In fact, Zhu Youzhen founded the newspaper for another purpose, for future reforms.

Abolishing the privileges of the gentry class is what Zhu Youzhen must do, and he will definitely be counterattacked by the gentry class!

The gentry relied on their studies to make a name for themselves, controlled the countryside, and controlled public opinion, and they would inevitably incite the uninformed people to confront the court!

Many people living in the countryside only know the gentry who rented them land to plant, and they don't know who the emperor is, and they are easily incited by the gentry with small favors.

And the establishment of a newspaper can grasp public opinion, so that the people of the world can understand the truth of many things, and know that it is not the emperor who exploits and oppresses them, but the gentry! So that they would not follow the gentry against themselves.

In short, it is to open up the wisdom of the people through newspapers, so that the people of the world will no longer be fooled by the gentry and scholars!

Of course, once the royal people's newspaper was sold in various places, the gentry would certainly be able to quickly learn the stakes and understand the power of the newspaper, and they would inevitably follow suit and create their own newspapers to fight with the royal people's newspaper.

And that's what Zhu Youjian is happy to see, because only when there are enough newspapers, will the people's wisdom be opened quickly enough, and when the time is ripe, then casually use national security as an excuse to set up a regulatory structure, formulate a regulatory system, and bring all newspapers into supervision.

Of course, these are all afterthoughts, that is, it takes a certain amount of time to establish the Royal People's Newspaper, and it cannot be done in a day.

However, Cao Huachun's method of flipping public opinion in Beijing can be tried first, and at least it can change the passive situation of the court.

......

In the afternoon, the General Administration Department sent a lot of notes to the palace, which were handled by the cabinet and handed over to the palace to be stamped with red.

Zhu Youzhen will no longer read all the notes again, and will read them all in person. Instead, the eunuchs who are responsible for the pen will be clothed in red, and the more important Zhu Youzhen will personally approve it.

And now, a large number of recitals are placed on the dragon case, and there are as many as a dozen copies, all of which are about the impeachment of Li Yanzhi, the general soldier of Fujian, who killed people and destroyed people.

Seeing these impeachment slackening, Zhu Youzhen sneered.

It's finally time to come!

So he issued a decree that the next day's court meeting would be canceled on the grounds of ill health, and all matters would be discussed and handled by the cabinet, and the results would be handed over to the imperial review.

It's not that Zhu Youzhen escaped, but he had to wait for things to ferment and turn over.

On the night of the same day, a team of Jinyiwei secret agents disappeared into the streets of Beijing, and hundreds of storytellers, drummers, and folk artists who sang songs were arrested one after another and taken into Jinyiwei's secret stronghold.

There is no need to be punished, as long as there is a slight intimidation, these people will quickly confess, and the commentaries and operas they rap about General Li and Huang Yulang are all instructed by others. It was nothing more than someone handing them over the written storytelling opera, and then giving them some silver taels to sing in the tavern teahouse.

Jin Yiwei didn't do anything to those instructors, but just wrote down their names, all of them were scholars like some Xiucai and prisoners.

There was no punishment for these folk artists, but they were given a shoddy booklet and told them to sing according to the booklet the next day. If you don't agree, hum hum......

The booklet was made up by the eunuchs in the inner study for an hour or two, according to the changes in the notes sent to the palace by Li Yanzhi and others, telling the heroic deeds of Li Yanzhi who crossed the sea to defeat the red-haired ghost and rescue the Han people in Bon Gang, and then learned of the conspiracy and led the troops back to Xiamen to eliminate the heroic deeds of Huang Zheng, a gentry who colluded with the pirate red-haired ghosts.

Because of the tight time and the urgency of the task, the scripts written by the eunuchs were very rough, and the opera didn't even talk about the rhyme. In desperation, they could only stay up late to polish and rewrite.

Although he was forced to sing, he couldn't smash his signboard, right?

The next day, at the Tongfu Hotel, the old guests drank comfortably, ready to listen to the romance of Huang Yulang vs. the princess of the Japanese Kingdom again, but when the storyteller came to the stage, they suddenly found that the content of the storytelling had changed. The characters are still the original characters, General Li and Huang Yulang and Huang Gongzi are all there, but the characters of both sides have changed abruptly.

The unparalleled Huang Gongzi has become a vicious thief who colludes with red-haired ghost pirates, and the cruel and shameless General Li has become a hero who eliminates harm for the people!

Compared with "Huang Yulang's Exploration of the Sea and the Grievances", this commentary called "General Li Kills Ghosts and Eliminates Traitors" is more tortuous and the story is more bizarre, but there are a lot less descriptions of Fengyue.

Damn, what's going on? The storyteller's mouth opens and closes, how can it all change!

"Isn't Huang Gongzi a righteous man who helps the villagers make money? How did you become a traitor who colluded with the red-haired ghost? At that time, some guests were angry and asked the storyteller what was going on. After all, although Huang Gongzi has a bit of a miserable ending, his romance and wealth are still very enviable, and he already has many fans.

The storyteller timidly glanced at the plainclothes brocade guard who pretended to be Xiao Er, spread his hands, and said with an embarrassed smile: "I only heard yesterday that Huang Yulang is not a good person, and Li Gongzi is a big hero." Everyone, listen to me, this Li Gongzi is not simple, he is a martial artist, handsome and chic, both civil and military, once led troops to pacify King Fu's rebellion, and followed His Majesty on an expedition to northern Shaanxi to pacify the rebellion of the displaced people.

By the way, you don't know, Li Gongzi is also a romantic person, when he was in northern Shaanxi, he met a strange woman named Red Lady, this Red Lady is as beautiful as a flower and has strong martial arts, but she is from the rivers and lakes, there are inferior gentry who are greedy for her beauty, and she wants to be forcibly accepted as a concubine, the Red Lady refuses, and takes a few brothers to kill officials and rebel, Li Gongzi personally took the Praetorian Guard to conquest, but he fell in love with the Red Lady at first sight......"

In desperation, the storyteller urgently made it up again.

In the narrator's mouth, another bizarre and twisted love story slowly unfolds, this story is more twists and turns, and the love is more resonant, and soon attracts the guests into the plot.

The image of a heroic, loyal, and loving general appeared in front of the drinkers, and soon replaced Huang Yulang.

"Huang Yulang really deserves to die, he actually colluded with the red-haired ghost to kill Li Gongzi."

"The red lady is really a heroine, she loves it."

The storytelling is over, and the drinkers are still talking. The story is no longer sadistic and has a perfect ending. After many difficulties, General Li finally killed the traitor, eliminated the harm for the people, and flew with the red lady, which is a serious cool text, and the drinkers love to listen to it!

At a wine table against the wall, Gong Yonggu drank alone, listening to the discussions of the drinkers, but sighed secretly in his heart. I originally thought that today's court meeting would solve the problem of separation between my husband and wife, but I didn't expect to be released by the emperor.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have lost me!
