Li Biao covered his chest and pointed at Chen Zizhuang, his face was pale, and his mouth was full of only: "You, you, you ......"

Chen Zizhuang emphasized again: "Please Your Majesty uphold the hearts of the people, Jing Fuyan, and kill traitorous ministers!" ”

Many of the rumor-gossiping officials of the Manchu Dynasty also gritted their teeth with hatred for Chen Zizhuang, but they didn't know how to refute it at this time.

Because Chen Zizhuang is too capable of speaking.

If you say that he speaks for his relatives, he will threaten to go to prison together and let Dongchang find out who has a clean foundation.

If you follow Li Biao and agree that Sun Chuanting and Zhou Yuji have original sin, then he will give you a big hat and say that you are disrespectful, saying that Sun Chuanting and Zhou Yuji are both people used by the emperor and have nothing to do with relatives.

If you say that you have a lot of people and hold the public opinion of the world, but he says that you are a dictatorship, and he also says that it is more terrible than the dictatorship of relatives and eunuchs.

The gossip officials no longer dare to speak, nor do they dare to threaten the emperor with more people, because they are not willing to really put a dictatorship on themselves.

"It is a dictatorship of civil officials, and history books and words cannot show its evil."

Tianqi listened to it, and said in his stomach: "It's still more ruthless for scholars to criticize their own people!" This is the first time I've heard that. However, it is not wrong to say that now the Ming Dynasty, the harem of the relatives is from a humble background, and there is no threat for a long time, the eunuchs are just domestic slaves, and they can be removed with one hand, and the military ministers can no longer enter the phase. ”

Tianqi looked at Sun Chengzong: "Sir, what do you think of what Chen Zizhuang said?" ”

Sun Chengzong looked depressed.

Can you not ask me!

Haven't you seen that I've been keeping a low profile lately?

But Sun Chengzong knew that the emperor was testing him by asking him.

He knew that among the civil officials that the emperor Tianqi cared about the most, it was himself, the emperor, whether he had the same heart as him.

Sun Chengzong had no choice but to reply: "Your Majesty, what Chen Hanlin said is right!" ”

Sun Chengzong's words, although he catered to the Son of Heaven and admitted Chen Zizhuang's views, also offended the gossip officials.

Li Biao and other gossip officials looked at Sun Chengzong in astonishment.

Sun Chengzong didn't look at them, he only lowered his head, he couldn't really betray the king just for the sake of Shilin's reputation.

Tianqi smiled happily and said: "According to what Mr. said, Li Biao clearly said that the border ministers were swimming in relatives, and secretly disrespected the monarch's father, which can be described as a great treachery and loyalty, a great hypocrisy and straightforwardness, clever and deceitful, and the judgment is immediately decided!" ”

Li Biao was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Zhang Gui: "Uncle Guo!" Aren't you going to say something?! ”

In Li Biao's view, all this was caused by Zhang Gui, since Zhang Gui appeared, the Ming Dynasty has become more and more distracted from the path that their civil officials wanted, and now even civil officials and civil officials are killing each other.

"Your Majesty, it's not a matter of my Xichang and the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, it's inconvenient for a relative to say more, the minister asks Your Majesty for permission, and the minister remains silent."

Zhang Gui replied.

Apocalypse nodded.

Li Biao: "......"

He had to admit that Zhang Gui was not as easy to deal with as an ordinary relative.

Because this uncle of the country will not directly engage in the affairs of the party and fighting against others, and always use the imperial program and national law to get rid of someone when he gets rid of others, it seems that he is not selfish, and he always pulls a gang to fight a gang, and buys people's hearts with interests and righteousness, and more importantly, anyone who chooses to support or stand on his side can be promoted and knighted, so that there are still many people speaking for him.

Li Biao could only play tricks, and said excitedly: "Chen Zizhuang is clearly your person!" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is wronged!"

"Chen Hanlin is a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and the ministers are relatives, all of them are just His Majesty's people, how dare they be each other's main servants, in order to prove the innocence of the ministers, His Majesty can issue an order to let the ministers and Chen Hanlin go to the edict and prison, and be strictly investigated by the East Factory."

Zhang Gui hurriedly replied.

Chen Zizhuang also echoed: "Your Majesty, the minister is also willing to be tried in prison to prove his innocence!" ”

He and Chen Zizhuang do have no selfish dealings, but they will cooperate very tacitly in the court.

Of course, Chen Zizhuang, a loyal martyr in history who Ning Pojia Ning saw his young son killed by the Qing army and refused to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Gui couldn't win him over with his personal interests, and from beginning to end, Chen Zizhuang was willing to listen to Zhang Gui's call, all because the two had the same idea.

"Drag Li Biao down and cut him immediately!"

Apocalypse said impatiently.

Regardless of whether Chen Zizhuang and Zhang Gui had a personal relationship, he didn't bother to ask, and he even wished that Zhang Gui would marry more civil officials to make the scholars more divided, so that he, the emperor, could pull a gang to fight and a gang to engage in checks and balances.

Moreover, Tianqi is now most afraid of Zhang Gui saying that he will be sent to prison.

Tianqi knew that if he really sent Zhang Gui to prison, not only would the previous dynasty be restless, but the harem would also be uneasy.

What's more, he asked himself that the queen was not easy to handle by himself.

"Your Majesty!"

Li Biao shouted depressedly, then glanced at Zhang Gui, and said in his heart: "It's this trick again!" Knowing that the Son of Heaven will not send you to prison, he will let the Son of Heaven put you in prison to prove his innocence at every turn, you dare to go to prison, does he Wei Zhongxian dare to try you? Chen Zizhuang must have learned from you, and he will threaten to go to prison together at every turn! ”

Li Biao knew that he couldn't afford to provoke Zhang Gui and Chen Zizhuang, who were going to prison together, and he was really afraid.

Therefore, Li Biao only pleaded with the apocalypse in the end: "Your Majesty, no matter what, you can't let the ministers be offended for your words, and you can't block the way of speech!" The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die, but Your Majesty really wants the world to be united from now on, and no one dares to speak again?! ”

An Tong also followed: "Your Majesty, it's not a pity for the ministers to die, but if the ministers die, I'm afraid no one will dare to speak out!" ”

"Your Majesty! The minister thought that this kind of blunt statement that almost ruined the side affairs and made the border minister die in vain! ”

"What the imperial court wants to do now is actually to reform the way of speech, and no longer let some treacherous people ruin the court's politics in the name of outspokenness!"

Chen Zizhuang said.

Tianqi didn't pay attention to Li Biao and these people here, and only let Jinyiwei drag Li Biao, An Tong and others down.

And Li Biao, An Tong and others were indeed beheaded next.

When the words turned back, Tianqi only asked Chen Zizhuang here: "How to change the way of speech?" ”

"First of all, the official can't just be a civil servant!"

"Because, now only from the words of a few civil ministers, it is not enough to represent the public opinion of the world, the so-called both listening is clear, partial belief is dark, Your Majesty really wants to listen to the advice, you should hear the words of more people in the world!"

"Therefore, it is necessary to let some upright and knowledgeable military ministers and common people also serve as speech officials, so that they can listen to their words and not let their words and roads be controlled by civil ministers."

"Secondly, when an official newspaper is set up, and the official government is ordered to set up a newspaper, which is not only like the "Di Bao" to publish national policies and state affairs and inform the people of the world, but unlike the "Di Bao", it is allowed to let the people contribute, select their articles and stories to publish on it, and spread it to the people of the world, and His Majesty can also know the world's speech through the newspapers and periodicals, and organize personnel to collect all kinds of news and put it on it, so that the people of the world can know, and let His Majesty know more about the world's affairs through the official newspaper, not just through the official and close attendants."

Chen Zizhuang put forward the idea of controlling public opinion that Zhang Gui had proposed to him.

Yang Jingchen, a scholar of Hanlin Academy, was eager to come out to object.

In his opinion, let the official government run the newspaper and let the speech officials have the participation of non-civilian officials, there is no doubt that there will be no more so-called public discussions in the Ming Dynasty, because everyone can speak, it is better that everyone cannot speak.

But Sun Chengzong pulled him at this time.

Sun Chengzong secretly instructed: "Don't fight! I can't fight Uncle Guo! The more you fight, the more restructuring suggestions he throws out! Now that this is the case, at least let the civil officials follow along, and if you oppose it, believe it or not, he will make His Majesty feel that everyone in the civil service should be killed! ”

After hearing this, Yang Jingchen had no choice but to retreat, did not stand up, and only said: "But in this way, the public discussion will no longer be my Shilin public discussion!" ”

"No, no, no! Is the Ming Dynasty having the final say, or is the Son of Heaven having the final say?! ”

Sun Chengzong asked.
