Chapter 471: Public Opinion Attack

Trouble.

We're in trouble!

Under severe torture, he accidentally beat the three military leaders Wang Hong, Yang Yufan, and Deng Xi to death.

The elegant civil official was startled, and his face turned pale.

"How could this be, how did it become like this?"

"I just tortured them lightly, and all of them were skin wounds, how could they die so unbeatenly, after a little blow?"

"I just screamed fiercely, trying to scare them into compromise, why, why did it become like this, three lives, and it was so gone?"

"It's not intentional, cheating, are the three of them playing tricks and pretending to be dead? These three old things, they actually gave me this set, continue to fight, wake them up, don't want to lie to me! ”

"Water, splash them with cold water to wake them up, it's useless to play this with me, I won't fall for you, don't want to deceive me!"

This elegant civil official, neurotic, crazy, couldn't accept the fact that the three of them were dead.

"My lord, it's useless, they're really dead, the corpses are all hardened, it can't be pretended. Woe to us, this time we really broke into a big disaster, if Your Majesty blames it, a few of us will not end well, what should we do, what should we do, my lord? Why don't you run away, such a big disaster, only by hiding can the disaster be eliminated. ”

"Yes, hurry up and run, public opinion all over the world is paying attention to this matter, Your Majesty is also facing a lot of pressure, as a result, everyone is dead, even if our side has a little reason, now there is no reason, the warlords of the whole world will seize this matter, and then put great pressure on Your Majesty."

"That's right, the things are injured, the military leaders of the whole world, their positions are the same, their interests are basically one, they are all threats to the imperial power, Your Majesty will get rid of them one by one sooner or later, but their combined strength is still too strong, and the court is difficult to deal with, if there is really a conflict, Your Majesty can only calm things down, let us come out to take the blame."

"It's dead, we shouldn't be too heavy, this time it's definitely over."

"Could it be that the spies did it secretly, we can't kill the three military leaders, is it that last night, some thieves sneaked in, fed the three military leaders, and wanted to frame the guy for us?" The elegant civil official said.

"It's unlikely, we checked, there is no sign of poisoning, it was beaten to death, there are wounds all over the body, it is very good to survive today, we shouldn't be so hard, a good errand, just play it like this."

"No matter, I'll go first, you can do it, I have a family and a room, and I don't want to lose my life."

The pawn ran away.

Then more pawns felt bad and fled in a panic.

The elegant civil officials actually wanted to escape, and they also wanted to find a place where no one was there to avoid the punishment on their heads, but ......

Where else can I escape?

can only be depressed, entered the palace, and reported the matter to Emperor Zhu Youzhen, saying that he accidentally messed up, and the three military leaders were all killed, and they did not let them make concessions, but such a change occurred, all of which were his fault, and I hope Your Majesty will punish him.

The elegant civil official knelt on the ground and said.

"Y-Why did you beat people to death?"

Zhu Youzhen was taken aback, and his whole body was trembling.

Because such a development was not in his plan at all, the script he planned was that after a little abuse and threats, Wang Hong, Yang Yufan, and Deng Xi, the three old military leaders, immediately obediently gave up their territory, signed the "Confession", and then gave up all the benefits in their hands and handed them over to the royal family for disposal.

Then the royal family successfully took the port of Tianjin, the sweatshop park in Tongzhou, and the underground minerals in the land of Jimen.

It is expected to generate an annual revenue of 200 million silver dollars.

As a result, they were smashed by this official, and they were all tortured to death, so naturally they could not get any benefits, and they had to face pressure from all sides.

"Arrest it, come on, hurry up and arrest this bastard thing, this person is a big rebel, abuses lynching, and privately kills three general soldiers who serve the country, the crime is extremely heinous, immediately detained, waiting to be beheaded!"

After a few words, Zhu Youzhen decided the fate of the elegant civil official, and the black cauldron was immediately deducted from his head, and there was basically no possibility of survival.

As a matter of fact.

For Wang Hong, Yang Yufan, and Deng Xi, Zhu Youzhen wished they were dead, and when he heard that they were killed, Zhu Youzhen's heart was actually a little happy, and he couldn't wait to applaud hard, after all, he had already bought them, obviously at the feet of the Son of Heaven, just around his Zhu Youzhen's sight, these three old things and their army, in the past ten years, actually committed fifty or sixty thousand incidents that harmed the people and cruel the people, it was simply too many to write, people and gods were angry, and they were also extremely arrogant, and they didn't take Wang Fa in their eyes at all.

Moreover, using such a tool of public opinion as the "Beijing Times," Zhu Youzhen ordered the publication of the evidence of the crimes of the three military leaders, and then reprinted it by the "Oriental Times" and other newspapers and periodicals.

As long as this public opinion continues to ferment.

Gradually, a national consensus was formed.

Wang, Yang, and Deng are not afraid of small military leaders at all, even Xu Jiazhuang, they can't help them justify and come out, because the evidence is real, all of them are true, so many victims, it is impossible for them to be all deceitful, even if the cronies of Wang, Yang, and Deng tried their best to explain, but the results achieved were very limited, completely at a disadvantage, and there was no convincing power.

Therefore, in this battle of public opinion, the royal family has the upper hand and won a big victory!

But such a good situation was messed up by that young official in an instant, and he directly killed people, how does this make the world view the royal family? Doesn't it expose his Zhu Youzhen's purpose, which is not to give a head to the common people, but to plunder the interests of the military leaders, once such a speculation is confirmed, it will be completely finished.

However, the more Zhu Youzhen worries, the more the things he worries about will become a reality.

Even much faster than he expected, there was no time for him to cover up and cheat, and the next day, the "Guanning Times" in the north published a report on the front page:

"Miserable, the three old generals Wang, Yang, and Deng have been tortured to death by the imperial court and have been brutally abused"

There are also some other big newspapers and tabloids that are also reported or reprinted as soon as possible, and in a very short period of time, they have become known to the whole world.

"Beaten to death, what crime did you commit, to do this to three old men"

"Even if they are guilty, the three veterans have also contributed to the country and deserve to be treated kindly"

"It's so cruel, why should you be so cruel to three old people? 》

"What is the purpose of the imperial court, if you want property, you can just take it away, why do you need to beat the old man? 》

More and more media outlets are reporting.

And not only is the content of the text shocking, but also the clear photos that I don't know who took them, which also appeared on the front page of the newspaper, or the kind that is not very coded, normal people will feel miserable when they see it, and they dare not look at it directly, let alone those who are very sympathetic.

And the families of the three veterans, after learning the bad news, also let out earth-shattering howls one by one, and also issued accusation articles in the newspaper, crying with tears and blood:

Why did you treat my father so cruelly? 》

"If you want to torture, torture me, I am willing to die in the place of my father!" 》

Father, my Father, who is going to take your life? 》

"Every day, every day, what crime did we commit to provoke such treatment? 》

Public opinion fermented to the back.

is the giant in the media, and the "Oriental Times" also had to express its stance that "the real culprit must be caught, and the three veterans must be innocent", which shows the position of the "Oriental Times", and at this moment it has also begun to favor the three military leaders and no longer endorse the interests of the royal family.

In such cases.

Zhu Youzhen had to immediately order an investigation, and soon caught the elegant civil official, and the trial was carried out on the same day, and he was sent to the execution table to be beheaded on the same day, and at a very fast speed, the elegant civil official was executed, and then he also ordered to stop the action against the three military leaders, and the royal army would withdraw after three days, and no longer stay for a long time, and also said that the royal family was absolutely not involved in this incident, that is, some of the following meritorious people, what they did, the royal family has dealt with them, and this matter is over, and there is no need to continue to hype.

It's just that......

The development of this world will not develop according to Zhu Youzhen's will, but will develop where he does not expect.

Therefore, the beheading of the elegant civil officials did not play any role, but attracted more questions and questions, and the military leaders everywhere also made a fuss, hoping that the emperor would give them an explanation that could convince them:

"I think the three old generals were killed by His Majesty, otherwise the three military attachΓ©s of the first rank can be killed by sending a petty official of the sixth rank at will, doesn't this mean that the civil officials who hold the sword of Shang Fang can kill whoever they want, and do whatever they want?"

"If you want to cover up and destroy the evidence, only the biggest suspect would do such a thing!"

"Your Majesty the Emperor, the three veterans have served the country loyally, and they have no merit and hard work, why should they be treated like this, and what are their crimes?"

"Our emperor, it's just a mediocrity in the past few years, but I didn't expect that after a few years of depravity, he suddenly became a tyrant, brutal to such an extent, do we still need to be loyal to such a tyrant, can we continue to be foolish and loyal ministers? I think this person on the dragon chair is not qualified at all, and he should be replaced by a benevolent monarch, otherwise the people of the Ming Dynasty and the rich and noble families of the Ming Dynasty will not have a good life! ”

"A joint investigation team must be set up to conduct a thorough investigation, and I hope that Xu Jiazhuang can take the lead, transfer professional personnel, and go to the capital again to see who did it, the murderer behind the scenes, is it our Emperor His Majesty, if so, what should we do? Are we discussing the establishment of a new system to limit the imperial power's right to kill people at will, or that this supreme right should be entrusted to a special agency to be responsible, and the will of the individual can no longer be allowed to run wild? ”

"This is the harm of human rule, I heard that in Xujiazhuang, no matter what disputes and contradictions, they are resolved through court lawsuits, and there are hundreds of mental evidence representatives, only when most people think they are guilty, they can be convicted, and the right to convict is put in the hands of a person, so that he can decide the life and death of others at will, it is really terrible, such a status quo must be changed, and the civilization model of Xujiazhuang must be promoted to every place."

"I also agree, today it is three old generals, tomorrow it may be other feudal officials, although we can understand the concerns of the royal family, but it is not okay to act so barbaric, we must formulate rules that everyone agrees with, including the royal family, must be followed, and there can be no outlaws."

Among so many comments.

Even Xu Jiazhuang's "Oriental Times" is biased towards the mainstream view at the moment, feeling that the death of the three old generals is too cruel and terrible, contrary to civilization, and this big eucalyptus cannot but go on, to form a joint investigation team, investigate the specific situation clearly, find out the real culprit behind the scenes, and the royal legion, should all be withdrawn, even if you want to manage the big and small things in Tianjin and other places, but it is not for the army to be responsible, you can send officials to go, the current royal practice, all are wrong, Be sure to make a change.

See these mainstream voices and comments.

Zhu Youzhen fell into great anxiety and panic.

can only express his position on the one hand, and will send someone to investigate what is going on, to catch the real murderer, and will not let go of those brutal people.

The second is to send a large number of elite brocade guards, go to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and kill all the people in the know in this eucalyptus, although this order means that hundreds of human lives will be ended, but in order to prevent the royal family from being in the center of the storm of public opinion, he can only make this decision, otherwise the evidence will be found, and the direction of the investigation will be pointed to him, the emperor, it will be a great destruction of the imperial power, and it is possible that several rebellious military leaders will emerge immediately.

It's just that the more you are afraid of something, the more something will come.

The Jinyi guards sent by Zhu Youjian have not yet destroyed a few mouths, and more than a dozen people who claim to know all the reasons have appeared in the lenses of some media, telling everything they know, and the evidence they put together really pointed to the emperor, and also said: "Reporter friends, it was His Majesty the Emperor who asked us to do this, saying that the territory occupied by the three old army leaders is too fat, and they must be spit out, if they don't compromise and sign, they will be beaten to death, but I didn't expect that they would be really killed in two or three strokes, we don't want to be so dead, But Lord Liu screamed too much, who knew that the consequences would be so serious, now we are going to be exterminated, we don't want to die, we are willing to confess everything, I hope you can save our lives! ”

After this report came out.

The public opinion of the entire Ming Dynasty was in an uproar!
