"Zhang Nianhua! You are a traitor, aren't you afraid that you will end up like this?! ”

After Zhang Wenxi obtained the emperor's permission, he really vigorously investigated the situation of the soldiers in the Fengyang area, and even began to investigate the situation of the soldiers in the military envoys.

As a result, a large number of civil servants and military generals in Fengyang were arrested or dismissed, and the gentry and other soldiers were also dismissed or exiled because of their military service.

Lu Liangui, the deputy envoy of Huaiyang's military garrison, scolded Zhang Wenxi loudly when he was arrested and taken to Beijing.

Zhang Wenxi didn't care.

He relied on the power of the military election division given to him by the emperor, and co-opted a group of Fengyang military ministers who also wanted to progress and did not serve soldiers, and stood on his side, so that although Lu Liangui and other bureaucrats and gentry could no longer serve the soldiers of the imperial court and began to cut the soldiers to make a fortune, they could only swallow their anger on the bright side.

But Zhang Wenxi offended the bureaucratic landlord class by doing this, after all, so the bureaucrats who represented the interests of the bureaucratic landlords naturally hated him to the core, began to impeach him in the court, and also slandered him among the people.

"The minister impeached Fengyang Inspector and Privy Council Martial Arts Election Secretary Zhang Wenxi abused the gentry and framed the officials, causing local resentment to boil, and everyone in the officials was in danger!"

On this day, Like gave Zhu Yijun a copy of the impeachment of Zhang Wenxi in the matter.

After Shoufu Shen Shixing saw it, he met with Chen Ye and asked, "How did Zhang Wenxi abuse the gentry and frame the officials?" ”

Chen Ye took out the exposé post and tabloid and said: "Hui Yuanfu, there is a post as evidence, and a large number of unveiling posts in the Huaiyang area revealed that Zhang Wenxi, in order to prove to the Privy Council that he was effective in rectifying military affairs, forcibly slandered the military constitution, guerrilla, and thousands of households to envoy the battalion, and even extorted large households, forcing them to pay 500 taels of books, otherwise they would falsely accuse the battalion soldiers of serving as slaves and forcibly extort their people. ”

Shen Shixing took these revelations and tabloids and read them, and after reading them, he said: "This is not enough evidence, who knows if it is framed, but you are giving advice, but you can hear about it." ”

"What Yuan Fu said is that if the subordinates continue like this, Fengyang officials will resign because of their own danger, and the big households are only afraid of moving to other parties, or reducing expenditures, which will greatly affect local commerce and trade, and then lead to an increase in displaced people."

Chen Ye replied at this time.

Shen Shixing said: "This is just your speculation, and you can't let Your Majesty listen to your words." ”

Therefore, Shen Shixing's opinion on the handling of Chen Ye's vote was to make Zhang Wenxi defend himself.

Yu Shiyuan Yikui therefore believed that Shen Shixing was shielding Zhang Wenxi, so he impeached Shen Shixing for sheltering the private party and hiding a treacherous heart.

Zhu Yijun directly ordered Yuan Yikui to be exiled to Andong Nuer.

The bureaucrats impeach Zhang Wenxi, and as the emperor, he does not have to make a statement in person, but to impeach the chief foreman Shen Shixing, he, the emperor, must have a clear position, otherwise it will only make Shen Shixing afraid to act again.

Yuan Yikui was exiled to the army, and his son Yuan Yuanrong was asked to be replaced.

Zhu Yijun immediately approved the royal approval, his words and filial piety could not be loyal, and the etiquette could not be disordered, so he only gave Yuan Yuanrong to accompany his father to slave work.

Yuan Yuanrong opened his mouth wide after receiving the holy decree, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, he didn't expect the emperor not to eat this set.

However, Yuan Yuanrong's behavior also won the sympathy of many bureaucrats, and for a time many officials were discouraged, saying that Yuan Yuanrong's filial piety was commendable, and the imperial court's handling was too impersonal, which would deepen the resentment of the people in the world, and would block the way of speech, so that the officials did not dare to speak.

However, these officials have been dismissed one after another.

Politics is originally a thing with me without you, and it is impossible for Zhu Yijun of the Central Court and the ruling party to allow the bureaucrats below to come against him.

Zhang Wenxi's self-defense was also sent to Beijing not long after, and Shen Shixing also expressed his belief when he planned to deal with his opinions, and instead transferred Chen Ye to Dongying to investigate the matter, which was actually a demotion and exile.

After all, the transfer of Beijing officials to the local officials in the customs can be regarded as a bright rise and a secret descent, not to mention going to the sea to Dongying to serve as an envoy.

The official gentry and right-handers in Fengyang were naturally greatly disappointed by this, and began to show sympathy for Chen Ye and Yuan Yingkui in the folk tabloids and daily conversations.

It's just that they can only do this, and they don't dare to really confront the imperial court, but they have intensified their efforts to fabricate rumors and smear Zhang Wenxi.

However, it was only very soon that they discovered that the people published the situation of the official gentry and the battalion, and the battalion soldiers and ordinary people orally reported that the gentry arrested the soldiers and the people without authorization, and even many officials and gentry went to arrest the soldiers and civilians wherever they went, which in turn led to many soldiers and civilians being killed and injured, and even the tabloids of wives and daughters being raped began to appear in large numbers.

Even, the number of such tabloids far outweighs the number of tabloid posts that smear Zhang Wenxi.

Almost everywhere in big cities such as Huai'an and Yangzhou there are blank spaces with such tabloid posts.

What's more, there are many tabloids that are stacked directly in densely populated places for people to pick up or distribute by children.

These are actually Zhu Yijun asked Jinyiwei to do this, in order to confuse public opinion first, and then correct public opinion.

That is, first expose the black material of the gentry and landlords who oppress the people, and then let the people of the world begin to learn to think in the two opposing public opinions, so that public opinion can really become a kind of supervision of the bureaucracy, instead of becoming a kind of mouthpiece for the bureaucrats, especially the civil bureaucrats.

Since the development of the rotary wooden lead printing machine in the temple, the official printing technology of the Ming Dynasty has naturally been greatly improved, and the printing speed is much faster, so it has more advantages in public opinion warfare.

What's more, the imperial court officials themselves are stronger in terms of financial resources and manpower.

In addition, the Jinyi Wei who was in charge of this matter was much stronger than before after being rectified by Zhang Jingxiu.

Therefore, after Zhu Yijun asked Jinyiwei to do this, it also caused the public opinion of exposing the gentry and the heroic forced soldiers and horses to overwhelm the public opinion of attacking Zhang Wenxi.

"Excessive! Very excessive! Who did this?! ”

"Why are you talking about the soldiers! Didn't the public know that he had ordered a ban? ”

Lu Shude, who was about to go to Nanjing to serve as Taichang Siqing, asked Shi Yingyue, the governor of Xinfengyang, on this day.

Shi Yingyue asked Lu Shude with some puzzlement: "Don't say that it can't be banned at all, even if it can be banned, how can we scholars block the mouths of people in the world?" ”

"That can't let such a clear discourse on humiliating Sven and humiliating the scholar clan be so promoted!"

"As a member of the scholars, should he sit idly by and watch such unhealthy practices spread?"

Lu Shude asked.

Syllable!

Shi Yingyue slapped the table and asked Lu Shude: "What do you mean by me sitting and watching, doesn't the prince still want the people of the world to speak through the newspaper?!" ”

Lu Shude couldn't help but say stupidly for a while: "I didn't mean that, I meant to go on like this, it's very inappropriate!" There will be an insult to the world's face! ”

"It's okay, there are still many gentlemen in the world, so that a few tabloids will ruin the image of our scholars, and the public must have confidence in our scholars."

Shi Yingyue said this.

"Announcement!"

Lu Shude could only sigh after hearing this, and then nodded and asked, "But Gong is really not worried about causing everyone in Fengyang to resign and everyone is uneasy?" ”

"The point is, I haven't seen anyone resign in anger because of these tabloid posts exposing the illegal service of soldiers and civilians, let alone seeing the life in the market affected by this?"
