Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 211 Joking about Yuan's Case
Wherever there are people, there are disputes, even in Jinyiwei, behind the calm, there are corresponding disputes.

When Jianlu invaded Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen began to use Jinyiwei. Except for Luo Yangxing, the high-level Jinyiwei, such as Wu Mengming and Li Ruolian, used to hold positions at the bottom. In order to maintain their status and continue to win the trust of the emperor, some internal fighting also exist.

Being beaten by Luo Yangxing like this, Wu Mengming put away the little thoughts in his heart, for fear that Luo Yangxing would lose patience with him, which would be too much for the gain.

It's just that Wu Mengming was still curious about what Li Ruolian, who was relied on by the emperor, was doing at this time, and what kind of things could be more important than escorting Yuan Chonghuan to parade in the streets?

"Li Qianshi, it stands to reason that we are in charge of errands, but why are we dressed like this?" Zheng Guangtai, a hundred households in casual clothes, looked puzzled, looked at Li Ruolian who was sitting by the window, and said, "What if something happens? , just those selected storytellers, don't be..."

"Put your heart in your stomach."

Li Ruolian smiled lightly, picked up the teacup casually, took a sip, and said, "If something goes wrong, they run faster than anyone else.

Our immediate task is to keep an eye on these storytellers to see if they are really working hard, and just don't let what they plan go wrong. "

Speaking of which, Li Ruolian looked through the window in front of him and looked down at the bustling street, only to see a middle-aged man in a green shirt holding a fan in his hand, surrounded by a crowded storytelling booth, and his voice was eloquent Talk eloquently.

"The book continues from the last chapter...Yuan Chonghuan knew the greatness of heaven's grace, and with his eloquent words, he boasted about the five-year flat Liao Dynasty, which deceived the emperor's trust. However, since he went to Liao, Yuan Chonghuan..."

In front of the storytelling stand, a crowd of people gathered and listened intently. The words of the storyteller, in order to make the short stories he made up attract people and not let others interrupt them, there are too many words in it. Joking words.

"Damn, this old man Li is really capable of nonsense, he can even make up the story of old Nutuo's dreams." Looking at the storytelling booth below, Zheng Guangtai's mouth twitched, and said, "If we don't know about the matter, Then what did Yuan Chonghuan do, this guy was really bluffed."

"Nonsense?"

A cold light flashed in Li Ruolian's eyes, a chuckle appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said coldly: "Compared with some civil officials in the court, including the so-called Qingliu and scholars in the capital, I feel that these storytellers rely on Yuan Chonghuan's self-reported crimes. The storytelling jokes compiled are much more reliable.

It is clear that Yuan Chonghuan has committed numerous crimes. He only deceived the emperor and acted in arrogance.

However, there are so many people who want to fight against His Majesty, and they use the law of Ming Dynasty and the way of sages and sages they abide by to impeach and remonstrate time and time again.

Yes... We, Jinyiwei, did do some bad things before this, but we didn't do anything about Yuan Chonghuan's case! "

As far as Li Ruolian was concerned, he was just a small role in the Jinyiwei before, even if he had the ability, but he had no connections, so he could only endure it. As for what the outcome would be, no one knew.

But Jian Ba ​​was personally named by Emperor Chongzhen, and he followed him into the battle, and made a lot of military exploits. The position of Jin Yiwei Commander Qian Shi can be regarded as a firm seat for him.

Jin Yiwei supervised Yuan Chonghuan's case, and Li Ruolian could clearly guess the emperor's intentions, especially in the court.

This group of high-ranking officials, especially those who supported Yuan Chonghuan in the court before, saw that their plan could not be achieved, and all of them jumped up.

"Damn, so that's what happened. Yuan Chonghuan rushed to Phi Island to kill Mao Wenlong in public. It turned out that he did not act according to the emperor's will, but by his own decree. Isn't this a motherfucker who has no eyes?"

"Who said it wasn't? Earlier I heard people say that Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong because Mao Wenlong had no sense and intended to rebel. Who the hell would have thought that it would be like this."

"Hey...old man, is what you said true? Don't tell me you made it up on purpose by tricking me, right?"

"Guest officers, this old man never tells lies. As for the truth, it's up to you to tell the truth. But this old man heard that Yuan Chonghuan was detained by Jin Yiwei today, and he's going to parade in the streets of the capital..."

Gathering in front of the storytelling stand, after listening to what the storyteller said, everyone became emotional, some believed what he said, some questioned what he said, in short, they said everything.

"This Li Shengzhong can be considered a talent."

Li Ruolian stood up, glanced at the restless crowd on the street, and said, "After this matter is over, I will accept him as a staff member of Jinyiwei.

His Majesty said earlier that the group of civil officials in the court, as well as Qingliu and scholars, were able to influence the situation in the court because they were guided by public opinion.

We Jinyiwei must also have the guidance of public opinion that we can control. In the future, we will cooperate with His Majesty's plan. Let's go, let's go to other places to have a look.

This joke about Yuan Chonghuan is related to the progress of the subsequent Yuan case. There must be no sloppy, or you will be punished! "

"Here!"

In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, it was never just a small group of well-read sages with inheritance who wanted to truly control the discourse power of Ming Dynasty's public opinion.

The broad illiterate group under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the low-level people who were never worthy of being called "people" in the eyes of officials, gentry and scholars, were the targets to be won.

If they didn't pay the taxes, it would be pure nonsense to try to solve each trouble according to Daming's situation.

However, under the influence of the Little Ice Age, under the background of frequent disasters, the group of self-cultivating farmers in Ming Dynasty has been reduced at an alarming rate, and the land under their name has been annexed by a group of privileged and tax-free groups.

Taking advantage of the Jinyiwei's supervision of Yuan Chonghuan's case, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to use this political incident to implement all the things he had planned.

The group of storytellers controlled by Jin Yiwei is just the beginning. When the time is right, newspapers with highly concentrated information will also appear under the rule of Ming Dynasty.

Right now in the capital, Jin Yiwei is dispatched to escort Yuan Chonghuan to parade in the streets, and storytellers are everywhere, narrating storytelling jokes compiled one by one, which makes the originally peaceful capital, as time goes by, is moving towards a The wind is moving.
