I'm a big dick

Chapter 222 No.40 The four royal pens, some can hit three

The so-called public opinion can reflect public opinion to a certain extent.But most of the time, public opinion is created by the students and others, and is controlled by the gentry and students.

Zhu Youxiao sees this very clearly, and there are many examples of this in later generations, such as hiring sailors to spread rumors to manipulate the direction of public opinion.

In the Ming Dynasty, when the education penetration rate was very low, ordinary people were more likely to be fooled, and became the knife in the hands of others without knowing it.

For example, when Lao Dong was driven away by burning his house, the magistrates defined him as "difficult for scholars, but chaos for traitors".

In the late Ming Dynasty, it was not uncommon for students to collude with eunuchs, openly disregard the government and officials, and even insult and expel them.

Zhang Pu, who was the leader of Yingshe first and then Fushe, debated with Zhou Zhikui, the promoted official of the Suzhou government.

The students didn't give up, and went to Wujiang to hold a campaign to drive Zhou away, which finally made Zhou Zhikui uneasy and resigned.

In Jiangnan, especially in the Su and Song prefectures, the students were extremely arrogant and lawless.This has a lot to do with the court and the government's treatment of them too leniently, and they are often given light punishments.

Therefore, on the one hand, Zhu Youxiao reprimanded the students for all kinds of crimes through newspapers, and on the other hand, he sent Dongchang as his eyes and ears, preparing to carry out precise strikes and use severe punishments as an example.

Now, Zhu Youxiao's confidence is getting stronger and stronger, not only in controlling the army, but also in recruiting talents from all aspects.

I am not fighting alone, there are several pens shouting for it!
"Wei Qing did a good job with this article." Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied. He smiled and said to Wei Guangwei, a scholar who was standing in a standing position: "It's simple and straightforward, and ordinary people can understand it. It will be published in the next issue of the newspaper." Bar!"

"My minister obeys the order." Wei Guangwei bowed to accept the order.

Wei Guangwei was a Jinshi in the 32nd year of Wanli, and he was also a Shujishi of the Imperial Academy, that is, an elite selected from Jinshi.

In terms of talent and learning, Wei Guangwei had nothing to say.Character - well, the point is that there will be troubles.

"Da Ming Tribune" did not publish a few issues, Xiao Wei (distinguished from Lao Wei) saw an opportunity, and the submission was called diligent.

Not only is he diligent, Xiao Wei is also very considerate of the holy will.Punctuation marks are added to the article, and the central idea is also close to the main theme that the emperor wants to promote.

Hard work pays off, Zhu Youxiao saw it, wrote it down, and took Xiao Wei, a famous eunuch in history, under his command.

Don't say anything else, Xiao Wei is obedient!Let him go east instead of west, let him beat the dog but not the chicken.Needless to say, people understand it, Zhu Youxiao is really worry-free and comfortable to use.

Now, Xiao Wei is a bachelor's degree attendant, equivalent to a secretary, and also the editor-in-chief of a newspaper.The official position is not high, but he is a real close minister of the emperor.

"It is necessary to increase the intensity of publicity to expose the bad deeds of illegal students and gentry, as well as the dangers of forming gangs and fighting against dissidents." Zhu Youxiao continued to explain, "Next year, I will implement some new policies, and I don't want to encounter too much trouble. resistance."

"I understand." Wei Guangwei replied respectfully: "Long live we want to promote the advantages and eliminate the disadvantages, and to revive the country. I am willing to do the work of a dog and a horse."

What a good attitude, Zhu Youxiao nodded in appreciation, and said: "Ni Wenhuan recommended by Wei Qing, I agree, let's be a member of Zhongshushe first!"

"My minister thanked His Majesty Long En on his behalf." Wei Guangwei knelt down and kowtowed, overjoyed, recommending someone to be useful, which does not just show Wansui's trust in him.

Zhu Youxiao swung Wei Guangwei back with an intriguing smile on his face.

In the history books, although Wei Guangwei and Ni Wenhuan were talented and learned, they should be defined as flattering ministers.

But whether it's a secretary or a dog-headed military adviser, Zhu Youxiao still needs it.

People make the best use of their talents and things make the best use of them.It depends on how the high-ranking person positions and how to use it reasonably.

As for military affairs, Zhu Youxiao naturally would not count on these two people.From the Ministry of War to the local military towns, they all use solid ministers.

There are many talents available, and these Wu Jinshi—tomorrow is the palace examination!
Zhu Youxiao thought of the name in it, and couldn't help thinking again.

...........................

In the restaurant, several Wu Jinshi were drinking happily.

Unlike literati, although Wu Jinshi can also read and write, they pay more attention to martial arts, and their personality is much more forthright.Pushing a cup to change a cup, the voice is loud, and the atmosphere is even more enthusiastic.

"Brother Wu is from Liaodong. He is familiar with the situation there, so he will definitely be able to be sent to Liaodong." Qi Shiguang raised his glass and toasted enviously, "It's a good place for a man to be employed on the battlefield, which is enviable!"

Wu Xiang returned a toast, and said humbly: "The imperial court's distribution may not be based on the origin. Besides, apart from Liaodong, there are many places that have made great achievements."

Xu Rubin interjected: "Although this is the case, there are still more opportunities to gain military merits in Liaodong. This year alone, we have fought against the Eastern Captives several times, and there are many rewards for their meritorious deeds."

Xu Zhiqi from Jiading said: "I think what brother Qi said is reasonable. The imperial court should consider the place of origin. After all, being familiar with the terrain and adapting to the climate is also very important."

Among the crowd, Xu Zhiqi's cultural level is relatively high. He was born as a literary scholar, and because of his extraordinary physical strength and outstanding martial arts, he transferred to the martial arts department.

Perhaps this is the reason, Xu Zhiqi is rather arrogant and not good at flattering.Eating wine with everyone, the relationship is not bad.

Seeing that Xu Zhiqi agreed with him, Qi Shiguang raised his glass with a smile and said, "Actually, no matter where the imperial court is assigned, it is their duty to train troops to protect the environment and the people, and not to be responsible for soldiers."

Xu Zhiqi smiled and toasted, expressing his approval.

"To look at the specific assignment, it depends on the performance after entering the martial arts." Wu Xiang took two mouthfuls of food, and said slowly: "The three subjects of infantry, cavalry and artillery, which one do you prefer?"

Seeing the crowd looking at him with thoughtful expressions, Wu Xiang continued, "If it's the Cavalry Department, I'm afraid I'll stay in the Northland; as for the Artillery Department, I heard that the navy also needs it; the Infantry Department, it's hard to say."

"It can't be a free choice of subjects, right?" Qi Shiguang said uncertainly: "If there is a subject that no one will learn, what should I do?"

Xu Zhiqi pondered and said: "Someone thinks that they should be assigned according to their specialties, so that they can learn quickly."

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help laughing, and said, "Isn't it too early to think about these things now? Tomorrow is the imperial examination. Let's strive for the champion of martial arts."

Wu Xiang smiled wryly, and said: "If there is no competition in martial arts, there is still some hope."

Xu Rubin nodded in agreement, and said indignantly: "They have been studying for more than a month or a few months, but they came to compete with us, it is really shameless."

"In terms of real martial arts, it's no better than others. I can beat two or three of them." Qi Shiguang shook his arms, joking, but he was quite confident in his heart.

As the saying goes, "poor literature and rich martial arts", it really makes sense.

Qi Shiguang came from a rich family. He was smart and smart since he was a child. He didn't like reading, but he liked to practice martial arts.The family invited famous teachers to teach him, his martial arts greatly increased, and he was tall and powerful, and his manners were majestic.

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd, but the laughter didn't stop.The screen by the window on the other side was pushed open vigorously, and a few strong young men walked over with unkind expressions.

Afterwards, the screen around here was slammed open, and in the eyes of the crowd, a young man stared and said loudly: "Which bastard is bragging, he can beat two or three martial artists."

Looking at the costumes of these people, Qi Shiguang guessed that they were people of martial arts, and couldn't help feeling a little regretful.He also wanted to study martial arts, but he offended his senior or senior.

But being forced to ask, Qi Shiguang couldn't be more cowardly. He gritted his teeth and stood up, not to be outdone, and said: "What did you say?"

Wu Xiang hurriedly stood up, cupped her hands and said: "Drinking and chatting, talking and joking, if there is something inappropriate, I hope everyone will not be offended."

It was Xu Sanshao who came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime. In order not to return to Nanjing, but also for the martial arts exam, he and some students from the observation group rushed back to the capital from the southwest.

It was also a coincidence that they were also drinking in this restaurant, but they heard that some people spoke badly and looked down on martial arts.The young man was so angry that he couldn't hold back and came up to question him.

Xu Sanshao ignored Wu Xiang, pointed at Qi Shiguang, and said, "If you dare to say it, don't pretend to be a bear. Either you apologize now, or you will see the truth under your hands. It's not that you want people to bully you more, just the two of us, find Make a comparison somewhere."

"I'm afraid you won't make it." Qi Shiguang took a step forward and said, "Where did you say, I'll accompany you."

Xu Sanshao sneered and said, "It's not far, it's just around the corner. If you come with me, it's not a good guy who sneaks away." Then he turned around and left.

Qi Shiguang cupped his hands to the stunned crowd, and said, "Everyone, sit down, I will go back when I go."

Seeing Qi Shiguang strode away, everyone hurriedly got up to follow.

Although the trouble was caused by Qi Shiguang's inappropriate words, everyone came out together, and there was no reason for him to go alone.

........................

The vermilion gate slowly opened, and the sound of drums was played again. Under the guidance of the officials, the Wu Jinshi entered the majestic and majestic Forbidden City.

Sun Chengzong, Minister of the Ministry of War and chief examiner, had a gloomy face, standing on top of the alchemy, and only forced a smile when he accepted the worship of the Wu Jinshi.

Mr. Sun's eyes glanced over the faces of several Wu Jinshi from time to time, his bruised nose and swollen face made him feel annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.

These guys can't save the old man some snacks.If it hadn't been played for Long Live, time was running out, and they would have to be removed.

Xu Sanshao squeezed and wrinkled his panda eyes from time to time, not because he was winking, but because he was uncomfortable!

Qi Shiguang twitched his face from time to time, and a bruise on his cheek showed that he was not feeling well either.

Several other Wu Jinshi were also slightly injured, lighter than these two guys, but you can see it if you look closely.

One-on-one fights turned into gang fights. If the people from Wucheng Bingmasi hadn't arrived, these guys would be even more embarrassed than they are now.

It was originally an exciting and exciting palace test, but now it made them feel uneasy and regretful.Is this appearance considered disrespectful? If Long live sees it, you won't be punished, right?
The waiting time was not long, and His Majesty the Emperor came and issued an edict.

Under the leadership of officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, the Wugong soldiers entered the main hall with the internal officials who announced the decree.
