886 Isn't it just a public opinion war!
The two of them thought of this hatred, not that the emperor was cruel to others, but to himself.
If another emperor had a trace of danger, he would have wanted to hide away immediately. Emperor Chongzhen was better, and he put himself in a dangerous place, just to have enough excuses to fight in Jiangnan and establish the majesty of the court.
However, Wen Tiren and Cao Huachun thought about it carefully and found that this seemed to be a normal thing for their emperor. Not to mention the rioters in Jiangnan, even when Jianlu was in full swing, he was fearless. In order to cause Jianlu to suffer a large number of casualties and withdraw from the capital as soon as possible, he actually sent out various royal troops to use himself as bait to attract Jianlu to attack the capital, so as to waste Jianlu's lives.
They were thinking about it, and when they saw Emperor Chongzhen send another message: "This illegal thing in Nanxun Town is something I saw with my own eyes. Local tyrants incite mobs to attack the Jinyiwei, I also saw with my own eyes. Such things are like rebellion. I see what else can those officials and gentry say! I am not the previous emperor! This time, no matter what, they will never be able to use any reason to deceive me!"
Hearing this, Wen Tiren and Cao Huachun both understood that Emperor Chongzhen refers to the things during the Wanli period. However, they were not as optimistic as Emperor Chongzhen. Seeing the emperor speaking like this, they knew the morality of the officials and gentry immediately spoke: "Your Majesty, since the Jinyiwei waist tags were all displayed, they were not moved. They continued to kill and silence them. They must have made a comprehensive arrangement, so they must be careful!"
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks..."
Wen Tiren, who spoke behind, was interrupted by Emperor Chongzhen before he could say anything. He saw him inserting a sentence forcefully, "Of course they have it, they are just looking for those pens to slander. I am here, how can they slander? It's not just a few Jinyiwei here! Besides, I have asked Jinyiwei Liu Qing to personally get physical evidence. This matter is a foregone conclusion, and it is impossible to reverse the black and white things again!"
Wen Tiren couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this. The emperor was still a little younger. Although he was from Jiangnan, he was the chief assistant and the emperor's confidant. He sat on the emperor's side and said, "Your Majesty, these are not important! What is important is how people outside Nanxun Town view this matter. Although Your Majesty saw it with his own eyes, people from other places did not see it. If those Jiangnan literati, officials and gentry all turned black and white, and their pens were in their hands, they could write it all and recite it privately, and what Your Majesty said would be poor. The old minister said something bad, and maybe his Majesty would have a bad reputation..."
Seeing Wen Tiren's words, Emperor Chongzhen finally understood the real problem.
Since ancient times, the pen has been in the hands of literati, so how they write is very important. Just like Emperor Zhengde of this dynasty, he even went to fight to kill the enemy himself and killed the Mongolian Tartars. After that battle, the Mongolian Tartars did not dare to invade the Ming Dynasty for decades. Such a big thing was because Emperor Zhengde was not favored by those civil officials, and he mentioned it in history books and said it lightly, just like an ordinary person who farts. In the end, Emperor Zhengde was just an indecent emperor without virtue in the impression of later generations!
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but sneer. He understood that although they could not deceive themselves in Nanxun Town this time, even if Liu Xingzuo obtained the evidence, their pens would still be written randomly. At that time, they would be distorted and spread throughout the Jiangnan generation. In places far away from Nanxun Town, those who do not understand the truth will be deceived by them. In this way, not only will the court's national policies be promoted in Jiangnan, but they may not achieve the expected results, and they may even become a tyrant or something.
Haha, isn’t it just a battle of public opinion! Emperor Chongzhen sneered in his heart, I have hundreds of years of history for reference. The explosion of news in later generations is something you can’t imagine. Since this is the case, I will fight you again!
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen said flatly: "At this time, I have made a decision, so don't worry. Just do as I say, and change it based on the memorial of the literati and supervisor. Follow my will and declare it to the world within a day and officially implement it!"
Wen Tiren and Cao Huachun were both stunned when they saw this. Judging from the emperor's words, it seemed that they had their own countermeasures. But such a thing could not be solved in previous dynasties. What countermeasures could the emperor have?
Although they couldn't figure it out, Emperor Chongzhen had many unexpected and unheard things since the end of the second year of Chongzhen. Both of them responded in unison with suspicion: "The old minister (slave) obeyed the order!"
After Emperor Chongzhen withdrew from the chat group, he pondered for a while and then became scheming in his heart. He stood up and said to Concubine Tian with a smile: "Miss, go out for a walk!"
Concubine Tian was really bored after being held in this private house for a day. Therefore, when he heard Emperor Chongzhen say this, the outside was controlled by Jinyiwei, and the safety was guaranteed, he immediately responded happily.
After leaving the room, he saw Chen Youming's family and the silkworm farmers in a corner of the yard. Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "You have worried about these two days!"
When these people saw that the emperor was still as approachable as before, they couldn't help but feel moved to kneel down.
"No need to be so polite, I have to go out and see." Emperor Chongzhen reached out and signaled, stopped them, and then said to the silkworm farmers, "You can't go home for the time being, but your family must be worried. In this way, you choose one person and I will send the Jinyiwei to escort you back to report your safety!"
The Jinyiwei escorted himself back to report the news? When these silkworm farmers heard this, they came back to their senses for a while and were all ecstatic. If they went back like this, they would be so majestic! Suddenly, they all wanted to agree, but they were not as quick as Wang Bo, so they saw Wang Bo first said: "Your Majesty, the villain is older, it is safer to go back to report the news."
Emperor Chongzhen didn't care. He nodded and agreed, which made other silkworm farmers both disappointed and envious.
"Chen Youming, please go out for a walk with me." Emperor Chongzhen then named him again. He was a local, so naturally this guide could not be missing.
Chen Youming naturally would not disagree, so he agreed immediately and took a step forward to prepare to go out.
Her wife looked at Emperor Chongzhen, and secretly gritted her teeth and pushed her son without a trace.
"Dad, I'm going too!" His son immediately hugged his father's thigh and said with anticipation.
When her wife saw this, she immediately whispered: "Be good, come back quickly. Your father has something big to do, don't bother him!"
