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

Zhu Youxiao saw this clearly and clearly. There were many such examples in later generations, such as hiring navy troops to spread rumors to manipulate public opinion orientation.

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

For example, when Lao Dong was driven away by burning a house, he was characterized by local officials as "it was difficult to cause trouble for scholars, but chaos was caused by traitors."

In the late Ming Dynasty, it was not uncommon for students to collude with the township officials, openly view the government and officials, and even humiliate and expel them.

Zhang Pu, who was the leader of Yingshe and then Fushe, argued with Zhou Zhikui, the Suzhou Prefecture's chief executive. The students urged to post a manifesto to expel Zhou, forcing Zhou Zhikui to be appointed as the magistrate of Wujiang.

The students did not give up and ran to Wujiang to hold the Zhou Dynasty to drive the Zhou Dynasty, which eventually made Zhou Zhikui resigned because he was uneasy.

In Jiangnan, especially in Susong's two prefectures, the students were particularly arrogant and could not tell the truth. This has a lot to do with the court and the government's handling of them too leniently and often lead to lighter despair.

Therefore, on the one hand, Zhu Youxiao scolded the students for their various illegalities through newspapers, and on the other hand, he sent the East Factory as an example to prepare to carry out a precise crackdown and use severe punishment to serve as a warning to others.

Now, Zhu Youxiao’s confidence is getting stronger and stronger, not only his control over the army, but also his efforts to gather talents from all walks of life.

I am not fighting alone, there are several pens waving flags and shouting!

"Wei Qing did a good job in this article." Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied, smiling and said to Wei Guangwei, a bachelor of the school, who was standing solemnly, "It is simple and straightforward, and the people can understand it. Let's publish it in the next issue!"

"I obey the order." Wei Guangwei bowed and accepted the order.

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

Wei Guangwei didn't say anything about talent and learning. Character - well, the key is that he can still do things.

Before the "Da Ming Tribune" was released for a few issues, Xiao Wei (different from Lao Wei) saw the opportunity, and he was very diligent in submitting his articles.

Not only did he devote himself to diligence, but Xiao Wei also understood the holy intention very well. The article was punctuated and the central idea was also close to the main theme that the emperor wanted to promote.

Hard work pays off. Zhu Youxiao saw it, recorded it, and brought Xiao Wei, a famous eunuch party in history, under his command.

If you don’t say anything else, Xiao Wei will be obedient! He will let him go east and not go west, and let him beat dogs and chase chickens. Without further ado, people will understand it. Zhu Youxiao is really worry-free and comfortable to use.

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

"We must also increase publicity efforts to expose the bad deeds of illegal students and gentry, as well as the harm of forming gangs and forming gangs, and fighting against differences." Zhu Youxiao continued to explain, "Next year, I will implement some new policies and do not want to encounter too much resistance."

"I understand." Wei Guangwei replied respectfully: "Long live to promote the pros and cons, and to restore the national power. I am willing to work hard for all the people."

How good is this attitude? Zhu Youxiao nodded and praised it and said, "I am sure that Ni Wenhuan recommended by Wei Qing, so I will be a Zhongshuo servant first!"

"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness." Wei Guangwei knelt down and kowtowed, very happy. He recommended someone to use it. This is incorrect. Long live trust in himself.

Zhu Youxiao retreated Wei Guangwei, with an intriguing smile on his face.

In historical books, although Wei Guangwei and Ni Wenhuan are talented, they should be defined as flattering ministers.

But whether it is a secretary or a dog-headed military advisor, Zhu Youxiao still needs it.

It depends on how the superiors position themselves and how they use their talents.

As for military and national affairs, Zhu Youxiao naturally would not expect these two people. From the Ministry of War to the local military town, they were all capable ministers.

There are many talents available, and there are also these martial arts scholars - it will be the palace examination tomorrow!

Zhu Youxiao thought of the name and couldn't help but ponder again.

…………………………………………………………

In the restaurant, several martial arts scholars were drinking happily.

Unlike literati, although the martial arts and Jinshi also read and read, they focus more on martial arts and have a more generous personality. They have a loud voice and a more lively atmosphere.

"Brother Wu is from Liaodong. If you are familiar with the situation there, you must be sent to Liaodong." Qi Shiguang raised his glass to toast with envy, "It is a good place for men to hire the battlefield, which is enviable!"

Wu Xiang replied with a cup and said humbly: "The imperial court's assignment may not be based on its original origin. Moreover, in addition to Liaodong, there are also many ways to make achievements."

Xu Rubin interrupted, "Although that's the case, there are still more opportunities to get military merits in Liaodong. This year alone, he has fought with the Donglu several times, and many people have won rewards for their achievements."

Xu Zhiqi, a native of Jiading, said: "I thought what Brother Qi said was reasonable. The court should consider his hometown. After all, it is also very important to be familiar with the terrain and adapt to the climate."

Among the crowd, Xu Zhiqi has a relatively high level of education. He was a literary scholar. He was promoted to the martial arts profession because of his extraordinary skills and outstanding martial arts skills.

Perhaps this is why Xu Zhiqi is a bit arrogant and not good at flattering. He has a normal relationship with everyone.

Seeing that Xu Zhiqi agreed with him, Qi Shiguang smiled and raised his glass to signal, saying, "In fact, no matter where the imperial court is assigned, it must take training troops to protect the territory and the people as its responsibility, and do not bear the responsibility of the soldiers."

Xu Zhiqi smiled and raised her glass, expressing her approval.

"I have to look at the specific assignment, and I also have to look at my performance after entering martial arts." Wu Xiang ate two bites of the dishes and said slowly: "The three departments of infantry, cavalry and artillery, I wonder which department do you want?"

Seeing everyone looking at him and showing a thoughtful look, Wu Xiang continued, "If it were a cavalry department, I would probably have to stay in the north; as for the artillery department, I heard that the navy also needs it; the infantry department, it is hard to say."

"Isn't it a free choice for the subject?" Qi Shiguang said uncertainly: "If there is no subject to study, what if there is no one to learn?"

Xu Zhiqi pondered and said, "I think it should be allocated according to my specialties, so I can learn quickly."

After saying that, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Is it too early to think about this now? Tomorrow will be the palace examination. Let's fight for the top martial arts scholar."

Wu Xiang smiled bitterly and said, "If there is no competition for martial arts, there is still some hope."

Xu Rubin nodded and said angrily: "They have been studying for more than a month or several months, but they come to compete with us. It's so shameless."

"If you talk about real martial arts, you can beat them two or three more than others." Qi Shiguang shook his arm and joked, but he felt quite confident in his heart.

As the saying goes, "poor literature and wealth in martial arts", it makes sense.

Qi Shiguang was born in a wealthy family. He was smart and clever since childhood. He did not like to study, but liked to practice martial arts. His family invited famous teachers to teach him, and his martial arts skills increased greatly, and his burly figure and behavior were powerful.

Everyone burst into laughter, but the laughter had not stopped. The screen beside the window was pushed away vigorously, and several strong young men walked over with a bad expression.

Then, the screen on the fence was suddenly opened. As everyone turned their eyes, a young man stared at him and shouted: "Which bastard is bragging, can fight two or three martial arts."

Qi Shiguang looked at the clothes of these people and guessed that they were martial artists, so he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He also wanted to enter martial arts, but he offended his senior brother or senior.

But when someone forced him to ask, Qi Shiguang couldn't be timid. He gritted his teeth and stood up, and said unwillingly: "What did you say?"

Wu Xiang quickly stood up and bowed, "Drinking, chatting, verbally joke. If there is any inappropriateness, I hope you don't get surprised."

The one who came to fight for the army was Xu Sanshao. In order not to return to Nanjing and to the martial arts examination, he and some of the students from the observation group rushed back to the capital from the southwest.

It was also coincidental that they were having a drink in this restaurant, but they heard that someone was rude and underestimated martial arts. The young man was so angry that he couldn't help but come 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. Otherwise, you will apologize now, or you will see the truth from behind. It's not that people want to bully you more, let's find a place to show off."

"Just compete, I'm afraid you won't succeed." Qi Shiguang took a step forward and said, "Where do you say you are, I'll accompany you."

Xu San Shao sneered and said, "It's not far away, it's near. Follow me, the guy who sneaked away is not a hero." As he said that, he turned around and left.

Qi Shiguang bowed to the people who were a little stunned and said, "Sit down, please go back."

Seeing Qi Shiguang strode away, everyone hurriedly stood up and followed.

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

………………………………………

The vermilion gate slowly opened, and the drums and music were played again. Under the guidance of officials, the Wu Jinshi walked into the grand and majestic Forbidden City.

Sun Chengzong, the Minister of War and Chief Examiner, had a gloomy face and stood above Danbi. When he accepted the visits of the Wu Jinshi, he just forced a smile.

Lord Sun's eyes swept across the faces of several Wu Jinshi from time to time. His bruised and swollen face made him angry, but he was helpless.

These guys can't save me some fun. If it weren't for the long live the comments, time was tight, and they would have to be expelled.

Xu Sanshao squeezed panda eyes from time to time, not to wink, but to feel uncomfortable!

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

The other martial arts and Jinshi were also a little injured, which was lighter than these two guys, but you can tell if you look closely.

One-on-one fight turned into a group fight. If the five-city military personnel had not arrived, these guys would have been even more embarrassed than they are now.

It was originally a very exciting palace examination, but now they are nervous and regretful. Is this a sign of misconduct? Long live to see it, will it not be punished?

The wait was not long, and His Majesty the Emperor came and issued a sacred edict.

Under the leadership of the Ministry of Rites and officials of the Honglu Temple, the Wugongs entered the hall with the inner officials of the promulgation.
