In the Zhou Dynasty, there was usually a saying called: the court has its own public opinion. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info This public opinion is mostly from the famous ministers, the imperial history, and the six branches of the matter, and the public opinion formed is called the public opinion.

This is the height of the temple.

In the distance of the rivers and lakes, there is also a saying called "Shilin has its own public opinion". Most of this kind of public opinion comes from schools. Such as county schools, state schools, government schools, and national schools. In the last twenty or thirty years, the academy has prevailed. To this is the "academy" that has influence in their respective regions.

In the current situation, the public opinion in the court wants to scold Zhang Anbo, the left deputy of the Imperial Palace, to death, and his reputation is scolded. There was a lot of scolding, and the tide was surging.

On the first day of the fifth month, in the early morning, the scholars of Wanping County School, Daxing County School, Shuntianfu School, Guozi Jian Middle School, and Jintai Academy in the capital found that a tabloid newspaper that did not come from nowhere was circulating among their classmates.

In the tabloids, a profound analysis of the recent high-profile prison examination case in the capital. A variety of perspectives are intertwined. There is no shortage of wonderful remarks. What is commendable is that many excerpts of imperial histories and courtiers have been published. For example: Yuan Hao's recital of Yuan Shaoqing.

There is an editor's note at the back: Cover the bad habits of the country because of the sinners. Yuan Shaoqing, the emperor's henchman. As soon as this recital came out, the official of the science and Taoism heard the wind and moved. Speculation is not beyond this generation.

Any reader who reads this editor's note will be disgusted by Yuan Hao and the Kedao Yanguan who followed the trend. It's just a group of flattering officials, without the backbone of a scholar.

In addition, "News from this newspaper: The left waiter of the Criminal Department, Lang Huamo, intends to severely punish the prisoners of Guozi Prison. The recital says: Although they are deceived, they may not be without resentment in their hearts. The wind can't rise! Such prisoners can be expelled from school and exiled for 3,000 miles. ”

commented that the cool demeanor of Hua Shilang can be seen.

"This newspaper news: The famous ministers of the DPRK and the right capital of the imperial government said privately to the staff that the court treats people who are studying how harsh."

"News from this newspaper: This time, the people who uphold the severe punishment of the Guozi prison and the teacher of the Shoushan Academy are: He--Nandao Zhangdao Yu Shi Yu Wenrui, Dali Temple Zuo Shaoqing Zhao Hongyun, Shuntianfu Yin Sunjia, Hanlin Academy Editor Mei Hege...,

Those who asked the imperial court to give leniency to the prisoners and scholars were: Liang Xi, the right Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Hu Yi, the priest of the country..."

After logging in to the articles and news, there were two more editorials in the two tabloids, analyzing the pros and cons from the perspective of severe punishment and not severe punishment.

The editorial that insisted on not punishing the offender severely wrote: Severely punish the troublemakers, it seems that the sea is clear, and the Beijing teacher has nothing to do. However, as long as the Guozijian still exists, as long as there are leaders to agitate, the hot-blooded prisoners who don't know the truth will still follow. Are you a reader who doesn't care about national affairs these days?

Therefore, severe punishment of the leader is the root cause of the cure. It is sufficient for the troublemakers to give a small punishment. Reading a book, the hardships and warmth of people are only self-aware. The imperial court should adopt the attitude of curing the sick and saving people.

As soon as this tabloid came out, it immediately became popular in the capital. The scholars were inclined to punish the first and the rest to be punished. Who doesn't have a bloody time! Crucially, the tabloid indicates who supports and who opposes it, and there are selected passages as evidence.

Praise and disparage characters have always been the favorite of literati. What's more, the materials and targets are at the moment, and they are full of topicality.

Of course, the word "excerpt" is often hidden. Taking things out of context, this kind of thing is not difficult for readers. In particular, the editor-in-chief of the tabloid newspaper has experienced the Internet era of unscrupulous media information bombardment, and only eyes are on the facts.

In this era of no entertainment news, the reviews, opinions, and evidence in the tabloids spread like an irresistible wave.

In the afternoon, the teachings and officials of the county government and the government government all knew. That night, it spread to several well-known brothels in the capital such as the Wufeng Pavilion and the Snow Concubine Pavilion.

The commander of the Jinyi Guard made Mao Kun get the news that night and immediately secretly began to investigate.

The next day, the tabloids began to spread rapidly to the official class through the channels of officials, students, and Qinglou. Nine grades, eight grades, seven grades, six grades, four grades, three grades...

The so-called court public opinion has created a thick atmosphere of public opinion like a dark cloud, which has been torn apart.

…

The night is like water. In the outer study of Mochizuki Residence, the lights were bright, and Jia Huan was writing hard at the desk. Pang Ze and Qiao Rusong each carried their own pens. Each of the three of them had the latest transcript of Jia Huan's transcription from the Department of General Affairs on the examination of the prisoner's case.

The refreshing tea soup has long been lukewarm. New review articles are coming out one after another.

The night will pass, and the day will dawn. The fish-white morning light appeared on the edge of the sky. The dawn is coming.

…

Suddenly, the tabloid newspaper that swept the capital published the second issue, and it continued to sweep the entire capital without accident.

A clerk in the General Administration Department made a statistic. Since the first issue of the tabloid came out, the recital of scolding Zhang Anbo, the left deputy capital, has been missing by 10% for several days, and after the second issue came out, the recital of scolding Zhang Anbo has been reduced by 30%.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, on May 6, Zhang Anbo submitted a self-defense note, stating his consideration for a light punishment for the prisoners. Today, the world is once again bright.

The officials of the Taoist government, the ministers of the central government, and the local officials once again wrote one after another. Engage in heated debates. The topic has shifted from whether to severely punish the prisoners to the reflection of the imperial court's attitude and policies towards scholars, including the prison students and the academy system.

Before the Dragon Boat Festival, it was still the fourth-grade minister and the third-grade waiter who were expressing their positions, and after the Dragon Boat Festival, from the second-grade political envoys, the six Shangshu, and the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate began to show their attitudes.

Experienced courtiers understood that the time for a showdown was approaching. Because, further up is the statement of the scholars.

In the evening, Yuan Hao, the young secretary of Guanglu Temple, dragged his tired steps and came out of the official office. changed out of his official uniform in the sedan chair and went to the alley of the division of the teaching workshop to see his good looks, and the famous prostitute in the capital became Qi'er.

Wang Ba, who was at the door of the embroidery building, greeted Yuan Hao and led him into the door, "Mr. Yuan is here." My girl is looking forward to wearing it these days. ”

Yuan Hao asked the chief to reward a few coins of silver, and went upstairs with a familiar way, through the corridor, the small pavilion, and to the exquisite hall.

Cheng Qi'er dressed up in a new way, ordered the maid to serve wine and food, had a drink with Yuan Hao, and said with a smile: "Lord Yuan has something on his mind today?" ”

Yuan Hao smiled and waved his hand, "I said, you don't understand, let's wait for the master to eat and drink first." He wrote six letters in a row before and after the Dragon Boat Festival, demanding that the prisoners of the country be severely punished. But it did not provoke any reaction in the court. This made him, a popular man in the dynasty and the emperor's confidant, a little lost and a little painful.

It's all that damn tabloid. There are even imperial histories who impeach him according to the words on the chapter, chasing after the wind and shadows, and vainly figuring out his intentions, and he should be questioned.

Jin Yiwei is a eater, and he hasn't found the source of the tabloid yet.

Cheng Qi'er giggled. The sound is like a silver bell. In the summer, she wears thin clothes. Inside the thin shirt, the snow white under the cyan bandeau shook tremblingly, "My Lord Yuan, are you being scolded for being a traitor in the tabloids?" ”

Yuan Hao said strangely: "Where did you start here?" ”

Cheng Qi'er smiled and went to the back room to get a two-open tabloid and came out, "Look at it." ”

Yuan Hao swept the beginning of the tabloid and knew that this was the third issue, and then looked at the bold headline on it: On the self-cultivation of the traitor Yuan Hao. In the article, he scolded: traitorous villains, flattering at every time, catering to slippery beards, forming parties for personal gain, excluding dissidents, and selfishness.

Yuan Hao almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, in the past three years, only he scolded others, how could anyone dare to scold him? Who doesn't know that he is the confidant of the present? Angrily slapping the table, "Fart." Shameless child, blood spurting people..."

Watching the dirty words come out of the mouth of Yuan Hao, who has always paid attention to the decency of officials, Cheng Qi'er regretted taking out this tabloid a little.

Yuan Hao asked with red eyes, "Qi'er, where did you get this tabloid from?" ”

Cheng Qi'er was careful and said softly: "Today, Mr. Longjiang has a banquet at home and gathers the sisters to dance. I took it in his house. ”

Yuan Hao crumpled the tabloid into a ball, gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "Ning Longjiang..."

…

Hour Yongfang, Xie Fuzhong. Xie Xuan, the foreman of the military aircraft, summoned Wang Ziteng and Zhan Shifu Zuo Zhongyun (Zheng Liupin) Xu Cheng at home.

In the room, Xie Xuan was in his sixties, wearing jade-colored civilian clothes, and his demeanor was relaxed. A two-page tabloid was handed to the two of them to circulate. Sipping tea. Time passes slowly.

Seeing that both of them had finished reading it, Xie Xuan asked, "Cheng Yuan, how is the writing of this tabloid?" ”

Xu Cheng, the father of Jia Huan's classmate Xu Yinglang, is not an old-fashioned person in front of the younger generation, he talks and laughs freely. However, in front of his boss, Xu Cheng was silent and effective. Xu Cheng said: "Middle." ”

Xie Xuan laughed, "It's a lot worse than your Hanlin's rhetoric, literature and science." ”

Seeing Xie Xuan's relaxed look, Wang Ziteng suppressed the anxiety in his heart. In fact, he attaches great importance to this tabloid, and it has successfully made the speech in the capital affect the officials in the officialdom. Recently, there has been an increasing number of inmates who agree with Zhang Anbo's lenient punishment.

Wang Ziteng said: "Xie Xiang, is this He Xintai and Zhang Boyu's counterattack?" ”

Xie Xuan smiled and said, "I can't get rid of it." "There are hundreds of rumors in the capital every year. Most of them are rumors that stop at the wise. This in itself is part of the court game. However, if you can use just rumors to create such a big influence, there are capable people under He Xintai and Zhang Boyu!

Wang Ziteng nodded, "What does Xie Xiang mean?" ”

Xu Cheng's expression remained unchanged, and his heart moved. Severe punishment or not, there will be a showdown tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. As the foreman and minister of military aircraft, Xie Xiang must have made a statement to calm the turmoil that swept the entire court.

Xie Xuan chuckled and sighed: "An Shi, the general trend is inviolable!" Yuan Shaoqing's reputation in Shilin was about to be ruined. ”

Wang Ziteng was silent for a while, then sighed softly.

…

On 9 May, the content of the four scholars of the Military Aircraft Department and the emperor in the Wuying Hall spread throughout the imperial court and outside the court in a very short time.

Jinshang agreed to Zhang Anbo's request: severely punish the six prisoners led by Han Jin and Xu Xiucai, and hand over the rest of the prisoners to Guozijian for internal punishment. (To be continued.) )
