"Have you read this confession?" Emperor Chongzhen did not reach out to take it. Instead, he looked down at Luo Yangxing and said, "What is written in it?"

"Your Majesty! I never looked at it!"

Luo Yangxing's body trembled slightly and he said in a panic: "Chen... I was holding the lamp for Yuan Chonghuan when I accidentally glanced twice and saw something, but Chen..."

"Okay, I understand."

Emperor Chongzhen interrupted, took Luo Yangxing's complaint, and said: "There is nothing that cannot be seen. Since it is the scar of my Ming Dynasty, it is best to uncover it."

After saying that, he turned over the confession book in his hand, while Luo Yangxing stood there with his hand down, but did not dare to move at all.

"No one can see through this man's true face unless he is forced into a desperate situation and completely stripped of everything he relies on."

Emperor Chongzhen turned over the confession book in his hand and said with a cold expression: "If a guy like Yuan can be called a loyal and virtuous minister of the Ming Dynasty, then my Ming Dynasty should die as soon as possible."

Luo Yangxing lowered his head, suppressing the surprise in his heart, for fear that the emperor would see it, while Wang Dehua on the side lowered his head and looked at the ground.

"Let's see, Jin Yiwei is responsible for supervising the Yuan case. If you don't understand the whole story, you can't explain it after all."

"I don't dare. I will obey His Majesty's will in everything."

When handling the case of Yuan Chonghuan, Luo Yangxing made up his mind to follow the emperor's will in everything.

Whatever you are told to do, do it.

The Yuan case will inevitably involve many things. With my little ability, if I handle it on my own, the end will be the same as that of Tian Ergen and Xu Xianchun.

"Afraid?"

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Luo Yangxing, who was leaning forward, and stood with his hands behind his back.

"Don't be afraid!"

Luo Yangxing raised his head, intending to let the emperor see the attitude he wanted to express. He immediately knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "The royal guard is your majesty's sword, and I am the one who wipes the blood. I will do whatever your majesty tells me to do."

"

This is a good attitude.

After all, he is a calculating politician.

Knowing that Yuan Chonghuan's case will inevitably involve many forces, especially if he cannot satisfy himself as the emperor, the outcome will probably be bad.

"Wang Dehua, go and hand over the sign prepared earlier to Luo Qing." Emperor Chongzhen, who had calmed down, looked at Wang Dehua and said: "Don't the civil servants in this court like to demonstrate at the Meridian Gate? As for the Yuan case, it started at noon

When we open the door, I will crush their flattery of civil servants on the ground!"

"Here!"

For the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, those who came from the "scholar" class attached great importance to "raising their reputation". Whether their official career could be smooth and whether their clan could prosper all depended on this illusory but real reputation.

This is also why the officials and censors in the court especially like to give advice. With the power of public opinion they hold, they can spread it among the people. Even if the emperor does the right thing, he can still say the black thing is white.

Turn white into black.

"You come in with me."

After glancing at Luo Yangxing, Emperor Chongzhen turned around and said, "It's up to you to copy Yuan's confession and comment on it."

"I accept the decree!"

Luo Yangxing suppressed his doubts and hurriedly answered with his hands raised, then leaned down and followed Emperor Chongzhen towards the Dongnuan Pavilion.

Since you want to plan to control the power of public opinion, it is definitely not possible to completely control it from the beginning. Therefore, you must know how to use the existing rules to occupy a favorable position.

Luo Yangxing lay on the desk, quickly spread out a piece of paper, pressed it with a paperweight, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and kept still.

"Copy down for me the secret relationship between Yuan and Jianlu, and write it in larger characters." Emperor Chongzhen took the paper he pulled out, took it to Luo Yangxing, and said with an indifferent expression.

"Here!"

Luo Yangxing hurriedly bowed and nodded, and then copied it with concentration. In Yuan Chonghuan's confession, he only wrote a few lines about the contact with Jianlu, so Luo Yangxing finished it quickly.

Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Luo Yangxing, and while thinking about it, he said: "Yuan Anming's intention to make peace has long been obvious about his liaison with Jianlu.

Since the Tianqi Dynasty came out to control Liaodong, Yuan has seen where Jianlu was strong and where the problems of the Ming Dynasty were. However, burdened by his fame, he kept these deep in his heart.

Yuan's fame is based on his victory at Ningyuan and his victory at Ningjin. However, only a few people know the truth about these two great victories that are known to the whole world.

Yuan is one of them!

At the beginning of my imperial reign, influenced by the recommendation of the courtiers, I specially ordered Yuan Taiping to call for the right, and the theory of the five years of peace and Liao was touted here..."

Emperor Chongzhen spoke very fast, and Luo Yangxing wrote uneasily, not daring to hesitate at all. He just followed what the emperor said and after he wrote them out one by one, there was nothing else in his heart except shock.

According to Luo Yangxing's political acumen, he could imagine that the first crime cited in the emperor's review of Yuan Zhi's accusation would definitely cause an uproar once it was seen by civil servants from other dynasties.

"... In the second year of Chongzhen, Yuan and Taiji, the chief of the Jianlu slaves, secretly communicated with each other more than ten times. During this period, there was even an incident of killing Mao Wenlong without permission. Don't think that the imperial court didn't know about what Liaodong did. Although the Jinyiwei was restrained

, but it’s not just a decoration! The peace between Yuan and Jianlu..."

While writing this, Luo Yangxing's heart trembled, his eyes rolled, and he secretly wondered in his heart, could it be that the Jin Yiwei at that time was under the control of the emperor?

That……

"Has it been written?"

Just as Luo Yangxing was thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen's cold voice sounded, "After writing it, select a group of royal guards to post this big-character poster outside the Meridian Gate and protect me, and ask the civil servants to

Tell the civil servants in the court to take a good look at it!"

Luo Yangxing, who was feeling nervous, hurriedly finished writing the last few words, and then said: "I have finished writing, I will take care of this matter immediately!"

If you are playing with public opinion, let's see who has better means.

As soon as the big-character poster is posted, no matter who you are, just wait to start a debate. Those stored documents are just there, and I don't want you to be able to explain it yourself.

Looking at Luo Yangxing who was leaving in a hurry, Emperor Chongzhen who was standing with his hands behind his back showed a smile. Since he was slapping the civil servants in the face, he had to use the methods commonly used by the civil servants.

The Yuan case targets pragmatic and corrupt officials. Other officials who were not involved in the matter will not be affected at all. It is bad and wrong to have an undifferentiated civil servant group.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen never thought of ending up personally and coming to play a direct game with the pro-Yuan faction in the court. This would undermine the dignity of the emperor. He hidden behind the scenes to mobilize public opinion and raise doubts among the government and the public. This was what Emperor Chongzhen wanted.
