"Your Majesty, this matter will be taken care of by the villain! I will report to you every day, and you will know the villain's methods!"
In the garden, Wang Yangguang swept away his fear when he was taken away by the Jin Yiwei, and put on a flattering and proud expression. In front of him was Zhu Ling, and he was surrounded by court ministers. It's no wonder that he has never been a stranger.
A high-ranking businessman has become a low-ranking official, and now he acts directly on orders.
Such an opportunity is naturally not something that ordinary people can encounter, so he is naturally very happy. If His Majesty were not here, I am afraid he would jump up with joy.
"It seems that you are very confident." After telling him, seeing how confident he was, Zhu Ling was a little worried. Can such a wanderer really achieve anything?
After hearing this, Wang Yangguang not only did not feel discouraged, but his tone became more firm. He said: "Your Majesty, how do you say this? Yes, military order! I would like to issue a military order to your majesty. If this villain can't do this, what will your majesty do?
It’s okay to deal with villains!”
Seeing this, people like Wang Jiayan and Huang Bo laughed loudly in front of everyone. This Wang Yangguang was also an honest man. Not only did he give a guarantee, but he even produced a military order. He seemed to have great confidence. Maybe this is the case.
People really have some great skills in this area!
"Wang Yangguang, don't rush to issue military orders. I ask you, why are you so confident?" Wang Jiayan couldn't help but ask. After all, a group of ministers have been in the officialdom for many years, and they may not have this kind of confidence. He is a dandy.
Young Master is actually even more powerful than them.
"It's not a little blow!"
Speaking of this, Wang Yangguang suddenly became energetic. After hurriedly getting up from the ground, he said happily: "Although I don't have any talents, I just make a lot of friends and love to listen to plays. I got to know many famous actors over and over again.
There are also many friends who like to listen to operas! Speaking of storytelling, my father often took me to listen to it when I was young. Gradually, I got to know a lot of people. I thought they were all useless, but I didn’t expect that today
I can share the worries of His Majesty and the imperial court."
"Not to mention anything else, if you do well, I will give you a sixth-grade official! A real job." Seeing Wang Yangguang like this, Zhu Ling felt relieved for some reason. Maybe sometimes, this little man is indeed
It can play a big role.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
At this moment, Wang Yangguang suddenly had tears in his eyes!
…
When most of the things were settled, everyone also felt an inexplicable lack of energy. Maybe it was because the things in the past few days were too complicated, or maybe it was because of the pressure to revive the Ming Dynasty, not many people slept well. Especially especially
Since His Majesty established the Information Department and ordered King Yangang to sing operas and storytellers, reviving the Ming Dynasty was the second step.
next day
I don’t know how Wang Chengen used the five hundred thousand taels of silver. In short, he suddenly had hundreds of subordinates in one day, and requisitioned a corrupt official’s house in Yanzhou Prefecture as the office of the Information Department. In the afternoon of the second day
Then construction started, and several departments including the copying department and the editing department were set up.
Perhaps the consequences of his previous indecisiveness alerted Wang Chengen.
This time he was quite ruthless. Whenever Meng Zhangming's and Fan Xianchao's cavalry battalions went to sweep away bandits, Wang Chengen would follow him and directly inspect the local officials and various people with lofty ideals. Once they encountered any unruly situation
If he cooperated, the Jin Yiwei behind him put the knife directly to his neck.
In this way, within three days, various news from the three counties had been sorted out. On another day, Shang Yu issued an order, requiring Wang Chengen's Information Department to immediately sort out the humiliating peace talks with the intruders that day, and then to Later, he won the victory in the field battle outside the city, capturing alive the intruder Ruhou Liu Zongmin. He also wiped out 10,000 intruder cavalry and defeated 20,000 intruders outside Cangzhou City.
All kinds of good news were printed and copied. Looking at the exciting news, everyone was filled with enthusiasm. For a moment, they couldn't help but feel that there was still hope for the revival of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Ling did not hesitate and directly ordered Wang Chengen to post these printed newspapers in Yanzhou Prefecture and several surrounding prefectures and counties to see what the effect was. If the effect was significant, he would set up an Information Department in Nanjing when the situation stabilized slightly. By dividing the division and spreading it quickly to the southern provinces, it can win victory in terms of public opinion and psychology.
Wang Yangguang is also making rapid progress. Although Zhu Ling has never summoned him, the Jin Yiwei who relies on Wang Guoxing every day is watching his daily behavior. What was sung today and what kind of reaction the onlookers had. .What have we prepared for tomorrow? What did the spectators say?
These Jinyiwei are all recorded in the records, and sometimes the Jinyiwei even don't know each other, so the things recorded are naturally more credible.
"On the afternoon of the day before yesterday, Wang Yangguang organized a play called "The Liaodong Massacre" for free, and invited famous actors. There were not many people in the first few performances, but in the evening, the number of people suddenly filled up. The entire theater was filled with people who saw it crying, condemning and scolding the slaves."
"At the end of the afternoon yesterday, another play was organized for "The Traitor". The protagonist was none other than Hong Chengchou. Something happened during the play. Halfway through the song, some spectators were so fascinated that they picked up things and smashed them. He hit the actor playing Hong Chengchou on the stage. Fortunately, he dodged in time and the man was also caught by me."
"This just shows that this scene is really well sung, allowing the spectators to integrate themselves into it." After listening to this, Zhu Ling couldn't help but sigh that Wang Yangguang does have good abilities in this aspect. If it continues like this, he will indeed have a lot of potential. Not a small effect.
"Where did he get the money? I didn't give him any money. He probably doesn't have a few hundred taels on him."
"That day, he begged me for mercy and asked if he could be given two royal guards to help him. He said it was convenient. It was already late at night and His Majesty was asleep. I didn't dare to disturb His Majesty. The matter was also a trivial matter, so I agreed. I was afraid that this would happen. Wang Yangguang asked these two Xiaoqi to threaten those famous figures." Wang Guoxing recalled Wang Yangguang that day and guessed.
"Tell him, if he doesn't have money, come to me to get some, and don't threaten others. It's a matter of mutual consent. Wouldn't this be discrediting me and the court?" Zhu Ling was a little unhappy when he heard this. This Wang Yangguang He really doesn't dare to do anything.
"I will send someone to warn him soon."
"So, is there any reaction from the storyteller side?" Zhu Ling continued to ask, changing the subject.
"He found a total of three storytellers and told stories in several places in Yanzhou Prefecture. However, the three storytellers all talked about the same content for two days. They were all talking about the bad things that the intruders had done in various places. However, Obviously, Wang Yangguang didn't know much about it, so what these storytellers said was relatively dry and did not arouse any major response."
Wang Guoxing raised his hands to each other, his eyes changing constantly.
"There's no rush." Zhu Ling was open-minded and indifferent, and said softly: "Let him go to the Information Department to walk around more and ask Wang Chengen. After all, it is an agency that releases news. Jin Yiwei is responsible for supervising and investigating, while they
Just by collecting local news, the two organizations can already grasp the world's news."
"According to the decree."
"I have something to report to Your Majesty."
"explain."
"Yesterday, people sent by Wang Gonggong's Information Department to Teng County and Hao County in Yanzhou Prefecture were directly blocked and robbed, and they were only let back. The newspapers they brought were also burned and thrown away. These people are really lawless. Then
The people told the bandits that this was an order from the imperial court that was issued to all states and counties. Unexpectedly, the bandits got angry and almost killed him."
After Wang Guoxing said this, there was murderous intent in his eyes. These thieves were so bold and so arrogant! Even the people from the court dared to stop them. They clearly had the intention of rebellion!
"You mean Teng County?" Hearing this, Zhu Ling suddenly remembered something.
"Exactly."
"I seem to remember who told me before that there is a group of bandits in Teng County near Yanzhou Prefecture. This group of bandits is extremely arrogant and has even attacked the local government offices many times. There are even many bandits' base camps in the surrounding mountains.
, it seems we have encountered this group of bandits."
When I think of Teng County, I naturally remember that someone mentioned before that the security problem here is very serious. Liu Junxue, a famous person in Jiaxiang County, even recruited and trained a group of more than 30,000 volunteers during the Jiannu attack.
At that time, he also laughed at himself and said that the soldiers of the imperial court were not as good as a local celebrity.
It seems that if the imperial court is to resume its rule over Shandong, these bandits must be dealt with.
"Summon Meng Zhangming, Fan Xianchao and Sima Jingru to come here. I have something to discuss with them. Wang Jiayan should come too."
