Section 435 Propaganda and Conflict

Yaoren's surrender instantly surpassed the first round of examinations that had just been completed and became the hottest topic in Chang'an City. ∽↗

The banner party members were sitting in the wine shop, drinking wine and patting their chests: "You know, you know, this surrender of Yi people is a secret move played by the Holy Emperor. The Holy Emperor knew that there was a traitor in the back of the North Korean Wei family's head.

Therefore, I secretly ordered Peng Wu, the captain of the eastern Liao Dynasty, to communicate with Jun Jun secretly, promising to be righteous, and Jun Jun actually brought order to the chaos, raised his clan to the territory, cut off the communication between North Korea and the Xiongnu, and made North Korea a turtle in the urn!"

"Korea's destruction can be expected!"

These people have great eloquence, and their voices are very loud when they talk.

What's more important is that the words that came out of their mouths were secret exchanges between Yiren and the northern captain, and they were also secret contacts between the imperial court and the imperial court.

Who among ordinary people knows this? Who understands this?

I was immediately excited by what they said, and a sense of honor as a citizen of the Heavenly Kingdom arose spontaneously.

In particular, the people in Guanzhong were mostly angry young people. After hearing these arguments, everyone was excited and said, "Sir, you are right. How dare North Korea, a small country like China, offend China?"

At this time, another big-flag party stepped forward at the right time and added a handful of firewood to the fire.

He pretended to be mysterious, but he said very loudly: "You don't know, I have a nephew's friend's cousin who works in the palace. It is said that when the Koreans attacked and killed the Eastern Commander Chenggong, the Holy Emperor went into a rage.

Angry, he said to his left and right: Anyone who dares to offend a strong man will be punished no matter how far away he is! He also said: If North Korea commits many unjust acts, he will die! As expected, Jun Yi will do whatever he wants, and North Korea will suffer the consequences! As soon as Master Wang arrives, I am afraid that the whole country will be shocked.

Become a fan!"

China has had the deep-rooted idea that the emperor must be good since ancient times.

Ordinary people usually don't think too much about it.

Therefore, these words immediately aroused the applause of countless people.

At the right time, someone else encouraged: "I think the soldiers and generals who went into battle this time to attack North Korea are going to make a fortune! Think about it, everyone, during the Wu-Chu Rebellion last year, those soldiers who went out to fight didn't carry a lot of money.

With the property back, as for the generals and ministers, they have made a lot of money..."

At this moment, the common people's chests suddenly began to boil.

The people of Guanzhong have been China's best source of soldiers since the Qin Dynasty.

Moreover, the level of enthusiasm and bellicosity for war far exceeds that of any other region.

Because people in Guanzhong know that fighting can bring benefits.

During the Qin Dynasty, for a soldier who had made a meritorious service, a matchmaker would immediately come to his door to act as a matchmaker. Businessmen would present gifts, and the officials would be extremely respectful.

Since the Han Dynasty, although it is not as good as the Qin Dynasty.

However, the pensions and rewards for soldiers have not been reduced.

Therefore, the Han people have no idea that a good man should not be a soldier or a good man should not make nails.

Quite the contrary. In this era when the civil service group has not yet begun to rule, the only unrestricted way for the people at the bottom to rise is through war, meritorious service, and the conferment of titles, officials, and residences.

Although North Korea is poor and remote, it is still a country, and there must be decades of savings in the capital.

As long as the capital of North Korea is destroyed, that's not...

"No, I have to go home and ask the adults in my family to tell me that I want to be a soldier too!" At that moment, many people had their thoughts in mind.

The farmers in the north are not the farmers in the inland Qilu area.

Farmers in the north undergo a month of military training every winter to master basic military and organizational skills.

Then, every man must serve two years of compulsory military service after he turns twenty-three, one year as an intern in the Northern and Southern armies in Chang'an, and one year as a guard in the border counties.

In other words, in the north, any farmer over the age of twenty-five can basically be dragged out if there is a war, put on armor and pick up weapons, and he is a qualified soldier.

Perhaps, in some counties, this system may have been relaxed a little.

But in Guanzhong, this system is still strictly enforced to this day.

Because the Liu family has always built Guanzhong as its final base camp and base.

Of course, not everyone in this world likes war.

There are always some inappropriate sounds that I want to make.

In the wine shop, a man in Confucian uniform looked at all this and frowned.

"How can this be so? The people in Guanzhong do not practice benevolence and righteousness, do not use morality, and instead threaten them with force. The etiquette and music are really broken, and the hearts of the people are not the same as before!" The man thought in his heart, and felt a lot of irritation in his chest.

I think he traveled thousands of miles and came to Chang'an, hoping to make progress through articles, morals and etiquette.

But in the end, when he entered the examination room, he was shocked to find that the examination did not test articles, nor did it test benevolence and righteousness. The whole article was either asking boring questions, or asking about arithmetic or messy trivial matters.

In his eyes, the examination should have been to select talents for the country, to select the kind of prime minister who can govern the country, have perfect personality and morality, but it has become a banquet for the lowly people, a group of mud-legged and nouveau riche.

After a few days of reading, Si Chen suddenly wanted to become an official!

My uncle can bear it, but my aunt can't either!

Many of his friends commented: If things continue like this, the country will no longer be a country!

He had been holding back his anger, but now when he met the people in Guanzhong, for the sake of money and development, they actively participated and served the country one by one.

The anger in my heart could no longer be restrained.

From a young age, the education he received told him: soldiers are weapons, and saints have to do it as a last resort.

Countless elders also told him: Using violence to control violence and showing off the bravery of an ordinary man will not last long (such as the violence against the Qin Dynasty). Only by spreading benevolence and righteousness and educating the barbarians with morality can long-term peace and stability be achieved.

Even what his elders say every day is: repaying evil with kindness is the way of a gentleman.

At this moment, when I saw the mud-legged people, they all clamored for war and killed all the Koreans.

He couldn't bear it anymore.

How can you shout so loudly against North Korea?

Are you worthy?

Are the major national affairs, the military, the state and the temple matters something you can discuss?

What a breakdown in etiquette!

People’s hearts are not as old as they used to be!

He stood up in a hurry. He did not go well in the examination and was ridiculed by scholars from other schools. In particular, even some factions belonging to Confucianism were viewed with suspicion, as well as the Chang'an nobles and powerful people.

Chasing those Huang Lao, Legalist scholars, and showing disdain for scholars like him who came from Lu, the Holy Land of Confucianism - even the Mohists were riding on it to show off their power!

Today, a special space was even set aside for the Mo family in Shanglinyuan...

All these past unhappiness, embarrassment, and depression were suddenly vented like a volcano erupting at this moment.

In other words, in the past, he couldn't defeat the Mohists, and he couldn't defeat the Legalists. As for the Huang-Lao sect? It was either a second-generation official or a second-generation noble, and he couldn't handle it.

As for the common people, especially in this wine shop, when most of the people belonged to Qian Shou, he finally found an opportunity to explode.

"What nonsense!" He said loudly: "What would the Holy Emperor An say: 'Anyone who dares to offend my strong men will be punished no matter how far away'. You know, you man, lying about the Holy Word is a capital crime!"

"

In terms of rhetoric and strength alone. As long as you don't talk about reality and just stick to theory. When you fight air against air, you are a Legalist in this world. You must also be willing to be defeated in front of Lu Ru.

This man is obviously very proficient in these verbal skills. As soon as he opens his mouth, he will slap him with a big hat.

Anyway, in his opinion, how could ordinary people know such secrets about the palace ban?

And even if what that person said is indeed true, who can prove it to him?

As long as no one can prove it to him, then he is just pretending!

False edicts are a grave sin among the three clans!

At that time, Zhihou Bo Zhao and his great uncle were forced to commit suicide because of the imperial edict!

According to common sense, he was right to do so.

At the beginning, the people in the wine shop were indeed frightened.

but……

He forgot that this is Guanzhong, Chang'an, and at the feet of the Emperor!

Here, the Liu family has densely deployed spies to manipulate public opinion. Especially since the new emperor came to the throne, he has paid special attention to manipulating public opinion and propaganda. The funds allocated for propaganda alone are almost equivalent to the expenses of the Jiuqing-level yamen in the past.

.

Not to mention, the person in charge of publicity work is Sima Xiangru, a close minister of the emperor, but in fact, it is Wang Dao, a close minister of the emperor, who is in charge of propaganda work.

In the past few months, Wang Dao, following Liu Che's orders, has recruited a large number of unemployed vagrants and knights to carry out relevant propaganda and mobilization.

And the three big banner members in this wine shop today are undoubtedly Xuanxuan who have been co-opted.

If in the Chinese dynasty, people like this kind of minions who are bribed with money and work for the government would be called 50 cents, also known as the Zhao family with the surname Zhao.

If you are a street rat, no matter whether you are a leftist or a rightist, if you find out, you will definitely be scolded, although the arguments they target are different...

But now, this job belongs to the minions of the country, the eagles and dogs of the Tian family, and they are not good enough!

These people who were recruited were formerly jobless vagrants and knights-errants. They were the kind of unruly people who least obeyed the social order.

These people have a characteristic: they don’t believe in words, they only believe in fists!

"What did you say?" The man who had previously boasted that his nephew's cousin was from the palace suddenly stood up, stretched his muscles, and cursed: "How dare you insult me? I want you to know that I am not easy to mess with.

of!"

He rolled up his sleeves and approached the man in Confucian attire with a ferocious smile. He was seven feet tall and slapped him like a cattail leaf fan, crushing him like a big mountain in an instant.

What else is there to say about the Ranger's work?

If you don't agree, start a fight. This is the essence of a ranger!

Bang bang bang!

Immediately, the only sounds in the wine shop were the sound of human bodies being smashed to the ground and the wailing of the man in Confucian uniform.

After a quarter of an hour, the ranger probably felt that he had beaten enough, or was worried about killing someone, so he let go and spat at the man whose nose and face were bruised and swollen by him, and said: "You are lucky this time, I am

I have studied recently and become more reasonable. Before I changed my mind, I would have stabbed you with a sword!"

The man in Confucian uniform looked at the other person, and his intuition told him that the other person was not lying, what he said was true!

If it were before, he would definitely kill someone!

Moreover, the other party's nonchalant expression proved that he had indeed killed someone before...

Immediately, the man in Confucian uniform was so frightened that he peed...

I really peed!

My crotch was completely wet!

"Hahaha..." When the ranger saw all this, he laughed: "I finally know why Emperor Gao hated you guys back then. You were timid, and you had no guts. You didn't have any strength, but you just liked to chirp.

.It’s strange that people like you don’t cause trouble!”

The people in the wine shop also laughed.

Looking down on Confucian scholars, especially those in the Qilu area, is a common problem among Guanzhong people!

It is also the tradition of Guanzhong people.

The man in Confucian uniform lowered his head when he heard this.

The other party poked his sore spot!

At that time, Emperor Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, did not simply hate Confucian scholars.

He absolutely hated Confucian scholars, even to the core of his being.

One time, Liu Bang met a Confucian scholar on the road and kicked him into the mud in the field. He also took off the scholar's hat and peed on his hat.

Liu Bang even once said publicly: Confucian scholars are either rotten Confucians or arrogant scholars.

This sentence dealt a fatal blow to Confucianism.

To this day, when people in Guanzhong see people wearing Confucian crowns and Confucian robes, even if they don't say it, they will curse in their hearts: Corrupt Confucians!

When seeing a Confucian scholar being beaten, most people in Guanzhong would take pleasure in his misfortune. If the Confucian scholar committed suicide himself, they would be even more happy to hear it.

Therefore, even though the Confucian scholar was beaten for a quarter of an hour in the wine shop, and even though there were soldiers patrolling outside the door, no one helped to call the soldiers to intervene, let alone report the crime.

The man in Confucian uniform bit his lip and said to himself: A good man will not suffer the consequences of his immediate appearance.

Then with the corner of his eye, he glanced at the patrolling soldiers outside the door.

When he thinks about it, he can immediately go out and find the government to arrest him. It should be possible.

"It is a serious crime to forge an imperial edict, and you are doomed!" The Confucian scholar thought fiercely in his heart. Then he picked up his Confucian crown that was scattered on the ground, and ran out of the wine shop as if running for his life. He ran towards a guard patrolling the road.

Seeing the Han soldiers in black robes, the Confucian scholar burst into tears and shouted as if he were seeing his relatives: "I want to report to the official, I want to report to the official, and just now someone was falsifying the imperial edict in this wine shop and beating me!"

As soon as these soldiers heard the word "Jiao Zhao", they immediately drew their weapons as if they had been given blood. The leading officer looked at the Confucian scholar and said very seriously: "Lead the way!"

In the Han Dynasty, no matter what the reason or whoever was, as long as the word Jiao Zhao was associated with it, it was a dead word.

Correspondingly, officials and military officers who catch the criminals who are trying to make an imperial edict can immediately achieve great achievements. It is wishful thinking to be granted the title of marquis, but promotion is certain!

…………………………

When night fell, Liu Che encountered something troublesome.

Within one day, more than 30 incidents that were suspected of "falsifying imperial edicts" occurred in Chang'an City, and more than 100 fights broke out, and three people died.

Wu Guan Zhonglang, the general of the Yamen, did not dare to neglect, and immediately reported these matters to Liu Che.

After Liu Che read the memorial, he naturally knew that no one was trying to make an edict, and that these things were all propaganda work arranged by Wang Dao.

Moreover, Wugan Zhonglang's Yamen also verified the identities of those who beat people. They were all secret agents and had identity talismans and records.

If no one died, this matter would be forgotten.

But the key is that people are dead!

And those who died were all Confucian scholars from the Qilu area!

This can be considered as poking a hornet's nest...

Any political faction will stick together to keep warm, and those who share the same party will fight against those who are different, especially among Confucians.

Moreover, the deceased was from the Qilu area, and he was a member of the Lu-Ru lineage who were famous for their throwing and rolling.

So the problem is serious.

Don't say that the Lu-Ru faction has no influence.

Indeed, there were few people in their court.

At most, he will only be Yan Yi if he is exhausted.

However, just like the public intellectuals of later generations, the Lu-Confucian faction has a huge influence on public opinion, especially in the Qilu-Wuchu area, the Lu-Confucian faction has a great influence!

For example, Duke Shen of Lu had peaches and plums all over the world, and his disciples even had disciples of princes and kings!

For example, Liu Wu died in Chang'an last year!

Moreover, if we talk about the relationship, even Chao Cuo actually had some close relationship with the Lu and Confucian scholars - the starting point of Chao Cuo's official career was when the emperor's envoy visited Fu Sheng, the successor of Shangshu, and Fu Sheng taught Chao Cuo "Shangshu"

, this allowed Chao Cuo to stand out.

In addition to these, current Zongzheng Liu Li, Honghou Liu Fu, and current Zhonglang General Wei Wan can all be related to Lu Ru.

In addition, even if these people do not speak for Lu Ru, Liu Che must treat this matter carefully.

Otherwise, the aristocrats and literati in the Qilu area may be tempted to take action again.

If this matter is not handled well, it will turn into a conflict between the North and the South.

That’s trouble!

Historically, once regional conflicts intensify, people will turn against them, and sometimes the country even has to give special treatment to certain regions.

For example, in the later Ming Dynasty, there was a famous division of the imperial examination between the north and the south.

Liu Che looked at the memorial, thought about it for a moment, and then made up his mind, picked up his pen and wrote on the memorial: Emperor Gao made a decree: murderers should die, injuries and thefts should be punished, and false accusations and imprisonments, Confucian scholars insulting others, among the three generations of his masters and disciples' families.

People are not allowed to take exams for three years.

This is called playing fifty big boards each.

Killing must be paid with life. This is the core spirit of Han law. No matter what the reason, as long as the murder is intentional, the deceased must be given an explanation.

Liu Che is also unwilling to undermine the core of this legislation.

Otherwise, today, the knights can claim that they are the emperor's spies and are not guilty of murder, but tomorrow, the princes' sons will dare to ride their horses and kill civilians in the street.

This hole cannot be opened!

However, if the Lu Ru people thought that Liu Che would surrender to them, then they would be totally wrong!

The pen is nothing!

The barrel of a gun is king!

With Qilu's group of weak Confucian scholars, Liu Che was sure that they would never dare to complain about his decision.

If they are not convinced, Liu Che will convince them!

Historically, Confucian scholars in the Qilu area were notoriously poor people.

Wu Huanhua, today they are with this master, and tomorrow they will kneel at the feet of another master.

When the Mongolian Yuan invaded, the Kong family in Qufu, Shandong Province immediately came to the table to congratulate the Mongol Khan on long live the Mongolian Khan.

By the way, they kicked the Song Dynasty, which was not weak against them, to the Kingdom of Java.

Zhu Yuanzhang conquered the world, and these guys immediately kowtowed.

When the Manchus entered the customs, they were the first to take the lead in shaving their heads.

Even when the Japanese came, they still knelt and licked...

Liu Che has figured out the three tricks of these soft-footed shrimps. They are nothing more than crying, making trouble, and hanging themselves. If these three tricks don't work, they will definitely admit their mistakes immediately. If the rulers show a hint of a tough attitude, then they will immediately

Kneel down and say long live the emperor three times.

And this is not only a fact proven by later generations, it is also proven by history today.

If Lu Ru had backbone, then Chinese male pigs could win the World Cup! (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
