The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

"What does the emperor mean?" Zhu Zaihou was shocked: "Master, do you mean that the emperor wants to build a big prison?"

Gao Gong's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Yes! Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that the reason why Yan Song dared to wipe out the nine great gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, arrested them all, and ruthlessly ransacked their homes, he himself did not have the courage and strength. Even the Ming Dynasty None of my ministers dare to do this! Only the emperor has such power and will to accomplish such a grand event!"

Xu Jie said in a muffled voice: "Even if it is the emperor's intention, Yan Song is clearly pulling up the banner as a tiger skin for his own benefit."

Chapter 383 Gao Gong vs Xu Jie [5]

Gao Gong laughed loudly: "Xu Huating (Xu Jie's hometown is Huating County, so he uses the place name to refer to the person's name, and he is called Xu Huating), it's not me, Gao Gong, who blamed you Jiangnan's big gentry. You have gone too far this time. Yes! Twice plotting to assassinate the emperor, even if the emperor is a native, he will be angry. Right now, Yan Song is just ransacking the house, not killing people, and it is not too much to leave room."

"You tall beard!" Xu Jie was so angry that he stood up abruptly, glared at Gao Gong fiercely, and then said in a muffled voice: "After all, it was only a few people who did it boldly, not all the southeast nobles are rebellious. Yan Song is coming How can you convince the world with a one-pot solution?"

"Convinced by the world?" Gao Gong sneered, took out a thick stack of newspapers from his arms, and threw them to Xu Jie: "Your name as a big dog in the southeast has already stinks on the street. I don't know that the people in the southeast still support you and you. No, anyway, except for the southeast, all other provinces are scolding you big dogs."

Zhu Zaihou, Xu Jie, and Zhang Juzheng picked up those newspapers curiously.

"What is this?" Zhu Zaihou stayed at home, he didn't know about it.

"Newspaper!" Gao Gong said with a smile: "It is said that it was founded by Yan Song. It has a large circulation in the capital and the southeast, and the common people love to read it."

Zhu Zaihou opened the newspaper and saw on the headlines that Yan Song was the editor-in-chief and published in the name of an editorial titled "The Thief of the Country!The big dogs behind the assassination of the emperor! "

After reading this editorial, Zhu Zaihou broke out in a cold sweat, and looked at Xu Jie sympathetically: "This editorial is really bloody. If you are an ordinary southeast person, you will hate Southeast China after reading this editorial." Big dogs. It's really outrageous."

Xu Jie was covered in cold sweat.

Zhang Juzheng also had a bitter look on his face.

They knew that once such an editorial was published in this newspaper with a huge circulation, there would be solid evidence and irrefutable evidence, and it would surely arouse the outrage of the people all over the world.

Your conspiracy to assassinate the emperor will cause chaos in the world, and the people will not be the victims in the end?

Rectifying you big bastards now is not slaughtering the people. Why should the people speak for you?

Zhang Juzheng threw the newspaper on the ground angrily, and cursed: "Who wrote this editorial? The sentences are tricky and the evidence is conclusive. It must be a master!"

"You don't have to ask, it must have been written by Yan Song himself." Xu Jie let out a sigh of frustration: "This guy has already manipulated the newspaper's public opinion!"

Zhang Juzheng frantically flipped through the newspapers one by one: "Is it all Yan Song's arguments? How could no one refute his fallacies?"

Ran and egg.

He read almost all the newspapers brought by Gao Gong, but he was unanimous, and the public opinion fell to Yan Song's side. He bombarded them fiercely, criticizing and criticizing the big southeast dog households for participating in the plot to rebel and assassinate the emperor.The fierce artillery fire, the stern tone, the conclusive evidence, and the titles full of fighting gunpowder are shocking to watch.

"The southeast is overturned, endangering the country!"

"City fox and social mouse, the great thief of the country!"

"Down with the big dog in the southeast! Resolutely support the emperor's thorough investigation and conspiracy!"

As members of the Zhejiang Party and the Chu Party, Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng were dizzy from the bombardment.

Xu Jie said with cold sweat all over his face: "How can these newspapers be published? This is the imperial court's oversight! Once those bastards are allowed to control the newspapers and wantonly attack the imperial court, how can the imperial court have dignity? I suggest that these newspapers must be shut down." !"

Gao Gong sneered and said: "Seizure? How do you seal it? You know, almost all the newspapers in the country were established under Yan Song's behest. I have checked the relationship between the owners of these newspapers. Although they are all scattered, they are controlled by different businessmen. .But the inextricable connections can vaguely point to Yan Song."

The prince, Xu Jie, Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng fell silent together.

The four thought: So, the power of public opinion is so great?However, it was controlled by the bandits. This time they used newspapers, and the gunfire was so fierce that we couldn't hold our heads up. We will also start to run newspapers in the future to fight against the bandits.

Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng had black faces on their faces: "So, behind this is the conspiracy of the traitor Yan Song?"

············

"Yes!" Gao Gong sighed helplessly: "Yan Song is brilliant. He has already used his authority to cast an unbreakable net of public opinion, and how powerful is his influence? You only found out that the weapon of others is already over! "

"Even if the public opinion of those unruly people turns to Yan Song, we still have the public opinion of scholars, officials and scholars!" Xu Jie scolded with his neck stuck: "The world of Ming Dynasty, is it just those petty citizens and mud-legged people talking about it?" Forget it? I am a scholar who controls public opinion, and history is like iron!"

He said to Zhu Zaihou with a murderous look: "Your Highness, no matter what tricks Yan Song plays, it is impossible for Yan Song to win this battle. Please also ask the prince to be the master for us!"

.........

Zhu Zaihou also disagreed with Xing Da Prison, and sighed: "Should I also suggest to the emperor about this matter? Don't get too involved?"

"No, no, no!" Gao Gong sternly said, "Prince, you have to remember that you are the emperor's son first! When the emperor was assassinated, your son must be more angry than the emperor to convince the emperor of your filial piety! You are so angry that you don’t hesitate to set up a big prison! If you dare to say no at this time, prince, I’m afraid the emperor will suspect you!”

"Suspicious Gu?" Zhu Zaihou was stunned: "What did Gu do?"

Gao Gong said in a low voice: "Prince, tell me, if King Yi really succeeds in rebelling and the emperor dies in Chengtian Mansion, who will be the biggest beneficiary?"

Zhu Zaihou was shocked, and pointed to himself.

"Yes!" Gao Gong said coldly: "The emperor is assassinated. Once he dies, you, the prince of Jianguo, will be the biggest beneficiary, and you will be able to ascend the throne immediately! Even if you are loyal to the emperor, you have never had such a strange idea , but if you suggest to relax the investigation of this case at this time, instead of creating a big prison, what does the emperor think of you?"

Zhu Zaihou was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.

What would Jiajing think of him?

Of course it is: "Did you secretly instigate this matter?"

A word sounded in Zhu Zaihou's mind.

"Depose the prince!"

He was sweating profusely, and glanced at Gao Gong gratefully.
