Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 471: Not the first one! I am so angry! (Please subscribe!!)

"Yes!"

Ouyang Lun and Zhu Biao agreed immediately.

Li Shanchang and other ministers bowed, "Your Majesty is wise!"

"Go away."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

Ouyang Lun immediately ran away, and Zhu Biao quickly chased after him.

Other ministers also left the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Li Shanchang was the last one to leave. He turned around and took two steps, then came back and said, "Your Majesty, it's not a good thing that you are so tolerant of Prince Consort Ouyang!"

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Li Shanchang and said, "I won't forgive him, so you will do it?"

Forehead.
"My farewell."

Li Shanchang left in a hurry. He didn't dare to take this job. The experience in the four southern provinces had become a shadow in his life, which almost made him retire. If it happened again, he probably would never come back.

After Li Shanchang left, Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment and said, "Ji Gang."

"The end will be here."

Ji Gang walked out from the corner.

"Did you hear what Ouyang Lun said just now?"

"Yes."

"From now on, you must keep a close eye on me. No matter what Ouyang Lun does or says, you must report it to me in detail!"

"Yes."

"Go down."

"Yes."

Ji Gang responded expressionlessly, bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang, and slowly left the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony fell silent once again.

"Wang Zhong."

"The minister is here."

"Do you think it is right or wrong for me to let Ouyang Lun do this?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty's decision is naturally the most correct. I believe that with the intervention of Prince Consort Ouyang, the problems caused by the Confucian school will be resolved soon." Wang Zhong said, bowing.

"You are good at talking." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, and then suddenly asked in a deep voice: "But what if Ouyang Lun really messes up!"

"Hasn't Your Majesty already asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come along and handle the matter, and also asked Commander Ji to keep an eye on it secretly? Even if Prince Consort Ouyang did something wrong, I believe Your Majesty would be able to correct it in time." Wang Zhong spoke again.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "That's right, why should I worry? As long as I am still here, no one can stir up trouble!"

At this time, Wang Zhong seemed to have thought of something and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that today is the time when the Queen is hosting a palace square dance competition."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized and slapped his thigh fiercely, "Oh, I was so busy caring about being angry that I forgot about this. Let's go to Kunning Palace now, I hope we can make it in time!"

After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately stood up from the dragon throne and trotted out of the palace.

"Your Majesty, please slow down! Don't fall!"

"My Lord!"

Wang Zhong shouted and ran out.

With the end of the discussion in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Ouyang Lun became the person in charge of resolving the Confucian incident and had the power to make decisions on the matter.

Of course, given Ouyang Lun's habit, he would definitely not do this personally.

For this purpose, he called Zhu Biao and Mao Youde. Mao Youde was already the head of the State-owned Assets Management Department of the Ministry of Revenue. To put it bluntly, he was the boss of all state-owned enterprises in the Ming Dynasty, and it went without saying that Zhu Biao was the crown prince.

A prince, the boss of a state-owned enterprise, and a prince consort, the three of them formed the highest decision-making group to deal with Confucianism events.

Ouyang Lun is responsible for remote control command.

Zhu Biao is responsible for the front.

Mao Youde is responsible for implementation.

On the shore of the Zongrenfu artificial lake.

"Mao Youde, what is the current situation of the newspaper industry in Ming Dynasty? Tell me and the prince about it."

Ouyang Lun was lying on a rocking chair, holding a fishing rod in his hand, his eyes fixed on the lake, and he asked.

Mao Youde, who was stirring the fish food, immediately stopped what he was doing and said, "Your Highness, over the past year or so, all newspaper companies, including the People's Daily of the Ming Dynasty, have been developing steadily in strict accordance with your instructions. In the early days, we were limited by our small scale, high costs, and small audience, so we developed slowly. But with our continued investment and training of corresponding talents, we have seen the emergence of political commentators, experts, journalists, and editors."

"In addition, it has been realized that each province, state capital and county has its own official newspaper, and the printing equipment is constantly being improved and supplemented!"

"It can be said that as long as you give the order, we can immediately launch a public opinion offensive against Confucianism!"

Mao Youde's words were full of pride.

The most excited person to hear Mao Youde's words was Crown Prince Zhu Biao, "Brother-in-law Ouyang, you really demonstrated what it means to raise troops for a thousand days and deploy them for a moment!"

"Although I knew you had set up a newspaper trading company a long time ago, I never thought you would develop the newspaper so well!"

"What I saw was not a newspaper, but a well-trained and well-equipped army!"

Crown Prince Zhu Biao could only see Ouyang Lun's back now, but his eyes were full of admiration.

Ouyang Lun waved his hand and said, "Brother-in-law, please stop praising me now. We still have to think about what to do next!"

"I called you two here to discuss this matter."

Mao Youde immediately bowed and said, "If the Prince Consort wants me to do anything, just give the order."

Zhu Biao also patted his chest and said, "Brother-in-law, my father asked me to assist you. I am ready to do a great job!"

"Very good!" Ouyang Lun nodded. "This is the plan and task I have drawn up for you. You two just need to act according to this plan."

As he spoke, Ouyang Lun took out two booklets and threw them to the two of them.

After receiving the booklet, Zhu Biao and Mao Youde couldn't wait to read it, and both were shocked after reading it.

"The above method is too perfect."

"It has to be the Prince Consort!"

"Wait, brother-in-law, all these things are done by Lord Mao and I, so what are you doing?" Zhu Biao noticed something was wrong and asked immediately.

"Me? I can only wait for you patiently! Don't worry that I will be bored, I will be fishing here and waiting for your good news." Ouyang Lun said with a smile.

Forehead.
After hearing what Ouyang Lun said, Zhu Biao and Mao Youde's faces turned dark. You are still fishing at such a critical moment, you have such a big heart!
However, the two of them knew Ouyang Lun quite well and knew that this was no joke.

"I have confidence in you two. You will definitely be able to handle this matter. Besides, I have already written down the detailed plan for you. Just act according to the plan." "Don't be unconvinced. The solution was my idea. How can I let the military advisor charge into battle?"

"Okay, let's get to work, otherwise the Confucian school will cause chaos in the Ming Dynasty!"

"Yes!"

"Oh!"

Faced with Ouyang Lun's urging, Mao Youde and Zhu Biao looked at each other and could only nod helplessly.

But after thinking about it carefully, I feel that what Ouyang Lun said is right. Ouyang Lun comes up with the solution and they put in the effort. This is very reasonable!

Zhu Biao and Mao Youde were both men of action, and with the guidance of the plan formulated by Ouyang Lun, a public opinion war against Confucianism quietly began.

As the order was issued, newspapers from the People's Daily of the Ming Dynasty to small local county newspapers all began to take action. Some articles exposing the true face of Confucianism began to appear, and the number was gradually increasing. However, Confucianism was completely unaware of this.

time passes day by day
Three days later.

There were many newspapers placed on Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon table, and Zhu Yuanzhang himself was holding one of the newspapers and reading it carefully.

"Reveal the true face of Confucianism!"

"Shocked! It turns out that this is the true purpose of Confucianism!"

"Investigate the great scholar Li Dongyang."

"The so-called great scholar is nothing but a fraud who steals the reputation!"

"You regard Confucianism as your benefactor, and Confucianism regards you as a human shield!"

"Haha, the titles of these articles are really eye-catching! Without reading the content, just looking at the title, I have lost my favor for Confucianism!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

"Ouyang Lun is really capable!"

"If they continue like this, it won't be long before the people are against them!"

"Those Confucians probably won't understand how they lost until they die."

Zhu Yuanzhang was quite satisfied with the contents of these newspapers. As a commoner, he knew very well that as long as the common people read the contents of these newspapers, they would naturally understand the conspiracy of the Confucian school! !
"Humph, those Confucian scholars keep calling me a tyrant. Don't you know whether I am a tyrant or not?"

"It's even more abominable than those imperial censors!"

"Evil will be dealt with by evil. It's difficult for me to deal with you, so let Ouyang Lun come. If you meet Ouyang Lun, you will be in trouble!"

Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more satisfied as he read the contents of the newspaper.

"Wang Zhong."

"The minister is here."

"The results of the square dance competition, the Queen should have announced the results, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and asked: "How is it? Am I the first?"

"Your Majesty, the concubines in the harem and the eunuchs and palace maids who participated in the evaluation all felt that the Queen danced better." Wang Zhong said truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately displeased, "There must be something fishy going on!"

"I dance so well, but I'm not first! I'm so pissed!"

Wang Zhong quickly said, "But the Queen also said later that Your Majesty danced very well and should win first place in the men's group!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression eased a little, "That's more like it! No, I'm the only man in the palace, the rest are eunuchs, maids, and guards are not present."

"Next time, next time I will definitely defeat the Queen!"

Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about how to improve his square dancing skills, the court's public opinion war was going on.

The most important newspaper in the Ming Dynasty is the People's Daily of the Ming Dynasty!!

This is also the only newspaper organization that has permanent offices in all counties of the Ming Dynasty. All branches are located in the most central areas of the local area, and a unique three-story building is built as an office. The provincial capital has four floors, the provincial capital has five floors, and the headquarters in the capital has six floors! !
Under the leadership of the Ming People's Daily, local newspapers such as the Beizhili Times, Guangdong Daily, and Zhejiang Newspapers began to take action.

Inside a teahouse.

A storyteller was giving a passionate speech.

"Everyone, what I am going to tell you next is the content of the 'People's Daily'."

"This first piece of news reported that 15 highway construction projects in Zhejiang Province were suspended and 20 schools were unable to open normally."

Upon hearing this message, someone in the teahouse immediately started complaining.

"What is going on here? Many construction sites have stopped working. My uncle's second son hasn't found a job for several days. If this continues, the whole family will be left with nothing."

"Isn't this school promoted by the imperial court? Why can't it open normally? Is there corruption again? My child is waiting to go to school!"

"Does anyone know what happened? Please analyze it for us!"

While the guests were discussing heatedly, the teahouse owner came to the front and said with a smile: "I know that everyone has a lot of questions about the news in the newspaper, so I specially invited Mr. Zhao, who used to be a government lawyer, to come here. He knows a lot about the news in the newspaper."

"Master Zhao, please come on stage!"

Soon, an elderly man holding a paper fan and wearing a scholar's robe walked onto the stage. He looked very knowledgeable.

"Hello, everyone. I used to be a legal advisor in a government office. I am a little more informed than you. I have been invited by the boss to chat with you about newspapers and news." Legal Advisor Zhao bowed and sat down on the stage.

"Good!" The guests around also cheered.

The storyteller acted as the host. "Mr. Zhao, before you came up, everyone was confused about the first news item in the People's Daily. What do you think?"

Master Zhao fanned himself and said calmly, "You are talking about the recent suspension of construction sites and school construction in Zhejiang Province, right?"

"Yes, yes!" The storyteller nodded repeatedly, "Many people make money by working on the construction site, and everyone is looking forward to sending their children to school after the school is built!"

"Why did it stop so suddenly? Could it be that the court is not keeping its word?"

Master Zhao shook his head. "These things really can't be blamed on the court. As far as I know, the court has actually been pushing for the resumption of work and production at construction sites, and has put a lot of effort into school education. The reason why it stopped is because someone is making trouble!"

When Master Zhao said this, the crowd at the scene immediately went into an uproar.

"The one who has the power to cause trouble must be the current Minister of Revenue and Prince Consort Ouyang Lun! Only he has the power to stop the construction site and the school!"

"It's being rumored that Ouyang Lun is a treacherous minister who controls the court. Now he's doing something like this again. Your Majesty the Emperor should arrest him!"

"Catch Ouyang Lun? Haha, how many times has Ouyang Lun been caught? Didn't he come out safe and sound that time? Ouyang Lun is the prince consort, and the current emperor is Ouyang Lun's father-in-law. They are a family!"

"Your Majesty is so confused! Fortunately, there are those Confucianists protesting, otherwise no one would do anything for us ordinary people!"

"We should support the Confucian heroes who continue to protest!"

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Master Zhao shouted, "You are all wrong!"

"It's clearly written in the newspaper that the real cause of the current situation is not Prince Consort Ouyang, but those Confucianists who shouted that they wanted to help the people and seek justice!!"
