King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

"Da Ming Daily!!!"

"We both hope that you can become the person in charge."

See this.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu naturally knew that the time was almost right, and they said it directly.

This is said.

This made Xie Jin stunned on the spot. He looked completely confused and stared at the two of them in astonishment, not understanding what the two were trying to do at all.

It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He looked up curiously at the King of Han and the Crown Prince who were looking at him with a joking look on their faces, and asked cautiously:
"Daming Daily?"

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince"

"What do these four words mean?"

"Forgive me for being so stupid, I really don't understand."

"Please let your Highness, Your Highness, make it clear."

This matter was not really Xie Jin's self-deprecation, but he had never heard of these words in all these years.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi were not at all surprised by this question.

If Xie Jin understood this matter and knew what it meant, they would be surprised and horrified!
Afterwards, Zhu Gaochi glanced at Zhu Gaoxu who was standing beside him, nodded and said:
"Second brother..."

"This matter was proposed by you."

"You should explain it to Xie Jin in detail!"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded without comment and said:
"Master Xie..."

"You should know better than anyone that the imperial power does not extend to the countryside, right?"

Xie Jin nodded in indication.

He was very familiar with this sentence. After all, it was a common problem in all dynasties.

It is precisely for this reason that the imperial court was dragged into the situation.

It is because we are forced to compromise and give in.

It is precisely because of this problem that the court officials rely on the gentry and the nobles...

An exchange of interests has to take place.

But can this so-called Ming Daily solve the current problem?
Can the influence of those thieves be eliminated?
Can this problem really be solved?

About it.

Xie Jin was more or less skeptical in his heart.

Because he had walked up step by step from the bottom, he knew better than anyone the difficulty and horror of this place.

"My Lord, is there any need for this?"

"Can you really handle the current situation?"

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu nodded without commenting:

"Yes."

"As long as the Ming Daily can be established and can really gain momentum."

"It will certainly be possible."

“It will not only break the monopoly of the imperial power not going to the countryside but being controlled by the gentry and aristocrats.”

“It can also be used to break the influence of certain people.”

"It can also give some people a fatal blow."

"Don't even think about causing any more trouble in the court or in the whole world."

"Because the right to speak will no longer be limited to them, but will be firmly in the hands of the court."

"Those so-called threats and coercion will never be able to gain any momentum again. In an instant, they will collapse like chickens and pottery dogs, and all of them will be pulled down from the altar."

This statement came out.

This made Xie Jin, who was already surprised and astonished, even more curious and confused.

I'm very curious, is it really possible?
Is it really possible to do such a thing, to break such a monopoly and completely bring those people down from the altar?
Is it really that powerful?
At the same time, Xie Jin couldn't help but become more and more curious and couldn't believe it was true.

It is not surprising that Xie Jin thought so much about this matter. The problem Zhu Gaoxu raised really overturned everything he had learned and known over the years.

Never heard of it, never thought about it.

Of course, if it is really possible, as Zhu Gaoxu said.

Naturally, this is also the result that Xie Jin most wants to see.

At the same time, it is also possible that, as Zhu Gaoxu said, these three people will definitely leave a deep mark in the history of the entire Ming Dynasty court.

It is no exaggeration to say that his name will go down in history.

As he thought about it, Xie Jin couldn't help but get excited and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty..."

"I, your humble servant, would like to explain it in detail."

At this, Zhu Gaoxu smiled without comment, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice:
"This is the Ming Daily."

“The real structure is to break the monopoly of certain people on discourse power.”

"so……"

"This king needs you to recruit enough professional storytellers with clean backgrounds as quickly as possible at this stage."

Xie Jin: “???????”

What do you mean?
What the hell is this about winning over professional storytellers with clean backgrounds? What is the meaning and significance of this?

These words made Xie Jin's doubts even stronger at this moment.

Therefore, in his opinion, this matter was completely irrelevant to what they had just planned and discussed, and there was no necessary connection between the two. Of course, he also didn't understand the real use of the storyteller, and how it could help them with what they were going to do and want to change.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu just smiled without commenting. He also knew that he would definitely not understand. He probably couldn't figure out even in his dreams what the real use of storytellers was here, and what kind of help and assistance they could provide in this matter. So he explained directly: "Master Jie"

"We have already said that."

"The whole world's right to speak and public opinion is in the hands of scholars, or officials. In many cases, the people believe what they say."

"Over the years, they have more or less used what they have in their hands to achieve their goals."

"For example, if the imperial court wants to implement a policy that conflicts with their interests and harms their interests, those individuals will stir up public opinion to incite public opinion and use the people to force the imperial court to give in or give up."

"This kind of thing has happened many times in all dynasties. Just today, in broad daylight, those thieves beat to death a newly appointed official of the Ministry of Works in the street. This is the best proof, isn't it?"

"Although these people who committed the crime had their own interests involved, from another perspective, weren't they also deceived and incited by others to do such a thing?"

"But in this world, in my opinion, apart from officials, scholars, and gentry, the only people who can control public opinion, have the right to speak, and have the ability to spread events widely and magnify certain things are storytellers."

"Storyteller!"

"This group of people are also people with enlightened intelligence, because they have read books and can read, but due to various reasons, methods or abilities, they do not have the ability to pass the imperial examinations."

"Master Jie, please think about it. Who are the people who usually like to listen to storytellers?"

"Aren't they all common people?"

"Because truly knowledgeable and capable people look down on storytellers and are unwilling to listen to them. In the eyes of scholars or gentry, storytellers are no different from ants."

"So there is a natural class gap between the two forces. It's just that the storytellers are afraid to confront them because of the authority of the scholars, gentry, and officials. Sometimes they are unhappy and their words are relatively obscure."

"Stories are mostly told in busy areas of the city. The audience is so wide and the effect of spreading the news is so great."

Having said this, Zhu Gaoxu paused, and suddenly opened his half-closed eyes. A frightening cold light burst out from his eyes, and his expression suddenly became gloomy. He spoke sharply and in a deep voice,
"As long as the court employs these individuals, becomes their backer, and allows them to spread the court's current decrees and various decrees to be implemented in the future, do you think that the barriers that have been monopolized by gentry, scholars, officials, etc. for thousands of years can really exist?"

"Can those people really still fool the people of the world as usual? Can the people of the world still be fooled by them?"

"Once the people know the imperial court's policies and know the imperial court's benefits, will they still have the energy to challenge the imperial court and fight against it?"

"If the people are no longer fooled, no longer ignorant, and no longer allowed to be fooled by them, will the court still be afraid and worried about those so-called gentry and nobles?"

"Do they still have the capital and means to coerce the imperial court?"

"Once public opinion is controlled by the imperial court, the situation in the whole world will be easy to attack and defend. It will no longer be the imperial court that is afraid of them, but they will be afraid of the imperial court."

"Because they have lost the means to discredit the imperial court, and the imperial court can use this to discredit them. Even if the imperial court does not do such a despicable thing, but simply makes their crimes public, will the common people who have been oppressed and exploited by the gentry really be able to forgive these traitors?"

"The imperial court is afraid of public anger and public opinion. Do you think those gentry and nobles will not be afraid?"

"Public opinion and public anger can not only overthrow the imperial court, but also overthrow those gentry and noble families. This double-edged sword can not only hurt the imperial court, but also hurt them!"

"This is also the real reason why I asked you to win over the best storytellers in the world."

"As long as we can control these individuals and grasp the situation in the world, for the whole world and the whole court, do you think it will be difficult for the court to implement the decree in the future?"

"Will there still be a situation in every dynasty where the so-called imperial power does not extend to the countryside?"

“Who will be the chopping block and who will be the fish?”

This is said.

When Zhu Gaoxu told Xie Jin everything about the storyteller and the grand plan in his mind, Xie Jin was stunned and fell into deep thought. At the same time, his mind was full of thoughts. He kept thinking and pondering about the feasibility of what Zhu Gaoxu said and whether it could really achieve the effect he said.

If you don't think about it, you won't know. If you think about it carefully, Xie Jin was really shocked.

What a smart man he was. After careful reminders and consideration, Xie Jin instantly grasped the key here.

If Xie Jin had not had much confidence in the grand blueprint Zhu Gaoxu had drawn for him before, now after listening to Zhu Gaoxu's method of breaking the impasse, Xie Jin had full confidence in whether he would succeed or not.

What's more, if this matter is really implemented as Zhu Gaoxu said, it will almost certainly achieve the effect he said, and it is very likely to break the barriers that have existed for thousands of years.

It can really pull some high and mighty people down from the altar.

At the same time, it also lets those people feel the threat of the court and the imperial hall manipulating public opinion, public grievances, and public anger, and lets them thoroughly taste the fear coming from the common people of the world.

As for the method to break the current impasse, Xie Jin had to admit that Zhu Gaoxu's wisdom and ability in looking at things were different from those of ordinary people. After all, the storyteller profession had existed for thousands of years, but no one could have imagined that storytellers could have such uses and abilities.

After a brief pause, Xie Jin's expression suddenly became extremely solemn. He bowed respectfully to Zhu Gaoxu, his words and expression showing admiration, and said:
"Your Highness, Prince, your thoughts and ideas are so thoughtful and thoughtful that I really admire you!"

"If this matter can really be implemented, it will receive strong support from the imperial court."

"It can definitely be accomplished. It can reach the state that the prince just described."

"Our Ming Dynasty court and the Ming world are bound to usher in a different pattern and changes."

"but……"

Having said this, Xie Jin paused, his expression suddenly became extremely solemn, and he said very seriously:
"Will there be resistance in the court?"

"After all, there are many smart and intelligent people."

"Our move undoubtedly affects other people's core interests and their greatest reliance."

"If someone knew about this, this place would most likely..."

No further words were said after that, but everyone was smart and could understand what was meant and what the concerns and worries were without having to make things too clear.

In this regard.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled without commenting, his expression did not change at all, he reached out and gently patted Xie Jin's shoulder, and replied:
"rest assured!"

"If you can think of this problem, how can I not understand it?"

"so……"

"You need to do this secretly. Before the layout is completed, no information can be leaked."

"And regarding this matter, the Royal Guards will spare no effort to cooperate with all your actions."

"In this matter, I will concentrate on protecting you."

"As for the money you need, I and the Crown Prince will find a way for you."

"You don't have to think about anything else."

"Xie Jin, just concentrate on doing this matter. I wonder how you can complete the detailed layout?"

"Can you thoroughly arrange the current affairs?"

"Huh?" (End of chapter)
