The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Yan Song smiled and handed over the editorial draft in his hand: "Lin Baishui, please correct me a lot."

The middle-aged man in front of him is Lin Baishui who was exchanged by Yan Song and will soon be the president of the largest newspaper "Ta Kung Pao" that Yan Song secretly controls!

Lin Baishui, the most famous newspaper tycoon in the late Qing Dynasty, was one of the earliest advocates of the vernacular. After Guangxu and the Republic of China, he successively served as the editor-in-chief of "Hangzhou Vernacular News", the editor-in-chief of "Jingzhong Daily", and the editor-in-chief of "Gongyan Daily". He founded "Society Daily" ".My greatest wish in my life is to run a newspaper, to promote the Chinese newspaper industry, and to let ordinary people understand the dark side of the ruling class.

Lin Baishui read Yan Song's editorial "The Thief Who Conspires against the Country!"The big dogs behind the assassination of the emperor! "

In this editorial, Yan Song pointed out that the assassination of Emperor Jiajing was the result of an extremely selfish and united southeast noble family, big officials, big landlords, big businessmen, and big merchants colluding to oppose the imperial court and disregarding the country's peace. The safety of the country was in danger, and he took reckless risks, creating an extremely serious political crisis.

He listed a series of southeast conspiracies and resistance encountered during the Jiajing Southern Tour, and provided irrefutable evidence to point out the identities of the masterminds behind the scenes—the southeast nobles.Yan Song also gave them an impressive and powerful name - Big Dog.

Yan Song pointed out that big dogs are greedy and shameless, annexing land, oppressing good people, bullying men and women, colluding with Japanese pirates, and disregarding human life, (a thousand words are omitted below). The big dogs monopolize the wealth, and the gap between the rich and the poor is too serious!

He did not hesitate to incite the common people's class hatred against the wealthy households, exaggerating the privileges of the wealthy households from economic, political, judicial, military, security and other aspects, and arousing the hatred of the people against them.

The most impactful passage in the editorial is written like this.

"Today, in order to resist the imperial court's tax increase, in order to evade the tax payable, in order to show their strength and muscle, they dare to go crazy, take risks, plot rebellion, collude with Japan, assassinate the emperor, what else dare not do? Once the emperor If you are assassinated, the world is bound to be in chaos, the flames of war will continue, the swords and soldiers will be like disasters, and the people of the Li people will live in misery. The most unlucky people are not the people? There is no crime in the world greater than this! If we can’t seriously investigate and deal with it, how can we not let them pay in blood? Is the court’s way of benevolence and forgiveness set up for you?”

Finally, he issued a call to battle to the people from all walks of life: "People from all walks of life must recognize the profound harm caused by the collusion between officials and businessmen, against the imperial court, and rebellion. The imperial court's knife only cuts down the rich! The common people are only good! The common people stand up and expose the big dogs! Please see who is ruling the world in today's domain!"

Lin Baishui read this editorial with explosive fighting power, and his eyes were full of brilliance: "With this editorial, it is possible to expose all kinds of perverse actions of the big dogs. Coupled with the influence of "Ta Kung Pao", the hearts of the people in the southeast are bound to be Fall to the imperial court!"

Yan Song smiled slightly: "Bai Shui, don't underestimate the public opinion ability of big dogs. They control the scholars of Shilin in the southeast. If we can't start with the hundreds of millions of people in the southeast and completely stigmatize them, the reputation of the court, the emperor and me will be ruined." , will definitely be damaged, and will also affect the effect of this liquidation on the southeast."

Lin Baishui nodded deeply: "Please rest assured, Mr. Ge, I will definitely use my professional ability to help Mr. Ge control the public opinion in the southeast! Not only Ta Kung Pao, but also (Zhao Liaohao) several other newspapers, I will also manage them well."

In fact, apart from Yan Song, all the newspapers in the southeast and even Daming have been secretly bought and controlled by Yan Song using ten businessmen.

Yan Song had already controlled the newspaper industry of the Ming Dynasty through the power of capital.

On the surface, Lin Baishui is the president of Ta Kung Pao, but in fact, other newspapers across the country are also under his control, acting as Yan Song's mouthpiece and controlling public opinion.

Yan Song thought about it again: "In addition to your newspaper industry, I will take multiple approaches, such as Chen Yuanyuan's Kunqu Opera Theater, you should also pay attention to coordination."

Lin Baishui's eyes showed surprise, he turned and walked down.

Yan Song called Chen Yuanyuan again, and handed over the new script "Chengtian Cry" that he ordered Tang Xianzu to write overnight, and handed it over to this famous Kunqu Opera star all over the country. .

Chapter 377 Set off a public opinion war [4]

Ever since Yan Song disappeared, Chen Yuanyuan has been so anxious that she couldn't sleep at night, she ran to no man's land several times to look for Yan Song.

Now when he heard that Yan Song was coming back, he came to serve Yan Song without taking off his plain clothes.As a result, I was very surprised to see Yan Song come up with a new script as soon as he came back.

"When did you write the notebook?" Chen Yuanyuan asked strangely.

Yan Song laughed dryly, and said in his heart that he was too anxious, he should wait two days before giving it to her, wouldn't he be out of order?

"Haha, when I was in trouble with the emperor, I would just think a few words in my mind, and I would have a notebook as soon as I came back." Yan Song said with a smile.

(Tang Xianzu: I want to die.)

Originally, it would be more appropriate to give Yuanyuan a later date, but at this time he has already launched an offensive against the big dogs in the southeast. At this time, controlling public opinion is extremely important and must not be lost.So we can only race against time and hand it over to Chen Yuanyuan.

Chen Yuanyuan took the book "Chengtian Cry" and hurriedly read it.

"Cheng Tian Psychic" is Tang Xianzu's fourth play, which shows that when Jiajingnan was touring his hometown Chengtian Mansion, he encountered the conspiracy and assassination organized by a powerful conspiracy group.But under Jiajing's wise determination and Yan Song's wit, the emperor met Huya, the queen of the people. Not only did he successfully turn the crisis into safety, he smashed the conspirators 717, and he also reaped his own love story.

Since the story of Jiajing's assassination is bizarre enough and the plot is bloody enough, Tang Xianzu basically copied the Jiajing story, adding some artistic sublimation, and it was freshly released.

Of course Chen Yuanyuan played the key role of Wang Huya.

Chen Yuanyuan finished watching "Chengtian Cry" and was astonished. He hugged Yan Song and laughed and danced: "I never imagined that Mr. Ge could write scripts while fleeing disaster! You are so talented."

Yan Song and Chen Yuanyuan rubbed each other's ears and temples, their blood was surging, and they finally held back, and said with a stern face: "How long will you be able to perform "Chengtian Cry"? The sooner the better!"

Chen Yuanyuan also realized the importance of "Chengtian Psycho" to Yan Song, thought for a while and said: "This book is not complicated, and our theater has already performed so many books, if your quality requirements are not high, it only takes three days. Let's rehearse, and we can have our first performance!"

"Okay!" Yan Song said, "After three days, I will invite the emperor to bring all the civil and military officials, nobles of the Manchu Dynasty, and even the imperial students of the Imperial College to go to the theater. I must give the big dogs in the southeast a fatal blow. , so that most of Ming's public opinion will fall on the emperor and me!"

Chen Yuanyuan lay in Yan Song's arms: "Don't worry. The little girl can't help you much, this "Cheng Tian Jing Jing", let's treat it as a big gift from the little girl to the old man!"

She kissed Yan Song, then hurried to find the theater owner, and began to rehearse "Chengtian Psycho".

Yan Song looked into the distance, revealing a wise and sharp gaze.

With newspapers mobilizing class hatred, exposing the crimes of big dogs, and having a Kunqu opera camp suitable for all ages, publicizing how cruel and dangerous the emperor is, and how sinister and vicious the big dogs are, can the public opinion not be on their side?

Controlling the public opinion, no matter how miserable the big dog households are, the people from all walks of life in Ming Dynasty and hundreds of millions of people will only applaud and cheer for themselves.

The war of public opinion must be won!

With Yan Song's instructions, Lu Bing and Huang Jin, who were eager to restore Jiajing's impression, took immediate action.

On the third day, Jiajing's holy driver arrived in nearby Luoyang and boarded the dragon boat fleet that had been waiting here.The mighty Dragon Fleet set foot on the return journey of the Grand Canal again.

At this time, Jin Yiwei and Dongchang were busy all the time.

From the dragon boat team, there were always Tiqi issued by Yan Song, the chief assistant who was ordered to investigate and deal with major treason cases, usually Dongchang Fanzi and Jin Yiwei, galloping towards the southeast on horseback.

These Dongchang fanzi and Jinyiwei rushed into Yangzhou, Nanjing, Suzhou, Huzhou, Hangzhou and other southeast most affluent state capitals, followed their plans, arrested people everywhere, and the momentum was extremely large.

However, they are just arresting people, (bfaf) not killing innocent people indiscriminately, unless there is fierce resistance or there is clear evidence that the family is directly related to the big treason case.
