Promotion Letter for the Chief Executive

In this matter, Ping An has a special solution.

Although he didn't know what kind of method the other party would take before, he could imagine that there were only a few of them.Either fight hard, or start from another aspect.

For Ping An, using public opinion is the easiest thing for him to think of, because it is also what he is best at.So although I don't know if the other party will make arrangements for this, Ping An has already figured out a strategy to deal with it.

In other words, his coping started a long time ago.

After discovering the idea that someone in the capital had already begun to guide the people, Ping An made a decisive decision and arranged for someone to guide the people at the same time, directly letting the people skip the day when they expected to see Zhao Can get married, and began to explore the truth about his unmarried status.

There is a phenomenon that is very strange.The same thing, sometimes just because of the different order of occurrence, will bring about completely different results.

If the common people first had expectations for Zhao Can's marriage, but did not get a response from the royal family, then naturally, they would start to have expectations and anger towards Zhao Can, thinking that the other party had failed their expectations.

If they found out the so-called truth at that time, and knew the relationship between Zhao Can and Pingan, they would turn their dissatisfaction into anger, thinking that the royal family was hiding dirt, and Zhao Can had been deceiving them—although they never From the beginning to the end, Zhao Can never made any promises to them.

However, when people are in anger, their rationality will plummet. At that time, as long as they are properly guided, the dissatisfaction of these people can be directly erupted.

Among so many dynasties throughout the ages, although the local people had riots from time to time, it was still unique in the capital.Once that point has been reached, Zhao Can's matter cannot be ended if he does not sin against himself.And once he does this, it is tantamount to putting his emperor's dignity on the ground, and it is absolutely impossible to control the court freely in the future.

Because even the minister who is loyal to him now will question his prestige at that time.

But if they skipped this waiting process from the beginning and let them start to explore the hidden secret behind it, even if Zhao Can's relationship with Ping An was exposed, it would be nothing more than Zhao Can's romantic affair.

Maybe some people will push this unbearable feeling to a higher level because of their admiration for Zhao Can, thinking that as an emperor, Zhao Can's actions are unpredictable to everyone, and he is full of courage. It is enviable and yearning.

For these common people, as long as they are properly guided, it is not too difficult for Zhao Can, who is uncompromising in politics, to be persistent emotionally.

Even if they don't support it, they won't clearly oppose it, at least not to the point where the crowd is so angry that they want Zhao Can to give an explanation.

After all, the folks are always more enthusiastic about the gossip and rumors of the royal family's feelings, and there is always a group of people who naturally think that the people in the royal family are completely different from ordinary people.Since they are different, it is understandable to do something out of the ordinary.

Of course, all of this is under the condition of proper guidance, otherwise this matter will at most be regarded as Zhao Can's youthful absurdity and momentary confusion.

As for Ping An, he can confidently say that in this era, he is the ancestor of the science of public opinion guidance.Before he founded the newspaper, although these ancient people knew that people's words were awesome, and sometimes even used public opinion to do things, but few of them were able to do it theoretically and systematically.

In addition to disrupting the other party's order and controlling the key to public opinion guidance in their own hands, Ping An also made other arrangements for this matter.

Ping An has been preparing for this since a few years ago when it realized that there would be such a day sooner or later.

Especially after Wen Chengbi came to the capital, her presence made Ping An's work more efficient.

Speaking of the relationship between Ping An and Zhao Can, Wen Chengbi may be the first person to know the truth.Although when she "knew" all of this, even Ping An and Zhao Can hadn't developed to this point yet.

However, it was also because of this that Ping An and Zhao Can had never shunned her since then.

Regarding this matter, Wen Chengbi held an attitude of neither agreeing nor opposing.The reason for her disapproval is that she knows that the two of them will face many difficulties, and they may not be able to go on forever.He didn't object because he knew what kind of people Ping An and Zhao Can were, they had their own ways of dealing with the world, and he didn't need her to teach them what to do.

This woman is clever and enlightened, and knows how to respect the other party's choice. This is the fundamental reason why Ping An chooses to be friends with her, and even Zhao Can has to admit that she doesn't hate her.

It's a pity that such a girl married Zhao Xuan in her previous life.

Far away, because she knew this matter well, so after she came to the capital, Ping An immediately asked her for help and founded Da Chu's first magazine.

Compared with newspapers, the content of magazines is more rigorous and detailed, and the overall level is higher. The disadvantage is naturally that the time between publications is longer.Wen Chengbi adopts the form of a monthly magazine, and only twelve issues can be published a year.

However, in view of the content and audience considerations of this magazine, this form is more appropriate.

It is a shame that this first magazine, the actual content is not so on the stage.Because this magazine named "Yueren Song" by Ping An is actually a third-rate street newspaper, which specializes in publishing content related to male-male romance, from legendary stories handed down from ancient times to fictional works fabricated by novelists , and so on.

With Wen Chengbi as the editor-in-chief, this magazine is aimed at those boudoir ladies living in back houses, as well as literati who have special pursuits and hobbies for this kind of romantic affairs.

Speaking of it, I would also like to thank the various newspapers that have sprung up like mushrooms after the emergence of newspapers, with all kinds of content and forms, and because of the influence of newspapers, princes and nobles in the capital, ordinary people will read them, women in boudoirs and girls Naturally, we must also keep up with this trend.So this magazine is caught in it, and it's actually not eye-catching at all.

Of course, although Ping An positions it as a third-rate magazine, the actual content is not as good as Xiangyan. Most of the stories are about two men who fell in love with each other and were forced by the worldly society. Can each side of the world.

Of course, the protagonists in the story must not give in, and will always take various methods to fight.

Whether they succeed, they either die or become monks in the end, and they always jump out of the secular rules.There are also those who succeeded, and finally used their true feelings and intelligence to move the people around them, received their blessings and praises, and lived happily together.

In addition, Ping An also invited Xu Wenmei, who is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, to create a newspaper called "Liyuan Gathering", which is dedicated to commenting on the latest new dramas, tasting famous operas before, and telling stories in the opera industry.

At this time, there were no women in the opera industry, and all the female roles on the stage were played by men with slender physique and outstanding appearance.It is precisely because of this reason that this industry is always prone to male-male romances.After all, how many opera lovers can completely distinguish between the romantic and graceful characters on the stage and the actors in reality?

There are not many pastimes nowadays, and listening to opera is one of the more elegant and respected ones.Therefore, from the princes and nobles to the homes of ordinary people, there are people who like it, and it is similar to the stars of later generations.Because of this reason, the influence of the newspaper "Liyuan Huihui" is not small.

Such a two-pronged approach has achieved some achievements in the past few years.

In fact, Ping An is very clear that what these people read in the story is different from what actually happened around them.

Fortunately, he didn't expect this kind of thing to completely change people's ideas, but just wanted to create a feeling for people: there is actually nothing wrong with such a relationship that is not tolerated by the world.

They don't need to support it, but they don't have to treat this matter like a scourge.

This kind of understanding is actually of little use, because in essence, what Ping An and Zhao Can are really facing now is the conflict between feelings and imperial power, not anything else.Even if Zhao Can fell in love with a woman, once she was not accepted by the court, the result would be the same.Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many legends about beautiful women in history.

But that was only for the courtiers.Just like the folks are very yearning for the story of the emperor and queen being harmonious and loving, and the emperor only loves one person in his life, but the ministers may not agree, as long as the matter does not involve their own interests, many people will not care who the emperor likes .Therefore, it is much easier for Ping An to create a seemingly relaxed atmosphere.

Because of these arrangements, after realizing that the other party had started to attack, Ping An decisively found Wen Chengbi and told her about it.

Wen Chengbi heard the string song and knew the elegance, and immediately said, "In two days, the next issue of the magazine will be published. This time there will be a story about the emperor's alluring love. What do you think?"

Pingan shook the goosebumps that appeared inexplicably, and said with a hand on his forehead, "It's fine if you think it's fine."

Although it was necessary for publicity, but hearing this from Wen Chengbi's mouth, why did it make people feel so chilled?

But no matter what, after Ping An took the shot, public opinion was indeed completely disrupted very quickly.

Compared with asking the emperor to marry a noble daughter to be the queen, naturally, this kind of secret affair that cannot be announced can arouse the interest of ordinary people and make them eagerly communicate with each other.Is this true or false?They don't care, what they care about is that they have new talking points.

Although there are still many people who disagree with this matter, the focus of their debate has shifted to whether an emperor with such hobbies is a good emperor, and whether he can do whatever he likes after being an emperor. It's not what the ministers want to see at all.

In the first confrontation between the two sides, Ping An won.

However, neither side paid much attention to this matter.Because this is just the first tentative battle, the outcome is not important, the important thing, starting from this incident, marks that Zhao Can and his courtiers have finally torn off the veil of tenderness and started a frontal battle .

The ministers wanted to use Ping An as a breakthrough point to seize Zhao Can's weakness and force him to submit, and Zhao Can and Ping An also hoped to use this incident to solve the problem between the two of them in one fell swoop.As long as Zhao Can can suppress these ministers and let them know that the majesty of the emperor cannot be provoked, then no one will mention this matter again.

For Ping An and Zhao Can, as long as the relationship between the two continues, this matter will explode sooner or later.Instead of letting it stay between two people, it is better to try to stimulate the conflict and completely eliminate the hidden danger.After that, nothing can stop the two from being together.

And... this is certainly an opportunity that the ministers have been waiting for for a long time, but why not for Zhao Can?

The so-called opportunity is something that you can only grasp, if you miss it, or even be caught by others, it will be the most fatal blow.What could be more suitable for Zhao Can to subdue this group of courtiers than this time?

The majesty of the emperor is not naturally generated, but a combination of such small things.

After the initial tentative contact was over, the officials immediately started the next step.Since they failed to guide public opinion, and Zhao Can was clearly prepared, they simply resorted to a big move, and the snowflake-like impeachment memorials filled Zhao Can's table overnight.

All are memorials to impeach Ping An.

After Ping An finished reading a few of them, he couldn't help laughing, "It turns out that the ministers of the DPRK and China have such rich imaginations?"

In these memorials, Ping An was simply described as a great evildoer who brought disaster to the country and the people. With him in his presence, Da Chu would not be able to be peaceful for a day.He also seduced Zhao Can, a wise emperor, to lead him to a wrong path.The courtiers tried their best to persuade them, hoping that Zhao Can would wake up, get rid of the evildoers, and restore the world to a bright future.

After sketching out the story in his mind, Ping An couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhao Can looked at him helplessly, "I thought you should be worried at this time."

"With His Majesty here, I'm naturally not worried." Ping An said, "I just can't connect the person described in the memorial with myself. Could it be that in the eyes of your courtiers, I look like a monster with blue face and fangs? Is it about the same?"

"I'm still a fatuous, beauty-obsessed emperor." Zhao Can said.

Ping An rubbed his chin, "It seems to be quite suitable for what you say. I just don't know when that capable minister who will help the country will show up."

Zhao Can said with a half-smile, "I'm afraid everyone thinks that they are the ones who help the poor and turn the tide, right? It's a pity that they neither dare to speak out, nor have the ability to deal with you, so they have to submit a memorial with no real content. One day, if it is really a fluke, there is always a credit for it."

When he said these words, he did not hide the disdain in his tone at all.

Although it has been expected, Zhao Can is obviously not satisfied with what is happening now.

Of course, no one in a position of authority would be able to tolerate the people below calculating him like this, right?Moreover, they still hugged a group and planned to take away part of the power from him.

There is a relatively easy-to-understand term to describe this situation, which is called committing chaos.Although these people are more polite and covert now, it is not obvious on the surface, but the essence is the same.

In contrast, Ping An's mentality is relatively peaceful.Because he has no idea of ​​imperial power, and for him, power struggles have always been like this.The winner writes everything, the loser writes nothing.Even after thousands of years, there is still no change.

This is the most fundamental thing in human nature, and it cannot be changed by external forces and objects.

Fortunately, Zhao Can was not arrogant enough to look down on others, and he was just complaining about Ping An.As for these memorials, they are not bad as life adjustments.

But the ministers obviously have to do more than that.Because Zhao Can kept the memorial and did not make any reaction, soon, some courtiers mentioned this matter in the early court.

In the three days of the Great Chu Dynasty, hundreds of officials who were promoted to the court gathered together, and it was actually impossible to discuss any serious matters.The real military and state affairs are often the result of the emperor summoning several important ministers to discuss and come up with a result, and then take it to the court for voting and approval, and then formally issue an order.As for those trivial matters, there is no need to bring them to the court.

Therefore, there are not many things that really need to be discussed in the court, and almost every one of them is of great importance.

And most of them are things that the emperor is not willing to face.

Because speaking at this time, the king on the throne has no room to evade, and must show an attitude.But precisely because of this, when a matter was brought up in the early court without private discussions, it meant that there was no room for change in the matter.

What's even more rare is that this time, the courtiers were clearly prepared, because after an official of the Ministry of Rites reported the incident, dozens of officials stepped out of their seats one after another, saying "secondary".

This battle is probably not much worse than forcing the palace.

Zhao Can laughed angrily. He stood up and glanced at these officials one by one, "The 41 ministers, those who don't know about it, would think that you are begging for your orders on a matter of human life!"

"Your Majesty!" The first official from the Ministry of Rites plopped and knelt down, "There is no small matter in the Tian family. Your Majesty's branching out and giving birth to an imperial heir is originally for the sake of the country. Your Majesty must not be ignored!"

"Oh? So, if I don't agree today, is there someone among you who is planning to remonstrate to death?!" Zhao Can said with a sullen face, and when he said the last few words, he almost gritted his teeth. One word spit out.

In this scene, the fool knew that he was angry. Many ministers were so frightened that they even slowed down their breathing. Tremblingly said, "I dare not."

"I dare not!" Zhao Can sneered, "Don't you dare to make such a big noise, if you dare, so what?"

Although he didn't say the specific content of "how", but almost everyone present had a thought: If he dared, wouldn't he want to pull Zhao Can from the throne?

This thought shocked them, and they lowered their heads immediately.

In fact, among these ministers, whether anyone really thought about such a possibility is unknown except for themselves.Maybe there is or not, but when Zhao Can said this sentence, no matter if it was there or not, they could only open their mouths to defend themselves, and at the same time, they also pleaded guilty to Zhao Can.

"Your Majesty forgives the crime, and the ministers have no such intentions. They just hope that your majesty's family and society will be the most important thing, and the emperor's heir will be continued as soon as possible."

"You are really worrying too much. This great Chu country is named Zhao. As long as the royal family surnamed Zhao survives for a day, this country and society will naturally be very stable." Zhao Can also calmed down, and said in a flat tone, "As for my I don’t need to bother you about the matter of the harem.”

This was the first time he made it so clear that he didn't need the ministers to worry about his private affairs, which made the courtiers stunned for a moment. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Can had already had someone sing "retire from the court", and then strode away.

So the matter had to be left alone.But no matter who it is, it is very clear in the heart that at this time, it is impossible to let this matter go away, and the next situation will inevitably become more severe.

Regardless of which aspect, I don't want this matter to drag on for too long. After all, the entire court is caught in internal struggles. The situation of doing things carelessly.

A centipede is dead but not stiff.The demise of most behemoths starts from within.

And for Zhao Can, who single-handedly turned the country into what it is today, he would not allow such a change.

Then, the courtiers did not mention this matter in the early court, but some very inconspicuous memorials appeared on Zhao Can's desk.The content of the memorial is also very intriguing.

The memorial stated that since King Qi entered the capital, the ancestral mausoleum in Luozhou was left unattended.As for the candidate, the ministers all recommended Ping An, the chief executive who is the most trusted by the emperor's side. ——Although Ping An has given himself the title of Secretary-General, most people are still used to the title of General Manager.
