Chapter 273 Public opinion orientation, Jiang Xia's guilt
It's night.
The full moon hangs high, and it is already late at night.
At dusk, Jiang Xia asked Han Mufeng to go back to Xiaoyao Villa to report a letter to Rushuang, Niannu and Ziyue, and he was still waiting in the meeting hall of the Royal Family Dragon Treasure Office.
At this moment, Liang Wenhan is the only one in the meeting hall of the Royal Dragon Investigator. Jiang Xia is rare to have been silent and silent.
Liang Wenhan, who felt the tension in the atmosphere, changed his usual chatter and closed his mouth without saying anything.
However, during this time, Liang Wenhan glanced at Jiang Xia from time to time, and his intention was nothing more than saying a few words to him. However, Jiang Xia seemed to be thinking about it all the time, so he ignored Liang Wenhan.
Finally, it was late at the third day. Geng Zhongqiu, Qian Juexing, Feng Xiao, Leng Yu and the others were all back.
Everyone entered the conference hall together, and the candlesticks around the conference hall were lit, and the whole room suddenly became as bright as daytime.
Everyone saluted Jiang Xia together: "See the leader."
Jiang Xia waved his hand: "Don't pay attention to these etiquettes, report their own gains."
Qian Juexing stood forward and said, "I followed that old guy Guo Ziqing all day and found nothing."
Jiang Xia frowned slightly and looked at Leng Yu.
"I sneaked into Guo Ziqing's house and searched every corner of his study, which made me discover this."
Leng Yu took out a stack of letters from his arms and handed them to Jiang Xia. After taking the letter, Jiang Xia took a look and saw that the cover of the envelope was not written.
Jiang Xia took out the letter paper from the envelope, opened it and glanced twice, and Jiang Xia immediately smiled, "Hui Nianru?"
"We have checked the files of Hui Nianru. It seems that no one in the files has called this name." Geng Zhongqiu said.
Jiang Xia smiled slightly and shook her head and said, "No, I remember that Wang Si, the former Minister of Rites, died of illness in Hongzhi eleven years, and then his wife had never married another wife. So the Ministry of Rites personally issued a document to build a chastity arch for her. Today, the emperor also allows her to change her surname and follow her husband's surname Wang. Her original surname..."
"Submit Hui!" Lu Xingye suddenly thought about it and shouted out first.
Lu Xingye is the goalkeeper of Fengmen, so he knows more about the news than Geng Zhongqiu.
Jiang Xia nodded and said, "Go and get Wang Nianru's file immediately and check carefully if she and Guo Ziqing have any intersection."
"Yes!" Lu Xingye responded and stepped back.
Then Jiang Xia looked at the goalkeeper Bai Hongyun at the front door. Bai Hongyun immediately said: "I have found several families who had experienced the rebellion of Liu Qi, and also found several wounded soldiers who were injured and no longer in the army at that time.
We used money to bribe them and promised to testify that Jiang Bin was brave and extraordinary at that time. We have taught them one by one to make sure they won't let it go."
"Okay." Jiang Xia nodded.
Then he looked at Ling Yuxuan, the goalkeeper of Timen, and Ling Yuxuan nodded and said, "I have also found several famous scholars in the capital and used some means to let them write these."
After saying that, Ling Yuxuan took out a stack of paper and gave it to Jiang Xia.
After seeing it, Jiang Xia nodded and seemed very satisfied. He said, "You guys are doing well, and the next thing is very simple. Just send everyone out to spread the news as we planned before."
"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison.
The next day.
The sun rises as usual and the sky is blue as usual.
Mr. Li from the next house still scolds Mr. Wang, who has never married a wife in his life, as usual. Every time he is scolded, he lowers his head and laughs, because this means that he can sneak into the dog hole to Mr. Li's house to find her happiness at night.
On this day, there were still many people in the capital talking about the morning before yesterday when the Censorate Censor Ran Xi was killed in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
But just now, before he could say a few words indignation, "The tyrant monarch ruined the country, and the slandered ministers listened randomly", he heard the person beside him pointing to the front page headline on the Ming Daily and saying, "Oh my God, Lord Guo from Tongzhengsi actually had an affair with Mrs. Wang Nianru, who has a chastity archway in the east of the city. My goodness, this is true or false."
"This is still fake. Look at the contents of the letters written by Mrs. Wang to Lord Guo. It turns out that the two of them met when they were burning incense and worshiping Buddha in the temple. Such mediocre thoughts in front of the Buddha were really a pair of dogs."
"Oh... Guo Ziqing is still clear. I think he is turbid and black ink."
In addition, the second, third and fourth editions of Daming Daily reported on the incident of Ran Xi's death, Jiang Bin's brilliant resume, interviewing the impressions of the people and the wounded soldiers of Liu Qi when the rebellion, and the views of Jiang Bin on the position of Jiang Bin as the commander of the four towns of Xuanfu.
Each item is intended to establish an image for Jiang Bin, an image that is enough to serve as the commander of the four towns of Xuanfu.
Soon some people in the capital began to talk about whether Ran Xi’s death remarks were loyalty or impulsiveness, and then strange voices still emerged.
The power of newspapers and their control over public opinion were immediately revealed.
In Jiang Xia's series of actions, two victims appeared. One was Guo Ziqing and the other was Wang Nianru.
The emperor has personally issued an imperial edict to reprimand Guo Ziqing and Wang Nianru, which is equivalent to making a decision about their affairs. Everyone in the capital knows that the two have really had a miserable life.
The similar content of the newspaper was posted for three consecutive days, and on the third day it started to rain heavily.
Jiang Xia stood under the eaves of the main hall in the front yard of the Royal Long Tan Yamen, watching the rain fall on the ground, and his expression on his face was very solemn.
Two figures suddenly appeared in front of the rain curtain, and then Zhu Houzhao came over with Zhang Yong. He was very happy to see Jiang Xia, Zhu Houzhao. He didn't even wait for Zhang Yong to hold an umbrella for him. He rushed to Jiang Xia in the rain and grabbed Jiang Xia's arm and said excitedly: "Brother, it's amazing! It's amazing!"
"The old men in the cabinet finally agreed to let Jiang Bin be the commander of the four towns of Xuanfu. This time I was so happy, and I finally got proud."
Zhu Houzhao was excited, but Jiang Xia looked cold. He looked up at Zhu Houzhao and asked lightly: "Why do you need to issue an imperial edict?"
"Ah? What imperial edict?" Zhu Houzhao was slightly surprised and didn't understand what Jiang Xia meant.
Jiang Xia suddenly raised his voice and asked loudly: "Why do you need to issue an imperial edict? Why? Why do you need to issue an imperial edict to rebuke Wang Nianru and Guo Ziqing?"
When Zhu Houzhao met Jiang Xia for the first time, he said blankly: "I...I checked it. They are really miserable. Besides, you also told this in the newspaper. I can't ignore it, right? And Guo Ziqing, he has often poured you dirty water on your back. I just vented my anger for you."
Jiang Xia took a deep breath and said, "Although Guo Ziqing has splashed dirty water, he will not die of sin. Even if I want to teach him a lesson, I will not use this method of exposing people. The reason why I exploded that the two of them came out was just to use them to divert the attention of the public opinion of the people. Next, I will clean them up. But your imperial edict will directly make them never turn over.
A man never married a woman for the rest of his life, and a woman guards the archway of chastity and wants to marry but dare not. We forced them to death with such tormented two people."
"Forcing them to death...them?" Zhu Houzhao looked confused.
Jiang Xia slowly closed his eyes and whispered: "Wang Nianru, Guo Ziqing committed suicide. Don't tell me that you didn't guess such a result, I don't believe it..."
ps: The fourth update, it was not embarrassing.
