Chapter 345 Prince Yu’s Attitude
Lu Bing.
Zhu Zaijing has known this person's name for a long time, but this is the first time Zhu Zaijing has seen him in these years since he traveled through time.
Lu Bing went straight to his residence without any notice, and he did so in such a grand manner, which made Zhu Zaijing, who had always had a good temper, couldn't help but feel cold in his eyes.
But Zhu Zaijing soon restrained his eyes. Zhu Zaijing laughed and said: "It turns out to be Commander Lu, please get up quickly."
Zhu Zaijing stood up to greet him and helped Lu Bingxu, who was bowing to him, up.
Lu Bing stood up and faced Zhu Zaijing and said again: "Your Majesty, I have come here with an imperial edict. If I am rude in any way, please forgive me."
Zhu Zaijing smiled and said : "Commander Lu is joking, you are under the emperor's order, how can you be rude? Commander, please declare the order."
Zhu Zaijing took a step back and gave up the home court to Lu Bing.
At this time, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, Hai Rui, Zhao Zhenji, Li Chunfang and others in the front hall also quickly stood up and stood behind Zhu Zaijing. The order of their positions was also clear.
This shows that the current Yuwang small team is gradually taking shape.
Lu Bing saw this and felt a little emotional in his heart.
Although King Jing's affairs are top secret, it is definitely not a secret to Lu Bing.
Therefore, Lu Bing immediately put away his previous "disrespectful" attitude and said politely to Zhu Zaijing: "Your Majesty, it's just a verbal instruction, don't be so nervous."
< br>Zhu Zaijing also clearly felt Lu Bing's changes, but Zhu Zaijing didn't know why Lu Bing became so arrogant and then respectful. Is there some social routine that he didn't know about?
Obviously, this is also a bit unnatural.
But this is not the time for Zhu Zaijing to think about human nature.
Zhu Zaijing said: "Since it is your Majesty's oral message, it is also an imperial edict. As the son of a man, I should be the representative of the world. I must not be disrespectful at all. Please command the envoy to pronounce the edict normally."
Looking at Zhu Zaijing's attitude, Lu Bing did not waste any more time on this matter.
Lu Bing bowed slightly to Zhu Zaijing again, and then stood at the top of the front hall.
"There is an oral message!"
Zhu Zaijing and others bowed: "Blessings to the Holy Spirit."
Lu Bing raised his hands in the direction of where Emperor Jiajing was walking and bowed: "Blessings to you."< br>
After receiving Lu Bing, a formal oral announcement was made: "I ordered King Yu to investigate the water leakage in Xiyuan in Beijing, and Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, assisted. This is it."
Zhu Zaijing Hearing this imperial edict, his expression was obviously startled. He never expected that Emperor Jiajing would issue such an edict.
Zhu Zaijing was stunned for a moment, and then bowed: "I obey the decree."
Then Lu Bing walked away from the first place and asked Zhu Zaijing to return to the main seat to take charge of the overall situation.
Zhu Zaijing looked at Lu Gong, Gao Gong and others. Zhu Zaijing took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, Commander Lu. If I have done anything inappropriate, please ask Commander Lu for your help." "
Lu Bing said, "I am willing to serve the prince." Zhu Zaijing said, "The incident of water leakage in Xiyuan is a serious matter, and the palace that was burned is the palace where your majesty always lives. The king asked the Royal Horse Supervisor to seal all the palace gates last night. Now that His Majesty's decree has arrived, the king asked Commander Lu to take over the water leakage in Xiyuan Palace. He must hurry up before the emperor returns to the capital. The result.”
After Lu Bing heard Zhu Zaijing's arrangement, he bowed again: "I obey."
Then Zhu Zaijing said to Hai Rui: "Hai Rui, you are responsible for the investigation outside the capital. If anything suspicious is found, People can be arrested first.”
Hai Rui, who was standing aside, didn’t expect that Zhu Zaijing would also send him a mission.
Hai Rui was stunned for a moment, and then bowed to Zhu Zaijing solemnly: "I obey."
Then Zhu Zaijing said to Gao Gong and others: " Whether the incident in Xiyuan was accidental or deliberate, the public opinion inside and outside the capital must be in chaos. As officials of the imperial court, you should set an example and not spread any unfavorable rumors. Therefore, I now grant the order. You guys have the right to temporarily control public opinion. There are some strange forces and chaos in the capital, but there are words that reflect the important officials of the imperial court. You can also ask the Shuntian Mansion and the troops of the five cities to arrest the people who spread the rumors."
After Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, Zhao Zhenji, Li Chunfang and others heard Zhu Zaijing's order, the four of them were obviously a little stunned.
Although the Ming Dynasty also had such things like actively controlling public opinion, this was the first time it was done so directly and clearly.
Gao Gong said cautiously: "Your Majesty, it is better to defend the people's mouth than to defend the river. There are some things that cannot be stopped from the people's mouth."
Zhu Zaijing said: "I asked you to stop it. Are the people talking? I am the one who asked you to monitor the rumors. Although the ancients said: "Rumors stop at the wise", but how many wise men in the world are just people who follow what others say? Naturally, I don’t have the ability to stop their words, but I can still deal with those who fabricate facts and spread rumors about Xiyuan’s escape.”
As a time traveler, Zhu Zaijing. The understanding of public opinion is naturally better than that of ancient elites like Gao Gong.
Although these people will also use their status as scholars intentionally or unintentionally to do some public opinion actions that interfere with the world's understanding.
But their behavior is often carried out unconsciously or disorderly.
Many times they can guide public opinion in a certain direction, but rarely have the ability to control public opinion.
So ancient elites like Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and others, even if they were officials and held a high position, they were easily passive when fighting for public opinion in key positions.
Therefore, often at critical moments of choice in history, their fate is often full of dramatic tragedy.
So now Zhu Zaijing wants to teach them a lesson in person and let them see what public opinion control is.
Moreover, this is a natural type of public opinion control, unlike those who are so rough that they only roughly block accounts and solve the problems of people who raise problems.
After all, what Gao Gong said is right.
It is better to defend the people than to defend the river.
But if you want to prevent some unfavorable rumors and rumors, you cannot let them go unchecked. You must strategically and proactively attack a group of leading sources of rumors and publish their crimes in public, and can state the facts clearly.
Otherwise, if you just "clarify" the rumors and ignore the original basis of the facts, you are digging your own grave!
The common people are not fools. As long as the facts are sufficient, they will make tortuous judgments of right and wrong.
So, if you want to clarify some so-called rumors in a way that distorts the facts, it is better to just shut up and play dead from the beginning.
After all, the eyes of the masses are sharp.
When there is enough evidence as a factual basis, if there are still people who want to be clever, want to be a reasonable person, analyze and teach others to refute rumors and clear up doubts.
Then this kind of people are simply more sinister than murderers, because their appearance is to challenge the moral bottom line and distort the justice and kindness of human nature!
