Chapter 1312 Complete change
This thing is very ordinary, or in Zhu Yicheng's eyes, there is no need to look at it carefully.
Because this article is written about the "black material" about the Qing Dynasty, that is, the articles that criticize the Qing Dynasty and further down on the Qing Dynasty.
This kind of article appeared when the Ming Dynasty restored the country. Zhu Yicheng asked Wang Jingqi to write "The Secret News of the Qing Palace" to set a precedent for such articles.
"The Secret News of the Qing Palace" was very popular back then, and it can be said that it has spread all over the world and is talked about by everyone who has read it.
As for Chinese people, what they lack the least is the common people who "pursuing the truth". Moreover, this book also describes the unknown secrets of the Qing Palace from all aspects, so how can people not let go of it?
Even after it was spread to the Qing Dynasty, many Manchus made a book because of curiosity and closed the door and privately "read and research". It was not until Kangxi finally found out that Thunder Ting was furious and executed several people and ordered the ban on the book. Only then did he barely stop the spread of the book in the north.
But the suspension is only on the surface. I am afraid that there are countless people who have read it in private. The Ming Dynasty also borrowed this book to make the prestige of the Qing Dynasty plummet, fundamentally shaking the Qing Dynasty's rule.
In addition, in addition to the "Qing Palace Secrets", the Ming Dynasty also published many similar books in the later period, such as "I've been in the Qing Dynasty for 30 years", "What I See in the Qing Dynasty Officialdom", "What Is a Real Slave", "The Orthodox Treatise on the Throne of the Qing Dynasty", etc. Some of these things were written by the Propaganda Department, while others were simply written by those original Qing officials during the labor reform process.
Although the contents are true or false, or more false, it still has a great impact because of some evidence support and the writing of the parties involved.
Although this department is not very prominent among the various departments of the court, it cannot be denied that the propaganda department has a great role. It is precisely because of these propaganda of the Propaganda Department that the rapid collapse of the Qing Dynasty in the Central Plains rule, and at the same time it completely knocked the Qing Dynasty from a high-ranking ruler to dust.
With the continuous prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, especially after completely occupying the Central Plains, the "dirty water" behavior of the Propaganda Department against the Qing Dynasty began to gradually decrease, and the main work gradually shifted to other directions.
However, because the Qing Dynasty had not yet completely destroyed, these tasks were reduced but not completely abolished. Moreover, for the needs of "unified front", the Ming Dynasty's court still used this method to "transform" those who had been officials and generals in the Qing Dynasty in the later period, so that they could completely break with the Qing Dynasty and move towards rebirth.
These methods were determined by Zhu Yicheng back then, and they proved very good results in these years. Now, they have become a long-term implementation system of the Ming Dynasty. In Zhu Yicheng's view, the successful experience of later generations proved the effect of this method, how can it not be used? Moreover, even after the Qing Dynasty was completely destroyed, the Ming Dynasty would not have no enemies. There were two powerful enemies in Tibet and the Western Regions. If the Ming Dynasty wanted to take down these two places, these methods still needed to continue.
What's more, in addition to the Ming Dynasty, there are also overseas, and there are also competitions and struggles in the cooperation between the Ming Dynasty and the Western world. This world is big, and it is also very small. With the revival of the Ming Dynasty and its violent expansion overseas, the division of the entire world has reached its final stage.
Once the world is divided, wars between the East and the West are likely to break out for their respective interests and spheres of influence, and by then these propaganda methods can still be used.
The thing Zhu Yicheng looked at today was written by Tian Wenjing. After Tian Wenjing defected to the Ming Dynasty, he was sent to the capital from the northwest. According to the customs of the Ming Dynasty, it was naturally necessary for Tian Wenjing and others to expose and criticize the dark side of the Qing Dynasty and reflect on themselves.
Compared to others, Tian Wenjing began to resist this, especially when they had not arrived in the capital, the Propaganda Department used Tian Wenjing and his fellow submission to the Ming Dynasty to make a big fuss. It was precisely this incident that made Tian Wenjing extremely dissatisfied.
Tian Wenjing praised himself as a gentleman. In his opinion, although he defected to the Ming Dynasty, he did not want to attack the Qing Dynasty in this way. After all, he was a Qing minister. As a gentleman and a Qing minister, doing this was extremely immoral and despised. Therefore, when others began to write these articles when facing the Ming Dynasty's request, Tian Wenjing did not write a word at all, and he was still yelling that the Ming Dynasty's actions were not a king's act, etc.
Zhu Yicheng didn't care about Tian Wenjing's transformation at the beginning, but just asked the people below to continue the matter. It was necessary to completely change Tian Wenjing's wrong view and re-establish his correct world view and life outlook.
As the orthodox Han court, the Ming Dynasty court of the Ming Dynasty must, of course, treat diseases and save people astray, which has always been Zhu Yicheng's opinion. Therefore, Tian Wenjing has been through this teaching for more than half a year, and Zhu Yicheng did not ask about the process and changes.
But now, Zhu Yicheng actually saw the things written by Tian Wenjing. If it were not possible to write about the dark side of the Qing Dynasty, it would have been impossible to write about it before.
When Zhu Yicheng read this article carefully, he was even more surprised. Because in the article, Tian Wenjing not only saw the complete change in his thoughts, but also used extremely sharp brushwork to conduct in-depth analysis of the ancestors of the 18th generation of the Qing Dynasty to the present, and finally refuted them one by one to be useless.
In addition, Tian Wenjing finally seriously criticized his previous mistakes and established a correct outlook on the world and outlook on life. Tian Wenjing scolded himself so hard that he was even worse than drinking his pigs and dogs.
Afterwards, Tian Wenjing used a lot of pens and ink to boast about the prosperous Ming Dynasty, showing his great support and loyalty to Zhu Yicheng. This article was filled with thousands of words, and the words were all over the sky. After reading it, Zhu Yicheng's pores stretched out all over his body, as if they were as comfortable as eating ginseng fruit.
"Okay! Well written!"
Zhu Yicheng was so furious that he had to admit that Tian Wenjing did have two tricks to write these things. Perhaps his literary talent was not as good as Wang Jingqi and others, but his pen tip was eighty-point level as Mr. Lu Xun in later generations.
Zhu Yicheng agreed and knew in his heart that the reason why Tian Wenjing wrote these things was because of the transformation, and his transformation was so thorough now, which really surprised Zhu Yicheng, but when he thought about his evaluation of Tian Wenjing in history, Zhu Yicheng also understood a little.
Tian Wenjing is a capable official, so there is no need to discuss this. At the same time, Tian Wenjing is also an expert in hugging his thighs. He may have gone through the words of hugging his thighs. It would be more appropriate to be loyal to the emperor.
In history, Tian Wenjing knew that he had no backstage and his personality was not sociable, so Tian Wenjing had not many friends in the officialdom, and his tough methods of acting offended many people. For this reason, Tian Wenjing simply became a "lonely minister" that is, to obey the emperor's orders. Anyway, he was responsible to the emperor, and he would do whatever the emperor asked him to do, and he would do it well and do it to death.
It is precisely because of this that Yongzheng in history praised Tian Wenjing very much, and later Tian Wenjing was called one of the famous officials of the Yongzheng Dynasty. Now Tian Wenjing does this for this reason. When Tian Wenjing thinks it through, he completely takes his say and starts to look for Zhu Yicheng's thighs to hug him.
