Chapter 237 Public Opinion Trend
At the Duke of Qin's mansion, Li Xiu read a secret memorial sent by the Jinyiwei.
These secret memorials undoubtedly represent the true direction of public opinion in the court and the public. From the direction of public opinion in the capital, we can obviously see the direction of public opinion in most of the world.
Of course, Jiangnan is an exception.
Jiangnan was the old nest of the gentry in Donglin, and Donglin has now been almost squeezed out of the court center. In this way, the public opinion in the capital will naturally not affect Jiangnan.
Of course, Jiangnan cannot affect the capital.
It is precisely because of this that the public opinion trend in Jiangnan has already boiled, and it can be called a complete dance of demons.
However, in the court today, few people care about Donglin's self-interest, the ruling class is sound, and the central authority has won several great victories, just at the moment of great power.
The center is everything. As for the losers in the power struggle, who cares!
Even though the court officials were already breathless under the oppression of Li Xiu, few of them were willing to contact Donglin for a joint investigation.
After all, when Donglin was in power, suppressing court officials who did not belong to Donglin was much more fierce than the eunuch party.
Of course, the most important thing is that after several purges by Zhu Youjian and Li Xiu, the court today has become mainstream.
These people obviously don't have any colds about Donglin's trick.
Li Xiu was even less interested in Donglin.
After all, if he wants to reorganize the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, Jiangnan is an indispensable part and cannot be lost.
To gain the prosperity of Jiangnan and to make the prosperity of Jiangnan for his use, Donglin, an interest group representing the gentry and businessmen in Jiangnan, is also an unavoidable blockade.
Anything that involves interests is destined to be impossible to properly resolve...
Since he was destined to use a knife, he naturally didn't care about the public opinion trend in Jiangnan. After all, if the knife moves, he doesn't know what it will be smeared...
But he had to care about the direction of public opinion in the capital.
He has great power, so the assistance of the central officials is indispensable.
"Zhuge Liang, Zhao Kuangyin, Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo..."
Li Xiu put down the secret song in his hand and muttered to himself.
The four names are also enough to completely represent the public opinion trend of the government and the opposition.
The emperor's will, he has great power and assisted the country in governing the country, has become a fact and cannot be changed.
No matter how unwilling the capital, all officials have to admit this fact.
Under such circumstances, the public opinion trend is naturally impossible to be as chaotic as Jiangnan, and the concerns about the future account for the majority.
But it is very obvious that as long as he has the power for a day, it will be destined, and the worries of the ministers cannot be eliminated.
At this point, Li Xiu was suddenly stunned.
Now, the government and the country are worried, checks and balances are full of resistance.
But... it is very obvious that as time goes by, this check and balance and resistance are destined to become weaker and even disappear.
By then, the real power will be in control and the Ming Dynasty will be completely held...
he……
Can you still maintain your true heart?
Can he still fulfill his promise?
Or, can he be willing to give up the right in his hand?
Or, if the emperor is suspicious, can he sit and wait for death?
All kinds of thoughts flashed in my mind, and Li Xiu's expression also seemed a little gloomy and uncertain.
After a long time, Li Xiu came back to his senses from the chaotic thoughts in his mind.
Looking up at the dazzling starry sky, Li Xiu was also speechless.
Now he... has no answer to these questions.
All he can do is follow the established track and go step by step. As for the future... he can only choose to leave it to the future... or try to avoid...
"Brother Xiu, Brother Xiu!"
Just as Li Xiu was thinking a lot, Erwazi's carefree voice suddenly came to his ears.
"Why are you back?"
Seeing the second child who was stroking and looking around, Li Xiu was also stunned.
The expeditionary army is still on the way back to Beijing. It is a day to count, but it is not yet on its arrival.
"Hehe, I heard that Brother Xiu, you are now assisting in the country and governing the country. I want to come back quickly to see if I can help Brother Xiu."
After saying that, Erwazi seemed to have thought of something and quickly added: "I have asked for instructions, Brother Xiu, you agree too!"
"Ask a message?"
Li Xiu frowned. There are so many things recently that he really has no impression of it.
"I really asked for instructions!"
Erwazi suddenly became anxious. If he refused to admit his conscience, then he would be beaten again as the commander of the Ming Dynasty, the commander of the Jizhen Town!
"It's just the Mongolian tribes that offer gifts, Brother Xiu, you agreed!"
"I remember this!"
Li Xiu then suddenly realized, nodded, picked up the teapot, poured a cup, handed it to Erwazi, and asked casually:
"What has Mongolia offered?"
"What else can we do? We just have some war horses, cattle and sheep. We have paid more of these!"
Erwazi took off the tea in one sip and waved his hand indifferently.
After saying that, Erwazi seemed to remember something, and suddenly smiled mysteriously: "Brother Xiu, there is really something good!"
"What?"
Li Xiu raised his eyebrows. He knew Erwazi's temperament. What he thought was good things were often different from ordinary people.
"Ahem..."
Erwazi coughed a few times, but after a while, he leaned over to Li Xiu again: "I'll agree first, let's share the blessings together, and I'll score two!"
"Female?"
Seeing Erwazi's appearance, Li Xiu immediately became a little clear.
"Hehe, Brother Xiu, you are so amazing, you can guess this!"
"Barring, what you think of this lust all day long, really think I don't know!"
Li Xiu kicked Erwazi angrily: "I haven't settled the score with you for those dirty things you did in Ji Town!"
"Brother Xiu, this is really unfair. I am a dignified concubine, but I didn't force anything!"
Erwazi was kicked and repeatedly shouted injustice!
"You still know that you are taking a concubine, a dignified marquis, who is jealous of others for a brothel woman, fights in the street, and takes her as a concubine. You have lost all my face!"
"I...I didn't delay the official business..."
Erwazi held it in for a long time, and finally only squeezed out this sentence.
"If you really delay the business, you are ready to go back to the capital to hold your marquis and spend your life!"
"That's definitely not. Brother Xiu, don't worry. I will definitely take charge of Ji Town, the number one town in the world, hehe!"
Looking at Erwazi's silly appearance, Li Xiu was speechless and waved his hand in anger.
Seeing this, Erwazi's eyes lit up and she called out of the courtyard. Then, more than a dozen graceful women wearing tulle faces walked into the courtyard.
Just the face that looms under the tulle and this graceful figure, there is no doubt that each one can be regarded as stunning.
Of course, it is not a stunning beauty, and those Mongolian tribes will not offer it. Otherwise, it will not offer it, but will cause trouble for itself.
"Whoever you like, take it away."
Li Xiu looked around and waved his hand casually.
"It's so sir, I'm better obey my duty than respect!"
Erwazi was not polite in this lust. He pulled two women out of the yard in a hurry, leaving Li Xiu standing in front of these graceful women like a beauty pageant.
Of course, for Li Xiu, there are naturally no choices.
As long as he thinks, everything is his.
He is not a saint, but his beauty is also his hobby.
He won't treat himself badly when it comes to enjoying this.
Sleepless all night, moaning softly... The clouds and rain never stop...
The exotic style really makes people nostalgic...
