Chapter 31 Mutation (Part 1) "Zhu of the Fuxing Society is still the lifelong leader, and his descendants will succeed him."
At the same time, Zhu Chongjiu looked at Lu Kun, Zhang Song, Luo Ben, and a young man named Gao Qi in the Grand Manager's Mansion, with a face filled with astonishment.
In the short few months since I was away on the war, a "political party" actually appeared in Huaiyang.
Although they call themselves a literary society whose purpose is to discuss poetry and comment on current affairs.
But in fact, regardless of its organizational structure or its association program, except for the hereditary leader, the rest are not much different from the party in Zhu Dapeng's memory.
"Please, my lord, please forgive me for the crime of neglect in my humble position."
Zhang Song, the head of the Internal Affairs Department, would never dare to mix himself with other people.
He stepped forward and gave a salute, rushing to clarify, "I have discovered that Master Lu a few months ago.
They joined forces with Gao Jiao Yu and a hundred or so students to confront corrupt scholars from all over the country in newspapers.
However, their subordinates initially thought that they were trying to cultivate morality with their articles, and their articles did indeed attack the arrogance of corrupt scholars from all over the country, making the government and the public aware of them.
It was a new sight.
Therefore, the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not pay much attention to this matter until a few days ago, when the Fuxing Society organized people to welcome him at the dock.
The scale has become so huge.
However, because there are so many people involved in this society, there is no precedent for this in any previous dynasty, and I don’t know how to deal with it, so I specially made an appointment with several key members of the society to come to the lord for a decision."
In a few words, he clearly explained the ins and outs of Fuxing Society, and at the same time, he also took away all his own responsibilities.
The Fuxing Society was indeed a literary society in the beginning, and it has always been campaigning for the new policies of the General Administration.
There is no need for the Internal Affairs Department to trouble them.
Later, even though it was discovered that the Literary Society had quickly turned into a behemoth that brought together many officials, scholars, traders, and enthusiastic young people, the Internal Affairs Office did not have the courage to look for trouble.
After all, the two deputy leaders were Zhu Chongjiu's father-in-law and his confidant.
No matter a slap from either of them, it would make him miserable.
"The original purpose of forming the association was indeed just to rectify the origins and restore the original teachings of the saints."
Before Zhu Chongjiu could say anything, Lu Kun quickly stepped forward and explained to his son-in-law with a blushing face.
Although according to seniority, he is Zhu Chongjiu's father-in-law.
But since ancient times, all dynasties have been very disgusted with foreign relatives interfering in politics.
By creating such a large faction at once, he didn't want to cause Zhu Chongjiu's misunderstanding, which would affect Lu Shuang'er's status in the "harem".
"It was the humble minister's idea to open the doors of the Fuxing Society and recruit heroes."
Facing Zhu Chongjiu, the governor of Yangzhou, Luo Ben, was much more calm.
He understood Zhu Chongjiu's nature, and at the same time believed that as long as what he did was out of public interest, even if it was not in line with his master's wishes, the most he could do was to dissolve the Fuxing Society, and he would never be punished too severely.
"Wei Chen witnessed the assassination of our lord a few months ago, and retreated to investigate the cause.
He found that this was caused by the confusion of public opinion in the outside world, and the audio-visual chaos within the Huaiyang General Manager's Office."
He looked at the other few Looking at the expression on his companion's face, Robben continued to add loudly, "Therefore, the humble minister thought that he wanted to avoid giving the opportunity to those who were too young to take advantage of him.
If there is no opportunity, just relying on the military intelligence and the internal affairs department to guard it, I am afraid there will still be many omissions.
It is better to take action directly, form a society, seek the correct explanation of the ancient sage's secrets, and make friends with the elites of industry, agriculture and business, and make corrupt scholars.
Xiaoxiao and other people with ulterior motives could no longer find a place to start, and they had already lost the opportunity before fighting."
Note 1.
This sentence is indeed profound.
To use the rhetoric of Zhu Dapeng's contemporaries, the reason why Zhu Chongjiu was assassinated a few months ago was apparently due to Hu Dahai's incompetence in teaching his son and Xu Da's hiring mistakes.
In fact, the real reason is that the external public opinion is disrupted by the corrupt Confucianism in the world, and the internal people's hearts are also in chaos.
And just relying on the meticulous work of the Military Intelligence and Internal Affairs Offices and strict defense, it is inevitable that the same omissions will appear in the future.
Therefore, it is better to take the initiative and compete with corrupt Confucians for the right to interpret the essence of traditional Confucianism and seize the commanding heights of public opinion.
On the one hand, they formed official and private associations to form an academic and political mixture similar to the "Luo School" and "Guan School" in the past, relying on the power of everyone to crush the conspiracy and conspiracy of the hostile parties.
However, among the people present, who knows more about the political party than Zhu Zhongjiu, who has a memory of two generations?
The earlier it is, the greater the uncertainty.
Especially in an era when information transmission is underdeveloped and scholars are relatively rare, the harm may far outweigh the benefit to a country.
The most obvious example is Donglin in the late Ming Dynasty.

The slogan was extremely righteous, but in fact it became a tool for a few shameless people to attack dissidents, plunder wealth, and finally even destroyed the entire country.
It doesn’t matter whether the Jurchens knock at the gate or not, and it doesn’t matter where Li Zicheng hits, as long as the guard does not comply with Dong Lin’s wishes, he will be put in prison decisively.
It doesn’t matter whether the treasury is empty or not, whether the people can afford to eat well or not, as long as the decree affects the income of the benefactors behind the scenes, it will definitely be destroyed in the court.
Although since the Qing Dynasty, official scholars have believed that the Ming Dynasty fell due to the emperor's incompetence.
However, among the people of Zhu Dapeng's time, many people loudly proposed that the Ming Dynasty actually died in Donglin.
When the Donglin Party puts its own interests above the entire nation and the interests of all people, it harms not just a few political opponents and a few eunuchs, but the entire Ming Dynasty Note 2 Therefore, under the influence of Zhu Dapeng, although Zhu Chongjiu used the black cat and white cat theory to the extreme in order to strengthen Huaiyang by any means, the only thing he did not dare to use was to introduce the various political party systems of Zhu Dapeng's era into Huaiyang.
Come on.
The Federalist Party, the Republican Party, or even the weird Green Party, no matter which one they are, he is not sure that he can eventually lead them in a direction that is beneficial to the country and the nation, and he is not sure that when the core figures in this party When they all turn from idealists to people in power, there are still a few people who can remember their original intentions.
However, today, Lu Kun, Luo Ben and others secretly placed the monster in front of him that he tried to avoid.
He was immediately in a dilemma.
It is true that with the strength and prestige he currently possesses, disbanding the Fuxing Society is just a matter of waving his hand.
However, this wave of hands will definitely make countless people with lofty ideals feel cold and make countless passionate young people lose the direction of their struggle in an instant.
What he even directly destroyed was the politics of equality that he had always been keen to achieve.
And allowing it to continue to grow and develop, Zhu Chongjiu didn't know how to guide and control it so that it wouldn't go in the opposite direction of his original ideal.
He had no experience managing such a large political faction and had no idea where to start.
He didn't even know how to exercise the power of his "alliance leader".
He only knew that what he had at the moment was definitely a double-edged sword.
It instantly became much easier to hack an opponent to death, and it would probably be very easy to commit suicide as well.
"The Fuxing Society has a total of 2,743 members.
The common people have brought the roster, the society's outline and the temporary internal longitude and latitude.
Please take a look at it."
Seeing Zhu Chongjiu's face becoming more and more solemn, Gao Qi also bit the bullet and took half a step forward. , holding a large stack of documents in both hands.
"The theories about "Yuan Jun" and "Yuan Confucianism" in the newspapers were all made by you, right?"
Zhu Chongjiu raised his brows quickly, stretched out his hand to take the document, and asked smoothly.
Since the birth of Fuxing Society was related to the initial public opinion war, someone present must be Qingqiuzi, the author of those most important articles.
As far as he understood, the articles written by either Lu Kun or Luo Ben were all smooth and steady, and they would never be as hearty and generous as those in "Yuan Ru" and "Yuan Jun".
Those popular articles were full of the unique vigor of young people.
Therefore, Qingqiuzi could only be Gao Qi, who looked younger than Ruoguan.
Or Qingqiuzi is not a person, but a group of young talents headed by Gao Qi.
Sure enough, it was as he expected.
Hearing him mention the two famous articles Yuan Jun and Yuan Ru, Gao Qi's face immediately started to turn red, and he raised his hand several times before responding in a very low voice, "I don't dare to deceive the chief manager.
Those two shabby articles are indeed out of It’s the hands of the grassroots, but it was Mr.
Lu who first put forward the program, and the grassroots worked hard to implement it.
The grassroots, the grassroots really don’t dare to take credit for it alone.”
"The article is indeed very well written.
Zhu has read it and appreciates many of its views."
Zhu Chongjiu put aside documents such as the Fuxing Society's roster, program, and internal organizational structure strategy, and encouraged with a smile.
"You might as well write more articles like this in the future.
If the General Administration wants to implement the New Deal, it must let the world know where the New Deal comes from and what it is."
"The common people obey," Gao Qi was overjoyed and immediately bowed and saluted.
"You are just teaching now."
Zhu Chongjiu helped him politely, and then asked with a smile.
"Caomin used to study at Jixian Hall, and recently went to the university to teach."
Gao Qi thought for a while and answered very carefully.
"Being a teacher is too humiliating.

Zhu needs someone to join the army.
I wonder if Qingqiuzi would be willing to do it."
Zhu Chongjiu shook his head and extended the invitation with a smile.
When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.
Who doesn't know that General Manager Zhu's staff headquarters is the place that best cultivates talents.
Anyone who has served in the army, no matter what level they are, can almost stand alone as long as they are released.
For example, Luo Ben, Chen Ji, Feng Guoyong and Liu Bowen all joined the army for a period of time at the earliest, and were entrusted with important tasks almost instantly.
"Common people, common people, common people are willing to die for the General Manager."
Under the eager eyes of everyone, Gao Qi bowed and saluted again.
"Let's join the army to declare the government first.
The main responsibility is to draft documents for Zhu and publicize our Huaiyang government decree."
Zhu Chongjiu stretched out his hand to help him up and announced with a smile, "The rank is the same as that of Minglu and Zhongbing.
He is temporarily under the general staff of the Privy Council.
The Ministry of Defense dispatches you to accompany Zhu on this northern expedition.
In addition to your own duties, you will also need to spend some time. and energy to clarify the purpose, mission and future development direction of Fuxing Society, instead of just writing a superficial thing for Zhu to review, since we have done it, we must show it.
Not only do I, the leader of the alliance, sound like a green forest bandit, but you members cannot stand proud in front of the world."
"Yes, I will live up to my humble position and live up to the trust of the chief manager."
Gao Qi bowed down again, his shoulders shaking slightly.
Note 1: Public opinion first came from the Jin Dynasty, "Since ancient times, sages have been happy to hear slander and listen to the opinions of public opinion."
During the Three Kingdoms period, the meaning of public opinion in Chinese was almost the same as it is now.
According to the biography of Wei Wanglang in the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms: "Without his arrogance and ruthlessness, he would have no ambition.
Those who are afraid of the failure of public opinion will cherish Yiyi."
