Chapter 336: Give Him a Taste of His Own Medicine

Zhu Youjian used an imperial edict to crack the ultimate killer move of the Donglin Party. Public opinion was one-sided. Although the image of the Donglin Party was damaged, the Donglin Party had been operating for many years and had built a good reputation.

In addition, Emperor Chongzhen had been smeared by them for many years, and it had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of ordinary people. In the short term, it was still impossible to shake the foundation of the Donglin Party.

Zhu Youjian also knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. This matter could only be played slowly. As long as he got the chance, he would definitely do it to death. The less one he could kill, the less one he could.

Although the ultimate move of the Donglin Party failed, they still did not give up. They still used newspapers and other media to play word games, trying to mislead ordinary people who could not read, which made him feel disgusted.

Counterattack is necessary, but how to counterattack, you have to think carefully. Didn't Qian Qianyi just come over? Then give him a chance, hehe.

"Your Majesty, I think we can use their methods to help them, or we can transplant flowers and trees." Qian Qianyi thought seriously for a long time before answering carefully.

He knew very well that this was a major test from the emperor. If he could not pass the test, he, the Minister of Revenue who had just taken office for a few days, would be removed from office at any time, or even dismissed and idle.

There were many people who wanted his life, especially the Donglin Party, who wanted to kill him immediately. If he lost the powerful amulet of the court officials, the Donglin Party would kill him in a minute.

Either he would be killed by his enemies, or he would cling to the emperor's thick dragon legs, continue to be promoted, enter the cabinet, and reach the peak of his life.

It was said to be a choice between the two, but in fact there was no room for choice at all. Even idiots knew how to choose. Since the Donglin Party was unkind and even wanted his life, don't blame him for being cruel.

"Hmm." Zhu Youjian frowned and waved his hand to signal him to continue. What annoyed him most was the bad habit of these civil servants who said half and kept the other half, making you have to guess.

"The Donglin Party is best at standing on the moral high ground, guiding and using public opinion to achieve its goals. It only needs to be replaced by a trick to resolve it. If you want to fight back, you can do the same to them."

Qian Qianyi explained carefully that the trick of replacing flowers and trees is very simple. As long as you bring out a major event and attract everyone's attention, you can resolve the offensive of the Donglin Party. This is a simple defensive means.

Using the same method to return the favor is a counterattack. It must not only be fierce, but also hit the key points directly, and slap the Donglin Party members in the face.

"It's still better to slap the face."

Zhu Youjian understood what Qian Qianyi meant. The trick of replacing flowers and trees has been played out in another time and space. Some celebrities have caused scandals. In order to divert the attention of netizens, they broke out a bigger melon and successfully escaped. He just didn't think of it for a while.

Passive defense is not his style. He must fight back fiercely and slap the Donglin Party members in the face to vent the anger that has been accumulated in his chest.

"Qian Aiqing, can you finish your words at once? I don't like to be too ambitious and won't take away other people's credit. As long as you have the ability, just make contributions, and don't worry about shocking the emperor. The greater your contributions, the more I like you."

Zhu Youjian was very upset by Qian Qianyi's habit of saying half and leaving half, so he simply told him clearly, don't play this game with me, I don't like it, I like straightforwardness.

"I understand, please forgive me, Your Majesty." Qian Qianyi apologized quickly, but he was relieved.

Recalling the past and some of the emperor's styles of doing things, he now seems to understand the emperor's character. If this is the case, he will not be afraid to be trembling with fear when the emperor and his subjects get along in the future, for fear of angering the emperor.

Zhu Youjian waved his hand, which was considered as forgiving him and also signaling him to make his point clear quickly. I am really a little impatient.

"Deputy Censor Zhou Sichang."

Qian Qianyi hurriedly said a name and then explained that Deputy Censor Zhou Sichang has always regarded himself as an honest official and was also a banner of integrity raised by the Donglin Party among the people. As long as evidence of Zhou Sichang's corruption and bribery is found, not only will the Donglin Party's offensive be broken, but their reputation will also be smashed and their faces will be slapped hard.

"Xuantian Boguang."
