Chapter 123 I am just a clerk

Overnight, rumors began to boil over.

Especially the black turtle, the story of such a heavy iron lump floating up and touching the embankment is so miraculous.

Who would believe that there was no one behind the scenes fanning the flames?

The rumor has already spread, and it is not easy to identify the source of the rumor, and forcible suppression is likely to backfire.

When they were in a dilemma, they both thought of the Sixth Princess.

Unexpectedly, Qin Zhaoyue looked calm and opened his mouth with two words: simple.

"Sister, tell me quickly, what's the solution?"

"Ordinary methods are time-consuming and laborious, so you should be more open-minded.

The goal is to resolve this issue as quickly as possible, and the main goal is to see who is more shameless.

Fight fire with fire, understand?"

Seeing their ignorant appearance, Qin Zhaoyue sighed and quickly put down his chopsticks.

“I’ll give you a few examples, and you can see for yourself.

A butcher at a busy market cut open the belly of a fish and found a piece of cloth with blood-stained words on it: "Ming Huang Dang Sheng";

Suddenly, a group of turtles came ashore at Yuchuan Wharf, with the inscription "The Holy Mother is here, the imperial cause will last forever" on their backs.

When the eldest sister led the army to provide disaster relief, a sacred deer, all snow-white, knelt down and bowed its head in salute, then circled the army three times and left;

Suddenly, in the pitch-black night, the wind and clouds began to surge, and the Yin-Yang Bagua pattern appeared in the sky...

Understand? "

Qin Zhaoqiong opened her mouth in a state of complete humiliation, unable to utter a word.

Yinzhe's beautiful eyes frequently glanced towards the opposite side. These things... are taboo.

But it must be said that if this method is implemented, the rumors will indeed be quelled quickly.

Regardless of whether the people believe it or not, the worst result is nothing more than muddying the waters.

With so many strange phenomena, what's so surprising about the stories of the black turtle and the river god?

Qin Zhaoyue looked back at Yinzhe calmly: "The Xuanji Guards are professionals in this kind of thing, right? It shouldn't be difficult to do it?"

Yinzhe: No! Absolutely not!

Qin Zhaoqiong came back to his senses and immediately realized the effectiveness of this method, but he did have some concerns.

"My sister's method..."

"Hey! What are you talking about?" Qin Zhaoyue waved her hands repeatedly. "It has nothing to do with me. This is the idea of ​​my elder sister and Master Yinzhe."

Qin Zhaoqiong: ...

Yinzhe: ...

"Sister, this method is a bit taboo."

Qin Zhaoyue shrugged. "That depends on you. Is the risk of violating a taboo greater, or the risk of allowing rumors to spread?"

After saying that, he no longer looked at the two of them and just enjoyed his meal.

Today there is roasted meat and a large pot of stewed mixed fish.

The good thing about living along the river is that there are endless kinds of fish to eat. It is said that many of them are fresh fish caught from the flood that spread after the dam collapsed yesterday.

She enjoyed her meal very much, but the other two had a bit of a loss of appetite.

"I'm full, please enjoy your meal."

The atmosphere was a little off. Qin Zhaoyue was worried that they would drag her into discussing some sensitive topic, so she just rubbed her feet.

Qin Zhaoqiong stopped eating and asked, "Master Yinzhe, what do you think about this matter?"

Yinzhe slowly stood up, stepped back half a step and bowed, "I am just an attendant, and the decision is entirely up to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Qin Zhaoqiong: ...

Are you serious about taking that half step back?

Why didn’t I realize that he was so respectful to me before?

The subsequent events had nothing to do with Qin Zhaoyue. She stayed peacefully in the backyard of the county government office for three days.

"Your Highness, that's it for today."

Qin Zhaoyue waved her hand lazily. "You don't have to report to me every day. It's my eldest sister who's in charge. It has nothing to do with me."

Liu Yan looked at the Sixth Princess who was lazily lying on the couch, enjoying Mo Yi's massage, looking comfortable and relaxed.

Yes, it doesn’t matter. Just a simple idea and the effect... can be seen immediately!

Previously, they had concerns about mobilizing the local Xuanji Guards, after all, the crime of stealing and minting was too serious.

But when it comes to spreading rumors, it's completely painless to use.

Even if we take a step back, if there really is any problem with such a sensitive task, it would be convenient to blame them.

Within three days, all kinds of auspicious signs and strange phenomena occurred in the area, instantly overshadowing the black turtle.

Let me put it this way, it was totally a disgrace, a complete crush, and the criticisms against His Majesty were completely suppressed.

The Sixth Princess also wrote a set of lyrics, interspersed with His Majesty's actions in recent years and advocating that women should be self-reliant.

Every woman is someone's daughter, mother, wife or concubine. The opposition that had always been kept secret in the court and seemed like a taboo had a remarkable effect in the local area.

Not only has His Majesty's dignity not been damaged, but the support has even reached an unprecedented high. Who could have imagined this?

Everything stems from the lazy Sixth Prince in front of him.

Qin Zhaoyue couldn't help but smile. In fact, it had been like this for the past three days and no one could help it.

She wrote an article and spread it with the help of Xuanjiwei to publicize the deeds of the empress, and her merits and virtues increased rapidly.

We'll soon have enough people to be promoted to the fourth rank. Isn't this much easier than flood control and disaster relief?

It rarely stopped raining today, so the Tiangongsi took advantage of this rare break and led tens of thousands of laborers to urgently repair the dam.

Yaoguang also rushed back tonight and brought the latest news.

As expected, Your Majesty mobilized 10,000 cavalrymen and 20,000 civilians to the edge of the three states in the name of disaster relief.

Everything seems to be going in the right direction, but for some people it is not so easy.

The sorcerer Yan Wujiu and his fellow apprentice left and hid in the nearby Linhuang County.

The injuries caused by the sting were more serious than expected.

It takes a lot of time to completely remove the sharp "force" deposited in the body. Before that, the wound will continue to bleed.

It took three days to get rid of it completely and start recovering.

During the period when he was unable to cope with the situation, the public opinion offensive he had previously launched had been disintegrated, and Longmen County's layout had been a complete failure.

"Brother, it must be the Xuanji Guards who took action. If we intervene now, I'm afraid our whereabouts will be exposed."

There was an abnormal blush on Yan Wujiu's face, which was a sign of taking the healing pill, but he did not look overly disappointed when he heard this.

"No problem. Success or failure is all part of the plan. We will set off tonight and evacuate Hanoi Province."

"yes!"

Yutai Trading Company has a more straightforward name locally: Wu’s Trading Company.

In the study of the ancestral home, on the desk was the secret letter sent by Chansi, which told about everything that happened in Mingyan County and Longmen County.

Unexpectedly, an accident would occur even though the two sorcerers had arranged the situation personally, and both princesses survived.

Two Xuanji Guards of the Divine Martial Realm secretly accompanied her. His Majesty really treasures the eldest princess.

Not only that, but they too are at risk of being exposed.

Li Dajing pondered for a long time and finally made a decision.

"Cancel all plans temporarily. Also, have Jingxuan prepare for the Autumn Provincial Examination and come to the capital after the results are announced."

"yes!"

The laws of this dynasty abolished the rule that merchants were not allowed to take the imperial examinations.

Jingxuan had never participated in the boy's examination, but Li Dajing didn't think it was a problem. He didn't even consider the possibility that his youngest son would fail the provincial examination.

Since I've forged a connection with the Sixth Princess by accident, I might as well make use of it...
