Chapter 61 Wen Tao: The North is a good place,...

It doesn’t matter if the King of the North doesn’t understand. There are so many people around him, and many of them are willing to translate for him.

Therefore, the King of Bei not only had to listen to the original text polished by Wen Tao, but also had to listen to the translation again, or even more than once, because the translation was also quite obscure, and not every curse word could be understood.

Bei Wangyue also wanted to stop listening. That thing wasn't a good thing, so why should he listen to it?

But he didn't listen. There were many people who would make insinuations in front of him, either overtly or covertly, wishing to tear those words apart and crush them into pieces. If there were conditions, they would mention it, and if there were no conditions, they would create them to mention it.

It all comes down to one reason - too much hatred.

Just as Shen Zhiwei guessed, the Northern King Yue chose to detain people, not to provoke Jingchang, but because he was afraid of Jingchang. At the same time, he had also benefited from the war and wanted to provoke war again.

He was afraid that Jingchang would become increasingly powerful, so he tried every possible way to stop Jingchang's development.

He found that when the country was in the midst of war, those who disliked him and those he disliked would become very obedient. They were only afraid that problems would arise in the country at any time, so no one dared to disturb him.

This is very good. Bei Wangyue is really tired of those people nagging him for no reason.

Now with Wen Tao's scolding poem, his words are more diverse, and he has to memorize the whole text. Otherwise, if someone scolds him in front of him, he won't be able to hear it, and may even think that the other person speaks very culturedly and is obviously a talented and capable person.

The more the Northern King listened to the servants reading the abusive poem to him and the Prime Minister's explanation, the darker his face became. When the long torture was finally over, he waved his hand and asked all the palace maids and servants to leave.

The hall suddenly became much quieter. His prime minister Su Wang sighed deeply, and the sound rang in his ears, very harsh.

"Prime Minister, just say what you want to say. Do you think my actions are inappropriate, or do you want me to release the prisoners and submit to the emperor?"

The King of the North became more and more unhappy and irritable, and he started to taunt people as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Your Majesty, why do this? There are many ways to deal with those ministers. There is no need to confront Jingchang. That emperor is not to be trifled with."

Su Wang had read the invective poem several times, so much so that some of the words were engraved in his mind. Now when he looked at Bei Wangyue, a passage from the invective poem could not help but come to his mind.

"What a despicable person! What a disloyal and unfilial person! To gain the throne, they forced their own father to death and murdered their own brother. Such actions are outrageous to both heaven and man. Those who gain power illegitimately are filthy and vile, guilty and cowardly, like skinless rats and sewer dwellers, afraid to see the light of day!"

This paragraph is relatively friendly, without so many long-winded metaphors.

Although there is actually a long section before and after that is a supplement surrounding this incident, at least there is one section that the King of the North can understand!

It's just too brainwashing.

Su Wang didn’t know what brainwashing was, but occasionally these words would pop up in his mind and he couldn’t get rid of them.

"As the emperor, she can only rely on her ministers to write articles, but what good is that? If we really go to the battlefield, can the ministers still fight the enemy with their pens?"

Bei Wangyue couldn't stand anyone saying that he was not as good as Shen Zhiwei. The anger in his heart kept burning, even angrier than when he heard the sarcastic words of those Zong Bo.

Because he knew that no matter how much trouble the Northern Kingdom's Zong Bo made, he could not really take his life, let alone harm the interests of the Northern Kingdom. But Shen Zhiwei was different. Shen Zhiwei really wanted him to die and the Northern Kingdom to be destroyed.

Su Wang seemed to agree on the surface, but in fact he felt that when they went to the battlefield, they still had generals.

The emperor's ministers do not have to go to the battlefield to fight the enemy. She has many talented people under her command. The most famous one in the war is General Youan. It is said that he grew up with the emperor and they have a deep friendship that is incomparable to ordinary people.

When will there be such a general in the Northern Kingdom’s harem? Su Wang would laugh even in his dreams.

Fortunately, the King of the North has many minor problems, but no major ones.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. These articles were only sent here for everyone to watch. No one will release Yunzi and the others just because of one or two articles, and those clan members will not be foolish enough."

"But Prime Minister, do you think I will become the second Lord An?"

"impossible!"

Su Wang said it in a firm tone at this moment, it is absolutely impossible!

Then the next day, when he went to court, he heard many children talking about the abusive poem. The words that even King Bei Yue could not understand became the words that a group of children and common people who could hardly read and write would often mention.

Su Wang's face turned very ugly, but he still gritted his teeth and went to court. He didn't say a word during the period, pretending that he heard nothing.

When he learned that An Gongshou was angered to death by a poem, King Bei Yue mocked him countless times and said frankly that he would never be so useless.

Now the same thing happened to him, and he was finally speechless.

The feeling of everyone discussing the ugly things he had done, everyone pointing fingers at him and speaking ill of him, was too hard to bear. Even the king could hardly bear it.

He ordered everyone not to talk about this matter, and ordered that if anyone talked about it again, he would cut off their tongue!

After several rounds of suppression, Bei Wangyue finally had peace of mind. He hadn't slept for several days because of this incident, and when the cold wind came, he fell ill.

This year, Fengbao City in the north is colder than usual. Fengbao is like spring all year round, but this year it is so cold that people can be frozen to death. It snowed a month early, and the snow fell suddenly and heavily, as if we went from a warm spring to a cold winter overnight.

The snowstorm and the sudden drop in temperature took the lives of many people, including Yunzi and the students, who were all freezing to death. If the Northern Kingdom had not dared to neglect such a great scholar for fear of being scolded by the world, some of them would have probably been frozen to death.

The Northern King became more and more seriously ill, and the capital of the Northern Kingdom suffered an unprecedented natural disaster. When this news spread, the whole country was in an uproar. Many of the less courageous princes were discussing it in private, wondering if the Great Zhou Dynasty had not yet run out of luck?

God is still helping the emperor. The emperor was provoked by the King of the North and then encountered such a tragedy.

Not only were the other princes surprised, Shen Zhiwei was also surprised. She was even more surprised at how good her subordinates were at seizing the opportunity, because as the news of the natural disaster in Fengbao City spread, another piece of news also spread, that is, it was believed that the Northern King Yue and Wen Tao had said the same thing in the poem they wrote, that he had obtained the position by an illegitimate way, and that he had been resented by heaven and people, and that was why he had brought about the disaster.

If the Northern King Yue continues to hold power in the Northern Kingdom, it will be destroyed sooner or later.

Shen Zhiwei really didn't expect that her subordinates were so outstanding in creating public opinion. Some wrote articles, some worked as marketing accounts, and they divided the work and cooperated to make the public opinion field so hot that even the cold weather couldn't cool it down.

This year's winter is even colder than last year, and the cold wind came early. Shen Zhiwei turned on the heating early, and all the podium and resettlement houses outside the city began to be heated. Such a cold day did not prevent more and more people from coming to Jingchang City.

Everyone is in high spirits, very nice.

Shen Zhiwei put aside the government affairs in the city for the time being and looked at the affairs of the Northern Kingdom. Wen Tao's poem failed to defeat the King of the North in one go, so Shen Zhiwei decided to let Wen Tao write another one.

There are new things happening every day. If we cannot continuously carry out public opinion bombardment, the public opinion high ground will be taken away by others, which is not acceptable.

Shen Zhiwei felt that she had given enough face to the King of the North. Lord An was a great hero, but she only let Wen Tao write one article.

However, this is also related to the richness of the materials. There are not many flaws in An Gongshou, unlike the King of the North, who seems to be a person made up of flaws.

The fact that he came to power alone was enough for Wen Tao to curse him over and over again. The key point was that the King of the North still cared about it. If he didn't care, then the Northern Kingdom would have been peaceful long ago. Why would he still be angry with those clan members in the Northern Kingdom and choose to fight with Jingchang and force the country to change?

"This Northern King is much thicker-skinned than An Gongshou. He doesn't feel bad when people point fingers at him and scold him. This cold is just an accident. No matter how many poems he writes, it's just to vent your anger. It still won't allow Yunzi and others to come to Jingchang. Once winter is over, you'll have to wait a year before you can take the imperial examination."

Shen Zhiwei watched Wen Tao writing a poem in front of him, and spoke to Wen Tao with his chin propped up in boredom.

Her subordinates work hard and she watches, but she can't just watch, she still has to think of ways to solve the problem.

Wen Tao performed normally in the second chapter, and with the experience gained, he could curse more fluently. He also composed some nursery rhymes that were easier to spread, which he could give to Gui Yang and let her spread them.

That’s right, it was Gui Yang who was the marketing account. This was not the first time that Wen Tao and Gui Yang had collaborated. Normally, they looked down on each other, but this time they were collaborating happily.

Shen Zhiwei felt that these two people were actually equally mean at heart.

"Your Majesty is absolutely right. In fact, today I received news from the Yongming County Magistrate. He intends to have General You'an send an envoy to the Northern Kingdom to bring back Yunzi and the others."

When the king spoke, Wen Tao put down his pen and answered honestly.

Shen Zhiwei nodded nonchalantly and said, "I saw his memorial this morning, as well as Youan's."

She saw it all, but she was still hesitant.

Looking at the behavior of Gui Yang and Hu Youan, she always felt that these two people were planning something bad for her and would not harm her, but it was hard to say what the situation would be like in the Northern Kingdom at that time.

Nowadays, everyone in the army is eager to make merit and be awarded a title. It is because Jingchang has been developing blindly in the past two years and Shen Zhiwei has been suppressing him that Hu Youan has not led the troops to fight everywhere.

Now that there is a ready-made opportunity, the King of the North will not let him go easily. Don't go all out when the time comes and kill the person and then put the blame on the King of the North.

By then, he could occupy the moral high ground and criticize the Northern King's brutal act of killing the great scholar, and he could also get an excuse to start a war. If Yun Zi and others really died at the hands of the Northern King, Wen Tao would not oppose the war. It is estimated that Wen Tao would dare to come to Shen Zhiwei and ask to go to the battlefield.

Shen Zhiwei felt that Gui Yang was really capable of doing this.

Gui Yang was not a person who liked to take any gentle approach. Shen Zhiwei once thought that Gui Yang had the potential to be a treacherous villain, and it was because of her that she suppressed her and prevented her from harming loyal and good people.

"Your Majesty, the Northern Kingdom is adjacent to Jingchang and is rich in resources. Fengbao is a treasured land, with the two natural defenses of Tianguan and Tonggu. If we can conquer the Northern Kingdom, we will be able to transport troops smoothly whether we go south or west in the future. Even if we are defeated, we can preserve the foundation of our army."

Shen Zhiwei didn't expect that Wen Tao wanted to attack the Northern Kingdom even though nothing happened to Yunzi and others.

She didn't even want to find a moral excuse, she just wanted to fight because she had her eyes on that place in the north.
