Chapter 601 Imperial Power
A quarter of an hour later.
After chatting with Zhou Cheng for a while, Wei Changtian came out of the latter's residence with a small purse in his arms.
Comrade Xiao Xu deposited twenty taels at the time, plus the compensation, the total was thirty taels.
It was just thirty taels of silver, but Xu Qingwan kept muttering about it for a long time. It was unclear whether one should say that she was good at managing the household or was being stingy . "Okay, let's go back." Wei Changtian said casually after getting on the carriage.
Wang Er, who was driving, was startled and reminded quietly: "Sir, the people from Tongzhouhui are still waiting in Huaihua Lane."
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that."
Wei Changtian glanced at the sky outside the car and yawned lazily.
"Heh~ Let's go then."
"Since we are here, we have to meet each other."
From dusk to nightfall, Wei Changtian did not stay at Tongzhouhui for too long.
After all, an organization like Tongzhouhui is very complicated if you say it is complicated, but it is also very simple if you say it is simple.
Although all members are well-known figures in Daning today, they have all taken Puppet Pills and will never betray Wei Changtian.
Of course, some people might think of betrayal.
However, this kind of thinking cannot be transformed into "actual action".
Because before they commit any specific "act of betrayal", the toxicity of the Puppet Pill will take effect and take their lives in just a few breaths.
Such an organization that will never betray is undoubtedly easy to manage.
So Wei Changtian did not make any long speeches, nor did he say anything to win people's hearts.
He only said one thing -
Although Ning Wenjun appears to be willing to submit to the Wei family on the surface, he must be secretly accumulating strength in private.
As a result, the capital city may not be peaceful in the future, and they may encounter danger.
If anyone in the Tongzhou Society is unwilling to take this risk again, they can directly raise the issue, and Wei Changtian will allow him to serve in Dashu . Leave Daning and go to Dashu to serve as an official.
This choice has its pros and cons. Wei Changtian originally thought that many people would want to go to Da Shu.
But in the end, no one made this request.
Just like that, Wei Changtian's first appearance in Tongzhou Club ended so quickly.
“.”
"Uncle Li, why don't you want to go to Dashu?"
On the way back, Wei Changtian and Li Kan, who were traveling along the way, rode in a horse-drawn carriage.
Because of the relationship with Li Yang, Wei Changtian did not call Li Kan "Master Li", but used a more intimate title.
The latter also seemed to enjoy it quite a bit, with a smile always on his face.
"Master Wei, you want to ask why everyone is unwilling to go to Shuzhou."
"yes."
Wei Changtian did not deny it, nodded and said: "Let's not talk about whether Ning Wenjun will start a rebellion in the future. Even if it is for the upcoming war, Dashu is much safer than Da Ning."
"Besides, the Great Shu has now established a government. Your official position after you go there will definitely not be lower than your current one."
"Isn't this a good thing? Why is everyone unwilling to do so?"
“This matter.”
Li Kan looked at the night view of the capital city outside the car curtain and sighed softly.
"Hey, sir, I know you are doing this for the good of us old men."
"We also understand that Dashu is far more stable than Daning."
"It's just that no one wants their descendants to bear the blame because of them."
"infamy?"
Wei Changtian was stunned: "What kind of insult?"
"Of course it's the accusation of treason."
Li Kan looked at Wei Changtian and explained softly, "Master Wei, everyone in the world knows exactly how Great Shu came to be."
"Ning Wenjun was a prince before. Even though he ascended the throne in a hurry, no one can find fault with him."
"But Ning Yuke is different."
"Although her surname is Ning, she is just the daughter of the prince."
"Such a woman has now become the empress of a country and has established a new dynasty. Although people in the world dare not say it, they all feel that her words are not right and her name is not reasonable."
"To put it bluntly, most of the people in Daning now actually believe that Daning and Dashu should still belong to one family, but are just temporarily divided into two."
"The legitimate ruler of the two countries is naturally Da Ning, and the legitimate emperor is naturally Ning Wenjun."
"If we go to Dashu, what will people say about us? You should understand that, young master."
“.”
As the night deepened, there were few pedestrians on the street and most of the businesses on both sides were closed.
After Li Kan finished speaking, Wei Changtian nodded and remained silent for a long time.
For those court officials who valued their reputation more than anything else, it was impossible for them to be willing to be pointed at and called "traitors" by the people.
Wei Changtian could fully understand this matter.
Therefore, the reason why he remained silent was that he did not expect that the people of Daning would have such an attitude towards Dashu and Ning Yuke.
Or it’s not just the people of Daning.
I'm afraid that except for Shuzhou, the people in the other thirteen states under the rule of Dashu probably have similar ideas.
Just like what Li Kan said.
People all over the world still feel from the bottom of their hearts that whether it is Da Ning or Da Shu, they all belong to the Ning family.
The Wei family and Ning Yuke were just "rebels" who succeeded in their rebellion. The royal family's concept is deeply rooted. No wonder there was "holding the emperor hostage to control the princes" in the past.
Faced with the idea that "the country relies on imperial power", Wei Changtian, as a modern person, naturally feels backward.
But he also knows that it is difficult to change this universal value.
Learn from Chen Sheng and Wu Guang? Promote the sayings like "Are kings, dukes, generals and ministers of different races?" Forget it. If a lot of uprisings break out in different places, it will not be worth it.
Alas, what a trouble. Sighing in his heart, Wei Changtian felt the difficulty of "governing the country" for the first time.
His previous incarnation as a social animal was, so it was certainly impossible for him to have any experience in governing a country.
The online articles I have read are all written very simply. Basically, the protagonist grabs a piece of land, and then the people accept the protagonist as their new emperor without any obstacles.
But the facts prove that this is not the case at all.
Even though the policies of Da Shu towards the people were already good enough, Wei Changtian even gave an impassioned speech on the theme of "The people are more important than the king" on New Year's Eve.
But even so, the status of royal bloodline in the hearts of the people remains unshakable.
If you want to change, maybe you can only rely on time. Suddenly, Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes and thought of something.
Although Ning Yuke’s bloodline is not so “pure”, her surname is Ning after all.
But what about Xu Suisui? She is a Daqian person on the surface, but a time traveler in reality. She established Xinfeng with the help of Qin Zhengqiu's strength and Li Qi's prestige, and then proclaimed herself as the empress . How could the people of Dafeng accept this?
If she had always controlled Li Qi, or simply supported Li Qi as a puppet to take power, Wei Changtian might have been able to understand it.
But Li Qi is about to restore Dafeng in Jianchang Prefecture. Under such circumstances, how can Xu Suisui win the hearts of the people? ? To put it bluntly.
Since the people of "former Daning" did not recognize Ning Yuke, why would the people of "former Dafeng" recognize Xu Sui as the emperor?
Yes Why does she do that? (End of this chapter)
