Chapter 1068: A Notice to Fellow Citizens (5)
As a result, no one mentioned the story of Emperor Yongle killing his father and usurping the throne, which was a hot topic at that time.
Cong Yang had been posting notices all night, but he had never expected so many people to respond. He had even less idea that the rumor could be resolved so easily. He was extremely impressed with Shen Miao and said, “Madam, your skills are comparable to those of the top scholars in the palace. But I have never seen these scholars adore one person so much. If they knew Madam’s identity, they would definitely be extremely surprised.”
Shen Miao smiled and said, "The Lu family is now in Ruyang and has no right to interfere in Longye's affairs. At most, they can arrange some people to spread rumors among the people. But the people of Daliang are not fools. There are two lies, one is groundless and the other is well-founded. Which one will you believe?"
Congyang seemed to be lost in thought.
"However, that's also because the people are already more inclined towards the emperor, so it's easy to win them over. If the Lu family wins the hearts of the people, their position among the people will be indestructible. Add to that these rumors, and even if I write ten copies of this, it will be in vain."
Cong Yang scratched his head. "Anyway, Madam made a good move. When the master returns, he will surely be very happy. Besides, Madam originally came from the General's Mansion. I didn't expect her to be so talented."
Shen Miao remained silent.
Talent? "A Letter to the Compatriots of the World" was nothing more than a letter to deceive the world. People's hearts need to be cultivated, and if the Lu family wanted to, they could naturally do it. When Fu Xiuyi ascended the throne, there were naturally voices of doubt. But wasn't it Pei Lang who, with the "Letter to the Compatriots of the World," turned black into white, cleansing Fu Xiuyi from evil and becoming the unique wise ruler of Ming Qi?
Now she used this trick on the Lu family, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. It would be impossible for the Lu family to ruin the reputation of the royal family.
At the same time, in a small town in Yongzhou, Daliang, a man in a green shirt was walking down the street, his hands behind his back. There happened to be a school nearby. The teacher, an old man in his sixties, was reading, his head shaking, "When the dynasty was weak in the past, it still lived in peace. But now it's prosperous, is it chaos? Your Majesty is here, the granaries are full, the weather is good, and the crops are good. Now you are a thief, doubting your master, rebelling against your ruler, going against reason, and overturning the way. Are you ashamed? Are you embarrassed? Are you disloyal, unrighteous, and unkind?"
The man in green paused, involuntarily looking over there. He saw the old man reading a paragraph before saying, "This is the 'Letter to Fellow Citizens Worldwide' that is now widely circulated in Longye. I only have one copy. Please copy it and hand it in tomorrow."
Pei Lang was stunned for a moment, then thought of something and couldn't help but laugh softly. After laughing for a while, his eyes dimmed again. He glanced at the teacher who was shaking his head in the school and left.
In the Weiyang Palace, Empress Xian De also held a letter in her hand and read it word by word to Emperor Yongle with a smile. Emperor Yongle sat in a chair, his face pale but gentler than ever before.
"Jingxing has truly married a treasure," Empress Xiande said with a smile. "I thought she was a female general from a military family, but she turned out to be a female champion scholar capable of stirring up trouble. Now, the academies in Longye are secretly trying to figure out who wrote this book, but they didn't know it was a woman."
Emperor Yongle snorted softly and said, "As cunning as a fox."
"She's the one who's helping you." Empress Xian De disagreed. "Thanks to her, all those messy rumors out there have died down. Isn't that a good thing?"
"I don't care." said Emperor Yongle.
Empress Xian De said, "You may not care, but you still have to consider Jing Xing and the others."
