Chapter 166: Public Opinion in the Imperial Capital


"Roddy, I ask you a word.

In the room, the two enjoyed affectionately for a long time, and Nicole suddenly whispered.

Luo Di gently stroked Nicole's hair, sniffed lightly on her hair, and whispered: "What" He was really relaxed at the moment, this is the study of the Duke's Palace, and no one will break in without an order, so Luo Di hugged his lover who he missed for a long time, and said casually: "What do you want to ask?"

Nicole was made to fall by Roddy's hair, her face was itchy, and she whispered: "You are getting bolder and bolder now" Seeing the fire burning in Roddy's eyes, Nicole blushed and whispered: "I really have something to ask you." ” Roddy sighed, hugged Nicole in his arms, and smiled bitterly, "Okay, you can say it." ” Nicole seemed to be a little melancholy in her eyes, and said: "Actually, this matter, from the beginning to the present, I haven't figured it out, but it happened too suddenly, forcing us to get to where we are today, Roddy, I ask you, do you think we started to support the queen, right or wrong" "What's wrong," Roddy smiled.

Nicole sighed: "What Andy said today, I always think in my heart that maybe we did something wrong.

Just to save the queen alone, just to support her for the sake of affection, can drag the entire empire into a whirlpool, can we set off a palace coup, do we have the right to do this?"

Roddy raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly, but did not speak.

Nicole sighed and continued: "If it weren't for Andy's sudden appearance, I'm afraid today's events would have really made a big fuss, and a fight would have been inevitable.

I'm afraid that it will reproduce the palace tragedy when the Abbasid Emperor succeeded to the throne, thinking of this, I am very afraid that even if we win, but what will happen later, the queen's child has not been born after all, is it really the fate of an empire to be handed over to a baby in the future, well, what are you laughing at?"

Nicole's face was full of melancholy, and suddenly she saw Roddy smiling faintly, and there seemed to be some deep meaning hidden in the smile.

Nicole couldn't help but glare at him fiercely, bit her lip, and said, "What the hell are you laughing at?"

Roddy shook his head and said, "You're not right. ” "What" Roddy said in a categorical tone, "You're not right.

He sighed, slowly let go of the arms holding Nicole, and said in a deep voice: "If I have to choose an emperor between Prince Barang and a baby, then I will definitely not choose Prince Barang." ” He glanced at Nicole and said lightly: "Nicole, maybe I'm a person who doesn't think too much, and I won't think about complicated plans and future things."

But for now, all I know is that I won't choose Prince Barang.

The reason is simple: I don't think he's a good guy. ” After a pause, he continued: "Maybe I'm too selfish, but emotionally, Barang colluded with the Bloodline, and the Bloodline killed Jojo.

This kind of thing has already killed all the possibilities of my support for Balang, I am a person who loves and hates clearly, and I don't care if I think so, whether it is right or not, I just know, a person who colludes with the blood clan to kill innocents indiscriminately, I will not support him, and the blood clan killed Qiao Qiao, and killed so many soldiers on my way back to Yanjing, no matter in any way, Balang's side is my enemy, and it will definitely not be a friend."

Nicole smiled, "What you said is simple, but it makes sense. ” Roddy shook his head and said, "No, Nicole.

It's not that simple" He showed a strange look in his eyes, and slowly said in a low tone: "The general is angry, all the bones are withered, the king is angry, the blood is floating, and tens of millions of heads fall to the ground to take charge of Jinwu, and the human life is Caosuke" He suddenly smiled slightly: "Nicole, do you know what these words mean?"

Nicole frowned: "I don't know, the tone of what you said is weird, and the words are even more strange, what do you mean?"

Luo Di smiled faintly: "This sentence is what I read from a book called Sunflower Treasure Book, it is a note left by Dandong."

The meaning is very simple, when a person stands at the pinnacle of power, then in his eyes, human life in the world will be as small as mustard and unimportant Such a person, whether it is happy or angry, involves the livelihood and fate of tens of millions of people, Nicole, don't you think it's terrible?"

He smiled a little bitterly: "After I became this duke, I took the army to the northwest, and every time I gave an order, I had to think about it for a long time, because I knew that if one of my orders was wrong, it might make many, many people die, you know, I'm just a duke now, but when I become an emperor, an emperor, if it's good, forget it, if it's a bastard, then there are too many people who suffer below Although Abbasid XI is not a good thing, but there is no wrong thing that is too outrageous."

Although he was a little confused, the empire only declined, and did not really die.

But if Balang is replaced as the emperor, I really don't dare to think that he dares to collude with the blood clan, regard human life as lighter than mustard, and use all kinds of conspiracies and tricks.

First of all, those people in the blood clan are not a good thing, and this emperor is afraid that what this emperor has brought to the empire is not as simple as weakening, and most of them will collapse soon."

Nicole's mouth opened wide and couldn't help but say, "You actually think so much" Roddy shook his head: "I don't and don't like to think so much.

It's just that things are pressed in front of me, and I can't do it if I don't want to.

I was forced by you to read so many books and learn so many things, and many times I naturally thought.

But the more I thought about it, the more upset I became. ” Nicole lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then said, "Then, since you think Barang can't do it, why didn't you agree to Seth to cooperate with him in the first place?"

Roddy said: "It's one thing to hate Barang, but it's another thing to want me to cooperate with Seth, although it seems that I still took Seth's path in the end, if there is no Andy's appearance, I'm afraid things will really go the way Seth thinks, but if I promised Seth so much at the time, I would never do" Laughing, he seemed to smile a little bitterly: "I know, many times I do things a little stupid, or a little stupid.

Perhaps, sometimes, if I compromise a little, things will go a lot smoother, but I just can't convince myself to compromise Seth's words are tempting, but I know that once I promise him, then I will still be a pawn controlled by him, and I will still be a shadow of him, Nicole, you know that I hate this face very much now, and if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have put on this mask again" Nicole's eyes seemed a little moist, and she whispered, "I know." ” Roddy gently took Nicole's hand: "I tell you, I have always had a thought in my heart, if Andy didn't show up that day, I would definitely try my best to kill Prince Barang, but after killing him, I may not support the queen's child to succeed to the throne" "What" Nicole was really surprised, and there was a look of surprise in her eyes: "Are you serious, then why did you still do what I said, after you really killed Prince Balang, what were you going to do?"

Luo Di shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet, but I think that when the time comes, I will probably find someone to come out and be the emperor and a baby to be the emperor, which is even more terrible than Balang being the emperor, but it's a pity" He said in a low voice: "It's a pity that the queen is a cowardly person, if she is stronger, it is better to simply let her be the emperor."

Or just find a suitable person among the people of the Thorn Flower family to be a person anyway, I heard that the royal family has a lot of distant relatives, so you can always find someone. ” Nicole couldn't help laughing: "You really want the queen to be the emperor."

Is there a woman who is the emperor, just find someone to be the emperor, this is even crazier. ” Luo Di showed a disapproving expression on his face: "Why can't the rules in this world be set by people, why can't you set one more rule, is it that everything is immutable, I just want to let it change" Nicole was a little surprised, and there was a strange look in her eyes: "You have really changed, but you didn't think that if you find someone to be the emperor at random, it would be better for you to be yourself" After saying the last sentence, not only Roddy, but even Nicole herself was startled, how could she suddenly say such a thing, even if this thought occasionally popped up in her head, she shouldn't have said it.

But when this sentence came out, Nicole's heart suddenly trembled, in fact, this thought may not be considered "crazy" Duke Tulip holds the military power in his hands, and after eradicating Prince Balang, he is even more powerful, and at the same time has the admiration and respect of the subjects of the Bright Empire, if he really becomes the emperor at that time, it is not impossible Roddy glanced at Nicole, smiled, shook his head and said, "I don't want to I don't like it" 'In the past few days, the most powerful person in Yanjing is probably the soldier of the Wolf Tooth Army.

Groups of wolf-tooth troops patrolled the streets, and all the people of the Central Cavalry Regiment returned to the barracks, and not a single one was allowed to go out.

It is said that His Majesty the Emperor has decreed that Duke Tulip has taken over the "Thor's Whip" The news of Duke Tulip's return has spread throughout Yanjing.

The incident in the palace has already spread so much that it can't be covered up if you want to.

Everyone knows that Prince Barang premeditated to usurp the throne, but was brought down by Duke Tulip with the Wolf Tooth Army.

These wolf tooth troops are the cavalry of Duke Tulip's relatives, and even the central cavalry corps was defeated by them, and some noble ministers also asked the emperor for instructions, whether to send people to inspect the streets, forbid others to talk about the events of that day, suppress this public opinion, and arrest all those who dared to speak about the palace coup d'état that day As a result, the skeleton's eyes widened, and without saying a word, he kicked the nobleman out.

Next, what the emperor did made everyone even more incomprehensible, and the emperor actually went out in person, found a group of romantic poetry literati in the imperial aristocratic circle, and got a new gadget out It's called: "Newspaper."

You don't know what a newspaper is.

Never heard of it either.

I feel that His Majesty the Emperor doesn't know if his brain is bad after he got sick, and what he does is so incomprehensible.

The emperor sent hundreds of soldiers of the Guards, dressed in civilian clothes, and secretly got out all kinds of big and small things that happened in Yanjing these days, and then let those merry poets and literati all compile them and print them on a piece of paper, a total of tens of thousands of sheets, and then all the nobles and ministers of Yanjing sent them to their homes, and the rest sent people to stand at the city gate of Yanjing, hotels, shops, squares and other places, and when they saw people, they sent such strange things to all the people of Yanjing at once.

What baron so-and-so was knocked on by his wife because of a private meeting with his lover, what is the food in the restaurant on so-and-so street is delicious, or what is the old man of whom's family died, and the children broke their heads in order to share the inheritance, people's curiosity is always very heavy, and I usually can't help but inquire about where there are new and interesting things, and now with such a thing, it is very popular.

Of course, this newspaper is not so simple to record those new things at the same time, in the most conspicuous place of the newspaper, in a hidden tone, some of the circumstances of the court incident that day are roughly stated, every sentence seems to accuse Prince Barang of plotting ill intentions, although it is not specified, but that level of hint is enough.

When the "newspaper" was just distributed on the first day, everyone didn't pay much attention to it, and people who didn't know what it was, some just threw it away, and some took it to the toilet to wipe their buttocks, but on the second day, the whole Yanjing was a sensation, and those who had already seen it spread that Yanjing had such an interesting thing, and those who hadn't seen it were looking for it everywhere.

For a time, in the garbage heap, in the hotel, in the toilet, there was an endless stream of people looking for "newspapers", and finally a situation was formed in which a newspaper circulated hundreds or even thousands of people.

Although the true purpose of the newspaper is still not understood, some of the effects are gradually being felt.

After the second newspaper came out, the matter of Prince Barang had been hastily discussed, and gradually another person surfaced to the Marquis Caroline, Minister of War The sharp words and cynicism implied that the king's ministers had bad intentions, not only in charge of military affairs while enriching their own pockets, embezzling military expenses and losing air salaries, but also seemed to play a disgraceful role in the palace incident, etc., etc., These remarks completely dominated all kinds of rumors and speculations about the palace incident in Yanjing, and all kinds of strange gossip in the past gradually disappeared, and almost all the public opinion guides followed the statements in the "newspaper", and Andy, who was hiding behind, laughed deceitfully:" How not to use any gag order, this method is much better than the official orders and notices issued by the royal family."

Of course, newspapers can't be free forever, and after three consecutive newspapers, the fourth newspaper is no longer distributed free on the streets.

It was announced that one would be issued every three days in the future, and those who wanted to see it would have to spend two copper plates, so countless people sighed: "Alas, there is no free lunch in the world again."

But just like that, the sales of the newspaper were unprecedentedly hot, and everyone wanted to know: what happened to the few people who broke their heads in order to rob the inheritance, what happened to the baron who was caught by his wife and killed in bed The last newspaper said that in the palace incident, Prince Barang and Duke Tulip duel, the prince used a trick to "sweep away thousands of troops", and the duke broke out with "golden vindictiveness", and how things developed later, there is also the Marquis Caroline, it is said that the old guy still likes the old cow to eat tender grass, I don't know if it's true or not It can be said that there is no commodity in Yanjing that is as popular as "newspaper".

In the end, His Majesty the Emperor ordered that those poets and literati should simply specialize in newspapers, and each of them could get a large amount of remuneration from the Emperor, and His Majesty the Emperor also directly sent more than 100 guards for them to deploy, and His Majesty the Emperor personally inscribed the newspaper, writing: "Andy Express" And man's imagination and creativity are boundless After the unprecedented popularity of newspapers, watching those poets and literati who were originally down-and-out in the aristocratic circle all made a lot of money, and walked with their heads held high, some nimble businessmen finally couldn't sit still.

Finally, the first person pretended to be brave and learned to get a newspaper out, and I can't help but say that this person is smart, Andy Express is published every three days, and the newspaper he got is published every day The sales were so hot that they almost squeezed out his top bunk So, people said: "Alas, this year is the king's way."

After this new newspaper came out, seeing that His Majesty did not seem to object to someone singing against him, everyone was boiling, and various newspapers were introduced.

Some whimsical people wrote some stories in the newspaper that circulated in Yanjing.

What is the scandal story of the young master of a big family and a certain dusty woman, a young man from a civilian family falls in love with a young lady of a big family, this kind of affair involving the love of men and women is very popular Of course, there are also those who are suffocated.

Some poets were moved, and they got their painstaking work into the newspaper, and as a result, they became sales killers, and those poems appeared in the vegetable market the next day, and were used to wrap vegetables and meat, and some poets were unwilling, and went to the street to ask people why they didn't like to read them.
