Chapter 588 War of Public Opinion, Your Highness is Merciful (Thanks to the new leader "Three Wolongs")
"uncle!"
Li Hong was standing outside the hall just as Jia Ping'an arrived.
"Scared?"
Jia Pingan stopped and asked.
Li Hong was a little dazed, "That man is so fierce."
Jia Pingan leaned over and asked, "What should I do when I encounter such a fierce person?"
Zhou Shanxiang was a little behind, frowning and said: "Why is the Marquis of Wuyang always inducing His Highness?"
Shao Peng was silent.
Li Hong was a little embarrassed, "Stop him."
"Then did the scolding work?"
Li Hong shook his head.
Jia Ping'an smiled and said, "Next time, let's read more and ask if we don't understand, okay?"
Li Hong nodded.
You can't expect too much from children, but Li Hong's identity is sensitive, and if he is not careful, it will cause some troubles. So we can only develop in a stable direction.
Jia Pingan entered the hall and saw the medical officer.
The medical officer looked happy, "The queen is pregnant."
"Congratulations, sister!"
Wu Mei smiled and said: "You are just coming, and there is good news here, which is almost like a magpie."
The production frequency is too high, right?
Jia Pingan felt a little incredible.
Immediately, Shao Peng and others came in to congratulate him.
"This is a happy event, but Goro's reputation in the palace is somewhat flawed, what do you think of Ping An?"
My name is not Yuan Fang.
Jia Yuanfang pondered.
Wu Mei looked at Shao Peng and the others, "I have thought of many ideas here, but none of them are useless."
A Child's Fame…
Jia Ping'an thought of the bear children of later generations.
"Sister, facts speak louder than words."
"What's the meaning?"
is of course the reverse operation.
"If my sister believes in me, I will try."
Wu Mei smiled and said: "If you don't believe me, who do you believe? So I will wait and see."
At this moment, Wu Mei looks like the elder sister next door, but thinking that she will kill the two of them, the elder sister's smile is a little scary.
Jia Pingan immediately took the prince out.
"How do you want to get rid of the prince's notoriety?" Shao Peng sighed and said, "There is so much talk! It's hard to say."
This matter... there will be more in later generations.
Whether it is on forums or those social media, all kinds of news are mixed, and the old driver dare not say that he can distinguish the true from the false.
A piece of fake news comes out, how do you respond?
No, it's to set things right.
Jia Pingan looked at Li Hong who was walking in front, and said calmly: "It's not a problem!"
"How to do?"
Shaopeng felt that Master Jia was going to be a demon again.
"Look for an old court lady."
This is easy to handle.
Later, an elderly lady-in-waiting arrives who falters.
"It's very simple, I fell down in a crowded place later..." Jia Pingan smiled and said, "Fall, understand?"
Should I not need to teach you such things?
The palace maid's eyes became clearer, "Do you want it light or heavy?"
Sure enough, he is an experienced veteran!
Jia Ping'an said: "There is no need to stress, and then everything will go with the flow."
The old maid staggered away, while Li Hong and Zhou Shanxiang were muttering behind.
What a cute kid!
"What to do next?"
Shaopeng doesn't understand these things.
"Find more people and get them ready to spread the word."
Competing for traffic?
Who can compare to the queen?
Shao Peng called someone to go, and then said with a wry smile: "His Highness's reputation will be damaged after all. If we find out who did it, we will turn around and flay him alive."
"Old Shao, you are talking too much."
"What's the meaning?"
Shaopeng watched Li Hong grow up with deep feelings, "You think we dare not?"
"right."
Old Shao pretended to be fresh and refined, but he forgot about the emperor.
"Don't forget that His Majesty is here."
Shao Peng withered immediately.
"Those women are really courageous."
He can only use this to justify his incompetence.
"Mother is strong." Jia Ping'an was not surprised by such things, "A colleague is an enemy, this sentence also applies to the situation in the palace."
They are all the emperor's women, why can you be a queen? Why your child is more noble than mine, why your son will become emperor in the future...
One hundred thousand angry stories were released, and then all kinds of weird things came out.
Concubine Xiao Shu's method of attacking the queen was really not good enough, and her rank was too low.
A servant appeared in front and nodded.
"Old Shao, today I will show you what public opinion counterattack is."
"What war?"
Jia Pingan said confidently: "Public opinion fights back. Those who hide behind think that their methods are amazing, but in my eyes... To be honest, I think their methods are no different from children."
"Then you want to slap a child?"
Shao Peng made a joke.
"Your Highness!"
Jia Pingan smiled and said, "It's time to go."
Li Hong came over with short legs, "Where are we going?"
Can I say go fishing?
Jia Pingan said with a smile: "I haven't had a good time in the palace yet, I want to do it today."
Li Hong snorted, "Then go around."
This good temper made Shao Peng gnash his teeth and said: "Let those **** come and see the prince, how can they be so irritable? A group of beasts are not afraid of being cut off their tongues."
Walking slowly all the way, Jia Pingan felt that he was on a day trip in the palace.
There are many people ahead.
"The Ministry of Internal Affairs on the right." Shao Peng said in a low voice, "This is where the most people are."
Jia Pingan nodded, "Tell them to signal, do it!"
Well!
This is a bit wrong!
Shao Peng only reacted after he ordered, "You are treating the palace as a battlefield."
"Isn't the palace a battlefield?"
Jia Pingan retorted.
The old maid appeared, she walked slowly, looking dazed and helpless.
Good acting!
"Old Shao, where did you find this woman?"
Shao Peng proudly said: "There are too many people waiting in the palace."
Those who can survive are fine, human beings.
The old maid came slowly, Jia Pingan nodded, "Let Your Highness come out."
Li Hong came out from behind, and someone saluted, "I have seen Your Highness!"
All eyes shifted over.
At this moment, the old lady's body shook, she opened her mouth, reached out to grab at random, but only caught the air.
The panic in those eyes!
Damn it!
This is simply a natural and seamless performance.
Boom!
The old maid fell down.
Just as Shao Peng wanted to speak, Jia Pingan frowned, "Old Shao, let His Highness do it himself."
Shao Peng said in a low voice: "Your Highness is afraid..."
His spine shivered, "If His Highness is allowed to lie, I'm afraid there will be problems."
That little baby, no matter how much you teach him to cheat or act, he will eventually be found out.
Old Shao’s reaction was really fast. Master Jia knew that the child’s acting was inappropriate, and he reacted purely from IQ.
No wonder Ajie relies on him so much.
"Your Highness."
Li Hong moved his short legs and hurried over.
The people in front avoided one after another and turned to look at him.
Li Hong walked up to the old maid and asked anxiously, "Does it hurt from the fall?"
The old maid raised her head, with sweat on her forehead, she took a breath, "Your Highness, I... I am fine."
Li Hong turned around, "Call the medical officer, hurry up."
This is a very natural reaction, and there is no trace of acting at all.
The old maid was startled, "I dare not."
There is a special place in the palace for the treatment of palace people, and there are medical officers in the palace. But just a fall and let the medical officer come to the scene, you are so beautiful!
Li Hong turned around, frowned and said, "If you're injured, just look at it, if you don't have enough money..."
He turned back and looked at Shao Peng, "How much money do you have?"
This kid...
Shaopeng approached, "Your Highness has a lot of money."
Li Hong pointed to the old maid, and said in an irrefutable tone: "Give her money to see a doctor."
Everyone is watching this scene.
The old maid knew that she was here to act, and she did her best to complete her task, but at this moment she still choked up and said, "Your Highness is merciful."
This is a child's instinctive reaction, not false.
The maids and servants who saw this scene were all moved.
The weak are saved by the strong, this is the most touching thing.
Jia Ping'an said to Zhou Shanxiang: "Tell them to start. Also, don't let His Highness go back too early, later...go around more."
…
"Today, His Highness met someone who fell, and even sent someone to call the medical officer, and said that he would pay her for the medicine."
…
"Today, someone was seriously ill. His Highness just happened to meet him. Immediately, he sent someone to help that person go back for treatment."
…
"Did you know that His Highness actually rescued an old court lady today."
…
"His Royal Highness saw an old palace lady who was seriously ill and helpless today, and she actually shed tears."
…
It's time for the office, Ming Jing returns to the palace.
As soon as I entered the palace, I found many people talking about something.
My fire of gossip!
Ming Jing leaned over and said with a smile: "But what's the good thing?"
The two maids who were talking about the matter sighed: "His Royal Highness saved an old maid today, seeing how pitiful she was, she shed tears."
Ming Jing: "..."
Wu Mei couldn't help stretching after finishing handling the political affairs.
The servants around him put away all the memorials, and they will send them to the emperor later.
"Where's Goro?"
Wu Mei got up and walked around a few times.
"His Royal Highness hasn't returned yet."
"What the **** is Ping An doing?"
Wu Mei walked out slowly, "He has a lot of ideas, but it's his reputation. How can you stop him from talking?"
She walked outside the hall, "Go and see His Majesty."
She knew that she could not just be the emperor's assistant, but also... Pingan said that before Goro was the prince, he was the empress's child first. In the same way, before she was the emperor's assistant, she was his wife first.
Don't go wrong!
When she read the memorabilia earlier, she couldn't help but feel a little bit of arrogance to point out the country, but now she thinks that such arrogance is inexplicable, so she can't keep it.
Be careful!
She reminded herself.
Walk out slowly all the way.
"...that court lady vomited blood, and His Highness didn't dislike her, so she got something to wipe and asked someone to carry her to treat her."
"It was His Highness who asked Shao Zhongguan to give her money!"
"Your Highness is indeed kind."
Wu Mei: "..."
The two court ladies quickly saluted after seeing her.
Wu Mei said kindly: "What you are talking about...is the prince?"
"yes."
A court lady's eyes shone with the familiar light of Wu Mei. She was like this when she first entered the palace, thinking that she could counterattack all the way and eventually become the most honorable woman.
The maid said: "Many people are talking about this! Everyone says His Highness is kind."
Is this the means of peace?
Wu Mei was overjoyed, and stepped faster.
Not far away, they met Li Hong and his party who had returned.
"Queen."
Zhou Shanxiang approached and said in a low voice: "Nowadays, His Highness's reputation for benevolence is spreading outside. At the beginning, some people said that His Highness has a bad temper, was scolded by everyone, and was extremely embarrassed. Empress, His Highness's reputation... is fine."
Ping An did not disappoint me!
"How?"
Wu Mei wanted to know what the little brother had done, but she was able to reverse the public opinion in the palace in half a day.
That person...Zhou Shanxiang said with admiration: "The Marquis of Wuyang ordered an old maid to go to a crowded place and pretend to fall, and then we happened to pass by. His Highness was kind, so he went to deal with it spontaneously, and asked someone to invite a medical officer, and said that he would take care of himself. The money to give the palace lady medical treatment..."
"That's it?"
Wu Mei was a little surprised, "Can the public opinion be reversed in this way?"
"The Marquis of Wuyang ordered dozens of people to spread the matter everywhere, and then more and more people spread it..."
"Good means!"
Wu Mei smiled and said: "I thought he would defend Goro, but I didn't expect him...what is this called? An eye for an eye?"
If Jia Ping’an was there, he would tell her what this is called: public opinion offensive, competing for traffic.
Use one thing to suppress another!
"Ignore those rumors, just create something that can counter that rumor..."
Wu Mei nodded, "Where are you safe?"
"Auntie."
Li Hong came over, "Uncle is out of the palace and said he is going to patrol the streets."
"Ping An has worked hard."
Wu Mei was moved.
Shao Peng said in a low voice: "Queen, there is a saying in Baiqi, which is called Marquis of Wuyang Xunjie...Leave early."
Would you be lazy like this?
Some people thought that the queen would reprimand her, but Wu Mei laughed and said, "He worked hard today, so I will send some fresh melons and fruits to Daodefang later, to make up for him."
Zhou Shanxiang whispered: "Queen, people will gossip about you."
This gesture... Marquis Wuyang leaves early and you return the reward, and you still say something to make up for it, and then the officials outside are going to bluff again.
Wu Mei said contemptuously: "It's just a parrot."
"Aniang, my feet are sore."
Li Hong grabbed her by the sleeve and yelled.
This child is really close to me!
Wu Meixiao's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she was gentle like never before, "Aniang is holding you, let's go to His Majesty's place."
Wu Mei led Li Hong along the way to find the emperor.
When they arrived at a crowded place, everyone saluted one after another.
"Meet the Queen."
"Meet Your Highness!"
Several old maids pointed at Li Hongfu, "Your Highness is merciful."
In the past, Wu Mei led Li Hong to walk in the palace, and most of her eyes were on her, but today is different...
She looked down, and saw Li Hong with a serious expression on his face.
Shao Peng said: "What those old maids are most afraid of is that when they are old, no one cares about them. Your Highness's move... Many people say that your majesty and the empress are good at teaching."
Huh!
"Who said this?"
Well!
Shao Peng laughed dryly and said, "The Marquis of Wuyang sent someone to pass on a message, so I added one more sentence."
No matter how good the great nephew is, he can't steal the limelight from his parents. Any achievements are due to his parents' training...
Shaopeng thinks that Jia Ping'an is too much, always pushing the empress... Is this flattering?
But the prince was wronged.
Wu Mei smiled, and then went to Li Zhi's place.
Lai Ji was talking about something, but Wu Mei went straight in and stood beside Li Hong.
He came to Ji to salute, and then continued to say: "Your Majesty, if you don't seize the farming season, the people of the country will have more than food; if you don't seize the silkworms, the people of the country will have more than clothes. Therefore, the emperor's support is only to save his conscripts. Today Shandong employs tens of thousands of civilian husbands, taking away the farming season, and the minister suggested that... except for the necessary servants of the public, the rest will be exempted."
Li Zhi nodded, "I deeply agree with Laiqing's words. The people who serve the people must do what they can, and they must not exhaust the water. The time of seizing agriculture is only one of them. The people are too tired to serve, and the owner of the cattle and land has to let him eat well. Let it rest more, how can it come back to people and not let it go?"
He was a little annoyed, "The people are not cattle and horses, this matter will be discussed tomorrow... Forget it, who is on duty in the palace? Let him draw up the edict and issue it immediately."
Later, Li Yifu came in in a hurry, and Li Zhi said about it, "But draw up an imperial edict immediately, and tell the ministers that this matter should not be delayed, and I will make the decision arbitrarily."
Li Yifu's article is outstanding, but it only took a while. After he recited it, Li Zhi praised: "Li Qing's talent is outstanding, which makes me happy."
Li Yifu immediately resigned and saluted Wu Mei before leaving.
The old man belongs to the queen.
But the queen's people are the emperor's people.
This is a roundabout allegiance.
After saluting, he pretended to glance at the emperor casually.
Sure enough, Li Zhi just watched this scene with a smile.
The emperor allowed the empress to recruit a few confidantes, but...to be a man, Li Yifu knew that he was on the right team when he saw this.
The queen's confidant is the emperor's confidant, don't make a mistake.
Laiji immediately took leave and saluted.
He was a member of the opposition to the abolition of Wang Liwu, so his expression was indifferent, and so was Wu Mei.
Lai Ji's father was the guardian of the former Sui navy general. When he opposed Wu Mei as the empress, his speech was too fierce. He compared Wu Mei to a maid, saying that there is no reason to make a maid as empress. Another daughter of a famous family was appointed as the queen.
So there is an irreconcilable conflict between him and Wu Mei.
Li Zhi naturally knew this, but his expression was calm, and he didn't speak out to coordinate.
After Lai Ji left, Li Zhi asked, "Why did you come together today?"
Wu Mei smiled and said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that someone in the palace slandered Wu Lang?"
Li Zhi's eyes became more gloomy, "I have sent people to investigate, such things...should be severely punished."
But what about the prince’s reputation?
Severe punishment?
Most of this was done by a concubine in the harem. What if the emperor finds out?
Most of them just let it go!
Wu Mei is no stranger to this method of restraint, she was the candidate to restrain Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu back then.
"Your Majesty doesn't know that Wulang's benevolence is being spread in the palace."
Huh!
Li Zhi asked in surprise, "But what did Goro do?"
Wu Mei stepped aside and said to Li Hong, "Tell me about it."
Li Hong held back his words, "It's just... a palace lady fell, and the child asked someone to save her."
The words were very simple, but Li Zhi knew there was something wrong with it.
"Goro has a kind heart, and my heart is very comforting."
Li Zhi praised Li Hong a few words, and asked Wang Zhongliang to take him out to play.
"what happened?"
Li Zhi asked with a smile.
"Speaking of this matter... the concubine called Ping An into the palace and asked him to give an idea on this matter. He took Wulang out and made an old palace lady fall down in a crowded place. Immediately after Wulang saw it, he couldn't bear it. It is calling for medical treatment, and it is also saying that the maid is pitiful, and wants to use my own money to treat her illness."
Li Zhi's eyes became more gentle, "Goro has a kind heart."
The conversation changed, and Li Zhi asked: "This matter can't be immediate..."
"Peace made people spread the matter in the palace again."
This is…
Li Zhi couldn't help being surprised, "Someone slandered Wulang, Jia Ping'an did the opposite!"
For the first time, the battle of public opinion in later generations shined brightly in the palace.
…
Thanks to the book friend "Three Crouching Dragons", and congratulations to Jazz for having another leader. Ha ha ha ha!
It's the last day of this month, ask for a monthly pass!
Good night!
