Chapter 459: Power of public opinion

The people of Jingshi are now very accustomed to the existence of "Jingshi Daily".
This newspaper was published relatively early. When he started working on newspapers in Luzhou, Xiahoudi began to prepare simultaneously after receiving a report from Luzhou Zhou’s head catching. He personally named the editor-in-chief, and Xiao Ai was the deputy editor-in-chief. In actual work, the sisters of Baihuayuan also became reporters and editors. When Xue Mu went to Jianzhou, the first issue of "Jingshi Daily" had already been published, and due to the extremely strong market culture of Jingshi, this daily newspaper was a true daily. The daily issue was much more sold than Lingzhou. .
In fact, Xiahoudi knew the role of newspapers as a propaganda position. Xue Mu had nodded with Zhou Coutou at the beginning, intending to break the Buddhist propaganda monopoly of Wugui Temple at an appropriate time. She also draws inferences about it. From the first day of its birth, the Jingshi Daily has played a role in guiding public opinion. For example, XX has various rumors. She uses the daily newspaper to divert everyone to know the correct information, or the information that six doors want everyone to know. This has been a long time.
But in the final analysis, this is only a continuation of the way "Memorabilia" in the early years, and it is limited to the direction of "correcting the source of news".
The limitations of culture make Xiahoudi and Xiaoai both think that newspapers are just entertaining, and they have not considered opening up a separate section for current affairs to cram private goods in the political direction. Even if this idea is occasionally flashed, they think it will affect it. Sales are right.
Facts have proved that Jingshi is a Jingshi after all.
When people discovered that the new issue of "Jingshi Daily" had more current affairs pages, some imperial court officials opened columns to talk about current affairs. Xiao Ai just finished the first phase, and the scale is not good enough. The scale of this phase is very large. I actually analyzed the composition of the various parties there in detail, and evaluated who has the highest hope. Even Xue Mu shook after watching it. It has crossed the age... Can the party struggles of this year be so fair? People who don’t know thought that the Bay Bay campaign...
However, the effect of the strong medicine is really good. The daily newspapers of this issue sold out within half an hour, and the children who sold the newspapers were almost squashed.
The Zhengshitang hadn’t had time to respond. Should we ban such over-standard current reviews. As a result, the newspaper came out the next day. The Zhengshitang that was supposed to discuss was suddenly silent. Everyone was holding a newspaper, and their eyes came out from the corner of the newspaper. , Quietly observe Xiahoudi.
Xiahoudi stared blankly, his face flushed and white.
In fact, there is nothing else, that is, the current review mentioned the hot topic of paving the road recently, and briefly introduced the whole story. The opinions of the leaders of the political affairs hall will be found in the beginning of the spring. Attached a column comment, indicating that the merits of the present day benefit the future and so on.
This is a very normal comment. In fact, the news that the capital is spreading in the past few days, everyone is discussing it, and putting it in the newspaper only increases the degree of certainty, and there is no problem. To say there is a difference, it's just that the usual news is only about incidents, and this time there are comments attached, nothing more.
But what's interesting is that when referring to the attitudes of the bigwigs on the matter in this news, they used "Su Xiangguo", "Gonggong Li", "Princess Li" and "Princess Di".
Princess Di...
Although the newspaper was immediately halted by the Publications Department as soon as it was released, and was re-published as "Xiahou General Arrest", the original "Princess Di" typographical error has spread throughout the capital.
The entire Jingshi was very happy.
In fact, Xiahoudi’s identity as an
illegitimate princess
has been passed on for more than three years. Since she took the position of the six-door arrester, she has been dissatisfied by some people-I have to say that there are many of Xuanzhe's subordinates. , Maliciously spread the rumors, and then private discussions everywhere. Even when Xue Muchu came to the expensive land, he heard this rumor. It is impossible for the people of the capital to have not heard of it.
And Xiahoudi is indeed easy to suspect that she is an illegitimate princess. After all, she came from the palace, and her origins are easy to think about here. In addition, she can enter and exit the palace, and she has a relationship with Qi Wang Tang and even more princes. She has always been very close, and her character does not deliberately avoid suspicion. A few doubts prove that this rumor has quite a market.
It's just that Ji Qingyuan's attitude is ambiguous, and he never said a word about it, so there is no evidence. After all, it can only be a rumor of "catching wind and shadow". Some people who are more rigid and square are unwilling to believe in such undocumented and unfounded suspicions, and even heavyweights like Su Duancheng say it is just a rumor.
And Xiahoudi herself has always tried to deny the princess rumors, and even turned her face with a knife for this. Everyone knows that Xiahoudi hates others saying that she is in the position of arrest because of her status as a princess, and only hopes that people Saw the merits of her six doors.
Over time, the rumors gradually faded, and no one mentioned it anymore, and even new rumors emerged, indicating that it was a child bride for some princes, and they would get married sooner or later.
This rumor also has a certain market, and can match the origins and performance of Xiahoudi, plus Qi Wang and Tang Wang are still unmarried, the strength of this rumor even has the meaning of overshadowing the illegitimate daughter.
Many people have said that given the relationship between Xiahoudi and the princes, it is not uncommon to marry which prince one day, and the princess's legend should rest.
This may be what Ji Qingyuan has been thinking about.
But on this day, the Jingshi Daily publicly wrote: Princess Di.
No one would think that Xia Houdi did it herself. She has denied it for so many years. She has moved the knife for this, and her attitude is obvious. And as an important minister, her personal power is not a joke. There are a lot of imperial methods to take her time, and she will not use this abrupt way to put herself under the discussion of the whole capital city and put herself on fire. .
So this is mostly the inner story of Yushi who wrote the column, and the clerical errors were exposed to the outside, and the reviewing editor did not know whether it was deliberate, or did not notice, and let this commentary be sent out...
This is not a "rumor" to explain this. At least it can prove that some officials think that Xiahoudi is the princess, and they have made a typo...
At the same time, there was heated discussion among the people: Is Xiahoudi a princess?
The whole Jingshi streets and lanes were talking about this matter, and the incident was finally forced to deal with it.
Many officials couldn’t sit still. Many people ran to the clan’s mansion and asked for an answer. Related memorials flew up to the court. The main point was one: There is nothing trivial in the heavenly family. Whether it is a princess or not, you have to give an explanation. It is to be canonized, not to refute the rumors by the government, in short, this unclear situation cannot be allowed to continue.
The Zhengshitang was silent, and Xiahoudi remained silent for a while. She knew very well in her heart that this was not a clerical error, it was deliberate, it must be Xue Mu operating it, why did he do it like this?
She remembered the conversation with the old servant that night:
If Xue Mu did it for herself, she would not want her to be a princess. Because of the shackles of the princess' identity, it is even more difficult for him to own her.
-And if it's for her, then I hope her will be rectified. Because no one wants to bear the name of wild species for a lifetime.
Xiahoudi sighed for a long time, and said lightly: "What do you think?"
After a moment of silence, Li Yingqing said, "It's better to give an explanation. It's not a problem to keep going like this. In fact, it should have been understood long ago. The dignified arrests are always discussed by the market about whether it is an illegitimate daughter or a child bride. , It’s really ugly. I don’t know what your Majesty thinks. It’s time to give an explanation today."
Su Duancheng also sighed, and said to Li Gonggong: "After all, it is a royal internal affair, whether it is or not, no one can make a conclusion except your majesty himself. Please convey the opinions of your colleagues to your majesty and let your majesty consider it."
Xiahoudi didn't have the mind to continue the meeting, and left early, heading straight to Baihuayuan.
Zhuo Qingqing and Xiao Ai are discussing something, Xiahoudi rushed in and grabbed Xiao Ai, "What do you mean by the manager!"
Xiao Ai hasn't answered yet, Zhuo Qingqing said leisurely by her side: "The son said, you draw your sword to fight for him, and he will return you a princess."
Xiahoudi said angrily: "Fart! Doing so puts me on the fire!"
Zhuo Qingqing shook his head: "Other people's discussions are only those who make the decision. It is your father who makes the decision. If he is put on the fire, he is the one who roasts. Even if he is still pressed, as long as the wind continues to blow, people will treat you as you It is the princess's idea that will slowly solidify, and the so-called child bride-in-law will not be mentioned.
Xiahoudi said angrily: "That means I will be discussed for a long time?"
Zhuo Qingqing smiled: "Don't you forget to catch your head? Tomorrow is the court ceremony?"
