Chapter 693 Public Opinion

"Princess!"

Qiu Li and his wife were preparing for their trip to Yanzhou. Halfway through the preparation, they suddenly became a little worried. The princess said it was clear that the battle had begun. Then - it must be very dangerous. Shouldn't she go on this trip?

While he was struggling, there was a sudden noise outside. Magistrate Wang and County Magistrate Zhou arrived in a hurry, but they didn't care about etiquette and went straight into the yard and whispered loudly, "Princess, the government office is here, the court has known about the life span!"

Gu Xiang raised his eyebrows and was a little surprised.

Qiuli opened the door and showed a red face of Magistrate Wang. Gu Xiang chuckled: "Oh? It seems that Magistrate Wang has received praise?"

Zhou County Wei smiled and said, "Yes."

He paused: "Although the princess asked for merit for the gentry and merchants headed by the Niu family, his Majesty also approved it and will make an order to announce it to the world."

Gu Xiang breathed out a little, and then he felt at ease.

Although she was very sure, after all, from what she saw, His Majesty was a person who knew flexibility. With just a few words of praise and a little reputation, the local gentry could do their best to relieve disasters and ease the situation. No matter how you look at it, it would be beneficial to the court without any disadvantages.

But after all, she took action first and then reported the matter. If the Niu family and other big families cannot do what they want in the end, Gu Xiang's face will definitely not be able to bear it.

Zhou County Magistrate whispered: "The news from the capital is that some ministers believe that merchants such as the Niu family are suspected of being famous. If the court is accurate, it will be inappropriate, and this matter will almost be a big deal. Fortunately, the ministers in the court still understand more things."

"Also, we sent so many documents in front of us, more than half of them did not go to the capital, and the other half was suppressed in the capital, and they were not sent to the tables of the husbands in the Political Affairs Hall, let alone sent them to the palace for His Majesty to see."

The Zhou County Magistrate was angry and said, "The postmen sent out, those who entered the capital, were detained. As for those who did not enter the capital, hey, if they were not in their lives and corpses, it would be a lot of danger."

Before he could finish his sentence, Zhou County Magistrate had shut up.

Gu Xiang thought something.

Magistrate Wang wiped his face and said, "If you can't get over this matter, the court will find out the truth. We don't have the energy to investigate it carefully now, and wait for the results of the court."

He paused, breathed, and gently bit the tip of his tongue, with a warm face, "Now His Majesty has sent an imperial envoy to investigate the case strictly, and that person..."

The voice was so weak that the mosquitoes and flies were weak, "It was the future 'prince' who had caused a lot of storms in the city. He raised 180,000 jin of food and salary in the capital and urgently sent more than ten servants to the disaster areas in various places. Two of them came first and brought 50,000 jin of food. As soon as the people entered the city, they were sharing the food for the people at the south gate... They said that they would come to see each other immediately after the food was finished."

Qiu Li and his wife looked at each other in surprise.

It’s really a sudden change. Why does it seem like the rain passes by and the sky clears up and the dark clouds disappear in an instant?

Gu Xiang looked out the window, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed and he chuckled: "Prince, Prince."

She blinked and reached out and called the old dog over: "Take out all the heroic stories of heroes that we have sorted out recently, and send them to each gentleman, and increase efforts to push them out. Didn't you contact the capital? Send them to the capital."

"Whether it is the soldiers in Yongyi's army or the ordinary people who picked up a shoulder pole to fight the enemy bravely on the same day, find more people who can speak and write, the more popular they write, the better."

"By the way, the deeds of Magistrate Wang have been widely circulated now, so I have to work harder. The Niu family must be interested in the famous things. In this regard, they have rich financial resources and wide paths. I would like to hint them to make them work harder."

The old dog laughed and replied.

For a time, the song of heroes was sung everywhere.

Even those brothels changed their styles. For a moment, heroes sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Everyone's stories were particularly touching and real.

Among these heroes, there are officials, businessmen, sons and poor people who beg for food. They can be said to be in all kinds of religions and everything is possible, especially those at the bottom. They are very close to the people, and the people are proud of their hearing, and the speed of circulating is naturally quite fast.

"Brother Wang, you are very capable. Miss Xixi and the others said that the notebook has spread all over the city, and the wind is about to blow to the capital."

Qiuli sighed while handing the notebooks sent by the old dog to her little lady.

Gu Xiang looked through a few pages and couldn't help but smile on his face: "It's really well written."

At the beginning, you can see some signs of stacking words, but the later writing becomes more and more easy to understand, which makes it quite interesting.

These are written by some young local literati, and some are not even scholars.

Qiu Li blinked and wondered: "Why is the little lady so concerned about this? Since she has contacted the court, she should not be able to pay attention to these wealthy families borrowing food. Why do you have to work so hard to make them famous?"

Gu Xiang smiled: "What's wrong with being famous for being famous? I can't say that when I encounter such a thing again in the future, other wealthy families are willing to lend a helping hand. Moreover, they didn't just promote the gentry, and there were more ordinary people."

Qiuli knew as soon as she heard this, the little lady was fooling herself.

At least, this is not very comprehensive.

Gu Xiang smiled, and didn't say much.

She was actually just preparing for the future. She suspected that the "fake prince" in the capital wanted to seek fame and win the hearts of the people, and might have other ideas. Since she thought of these, Gu Xiang did not want the other party's plan to succeed.

He seemed to want to give himself a good character who came from the people, compassionately and cared for the people, so Gu Xiang would let everyone see what a real hero is like.

The "fake prince" worked hard to collect food and grass in the capital, and some people went into the mountains alone to hunt wolves in order to find more rations for the Yongyi Army, who was brave enough to kill the enemy. In Shouling County, the gentry donated food and supplies, and the doctors gave free medicine. In order to treat the people, they fainted on the spot.

Even the craftsmen who were performing arts in the tile donated all the money saved from their mouths to the county government to buy food to resist the bandits.

With so many heroes, the compassion of nobles in the capital will definitely be lost in the public and will not cause too much storm.

Within two days, Gu Xiang heard someone in the near future, saying that the "Prince" is pure and has a real concern for the people. He is worthy of being a prince who has been in the people for so many years. He is different from the dragon, son, phoenix grandson who grew up in the palace.

However, as Gu Xiang expected, these rumors are no different from other stories told by the gentlemen who rap on stage.

Even because the rapist definitely cannot joke about the "Prince Prince", he dare not say that the topic of "Prince Prince" is simply impossible to compare with other stories.
