Young Minister: "There are all kinds of rumors. Of course, there are all kinds of rumors, and they can all be related to each other. For example, during the national war, you held the golden staff and the red festival to guard the prime minister's city and supervise the army on my behalf, so you blackmailed the people of the original prime minister's country.
, the treasures plundered were piled up like mountains in the poor palace."
Huwa: "This is not completely fictitious. All the clans and families in the original Prime Minister's Kingdom sent heavy gifts. They really piled up like mountains. Later, you used them to fill the country's warehouse."
Shao Wu: "There's something even more outrageous! Do you remember the golden staff I gave you? It's made of gold. Most people can't hold it. You just used it to beat Zheng Gu to death with your own hands. Now.
Some people said that you were greedy for the ritual utensil, and later you plucked out the red bristles and melted the golden staff into gold nuggets and took it home."
Although Huwa was calm and extraordinary, he almost choked at this moment: "This, this, this is too bizarre, isn't it? No one with any brain would believe it. How greedy for money and life-threatening is it to do this?"
Shaowu explained: "Things like the Golden Rod and Red Festival are of course too bizarre and exaggerated to make people believe them. But exaggerated and bizarre things are always the most exciting and can spread the fastest and most widely.
It is suitable for boring daily jokes. But this is not the only rumor against you, and other things will also spread everywhere. Some are not credible, and some are unavoidably doubtful.
Even if some people question it, there will also be people who ask, "Rot flies don't bite seamless eggs. There are so many people in the world, why do you have so many criticisms? Some rumors may add details, but they must not arise without wind, and they must not be without them."
Based on the evidence, the final conclusion must still have your problem. This is the human heart!"
Huwa could only shake his head and said: "Who said flies can't bite eggs without seams? What if it wasn't a fly but an eagle, you could peck open all the eggshells and pick out the bones inside the egg! Say it's me
Of course there is a problem with me, because I have walked in this world and done so many things, otherwise where would the rumors come from? Unless I have never been in this world."
Shao Wu: "Don't be too busy sighing, there are more! It is said that you originally set your sights on the dragon's blood tree in the forbidden area of Pengshan. You took advantage of the achievements of the national war and gained power by relying on the favor of the king. Let me bring Pengshan to you.
The forbidden mountain land is awarded to you, occupying the treasured cultivation land that has been guarded by various sects for hundreds of years.
When it comes to your meritorious service in the national war, some people say that you have never been on the battlefield at all. You just relied on your reputation and status to follow and supervise the army, but you took the biggest advantage and credit..."
Huwa nodded and said: "It is true that I did not rush to kill in front of the formation. Except for one attack when we captured Xiangdu City, at other times, I have always followed the formation to supervise the army."
The young minister was a little anxious: "How can you say that! I have never gone into battle to kill in the national war. So, I haven't achieved even an inch of success?"
Huwa patted Shaowu on the shoulder and said: "Brother, don't be excited. You should know the intention of those people spreading rumors, and you don't need to say more. I can make up more by myself when I look back on my past experiences... Just
However, where are these people spreading rumors? Will the people who hear it really believe these things? If all the people in Bashi Kingdom are like this, I think you, the king, will not feel better."
The Shaowu sighed and said: "This is more troublesome! The people behind the scenes are obviously good at this. They know your popularity in the country and are respected by everyone. So if someone does this, it must be a challenge.
When the incident broke out, the place where the rumors first spread happened to be around your most respected Feihong City and Longma City. Do you know what the result will be?"
Huwa finally said with a gloomy face: "Some local people will be angered!"
The young minister slapped his thigh and said, "That's right. But this is what some people have been waiting for! Rumors will inevitably cause trouble, and trouble will stir up more rumors. In a short period of time, it has spread all over Bayuan."
"
In many places in Bayuan, Huwa is revered by all people, especially in Feihong City and Longma City, where "Mr. Little" is revered as a god by the local people. The people of Bayuan are simple and honest, and most ordinary people will not harbor ill intentions without reason.
Even if you are dealing with people you have never met or have nothing to do with, let alone a young gentleman.
Someone specially went to that area and specifically picked a crowded market to speak ill of the young gentleman. He would definitely be scolded by everyone. The market is not a court, so what exactly is going on. No one can tell. Anyway, the spreader claimed that it was just
I heard that now that it has been spread, it should be like that, but I didn’t expect that the young gentleman turned out to be such a person...
It is conceivable that under the ridicule and provocation of well-intentioned people, conflicts can easily lead to conflicts. Some of those who spoke ill of Huwa were scolded and some were beaten. This is the result that you can imagine with your eyes closed.
.For example, the Shaowu received an urgent report about something very strange that happened in Feihong City Market.
Some people deliberately spread various criticisms against young teachers, but were discouraged and scolded by the people. As a result, this group of people turned to ridicule and cursed the local people, saying that they were ignorant, blindly obedient, or simply members of the Peng Keng family.
This lackey obviously wanted to stir up trouble, so it turned into a scolding.
In the chaos, someone took the opportunity to shout: "How dare you slander the young gentleman here? It's so painful!" Some people took the lead, and some took the opportunity to stir up trouble. It soon turned into a melee fight, saying that Huwa was
The guys who spoke ill of him were beaten with bruises on their noses and faces, and many nearby stalls and shops were affected, causing considerable losses.
This kind of thing happened not only once or twice. In places where Huwa is more respected by the people, the more people will do it, as if they are deliberately looking for a beating. In many cases, it will not cause large-scale chaotic conflicts, but
There is always someone who "steps forward" at the right time and takes the lead and calls on everyone to join in.
The young master judged that among the onlookers, the accomplices of the rumor-mongers had already been ambushed. They pretended to be indignant because the young gentleman was slandered, and on the surface they defended Huwa, but in fact they just wanted to find opportunities to stir up chaos.
"Mob behavior" has become the latest rumored "evidence" of Mr. Peng Keng's crime, and it actually happened in front of everyone.
Huwa is indeed revered by the people in many places, and in more places in Bayuan, such as the land of the original Zhengshi Kingdom, and today's Silk Kingdom and Fanshi Kingdom, although Huwa is famous, it is not as famous as in Bashi.
The country is as respected by the people as the Yuanxiangshi Kingdom, and most people have only heard of his name and deeds. It is like a distant legend.
Now, new content has been added to the legend about Mr. Peng Keng. It turns out that he not only committed various lewd and evil deeds, but also did not allow anyone to say a bad word about him in the Bashi Kingdom. He was simply overbearing and arrogant.
In many places in Bashi Country and Yuanxiangshi Country, most people would not believe such rumors. However, in more and further places in Bayuan, people had no impression of Huwa at first. They neither knew him nor knew him.
Having dealt with him, they knew Huwa from such rumors.
Hearing this, Huwa shook his head again and sighed: "I have just returned from traveling for several years. I just stayed in seclusion deep in Pengshan Mountain for a period of time. When I came out, I found that I had become a powerful official and a murderer who committed all kinds of evil.
I have deceived the people until now, but I can’t hide it anymore. In the past five hundred years of Ba Yuan, it seems that there has never been a villain as famous as me!"
Shao Wu: "You actually have the heart to joke! Do you know the real horror of such a thing? It does not lie in the truth, or even whether you can clarify it, but that you have no idea how widely it will spread and how widespread it will be.
Where to.
Even if the storm seems to have subsided on the surface, even if you can trace the source of the rumors, know who did it for what purpose, and clarify everything, the consequences are actually very difficult to undo.
You don’t know how long it will take or how far away strangers who have never met you will still speak dirty words when they mention you. You don’t know what’s going on, and even trying to explain is in vain.
, because you can’t find anywhere or anyone to explain such a thing clearly.”
As a monarch, Shaowu has a deep understanding of the world's conditions and people's hearts. As early as the national war that year, the Bashi Kingdom sent many spies to various places in Bayuan in advance. They spread various rumors, causing Shaowu to launch an army to occupy the territory.
In the name of righteousness, it shakes the opponent's military morale.
Now that Shaowu is encountering such a thing, how could he not know the dangers? However, the opponent is also very unusual. He has obviously planned it and used every conceivable method. In fact, those messages directed at Huwa, I originally understood
Most people will not believe Huwa's various deeds. But everyone does not need to believe the other side, as long as some people are skeptical and spread it.
Although Huwa is famous, and almost all the important people in Bayuan know about his deeds, there are still many people in remote places who have never heard of Huwa and don't know who he is. For such people.
It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. They had nothing to do with Huwa. Now they just know that there is such a person and such things.
Huwa let out a long sigh and looked up at Shaowu Dao: "This is my experience and testimony in the world! Now I have traveled all over the Five Kingdoms of Bayuan and understood the evolution of the world's love. Things like this will always be expressed in different ways.
It happened in a certain way. Let alone the Ba country under your rule, let alone the Ba Yuan today, even thousands of years later, it will not be eliminated in the entire world, and I just happened to meet it."
Shao Wu looked at Huwa and said with some temper: "Junior brother, you are really a master now. Your cultivation level is much higher than mine, and some of your moods are hard for me to understand... But you don't look surprised or angry.
, also called Brother Wei, what do you think?"
Huwa: "How do you know that I am not surprised or angry? But after practicing so far, I know what is going on, why should I still mess up my mood? I am indeed a little surprised, but after careful consideration, it is not surprising. Bayuan Shang
There are many people who respect me, but there are also many who hate me, and it is normal to look for opportunities to vent their anger. If there are people plotting in the middle, there are also many who will take advantage of the situation and add fuel to the flames."
Huwa is telling the truth. He has offended many people in Bayuan over the years and has made many enemies. As far as the clan is concerned, many people in the Beast Mountain and Yingzhu Ridge will hate him. As far as the clan is concerned,
It is said that Huwa helped Shaowu win the position of clan leader at the Baichuan City Meeting, and most of the clan members of the other four kingdoms would not have a good impression of him, especially since he also personally killed Zheng Gu and had an affair with the Zheng family clan.
They also formed a deadly feud.
These things are considered "big", and there are many "small" ones. For example, the Ding Gong clan in the Bashi Kingdom and the Hexiang clan in the Fanshi Kingdom. I am afraid that many people hate Huwa. And now
The timing was very coincidental. The chief minister took advantage of Yeliangcheng's case to rectify the atmosphere in the country and deal with many people. It must also have touched the interests of many forces in the country.
These people dare not openly express their complaints, nor dare they disrespect the monarch directly, but they may have resentment towards the tiger baby who caused the trouble. Even if they will not take the initiative to plan anything, if they encounter such a thing, they may
Secretly fueling the flames. So speaking of it, these are the "causes" left by Huwa himself, and now they have become the "results". (To be continued.)
