The first thousand and eighty-nine chapters build momentum
People often have double standards.
If they identify a good person, even if they do something a little out of line, they can express their understanding and even provide explanations.
At this moment, this is almost the case.
The motorcade occupies the entire width of the avenue, causing the people to crowd on both sides. Is this too much?
it goes without saying.
However, reality is often very emotional.
Many things need to be viewed from many angles and factors.
When the man who allowed the convoy to occupy the entire width of the avenue and move forward at a very slow speed turned into the legendary "Wise King", then the nature of the matter was different.
Complain?
It doesn't exist, it was just a slip of the tongue.
At this moment, in their eyes, the current arrangement of the fleet is a bit low for His Highness King Yu. At the very least, it is appropriate to fully occupy the length of this avenue.
As for the team's speed being too slow, they can understand it.
His Royal Highness, Prince Yu, sneaked into the barbarian land regardless of his noble status as a prince, and eventually his foundation was destroyed for the sake of Da Li.
Ordinary people don't know much about extraordinary beings, but they generally know what will happen if a person's foundation is destroyed.
His Royal Highness Prince Yu, whose foundation has now been destroyed, is naturally in poor health.
Therefore, the reason why the speed of the convoy is so slow is because His Highness Prince Yu's body cannot bear too much bumps.
No one needed to explain, when the identity of Di Xin in the carriage was guessed, these people naturally found the most suitable reason for the convoy's behavior.
In fact, they wished that the motorcade could be slower at this moment. It would be better if His Royal Highness King Yu came out of the carriage and allowed them to see the face of the "Wise King".
But it was a pity that Di Xin obviously did not satisfy their ideas. Even though he did not let the team increase the speed, he did not lift the curtain of the car and come out.
He just sat silently in the carriage, listening to the complaints from the people on both sides of the road that gradually turned into exclamations and praises.
The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Of course, Di Xin had no intention of playing tricks on these people, and he did not need to bully these people to declare his superior status.
The main reason why the convoy slowed down after entering the city gate was to create momentum.
That's right, building momentum.
It is enough just to let some people know that when he comes back, the big flag with the word "Yu" embroidered on it will appear at the city gate.
Those who can identify the person to whom the flag belongs will naturally tell the master behind it.
But Di Xin wanted more than this, otherwise he wouldn't have waited one more day in the woods outside the city.
This time it was because the old emperor was critically ill and he was recalled urgently, not because of his achievements in conquering the barbarian lands. Apart from necessary appearances, there was no way to make it too public.
Even though he didn't care much about the old emperor's situation, his current status was not easy to show openly.
However, just because he couldn't create momentum on his own didn't mean that he had to enter the city quietly.
That's why he waited an extra day.
If the people spontaneously created momentum for him, then no one could find a reason to blame him.
After controlling the public opinion for more than two years, under the subtle propaganda, the reputation of "Wise King" has been promoted to various places by Zhao Quanyou.
Among them, although Zhao Quanyou did not dare to enter the capital, there was a very large number of people entering and leaving the capital every day.
In addition, although the capital was within King Cheng's sphere of influence, his power was more focused on the imperial court, and he did not have that much control over the people below.
Because, although Emperor Xin's reputation in the capital was loud in other places, the title of "Wise King" still spread.
Coupled with the power of coal stoves that benefit all people.
It can be said that no matter where Emperor Xin appears in Dali, he will be welcomed by the local people.
King Cheng expanded his power among the noble officials, while Emperor Xin spread his influence among the people everywhere.
And now, it’s time to harvest some of the “fruits”.
Amid the cheers of these people, the news of King Yu's return to the capital will soon set off a wave of enthusiasm in the capital.
Even if it is just a casual chat after dinner, when the number of conversations reaches a limit, it will have a great impact, even affecting all officials in the court from bottom to top.
In this way, in a seemingly natural development, he can successfully create enough momentum for his return to Beijing this time.
After successfully building momentum, his plan can be carried out more smoothly.
And this is just basic practice.
…
The convoy moved slowly.
On both sides of the road, with the confirmation of King Yu's identity, the discussion about King Yu among the people became more intense.
It’s not just about people’s livelihood matters.
King Yu was not only a "virtuous king" who cared deeply about his people, but he was also a great general in northern Xinjiang.
In addition to improving the living conditions of the people in northern Xinjiang, he also solved the greatest danger in northern Xinjiang.
Divide and disintegrate, and send troops to fight.
Less than a year after taking office in northern Xinjiang, he completely wiped out the Turkic tribes that occasionally invaded the Dali border and brought the grassland under Dali's rule.
Then there is this year's crusade against the barbarian lands around Dali.
Most of the people did not understand politics, and they did not know why the imperial court allowed a few small countries to intrude on the border, but never went to war to eliminate permanent trouble.
In their view, this was a cowardly move by the imperial court.
Although they do not live in the frontier and are far away from the wars, they are all from the Great Li, and the invasion of the frontier is seen as their own shame.
Over the years, the common people have secretly scolded the court countless times for its inaction.
But now, a man suddenly appeared, and without saying a word, he led an army to destroy several barbarian forces, and forced other barbarians not to dare to invade the Dali border, and even sent an envoy to the capital to sue for peace.
All this made the people, who had always felt aggrieved, let out a deep breath of bad breath.
Naturally, their good impression of King Yu who did these things increased to another level.
Even among some civil groups, the call for Prince Yu to become the next Emperor of Dali has faintly surpassed that for the eldest prince to become king.
And this is not what Di Xin guided.
The desire for the throne, whether hidden or expressed, is actually within the scope of a tacit understanding.
Before the old emperor died, there were certain things he could do, but certain words he could never say.
Emperor Xin can lead the spread of the title "Wise King", but he cannot create public opinion that "he will be the next Emperor of Dali".
This is a taboo word.
If he really did this and was found out again, all his previous efforts would be in vain under the manipulation of someone with intentions.
