Chapter II. 228
Obviously, originally He Wendao and Shamanism enjoyed a very high reputation among the people. Now, under the day and night praise of these storytellers, it has reached an unprecedented height.
However, this hottest topic in Fengjing City at the moment did not arouse Yan Tian's idea after it was introduced to the palace.
First, Yan Yan himself has never believed in the 'fallacies and heresies' of shamanism, and he has always adhered to a cold attitude of 'respecting and staying away' towards religious people like 'He Wendao'; second, this shamanism has a vast number of believers in the Youbei Third Road, the Mobei grassland, and even in all the remote areas that are regarded as 'barbarian tribes' by the 'mainstream society of Huayu Continent'. Such a shamanism with deep roots and a long history is not an existence that Yan Day, the 'new king' who has not yet succeeded to the throne, can shake......
At least, he can't do it now.
Since shamanism itself enjoys a high reputation among the people, and He Wendao is a 'great shaman' who has just taken office, it is normal for people to make up a few timely 'stories' to elevate their identity.
Since the crown prince Yan Tian laughed at it, the imperial horse supervisor under Liu Zhi was naturally happy; As a result, the truth of this battle of Donghaiguan was covered with a layer of mystery and revealed in front of the eyes of the people of Youbei. Compared to how Shen Gui racked his brains and worked hard to create such a once-in-a-lifetime excellent fighter with the power of mortals; The common people are still more willing to hear these unattainable myths and stories such as 'heavenly punishment', 'gods', and 'Xuanhuo'.
The reason why myths and stories are fascinating is that people are more willing to believe that since they are all mortal in the flesh, they also eat whole grains; What I can't do, no one else can do.
Of course, at the same time, with the reopening of the gates of Fengjing City, the various markets in the city also flourished again. And the busiest of these people are the tooth people under Qi Hui's men. Previously, because of the outbreak of the War between the Two Norths, countless Fengjing people who had little confidence in Youbei Third Road sold all the houses and land in their hands at a low price to withdraw cash; And these wealthy people with many industries thought that they could escape death by relying on their keen 'sense of crisis', and at the same time, they also avoided huge property losses; Unexpectedly, this Youbei Third Road was really a big upset: not only did it destroy the entire Pingbei Army, but also earned an extra 100,000 additional reinforcements issued by Beiyan for the second time. At this time, the war was extinguished, and these prescient rich people could only return to Fengjing with their families. However, this time, I have to pay several times the price to buy back the house that originally belonged to me.
Of course, the difference between one in and one out in a short period of time made Qi Hui and his subordinates wake up with a smile in their dreams.
Through the mouths of these tooth people who have traveled to thousands of homes and thousands of households, the women in the alleys of Fengjing's houses have also heard some fresh conversations 'occasionally'.
is different from those rich young masters and children of official families, these aunts and aunts like to talk about some trivial things in the family: whose 'woman steals man', whose young lady 'does not do her duty', which young couple does not have children, which in-laws are abused by their daughter-in-law; These things constitute the unique 'rumors of the rivers and lakes' of the women's Taoist family, and they are unique compared to the people who listened to the truth and the imperial horse supervisor.
With the ominous details of these tooth people, these aunts and aunts finally put together a complete story. And the topic that aroused their heated discussion was the first-class filial son who had never appeared in the history of Youbei Third Road in the past hundred years.
This filial son is very different from the 'twenty-four filial pieties' in ancient legends. He came from a well-known family and had a huge fortune. As the second son of a wealthy family, he naturally eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and commits evil on weekdays; Occasionally, some troubles will occur, but fortunately, the family is really wealthy, and there is a loving and hardworking mother who is willing to help this unproductive son and dispose of all the messes.
It's a pity that there are unforeseen circumstances, one day, because this unscrupulous eldest brother made a mistake, even this rich family has suffered great changes, and there is a danger of family defeat at any time; And the father, who was the head of the family, was also bedridden under this blow, so he had no time to deal with family affairs; At this critical juncture, this unscrupulous son who 'chased ducks to the shelves' finally resolved this huge crisis with the painstaking teachings and help of his loving mother. After experiencing a great crisis, he also seemed to be reborn, and he abandoned all his bad habits overnight, planning to repay his mother's kindness in the future......
The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the child wants to raise but does not wait. Although this unscrupulous son is sincere and sincere, but within a few days of the good days, a fire broke out in the mother's room. Poor and lamentable, although this 'unscrupulous son' who rushed to the fire when he heard the news rushed into the fire as if he had gone mad, and tried to save his mother regardless of his own safety, but he could not save his mother's life except for the fire sores and fire bubbles that fell on his body; And the rich son who had just lost his mother and was now seriously injured, when the affected area was still bleeding pus, his father also passed away.
The most hateful thing is his eldest brother who has lost his conscience. Now that his parents' bones are still cold, he actually started the idea of seizing the family property. He hired some ruffians to stab to death the second brother, who had turned the tide and was seriously injured and bedridden at this time, and sat in the position of head of the family as he wished.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and the family business of this rich country fell into his hands, and within a few years, it was all wiped out by him......
The story of this 'No. 1 filial son in Youbei', the plot is flesh and blood, the story is full of ups and downs, and the ending that is close to real life is both tragic and tear-jerking, and brings people a deep sense of powerlessness. Such a 'wealthy tragedy' hit the weakness of these middle-aged and elderly women at once, and also made them get together all day long.
Moreover, this story is passed down by word of mouth, and everyone has more or less undergone secondary 'processing', which has derived countless flesh-and-blood detailed emotions. The good people become better, and the bad people become worse.
As a result, this story has spread far and wide and has become the hottest topic in Fengjing City; In this way, after the storytellers finished talking about the 'Demon Fighting Method' style of 'Burning the East Customs', they personally improved and sorted out this popular story; coupled with their unique skills and charm, they finally made the story of this filial son completely popular in Fengjing!
Yan Tian himself doesn't like to listen to books, and the last time the Imperial Horse Supervisor reported back the 'Fire East Customs' made him laugh and bring it back; now the 'Loyal and Filial Piety Poor Lover' presented back to the Imperial Horse Supervisor, Fu Yi, the acting supervisor of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, didn't even look at the content, so he pressed it down directly, and did not report to the prince again.
When it comes to storytelling, there is no one who can compare to him as a Wujiang guest in the entire Youbei Third Road. With decades of profound skills and the audience popularity accumulated over the years, Wujiangke told this somewhat trivial emotional story that was really touching and tear-jerking; The broad old men in the hall talked about red circles under their eyes and sour noses, and they kept wiping the corners of their eyes.
This story, for these rich and noble people, obviously has a different kind of touch—who is not a big family? And who is not full of children and grandchildren? With the laughter and scolding of Wujiang Ke, and the impassioned grief and indignation, the tea guests in the hall of Duja wiped their tears, threw silver, and shouted loudly!
Such a small story that swept Fengjing City will naturally fall into the ears of the queen's Li Lian. The eunuch in charge of Dongkun Palace, according to the secret report sent to the palace by the Qingquan Tea Society, did his best to repeat it vividly for the Empress Dowager Li Lian. This story also touched the queen mother who was attached to Yan Tian, and made her, the mother of the Northern Realm, also teased her cheeks.
However, after listening to it several times, the queen was finally able to calmly explore the main idea of the story. After pondering for a while, Li Lian, who came to his senses, immediately raised his hand and knocked over the teapot beside him:
"Presumptuous! Does this Wujiang guest not want to live anymore? How dare you make up the things of the heavenly family! Fengjing Mansion Yin Wei Anheng's old thing's illness, has he recovered? Let him go and lock up the Wujiang guest to the mourning family! …… Slow, or don't lock it...... Although he is a ninth-rate, he also has the ...... of the first emperor's royal mouth."
The chief eunuch nodded, and then went on an errand; Unexpectedly, in less than half an hour, he returned to the Dongkun Palace again, with a look of embarrassment on his face:
"Back to the queen's mother, this Lord Wei said...... He said that as early as when Wujiangke began to tell stories, he had already sent people to investigate and covertly visit. According to the investigation results, this story is not a new bibliography arranged by him Wujiangke, but a rumor in the market that was first arranged privately by the mothers-in-law and old mothers on the streets of Fengjingcheng. Nowadays, this story has also become the hottest topic on the streets of Fengjingcheng; Moreover, the storyteller who is talking about this book is not just a guest in Wujiang...... This conviction locks people, and there must be a reason; Even if there is no reason, he must know who to take ......"
When Queen Li Lian heard the eunuch's return, she just wanted to be furious, but then she thought about it, and she also felt that Wei Anheng's reply was actually not unreasonable.
The story was not made up by him Wujiang Ke, and this book was not the first to be said, not to mention that the three "golden signboards" of 'Wujiang Ke' were sealed by the first emperor Yukou Qin; now he has been imprisoned for no reason, and there is really no reason for it. Now the situation is very urgent, it is better not to let these small things and extraneous branches.
In the end, the empress Li Lian, who was in a dilemma, still said to the chief eunuch who was waiting for the errand:
"What Master Wei said is not unreasonable...... That's it, just let that Wujiangke continue to talk about his book. However, this bibliography of 'loyalty, filial piety, and love', don't let them talk about it in the future! …… Bo Qinglang, hehe, Qinghong, Qinghong, with your reputation, you can indeed afford the three words Bo Qinglang; But your loyalty and filial piety, the mourning family hasn't seen it yet......"
As the saying goes, 'blocking is better than sparse', the river work is like this, and public opinion is like this.
Originally, this kind of market rumor was a trick a day. Even if someone fuels the fire this time, the common people are just trying to be fresh for a while; It is better to simply let it go, as long as there is something 'peachy news' in any house, this article will be turned over immediately; all because those stories that praise 'loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness' can never be compared to the small road lace of those 'male thieves and female prostitutes', and can better cater to the interests of the people at the bottom.
It's a pity that now the queen has personally issued this gag order, which can be regarded as pushing the already extremely prosperous little story to a new level.
