Chapter 392: Rumor Maker

The year is difficult to pass every year. The five-year pass of Xuanhe is even more difficult. Soaring food prices show no signs of abating.

In previous years, every household had to eat at least a good meal at the end of the year, which was also regarded as a reward for the hard work of the year, but this year, it is a very good family to be able to eat a full meal.

As for eating well, it seems like a long memory.

As a result, the city of Bianliang was full of dissatisfaction. At this time, some rumors began to spread along with the resentment of the people.

This is the story of a woman and two men.

The protagonist of the story is not a woman, but a man, and these two men are still brothers.

Legend has it that this woman was as beautiful as a flower, and the eldest of the brothers took her home.

This beauty has been abused every day and every night ever since.

One day, her younger brother, who loved her deeply, couldn't stand it anymore, so in the middle of the night, when he was drinking with his brother, he hacked his brother to death with an axe.

So the younger brother took over the elder brother's family business.

But he was afraid that this woman would tell the truth about his murder of his brother, so he killed this woman again.

This story is full of plots that the people love to hear.

Male and female relationships, love triangles, sadomasochism, brotherly vendettas. There's cruelty, there's blood, and there's fragrance.

Most of the people didn't know what the story was about, but they knew that the brothers' surname was "Zhao" and the woman's surname was "Hua".

This plane is not the same as the next. The vast majority of the people of this time and space are illiterate, and the illiterate rarely know history.

This story is the story of Taizong, the founding ancestor of the Great Song Dynasty, the sound of candles and axes, which is about the Zhao Kuangyin brothers. That woman was Madame Blossom.

On the day of Zhao Kuangyin's death, he asked Zhao Kuangyi to drink at night. (Zhao Guangyi, also known as Tingyi, was the second emperor of the Song Dynasty.) His real name was Zhao Kuangyi, and he later changed his name to Zhao Guangyi to avoid his brother Song Taizu's name, and changed his name to Zhao Jiong after he ascended the throne. )

This incident happened at midnight in October in the ninth year of Song Kaibao (976 AD), Taizu Zhao Kuangyin was seriously ill, and Zhao Guangyi, the king of Zhaojin, was discerning, and he was not heard of - he drove everyone away. During the banquet, someone saw the candle shadow in the palace shaking, as if Zhao Guangyi left his seat and retreated, and after a while, he heard the sound of an axe poking at the ground.

That night, Taizu died, and Zhao Kuangyin died.

Then Zhao Kuangyi won the throne.

This incident is indeed a mystery in the history of the Song Dynasty, but this mystery case was only widely circulated in later generations. Because the illiteracy of later generations is gone, compulsory education is compulsory, and then there are a large number of people who love history who care about this.

In the time and space of the Great Song Dynasty, how can there be money to support so many people who only study and don't work?

Few people are literate, and even fewer are those who know this history.

In fact, even the common people of Bianliang don't know what happened to the emperor's family, anyway, the Zhao family is the one who sits in the world from generation to generation.

Bianliang's life has always been very good, and in this time and space, it is already a very good existence.

The people of Bianliang are certainly qualified to say so. If nothing else, where are there nursing homes in the world? Neither, but Bianliang does.

The emperor set up Anjifang to support the poor and sick; Staying in a nursing home to be widowed and lonely. The temple monks are in charge of the management, while the nursing home is managed by full-time officials.

In history, the nursing home initially encountered extremely cold weather just "to give paper clothes and salary", and later "to give charcoal for the fire room in winter, for the pergola in summer, and to decorate the utensils with gold lacquer ......"

These are all great good deeds. The people of Bianliang live a prosperous life, and the imperial court's measures to reassure the people are powerful, so the people of Bianliang are very satisfied with the emperor of the Zhao family.

But now I'm not satisfied. Because the price of food has risen, people are already starving to death.

Whoever does not have enough to eat all day long, he will never say that the ruler is a good person.

Anyway, I'm not wrong, it's the imperial court that is wrong!

The people of the Great Song Dynasty are also a way, the fault is not themselves, it is others who are wrong.

And they were right to complain this time, because this mistake was indeed caused by Zhao Ji.

Although he got back a large amount of land through Xicheng, and then sold it to various powerful families for money, the money to buy the city was still far behind, so he printed a large number of Jiaozi to rob the people's wealth.

When there is too much money, it naturally causes inflation, which eventually leads to skyrocketing food prices. Naturally, the people complained.

Therefore, this rumor spread more and more widely under the burden of resentment, and there are smart people who have guessed from a few words that this is the emperor's ancestor.

The folk rumors suddenly made Zhao Ji nervous.

This is the truth. It was his own ancestor who killed his own eldest brother.

Of course, Zhao Ji will never admit it, but he has to admit in his heart that this may be the case.

If according to what the official said, it was Zhao Kuangyin who passed the throne to Zhao Kuangyi, that is, his ancestor, then why did Zhao Kuangyi almost kill Zhao Kuangyin's descendants.

Zhao Kuangyin's son, Dezhao killed himself, and Defang died violently. This was all a few years after Zhao Kuangyin's death.

Zhao Kuangyin was killed by Zhao Kuangyi, and Zhao Ji believed this. But because he believed it, he was afraid of the rumor—because it was true, it was true.

Now the situation in the Great Song Dynasty is not as good as before.

Although the Liao State was strong before, hundreds of thousands of coins were sent away every year, just like sending it to Huazi, it didn't take much effort at all.

Now that there is no Liao State, it has been replaced by Jin State, and this money has increased more than tenfold.

This is not to send Hanako, this is to bow down to the uncle.

If there is only Jin Guo, Zhao Ji can still stabilize his position, but there is still Zhengyi, and there is also the Heavenly Master Army.

Now Han Shizhong and Wu Song can only be stationed in Jiangning, guarding the last section of the Yangtze River to ensure that Jiangnan is not lost, no matter how much, they can't do it.

The Folded Army cannot be relied on. Han Shizhong said that the Zhejia army had all run away. This made Zhao Ji very annoyed, but annoyance was annoyance, and he had no way at all.

It is normal for soldiers to mutini and flee. He must not use this as a reason to hold the family accountable. According to normal terms, the Zhe family ran so many troops, they should be more painful than Zhao Ji.

Of course, Zhao Ji also guessed that these people were not running away, but they just didn't want to fight anymore and went to the northwest to return to their hometown.

But no matter what, without the Western Army on the front line, it really can't beat the Heavenly Division Army.

Internal and external troubles almost crushed Zhao Ji, and now with such a rumor, Zhao Ji is about to collapse.

Zhao Kuangyin's descendants are not dead, and now there are descendants in Bianliang. If someone conspires to make trouble, taking advantage of the current situation, he will also give himself a candlelight axe, it is really very likely!

His throne seems to be less secure. Moreover, the ugly thing of the ancestor of the old Zhao family leaked in front of the eyes of the whole world, and his throne seemed to be not so glorious.

The Zhao family was upset by this rumor.

The crown prince Zhao Huan became particularly uneasy. Because Zhao Ji has not been in good health recently, he seems to be crushed by the constant pressure. In this way, it seems that he is expected to become emperor in advance.

But at this juncture, such rumors spread in Bianliang, which dealt a fatal blow to the reputation of the old Zhao family.

Zhao Huan didn't want to be splashed with dirty water after becoming the emperor, so he immediately ordered the power he could use to extinguish the rumors.

Li Gang was privately instructed by the prince.

Last time, because of his son's matter, he needed to contact Kaifeng Mansion Yin, and he took the path of Prince Zhan, which can be regarded as having a relationship with the prince.

Zhao Huan is concerned about chaos, this matter is related to himself, so he trusted all the people who could be trusted.

Li Gang didn't know where this rumor came from in the first place, but he knew that it was likely to be true. Because "Xiangshan Yelu" recorded this incident, he read this book.

Now that the imperial court is in such a crisis, as Li Gang, who is bent on rectifying the situation, his hair is almost smoking.

That was more than 100 years ago, and even if it was true, what's the use of turning it out now?

Now there are strong enemies outside, rebellious ministers and thieves inside, and the price of grain is so high that it only forces the people to sell their sons and daughters, which is simply a sign of the destruction of the country!

It's all this time, and there are still people with ulterior motives to spread rumors!

This must be a lack of virtue that only careerists can do!

Li Gang didn't even need to investigate, his only suspicion was the Zhe family.

Zhejiajun sold his teammates again in Jiangning. The 3,000 folded family army ran 2,000 and eight, and there were only about 200 people left to support the scene. This is really a clear rebellion!

Li Gang dared to pack the ticket, if it weren't for this rumor created and spread by the Zhejia, he would dare to eat the entire "Journey to the West"!

It's a pity that no one made this bet with him, otherwise Li Gang would really have to eat a copy of "Journey to the West".

This rumor, or fact, has nothing to do with the Zhi family at all, it was planned by Qin Mu.

This was Qin Mu's first bullet. There are so many black histories in the Great Song Dynasty, and Qin Mu's ammunition is still sufficient. Don't be in a hurry now, let the people slowly digest and digest this story, he still has big things to do.

"New World People's Radio, New World People's Radio, start broadcasting now." Qin Mu held the microphone and started today's broadcast.

Qin Mu set up the first broadcasting system in this time and space in Weishan Lake.

The system is easy to build, and it is a complete set of professional equipment pulled back from later generations, but the receiving end, or the client, is the problem.

He couldn't buy all the radios from later generations.

Fortunately, now Weishan Lake produces glass, and there is also a wire drawing machine, and at the same time, Gongsun Sheng has built a production, supply and marketing chain of tung oil, and Weishan Lake is not short of enameled wire, so that the production of radios has become possible.

After Qin Mu purchased a vacuum extractor from later generations, the transistor could be mass-produced.

With transistors, there are radios.

The birth of the radio is a truly epoch-making event in the lives of ordinary people in this time and space!

This thing is much more than a glass, an enamel basin. There are no glasses, everyone is not short of water to drink, there is no enamel basin, and everyone can wash their faces.

But without the radio, you wouldn't be able to hear those wonderful stories.

Radios are only sold in stores in Weishan Lake and are not circulated as commodities.

The people in the base area, every family is desperately saving money, they don't eat or drink, and they have to buy a radio.

This is true entertainment on this plane! Full of warmth and lust, people in any time and space need entertainment. And there is no other form of entertainment that makes people feel more happy and satisfied than the radio.

The radio of this time and space is like the status of smartphones in later generations.

Smartphones can keep users happy, and so is radios.

Is "Journey to the West" good? Okay, but most people can't afford to buy books, and even if they do, they can't read.

In the past, if you wanted to listen to Journey to the West, you had to go to Wazili. Weishan Lake is not Bianliang after all, and the level of storytellers here is far worse than that of Bianliang storytellers.

And to go to the tile to listen to the book, it takes time and money, so what about now.

With the radio, as long as you stay home, at half past seven in the evening, the announcer starts on time.

"Sun Dasheng showed a magical power, twisted the trick, recited a spell, transformed into a bee, really light!"

Qin Mu talked about "Journey to the West" in a frustrated voice, only to hear the female warriors around him with red cheeks and spring hearts. This is the first batch of announcers selected by Fang Haoyin, and Wang Ying is also among them.

At this moment, they seemed to have crossed into the world of "Journey to the West", one by one incarnated as the kings of the daughter country, looking at the head of the regiment, they seemed to look at Tang Seng, and they all wanted to eat him in one bite.

At half past seven in the evening, the entire Weishan Lake seems to have lost its vitality. Everyone stayed at home and listened carefully to Young Master Qin's talk about "Journey to the West".

Families without radios come to homes with radios spontaneously. Often a radio can gather more than 100 people, and one listen to it all night.

After Young Master Qin finished talking about Journey to the West, there were female announcers singing and telling stories.

Some of them had attended the last celebration. At that convention, they heard for the first time songs from the afterlife.

It's just that Weishanhu didn't have recording equipment at that time, so they never heard every song again.

Now that you have a radio, you don't have to worry about not being able to listen to such beautiful songs.

The radio station has professional recording equipment, and Qin Mu recorded all kinds of songs, and now they are played in turns, which only makes the Weishan Lake base feel as if it has come to a thousand years later.

The good times when the radio dominated the world have begun!
