Chapter 318 The King's Speech
The king of Shang took Zigan and Huang Xue to the deer platform, and saw at a glance that an iron cylindrical object with a length of six meters was placed in the middle of the deer platform at this time, one end was three meters thick, and the other end was only the size of a head.
If there are modern people here, they will naturally recognize it at a glance, and this is clearly a huge tin horn.
Huang Xue on the side saw that the king of Shang looked at her hesitantly, smiled faintly, and gave an order, and twenty wrestlers next to him stepped forward, steadily lifted the horn, and came to the side of Lutai facing the noon gate.
The residents of Chaoge outside the noon gate were all shocked when they saw the half-tin horn exposed on the towering deer platform, but no one dared to make a sound because of the fierce eyes of the surrounding guards.
Then, they saw a figure appear next to Lutai, vaguely wearing the king's costume, and the shock in their hearts was even more indescribable. Although they are all Chao Ge people, how many of them can see the king of Shang with their own eyes, at this time, everyone has long forgotten to be afraid, and they are all looking at this great merchant with some excitement.
According to Huang Xue's words, the king of Shang waved his hand to the square below, and then walked to the loudspeaker and said, "I ......."
A voice came from the loudspeaker, which startled everyone, but it was not loud after all, and many people did not hear what he said.
Huang Xue looked at the reaction of the people, instantly understood, and stepped forward to the king of Shang in a low voice: "King, you need to be as loud as possible. ”
The king of Shang nodded, mobilized his internal strength, and said in a loud voice: "I am the son of heaven of the Great Shang. ”
When this sound came out, the people in the square could no longer care about the surrounding guards, and they all immediately exclaimed.
, what a king, not only saw the king with his own eyes, but also heard the king's voice with his own ears, which is also a great honor.
The guards on the side were also in shock at this time, and they didn't care about managing the order at all, but fortunately, King Wucheng got the order and came here to maintain the scene in person. He hurriedly sent a few lieutenants to manage it, and it took half a day to restore silence in the field.
When the Shang King saw the situation in the field, he was also a little excited at this time, and turned around and asked Huang Xuedao, "What should I say next?"
Huang Xue smiled and took out the prepared speech from his arms, handed it to King Shang, and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look." ”
The king of Shang took it curiously, roughly browsed it, and praised it loudly: "Yes, you wrote it?"
Of course it's good, the essence of the speeches of the leaders on TV and in the unit back then has been fully integrated, can it be worse?
However, she naturally had to be humble, so she said, "The Prime Minister has also polished it." ”
When the king of Shang heard this, he looked at Zigan, and the sedan chair was carried by people, of course Zigan would not understand, and he hurriedly said: "It is generally written by Niangniang, and Weichen has just revised a few words." ”
King Shang nodded, looked at the speech again, and frowned, "It seems that the words are a little indecent. ”
Huang Xue pointed to the crowd in front of the noon gate and said with a wry smile: "King, if it is too elegant, I'm afraid they won't understand." ”
When the king of Shang heard this, he immediately understood, most of the people at this time were not of high cultural quality, and they could often be misunderstood if they spoke well.
Knowing that Huang Xue had even thought of this point, he immediately relieved himself and read the manuscript according to the written.
The following is a transcript of Shang Wang's speech (simplified):
Dear people of the Great Merchants, this is the first time I have spoken to you personally, and I would like to take this opportunity to say a few words from my heart to you.
Since I succeeded to the throne, you have worked hard to make the national strength of the Great Merchants achieve rapid development over the years, all of which you have contributed to, and I have always remembered it.
In the next few years, the imperial court will have a series of measures to build a good court song, which will be told to you in detail by your prime minister, Zigan. This is a new era, and I and you are the heroes of the new era.
I believe that with the efforts of the imperial court and you, the great merchants will become stronger and stronger, and your life will get better and better.
In addition, now Jiang Wenhuan, the puppet Eastern Bohou of Donglu, Eshun, the pseudo Nanbohou Eshun, and the Northern Bohou Chonghou Hu, they rebelled against the imperial court and did not want me to live a good life, nor did they want you to live a good life.
Finally, I sincerely hope that every family of my people will have enough to eat, a good place to live, and money in their bags to spend.
That's all for today, and now I would like to ask the Prime Minister to say a few words.
After saying this, the king of Shang breathed a sigh of relief and retreated from the front of the loudspeaker.
The residents in the square below, along with the surrounding forbidden troops, couldn't help but cheer again at this time.
The people of this era are actually the most simple, and they believe that the Son of Heaven is Chrysostom.
The king said that everyone's life will get better and better, and then life will get better and better, and the king said that Jiang Wenhuan, Eshun, and Chonghouhu are chaotic ministers and thieves, so they will be punished by everyone. At this time, some residents who had relatives and friends in Donglu, Nandu, and Chongcheng were already thinking about spreading the news as soon as possible.
This is the first public speech of the Son of Heaven in the history of China, and the effect is naturally undoubted, and the words of the Shang King were quickly spread to the whole world through the mouths of these tens of thousands of people.
Although after that, the Great Shang slowly began to appear a variety of speeches, but it is recognized that this time the Shang King's speech was the highest level. Although, in fact, Huang Xue's speech is written at the level of the primary school principal's recess speech. And those who have listened to this speech with their own ears will naturally regard this as bragging capital.
After that, Zigan's speech was less inflammatory, but the content was more practical. He mainly talked about some government decrees, including the plan for the renovation of the city in the next five years.
The officials of this era, the phenomenon of bullying and concealing the subordinates is still very serious, and the orders of Zigan can only be implemented on the ground by about sixty percent, and now he said it in person in front of tens of thousands of people in the court, and it will be much more difficult for the officials below to implement it if they want to discount it.
Overall, Zigan's speech then aroused heated discussions among the residents of the city, and finally achieved its goal.
The only fly in the ointment is that he has not practiced internal skills, and he speaks by shouting at the top of his voice, and many people still don't hear it clearly, but he let Zigan have a hoarse throat for several days.
Afterwards, the good deeds said that the king of Shang was worthy of being the son of heaven, and listening to the voice was a god descending to earth, but the prime minister was much worse, and his voice was a bit like a palace attendant. Zigan also heard about this, but fortunately, he was open-minded by nature, so he just shook his head and smiled bitterly.
