Chapter 519: Rumors
The capital has always been far away from the war, and in the past 20 years, even if the border has never been truly stable, the people of the capital have rarely felt the horror of the war.
However, even so, the people of the capital have always had confusion in their hearts over the years.
It wasn't until Xiyi took the initiative to negotiate peace, and the real peace between Jing Chao and Xiyi was settled, and the people finally let go of the heart that had been hanging.
Under such circumstances, I heard that Zhenguo Gong asserted that the Northern Barbarians would start a war again, and many people naturally raised their hearts again.
But there are other parts of the people who don't believe it.
After all, the Beiban has been quiet for so many years, even when the Jing Dynasty and Xiyi fought the hardest, they did not do the fisherman's profit, and it is indeed difficult to make people believe that the Beiban will start a war, especially when there are no obvious signs.
Even, I don't know when it began, there was a saying in the capital that the Tao was that the Duke of Zhenguo had won many battles, and people became arrogant, and such a conclusion was not made for the sake of the Jing Dynasty, but just to show his importance to the saint.
I don't know who first spread such a statement, but it quickly spread all over the capital, and even intensified.
Although I don't know if the people suspect Jiang Heng's intentions because of such rumors, when Brother Luo occasionally goes out, it is not uncommon to see others looking at him with that kind of scrutiny, as if they want to see the expression on his face to measure the truth of the rumors.
In this regard, Brother Luo was also extremely angry in his heart.
If it weren't for the fact that Brother Luo had grown a lot in the past six months, and he would have been able to control his temper, he was afraid that he would have waved his fist at those people at that time.
“…… Those people look at it and make people feel underwhelmed! ”
Although he didn't really beat people, Brother Luo still said so.
When Wei Fu heard this, he gently touched Brother Luo'er's head, and said with a smile: "Our Brother Luo has grown up, and he can restrain himself, and my mother is proud of you." ”
When she raised her hand to touch the top of Brother Luo'er's head, Wei Fu found that Brother Luo had grown taller again, and she could easily do such a movement in the past, but now she needed to raise her head and tiptoe slightly.
This was the first time that Weve had noticed in such an intuitive way that her child had grown up.
For a while, Wei Fu's heart was both relieved and emotional, and his mood was extremely complicated.
Brother Luo didn't know how Wei Fu's heart was mixed, he only felt that his face was a little hot, and his heart was also warm, which could make his mother feel proud, and he was also very happy.
Seeing the interaction between the mother and son, Sister Tian hurriedly squeezed Brother Luo aside, hugged Wei Fu's arm, and raised her eyebrows at Brother Luo a little provocatively.
If he had been provoked by Sister Sweet like this in the past, Brother Luo might have really stared at her, but now Brother Liu'er is a brother who makes his mother feel proud, but it is just this provocation from his sister, he will not go to his heart, and even smiled at Sister Sweet in a good mood.
Sister Tian didn't see Brother Liu'er jumping, she only felt a little bored, so she stopped looking at him, but turned to Wei Fu.
"Mother, those people outside really live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, they should be slapped in the face!" Sister Tian said.
Sister Tian didn't go out during this time, so naturally she was not looked at by outsiders in a strange way, but she usually corresponded with the little sisters she was good friends with, and she also heard the little sisters faintly mention this matter in the letter, so she was naturally extremely annoyed by this.
Wei Fu patted Sister Tian'er's hand, but did not speak.
Now the rumors outside are indeed spreading, and even to a certain extent, they have affected Jiang Heng's prestige in the hearts of the people.
Others don't know where this rumor came from, but Wei Fu and Jiang Heng couldn't be clearer, if it weren't for the acquiescence of Emperor Jingwen, how could this rumor spread so quickly throughout the capital once it spread?
Jiang Heng can actually suppress such rumors in the first place.
However, he did not do so.
First, this rumor was originally spread with the acquiescence of Emperor Jingwen, if Jiang Heng guessed correctly, Emperor Jingwen just wanted to use this way to wear down his prestige in the hearts of the people little by little, if he suppressed the rumors as soon as possible, it would have no other effect except to make Emperor Jingwen's heart feel a hidden anger.
Second......
The more the rumors spread now, when things really come true as Jiang Heng said, such a reversal will be more impressive, so as to not only clear up the negative impact of the rumors, but also make people more aware of how Jiang Heng is like a god and cares about his family and country.
Since he couldn't convince Emperor Jingwen, Jiang Heng could only take advantage of the situation.
After a long while, Wei Fu came back to her senses under the puzzled eyes of several children, she smiled, and said: "It's just some people who like to chew the root of the tongue, we don't need to worry about them, what kind of person your father is, but anyone with a discerning eye can see it clearly." ”
Of course, that's what you say, but how many real discerning people can there be?
Compared with the ordinary people who are in the clouds, the civil and military officials in the court can undoubtedly understand the root of this matter better.
It is precisely because of the guess that the rumors about Jiang Heng in the capital are likely to come out with the connivance of Emperor Jingwen, so when the hundred officials look at Jiang Heng again recently, their eyes are inevitably a little subtle.
In the past, everyone was humane, Emperor Jingwen and Jiang Heng, the prince of Zhenguo, the pair of monarchs and ministers have been close for many years, Jiang Heng is loyal to the country and the king, and Emperor Jingwen completely trusts Jiang Heng.
However, now it seems that the Holy Lord is not unafraid of Zhenguo Gong, but he has always hidden such jealousy well before.
Now that Jing Chao and Xiyi have negotiated peace, at least in the short term, there will be no more wars, and Shengshang's subordinates seem to have cultivated generals who can replace Zhenguo Gong, so they will no longer hide the fear in their hearts.
Thinking about it some time ago, the wife and children of a small seven-rank official dared to hit the idea of the daughter of the prince of Zhenguo, and many officials felt that they seemed to have guessed something.
However, even if they guessed, no one said it, but they all remained silent very tacitly.
After all, Emperor Jing Wen's attitude was there, how could a hundred officials risk angering Emperor Jing Wen and stand on Jiang Heng's side?
Therefore, it seems that in just one night, a pair of monarchs and ministers who were originally close became estranged.
