787: The herd mentality of the people

There is a distinction between true and false.

As for how much is true and how much is false, only they know it in their own hearts.

Immediately, some people outside said that this was retribution.

Xiao Xiaomu, the prime minister of the Great Liaobei Courtyard, died, and the cause of death was that he was beheaded for rebellion, but Yelu Zongzhen underestimated his uncle, and even more so his imprisoned second brother, Yelu Chongyuan.

After being the second child for many years, the unwilling Yelu Chongyuan also secretly hooked up with many people.

Most of these people were dissatisfied with Yelu Longxu's rule at the beginning, so they took this opportunity to spread rumors frantically, trying to move to the crown prince and help Yelu Chongyuan level.

In this way, everyone can get benefits, and there is a daughter-in-law and children to celebrate the New Year.

So the outside world began to spread that Yelu Zong's true virtue was not worthy of the throne, and he felt that he was inferior to his younger brother Yelu Chongyuan, and he was worried that his throne was unstable, so he found an excuse to imprison his younger brother.

And the prime minister, Xiao Xiaomu, was just because he could recognize the lord and felt that Yeluzong lacked true ability, so he was beheaded with an excuse, not to mention that it was your own uncle.

Originally, people didn't believe it.

But this year, Xiao Bodhisattva has listened to politics in the court, and most of the rights have been held by her.

This also reflects from the side that Yelu Zong is really not a capable master, otherwise why would he be suppressed by a woman?

It's not ......

He was sick with gas.

Yelu Zongzhen is really angry this time, originally three points of real illness and seven points of pretending to be sick, but now it is estimated that it has become ten points of pretending to be sick......

The little emperor in a hurry gave an order, and the spies spied on the news everywhere, and killed a group of people to set an example.

But the more he kills, the more outrageous the rumors from the outside world become.

Little Jerod!

You don't understand psychology, do you?

Come, brother will teach you.

Qin Wei couldn't help but be happy when he thought of this.

"What are you happy about?"

Zhao Zhen put down the music, frowned and looked at this self-satisfied courtier, feeling very strange.

Qin Wei woke up from the state outside the spirit and said, "The minister is thinking about the Liao people's side. ”

The New Year is New Year's Day, the first great court meeting after Zhao Zhen took power......

The Liao people have been made by the Great Song Dynasty several times this year, and they have suffered a lot of losses, will they make a fuss at the Great Dynasty Meeting?

This question flashed through Zhao Zhen's mind, and then let go, "What are you doing?" ”

Qin Wei arched his hand and said, "Minister, please keep the Divine Warrior Army."

"Brave ......"

Zhao Zhen's face turned cold, and said: "The Divine Warrior Army is useless, many courtiers say that it should be canceled, I think so, what do you have to say?" If it affects the morale of the military, then don't talk about it. ”

"Your Majesty, this ...... It really affects morale. ”

Zhao Zhen didn't let him say, Qin Wei was going to do it, while Xu Mao looked at His Majesty's black face, and thought that he would hurry up and find the Imperial Doctor to massage His Majesty later.

This headache seems to be inherited from the ancestors of the old Zhao family, starting from Zhenzong, and the next three generations of emperors have been tormented by this pain.

"Those soldiers...... More than 7,000 people, once they disperse, Your Majesty, what do they do? ”

Qin Wei said sincerely: "Without preparation, after they return, they can only be helpless. Some people will find a job to support their families, but others will not be used to the outside world because they have been in the army for a long time, and they will spend their last savings and become beggars with their families...... Your Majesty, is this what you want? ”

"Hmm!"

Zhao Zhen snorted coldly, "Do you want to say that I am brutal?" ”

He is no longer the Zhao Zhen he was at the beginning, under the appearance of seemingly kind and benevolent, the majesty of the emperor has already been formed, so his majesty is unquestionable.

Qin Wei frowned and said, "Your Majesty...... It is disbanded after the rebellion, and no one can say a mistake in this matter, but the soldiers in the army will be cold when they see what happened to the Divine Brave Army? ”

At this time, the soldiers did not have such a high consciousness, so they were easily bewitched or agitated.

Zhao Zhen said coldly: "You can speak, but at that time, Du Yuhou of the Divine Warrior Army was able to incite 7,000 people to rebel with just a hundred henchmen, is it possible to use such a soldier?" The Great Song Dynasty forbidden army is hundreds of thousands, what is the use of the Divine Brave Army? ”

Once disloyal, a hundred times not used, this is the emperor's way of thinking.

Xu Mao felt that Qin Wei was a little stubborn and should not argue with His Majesty, but he understood Qin Wei's eagerness.

It was he who suppressed the Divine Warriors at the beginning, and those people listened to his words and gave up resistance, and now His Majesty wants to settle accounts after the autumn, and he is the one who is hit the hardest.

If this is the case, this will definitely be a fatal blow to Qin Wei's prestige in the army.

The human heart can be described as ah!

In the future, if he leads the army again, will those soldiers still be convinced, and how can a general who is not convinced by the soldiers still win the battle?

Zhao Zhen thought of this, so he suppressed the matter and did not express his position on the spot, but judging from the conversation just now, Zhao Zhen was inclined to disband the Divine Warrior Army.

And Qin Wei came to the rescue.

After this incident, the first one to come was Qin Wei, and the second one was ......

Those loyal ministers who usually shouted for reform did not move, and the ministers did not move.

Sure enough, it's still Qin Wei!

Xu Mao admired it in his heart, but he was not optimistic about his rebuttal.

Loyalty is an unquantifiable thing, how can you Qin Wei prove the loyalty of the Divine Warriors?

This is Bianliang, and the Divine Warrior Army is an army that guards Bianliang and guards the imperial city. But now this army has made His Majesty and the important ministers feel uneasy, what is this!

"Your Majesty, what those soldiers have experienced, if you change to the army on the side, it will not be ...... bad."

"What did you say?"

Zhao Zhen was furious, got up and said, "Are you despising my army? Are you flouting the Praetorian Army? ”

Qin Wei directly opened a gap when he said this, telling him, big man, the forbidden army is not safe!

This thing is dying!

Xu Mao was thinking about whether to take the risk of reminding him, but seeing Zhao Zhen's calm expression, all his plans were swallowed.

"Your Majesty, the first emperor was merciful, and the soldiers were grief-stricken when he died......"

There is nothing to refute this, although Zhao Heng was confused and mediocre in his later years, he was not bad to the people.

This is also so that now that Zhao Zhen has ascended the throne, he is still as benevolent and righteous as possible to the people below, and the two generations of emperors can be regarded as the masters of benevolence and righteousness.

Qin Wei continued: "At this time, Qin Zhanliang was bewitched by his henchmen, and while the soldiers were grieving, they thought about being the first emperor...... What the hell. This is called herd mentality...... Everyone is pretty much the same. ”

"Herd mentality?"

Zhao Zhen said coldly: "What is this?" Is it also your miscellaneous knowledge? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty is wise."

Qin Wei's sycophant obviously didn't get it right, Zhao Zhen got up and walked out, probably because he didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore.

Qin Wei followed, and when he reached more than ten steps outside the hall, he suddenly said, "Your Majesty, the minister wants to give it a try." ”

"What do you want to try?"

"I want to try the herd mentality."

Qin Wei said: "The minister is standing here, Your Majesty, you only need to watch from the palace, and the minister promises not to say a word, so that people passing by can follow." ”

"Don't say a word?"

"Yes."

Zhao Zhen nodded, "If it doesn't work, you will be grounded until the New Year's Day court meeting when you turn back." ”

What rice?

He smiled and said, "Yes, the minister is willing to give it a try." ”

Zhao Zhen turned around, Xu Mao followed, and when he passed by Qin Wei, he whispered: "Your Majesty is protecting you, don't be ignorant!" ”

Qin Wei nodded, and raised his eyebrows at Xu Mao to express his gratitude.

After the grounding, he will not be able to go to court, and the matter will gradually subside, and Zhao Zhen will wait for the right time to abolish the Divine Warriors.

The emperor's methods should have been vigorous and resolute, but against Qin Wei, Zhao Zhen was still soft.

Not to mention, Qin Wei has done a lot of things for him over the years, and has also made a lot of achievements, so it can be said that he is one of Zhao Zhen's most relied on courtiers.

Such a capable and loyal minister, the emperor should protect as much as possible, this is the benevolent lord.

He went into the hall and picked up the recital, and fell back into the endless state affairs.

Xu Mao glanced at Qin Wei outside, and saw that he looked up at the roof, as if he was in a daze.

What is this thing playing with?

His Majesty's temper is not good, if he thinks he can fool around, then the grounded iron will definitely not be able to escape.

There was sun outside, but it was just a little warm when it was basking in the sun, and a gust of cold wind came out, and Qin Wei couldn't help but shiver.

This is Zhao Zhen's territory, and from time to time there are palace people passing by.

It is necessary to often pass by in front of the big man's duty room, this is the experience of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty. Correspondingly, there was also this kind of experience in the palace, but this kind of experience was a nightmare for Qin Wei.

In his previous life, his leader did things more casually.

There are often people in the workshop who ask for leave, and then they have to find someone to take the shift. As an idle person, Qin Wei was caught and taken to work several times when he passed by with something at hand, and after that, he stayed away from the leader's office as far away as he could.

Several chamberlains walked over, and Qin Wei looked up at the roof of the main hall with a nervous expression.

What does this mean?

Several attendants stood behind him and followed suit.

Qin Wei's expression became more and more nervous, and a few palace maids came later, and they also followed curiously to the side.

After a stick of incense, Xu Mao, who had made a cup of tea for Zhao Zhen, turned around and exclaimed, "This is ...... Where are so many people? ”

As soon as Zhao Zhen picked up the teacup, he was in no mood by this exclamation, so he raised his head and said, "Get out!" ”

Belch!

He was also dumbfounded.

There were more than twenty people standing behind Qin Wei outside at this moment, looking at the roof in unison, what does this mean? What means did Qin Wei use?

It only took a short time to gather so many people.

Xu Mao has been in the palace for many years and has never believed in any evil, but today he believes it.

He walked out slowly, and saw that Qin Wei looked nervous, and those palace people were nervous with their mouths open, and everyone looked up at exactly the same angle......

He even saw several chamberlains and palace maids drooling.

What the hell did Qin Wei do? He walked to Qin Wei's side, but didn't notice that Zhao Zhen also came out, and the roof tiles were new, and they should have been replaced in the second half of the year.

Xu Mao looked around, and he swore he didn't see anything to be nervous about.

Zhao Zhen was the same, he looked back at the palace maids, coughed dryly, and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”

"I've seen Your Majesty."

A group of palace maids saluted blankly, and someone said, "The little one didn't see anything." ”

"Then why stare at it?"

Xu Mao was made to jump into the river by curiosity, so the tone of the question was more severe.

A group of palace maids all thought about it for a while, and then someone said, "The small one is to see someone watching, so I follow it...... I don't know what I'm looking at. ”

It's that simple?

Xu Mao pointed to a palace maid and asked, "What about you?" ”

The palace maid glanced at Qin Wei, and the look in her eyes was not quite right, which made Qin Wei tremble, thinking that the woman in the palace was really ...... Lonely as snow!

There are so many women, but only Zhao Zhen is the only one who can exercise power, no wonder he wants to say anything about the harem.

The palace maid said, "The slave saw that Lord Qin Qin was looking at it, and his expression was nervous, so he followed suit." ”

"What do you see?"

Xu Mao swore that he hadn't seen anything, and Zhao Zhen felt that this thing was a little strange.

"Didn't see anything."

"Then why do you want to see it?"

Belch......

The crowd was at a loss, and someone said, "Follow along, I just want to follow them." ”

"Nonsense!"

Xu Mao just wanted to go crazy, and Zhao Zhen said, "Disperse." ”

He had learned something and turned back to go inside.

"Ahh

Qin Wei sneezed as soon as he came in, and Zhao Zhen asked, "This is what you call conformity?" ”

"Yes."

Qin Wei said simply: "Most people have such thoughts, follow everyone, as long as someone starts, there will be no shortage of people to follow." Many scams actually take advantage of this mentality. ”

The scams of later generations are actually quite simple.

For example, those real estate companies, every time they open, it is the peak period of their performance.

They paid some money to fill up the deserted home buying office. Those who cry and shout to buy a house, can't buy how to ......

Those people who eat melons were happy when they saw it, and thought to themselves, I will go, there are so many people buying this house? So what are you waiting for? Hurry up!

Zhao Zhen was silent.

Qin Wei knew that he was thinking about the truth in this, but he couldn't figure it out for a while!

"Your Majesty, if you don't believe it, you can let Chen Duzhi go to the royal street and be like the ministers before, and ensure that the royal street will be blocked."

Xu Mao glared at him, thinking that he was here to relieve you just now, but you actually cheated people? But Your Majesty will definitely not agree.

"It's fine."

Zhao Zhen got up and said: "Let the Zai Fu follow, this is New Year's Day soon, and it should be loose and loose." ”

This is to excuse Qin Wei.

If it is true, the Divine Warriors will be free. If it is fake, Qin Wei can also be relieved, and the angry Zhao Zhen cliff will ground him until the Mid-Autumn Festival next year.

Xu Mao went out with Qin Wei and said in a low voice: "I'm waiting to see how long you will be grounded!" ”

"Huh!"

Qin Wei responded to his provocation with a hehe.

Later, the monarch and ministers gathered outside the imperial city in plain clothes, and Lu Yijian said: "Your Majesty, there are too many people outside and it's not safe, why don't you go?" ”

"Go!"

Zhao Zhen has always felt that Qin Wei's herd mentality is very strange, and he is even more afraid that this kid will fool himself, and the group will go forward, and there will be many people at the intersection ahead.

Zhao Zhen said: "It's right there." ”

Xu Mao turned around and asked, "How do you get it?" ”

"Simple."

Qin Wei said: "You just stand in the middle of the road, looking at the sky, it's best to look stunned, if you have a sound in your mouth, it's okay if you don't speak...... Anyway, you just stand still and keep looking in one direction. ”
