Chapter 987: The Power of Rumors
At that time, because of the inappropriate atrocities of the new emperor, it had already caused complaints inside and outside the court, and the people began to question the new emperor because of the rumors spread by Yue Junzheng.
Because neither when the new emperor was King Shen nor what he did after succeeding to the throne, did not do anything that could win the hearts of the people for himself.
On the contrary, after the new emperor succeeded to the throne, he began to build a palace for himself, and wantonly looked for beautiful women in the Yue Kingdom to be included in the palace for his fun.
What's more, just because he made the new emperor happy because of the beautiful woman he offered, he promoted a vulgar person who could not read a few big characters to a court official.
At that time, many people dared to be angry, but these things that once seemed trivial accumulated more and more, and one day they would be detonated by a thin wire.
And Yue Junzheng is very good at using this way, and he seems to have inadvertently made a lead.
At that time, the new emperor, the virtuous ministers who were loyal to the country around him, no longer dared to tell the truth to the first emperor because of the fate of those two officials, and chose to remain silent.
And the useless people around him who only know how to eat, drink and have fun with him can't think of any good way to deal with it.
Far from the virtuous minister, close to the villain, the new emperor built a bottomless tomb for himself step by step.
And, very importantly, it is.
When the new emperor succeeded to the throne, Ning Zhao's auxiliary work was clearly seen by even Cang Jiuyao, if there was no Ning Xiang, with the new emperor's own ability, it would be almost impossible to sit in today's position.
However, after the new emperor succeeded to the throne, his desire for profit continued to expand, because Ning Xiang often dissuaded him, so he was very bored, and he began to gradually distance himself from Ning Xiang, and even secretly plottered to get rid of Ning Xiang.
Ning was able to support King Shen to succeed to the throne for many years, firstly because King Shen's mother Concubine Yu was from Qi State, and Ning Xiang and Qi State also had an inextricable relationship, and more importantly, Ning Xiang himself was also a powerful person, how could he allow the new emperor to kick him away after all the hard work?
Therefore, Yue Jun is ordering people to spread those rumors that they want to form an alliance with Ning Xiang.
The new emperor has always been extremely suspicious, and he was already dissatisfied with Ning Xiang, and he even thought that Ning Xiang must have secretly formed an alliance with Yue Junzheng, waiting to overthrow him.
And Ning Xiang himself, because of the new emperor's various things, has been extremely sad, and Ning Xiang himself realized that if he continued to stay by the new emperor's side, even if he did not have Yue Junzheng, he would not end well.
So Ning really began to wait and see, hesitating.
Once again, Yue Junzheng easily used a few rumors to break the two strongest alliances, causing them to start to be suspicious of each other.
There is no need for Yue Junzheng to do it himself, they have already begun to plan and calculate with each other.
At the same time, even if Yue Junzheng went to the capital, he did not stop preparing for the big wedding, and he ordered the best craftsmen of the Shui family shop to make the most beautiful phoenix crown and xia veil, which has long been known to everyone.
But except for the people of Jiayunguan and Huaifeng, many people in the capital didn't know that Yue Junzheng really wanted to marry the concubine of the Cangjia family who was posted on the pole.
Therefore, rumors began to circulate that Yue Junzheng was already preparing for the wedding of Ning Xiang's daughter, and the day he entered the imperial city was the time to marry Ning Xiang's daughter.
There are more and more rumors from all walks of life, and no one can tell the truth from the false.
