Chapter 34: The Struggle for the Nation's Capital (5)

After a long dry season, the thunder is particularly striking.

The onlookers and the people were also frightened by this thunder that resounded in the sky, and kept looking up at the sky, and there was no change for dozens of seconds.

This led to the every move of several people on the high platform, all of which were watched.

Emperor Wanli stood on a high platform, facing natural disasters but not afraid, he really had the appearance of the Son of Heaven.

King Fu was also tall, and he did not retreat at all because of the thunder.

The two of them, one is the emperor who has been in charge of the world for many years after all, and he thinks that this thunder was brought by himself, so he is not afraid at all, and the other, with the idea of winning the crown prince, will not be frightened by the thunder, but will be inspired to have greater ambitions.

But Zhu Changluo, the king of Rong, does not have such ability.

He was cowardly and timid by nature, and he was genuinely frightened by the terrible thunder.

So in full view of everyone, he was so frightened by the thunder that he staggered back half a step, and his movements were extremely obvious.

And now, he is still staring, his hands are trembling slightly, and he obviously still has palpitations.

It is said that he is not the only one who is scared, this time the thunder is really terrifying, and the other princes are actually scared a lot, but who made him the eldest son of the emperor who is in the limelight, and everyone is staring at him?

Suddenly, this scene was fully watched by the onlookers.

The ministers saw it, the people saw it, and the sons saw it.

If it was just him, it would be okay, after all, everyone was also blinded by this thunder, but with Wanli and Fuwang Zhuyu in front, this time, the contrast is too obvious!

All of a sudden, some rumors among the people seemed to be corroborated, and the people of the "Fuwang faction" suddenly became excited:

"King Fu is not chaotic in the face of heavenly might, and he really has the spirit of a master!"

"Your Majesty! All the heroes of the world! ”

One-sided praise, although they didn't dare to openly say some bad things about King Rong, but inside and outside the words, everything was hinting at something, and the people of the "King Rong faction" were as silent as death.

After all, King Rong looked like he was about to be scared to cry, and he really didn't have to argue, even if he had a hard mouth, saying two words "What's the use of being bold", he quickly lost his voice.

Listening to the words in his ear, Yan Chenxin turned his head quietly, glanced at his younger brother behind him, and a smile crossed the corner of his mouth.

This is a script that has been prepared a long time ago, and King Rong's reaction really did not surprise them.

Although Yu Zu used his divine powers, it was all worth it.

The verdict has been made!

At this time, Gu Boyang on the other side was also extremely embarrassed!

Not long ago, he had just propagated his theory in the inn, held King Rong to the sky, and stepped on King Fu heavily, but as soon as he arrived at the scene, everything was reversed.

Now the people around him are looking at him with strange eyes - this is what you said, the majestic and heroic King Rong?

A king frightened by thunder?

Look at the Fu King, how calm and chic! Look at King Rong again...... How scared as his four-year-old brother.

Just look at it, it's really good, but it turned out to be an embroidered pillow rotten straw bag!

Gu Boyang only felt embarrassed for a while, he silently lowered his head and covered his face with his sleeve.

Not only the lifters, but also the crowd of onlookers also heard a buzz, all of which were criticized.

Even the joyful celebration of the emperor's success in praying for rain was suppressed and ignored.

Wanli naturally noticed this, but he was so happy, so he didn't care, seeing that there were already small raindrops falling from the sky, he hurriedly thanked him and got back into the sedan chair.

Almost in the next moment, the pouring rain poured down, causing the people of Beijing, who had been in drought for a long time, to bathe in the rain again.

It's just that for the people of Jingshi, this happy event is destined not to be the focus of their discussion tonight.

The raindrops hit the body hard, making the delicate skin painful, and the wet clothes were tightly attached to the body, which was very uncomfortable, just like Zhu Changluo's mood at this time.

The King Rong lowered his eyes and returned to the sedan chair with a depressed expression.

He is not a fool, he knows what the impact of his actions today will be.

However, what can be done about his nature?

The heavy rain washed away the criticism behind him.

……

Yan Chenxin did not let go of this opportunity, or rather, this was a long-planned move.

After this incident, countless carrier pigeons flew out of Beijing, and Changle bookstores all over the country also started at full speed and printed frantically.

At this time, the current affairs of Changle Bookstore also had the role of some "newspapers", especially the complex intelligence system and the infiltration of the Beijing Division, so that they could obtain first-hand and exciting information.

For example, the private life of an official who has been dismissed, and the gentry of a certain gentry who publicly remarks that "Mengde's legacy is good, it is good", and so on, are all things that will attract the people to watch and talk about them.

It's not that no one has been jealous of the huge profits and influence of Changle Bookstore and tried to emulate it, but they were all crushed in these aspects, and finally forced to go out of business, so that Changle Bookstore is almost a monopoly in the Ming Dynasty.

Yan Ling's behavior of running Changle Bookstore in the early years has been effective, and now the public opinion of Daming has almost been completely controlled by the family.

Therefore, when a large number of articles on the times poured into the market, the influence was extremely terrifying, and at this moment, the image of King Rong was really confirmed.

There are also some officials of the "Rongwang faction" who want to ban Changle Bookstore from printing articles under the pretext of prohibiting Changle Bookstore, but they can't do it at all - this article just truthfully records the scene of the day, and by the way, what is Your Majesty's Mandate of Heaven Zhenren, Ming Dynasty Yongchang and the like, do you dare to ban it? What are your intentions?

Coupled with the terrifying shadow behind Changle Bookstore, they also quickly retreated.

Not only that, Dongqian Academy also came to join in the fun. Although Wang Xue was suppressed in the earlier Zhang Juzheng era, Zhang Juzheng also saw that the face of the Yan family was not wiped out after all, and left a pure land for them in the southeast.

At this time, the Dongqian Academy, because of the previous suppression, became extremely radical, led by the former Taizhou school, they advocated against the Confucian etiquette system, attached importance to the common people, and now naturally strongly opposed the Confucian system, demanding the establishment of a king who can properly govern the world, that is, the Fu King.

After Wang Xue's comeback, he still had a great influence, and their statement directly caused Shilin, who was originally single-minded, to have a disagreement!
