Turbulent Times Chapter 178: Public opinion war (part 1)

As for Chen Danying, who Wang Junlin wanted to stay by his side with all his heart, he left a letter and left quietly that night after he woke up the day before yesterday and after his cloud and rain. Wang Junlin was annoyed at the time, but after a forced smile, he didn't send anyone to look for it, but asked Shen Guang to keep an eye on Chunnvlou's every move and collect all the news about Chunnvlou.

Although Qiu Rui is old and cunning, he does not have such powerful methods and minds, so he is just an executor. The person who made this plan is a real master of manipulating people's hearts. While smearing Wang Junlin, it actually further proves the fact that Empress Dugu is the reincarnation of the evil Mulian's mother, thus explaining that she caused trouble in the harem and abolished the former prince against the sky. In other words, the other party mainly wanted to take advantage of Wang Junlin's poisonous and fierce reputation. As for turning his image into a devil in the hearts of the people, it was just incidental.

The two biggest sources of income for the Changping Prince's Mansion were the slave trade, in addition to the secret trading of pig iron, grain and other forbidden items with the Khitans and Turks in the Big Hammer and Iron Shop.

The slave business has always existed in the feudal society and has never been cut off. It is even regarded as a default legal business in many cases. The main source of servants and maids of many wealthy families, prostitutes in brothels, and even some guards and dead men is human trafficking, otherwise there would be no distinction between good families and sluts.

According to the comprehensive judgment from Yang Lihua's Nighthawk and Shen Guang's Chujian's Ghost Eye, at least one-fifth of the slave business in the entire capital city of Changping Palace is accounted for, and they mainly sell children and women.

In addition, there are as many as 3,000 missing children and women in the capital every year, and this is still registered in the Jingzhao Mansion. There are more unregistered ones. Wang Junlin's plan mainly focuses on the trafficking of children and women in the Changping Palace. Throw the scapegoat of the missing three thousand children and women on the Changping Palace.

On the way to the East Palace, Wang Junlin sorted out the matter further, combined with the information sent by the Nighthawk Envoy, he roughly guessed the cause and effect, and had already thought up his first plan.

Yang Guang was extremely happy that Wang Junlin finally took the initiative to meet him. After all, no matter who can get such a powerful, mysterious and terrifying helper like Wang Junlin, it will only be a surprise. For this reason, Yang Guang was secretly grateful for Yang Yong's stupidity, because he knew that Wang Junlin did not express his intention to join him at first, but now Yang Yong's actions pushed such a terrifying guy to his side.

Wang Junlin's plan merged with the strategy of Zhang Jike, Yang Guang's new aide, and formed a counterattack strategy that made Yang Guang extremely happy. With the impatient support of Yang Guang's forces, Wang Junlin's plan quickly got implemented.

…

…

Caring about current affairs and politics has been a common characteristic of all people in the capital since ancient times. If there is no hot topic happening in Daxing City for a day, how can it be regarded as the center of the Great Sui Dynasty.

Yesterday afternoon, the news about Wang Junlin had replaced the rumors about the total solar eclipse, but early this morning, another matter became a hot topic.

Wang Junlin just stated the plan and provided a general direction. Naturally, a large group of staff under Yang Guang's command will refine the specific operations and implement them with various talents. For example, Wang Junlin only told the general plot of the story, and soon several talented staff polished it up into a moving and shocking story.

Then this story was engraved into engravings overnight. Yang Guang mobilized all the manpower and material resources under his command, and gathered more than 50 engravers to start work overnight. Very good, a full 100,000 copies were printed. According to Wang Junlin's plan, every household inside and outside the capital of the Sui Dynasty must know the beastly behavior of the Changping Palace, and it will truly become a household name.

"I'm going to post this thing all over the capital tomorrow." When Yang Guang gave this order, he was full of spirits. Distributing leaflets and posting notices, this terrifying method of public opinion, was taught by Wang Junlin to Zhang Jike, who became Yang Guang's staff stepping stone.

While Yang Guang and Wang Junlin led people to carry out their plan in full swing, with Yang Yong's secret support, members of the Qiu family kept coming and going in and out of the rich and powerful family's house. After many years of marriage, Qiu Rui had countless relatives. , there are also countless disciples, together with the officials and aristocratic families who originally supported Yang Yong, as well as the old Gao Ying disciples who secretly manipulated everything, a large number of people are ready for the final decisive battle in the morning tomorrow, and there will be a large group of officials at that time The impeachment of Wang Junlin, and using this as an introduction, while bringing down Wang Junlin, naturally implicated Queen Dugu and Yang Guang, and finally formed a general trend, forcing or guiding Emperor Yang Jian to abolish Prince Yang Guang.

…

…

After leaving the East Palace, Wang Junlin sat in the carriage, stroking a jade pendant that Yang Guang had just given him, and said to himself with a dignified expression: "Yang Jian is the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and his methods and mind are absolutely perfect." He's top-notch. He's been acting ambiguously these days. There must be a reason for watching his two sons use the dead queen to fight for the crown prince. It always feels like the emperor is going to play another big chess game. Maybe Yang Jian set up a long time ago. The trap is over, and I, and even Yang Yong and Yang Guang are the bait in the trap. The emperor can't trust the ministers who come from a powerful family in the court. I have nothing to do with all the powerful, only I am the most suitable bait. It is taboo, and the emperor poured oil on it again."

Thinking of this, Wang Junlin lifted the curtains of the carriage, called Shen Guang over, and said, "You find a way to get in touch with Baishi, and ask him to find out what His Majesty has been doing these days, and what old **** Du is doing ? Tell Baishi, if he helps me with this matter, I will be grateful."

Shen Guang agreed, then hurriedly turned and left.

As a later generation, Wang Junlin is not aware of the powerful role of public opinion. He just told the people in the capital that the Changping Palace likes to sell women and children. What Wang Junlin wants to tell people.

The trafficking of women and children was done by the former prince Yang Yong secretly supporting the Changping Palace. The reason for this is that Yang Yong wanted to regain his position as the crown prince, but he recruited aristocratic families, officials, and raised dead men A lot of money is needed, but since he left the East Palace, his expenses are not as good as those of ordinary princes, so where does this money come from. Therefore, Qiu Rui gave all the profits from selling women and children to Yang Yong. The second half of the story is naturally what Yang Guang wants to tell the people.

The ultimate goal is to ask the people in the capital to be careful and take care of their own women and children, otherwise they will be taken away by the Changping Palace and sold to other places as slaves. Collusion, and these rude savages like to raise a few delicate-skinned Han women as slaves. They can vent their desires and work. As for how miserable life is after becoming slaves of northern savages, needless to say, People will only imagine it as hell.

And children are even more serious. It is said that the Turkic people like to use the brains of Han children to serve wine, the skulls are used as wine glasses, the body is made into human wax, and the skin is peeled off to make human skin drums. It is said that in Turkic, the human skin drum of the eight-year-old Xiaolang of the Han family is a sacred object, and every household needs it.

Wang Junlin does not believe that the people in the capital will not be interested in these things that are related to their personal safety and interests. People who have such mythical stories as the total solar eclipse, the legend of Mulian's mother, and the poisonous snake demon are going to be spread uproariously. Will you be indifferent to things that are terrifying and directly related to your own safety? Picking up the masterpiece written by Yang Guang and his staff, Wang Junlin read it once, and said to himself with emotion: "What a literary talent!"

As we all know, in the feudal dynasty dominated by Confucianism, the more powerful and aristocratic families, they tried every means to accumulate reputation. Indifferent? It is said that the Qiu family was a well-known family of generals in the previous Zhou Dynasty, and had a good reputation of defending the family and the country for more than a hundred years.

"Let your Qiu family experience the power of big-character posters, and also let you feel what public opinion bombing is. Three days later, when people in the capital see people from the Qiu family and don't go around, I will follow you." If the members of the Qiu family don’t become street rats in ten days, I’ll leave the capital directly and go back to Gaotai City, Yongzhou.” Wang Junlin gritted his teeth and groaned inwardly.

According to the plan, Yang Guang will find a way to find some families with missing persons tomorrow. Finally, it is confirmed that the missing relatives in these families were all kidnapped by Changping Palace. Most of the women are now in Turkic or The Khitan lived a life that was worse than that of pigs and dogs. Naturally, the children had died tragically, and the wild men of the northern race took their skulls to drink.

This method is very cruel. When Wang Junlin said it at the time, Yang Guang was pleasantly surprised, and his expression changed slightly, but he immediately accepted it with great interest, and on the basis of Wang Junlin, he mobilized his staff Further optimization is carried out, and this method strives to achieve the maximum effect.

Wang Junlin has absolute reasons to believe that the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty in the palace, who was able to end the chaotic times of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, is watching all the movements in Daxing City with great interest. Will the consequences disrupt Yang Jian's plan that may be secretly plotting.

…

…

In the early morning of the next day, all the squares and cities in the capital opened as usual, and people seemed to have forgotten that all kinds of horrible rumors about the evil general who was said to be evil in the legend, but who seemed to have no direct relationship with them, still started. I work hard every day to make a living, and I care about those high-ranking nobles and the poisonous generals who killed many Turkic people. Why not care about today's rice and meat prices.
