Transmigrated into the book to become the villain prince, the son of the plane to destroy

Zhou Jun did not save his life in the end, and was beheaded in public in the most disgraceful way amidst the applause of Luoyang people.

But Zhou Jun's death did not cause any turmoil.

Apart from Zhou Jun's own family, none of his former disciples dared to publicly call for his injustice.

Because of the publicity in the "Sili Times", everyone knew what Zhou Jun did after the Huai River broke the embankment, and the common people were all indignant. Zhou Jun has reached the point where everyone can kill him.

But the emperor's beheading of Zhou Jun in public can be said to be in line with public opinion, and the people all applauded. If anyone dared to raise objections, they would be regarded as Zhou Jun's accomplices.

Only Zhou Quan, the son of Zhou Jun, didn't believe in evil, ran around calling for grievances, and kept visiting Zhou Jun's old friends, wanting to rehabilitate his father, but those uncles and uncles all feared to avoid him, and no family dared to Stand out for Zhou Jun.

The reason is very simple. For a family, reputation is a very important thing. A family can survive for hundreds of years. Apart from passing on Confucian classics, the most important thing is reputation and prestige for hundreds of years.The ups and downs of the family, although to a large extent depend on the strength of merit.If a family loses its reputation, it will inevitably be scorned and excluded by other families. In the end, he completely fell out of the ranks of famous families.

Now that Zhou Jun's crimes have been made public by the "Sili Times", everyone knows about it, the reputation of the Zhou family has fallen, and it has become a disgrace to the famous family. Naturally, other aristocratic families all avoid them, fearing that they will be implicated by the Zhou family. .

However, Zhou Jun's case also made many aristocratic families realize that the situation in Luoyang was about to change. For the first time, they also felt the fear of being dominated by newspapers and the horror of being coerced by public opinion.

In the past, there was a clear distinction between the government and the opposition.Although those in power like to emphasize that officials are boat people and water, water can carry a boat or capsize it.But in fact, the common people don't know what happened in the court at all, and the officials in the court don't care about what the people think of them at all, they only care about what the superiors think of them.

But now, because of the appearance of the "Sili Times" and the fact that Xiao Jie, the instigator, thoughtfully sent some scholars to read the newspaper everywhere, many illiterate people in the capital can also know about the affairs of the court, and then use public opinion Public opinion affects the decision-making of the court.

In the past, aristocratic families controlled the right to speak in the world, and they could wantonly fabricate public opinion and turn black and white, but with the appearance of "Sili Times", they finally tasted the feeling that the right to speak is controlled by others.

This also means that Xiao Jie has finally stood on the opposite side of many aristocratic families. Zhou Jun's death is only the beginning, not the end.

……

Liangzhou, Wuwei County, Guzang City.

In the study room of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Wang Cheng looked at the informant in front of him, and couldn't help laughing up to the sky, very heartily.

Although Wang Cheng is in Liangzhou, he is also very concerned about the situation in the capital. He has also placed a lot of eyes and ears in the capital. Every few days, he will send someone to send a report to Liangzhou, so that Wang Cheng can keep track of the situation in the capital. And the news of the court, in order to make timely countermeasures.

As for the news report in front of him, the heaviest news on it is undoubtedly the death of former Zhongshu Ling Zhou Jun.

Wang Cheng didn't have any friendship with Zhou Jun, of course he didn't care about Zhou Jun's life or death, but Zhou Jun's death was a rare turning point for him and the Wang family.

He was born in the Wang family of Langya, so he knew very well in his heart that the family was connected with each other, and the relationship was intertwined.Because of Zhou Jun's death, many aristocratic families will feel dissatisfied with Xiao Jie, the instigator, and resent him for killing Zhou Jun, who was also from the same family. He would even oppose Xiao Jie becoming the prince of Daning.

If Xiao Jie lost the support of a large number of aristocratic families, his son-in-law Xiao Huang would have much more hope of becoming the crown prince.

"I don't know why Lord Taishan is smiling so happily."

At this time Xiao Huang walked into Wang Cheng's study, seeing Wang Cheng smiling so happily, he couldn't help asking with a smile.

Wang Cheng smiled and handed the newsletter in his hand to Xiao Huang, Xiao Huang took a look, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but sneered, he was worthy of being his good younger brother, he could sit on the throne of the prince, but if he insisted on making troubles, he would not The big family of the young family forced him to go against him. I really don't know whether he is confident or ignorant.

However, Xiao Huang still couldn't help feeling a little worried, because it can be seen from the news in the online newspaper that now the father not only entrusted Xiao Jie with a heavy responsibility, handed over the entire capital of the capital to his hands, and let him toss, but also He obeyed what he said, which was definitely not a good thing for him.

Wang Cheng saw the worried look on his son-in-law's face, and the smile on his own face gradually disappeared. He asked puzzledly, "My son-in-law, is there anything wrong?"

Xiao Huang nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Although Xiao Jie has offended many aristocratic families in Beijing, he has gained even more favor from his father. If this continues, it won't be long before his father formally appoints him as the crown prince. "

Wang Cheng shook his head nonchalantly when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "My son-in-law, I think you are worrying too much. Even if the emperor favors Xiao Jie again, he still has to worry about the subjects of the world, especially us aristocratic families. Don’t forget how much the former emperor loved Chen Wang Xiaoyang, and wanted to appoint him as the crown prince, but in the end it was not because of the strong opposition of our royal family and several other families that the current emperor was able to be appointed. As the heir apparent of Daning, he will inherit the country and country of Daning."

Xiao Huang smiled, nodded again and again in agreement, but he didn't think so in his heart.In his opinion, the situation of Xiao Yang and Xiao Jie is completely different. Relying on the favor of the former emperor, Xiao Yang was arrogant and rude to the ministers, and acted recklessly to the common people. , This is also an important reason why the first emperor had to give up registering this son as the prince for the sake of the country and the country.

But Xiao Jie is different. He is capable, ambitious, and courageous. Although he has offended many aristocratic families, his own power should not be underestimated. There are Su family and Qingliu party in the court to support him, and he is handed over to the state and the local government. Sizhou is under his control, and even the deputy governor of Youzhou, Gao Yang, is also one of his people, and the Tao family's wealth is incomparable to the country's financial resources to support him behind his back.

Xiao Huang even had some doubts, even if Xiao Jie rebelled now, there might be a slight chance of winning.

Thinking of this, Xiao Huang couldn't help feeling sad and regretful, Su Yao and the Su family, Tao Han and the Tao family, as well as Gao Yang and the governor of Jiaozhou, these were the things he had his eyes on first, but now they all fall into the trap. In Xiao Jie's hand.

What he can still fight for now is the more than 20 Northwest Frontier Army in the hands of his father-in-law Wang Cheng. As long as he can fully control the 30 army, he will not be afraid of Xiao Jie at all.

He had already mentioned to Wang Cheng several times about sending troops to attack Di Hu, but Wang Cheng politely refused each time.

Xiao Huang knew in his heart that Wang Cheng had his own worries, one was worried that he would not be the opponent of Di Hu, and the other was that he would lose control of the 20 army in the end.After all, now that the Wang family has lost power in the court, Wang Cheng and the Wang family have already regarded the last 20 troops as the last straw and amulet.

Just when Xiao Huang was still hesitating whether to bring up the matter of serving Dihu again, Wang Cheng's personal soldiers suddenly came in and reported:

"Report to the Governor, Miss is here and says she wants to see the Governor."

Xiao Huang's complexion couldn't help but froze, and his expression became a little weird, of course he knew why Wang Yu came.
