Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

Chapter 242 The power of public opinion

This newspaper has a total of two pages and two parts of content. The first part is about how the prince was so servile and weak as to beg for peace from the Huns.

The content is very detailed, even the prince's decision to pay tribute to the Huns every year is clearly written.

The writing was so provocative that even Xiao Lingxi couldn't help but gnashed her teeth in hatred after reading it, feeling that the prince was a traitor.

The content on the second page details the love story between Xiao Lingxi and Ning Fan, rendering the love between the two people extremely touching, and Ning Fan's long-distance marriage was also written down in a big book. It was shaped into a touching love story.

It has to be said that the power of words is very powerful. The main medium for disseminating information in this era is words. Once words become inflammatory and subjective, it is easy to spread an inherent belief.

"Now do you still think this matter is not good for me? Once this newspaper spreads, it will not be me but the prince who will be anxious."

Ning Fan sneered again and again. He had already prepared a plan, and now everything was within his expectation.

Xiao Lingxi looked at the man in front of her who was turning his hands into fish and clouds. She was surprised and happy in her heart. She didn't expect that such a huge disaster would be easily resolved by Ning Fan.

"But the newspaper office in Kyoto has been destroyed. Can these newspapers really be delivered?"

Xiao Lingxi asked again.

Ning Fan smiled slightly and showed a confident expression again.

"Do you know why the prince targeted you? In fact, the main reason why the prince targeted you in the first place was because the newspapers publicized my deeds and had a positive effect on my image. This is why the prince became jealous."

"Actually, I was fully prepared at that time. Not only did I quietly establish a secret newspaper base in Kyoto, but I also opened branches in all major states and provinces."

The news that Ning Fan revealed made Xiao Lingxi take a breath of air. He didn't expect that Ning Fan had done so many things secretly.

"Does the prince really think that he can confuse right and wrong with just one mouth? I can tell him that that era no longer exists, and the information released by the court now is not necessarily authoritative information."

Ning Fan had a confident smile on his face. In this era, public opinion is king. Only by controlling public opinion and controlling the right to speak, even the prince and the imperial power cannot compete with the right to speak. This is the dimensionality reduction of newspapers in this era. blow.

At the same time, the East Palace where the prince lived also ushered in a joyous celebration. When Yan Wudao got the news, he rushed into the prince's palace immediately and woke up the sleeping prince.

When the prince learned that Ning Fan actually kidnapped the wedding party, a look of surprise appeared on his face for a moment.

"You should think carefully about how to issue the imperial edict tomorrow. Lao Liu really doesn't care about anything for the sake of women this time."

The prince was also overjoyed.

Now Emperor Tian'an has entered a dying state. For the prince, the jade seal in the palace is at his fingertips. He can issue an imperial edict at any time if he wants.

"Your Highness, Ning Fan is so audacious that he dares to sabotage the marriage. That is making him an enemy of all the people of Dakang. I think it is better to just send troops to encircle and suppress him."

Yan Wudao blurted out impulsively, but soon he added: "If this is true, then the Sixth Prince will most likely directly rebel. With the more than 50,000 troops he currently has, it will really take a lot of effort to encircle and suppress him." After a lot of effort, it is better to send an imperial edict to Ning Fan to return to the capital, and we can take this opportunity to capture him in one fell swoop."

"Then what should we say about his kidnapping? We won't have no reaction at all, right? How should the Huns explain it?"

The prince was not satisfied with this result. He frowned slightly and looked a little anxious.

For him, the throne is right in front of him. Whoever affects his pace of obtaining the throne should be eliminated in his eyes.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can issue an imperial edict in the name of His Majesty, severely rebuke him, and tell the world about this matter. In this case, His Highness the Sixth Prince's reputation will be discredited by everyone in the world."

"Without the support of the people of the world, the Sixth Prince will not be able to pose any threat to His Royal Highness. It is only natural to deal with him when the time comes."

Yan Wudao said matter-of-factly.

When the prince heard what Yan Wudao said, he gradually showed a calm look on his face: "Listening to what you said, it makes sense. Tomorrow I will issue an imperial edict to completely destroy Ning Fan. By then, everyone in the world will be destroyed." Everyone is blaming him, but I wonder how he can turn around."

The prince and Yan Wudao discussed it for half the night, but early the next morning, the prince was dumbfounded because a newspaper was placed in front of him. When he saw the contents of the newspaper, the prince was so angry that his hair stood on end.

"This is simply confusing right and wrong. Hasn't the Ta Kung Pao newspaper office in Kyoto been destroyed? Where did their newspapers print from?"

In anger, the prince reached out and tore up the newspaper in front of him.

And Yan Wudao was shocked when he saw the face in the newspaper, because the content in the newspaper was true. If the people in the world believed it, then it would not be the sixth prince but the prince who would be discredited.

At this critical juncture, if the prince is really targeted, the consequences can be imagined.

"Your Highness, I don't know what is going on. The newspaper has obviously been destroyed. Why are all these newspapers on the market overnight and printed in advance? It seems that it was premeditated."

No matter how smart Yan Wudao was, he was panicked when he encountered this situation and didn't know what to do for a while.

"Is this the idea you gave me? We tried our best, but in the end, Ning Fan was defeated. Tell me who will be responsible for this matter, and how will it end?"

The prince stared at Yan Wudao angrily, wishing to tear the counselor into pieces.

Even though Yan Wudao was full of wisdom at this time, he couldn't think of a solution and blurted out: "In such a big Kyoto, I don't believe that this newspaper of yours can give everyone a copy of the prince. It is better to issue a decree. Everyone who reads this Arrest everyone from the newspaper."

"Arrests."

The prince was also confused by Yan Wudao's imagination.

"Yes, we are arresting people. Everyone who spreads or reads this newspaper will be arrested."

Yan Wudao said crazily.
