The Devil's Coming [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 60: The Uncrowned King 26

"Have you heard about the mistake of taking the prince of Duke of Wei's mansion..."

"Hasn't this been spread all over the capital for a long time? When the prince of Duke of Wei's mansion was born, the child was taken away from another family by mistake. The real prince wandered in the countryside for sixteen years and was only found last month. Who in the capital doesn't know about this? Is it worth you to talk about it so seriously?"

"Oh! That's not what I want to talk about. Do you know the secret behind this? Do you know how the mistake was taken away? Do you know what kind of life the prince who has been wandering outside has lived for these years? What kind of grievances and hatreds have there been between the two families? Do you know what the fake prince who enjoyed sixteen years of wealth and glory has ended up like now?"

"Do you know everything? Brother, please tell me in detail."

In restaurants, on the streets, the popularity of the real and fake princes of Duke of Wei's mansion has risen again for some reason. Was the mistake of taking the child accidental or intentional? What is the other family who exchanged the child with Duke of Wei's mansion like? The life of the prince in exile over the years, the comparison of all aspects of the real prince and the fake prince, the current situation of the two... Gossip is indeed a common instinct of human beings, especially when the identity of the object of gossip is unusual and the experience is also bizarre, everyone gets excited when talking about these.

Compared to the past when they could only guess randomly, now someone actually tells them everything they are curious about in detail, and what they say is very logical and reasonable.

The more you listen, the more convinced you become. However, some nitpickers can't help but question: "... This is obviously made up. Where did you hear the story about the Duke of Wei's Mansion? Why is it so detailed?"

Faced with the questioning, the other party was not panicked. Instead, he leaned closer and said mysteriously: "I'm telling you, don't spread it casually. I saw this in "Secrets of Shangjing" in Mozhai. This book is not ordinary. It is said that the author has a great background. He is the descendant of Prime Minister Cao and is also good friends with the Duke of Wei's son. What he wrote must be true!"

The same is true in other places. Maybe the specific process is different, but in the end it all became a book promotion and publicity.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the fake prince who was mistakenly picked up by the Duke of Wei's mansion was actually appreciated by the nobles and soared to the sky again? Why don't I have such good luck!"

"Where did you get this fake news? I vaguely remember that the man had been in prison for murder, right?"

"No, no, he was obviously discouraged and returned to the countryside to raise pigs."

"Why did I hear that he went to the mountains to gather bandits and raise the flag?"

"Bullshit, he was obviously back to the countryside to raise pigs!"

"You are bullshitting! It's obvious that he relied on his talent to meet the nobles and appreciated him to soar to the sky again. When he was driven out, he made a vow at the door of the Duke's mansion: "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't bully the young and poor." This makes my blood boil. How could he go back to the countryside to raise pigs? "

"Why did I hear that he was determined to take revenge on the Duke's mansion and cut himself with a knife and entered the palace to become a eunuch?"

"Stop fighting, stop fighting, why are there still people fighting for a story?"

"Story? !”

“…Isn’t it “Secrets of Shangjing”? That’s the truth of the secret revealed by Jia Xiang’s disciples! How could it be fake!”

“You are wrong. This is the storybook in the appendix of “Secrets of Shangjing”. The secret truth is indeed revealed in the original edition. The causes and consequences of the true and false prince of Weiguo Mansion being revealed are all clearly described in it. The appendix is ​​a storybook based on that incident! That is, the author’s story deduced based on real events. The protagonist is the fake prince Li who mistakenly entered the nest of wealth and honor for 16 years. It tells the story of how he fell from wealth and honor to poverty and humbleness when his life experience was exposed one day…”

“Those stories you talked about about raising pigs, going up the mountain, and being appreciated by nobles… Those are all stories born from different choices. It’s like a copper coin dropped on the ground. If you pick it up or not, it’s two different stories. Most of you just heard a few words from others and took it seriously!”

“It turned out to be a story in the storybook! This is new! I've never heard of such a storybook. Where can I buy "Secrets of Shangjing"? Someone wants to buy it! "

"Mozhai in Wuling Lane has it. The name of this storybook is straightforward, called "After the Fake Prince's Background is Revealed". If you can't read, you can go and listen to storytellers. I saw storytellers in several restaurants and inns, and they all tell different stories based on different choices. It's very interesting to listen to! "

I don't know when, the strange marketing began.

The story goes to different places according to the different choices of the protagonist. In this era, it is a groundbreaking work. In addition, the material is based on the real events of the Duke of Wei's mansion in reality. The protagonist is still the fake prince with a twisted life experience and a reversed fate. It is full of highlights, and the author's writing is excellent. If used to write novels, the level of writing is crushing the general storybook writers. The whole Shangjing has fallen into a frenzy of chasing the text.

Moreover, compared with other storybooks of the same era, the creation is long and a whole book is published at a time. This new theme of storybook actually takes the daily update route, and new stories are updated every day.

As for behind this, Chu Jizhou, the author who keeps writing, the ghosts who work day and night as coolies, the system 333 that supervises the ghosts to work hard, and Su Ying who chases the update every day and urges the manuscript, and specially catches many ghosts related to this line to work, how hard they work and silently pay, there is no need to mention it.

-Hey, it seems that there is something strange mixed in here?

Su is not tired at all except eating, drinking and having fun. Ying: Well, this strange thing must refer to the ghost who was devoted to improving movable type printing during his lifetime and died suddenly while working hard. The ghost born can actually improve the printing efficiency under his targeted training. Under its halo, the ghosts that were originally unable to contact the entity can contact the printing tools and become the strange ghosts of social animals!

In short, it must not be him!

In just a few days, "Secrets of Shangjing" sold like crazy!

With "revealing the secret" as the gimmick and the affairs of the Duke of Wei's mansion as the selling point, the trend of raising pigs and farming in the countryside, the trend of upgrading the harem of powerful eunuchs, the trend of rising to the top in the imperial examination, the trend of getting the heart of a noble lady and living a soft life as a son-in-law... All kinds of outrageous trends, combined with Chu Jizhou's superb writing style, make those who enter the pit unable to stop, and make Shangjing paper expensive.

Although it triggered a wave of enthusiasm in Shangjing, the enthusiasm was ultimately limited to the people and did not attract the attention of the court. After all, it was just a fictional storybook. Moreover, Su Ying, who served as the material, did not mind it, but was very happy. Not only was he very happy, he also acted as the villain in the storybook, which was the biggest challenge on the road to the rise of the protagonist. Those strange and embarrassing methods made readers feel overwhelmed.

—— Anyone with a little background can find out that the author of "Secrets of Shangjing" is related to the prince of Weiguo. Even those who originally had a bad relationship with Chu Jizhou did not want to confront the prince of Weiguo for a guy who had fallen to the point of writing storybooks.

Many people bought "Secrets of Shangjing" when they had nothing to do, and they were addicted to it at first sight.

In their eyes, the combination of Su Ying and Chu Jizhou was probably the same as the storybook written by the latter. Although it was interesting, it was just the object of their after-dinner entertainment. Many people privately said:

"The son of the Duke of Wei has been out there for so many years, and has been infected with the air of the market. He doesn't want to make friends with young talents and go to the academy to study. He eats, drinks and has fun with a bunch of playboys all day long, and hangs out with storytellers! Now he has become a merchant. He has inherited a family business like the Duke's Mansion, but he personally runs a bookstore and uses his own affairs to compile storybooks. He doesn't hesitate to make up and slander himself for profit... He is really like Chu Jizhou, who is self-degrading and can't be on the stage!"

"This guy really tarnished the reputation of the Duke of Wei's Mansion!"

"Not just the Duke of Wei's Mansion? There are such people among the nobles, who sell smiles to others like actors. It is a shame for the nobles!"

Among this group of people, there are many people whose black materials were exposed by Su Ying before, and whose children were beaten, but they could only apologize.

Especially after the Duke of Lu's Mansion was stripped of its title, they were even more dissatisfied with the Duke of Wei's Mansion.

In the past, they could not show their dissatisfaction, after all, it was caused by their own doing something they shouldn't have done. But now, it was Su Ying who was willing to fall, so they could accuse him with righteous words and openness.

While saying this, they continued to follow the update.

While the common people were happily following the article and the upper class was criticizing and following the article, the main issue of "Secrets of Shangjing" finished talking about the Duke of Wei's Mansion and had new content.

The first is # Is the tragic siege of the Duke of Wei's son on the streets of Shangjing a moral decline or a distortion of human nature # .

# Revealing the unknown things of each family and mansion #

—— "Secrets of Shangjing" is of course not so straightforward, and still continues the feature of telling the truth in a storybook.

So the truth is this:

"Official Promotion Records": tells how an unnamed censor accepted bribes, distorted facts, and slandered competitors to rise to power step by step.

"The Great Qi Family": tells how an unnamed Duke of Lu and others used all means to maintain the prosperity of their family and expand their family. Including but not limited to using adopted sons to pretend to be the prince, annexing good land, forced buying and selling, and forcing good people into slavery.

"The Storm in the Back House": tells how an unnamed good woman survived in the back house after being robbed by a bully.

In short, the officials in the court, the civil and military nobles, have all become unnamed prototypes and written into the storybook.

Most people will not react to these contents, but the parties will immediately feel familiar after a quick look: Aren't these all things I have done?

Looking more carefully, there are connotations between the lines!

People who were originally watching the fun, suddenly found that they were implied, and they changed from watching the fun to the fun: "..."

Good guy, this is waiting for them here!

So, on this day, Duke of Wei Xu Qian, who knew nothing about everything, was surrounded by eyes from all directions as soon as he entered the court.

Before he could react, the impeachment of the ministers had already drowned the entire court.

Duke of Wei Xu Qian: ???

"I want to impeach Duke of Wei for not educating his son properly, and for allowing his son to slander court officials and ministers at will..."

Although he was besieged inexplicably and had no idea what was going on, when he heard the four words "not educating his son properly", Xu Qian's DNA was immediately moved, and his anger tank was filled up all of a sudden.

He looked around with disdain, glaring, and posing a posture of fighting against the heroes: "--My son is a gifted, intelligent, gentle and kind person praised by Your Majesty. You gentlemen said that I did not educate my son properly. Is this a dissatisfaction with Your Majesty?"
