Chapter 1066: To My Countrymen (3)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Shen Miao was extremely confident in Xie Jingxing and did not think that the Lu family really had the ability to go against the royal family. Shen Miao was worried that there was something else going on. Although the Lu family was rebelling, they were only targeting the royal family after all. In the eyes of the people, the Lu family was just like the Xie family back then, having contributed a lot to the founding of the country. The Lu family even claimed that the royal family forced them to rebel. They said that Emperor Yong Le was involved in the death of Emperor Xiaowu back then, and that Empress Xiao murdered all the other princes just so her son could ascend the throne smoothly.

The world was in an uproar!

It was true that when Emperor Xiaowu passed away, Empress Xiao dealt with the other princes one by one without leaving any evidence. However, the people would inevitably find it suspicious, but they did not dare to voice the suspicion. Later, when Empress Dowager Xiao passed away and Emperor Yong Le succeeded the throne, under his governance, the Daliang Dynasty prospered, so everyone gradually forgot about the past.

After being shocked by the Lu family’s words, the people of the Daliang Dynasty began to waver. A small portion of the people really believed the Lu family’s words, but most of the people remained suspicious. However, if an emperor could not win the hearts of the people, he was destined to be in for endless trouble.

Even if Emperor Yong Le used extreme methods to shut the mouths of the people, the rumors would still spread in the markets.

“The Lu family is too shameless,” Jingzhe said. “They actually dare to slander the emperor.”

Gu Yu sighed. “They’re already rebelling and are going to die one way or the other. What’s the point of holding back now?” She continued, “The Lu family is really ruthless. They want both sides to suffer a loss and insist on dragging the royal family into it. Even if the royal family wins, they might not win the hearts of the people in the future.”

Shen Miao frowned and thought for a moment before saying, “Get me a pen and paper.” She walked to the table.

Jingzhe was stunned and asked, “Madam, are you going to write a letter to Ming Qi?”

Shen Miao shook her head. “I want a very big piece of paper. It has to be even bigger than the notice of the prisoners at the city gate.”

When she was writing a letter to Ming Qi or to Pei Lang in the past, Shen Miao was calm. However, today, Shen Miao looked different. She was serious, as if she was writing something that weighed more than a ton. She wrote faster and faster, finishing the entire paper almost without stopping.

Upon finishing, she put down the pen and picked up the huge white paper with both hands.

Jingzhe and Gu Yu leaned over to take a look at it at the same time and saw black words densely filling the huge piece of white paper. Shen Miao’s writing was sharp like a sword that was about to jump out of the paper and stab people in the heart.

“What… is this?” The two maids could not read, but they vaguely felt that this was something very important.

“No one cares about the truth.” Shen Miao said, “But everyone cares about the outcome.” She dried the paper. When the ink on it was about to dry, she said to Jingzhe, “Take this and make 3,000 copies of it. Then get the guards in the mansion to post it around the city at night..” Shen Miao said, “Hurry up!”
