Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 476: Garbage Man

Rumors spread quickly and widely because they are interesting.

Take pornographic rumors for example. If a woman is loyal, upright, and hardworking, people will praise her, but it is just praise because it has no dissemination value, cannot bring emotional happiness to people, and may even become a part of praising suffering.

Human joys and sorrows are not interlinked, but gossip is definitely interlinked. But if it is still this woman, if someone says that she is a chaste heroine during the day, and changes men every night in different ways, today it is Lao Liu who sells sesame cakes, and tomorrow it is Xiong Wentao, the top scholar, who only cares about quantity but not quality, and on the surface she is unattainable, but in private she is full of all kinds of Qinhuai Eighteen Wonders and Horse Stepping on Flying Swallow without leaving any trace.

Doesn’t that make it more interesting?
The things that the people pay attention to, unless they are related to their own immediate interests, are always the cheap, dirty, vulgar, pornographic, and funny. This is the so-called value in communication studies.

So when the new rumor about Xia Daosheng and His Majesty came out, it quickly dispelled all the rumors in the market.

Because this is reasonable, interesting and romantic. The handsome and majestic king and the rosy-cheeked and white-toothed minister walked hand in hand all the way, one from the crown prince to the prince to the Jingtai Emperor, and the other from a talented scholar to a county magistrate to a loyal minister. There are so many lingering stories hidden here. When those girls heard these things, wouldn't they be moved on the spot?

And for those readers who frequent teahouses and taverns, it would be a shame to not talk about such a good subject matter, as it would be a shame to tell this God-given story.

We create what the people like. The story of the domineering president and his young wife quickly surpassed the story of the emperor and the Night King to top the rumor list.

The whole capital was in an uproar. The emperor was only thirty years old, young and energetic. In addition, although the Tuoba family was a little bit love-minded, their looks were very durable. And Xia Lin was even better. He was one of the best in the literary world and his looks were also quite good. In addition, he was born with fox eyes. Just imagine the picture of a delicate and tender young man with fox eyes. This would be a fascination in any era.

Under this rumor, many things became reasonable. Xia Daosheng controlled the government? No, he was just helping his sweetheart to relieve her worries. Xia Daosheng had his own army? Even more impossible, the emperor was just using Xia Daosheng to confuse his opponents.

The emperor was wise and brave, and Xia Daosheng was his virtuous wife.

After all, most people cannot understand how the affairs of the imperial family operate. They will only use the behavioral logic within their own cognition to replace the imperial family, and think that the logic in their own family is also applicable to the emperor. For example, in their family, the man is the breadwinner and the woman is the homemaker, and the woman is the virtuous wife and helper of the man. Then, under such logic, Xia Lin's behavior is all reasonable.

What queen or not, Empress Ciyi was just having fun, but the real queen made Xia Daosheng look bad.

At this time, people who know the matter will refute, but their voices are always too small, and the content of their rebuttal will violate the common sense of the public. It is like everyone thinks that the emperor will use a golden hoe when farming, and you suddenly say that the emperor does not farm, then they will not be able to understand.

What do you eat if you don't grow crops? So you're farting.

Three days, three days really suppressed all the extremely dangerous rumors that had been spread before, such as that the emperor was not a legitimate successor, that Xia Daosheng had more power than the emperor, and that the emperor killed his own brother.

All of these go to hell, and what's coming to you now is the latest version of the ultimate rumor.

This is what Xia Lin called "the autonomy and growth of rumors." Did it solve the most difficult problem at the moment? It solved it. Now, when everyone gets together to discuss, there is no question of whether the topic is right or wrong, and no one will say anything that will shake the foundation of the country.

But new problems also arise...

"what?"

"what?"

Emperor Jingtai was furious in his study: "Assholes! These are all rumors from those assholes. Go and check it for me."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to check. It was Lord Xia who spread it himself."

"Is he ill?" Emperor Jingtai was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. After a moment of contemplation, his expression suddenly became serious: "This man...you go down first."

After sending his subordinates away, Emperor Jingtai paced back and forth in the study. He was also worried. In fact, Xia Daosheng's behavior pattern was not very normal.

He was a warlord who could compete with Li Yuan at the time. He had an army of hundreds of thousands of people under his command and a developed trade network. Logically speaking, he should not only disobey orders but also be independent like Li Yuan. However, he still came to the capital and was willing to miss the best three years to keep vigil for His Majesty.

Continuing along this line, Emperor Jingtai even traced back the time to the afternoon when he and Xia Daosheng first met.

I was young and green at that time, and Daosheng had rosy lips and white teeth.

"I'm afraid he doesn't like me..."

Emperor Jingtai sat down, sighed, and didn't even know what to do.

At this moment, Jinlian brought afternoon tea over. Seeing Emperor Jingtai sitting there with a worried look on his face, she stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, what is troubling you? If it's convenient, please talk to Jinlian."

"Ugh……"

Emperor Jingtai sighed, then expressed all his worries, and then sighed: "Daosheng and I should only have the relationship of monarch and subject, and that's all we can go further. If he really... is really like that, I'm worried that he will turn love into hate."

“This…” Jinlian was also very surprised: “I…I…”

"You don't need to persuade me. I know the troubles involved." "Why don't you ask Lord Xia?"

"How can you ask such a thing?" Emperor Jingtai stretched out his hand and pinched Jinlian's cheek: "Silly girl, if I ask this, if he says no, then I will have no shame. If he says yes, will I still have my life?"

"Then... Jinlian should ask for His Majesty?"

Emperor Jingtai rolled his eyes and pursed his lips: "Go, go and ask. No wonder he refused when I said I would give you to him... I didn't expect him..."

After saying this, Emperor Jingtai even touched his buttocks and said, "Oh... this is troublesome."

Jinlian said nothing, just smiled foolishly.

"Don't laugh, don't laugh, I'm scared to death."

"Then Jinlian will go to Lord Xia to ask His Majesty."

"Go quickly, but don't hurt his feelings..."

Jinlian stood up and walked outside, but before she had taken two steps, Emperor Jingtai called out to her, "Jinlian, you must persuade him well and tell him that I promised him that we will continue our relationship in the next life."

Jinlian tried hard to hold back her laughter, her face turning red. After a long while, she turned around and saluted Emperor Jingtai: "I understand, Your Majesty."

When Jinlian arrived at where Xia Lin lived, he and Xu Jingzong were sitting by the fish pond in the palace, fishing. They were fishing for the big koi sent by Japan, but neither of them had very good skills and they didn't catch any. They just drank tea and chatted.

"Master Xia, Master Xu."

Jinlian bowed to the two adults. Xu Jingzong was a smart man. He coughed and stood up and said, "Master Xia, I will take my leave today and come to visit you tomorrow."

"You're just a substitute now, and your wife and kids aren't around, so you can stay at my place tonight."

"No, no." Xu Jingzong smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I, Xu, cannot bear the weight of Lord Xia's valuable body."

"You son of a bitch, hey! Good job." Xia Lin gave Xu Jingzong a thumbs up: "You're also teasing me, right?"

"Let's go, Sir Xia, take care of yourself."

Xu Jingzong left, and Jinlian came behind Xia Lin and began to massage his shoulders. Xia Lin shook his head: "Jinlian, let me ask you a question."

"Master Xia, please speak."

"Do you really like me so much?"

Jinlian was shocked by this question, but she said without hesitation: "Yes! Even if Master Xia tells Jinlian to die, Jinlian is willing."

"No, I want you to live well." Xia Lin patted the stool next to him and said, "Only those who truly love you can restrain themselves, so you need to restrain yourself. Sit down."

Jinlian bit her lip, then sat down next to Xia Lin. Xia Lin asked, "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

"Is such that……"

When Jinlian told Xia Lin about Emperor Jingtai's worries, Xia Lin grimaced.

"What the hell? What the hell is he thinking about?"

Xia Lin stood up with the help of crutches: "Enter the palace, enter the palace, I will definitely scold him, this is too disgusting."

"Master Xia~~~" Jinlian smiled and held Xia Lin's hand: "Please be patient, don't you know His Majesty? He is... rather than an emperor, in Jinlian's opinion, he is more like a child who has not grown up. Just explain it to Jinlian and she will tell him."

Xia Lin took a deep breath and sighed, then began to explain to Jinlian why he did this, and what the good and bad consequences would be. In short, he basically said everything he needed to say, mainly to ease the public opinion offensive in Jinling City that was unfavorable to the emperor of this dynasty for some time.

Jinlian listened very carefully and even asked carefully why he did so. Xia Lin was also the type who liked to teach others, so he taught Jinlian whenever she asked him.

"I see. It seems that Your Majesty has misunderstood."

"That's not good." Xia Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "He thought I was thinking about his butt crack?"

My old man is not feeling well, so I will bring some things to see him. I will update a chapter later, maybe after midnight, but it will definitely be updated.
