The influence of world news is absolutely unprecedented.
In order to achieve the effect of the trend of public opinion, Zhang Xiu specially called Chen Lin, who had written the famous crime of crusade against Cao Cao on the eve of Guandu, and asked him to write this important news.
Xudu.
The four city gates were filled with people passing by, carefully looking at the things affixed to the city walls.
I saw a conspicuous headline written in black and white on the newspaper: The current Emperor of Wei, Cao Pi, was originally lost in Kyoto. The leader of Wei's crimes, in order to inherit the throne, his humanity was twisted and his morals were corrupted. He assassinated his brother Cao Zhi, the original candidate for the throne?
As soon as everyone saw this title, they were immediately attracted.
No one can resist the temptation of clickbait.
The Tianxia News special page explains in detail Cao Pi's various crimes, especially the fact that Cao Pi abandoned Kyoto and fled, and killed his brother Cao Zhi to succeed to the throne.
For a time, the whole world knew about Cao Pi's crime.
Especially the literati, they all admired Cao Zhi's literary attainments, but they did not expect that his brother would kill him in order to seize the throne. A large number of literati began to criticize Cao Pi, writing and criticizing him everywhere.
At the city gate, Xun You passed by.
Seeing a group of onlookers at the door looking at something with great interest, he wondered: "Did the emperor have any decree?" After thinking about it, he went forward to take a look. When he saw it, he was so frightened that he squeezed to the front. After reading it in detail, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat. He hurriedly tore off the newspaper and rushed into the palace.
At this time, the palace was filled with joy.
Everyone is preparing for Cao Pi's coronation ceremony, and they all want to show up in the hall to make the new emperor value themselves more.
Needless to say, Cao Pi was so happy that the corners of his mouth were split to the base of his ears. He couldn't bear to take off his dragon robe. He stood in front of the bronze mirror and looked at his figure again and again. Suddenly he saw Xun You hurried in and smiled: "Gongda came just in time, let me see if this dragon robe fits well?"
Xun You's mind was filled with the shocking news of the explosion, so how could he have time to see if his dragon robe fit him perfectly?
He suppressed the fear in his heart and said perfunctorily: "It's very...fit."
Cao Pi was so excited that he didn't see Xun You's embarrassed expression, his voice trembled slightly, and he continued to look at the dragon robe in the bronze mirror.
Xun You said slowly: "Your Majesty, before I entered the palace, I saw a notice posted at the gate of the city. The notice said 'World's Important News'. Please take a look at it."
Only then did Cao Pi realize that something was wrong with Xun You. He turned around and saw Xun You's face was as pale as paper and his body was trembling slightly. He couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat and asked hurriedly: "Gongda! Why are you so panicked!"
Xun You handed over the newspaper in his hand: "Please check it carefully, Your Majesty."
Cao Pi rushed over in two or three steps, glanced at Xun You, grabbed the newspaper and read it. When he saw the title of Bo Ren's eyeball, his whole body trembled and his heart trembled violently. He couldn't stop holding the newspaper. I started to tremble, and I couldn't bear to read it. Unbelievable and uncontrollable anger flared up: "Who is it? Who did it?!"
He said this through gritted teeth, and his whole body was trembling with the effort to squeeze out these words.
Before he finished speaking, Guo Jia and Xun Yu walked in quickly with newspapers in their hands, both looking equally embarrassed.
When the two of them entered the door and saw Xun You inside, and also saw the same newspaper in Cao Pi's hand as they were holding, they felt relieved. The Cao family and his son were difficult to serve, Cao Cao was suspicious, and Cao Pi had a bad temper.
When Cao Pi saw Guo Jia and Xun Yu coming in, he also had newspapers in his hands and shouted: "Where did they come from?"
Guo Jia: "The city gate."
"Who did this?" Cao Pi knew the seriousness of this matter. He could see it, and everyone in the world could see it. His reputation was completely ruined in this newspaper, and he was almost about to declare it. Sociality is bankrupt. "Who is it! So brave! He is so brave!!!"
Xun Yu said: "The most likely thing is...Jingguo did it."
Cao Pi stared at Xun You with a leisurely look: "Gongda! The hidden guard is in your hands, and the Fusi of the North Town of Jingguo is doing these things. Don't you know the least bit about it?"
Zhang Xiu's preliminary work on this matter was very good. Not to mention the hidden guards of Wei State, even Dajing's own Beizhen Fusi did not know about it. When the matter was announced to the whole world, Beizhen Only those in the Zhenfu Division received the exact order.
Xun You naturally had no way of knowing.
Facing Cao Pi's shouting questions, Xun You lowered his head and was speechless.
Cao Pi's eyes turned red and he reprimanded angrily: "Are you hidden guards just living for a living? Such a big thing has spread all over the country and the whole world, but you hidden guards know nothing and nothing!"
Xun Yu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the top priority is to take counterattack measures."
Cao Pi: "How to fight back?"
Xun Yu: "The emperor can first spread the edict to the whole country to let the people of the country know that this is Dajing's conspiracy, and then list Zhang Xiu's crimes and evil deeds and spread them throughout the world."
Cao Pi nodded: "If you have a good strategy, use Wen Ruo's strategy."
Guo Jia reminded: "Your Majesty, the paper is controlled by Jingguo. Not to mention spreading it all over the world, even if it is spread throughout the country, it will consume a huge amount of paper. Such a huge loss of money."
Cao Pi said decisively: "Pass! My reputation cannot be lost. Isn't my reputation worth a few dollars? Xun You! You have to take the main responsibility for this matter. You will be the one to list Zhang Xiu's crimes. You will be the one to spread the word to the world." Do it, and I will allocate the money to you."
"Here!" Xun You responded.
Unfortunately, Cao Wei did not have printing technology and could only copy by hand.
Xun You gathered thousands of writers and worked day and night to write notices about Zhang Xiu's crimes. A steady stream of paper was transported from Jingguo to Wei. Of course, the price of Yueying paper began to skyrocket.
Cao Wei's counterattack came too slowly.
Zhang Jing has already gained the upper hand in public opinion.
This is equivalent to two people facing each other on the street. One is articulate and spits curses; the other is a stammer, stumbling and unable to speak a sentence. The result is that everyone can only hear one person's side of the story.
But Cao Zhi's death was real.
Literati all over the world also joined in this smokeless battle one after another. More and more people complained about Cao Zhi and avenged him. Zhang Xiu stood on the moral high ground and used his advantage to scold Cao Pi.
Cao Pi's counterattack had little effect.
But he had to fight back. If he didn't fight back, he would have a sense of failure and panic that he had confessed his guilt and was unable to refute. Huge manpower, material resources, and financial resources have been invested in this battle.
The public opinion war between the two sides began to intensify.
