Wei Zheng thought about it carefully. The more he thought about it, the more interesting it became. Then he directly praised it: "Truth."
"Because those who have not survived can no longer speak out, naturally they are not known to anyone." Wei Zheng nodded.
"That's what it means. His Highness King Qin is the smartest person I have ever seen in the world, but do you think there is anyone smarter than His Highness King Qin in the world? I think there are, but these people may have grown up because of their childhood. He died young, or died due to various reasons, or disappeared from everyone, and then we didn't know about him. Then we created this illusion."
"As you said, if the proportion of aristocratic families in the top group of people in the future is not low, ordinary people may mistakenly think that the people in these families are all elites. In fact, , Those dandies are just ordinary people who don’t know or understand them at all." Fang Xuanling said.
"What do you want to say? Do you want to make some changes to this matter?" Wei Zheng was a little curious.
"There is nothing to be changed about this. It cannot be changed. This is a common problem among human beings. Some famous people always show a small part to people, or the good part, and most people only know this part. And this kind of cognition will cause them to have a great misunderstanding of this person, and the person they think they know is completely inconsistent with the reality of this person." Fang Xuanling shook his head.
"So, what I want to say is, should we deal with some matters regarding His Highness King Qin secretly?" Fang Xuanling added.
"Didn't you say you have no purpose?" Wei Zheng rolled his eyes.
"Aren't I discussing this with you?" Fang Xuanling smiled.
"What are you referring to?" Wei Zheng thought for a while and asked.
"Don't you know what His Highness the King of Qin is in the minds of the people now? Zheng Guogong, right?" Fang Xuanling looked at him and asked.
"Saint?" Wei Zheng thought for a moment and uttered two words.
"Even worse." Fang Xuanling shook his head, "Saints, reborn parents, gods descending to the earth, and all the mythological and immortal figures that the common people can come into contact with may not be too much for His Highness the King of Qin."
"As far as I know, there are many people who build ancestral halls for His Highness. After the ancestral halls are built, people ask for children, wealth, and peace. I even heard that in Guangzhou, even those who manage the sea ask for help. Your Highness bless you.”
Wei Zheng opened his mouth. After all, he was not responsible for Shangshu Province. It was not like Shangshu Province having so many parts. There was a lot of messy news from all over the world, and Fang Xuanling knew more.
What Fang Xuanling said... Wei Zheng was also a little speechless, this was too outrageous.
"I can understand everything else. Why should I go to His Highness to ask for a son? Shouldn't I go to Zhenren Sun?" Wei Zheng asked speechlessly.
"Haha, is it difficult to understand? Think about the "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook" related to the Imperial Medical Office. Do you know how many newborns this handbook saved throughout the Tang Dynasty? It is no exaggeration to say that if you look at the whole country, According to the general information we have received, from the implementation to now, there are hundreds of thousands or even millions."
"These are newborns. If you include those children who were saved from illness when they were young, the number may be even higher."
"Although the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" is written by Sun Zhenren, don't forget that such a large-scale popularization throughout the Tang Dynasty was promoted by His Highness himself. Without His Highness, Sun Zhenren's medical books would even be able to make human flesh alive. Bones are useless. The people can’t use them. Which one do you think the people will be grateful for?”
"Thinking about it this way, doesn't it make sense to ask for a child?" Fang Xuanling took a sip of tea and chuckled twice.
Wei Zheng: "..."
What you said makes so much sense.
"Well, what do you want to say?" Wei Zheng looked at him speechlessly and asked.
"What I want to say is, do you think if His Highness's truer side is known to the people, will his faith collapse?" Fang Xuanling said with a smile while drinking tea.
"I think they will find a suitable excuse for His Highness, and then continue to trust His Highness." Wei Zheng rolled his eyes. He didn't understand these messy things, but he understood people's hearts.
How can people easily believe things that are contrary to their own knowledge? Without absolute and complete evidence, they will not believe it. Even if the evidence comes out, they will probably have to find an excuse and say that His Highness did it as a last resort.
"That's true, but I'm afraid that someone will cause trouble, so I think we have to take precautions." Fang Xuanling said.
"What do you mean?" Wei Zheng became alert.
"It's very simple. If His Highness does something outrageous in the future, we have to control the people around him, or find a way to prevent the news from spreading." Fang Xuanling said simply.
"In addition, we will discuss privately with Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng and ask them to confer a divine status on His Highness in Taoism."
"No, are you mistaken? His Highness is only twenty-one this year. Aren't these things after death?" Wei Zheng was confused.
"Don't make an honest announcement. If you make an open and honest announcement, His Highness will definitely not agree to it. Just let some Taoist Taoists among the people use suggestive words to build momentum for His Highness." Fang Xuanling said in a low voice.
Wei Zheng: "..."
"What else?" Wei Zheng looked at Fang Xuanling. He felt that Fang Xuanling had something to say.
"Find a few suitable people, the kind who admire His Highness, and join forces secretly. Just pay attention to some rumors about His Highness. Once they appear, find a way to use public opinion to suppress them, or find a way to clarify them." Fang Xuan Ling expressed his thoughts simply.
Wei Zheng: "..."
"His Royal Highness said not to engage in personality worship." Wei Zheng looked at Fang Xuanling speechlessly.
"Are you having a problem? Since when did you start a personality cult? This is faith, it has nothing to do with worship. Besides, this is to prevent scoundrels from taking advantage of His Highness's reputation to find some people to do some appropriate and preventive things. Fang Xuanling looked at Wei Zheng and said.
"I'm not good at this, and I don't have anyone." Wei Zheng shook his head simply, "Besides, let me tell you Fang Xuanling, I can impeach you for your behavior of forming a private association."
Wei Zheng looked at Fang Xuanling with a warning expression.
"Look at you, why have I formed a group? In this way, I asked my son to do this, and His Highness happens to be the object of his admiration. Besides, this is not a bad thing. I am just exercising. With his ability in public opinion, he may be more suitable to work in the Propaganda Department in the future." Fang Xuanling said nonchalantly.
"Besides, Old Wei, you won't tell His Highness what we two said, right? If you don't say it, how can you impeach me?"
