I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 601 Imperial Power
A quarter of an hour later.

After chatting with Zhou Cheng for a while, Wei Changtian came out of the latter's residence with a small purse in his arms.

Comrade Xiao Xu pressed twenty taels at that time, plus the compensation, a total of thirty taels.

It's just thirty taels of silver, but Xu Qingwan has been talking about it for a long time, and she doesn't know whether to say that she manages the house well, or whether she cares about every penny.
"Okay, let's go back." Get into the carriage, Wei Changtian ordered casually.

Wang Er, who was driving, was taken aback, and reminded in a low voice:
"My lord, the people from the same boat meeting are still waiting in Huaihua Lane."

"Oh yes, I almost forgot about this."

Wei Changtian glanced at the sky outside the car, and yawned lazily.

"Heh~ let's go then."

"I'm here, I want to see you anyway."

From dusk to nightfall, Wei Changtian didn't stay at the fellow boat club for too long.

After all, an organization like the Tongzhou Society is very complicated, but simple is also very simple.

Although the members are all big names and surnames in Daning today, they have all served the Puppet Pill, so they will never betray Wei Changtian.

Of course, some people may feel betrayal.

However, this kind of thinking cannot be transformed into "actual action".

Because before they make any specific "betrayal", the poison of the puppet pill will break out and take their lives in just a few breaths.

It is undoubtedly easy to manage such an organization that will never betray.

So Wei Changtian didn't publish any long speeches, nor did he say words that win people's hearts.

He only said one thing -

Right now, although Ning Wenjun is willing to surrender to the Wei family on the surface, he must be secretly accumulating strength in private.

In this way, the capital city in the future may not be so peaceful, and people like them may also be in danger.

And if someone in the same boat meeting is not willing to take this risk again, he can directly raise it, and Wei Changtian will allow him to take up a post in Dashu
Leave Daning and go to Dashu to be an official.

There are advantages and disadvantages to such a choice, originally Wei Changtian thought that many people would want to go to Dashu.

But in the end, no one made this request.

In this way, Wei Changtian's first appearance in the same boat meeting ended so quickly.

"."

"Uncle Li, why don't you want to go to Dashu?"

On the way back, Wei Changtian and Li Kan who were on the way were in the same carriage.

Because of Li Yang's relationship, Wei Changtian did not call Li Kan "Master Li", but used a more affectionate title.

The latter also seemed to be quite useful, with a smile on his face all the time.

"Young master Wei, you want to ask why everyone is unwilling to go to Shuzhou."

"Yes."

Wei Changtian did not deny it, nodded and said, "Not to mention whether Ning Wenjun will cause trouble in the future, even if it is due to the upcoming war, Dashu is much safer than Daning."

"Besides, Dashu has also established a dynasty now. After you go, your official positions will definitely not be smaller than they are now."

"Isn't this a good thing? Why is everyone unwilling?"

"This matter."

Li Kan looked at the night view of the capital outside the car curtain, and sighed softly.

"Oh, son, I know that you are doing it for the good of us old people."

"We also understand that Dashu is far more stable than Daning."

"It's just that everyone doesn't want their children and grandchildren to bear a bad name because of themselves."

"infamy?"

Wei Changtian was taken aback: "What infamy?"

"Naturally, it is an infamy for treason."

Li Kan looked at Wei Changtian and explained softly:
"Mr. Wei, how the Great Shu came to be known to everyone in the world."

"Ning Wenjun was the prince before, no matter how hastily he came to the throne, no one can fault him."

"But Ning Yuke is different."

"Although her surname is Ning, she is only the daughter of the prince."

"Such a woman has now become the empress of a country and established a new dynasty on her own. Although people in the world dare not say it, they all feel that her words are not right and her name is not right."

"To put it bluntly, most of the people in Daning now think that Daning and Dashu should still belong to one family, but they are just temporarily divided into two."

"Of the two countries, the orthodox one is naturally Daning, and the orthodox emperor is naturally Ning Wenjun."

"In this way, if those of us go to Dashu, what will be discussed among the people. You should understand."

"."

The night is getting darker, there are not many pedestrians on the street, and most of the businesses on both sides have closed their doors.

After Li Kan finished speaking, Wei Changtian nodded and was speechless for a long time.

For these court officials who value their reputation more than anything else, it is indeed impossible to be willing to be called a "traitor" by the people pointing their spines at them.

Wei Changtian can completely understand this matter.

Therefore, the reason why he was silent was that he did not expect the people of Da Ning to have such an attitude towards Da Shu and Ning Yuke.

Or not just the people of Daning.

I am afraid that apart from Shuzhou, the people of the other thirteen states under the rule of Dashu probably have the same idea.

As Li Kan said.

People all over the world still feel in their hearts that whether it is Da Ning or Da Shu, they all belong to the Ning family.

The Wei family and Ning Yuke are just "rebels" who succeeded in rebellion
The concept of the royal family is deeply ingrained, no wonder there was a "take the emperor to order the princes" in the previous life.

Faced with such a concept that "the country depends on imperial power", Wei Changtian, as a modern person, naturally feels backward.

But he also knows that it is difficult to change this universal value.

Learn from Chen Sheng and Wu Guang?Vigorously promote speeches such as "Princes, princes and generals have a kindness"?
Pull it down, when the time comes, there will be a bunch of uprisings in various places because of this, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

Oh, trouble.
Sighing in the bottom of his heart, Wei Changtian felt the difficulty of "governing the country" for the first time.

He was a social animal before crossing, so of course he couldn't have any experience in governing the country before.

And those online articles that I have read are also very simple. Basically, the protagonist grabs a piece of land, and then the people accept the protagonist as their new emperor without any obstacles.

But the facts have proved that this is not the case at all.

Even if the policy of Dashu towards the common people is good enough, even Wei Changtian gave an impassioned speech on the theme of "the people are more important than the emperor" on New Year's Eve.

But even so, the status of royal blood in the hearts of the people is still unshakable.

If you want to change, maybe you can only rely on time, huh?
Suddenly, Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes and thought of one thing.

Although Ning Yuke's blood is not so "pure", her surname is Ning anyway.

But what about Xu Suisui? ? ?
She is a superficially capable person and actually a traveler. With Qin Zhengqiu's strength and Li Qi's prestige, she established Xinfeng, and then proclaimed herself an empress.
How could the common people agree with this Nima Dafeng? ? ?

If she kept controlling Li Qi, or simply used Li Qi as a puppet to support him on stage, Wei Changtian might understand.

But now Li Qi is about to restore Dafeng in Jianchang Mansion, how will Xu Suisui win the hearts of the people under such circumstances? ?
to be honest.

Since the people of "Yuan Daning" don't recognize Ning Yuke, why do the people of "Yuan Dafeng" recognize Xu Suisui as emperor?

Yup
Why is she?
