Even though she had confidence in Xie Jing Xing, Shen Miao did not think that the Lu family had the ability to contend against the Xie family. What Shen Miao was worried about was another matter. Although the Lu family was arrogant, they were only targeting the imperial family. In the eyes of the common people, the Lu family was just like the Xie family in the past. Even though it was a rebellion, the Lu family had their mouths. The first thing they said was that the imperial family had forced them to rebel. They even said that the death of Emperor Xiaowu had something to do with Emperor Yongle. They said that Empress Dowager Jingxian was a relative who monopolized power and conspired with Emperor Yongle and his mother to kill Emperor Xiaowu and the other princes.
The world was in an uproar!
It was true that when Emperor Xiaowu passed away, Empress Xiao dealt with the rest of the princes one by one in a thunderous manner. Naturally, she did not leave any evidence behind. But in the eyes of some people, it was strange. The common people were also like this, just that even though they had suspicions, they did not dare to speak it out. Afterwards Empress Dowager Jing Xian passed away and Emperor Yong Le succeeded the throne. Under his rule, Great Liang prospered, so no one mentioned the past again.
However, this did not mean that the people had completely forgotten about this matter.
On the contrary, when the Lu family's words came out, after the commoners of the Great Liang were shocked, they started to hesitate. A small portion of the commoners really believed the Lu family's words, but the majority of the commoners were skeptical. However, if an emperor could not make the people submit to him, it would always be a disaster in the future. Just like Empress Xiao in the past, even though she did it cleanly and efficiently, she also brought trouble to Emperor Yongle.
Even if Emperor Yong Le used thunderous methods to shut the mouths of the commoners and cut off the rumors in the marketplace, there was still a path to walk. Was he going to use such methods to suppress the rumors for the rest of his life?
"The Lu family is really too shameless." Jing Zhe said, "They actually dare to splash dirty water onto the Emperor."
Gu Yu sighed, "Since it is a rebellion, it is either you die or I live. What is the point of pouring a basin of dirty water?" He continued, "The Lu family is really ruthless. They want both sides to suffer, and they want to drag the royal family into this. Even if they win, they might not win the hearts of the people in the future."
Shen Miao frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Bring a pen and paper." She then walked to the table.
Jing Zhe was surprised for a moment before asking, "Furen, want to write a letter back to Ming Qi?"
Shen Miao shook her head, "I need a very big piece of paper, bigger than the notice of the prisoners at the city gates."
Jing Zhe and Gu Yu had seen Shen Miao's writing before, it was when she sent the letter to Ming Qi or when she sent the news to Pei Lang. It was just that at that time Shen Miao was calm and did not see anything wrong with it. But the Shen Miao today looked different. She was solemn, as if she was writing about something important that weighed more than a thousand catties. She was also agitated, reminding one of the older students in the Hanlin Academy who argued with the group of scholars. In the end, he wrote faster and faster. He practically didn't need to think, and he wrote fluently in one go.
Putting down the brush, he picked up the huge piece of white paper with both hands and shook it, as if he wanted to shake it dry.
Jing Zhe and Gu Yu leaned over to take a look and saw that there were black words on that huge piece of white paper. Shen Miao's words were soft and mellow but the words at the top had a hidden sharpness, as if a sharp sword was going to jump out from the paper and pierce into one's heart.
"What … What is this?" The two maids were illiterate but faintly felt that this was a very important thing.
"No one cares about the truth." Shen Miao said, "But the result is very important." She dried the paper again and again until the ink was completely dry before she said to Jing Zhe, "Bring this thing to the bookstore and make three thousand copies. Then let the guards in the residence post it everywhere during the night." Shen Miao said, "Be quick!"
