The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 687 Force the court to make a choice
The Shengtang Group is cleaning up all the rivers in the group.

This is a very onerous matter.

At the same time, Li Yin also took the opportunity to renovate it.

Especially in some places where the river course is not very stable.

In particular, there is a river channel that has been in disrepair for a long time in the East City, which is drawn from the Chan River. If it really rains heavily, the river channel will backfill, which is also a very bad thing for the Shengtang Group.The same problem applies to the people along the river.

Therefore, Li Yin will also clean up there.

Those people who don't know the truth think that Li Min is doing a good deed by cleaning up the river, and he is doing it for the people's livelihood.

Unexpectedly, he was preparing for the rainstorm.

Before the rainstorm came, Li Yin also asked people to publish newspapers, giving priority to distribution in Chang'an and nearby counties.

He dispatched a lot of manpower to distribute and let as many people know as possible.

The news spread quickly, and in the afternoon, the common people also joined in the cleanup.

At least the reason for the cleaning, he said very clearly in the newspaper, is to make the water flow more smoothly, so that it will not be blocked and cause floods.

However, some important rivers are in the hands of the court.

If they didn't nod their heads, no one would dare to clean it up.

Once it is cleared, it will definitely be judged as vandalism.That is sinful and must be punished.

No one dares to do it.

Therefore, the common people had no choice but to follow the dozens of points of attention listed in the newspaper. Some low-lying places were blocked with sandbags to prevent the rainstorm from pouring water into their homes and causing some losses.

You must know that most people use wooden tables and chairs in their homes. Once soaked in water, the service life will be shortened.

The so-called rainstorm is ruthless, but there is love in the world.

Sheng Tang Group will not let anyone go.

The more it is at this time, the more the people hope that the imperial court can stand up.

Stand up and take their responsibility.

Things are moving a little fast.

There is a feeling that the Tang Dynasty Group is helping the people, but the people are forcing the court to work together.

The imperial court also has its own ideas, how can Sheng Tang Group say what it says?

Moreover, there are still some discordant voices in this dynasty.

In Daming Palace.

Li Shimin received the news, but he looked unhappy.

At the same time, in his imperial study room, there were two people standing, namely Fang Xuanling and Xiao Yu.

The two of them are quite appreciated by Li Shimin, so there is something important to tell them to come here today.

But at this moment, Li Shimin received information about the folks.

A eunuch reported:

"What did you say? There are rumors among the people that there will be a heavy rain, but the court does nothing? Does it not repair and clean up the river? What is there to repair in this river? What is there to clean up? Do I have to do whatever that kid does? ?”

Li Shimin smiled wryly.

Yes, in the recent period of time, basically whatever the Shengtang Group does, the imperial court will follow.

It's embarrassing.

But it seems that Li Yin's method is the best.

So, no one said anything in particular.

"Yes, Your Majesty, there is a lot of rumors among the people that there will be a heavy rain tomorrow, and the Zhenguan Daily has also temporarily published a newspaper, which makes it very clear."

"Where is the newspaper, let me have a look!"

Li Shimin said.

The eunuch presented the newspaper.

At the same time, Xiao Yu and Fang Xuanling approached, trying to read the contents of the newspaper.

Because this newspaper has just come out not long ago.

This newspaper, which has not been published for a long time, can make the people of the whole city devote themselves to cleaning it up.

And let more and more people join it.

On the other hand, the Shengtang Group's appeal lies above the imperial court.

The imperial court is still too bloated.

When an order comes down, it needs to go through many levels before it can be issued.

But the Shengtang Group is different. A newspaper can allow the common people to participate in it.

Let the people feel like they are facing an enemy.

But this is also what most people have listened to Sheng Tang Group.

There are still some people who don't care.

They thought that the Shengtang Group was disturbing others.

Therefore, this part of the people still has to be summoned by the court and let them respond.

Li Shimin looked at the newspaper, and the displeasure on his face became very obvious.

"You son of a bitch, how can you tell that there will be a heavy rain? I think the day is fine, why is there rain?"

Xiao Yu said: "Your Majesty, can you let me see it too!?"

"Take it!"

Li Shimin gave the newspaper to Xiao Yu, and Fang Xuanling also walked over to read it.

After a while.

They're done.

Xiao Yu said: "Your Majesty, what the six princes have done is disgraceful! This is forcing the imperial court to do what they want. At best, the Shengtang Group can only be regarded as a small part of Chang'an. They did this A little offside!"

This is Xiao Yu's opinion.

But Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, I think that the Sixth Prince has a basis for everything he does. He must have seen something before doing these things. If there is a heavy rain, we should make preparations in advance. Isn't that true?" Better? It can also reduce some losses, why not do it?"

But Xiao Yu said: "Duke Wei, this remark is wrong. First of all, if the court does this, what face will it have? Secondly, if the court follows this kind of unfounded prophecy, then it is equivalent to being led by the nose, so what will the court do?" Use? What is the role of the Son of Heaven? In the end, if there is no heavy rain, then the most scolded person is probably the imperial court!"

But Fang Xuanling said: "Xiao Yu, what you said is wrong. Don't be afraid of [-], just in case, and we can also use other names to clean up the river, right? The voice of the people The imperial court just needs to listen, so that it can show that His Majesty loves the people like a son!
And for such a big matter, if you really don't do something, then the court really won't do anything. "

What a man who loves the people like a son, like a son like Li Yin?

"Love the people like a son, that means governing Chang'an and the Tang Dynasty well, instead of being ordered to do things that the court doesn't want to do. Do you know how much money will be spent on cleaning up this time? It's money. It's a huge amount! The imperial court has no budget for this event!"

"But what if the torrential rain really came, causing floods and destroying Chang'an? Who will be responsible for this? Who will be responsible for this kind of loss?"

"That's just what you think, I let people watch the sky, and there won't be any rain in the next few days!"

Xiao Yu insisted on his opinion, and Fang Xuanling refused to budge even an inch.

That's all for now.

Li Shimin probably had his own judgment.

"Okay, don't talk about it, two lovers, what you say is reasonable. But I have my own opinion."

The two fell silent.

They wanted to hear what Li Shimin had to say.
