The debate went on like this for several days, and in the end, it basically became a one-sided situation.And people have stopped discussing the issue of hair. Instead, they have used it as an extension to start discussing that those rules are outdated, or that they are not applicable.

After Li Shimin knew this situation, he was even more happy, and with a swipe of a pen, he let people debate whatever they wanted.Until the meeting was announced to be over, people still had something to say.However, the end of the conference did not affect the enthusiasm in people's hearts at all.The general meeting is gone, so we can have a small meeting, right?

So, I don't know where it started.For a long time to come, holding debates turned out to be a craze.Shrewd businessmen also seized the opportunity to hold this debate conference in their own restaurants, brothels and other places, and asked people to sign up for it.As a result, the store became very popular and the business became booming. After deducting the expenses of holding the competition and the expenses of the prizes, etc., once the calculation was made, it turned out to be a bottomless profit.

Merchants are all after profit, and where there is interest, these businessmen will often swarm like sharks smelling blood.In an instant, various debates could be heard everywhere.However, those poetry clubs that people usually love have gradually become depressed.

With the help of this debate conference, many businessmen have made a lot of money.Similarly, the business of Li Feng's cloth shop has become even more prosperous.But this time, the most obvious difference between the people who came and those who came a few days ago was that all of them had short hair.Short hair with a long shirt looks neither fish nor fowl.It's still the so-called Chinese tunic suit, with short hair, it looks full of energy.Besides, this Chinese tunic suit is the same as that short hair, which makes people feel more at ease.

At the end of this debate, there was no telling who would win or lose.However, winning or losing is not important now. Haven’t you seen more and more people on the street with short hair?The benefits of short hair are obvious.Who wants to keep that long hair coiled on his head.

It is worth mentioning that as more and more people cut their hair short, a new profession appeared in Chang'an City, that is, the hairdressing industry.There are many barbershops.And with the emergence of these shaving shops, people's hairstyles have become somewhat diversified.

In anything, there are joys and sorrows for some.The common people no longer need to be restrained and troubled by the long hair this time, of course they are happy in their hearts.However, for those saint disciples, it goes without saying that the aggrieved and angry in their hearts.

Not to mention, he was speechless when he was refuted by a group of untouchables at the debate meeting.Make them aggrieved and ashamed.Let's just say that if this is the case, then what's the face of these disciples of saints.If they can't uphold the dignity of saints, then what are they doing.Most importantly, if things go on like this, their status and interests will be brutally hit.These are not acceptable to them.

Therefore, just after the debate conference ended, Kong Yingda recovered from his illness.He hurriedly ran to the palace.However, when he went, his face was filled with grief and indignation.When he came back, his face was really ashes.Afterwards, the matter was mentioned again several times in the early dynasties, but this time, the emperor's heart became extremely tough, and he ignored the cries of these people, and sometimes, it was even based on the public opinion , reprimanded them vigorously.

The current Li Shimin is using public opinion as a big stick. If anyone wants to stand out, he will definitely be knocked down by the big stick, and his head will be ashamed.Therefore, slowly, no one dared to mention this matter anymore.Everyone seems to have accepted this fact.

In fact, there is nothing you can do if you don’t accept it. I haven’t seen people with short hair everywhere on the street.This is still in the city of Chang'an. If you go to the countryside, the men there will all have short hair, and even more bald heads.No way, who made it more convenient to have a bald head, and shaving the head is also much easier.

The development of the situation really made Li Shimin overjoyed, although he didn't show anything in front of outsiders.However, the heart is full of joy.Although this incident seems to be a trivial matter, it means that he, the emperor, won the battle with the traditional old forces for the first time, and it means that he has opened a breakthrough. This is an inspiring thing.

"Hehe, there really is a fourth brother who actually came up with such a wonderful method for me. From the perspective of this fourth brother, he really deserves to be my lucky star."

Li Shimin sat alone in the Ganlu Hall, but he didn't have the mind to review the memorials, but sat there with a smile on his face, thinking about things.Now, just thinking about what happened in the past few days makes him feel good.In the past, he often felt annoyed because of the restraint of these forces.

As long as he wants to implement a new policy, these people will often oppose it on the grounds that it does not conform to the ancestral system, and as long as those people use such reasons to speak up, the rest of the people will often be silent, and let them The emperor was singing a one-man show, and in the end, he had to compromise, saying that if there is too much anger, there will be more anger.

Thinking of what happened in the past few days, it undoubtedly reminded him of Li Feng, and thinking of what Li Feng did after he appeared, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel even happier.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good, something serious happened..."

However, before he had time to be happy for a long time, there was a sudden anxious voice from outside the palace gate.This made Li Shimin frown for a while, the rare happy mood was interrupted, and no one would feel comfortable.What's more, it's unreasonable to be so yelling and panicking.Not long after, a servant ran into the hall angrily.

"What, say"

However, he also knew that something must have happened, otherwise the other party would not have lost his composure, so he could only suppress the unhappiness in his heart, and said in a deep voice.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty...Well, a large number of students blocked the gate of the palace, they..."

Maybe because he noticed that the emperor's expression was wrong, the servant also realized that he was too reckless, so he hurriedly apologized, but soon, he began to report.He knew the emperor's temperament quite well.Occasionally being impolite, at most it is just a reprimand, but if it delays the business because of it, it is not as simple as a reprimand.

"What... the student blocked the gate of the palace, um...you go on and explain the situation in detail to me."

When Li Shimin heard that the palace gate was blocked, his expression changed immediately, and then he stood up angrily.However, after that, he desperately suppressed the anger in his heart.Let the other party report in detail.

"Yes, Your Majesty, just now a large number of students came here suddenly, and then they knelt quietly in front of the palace gate, saying that they wanted to ask the emperor for orders...to ask His Majesty to order to stop the people from violating the ancestral rituals, and...and..."

Know the situation is serious.The servant dared not hide anything, and quickly organized his words, trying to explain the matter clearly in the simplest words.It has to be said that this servant is quite capable, he explained the whole story clearly in a few words, and then waited for the emperor's order.

"I beg you shit. I think they want to force the palace, want to rebel. Good. Really good, promising. The writing is not good, and I have come to blame. Moreover, they are all Guozijian, Taixue... What a pillar of the country, is this the pillar of my country? Ah..."

After Li Shimin listened to the report, he became furious.In that incomparably angry roar, there was a hint of hatred and disappointment mixed in.This time I came to force the palace.It actually included students from several of the country's highest universities in Chang'an. You must know that these people will all come out to become officials in the future, and he, Li Shimin, will rely on them to help manage the people of the world.But... Thinking of this, how can I not make him feel heartbroken.

Now he even has the urge to arrest and punish all these people, but he is not an impulsive person after all.Thinking about it carefully again, this time, he stabbed the pain of this group of people. If the other party didn't respond at all, it would be a strange thing.

"Those people just knelt quietly, did they have any other abnormal behavior?"

After a while, he calmed down a little, and then asked the servant in a deep voice.

"No, they just kowtowed and petitioned there, and there was no other change. Now, all the guards in the palace have rushed there, but they don't have His Majesty's order, and they don't know how to do it. Now they are just waiting there. so that something unexpected happens"

Seeing Li Shimin swearing, the servant knew that the emperor's anger had reached its peak, so after hearing Li Shimin's question, he replied cautiously.Having served the emperor in the palace for countless years, he understands better than anyone else the truth that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger.If he accidentally touches the emperor's bad luck, he will be the first to be unlucky.

"Well... it's fine if there is no change. If they dare... By the way, just now you said that they are willing, one is to make an order to prevent the people from shaving their hair, and what else?"

Li Shimin felt a little better after hearing that these people hadn't changed anything.If the other party really does something rebellious, don't blame Li Shimin for being cruel.However, in this way, he became embarrassed again. For a while, he really didn't know what to do with these people.

And at this time, he remembered that when the servant reported just now, he mentioned the content of their petition.However, I was on fire at the time, and I interrupted the other party's report after listening to it halfway.Now, calm down a little bit, Li Shimin wants to hear, if the other party can make a written request, then it will be easy to deal with it, right?

"They... They also said that His Majesty should severely punish the culprit of this matter, and set the court order. Otherwise, they would not be able to explain to the people of the world, and they would not be able to convince the public..."

"That's enough, it's shameless. You can't give an explanation to the people of the world. What do you mean by not being able to convince the public? In my opinion, they can't fulfill their own wishes. If they want to kneel, then let them kneel." Well, I want to see how long they can kneel down. Send an order, if they don't do anything else, let the soldiers ignore them. If they dare to make any changes, let the soldiers be polite, as long as they don't Just take your life"

When he heard the other party's second request, Li Shimin was furious even more.Needless to say, their so-called culprit, Li Shimin knew that they were referring to Li Feng.What a joke to punish Li Feng.Not to mention, Li Feng has made great contributions to this matter, even if Li Feng is really guilty, he will be punished if he wants to.

"I obey... Well, by the way, Your Majesty, there is another situation. I heard that a small group of these people have gone to Rou Niang's closet..."

Hearing that the emperor had given the order, the servant finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the emperor gave the order, it would be much easier to handle.But at this time, he suddenly remembered another piece of news, so he added another report.After all, in his opinion, compared to the other party besieging the gate of the palace, the matter reported now is just a trivial matter.

"Damn you, why didn't you report such a serious matter earlier, come here, pull me out..."

Who knew, when he said this, Li Shimin almost jumped up in fright, and then, a burst of anger in his heart poured out on the servant. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
