God-level prince of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 325 Rumors Abound (Fourth Change)

Regarding the solar eclipse, Li Chengqian showed an indifferent attitude. This kind of solar eclipse would last no more than 10 minutes at most. He made tea and drank tea as usual, which made Wei Zheng and Xue Rengui extremely nervous.

Li Chengqian, on the other hand, let someone light a candle carelessly, he didn't take it to heart, but he was very leisurely.

After a while, the eclipse gradually disappeared.

Li Chengqian didn't want to explain. If he explained it, everyone would not be surprised.

But Wei Zheng said: "His Royal Highness, this is probably a bad omen!"

"Don't be superstitious, this is a natural phenomenon, nothing more normal!"

Li Chengqian said.

"His Royal Highness!"

"According to records, there are countless dynasties that have experienced solar eclipses, but how miserable are they?"

After being said by Li Chengqian, Wei Zheng didn't say anything else.

In his opinion, Li Chengqian's heart is so big that he behaved so indifferently.

Although he acted indifferent, someone made a big fuss about it.

Regarding the solar eclipse, rumors began to spread from Chang'an City, and the rumors became more and more ugly.

That afternoon, Li Shimin summoned a large number of meritorious officials into the Tai Chi Palace.

Among them were Changsun Wuji and Hou Junji, and of course Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and Li Chengqian were also indispensable.

Everyone waited to salute Li Shimin.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin's complexion was not very good.

"no!"

Fang Xuanling first asked: "I don't know why Your Majesty asked me to come here?"

But Li Chengqian stared at these four or five people.

Others are also puzzled.

Instead, Empress Changsun said: "As for the Tiangou eclipse at noon, people talked a lot, all of which were unfavorable to His Majesty, which made His Majesty very angry!"

Du Ruhui asked: "What kind of speech?"

"Let me tell you!"

Empress Changsun didn't dare to say, so she said so.

Li Shimin's face was tense, feeling very unhappy.

"The main things are a few things. First, it is said that the position of the emperor is not right. God expressed anger! He sent a dog to eat the sun. Second, he said that the crown prince's reform offended the sky, so he sent a dog to cover the sun as a punishment. The third point is that the dynasty was in chaos, people's livelihood was cut off, people's hearts were lost, and God punished..."

The more Li Shimin said, the more angry he became, especially the first point, his weakness was there. Ever since the change of Xuanwumen, he had been brooding about it.

Now that someone mentions it again, it doesn't feel good to say anything.

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, such rumors must be refuted immediately, and those who spread rumors must be arrested."

Du Ruhui was even more ruthless, he said: "Yes, Your Majesty, if you find out who started it, you will directly punish the nine clans!"

But Changsun Wuji and Hou Junji didn't say a word.

Li Chengqian said deliberately: "Qi Guogong and Hou Shangshu are unwell today? Why don't you say a word?"

It was time to stand in line, and they didn't even say a word.

This is so illogical.

Changsun Wuji quickly said: "Your Majesty, I request a thorough investigation into this matter! Let me investigate!"

Hou Junji also said: "Yes, Duke Qi's ability to investigate cases is not weak, let him find out, there will be results."

Li Chengqian asked back: "How do you check? Where do you check?"

This question made the two unable to come back for the time being.

"I don't have a clue, and I still want to take the lead, I'm overestimating myself!"

Changsun Wuji said sourly:

"It seems that His Royal Highness has a way?"

"The method is thought up by people, but this king can judge which people are most likely to be the initiators of this rumor."

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin's brows became relaxed.

He asked: "Which people! Tell me!"

"Your Majesty, let me tell you who is most likely to spread rumors and how to solve the problem."

Li Chengqian was very thoughtful in doing things, and even figured out the solution to the problem.

"His Royal Highness, I also want to know!"

Fang Xuanling said.

"Tell me! I'm listening."

"This rumor is mainly divided into two points. The first one is about His Majesty's pain point, which shows that this person is somewhat hostile to the court and is familiar with this matter. Ordinary people don't know about it, let alone a distant place. Therefore, This person's location is in Chang'an, and it's near the imperial city!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Chengqian looked at Changsun Wuji and the two deliberately, making them flustered.

But Changsun Wuji said: "His Royal Highness, what do you think we are doing?"

"You didn't look at me, how do you know that I look at you? Are you guilty?"

Hou Junji laughed, and said, "His Royal Highness really knows how to joke!"

Instantly resolved the crisis.

Li Shimin then asked: "What about the second one?"

"Second, when it comes to Erchen, it means that Erchen's reforms have made them very uncomfortable. Then, for everything that Erchen has done recently, what they are facing is five surnames and seven expectations. They are the most disliked by Erchen , so they will be listed as the primary suspects."

Li Chengqian spoke clearly and logically, and his analysis was very thorough.

As for the third point, needless to say, that is the result of the first two points.

"Although I say so, there is no evidence to prove it!"

Li Shimin said, now everything pays attention to evidence, if you don't have evidence, you can't catch people, and people won't admit it.

"Your Majesty, how about leaving this matter to my son-in-law with full authority?"

"Okay! This matter will be handled by Gao Ming with full authority. No one in the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty is allowed to stand in the way of the prince, otherwise he will be killed!"

Li Shimin's words were very hostile, it can be seen that this time, he was really angry.

Regarding things like solar eclipses, which have existed for thousands of years, he couldn't figure out why they were being feigned.

Du Ruhui said:
"But if this person is caught too late, it will be of no use to the rumors!"

After all, some people already believe it. It is easy to spread rumors but difficult to refute them. This is always the case.

"So, this king has a way to reverse the direction of the whole rumor!"

"Oh? Let's hear it!"

Li Shimin's expression became slightly better.

"Yes! The so-called end of the night is the day, and the eclipse of the dog is only a moment. This is a huge test given to us by God. When the clouds and mists are cleared to see the real sun, there will always be a rainbow after the rain! People instill this kind of thinking, and it’s all right. The so-called retaliate against the other party in the same way!”

When Li Chengqian said this, Li Shimin patted his thigh and said, "Good! Very good! Good good!"

In fact, the occurrence of a thing depends on what kind of attributes you give it. If you look at a good place, it is also bright.

When Li Chengqian said this, he saw that the expressions of Changsun Wuji and Hou Junji were not quite right. Li Chengqian could basically conclude that these two people must be inseparable, but there is no evidence now, but it doesn't matter, he has plenty of ways to deal with them .

Then next, these two guys may have a hard time!
