Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

Yin Hongzhi saw the servant's urgency and waved his hand. He was in a good mood today, otherwise he would have to punish the servant heavily.

"Okay, what's wrong, let me hear it."

Yin Hongzhi said nonchalantly, after all, he has now caused Li Shimin and the entire Li royal family to be deeply involved in scandal, and their Sui Dynasty's remaining party has also cut off the relationship with Li Ke, what can happen?

"Master, the trend of the people has changed! Now everyone praises His Majesty, and no one talks about scandals anymore!"

The servant did not dare to look at Yin Hongzhi, so he lowered his head and whispered, "Nowadays, many scholars in the world, and not a few ordinary people, all went to Chang'an to say thank you to Your Majesty!"

"There are still many rogues in the market who have all joined the army for some reason! And now whoever dares to say that the royal family is not, will definitely be broken by someone!"

"What?!" Yin Hongzhi was shocked, grabbed the servant's collar, and asked in horror, "What did you say!"

The servant hurriedly knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing: "No one is talking about the scandal of the royal family anymore, and everyone is praising Your Majesty!"

"No...impossible! How could this be? How could this be?"

Yin Hongzhi couldn't understand a little. Before the public grievances were all over the place, why did they suddenly calm down the public grievances now?And the people are still praising Li Shimin? !

"Pass my orders to those who spread rumors, and continue to send people to step up the spread of the scandal of the royal family! If there is no way, find a way, how much money you can draw from the treasury!"

Yin Hongzhi said heavily to the servant: "There is only one thing you have to say - if they can't let the people's grievances boil again, then don't want their heads!"

The servant hurriedly took the order and walked out as if flying.

……

"...Wha...how is this possible!"

When the servant brought Yin Hongzhi's words to the leader who spread the rumors, the leader said that there was absolutely no way to do it.

"You don't know what the people are now! If anyone dares to say that one of the Tang Dynasty's royal family is not, first of all, the scholars will quit, and one spit can spray you into a sieve!"

When he said this, there was already helplessness in his tone.

"And now if you dare to spread rumors, maybe you will be recorded in a book and go to the local government office, and soon the government officials will take people and let people survive in the government prison. No, you can't beg for death!"

The servant was suddenly a little helpless, and murmured: "How about that?!"

"Give up! Now the common people in the market are all devoted to the people of Li (King Qian's), and there is nowhere to spread it! And if you meet someone with a big temper, maybe they can catch us and beat us up and send them to the government!"

After a pause, he shook his head and said: "In short, the situation is different now from before. Everyone is thinking of Li Shimin's good, this thing can't be done."

"Why don't you go back and tell Lord Yin, let him stop earlier... If you keep doing it like this, maybe even his old man will have to go in!"

"Impossible." The servant shook his head and said, "According to the temper of our Lord Yin, if you can't do this, he will just destroy your whole family, and then find someone to take your place and continue for him. of spreading rumours.”

"So I advise you to listen to him obediently, otherwise not only will your life not be saved, but your relatives and friends will also be implicated!"

Chapter 966 Li Shimin's Surprise!

The leader who spread the rumors heard the words and could only sigh.

He secretly hated that he was so obsessed with his mind that he would take on such an errand!

Now that he knew that something could not be done, but was forced to do it, he only felt that his head was no longer on his neck.

……

At this moment, the study is full of desolate colors.

Li Shimin locked Fang Xuanling, Li Xiaogong, Wei Zheng, Zhang Liang, and others in the study with him for three days.

In the past few days, Li Shimin was so worried that his hair was a little gray, and the faces of several courtiers were even more tired.Continue to propose various solutions to this matter, and then reject them after discussion, and so on.

Li Shimin didn't believe that Li You could handle such a difficult problem completely. After all, this matter had already affected the entire Tang Dynasty.

There used to be a saying that taxation is as fierce as a tiger, but Li Shimin now thinks that this sentence should be changed - people say it is as fierce as a tiger!

The imperial court might have sent people to arrest all those who dared to spread rumors, and arrested all the common people who talked about these things in 890, but this could not control the hearts of the world!

Moreover, Li Shimin knew that once he did this, it would definitely arouse even greater public resentment, and it would be equivalent to a guilty act of not attacking himself!

Li Shimin had personally experienced how the powerful and prosperous Sui Dynasty declined step by step. It was entirely because of the various atrocities of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Yang that the people of the world could not bear it, so the Eighteen Roads rebelled against the king. Completely destroyed the Sui Dynasty.

Li Shimin also knew that if it weren't for the enthusiasm of the people, the Eighteen-Road Rebellion King would never have the courage to rebel, so now we can't stop the people's mouths, we can only channel them, otherwise there will be endless troubles!

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report!"

At this moment, Zhao Nei Shi hurriedly locked the door of the study.

However, Li Shimin and everyone else's thoughts were already half a beat. After being stunned for a few seconds, he asked, "What's the urgency at this juncture?"

Zhao Nei Shi respectfully reported: "There are countless people outside the imperial city (cbbi), making a lot of noise, I don't know how to deal with it!"

"what?!"

Li Shimin couldn't help but turn pale in shock, his body trembled, and he looked at the ministers in the room.

"It has come to such a point...!"

Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and the others looked at each other, shook their heads, and sighed: "Please atone for my incompetence, Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin shook his head and sighed: "Now that we have really reached this stage, it seems that we can no longer escape and cover up, and I can only come forward and punish myself."

After speaking, Li Shimin took out the guilt edict that had been prepared on the table. This was originally what he planned to use at the last minute to quell public anger, but in the end, he could only use it. This was the means Li Shimin was least willing to use !

The study was not far from the imperial city tower, but Li Shimin felt that the distance was so far, his steps became heavier and heavier, and the hand holding the edict of sin was trembling slightly.
