Chapter 474 The Voice of the People

yes!

Now, nothing is more important to pick Li Chengqian out of this troubled nest.

Li Shimin made a decision in his heart. Before he could speak, he saw the eunuch come in and report: "I will report to Your Majesty, Duke Wei is asking for a visit outside."

Li Jing and Changsun Wuji were neither in the center, but Li Jing was no more than Changsun Wuji in Li Shimin's heart. Changsun Wuji dared to go directly to the hall with the officials of the six ministries, but Li Jing wanted to wait for the eunuchs under the city tower to communicate.

Li Shimin was puzzled by Li Jing’s intention, but directly ordered on his face: “Please enter the palace with Duke Wei.”

Soon, Li Jing, whose hair and beard were white, walked in with big sleeves, and Ma Zhou and Wang Qun were also coming in with him.

"My minister Li Jing (Ma Zhou, Wang Qun) meets His Majesty."

"Several family members are fair."

Li Shimin watched Li Jing get up and walk to Changsun Wuji to stop, turned to Ma Zhou and asked, "Ma Qing, what are they saying?"

Ma Zhou bowed and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, several officials from the Fanyang Lu family asked the court to posthumously conferred the ancestors of the Fanyang Lu family, beheaded Xu Jingzong to apologize, and summon His Highness to Chang'an."

"snort!"

Although he was mentally prepared, Li Shimin couldn't help but snorted angrily when he was coerced.

Changsun Wuji was about to persuade Li Shimin to compromise, but Li Jing said leisurely: "Are these requirements too much?"

When the ministers in the palace heard this, they couldn't help but look at Li Jing.

Li Jing seemed to have not realized it, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, the Lu family in Fanyang has been in Youyan for hundreds of years. All dynasties have had unworthy descendants who harmed the people and have obvious evil deeds.

In the past, the people of Fanyang could only swallow their anger because of the Lu family's power. Today, when the government is in a clear and clear manner, the people have grievances and revenge, and it is not an exaggeration to dig their ancestral graves in anger——”

"Duke of Wei! How dare you turn black and white so much?"

Before Li Jing finished speaking, Cui Dunli couldn't stand it and couldn't help but stand up and refute.

Li Jing heard the sound and just looked back at Cui Dunli, then continued: "Your Majesty, this matter is definitely not a matter of old ministers who are distorting black and white.

The sins committed by the Lu family in Fanyang were not only angry, but even the people of Chang'an City were eager to eat their flesh and sleep with their skin when they heard about it!"

Li Shimin secretly thought about the reason why Li Jing said these words. Changsun Wuji looked at Li Jing and asked, "How could the people of Chang'an City know about the crimes committed by the Lu family in Fanyang?"

Li Jing smiled after hearing this, "I don't know anything about Changsun Guogong. His Highness ordered someone to compile a "Record of the Crimes of the Lu Family of the Years of Fanyang". This book has now filled Chang'an City."

"Duke Wei Guo would not want to say that the people in Chang'an City can understand the "Records of the Crimes of the Lu Family of the Chronicles of Fanyang"?" Changsun Wuji felt much more relieved when he heard this.

He knew that the officials and students in Chang'an City had an indifferent attitude towards the "Records of the Crimes of the Lu Family of the Chronicles of Fanyang" and would not affect anything.

Li Shimin sighed inwardly: "The Record of the Crimes of the Lu Family of the Chronicles of Fanyang" has been released in Chang'an City for almost ten days, but it has not caused any trouble.

Li Jing was unmoved and said calmly: "It is natural that everyone in Chang'an City cannot understand this book "The Record of the Crimes of the Lu Family in Fanyang", but the East Palace's salarymen can tell the stories in the book to the people of Chang'an and sing them to the people of Chang'an, and the people of Chang'an will naturally know."

"Is there such a thing?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin found that Li Chengqian seemed to be prepared for this matter, so he followed Li Jing's words and asked.

Li Jing slowly explained: "Your Majesty, you know. His Highness the Crown Prince has always used the East Palace to serve as a salary to educate the people. After Xu Jingzong found out the crimes of the Lu family in Fanyang in Youzhou, His Highness the Crown Prince ordered people to compile as a performance to perform in Hebei Road and Chang'an for the people to see.

After seeing this, people from all over the world hated the crimes of the Lu family in Fanyang, and asked everyone to sit together during the spring plowing period."

"I don't know so much about Chang'an City." Li Shimin said with a faint look.

What is the discussion between spring plowing?

Li Shimin didn't believe any of these words. It must have been arranged in advance by Li Chengqian. Li Shimin was not disgusted with Li Chengqian's actions, but was just a little disappointed.

Li Jing heard the dissatisfaction in Li Shimin's words and sighed and explained: "Princess Changle has passed away, and the Crown Prince cannot bear to disturb Your Majesty with earthly affairs!"

Li Shimin nodded after hearing this, and was in a better mood and asked, "What are the people talking about?"

"Go back to your Majesty, today's conference on the crimes of the Lu family in the Fanyang generations was held at the Royal Military and Political Academy. Your Majesty might as well go and listen." Li Jing bowed and invited Li Shimin.

"Why do you have to hold a meeting at the Royal Military and Political Academy?" Changsun Wuji felt bad.

Li Jing glanced at Changsun Wuji and ignored him.

Turning to Li Shimin, he explained: "When His Highness ordered his old minister to preside over the Royal Military and Political Academy, he told the old minister: The students who went out of the Royal Military and Political Academy should lead troops to govern the people. Whether they lead troops or govern the people, they should know how to respect the people. They should not only read the scriptures and understand the civil affairs more.

This time, when His Highness the Crown Prince ordered someone to send the "Records of the Crimes of the Lu Family of the Chronicles" to the Royal Military and Political Academy, he sent an edict saying: This is all about the life and death of the people, and those who read this book must be careful.

The students of the Military and Political College, together with the East Palace, were ordered to preach this matter to the people, so that the students could understand the people's hearts and opinions."

When Li Jing talked about this, all the smart people in the hall understood that Li Chengqian ordered people to promote the "Records of the Crimes of the Lu Family of the Chronicles of Fanyang" among the people of Chang'an. Now he convened people to hold the so-called "speaking meeting" to offset the resistance of the gentry.

Cui Dunli's heart was filled with anger, and he looked at Li Jing and asked loudly: "Duke Wei Guo, you and the students of the Military and Political Academy have no objection to Xu Jingzong's dig of the ancestral tomb of the Lu family in Fanyang?"

Li Jing glanced at Cui Dunli and said sarcastically: "Christo Cui is young and strong, and he is full of energy in his words, but he is not as old as possible. I just don't know if Cui Shangshu can still be so righteous after reading the people in the Military and Political Academy."

As soon as Li Jing finished speaking, Li Shimin and some ministers in the hall looked at Cui Dunli with a little cold look.

During the Li Yuan period, Li Jing led his troops to pacify the south of the Tang Dynasty, and during the Li Shimin period, he led his troops to destroy the Turks in the north, and returned to the court to serve as prime minister. Although he only cared about the Royal Military and Political Academy, his current court sessions are only under the prince, and Changsun Wuji must be behind.

Why do you, Cui Dunli, talk to him in this tone?

Cui Dunli also realized that he was rude and hurriedly bowed to Li Jing to accompany him. Li Jing just waved his hand and said that he had passed.

At this time, Li Shimin also wanted to hear what the people thought about these things, so he issued an order: "People come to the Royal Military and Political Academy."

"Abide by the order!"

The eunuchs in the hall rushed to prepare for the imperial carriage.

Li Shimin said to the ministers in the hall: "I want to hear what the people think of these things. You ministers should always listen to what the people say, and pass an order to order civil and military officials above the sixth rank in Chang'an City to the Royal Military and Political Academy."

"Abide by the order!" An eunuch went out to pass the order.

Li Shimin pointed to the children of the gentry who were blocking the palace below the city tower and said, "The people below also went to the Royal Military and Political Academy to listen to what the people said."

When the eunuch prepared the imperial carriage, Li Shimin led his ministers to the Royal Military and Political Academy in a mighty manner.

It was late spring when the peach blossoms of the Royal Military and Political College were already in late spring, and the tender green peach leaves were only a small point, and they could not completely cover the bright spring scenery.

Tens of thousands of people gathered under the peach tree, divided into hundreds of people, one small circle after another, and were discussing the crimes of the Lu family in Fanyang.

"Because spring farming is busy, the people in Chang'an City cannot participate. Every house in Chang'an City sends dozens of people, and only more than ten people come to each village around Chang'an.

More than 10,000 people participated in this."

Li Jing introduced to Li Shimin as he walked.

Li Shimin led six or seven hundred officials to walk into Taoyuan at the Royal Military and Political Academy, and silently listened to the people in Taoyuan.

It was said that it was just a matter of talking about the people, but they were cursing the Lu family of Fanyang. Li Shimin and all officials heard a man swearing in a Guanzhong accent: "The people in Fanyang Lusi in Nima are all a group of animals. His Royal Highness should sharpen the knife. They washed their necks and cut them one by one."

"Just die, just die. I heard that their local people ran to the palace to make a fuss because their ancestral tomb was dug. His Majesty should cut them into pieces..."
