Chapter 227: King Wei Shines the Sword
Wu Bajin and others, who spread rumors, disappeared, and this matter became no evidence of death, and the crown prince Li Chengqian realized the strong smell of conspiracy.
originally thought it was a rumor naturally triggered by the leak, but it was not until now that Li Chengqian realized that something was wrong.
I can't check it any further, the city is full of wind and rain, people talk like tigers, even if it is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he can't block other people's mouths, this year, the folk atmosphere in the court is surprisingly open, Li Shimin is determined to build a harmonious society in the Tang Dynasty, and try his best to make the people of the Tang Dynasty live happily, and the people will not stop anything, because only in this way is the saint's temperament, and the Tang Dynasty is the prosperous weather, and desperately took active measures to treat smallpox.
The emperor is helpless, what can the prince do to stop the people's mouths?
…………
Taiping Village.
The rumors of Chang'an City seem to have nothing to do with Taiping Village, which is only a few dozen miles away from Chang'an, but it seems to be isolated from the world, the villagers rarely go out of the village, and the people from outside rarely come in.
Li Su's lack of motivation may also be infected by this village, the quiet and peaceful days in the village have been too long, and the disputes over power outside seem to have become ridiculous.
When people who go out and come back here, their mood always changes, similar to the suddenness and transparency of seeing through the red dust, such as Wang Zhi.
There is a group of idlers in Chang'an East City, living a life of hugging and shouting every day, not worrying about eating and drinking and not worrying about their livelihood, and their power is growing stronger and stronger. All know the name of Brother Wang in Dongshi, Wang Zhi has become the number one person in Chang'an East City, although this person has power, it is rare that he never steals or robs, not only that, but he encounters those thieves with unclean hands and feet. Wang Zhi's subordinates can also help Wuhou and Fang officials find out, and strictly restrain their subordinates, absolutely prohibiting extortion and theft in the East Market, and violators will be discarded.
Wang Zhi's measures were naturally not thought up by him, but Li Su behind him seriously told him that the Tang Dynasty has no soil for the development of underworld forces, and the government will never allow an abscess and malignant tumor to corrupt the market atmosphere, especially in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, so Wang Zhi and those subordinates want to gain a foothold in Chang'an East City. The first thing to keep in mind is not to go against the government and the law of the country, not only can not be against it, but also to help take the initiative to maintain the law of the country, and to form a good relationship with the government and the businessmen in the market, as long as you get the respect of others, the place of Dongshi can be kept calmly and for a long time.
Li Su's words are always right, the Wang brothers have always believed in him, and Wang Zhi did what Li Su said. It didn't take long to find out that both the Wuhou Fang officials and the businessmen in the East City came and went. Seeing Wang Zhihou, there was a smile on his face.
Later, Wang Zhi helped Wuhou take a few small thieves who were not long-eyed, and the next day when he was sitting in the wine shop and bragging nonsense with the idlers, Wuhou who was patrolling the street suddenly took the initiative to run over, greeted him with a smile, and used the honorific title of "Shaolangjun" to him, and Wang Zhiyan did not change his color. But I breathed a long sigh in my heart.
It seems that he can already take root in the East Market.
…………
"Wu Bajin and the others were secretly sent out of Chang'an by me, found a caravan of Hu people, and followed the Hu merchants out of the city to Longyou ......" Wang Zhi grinned and said with a smile: "If the prince wants to find the source of the rumors. I'm afraid I'll have to work hard to run to Longyou. ”
Li Su squatted under the locust tree in the courtyard and said lightly: "All the people involved in this matter will be sent out of Chang'an, and you will hide for a while......
Wang Zhi smiled indifferently: "These ten people have always been secretly in contact with me, and those idlers raised by my subordinates don't know that they have anything to do with me, and the prince can't find out about my head." ”
Li Su glanced at him and said, "I don't care if you don't care, I don't care, okay, you live a good life in Dongshi, you must live a long life." ”
Wang Zhi looked at him stupidly, was silent for a long time, his throat moved, swallowed his saliva, and said with a dry smile: "I decided to listen to you, it's better to hide......"
After speaking, Wang Zhi showed a look of admiration, and said: "A few words of gossip and broken mouth forced the prince into a corner, I heard that yesterday even the Shangshu Provincial Servant Wei Zheng was on the side to impeach the prince, and the ten major mistakes made His Majesty very annoyed, and the court meeting broke up unhappily...... This qiē was actually done by me and ten henchmen, Your Majesty! Morning meeting! I'm amazing. ”
Li Su frowned, it turned out that this guy was worshipping himself......
After Wang Zhi finished worshipping himself, he turned his head to look at Li Su, and added very perfunctorily: "You are also very powerful, how did you come up with this trick?" ”
"Since ancient times, public opinion has been a weapon to achieve meritorious deeds, as far as the Qin Dynasty, there was a fish belly Tibetan character, which was written 'Da Chu Xing, Chen Sheng Wang', which attracted the people to spread one after another, so as to gain the hearts of the people, which is called public opinion. Three people become tigers, all mouths are golden, and the people's hearts have always been available, but many people only know how to use it in wartime, in fact, it can also be used in the peaceful years, a rumor spreads, and everyone spreads it by word of mouth, and it spreads to the whole city, at this time, the truth of the matter is not important, a wrong lie has 10,000 people to say in unison, it is the truth, this lie has become a sharp weapon to punish the heart, who dares to doubt it will destroy whom. ”
Wang Zhi was dumbfounded when he heard this, he had never heard of many new words in these words, and he didn't understand them at all, and he hesitated for a long time before revealing a very insincere expression of worship.
"Yes, that's true! You're really amazing......"
Li Su glanced at him and said calmly: "I didn't expect you to understand, so there is no need to say such insincere and disobedient words, you just need to show an expression of awe is enough." ”
Wang Zhi then showed an unaware expression......
"Roger! Okay, then it's none of our business, just send a trustworthy subordinate to the outside of King Wei's mansion to keep an eye on His Royal Highness King Wei's movements. ”
Wang Zhi found that today's Li Su was very profound, and he couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all, so he drooped his face in frustration and said, "King Wei...... What's going on? Why does it have anything to do with him? ”
Li Su showed a mysterious smile and said: "In the position of the prince, there are too many people with red eyes, especially the King of Wei, his eyes are red like rabbit babies, and now Chang'an is full of rumors, all aimed at the prince, the prince has made such a big mistake, how can the ambitious King Wei not take action?" Let's talk about it, and then slap our butts and withdraw, and then King Wei will help us make up the rest of the plot, let's watch the play. ”
Wang Zhi looked at Li Su with a sinister smile on his face, and then showed a more sincere expression of worship.
Li Su was very happy: "Be good, don't blink your eyes, brighten them a little brighter, and have stars ......"
**********************************************************
As Li Su expected, King Wei really made a move.
Li Shimin has never been a good father, while pampering the crown prince Li Chengqian, he also attaches great importance to the king of Wei, no one knows why His Majesty has such contradictory behavior today, it is said that the prince was ordained by him personally, in order to help the prince establish authority, he can't be too fond of other princes, otherwise it will hit the prestige of the prince.
However, Li Shimin attached great importance to the King of Wei, often praised him in front of the courtiers, and rewarded the East and the West every three or five times, and even broke the law and etiquette system for him, allowing Li Tai, the King of Wei, not to go to the fiefdom to serve, but to stay in Chang'an to study knowledge, and the King of Wei's honor guard was added again and again, almost on par with the prince's honor guard.
Having given King Wei so many undeserved favors, how could King Wei not have a little ambition and ideas?
The unstable factors in the Datang Heavenly Family were all caused by Li Shimin's own hands.
Now there is an inexplicable wind and evil atmosphere against the prince of the East Palace in Chang'an City, Li Tai, the king of Wei, is happy to see it in his eyes, Li Su is not wrong, if such a good opportunity does not strike while the iron is hot to add to the blockage of His Royal Highness the Prince, I am really sorry for my ambition.
When the rumors were flying all over Chang'an City, several figures quietly sprang out of the Wei Wangfu on Zhuque Street, jumping into the sea like waves, silently blending into the crowd......
In the next few days, rumors in Chang'an City escalated without warning.
The bad deeds of the crown prince Li Chengqian have been turned over one after another, and the ten times of the prince of Shangshu Province have been spread to everyone, and the rumors of the Feng family's murder case have suddenly reversed the direction and become all behind the scenes manipulation of the prince......
The East Palace was caught off guard again, and the lights of the East Palace and the Wei Palace's Mansion were not extinguished all night, and the staff and subordinates of the two sides stayed awake all night, gathering together to discuss offensive and defensive countermeasures, and both sides were in a state of confusion.
On the grounds of the Feng family's murder, the matter is getting bigger and bigger.
In the past two years, due to Li Shimin's grace, Li Tai, the king of Wei, has grown ambitions, ambitious people have always seized the opportunity to prepare for a qiē to seize the heir, and now there are not a few courtiers under the command of the king of Wei who can be driven by him, this is a good time to overthrow the prince, and some courtiers in the camps of both sides finally can't help but surface.
Following Wei Zheng's sparseness, more than ten imperial historians of the Imperial History Observatory went up again, and after counting the prince's mistakes, the Feng family's murder case has inevitably become an excellent weapon for the imperial historians to criticize the prince.
Someone is targeted, naturally there is manpower to protect, after the imperial historians are sparse, many courtiers jumped out of the three provinces to defend the prince, the camps of the two sides are clear, and the court quarrels into a mess.
It was only at this time that Li Shimin suddenly discovered the severity of the matter.
