Chapter 773: Boiling Chang'an

Early the next morning, the newspaper urgently printed two more newspapers, and before the time came, 10,000 copies of the first edition of the newspaper were sold out, and immediately, the whole Chang'an City was in an uproar, and the sound of discussion resounded throughout the entire Chang'an City, and the scene was no less spectacular than a major earthquake.

The reason for this scene is one thing.

Jade unicorn Li Yi, in order to celebrate his beloved wife's birthday, retreated for seven days and seven nights, developed a gift for the world - fireworks, and that night, personally wrote a long poem in the Li Mansion, and raised the power of the whole house to celebrate the princess's birthday. Not only that, according to reports, in order to please the princess, Li Yi also specially developed a rickshaw, and that night, with eight beautiful wives and concubines, traveled to Chang'an City, everywhere he went, fireworks were blooming, and the people were boiling.

As soon as this report came out, the people of the entire Chang'an City instantly lost their voices, regardless of men and women, young and old, all of them were stunned by Li Yi's feat. From ancient times to the present, there has never been a man who has done such a romantic thing for his wife, not to mention that there is no one before him, but there is absolutely no one who has ever done it before.

For this matter, the people are mixed, the literati and the children's remarks are very unified, basically to give ruthless criticism to Li Yi's actions, saying that he disregards the law of etiquette, grandstanding, arrogant and lascivious, moral degradation, anyway, how ugly and ugly the scolding is, some are bold, and even go directly to the front of Daxing Palace, kneel long, and ask Li Er to severely punish Li Yi, the attitude is extremely resolute, there is no punishment of Li Yi, and he kneels and dies in front of Daxing Palace.

On the other hand, most of the women in Chang'an City, up to the old and weak women and children, down to the children in Huangkou, as long as the gender is female, they all praise Li Yi, and give the greatest affirmation to Li Yi's behavior. Some sturdy women even sneaked directly into the Li Mansion, and they didn't leave, and bluntly said that even if they were the maids who served tea and water, they knew that half of the eight beauties in the Li Mansion were born as maids, and such a big chance was enough to make many rotten girls take risks.

Also, for the biggest beneficiary of this time, Princess Changle, all the people's views are relatively unified, that is, envy, jealousy and even hatred, and even some excessive people, they all compare Changle with the ancient praise, Diao Chan and Xi Shi, because they are all disaster-level beauties who have influenced the whole country with their own strength, and those who have good deeds even spread the remarks of the four beauties, however, due to Changle's identity and her charitable image, this kind of remarks only circulated among the market, and did not spread. Most of the people in Chang'an are still grateful to Changle, so this kind of remark has no place at all.

However, no matter what, the entire Chang'an City is jumping because of Li Yi's affairs, some women forced their husbands to celebrate their birthdays, some women cried and shouted for fireworks, some women forced their husbands to write love poems, and if they couldn't write them, they weren't allowed to go to bed, and even more, some women locked their husbands in a small black room, asking him to invent and create something novel that satisfies them, and if he can't get it, he is not allowed to come out.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were definitely not a few fierce Hedong lions, therefore, in one day, there were quite a few men in Chang'an City who were in deep trouble, and I don't know how many people were gritting their teeth and cursing Li Yi, which shows that Li Yi really stabbed the hornet's nest this time.

Also, what followed was that the love poems written by Li Yi, the fruit cakes he made, the rickshaws, fireworks and other things also became popular all over the city in an instant, but it is a pity that whether it is cakes, rickshaws or fireworks, they are just a flash in the pan. The fruit cake was imitated, but the imitation was difficult to satisfy everyone.

This matter has been in a rage all morning, and the streets and alleys are full of shadows of guards catching fast. However, before the storm had been heard, the second edition of the newspaper began to be published again, and this time, in just half an hour, 15,000 copies of the newspaper were sold out.

Immediately, a piece of news came out, and the entire Chang'an City was boiling again.

The Tang Emperor decreed: Li Yi, the prince of Weinan County, disregarded the etiquette law and harassed the people...... Punish Li Yi to stripped of all official positions, demote him to the Marquis of Weinan County, and punish him to be confined for one month to set an example!

Li Yi was dismissed, and everyone was unbelievable when they first heard about it. Because Li Yi can have today, it is all based on real merits, Qianzhuang, Shangmeng, Northern Expedition, Jinling, charity, etc., all these achievements are real, there is nothing false, such a great achievement, how can it be because of a "seemingly absurd" thing to cut the official and dismiss the knight, this is a bit too trivial.

Such a serious punishment, even those troublesome literati and Confucian scholars were blinded, although they were "forced to die", but most of them were for fame, they didn't think they could really win, they expected that even if Li Er really compromised, it would be at most a punishment and confinement, after all, Li Yi's merits and holy relatives were there, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that Li Yi was Li Er's "heart meat", how could he be punished?

But they didn't expect that Li Er was not only punished, but also sent it so thoroughly, it was simply a stroke to the end, although there was still a marquis left, but everyone understood that this marquis was the last trace of face for Li Yi, and it had no effect, in Chang'an City, the most important thing was the nobles, even the dukes grabbed a lot of them, not to mention the marquis, not to mention the bad streets, and they were not very valuable, and even if Li Yi did not have a marquis, just by virtue of his identity as Li Jing's eldest grandson, he was much more noble than any marquis.

Therefore, Li Er's holy decree can be regarded as directly beating Li Yi back to his original form, such a serious punishment made those literati and Confucian scholars who made the most trouble panic, and those who had a little brain knew that this time, they must have caused trouble.

Not to mention them, the other people also felt very ridiculous when they heard this, many people didn't believe it at first, but as more and more people talked about it, the people had to believe it. Then the people were boiling at once.

However, this matter is indeed a bit weird, although many people want to fight for Li Yi, but because there is no one to organize, there is no chaos after all, and this time is different from last time, Li Yi's head was almost unable to be saved last time, this time it was just a reduction in officials and dismissal, naturally no one will be blind, even if there are some irrational people, they were also arrested and suppressed in time by the patrol.

As a result, Chang'an City, which had been making trouble for a day, was strangely calmed down because of this strange holy decree, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that the pacification of this matter is only on the surface, and secretly, this matter is still a topic after tea and dinner.
