Li Zhi has only been on the throne for a few days, and if he makes an edict at this time, he is afraid of losing his majesty. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Throughout the ages, there have been many emperors who have issued edicts of guilt, but there are very few who have just ascended the throne and issued edicts of guilt, which will give people a feeling that this emperor is not very good.

Therefore, the ministers knelt down and asked Li Zhi to think twice.

In this case, Li Zhi naturally knows it, but now that the Tang Dynasty is in turmoil, and there is smallpox raging in Anning County, he doesn't make an edict against himself, how can the people be angry?

Facing the ministers, Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "Don't think twice, I have made up my mind, and I will issue an edict." ”

After saying this, the ministers had no choice but to respond.

At this time, an official asked, "Holy Lord, what about those people in Anning County who have been infected with smallpox?" ”

Li Zhi hesitated, and after a long time, he said, "Kill!" ”

As an emperor, you should be ruthless, and there is no other way.

The ministers looked at each other, and then retreated.

Li Zhi returned to the back and sent someone to call Su Wuwei.

"Sir, did I do something wrong?" Li Zhi was very painful, he actually wanted to order the killing of his own people, which was inconsistent with his kindness, but he had no choice, there was too much helplessness in life.

Seeing Li Zhi like this, Su Wuwei sighed lightly and said: "The saint has done nothing wrong, you are now the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, and all the people of the Tang Dynasty are your people, you must weigh it, it is not your fault to sacrifice a group of people to save more people." ”

Li Zhi glanced at Su Wuwei, the man who had taught him for many years had always known him best.

This made his heart feel a little better, but it didn't completely solve the problem, after all, those who were infected with smallpox were also his people, and he couldn't bear to kill them.

The room was very quiet, and the two of them sat like this, and after a long time, Su Wuwei said: "Holy Lord, in addition to issuing an edict against oneself and extinguishing smallpox, there is one thing you need to do." ”

Li Zhi looked up and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Now the people of the capital have a lot of complaints about the saint, and this matter is by no means groundless."

"It's because I let Mei Niang stay in the palace that caused these things."

Su Wuwei shook his head: "It's far from being that simple, Wu Meiniang is just a woman, you are the Son of Heaven, it's normal to have a few more women, the people won't think it's too much, what really makes the people complain about you is after the smallpox incident came out, but this matter is too strange, and the subordinates suspect that someone deliberately led the people to do this." ”

Li Zhi is a smart person, as soon as Su Wuwei said this, he more or less understood a little, and asked, "What kind of person does Mr. think?" ”

"Naturally, it's these princes in the capital."

"Them?"

Su Wuwei nodded: "That's right, so the Holy One, we have to teach them some lessons, otherwise they think that the Holy Lord is easy to bully, and maybe there will be some more trouble." ”

Li Zhi has just ascended the throne, and he has not yet established much prestige, so those princes think that he Li Zhi is good at bullying, so they want to use some small means to deal with him, if those princes are allowed to go on like this, they will be even more arrogant, and at that time, it will be difficult to get rid of them.

Therefore, it is better to do everything before it starts.

Li Zhi thought about it, felt that what Su Wuwei said made some sense, and said, "Then sir, what should we do?" ”

Su Wuwei thought for a while and said, "If you deal with too much at once, the pressure will be too great, so it's better to make an example of the chickens." ”

The two looked at each other, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Li Zhi's mouth, and then the two smiled heartily.

----------------------------

The next day, Li Zhi issued an edict to the people of Chang'an.

The edict of the guilty has been issued, and the people's complaints about Li Zhi are really less, no matter what, a son of heaven is willing to issue the edict of the guilty himself, which can more or less move some people.

However, despite this, smallpox was not eradicated, and the people were uneasy, which was more or less suspicious of Li Zhi.

However, soon after the news spread that the imperial court sent people to Anning County to deal with those who were suffering from smallpox, the people of the capital began to maintain a wait-and-see attitude.

And at this time, those princes in Chang'an City are still restless.

Li Zhi issued an edict of guilt, they felt that they could take advantage of it, an emperor just ascended the throne a few days after he issued an edict of guilt, so is he still a qualified emperor, but this matter cannot be in Chang'an City, the people of Chang'an City know what is going on, and they can't be deceived by cheating, so they have to spread the news to other places, so that people in other places will question Li Zhi.

In addition to the matter of the edict of the emperor, they can also take advantage of the massacre of smallpox patients ordered by Li Zhi.

Cruel, let's go like this, those sick people are killed, it's really cruel, an emperor is so cruel, how can the people feel a better future?

However, this status quo can not be rushed, the people of the current situation in the capital hate those smallpox patients in Anning County very much, and they can't wait for them to die immediately, if they spread such remarks at this time, it is impossible to get the support of the people, and now Li Zhi's actions are what the people really want to see, because smallpox is in danger of their lives, and they can't see the so-called mercy at this time.

But when the smallpox incident is over and then let them know Li Zhi's cruelty, they will think about it and be terrified, and at that time, they will really think that Li Zhi is cruel.

In fact, many people in the world are like this.

Whether a thing is good or bad depends on what kind of situation it is under and to whom it is.

People's hearts are fickle and unpredictable, which is a very normal thing.

Many princes are waiting for the opportunity to pit Li Zhi again, but what they don't know is that Li Zhi has also dug a pit and is waiting for them at this time.

In this case, a man returned to the capital.

Li Ji.

After Li Zhi ascended the throne, he sent someone to announce Li Ji's return to Beijing, and arranged a good position for him, but it took time to return to Chang'an City from Tianzhu, and during the time he returned to Chang'an City, a lot of things happened in Chang'an City, but he did not rush to see Li Zhi after he came back, but first went to Zhaoling to give Li Shimin incense, and then rushed back to Chang'an City.

At this time, Chang'an gave him a very strange feeling, he knew that something was wrong, so as soon as he returned to Chang'an, he immediately entered the palace to meet Li Zhi, Li Zhi was very happy when he saw Li Jing, and now in the entire Tang Dynasty, Li Ji can be said to be the most scheming person.

Back then, his father transferred him out of Chang'an City, in order to make better use of this person, and now that he is back, Li Zhi is very happy.

"Prince, you're finally back." Li Zhi stepped forward to hold Li Ji's hand, which made Li Ji very moved, and said, "Holy Lord, the minister is late to come back." ”

Li Zhi said: "It's okay, I believe that the British Duke will be able to clean up the mess for me." ”

Li Zhi told Li Ji about the situation in the capital, Li Ji pondered for a moment after listening, and then said: "The affairs of Shuzhong, there is the little marquis, as long as we ensure that all kinds of logistics work are normal, the minister believes that the little marquis can solve the affairs of Shuzhong, and what the minister is worried about now is Tubo." ”
