Chapter 169 The court is full of robbers, robbers and prostitutes!
After finishing speaking, Li Qian didn't care about the reactions of the ministers, stood up and left.
If it were before, he wouldn't have had to react like this, and he wouldn't have even left any room for Gao Xun at the court meeting.
But what Cai Jing and others did really made him too angry.
Li Qian had been busy for so long before. He told the Forbidden Army to treat the people of Wu well and asked Yan Song and Shen to treat the victims well. What was his purpose?
In addition to the fact that he couldn't bear the suffering of ordinary people, he also did have a utilitarian intention, that is, he wanted to gain a good reputation for himself.
Li Qian will not deny his utilitarianism, and no one is a saint who gives selflessly.
But what these bastards like Cai Jing are doing now is to make all his previous efforts go to waste!
If such rumors are spread everywhere, how will the people outside view him as an emperor?
Therefore, Cai Jing must be taught a lesson!
In the palace, watching His Majesty the Emperor leave, the officials had different reactions, but there was nothing they could do.
They could only look at each other and disperse.
Imperial Palace, Ziwei Hall.
Li Qian listened to the reports from the old eunuch and Lu Bu in front of him, and the smile on his lips never stopped.
"Father, those old guys are so angry!"
Lu Bu talked with excitement about what happened in the capital in recent days. This was the first time he experienced the sinister pleasure behind spreading news.
All I can say is, it’s extremely strong!
"Nice job."
Li Qian said with a smile: "The next step is to restrain yourself and stop being so unscrupulous."
At today's court meeting, this matter was brought up openly. I think the ministers will pay more attention to the small cursive script.
In the past, the small cursive script was spread out during the night curfew. If we repeat the same trick now, I'm afraid the secret will be exposed.
The old eunuch breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty is wise."
Lu Bu was a little dissatisfied, but he curled his lips and complied.
"But being restrained doesn't mean saying nothing at all."
Li Qian smiled evilly: "Actually, spreading things like cursive scripts without spreading them by word of mouth is not very likely to be exposed."
Just find a deserted alley and throw the things away, and sooner or later someone will pick them up.
Even if one person who finds something doesn't spread it around, shouldn't everyone who finds it spread the word?
This thing is very difficult to eradicate...
As Li Qian expected, with the secret encouragement of Lu Bu and others, the cursive writing incident in the capital not only did not gradually disappear, but intensified.
Rumors tend to become false as they spread, and it's similar to this kind of thing.
Later, it was not just the cursive scripts spread by Lu Bu and others, but also some good-hearted people in the city, storytellers who wanted to improve their performance... These people even wrote their own cursive scripts and the like, and spread them everywhere.
As for what’s on it…
I can only say that it is not the most outrageous, only more outrageous.
Why does the Generalissimo have unique tastes? The long-haired man that the "caterpillar" Nianshilang likes actually came from his house, but they used it in different places.
Why did a certain Ling Yin actually like the little nuns in the temple the most, so he built so many Buddhist temples? In addition to promoting Buddhism, he had other thoughts.
Why is there a certain fat man who likes gold so much that even the things he uses in daily life and the things he sleeps with are coated with gold powder, that's why he charges so much money.
What else is there that a certain prime minister actually doesn't like women, but has other hobbies? It's not that he raised dozens of sons and daughters outside... Of course, this last one does not rule out that someone released them in order to prove his innocence. information.
This time is different from last time. Last time, Li Qian only wrote about some useless things of some officials, and overall he was still in a state of restraint. But now that he let the people in the city write, he has no restraint.
Basically, everyone looks at whoever is unhappy, and whoever has more scandals, and whose rumors are interesting, and whoever has more scandals...
Therefore, basically all officials were affected, including He Shen and Yan Song who went to Xingyang and Bianzhou to provide disaster relief.
For a time, people in the capital were in turmoil. The people were having fun, but many officials fell into a contradictory mentality.
On the one hand, in the past, the bosses who were superior and the colleagues who were serious were now getting rumors, and everyone was secretly happy.
But on the other hand, rumors about myself may be spread at any time, and I feel uneasy all day long.
So overall, it is painful and happy.
Imperial City.
The yamen in the imperial palace had two very large dividing lines.
The two provinces located in the inner dynasty, Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province, have their offices in Wenyuan Pavilion and Dong Pavilion respectively. These two places are very simple.
Because they were not originally designed to be used as office locations for ministers.
The many yamen in the imperial cities of the outer dynasties were different.
Whether it is the offices of the Six Ministries, the Five Temples, or the many Forbidden Army, or even the horses in Taipu Temple and the pigs in Guanglu Temple, the office and living conditions may be better than those in the two provinces of the Inner Dynasty.
In the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, the duty room of the temple priest was particularly busy today.
The priest and doctor of the temple went to the Fine Food Department to discuss official matters, leaving only the director and officials in the hall.
There was nothing going on, so everyone gathered together in a low voice and discussed various rumors that had been spreading wildly in recent days.
"Huh? You tell me, our Song Budang is really well-connected, why can he be the only one to find such a strong man!" A junior official lowered his voice and said with excitement on his face.
"You are stupid!" Another clerk couldn't help but said: "Didn't I tell you already? These men all came from the Generalissimo's house."
"Look at the generalissimo, isn't that what our department likes the most?"
"Is it possible that the Generalissimo was also involved?" The clerk who spoke first had a look of horror on his face. It was obviously the first time he heard this important news.
"Of course, there may be Prime Minister Qin..."
The manager on the side often went to various restaurants and teahouses, so he heard a lot of news that others didn't know. He was talking to a few people in a low voice at the moment.
Several people laughed while talking, as if discussing their boss's privacy like this was a very exciting thing... Of course, it was indeed quite exciting.
Just when a few people were chatting happily, the sound of the door creaking was heard.
Several people turned around and looked at the same time, and found that the duty room of the Yuanwailang had been opened, and the Yuanwailang Li Gefei, who was wearing a green robe and looking a little haggard, was walking out of the duty room.
"Li Langzhong."
The chief and several minor officials greeted each other with a smile and hurriedly returned to their respective positions.
"Don't talk about your adults' private affairs anymore."
Li Gefei glanced at them helplessly. They said they were discussing in private, but they were so loud that he could hear them in the room.
If Song Qiaonian really walked by the door and happened to hear that these people were not feeling well, he, a foreigner, would not be able to bear the burden of walking around.
"Yes, Mr. Li, your subordinates must pay attention!"
Several bosses and minor officials responded hurriedly. They did not dare to offend Li Gefei.
When Li Gefei first came to the Ministry of Rites, there were many junior officials who wanted to stumbling upon this envoy and establishing rules and so on.
Unexpectedly, he went to chat with Uncle Zong the next day and had lunch together. This was the case for several days.
This made many petty officials suddenly lose their minds.
What's more, there was gossip later that this person was related to Prime Minister Qin, which made all the petty officials express their gratitude that they didn't rush to take action.
Later, Li Gefei relied on his actions and personality charm to gradually conquer many colleagues and subordinates in the Ministry of Rites.
Diligent in learning and asking questions, elegant and measured, working tirelessly and treating others politely, he is simply a living and elegant gentleman.
Looking at Li Gefei's figure turning back to check the room, the manager sighed quietly: "You said what a good person our Mr. Li was when he first came here?"
"You have been in our etiquette department for such a long time, why are you so haggard?"
This statement was immediately approved by many junior officials. Everyone recalled how handsome Mr. Li was when he first came here. His body and hair were meticulously groomed. If he were to be released, he would be a middle-aged handsome man, and many young girls would be attracted by him.
Chase.
But how long has it been?
Now Mr. Li has begun to look slovenly, looking haggard all day long, and he can no longer even speak so confidently.
"Huh? You said that our Mr. Li has a relationship with Prime Minister Qin, and he is directly subordinate to our Minister Nian. Could they..." Suddenly a clerk expressed his guess with a subtle look in his eyes.
The eyes of several other people present also became subtle.
"Ahem~" The host stroked his short beard and cleared his throat: "You can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense."
"In the future, we should try to mention as little as possible such unsubstantiated rumors."
"Yes, sir." Several petty officials responded in unison, but the strange smiles on their faces could not be concealed...
This is just the joy of the lower-level officials, but for the upper-level officials who were exposed to rumors, the experience is not so good.
Cai Mansion, study room.
Cai Jing's face was as ugly as last time. In recent days, although the cursive script has been passed on to almost all kinds of people, the most popular one is still the original version.
No matter how much the later ones imitate, they can never surpass the original ones.
This may be strength.
Therefore, at present, there are three people who are most popular in cursive script in the capital, and some people even gave them the title of "Three Heroes of Cursive Script".
They are "Lvye Shangshu", "Nian Shilang" and "Midnight Butcher".
But today, two of the three heroes gathered in this study room, which made the participants feel a sense of pride... It's strange.
Cai Jing looked at the two ministers of the Ministry of Justice with a calm expression: "Why are there still rumors in the city all day long?"
"Can't you find out where these messy cursive scripts come from?"
After so many days of mental training, Mr. Cai Jingcai's demands have been reduced from catching the mastermind behind the scenes to eliminating the rumors.
Deng Xunwu waited for a moment, but when Gao Xun didn't speak, he bit the bullet and said, "Sir, it's difficult."
"At first, these things appeared overnight. Someone must have taken advantage of the curfew and sprinkled them in the city."
"In the past few days, our people have also asked the soldiers and horses to wait in the city. When the curfew comes, they will set up an ambush to catch those thieves."
"It's just...the thieves seemed to have gotten the news and never came out again."
Han Mulu, the right minister of the Ministry of Finance, was shocked: "Brother Deng, you mean... we have a spy in our midst?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was startled, and their eyes were a little startled and uncertain.
Cai Jing frowned slightly.
"It's not necessarily a spy."
Deng Xunwu shook his head gently: "It's possible that the thieves noticed the news and didn't dare to come out."
"It's also possible that someone from the Bingma Division leaked the news..."
“Let’s not talk about the person who initially spread the news.”
Cai Jing looked heavy: "The top priority is to get rid of all these messy rumors!"
Deng Xunwu had a troubled look on his face, and he cupped his hands and said: "Sir, if there is no imperial ban, I'm afraid... it will be very difficult."
Without waiting for Cai Jing to speak, he hurriedly explained: "Now there is no need for those thieves to come out to spread the papyrus. The people in the capital have started to write it themselves."
"In the past few days, I have also caught a few people writing small cursive scripts. I thought they were the instigators of that night, but after checking, I found out that those people were just joining in the fun and writing it because they thought it was interesting."
"Moreover, these people also said that they thought the 'butcher' was just a character in a play, and they just wrote it for fun."
After he said this, everyone present gradually understood.
Some ordinary people may not even understand who the characters referred to by each nickname are and what they mean.
They are simply here to join in the fun.
And how many of these people are there in the capital?
Is it possible to arrest them all?
Therefore, without a prohibitive charter, it is impossible to achieve anything.
But the problem lies in this charter!
If this matter was not brought to light by Bao Xuan, it would not be impossible for Cai Jing and the others to directly issue this decree after discussing with Zhongshu Sheng and using their connections with the Ministry.
But since this matter has been made public, and His Majesty the Emperor has clearly stated in the court meeting that word will spread, are you more delicate than me?
How to answer this?
So the matters of that day were put on hold.
But now that the rumors are spreading again, what should we do now?
There was silence in the study.
Cai Jing suddenly sighed and said slowly: "It seems that Your Majesty still holds a grudge for what happened before..."
No need for him to explain, everyone understood it.
Mr. Cai must be talking about the rumors that were spread before.
Many of them have witnessed it with their own eyes, and even secretly contributed to it...
"Previously, the Ministry of Punishment used excuses to avoid punishing those who were caught. Now His Majesty is using the same excuse to avoid punishing those rumors."
They may be able to make moves in secret, but after all, their name is not justified.
"grown ups……"
Deng Xunwu thought for a moment and suddenly said: "Now all officials are victims. As long as we contact more people, we can all come together to remonstrate with you at the court meeting..."
Many Cai Party members were startled, and even Cai Jing showed some emotion on his face.
To talk about joining together to remonstrate is actually similar to forcing the palace.
As long as there are enough people who sign the petition, even the emperor will have to submit.
Cai Jing nodded lightly for a while, then frowned, as if weighing the pros and cons of this matter.
After thinking for a moment, he still shook his head: "It's not appropriate. It's not appropriate to go to war just because of this matter."
"You must not forget the original intention of starting this rumor."
After listening to Cai Jing's words, everyone present nodded slowly and fell into deep thought.
What was it for in the first place?
Of course it’s for the millions of acres of fertile land!
The purpose is to set off a strong momentum, which will then be fed back to the DPRK, so that His Majesty the Emperor will yield to the general trend.
Or let Yan Song and He Shen surrender.
Seeing their silence, Cai Jing continued: "Everyone, our purpose is not rumors, but the situation in Xingyang and Bianzhou."
"Rumors are just means and processes. Just because there is a problem in the process, there will be problems in the result."
"We all submitted a letter because of the rumors. When we arrived in Xingyang, we all submitted a letter together about the Bianzhou incident..."
Cai Jing's eyes were serious: "Continuing like this is too big and attracts the attention of others."
All the party members were silent, and they all understood what he meant.
Only Gao Xun, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke: "Sir, if others start to make suggestions, can we follow behind them?"
This makes sense.
After all, they are not the only ones affected this time, there are many officials who are also suffering from these rumors.
Many other Cai Party members also looked at Cai Jing, waiting for his words.
Cai Jing was silent for a moment, and then said: "If we want to submit a letter together, we must convict those who spread rumors about His Majesty."
These words were very direct, and many Tsai Party officials were unable to refute them.
It makes no sense that those who spread rumors about the emperor are still at large. Those who spread rumors about the ministers must be dealt with first.
"Then be prepared to deal with it."
Cai Jing sighed again, shook his head slightly and said, "How many people in the city can still remember what I said before?"
People's memories are time-limited. With so many new hot topics, who still remembers the previous ones?
Moreover, compared with things like green-leaf ministers and caterpillars, the emperor's transportation of gold and silver treasures from Xingyang is really ordinary and too cliché.
The common people may have heard countless similar rumors, so how can they be as fresh and exciting as the former?
"Even if we don't deal with it, if other officials actually submit a letter together, we will become a stumbling block for them."
Cai Party officials had mixed reactions, but most of them nodded slightly.
"What Mr. Cai said is absolutely true."
Gao Xun smiled and nodded: "Before, the official and others were fascinated by this rumor. Thanks to Mr. Cai for staying calm in times of danger and giving guidance."
"It's really the sea-fixing needle for subordinates!"
A smile appeared on Cai Jing's lips: "The Dinghai Shenzhen theory has passed..."
"I won't pass, I won't pass."
"Yes, Mr. Cai is completely worthy of it!"
"Master Cai expounded the pros and cons, it was really like an enlightenment..."
Amidst the sounds of horses, Cai Jing's mood finally improved a bit.
Of course, this is also inseparable from the hope that the rumors will finally calm down.
The plan of Cai Jing and others went very smoothly.
At the court meeting two days later, someone indeed raised the issue of banning "little cursive script" again.
But today's initiative was beyond the expectations of Cai Jing's party members, beyond Li Qian's expectations, and beyond everyone's expectations.
Because he is Wei Zheng.
In the Qianyang Hall, the morning light was dim, and the bright red dragon columns cast shadows.
Wei Zheng came out in front, wearing a bright red official robe, with a straight back and a wat tablet in his hand, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, because of these rumors, the people in the city are in a state of unrest. There are even some people who are not engaged in production and are just playing with these so-called 'little cursive scripts' ."
"The people's hearts are like water, and the people's agitation is like smoke. I hope that your majesty will pay attention to this matter. I think that there may be spies from other countries secretly working on this matter. This matter must be guarded against!"
Wei Zheng raised his hands with a serious look on his face and said: "Nowadays, the common people think that the ministers in the court are all full of thieves, men are thieves and women are prostitutes. If this continues, the consequences will be disastrous."
The ministers almost fainted.
Can you say something nice when you step on the horse?
What does it mean to be a rooster and a dog thief? Male thieves and female prostitutes?
Li Qian was also shocked, wondering who had leaked such a big secret?
What?
It turns out it’s me, then it’s okay!
At present, among the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, no matter who said that rumors should be banned, he would disdain it, but Wei Zheng was the only one who said that Li Qian would not be angry.
Because when those bastards in Cai Jing spread rumors about him and Li Qian, Wei Zheng stood up and stopped them. He also said that if the Ministry of Punishment did not dare to interrogate, they could hand the matter over to the Yushitai for interrogation.
It's just that although the Sanfa Division is called the San Fa Division, in fact the work of interrogating people is mainly done by the Ministry of Punishment or Dali Temple, and the Yushitai also plays a supervisory role.
At that time, those prisoners were firmly controlled by the Ministry of Punishment, and it was difficult for others to intervene.
So after Wei Zheng tried hard, he still failed.
But Li Qian still remembered his kindness, so after Wei Zheng finished speaking, Li Qian did not speak in a hurry, but nodded slowly and looked at the other ministers.
Li Yuan also suddenly stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I think this stubbornness cannot last forever!"
"The common people are doing good things by taking advantage of this time for entertainment and entertainment. Your Majesty is considerate of the people. It is a benevolent act and a good thing."
"However, this matter has been used by people with ulterior motives to discredit the imperial court and commit evil. This is the beginning of trouble!"
Li Qian looked at this smeared imperial uncle, feeling somewhat guilty.
At first, he just made a small rumor, but he didn't expect that the rumor was a bit powerful, and he directly pulled Li Yuan into the position of "Three Heroes of Cursive Script".
This guy must have been feeling aggrieved recently, right?
As Li Yuan spoke, other officials who had been harmed by the cursive script also spoke up, denounced the harmful effects of this thing.
"Your Majesty, this matter will cause hundreds of harms and no benefit at all. I hope your Majesty will ban this matter!"
"We also need to catch Xiaochi Xiao behind the scenes. Maybe this person is a spy of the Yuan Kingdom!"
"Your Majesty, if we don't severely punish people like this who are jumping up and down behind the scenes, where will my dignity be..."
The ministers in scarlet robes were blowing their beards and staring. They seemed to have finally found a channel to vent their frustration after so many days.
Even Jingzhao Yin and Wang Jin, who had never liked to talk, spoke up this time and couldn't help but denounced those unscrupulous little cursive scripts.
Mr. Wang is very devout to Buddha, how could he have anything to do with nuns?
Impossible, it’s just groundless!
Cai Jing's gang members were also mixed among many ministers, very smoothly and without any trace.
Li Qian looked at the excited ministers below and knew the heat was coming.
He turned his head and glanced at the old eunuch standing by, who immediately understood.
"Quiet!" he shouted, and all the officials knew that His Majesty the Emperor had probably made a decision, so they all fell silent.
Li Qian frowned slightly: "Why are you all like this? Are the rumors in the capital really so wild?"
"You still make people think that all the ministers in the dynasty are roosters and robbers? What kind of rumor is this?"
"Uh..." All the officials remained silent, and all of them lost their heroic posture of pulling their necks and howling just now.
Just as Wei Zheng was about to explain, Li Yuan suddenly said with a dark face: "Your Majesty, any kind of rumors are untrue and should be banned."
"Some people spread rumors in the capital before, but the Ministry of Punishment did not punish them, which only encouraged the arrogance of these thieves!"
"I think the Ministry of Punishment has neglected its duties!"
Li Yuan directly classified those who spread rumors before and those who write cursive scripts now into the same category.
Li Qian was startled when he heard this and nodded slowly.
But before he could speak, Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun below stood up at the same time and said in unison: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Punishment admits its mistake."
Deng Xunwu immediately said: "Your Majesty, I thought that those thieves were making false claims about Your Majesty that were not within my ears, so I did not dare to try those people rashly."
"Since His Majesty has given the order, and the rumors are being banned again and again in the capital, I believe that the thief who spread the rumors in the first place should be severely punished."
Li Qian nodded expressionlessly, but felt a little disdainful in his heart.
The rumors you spread have been forgotten for a long time, but now you think of punishing those people, why did you go there so early?
And according to what this bastard surnamed Deng said, it was as if he, Li Qian, didn't know what was good or bad.
"Then what do you think should be the severe punishment?"
Deng Xunwu was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Li Qian to ask this.
"Your Majesty..." He only paused for a moment before replying: "I believe that those who have committed serious crimes should be sentenced to be beheaded, hanged or sent to the border areas. Those who have committed lighter crimes should be punished with a stick or other punishments."
"Yes." Li Qian nodded lightly: "After the verdict, it will be handed over to Dali Temple for review."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Deng Xunwu cupped his hands and replied.
"I accept the decree." Yan Maoqing also jumped out and replied impatiently.
Those previous rumors not only discredited Li Qian, but also secretly stabbed He Shen and Yan Song.
Yan Maoqing had long wanted to punish those people severely and show his loyalty to Yan Song, but he was always in the hands of the Ministry of Punishment.
Now that we have finally caught the opportunity, how can we not give it a try?
After dealing with the previous rumors, it’s time to deal with the latest rumors.
Li Qian looked at the many officials, frowned and said, "It seems that all the members of the Qing family are deeply affected by this rumor. I am also a little curious."
The ministers raised their hearts in their throats again. Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor's words only ended here and did not continue.
Li Qian sighed softly: "Actually, I am also a person who has been harmed by rumors in the city, and I can understand your difficulties."
"Since all the gentlemen have said so, it would be better to ban those small cursive scripts."
The ministers all breathed a sigh of relief and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise."
Li Qian looked at their expressions and suddenly changed his subject: "But I think what the emperor said makes sense."
Li Yuan raised his head in confusion. What makes sense?
Li Qian pretended not to see him, and continued: "It is a good thing for the people to use this matter for entertainment, but the bad thing is that it is taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives."
He continued: "It is better to guard against the mouth of the people than to guard against the river. I think it is better to dredge than to block. When the ancient Sage Emperor Dayu controlled the water, he also used dredging instead of blocking. Only then could we have the surging water veins of Daqian today and benefit the people. ."
The ministers continued to look at His Majesty the Emperor, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.
Only a few people seemed to notice some signs and frowned.
Li Qian continued: "Now the people are happy about this, but the court directly bans it. It will be like blocking it when the flood comes. Over time, there will be mistakes."
"So, I decided to set up another yamen in the imperial city to collect these small papyri from the people, extract them and submit them to me."
He looked at the many ministers present with a smile: "This can be regarded as a channel for the people to express their voices. I also have to know what we are thinking and thinking in the hearts of the people!"
The ministers' scalps instantly went numb. What do you think those things are doing? Are you laughing at us?
"Your Majesty, this has never happened in our ancestral system. Please take back your order." Cai Jing's face turned green and he took the lead in bowing.
Qin Hui couldn't help but stand up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the court has been dealing with memorials and government affairs all day long, and it is already difficult to deal with them. Now with the cursive writing of the people, it is even more difficult to deal with it."
"No need to rush."
Li Qian smiled and said: "I didn't say I wanted the court to handle it."
"It's already troublesome enough for the ministers of the imperial court to deal with state affairs every day. It's better for me to do this trivial matter myself. It doesn't matter if I have to suffer a little more."
When he said this, the ministers were even more unhappy, and they all wanted to argue with embarrassment.
But Li Qian had already expected their reaction. He cleared his throat and said, "Dear lords, since this matter was brought up at the court meeting and was mentioned twice, I guess the rumor you are talking about is written in cursive. The matter is already very serious.”
He said with a solemn expression: "Everyone is talking about this matter now. If you block the way of talking rashly, I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous."
"Your Majesty, what are the words of the people?"
Qin Hui said helplessly: "Ordinary people don't know how to write, and what they write is vulgar."
"There are many people in the capital, and they are all good and bad. If someone with evil intentions tempts Your Majesty, it will be extremely difficult to prevent them."
"Prime Minister Qin's words are wrong." Wei Zheng suddenly said.
Qin Hui originally wanted to continue speaking, but after hearing these words, he suppressed his words and turned to look at Wei Zheng with a smile: "I wonder what Doctor Wei has to say?"
Wei Zheng said bluntly: "If you listen to both, you will be enlightened, if you listen to one side, you will be dark. Prime Minister Qin, don't the words of the people count as words?"
"Anyone in the world, as long as his words can reach the ears of the emperor and be of help to the emperor, he can be regarded as a good speaker, and he will be of great help to me."
Wei Zheng was the chief official, so Qin Hui was at a natural disadvantage in arguing with him.
However, Qin Hui was not just a simple character. He chuckled and said, "Doctor Wei, the officials are all talented people selected by the imperial court, so they can naturally give advice to His Majesty."
"But if people outside are allowed to write those messy things, not only will most of them be conjectures, but there is no truth in a hundred falsehoods. Reading so many documents every day will be even more of a drag on His Majesty's dragon body."
"Doctor Wei, it's better to be cautious."
Li Qian looked at the argument between the two and smiled slightly.
Whenever this kind of thing is brought up, he will encounter resistance. Fortunately, today he was somewhat prepared.
