But even when Du Ruhui was about to send someone to send a letter, he never thought...
A strange and auspicious legend was discovered in Lingzhou, and it actually spread in Chang'an.
And after it spread in Chang'an, the people here were different from the people in Lingzhou. If for the businessmen in Lingzhou, Cordyceps sinensis is a herbal commodity that can be used to make money, then among scholars, it is
Much Chang'an...
This thing unknowingly quickly turned into an ominous sign.
If it is other auspicious things, such as a farmer discovering plums as big as a clay pot in the field, seeing a ten-foot-long snake, a dog's head with horns, etc., things that are still commonplace become special, then... bugs will
Unlike plums, snakes, and dogs, this thing is something that can naturally arouse people's fear... rather, it is because they have grown into inedible forms that all kinds of insects have survived to this day.
Naturally, this half-worm and half-grass thing was quickly interpreted in various ways, and various theories of ghosts and gods became popular in the market...
As time goes on, it becomes an ominous sign, and at this juncture...
The "ominous omen" is obviously very unfavorable for the Tang Dynasty's upcoming dispatch of troops to deal with border troubles!
In short, Du Ruhui immediately felt something bad about the gap, and at that time he planned to find a few old friends to discuss it - since the existence of this strange creature had been spread, it turned out to be an "ominous omen" as expected.
", then it will probably be useless to write letters to newspapers and magazines in Lingzhou at this time.
Du Ruhui knew this very well, so he planned to talk to Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling. But just after he returned to the mansion and before he could go, he received a notice from the eunuch that Du Ruhui, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, came to the palace to discuss matters!
Although he didn't know why, Du Ruhui always felt a thump in his heart...
He felt a little nervous. Although since Li Er had invited him, he must have gone to the palace first, but... Du Ruhui had a premonition that Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and Changsun Wuji might also have been summoned.
As for why I was called over, maybe it has something to do with the things I have been paying attention to recently...
And when we arrived at the palace, it was as expected.
Li Er, with a dark face, was sitting in the Manna Palace sulking. His closest ministers were not present, so he said nothing.
No doubt, I have something on my mind!
…
Du Ruhui arrived at the palace and greeted His Majesty. After several old men nodded, they saw that Li Er's face was ugly.
Snapped!
With a crisp sound, a book was thrown onto the desk.
"Watch it for yourselves!"
Wei Zheng and other ministers looked at each other with confusion, and Du Ruhui already had a bad feeling.
I picked up the booklet and looked through it, and sure enough...
Du Ruhui was suddenly amused and annoyed. After all, this thing was spreading more and more widely, and now Li Er knew about it.
"Look, look! What are you talking about!"
Li Er's face was full of anger, "It's an ominous sign. These barbarians are always robbing our people in the Tang Dynasty. Why didn't I see any ominous signs from them? I wanted to calm down the border troubles and take care of this matter for the people, but they gave me
Something bad happened!”
"It's... what an honor it is, what an honor it is!"
Although... Li Er was very angry about this matter.
After all, the ninth year of Zhenguan had a bad start to the year. First, I wanted to see my children, but ended up being troubled by Tuyuhun. Now I had to deal with the border troubles, which caused new troubles, and rumors began to spread among the people.
Li Er simply... had only one sentence to say, but was speechless!
Du Ruhui and others saw His Majesty's speechless expression, and naturally felt worried in their hearts.
because……
After a while, Li Er looked at the ministers below with an unkind expression.
"What do you think? Is there any way you can break this bad omen?"
For Li Er, any ominous omen is nonsense. My people are being beaten. I have to step forward and tell me the ominous omen. How many grenades are there in the ominous omen?
But since the public was in an uproar and public opinion was unfavorable, Li Er was of course still worried. After all, there were too many valuables for prophecy studies in China.
But after he asked this question and waited expectantly for a few seconds, the result...
The group of unscrupulous people below showed no reaction. Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling both frowned, feeling as unhappy as Li Er.
But Du Ruhui thought of more, because he felt...
This kind of auspicious and reverse auspicious jokes are sometimes almost impeccable. Especially for the people of Chang'an, the pressure of life is much less than that of other states and counties, and they like exciting topics after dinner.
Since this kind of soil is hidden among the people, it is of course not surprising that all kinds of weird theories can arise. The problem now is... Du Ruhui doesn't know how to defeat this kind of thing.
Although Li Er had an angry look on his face, he could only sigh in his heart when he saw that none of the ministers responded.
"You really have nothing to do?"
When His Majesty asked him like this again, Wei Zheng frowned even more, but he could only say, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid there are only two ways to go about this matter. Or... let it go. Anyway, although there are some rumors, no one dares to come against me.
Making irresponsible remarks about the great achievements of the Tang Dynasty."
"The second... is to seal down newspapers and magazines as much as possible and prohibit the distribution of such things everywhere!"
After saying that, Wei Zheng held up his hand.
Both of these options seem a bit unsightly, but for Wei Zheng and other masterminds in troubled times, as long as the matter can be solved, any method is not impossible to consider!
In his opinion, the survival and growth of the Tang Dynasty was more important than anything else.
But...that's what I say.
Li Er thought so in his heart. But since he specially invited these guys to come for the meeting, he still felt unwilling to do so.
If he ignores it, Li Er will feel unhappy - I have to be forced to deal with border troubles, which is a legitimate thing. Li Er simply takes a step back and gets more and more angry. And if the whole country closes down Yi Ying Bao Publishing House...
It’s not impossible to do this, but it certainly can’t be done cleanly!
If all newspapers and periodicals are really closed down... Yes, there is nothing wrong with it, but if newspapers and periodicals are closed down, printing can still be circulated among the people... At that time, it is obviously impossible for these newspapers and periodicals to really disappear, but will only
From an open one to an underground secret newspaper.
If it is difficult for the court to control it, the hidden dangers will be greater and accidents will be more likely to happen. Li Er also thought of this, so...
This genius specially summoned Wei Zhengfang, Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others to come over to discuss and see if there was any other way.
Everyone thought about it, but couldn't figure it out... But at this moment.
Fang Xuanling was suddenly startled, and then looked at Li Er excitedly: "Your Majesty, I have a solution!"
"oh?"
Li Eryi was looking forward to seeing Fang Xuanling so excited. He was clearly thinking of something. But...
