Chapter 332 People's hearts are like water, all eyes are on!
This report from all the officials in the court was as fierce as a tiger, and Li Er finally understood what was going on.
Seeing that the Zhuque Gate was still closed, he chuckled.
"Open the city gate for me!"
"His Majesty?"
"His Majesty?"
Seeing Li Er so cheerful, the officials below were a little suspicious.
Is this... is this accepted?
It shouldn’t be. With Li Er’s character, I’m afraid he needs some good persuasion...
On this day, among the officials who wanted Li Er to bow his head, the main force was of course from various aristocratic families.
But this day is also a special day, otherwise Du Ruhui, Chang Sun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others would not have come to call Li Er.
The reason is very simple. There are still many scholars who are not closely related to aristocratic families or who have passed the imperial examination. These people do not have so many connections and are generally conservative and kind-hearted.
When an epidemic occurs, the idea is very simple: to solve the epidemic problem as much as possible and save more people.
Regardless of whether they are the more powerful ones, ordinary people, or newer scholars, this time they are surprisingly unanimous in their opinions.
This epidemic has spread a lot in Chang'an City, and naturally they cannot sit still for a long time. After all, for conservative ordinary people, no matter whether the method is good or bad, or what impact it has, in the final analysis, these things cannot be discussed with the people.
It's impossible to survive.
So in this case.
For conservatives, asking His Majesty to give in and say a few good words to the wealthy families is actually not something that is difficult to accept.
Officials from the aristocratic family line are shocked when they see me!
Is there such a good thing?
Naturally, he would follow the good example and start making trouble like crazy!
Hence the "grand occasion" today...
This is why even Wei Zheng and others were blown up to attend this event today.
In fact, the bad guys are not scary, but I am afraid that if the bad guys have a culture and can coerce a group of good people, things will be troublesome...
Li Er's eyes were gloomy, turning a blind eye to the different expressions and glances of everyone.
He waved his hand directly and asked the chamberlain to open the Suzaku Gate.
Then...
soon.
Li Er saw Pei Ji.
Just as the chamberlain reported, this guy was really naked, imitating the ancients and carrying a thorn stick to apologize.
Seeing this scene, Li Er just wanted to laugh.
Does Mr. Pei really think that I am an idiot emperor who was born in a deep palace and raised in the hands of a woman?
What's the idea? I don't know if I, Li Er, came up with the coup.
The first reaction in my heart was a cold snort!
But the cold snort was not really expressed on his face.
Li Er's expression was very serious.
It is true that what Pei Ji did this time was ridiculous. To put it more seriously, he was taking His Majesty and me as a scapegoat.
But on the other hand, Li Er also clearly saw...
Outside the Zhuque Gate, there was not only this Pei Ji.
Pei Ji is not alone, behind him...
There are also people who are densely packed like mountains and seas!
As the Suzaku door opened, Li Er pondered for a moment and walked out.
Then, when the people in the city saw the emperor coming out, they all kowtowed.
This scene of everyone surrendering did not make Li Er very happy. He knew very well that this time the family really made a big move.
There is a price for surrender.
The price is that you have to really solve their food and clothing problems.
Li Er did not hesitate. As soon as he left the Zhuque Gate, he asked the people to get up first.
This is a test to test the emotional state of the people in Chang'an.
Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui and others in the crowd looked at each other and sighed, fearing that this outcome would not be good.
next moment……
Sure enough, they saw that the people did not stand up, but still maintained their posture of bowing, but they started making noises one after another.
"Your Majesty, this epidemic is coming, and we are really scared!"
"Your Majesty, they say that the capital is the most virtuous place at the feet of the Emperor. Your Majesty, you cannot care whether we live or die!"
"Your Majesty, we don't ask you to arrange medicine for us, but the price of medicine in Chang'an City recently... alas, alas!"
"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter to me, but I walked hundreds of miles to come to the capital to prepare for the imperial examination. If I die, I'm afraid of my parents back home..."
…
The crowd was very noisy for a while.
Although they usually believed in Li Er, this time the people no longer restrained themselves and asked for help very seriously.
Li Er took a breath, he had actually seen this scene in history books, and more than once.
Generally speaking, if it is an ordinary offense against the imperial power, disrespect, or even rebellion, it is actually not that terrible.
But it is this kind of legitimate demands made by the people that you cannot satisfy. For the emperor as the commander-in-chief of the court, this is the most difficult thing to deal with. After all...
The hearts of the people are like water, and everyone is watching!
If you are not careful, you will be warned that "the emperor will lose his virtue" and "he will not be like a human king" in a matter of minutes...
However, Li Er was serious enough and didn't feel panic at all.
——This time, the aristocratic family came well-prepared and took advantage of the atmosphere of panic to coerce the people. Under normal circumstances, an ordinary emperor would probably have no choice but to restrain his hands.
But this time, things are really not that complicated.
The reason is very simple. Li Er knows the whole story very well, and the most important thing is...
He knew that there was no such thing as an epidemic at this time!
After the soap was forced to be promoted through strict laws, there were no more symptomatic people in Chang'an.
In fact, even if he just ignores her today, nothing will happen afterwards.
But here comes the problem. If they really lose face like this, who knows how these disgusting scholars will arrange themselves afterwards.
Now that the price of paper is so cheap, why are there so many unofficial officials and unofficial stories everywhere?
So what Li Er was struggling with was what words to use to appease the people.
But the problem now is...
But I really can't think of a better way to say it.
Unfortunately, this problem is really not a small one.
Now there are 100,000 forbidden troops outside!
People's hearts and minds are stable, this is really not something that can be fooled casually!
In fact, it is not difficult to understand. If it were easy to solve, then Wei Zheng and others would not hurriedly follow this large group of people to find themselves.
Li Er really wanted to get angry now. The Mad problem had been solved, but he was still in a dilemma.
Damn it, this emperor can no longer be king.
Right now...
Suddenly there was a small noise from the crowd, and a young child walked out of the crowd, walking quickly with short steps in front of Li Er.
Seeing a stranger approaching suddenly, the guards around him immediately drew their swords nervously, but were stopped by Li Er.
Soon, the child came to Li Er.
The people around him also noticed this situation.
"Your Majesty, there is a big brother who said his name is Shengxiang Hou. He asked me to give this to Your Majesty!"
The little boy finished speaking in a sweet voice, and then handed a bottle filled with orange-brown liquid and a note to Li Er!
…
Time goes back to ten minutes ago.
Li Sheng was handing out bonuses to the guys in Zichengzhai and discussing when to take everyone out for a team building session.
At this moment, there was suddenly a burst of noisy footsteps outside the store!
