"Ahem, cough, cough~, Marquis of Jingyang County, the deceased is the oldest," Fang Xuanling reminded.
The others also looked at Lin Xuan speechlessly.
Where is Pingkangfang?
All the brothels in Chang'an are there. How could someone like He Yu, who cares about face the most, go to a place like that?
Even if he wanted to go, he would still be powerless at such an old age.
"Haha, what Mr. Lin said is right. Your Majesty, I, Old Cheng, have also heard it." Cheng Yaojin laughed and said.
Li Shimin was a little speechless. You've heard of it. You've heard of shit. I'm afraid it was just what Lin Xuan said.
"Okay." Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "The Dali Temple will investigate how He Yu died. The most important thing now is that hundreds of scholars are carrying the coffin and kneeling outside the Suzaku Gate. The impact is very bad."
"Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty ruled the country by law. It is not up to those people to decide whether the minister is guilty or not. If everyone is like them, where will the law of the country be concerned? Those people read the books of sages, but they did this
The act of waiting to force them into the palace is simply a violation of national law, and I think they should be ordered to disperse immediately. If they continue to persist in their obsession, they will not be allowed to take the imperial examination for life." Lin Xuan said righteously and solemnly.
Some of those people kneeling outside are because of the benefits promised by the aristocratic family, and some are related to the aristocratic family.
But people are selfish, and now the selection of officials in the Tang Dynasty must pass the imperial examination. If this is done, many of those people will definitely disperse for the sake of their own future.
As long as most of the people disperse, the rest will naturally not be able to make any waves.
Li Shimin's eyes lit up, Lin Xuan's words came to his heart.
But what Lin Xuan said about banning the imperial examination for life made Li Shimin hesitate for a while. If doing so inspired those people's rebellious psychology and caused many people to come and kneel down, they couldn't ban all those people.
"Your Majesty, what the Marquis of Jingyang County said is an act that will bring disaster to the country. Your Majesty has opened up a wide range of opinions and stipulated that officials who have heard and reported are not guilty of crimes. Even if you speak like this, let alone the scholars of the world. If your Majesty really does this, then those scholars in the future will
After entering the court, how dare you make remarks easily?" Changsun Wuji said with his hands in hand.
Lin Xuan sneered and said: "What Mr. Zhao Guogong said is wrong. His Majesty decided that the official was not guilty of the impeachment in order not to be blocked. However, the reason for the acquittal was that no matter what the official was impeached, it would eventually need to be investigated.
, will not punish the crime directly. But what about those scholars? If there is any grievance, the doors of Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the county government are all open, just report it directly to the official."
"But they just carried the coffin and knelt down at the entrance of the palace. If His Majesty doesn't hold them accountable, everyone in the future will learn to follow their example, which is the way to cause chaos."
Li Shimin nodded slightly. As an emperor, he was most disgusted with the situation of forcing the emperor into the palace.
But what happened this time made him so angry that if there weren't too many people, Li Shimin would have raised the butcher's knife long ago.
Changsun Wuji's expression changed. He didn't expect Lin Xuan to be so eloquent.
"Your Majesty, the words of the Marquis of Jingyang County are too far-fetched. He is a Marquis and a Prince Consort. Even if those scholars report to the government, who can control him?" Changsun Wuji said.
Fang Xuanling shook her head secretly. Changsun Wuji was a little confused by Lin Xuan.
When Changsun Wuji said this, many people were offended.
Sure enough, as soon as Changsun Wuji finished speaking, the officials from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment looked at Changsun Wuji with dissatisfaction, their expressions a little ugly.
When you say this, don't you mean that we are afraid that powerful people will show favoritism?
The magistrate of Wannian County in Chang'an County is not present because of his insufficient rank. However, as the prince and the governor of Chang'an Prefecture, Li Chengqian will naturally not be missing on such an occasion.
Li Chengqian also looked at Changsun Wuji with some displeasure.
As soon as Changsun Wuji finished speaking, he knew that he had made a mistake.
Normally, his city would not make such a mistake.
But because of Changsun Chong's matter, he was rejected by Lin Xuan. Now that he saw that Lin Xuan was about to get out of this matter in just a few words, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Lin Xuan naturally would not miss this opportunity and said: "As the saying goes, princes who break the law are as guilty as the common people. When Zhao Guogong said this, he was questioning the fairness of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment. Could it be that Duke Zhao knew that Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment were bending the law for personal gain?
That’s what you said?”
I know shit.
Changsun Wuji scolded Lin Xuan in his heart, but he knew that if this matter was not handled well, many people would be offended.
"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. It's just that the Marquis of Jingyang County has a special status. If you report to the official, the government will inevitably have some scruples." Changsun Wuji said.
"Oh, do you think Duke Zhao Guogong thought the actions of those scholars were right?" Lin Xuan asked.
Changsun Wuji's face was a little gloomy. For the first time, he felt that Lin Xuan was so difficult to deal with. As soon as he spoke, Lin Xuan could catch the flaw in his words.
"His Majesty…"
"alright!"
Changsun Wuji was about to explain, but Li Shimin interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
"Put the rest aside in advance. The most important thing now is to disperse the scholars outside the Zhuque Gate." Li Shimin said calmly.
Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, the purpose of those scholars is the Marquis of Jingyang County, and the Marquis of Jingyang County thinks that He Daru's death has nothing to do with him, why not let the Marquis of Jingyang County tell them?"
Lin Xuan cursed secretly, he was indeed the old Yin Coin in history who had been living until Li Shimin died.
Those people were obviously coming after him, and he went to reconcile those people's wishes.
If there is any chaos or something happens, will he be able to escape?
Li Shimin looked at Lin Xuan and asked, "Do you have any way to make those people disperse?"
It is indeed a good idea to ban those people from taking part in the imperial examination.
But doing so may arouse greater public opinion. This incident has already happened for a long time. The longer it is left unattended, the more detrimental it will be to Datang's reputation.
"Your Majesty, I have a way, but it will take at least three days." Lin Xuan said.
"Three days?" Changsun Wuji sneered: "Does the Marquis of Jingyang County know what impact it will have on the Tang Dynasty after three days?"
"Haha, this is easy to handle. Just send the imperial army to drive away the people." Lin Xuan said lightly.
Ordinary people were not allowed to approach the entrance of the palace, but those scholars caused too much noise and attracted too many people, so the imperial army did not dare to mess around.
As long as the people are expelled and the imperial army is sent to guard it, the people will naturally not dare to approach.
Li Shimin was silent for a while and asked: "Are you really sure?"
"Your Majesty, I am confident." Lin Xuan nodded affirmatively and said, "But I need the cooperation of Lord Xu Jingzong."
Although he created the newspaper, Lin Xuan knew very well that Li Shimin, a weapon that could arouse public opinion, could not be controlled by him, so he had no intention of getting involved in it from the beginning.
Ask Li Shimin to send someone to take over.
Since Xu Jingzong took over, Lin Xuan has rarely participated in the management of the newspaper.
Now that he needed the newspaper's cooperation, he asked Li Shimin for instructions first and did not go to Xu Jingzong privately.
Li Shimin took a deep look at Lin Xuan and said, "Yes."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Since the establishment of a newspaper, although many people have seen the importance of a newspaper, they have not yet seen its true power.
This time Lin Xuan was ready to show them the true power of the newspaper.
