Chapter 720 The real power
"Cough cough cough~, Marquis of Jingyang County, the dead are the most important." Fang Xuanling reminded.
The rest of the people also looked at Lin Xuan speechlessly.
Where is Pingkangfang?
All the brothels in Chang'an are there, and a person like He Yu cares most about face, how could he go to that kind of place.
Even if he wanted to go, he was powerless at such an old age.
"Haha, Boy Lin is right, Your Majesty, I, Old Cheng, have heard it too." Cheng Yaojin said with a laugh.
Li Shimin was a little speechless, you've heard it, you've heard it, I'm afraid you just heard it from Lin Xuan.
"Okay." Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "After He Yu's death, Dali Temple will investigate. The most important thing now is that hundreds of scholars carry the coffin and kneel outside the Suzaku gate. The influence is very bad."
"Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty ruled the country by law. Those people can decide whether the ministers are guilty or not. If everyone is like them, where will the country's laws be placed? Those people read the books of sages and sages, but they did this. The action of forcing the palace is simply lawless, 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 awe-inspiringly.
Some of those people kneeling outside were because of the benefits promised by the family, and some were related to the family.
But people are selfish. 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 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 reached his heart.
It's just that Lin Xuan's lifelong ban on imperial examinations made Li Shimin hesitate for a while. If doing so aroused those people's rebellious psychology and caused many people to kneel and sit down, they couldn't be banned.
"Your Majesty, this statement by the Marquis of Jingyang County is a disaster for the country. Your Majesty speaks out widely and decides that the officials who heard the rumors are not guilty. If the officials are like this, let alone the scholars in the world. If Your Majesty really does this, then those scholars in the future After entering the court, how dare you speak out easily?" Changsun Wuji cupped his hands and said.
Lin Xuan sneered, and said: "Duke Zhao's words are wrong. His Majesty made it clear that officials are not guilty in order not to be deceived. However, the reason for saying that officials are not guilty is that no matter what the officials impeach, they will eventually need to be investigated. , will not punish the crime directly. And what about those scholars? If there is any grievance, the gates of Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the county government are all open, just report it directly to the officials."
"But they just carried the coffin and knelt at the gate of the palace. If His Majesty doesn't pursue it, everyone will learn to follow suit in the future. This is the way to bring about chaos."
Li Shimin nodded slightly. As an emperor, he was most disgusted by the situation of forcing the palace.
And what happened this time made him very angry. If there were not too many people, Li Shimin would have raised his butcher knife long ago.
Changsun Wuji's face changed, he didn't expect that Lin Xuan could speak so well.
"Your Majesty, the words of the Marquis of Jingyang County are too far-fetched. He is a marquis and a son-in-law. Even if those scholars report to officials, who can control him?" Changsun Wuji said.
Fang Xuanling shook his head secretly, Changsun Wuji was a little messed up by Lin Xuan.
When Changsun Wuji said this, he offended many people.
Sure enough, as soon as Changsun Wuji finished speaking, the officials of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment gave Changsun Wuji a dissatisfied look, with a somewhat unsightly look on their faces.
When you say that, doesn't it mean that we are afraid that the powerful will show favoritism.
The county magistrate of Wannian County in Chang'an County was absent because of his lack of rank, but Li Chengqian, as the crown prince and the governor of the Chang'an government office, naturally would not miss him on such occasions.
Li Chengqian also looked at Changsun Wuji with some displeasure.
As soon as Changsun Wuji finished speaking, he knew he had made a slip of the tongue.
Normally speaking, his city would not make such a mistake.
But Lin Xuan rejected the matter of Changsun Chong, and now he sees that Lin Xuan is about to get away from this matter in a few words, and he can't help feeling a little impatient.
Naturally, Lin Xuan would not let this opportunity go, and said: "As the so-called prince breaks the law and the common people are guilty of the same crime, Zhao Guogong is questioning the fairness of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment. Could it be that Zhao Guogong knows that Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment bend 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 properly, many people would be offended.
"Your Majesty, I don't mean that. It's just that the Marquis of Jingyang County has a special status. If you report to the government, the government will inevitably have scruples." Changsun Wuji said.
"Oh, according to Zhao Guogong, you think the behavior of those scholars is 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 flaws in his words.
"His Majesty…"
"All right!"
Just as Changsun Wuji was about to explain, Li Shimin interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
"Put the rest aside in advance, the most important thing right now is to let the scholars outside Suzaku's gate disperse." Li Shimin said lightly.
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 don't we let the Marquis of Jingyang County go and talk to them?"
Lin Xuan cursed secretly, he really deserves to be the old Yin coin who lived until Li Shimin's death in history.
Those people obviously came for him, and he went to make things right with them.
At that time, if there is any confusion or something happens, can he escape the responsibility?
Li Shimin looked at Lin Xuan and asked, "Is there any way for you to let those people go?"
It is indeed a good way to prohibit those people from participating in the imperial examination.
But doing so may cause greater public opinion. This incident has happened for a long time, and the longer it is entrusted, the worse it will be for Datang's reputation.
"Your Majesty, I have a solution, but it will take at least three days." Lin Xuan said.
"Three days?" Changsun Wuji sneered and said, "Do you know how the Marquis of Jingyang County will affect Datang after three days?"
"Hehe, it's easy to handle. It would be good to send the imperial army to expel the people." Lin Xuan said lightly.
Ordinary people were not allowed to approach the gate of the palace, but those scholars caused too much commotion and attracted too many people, so the imperial guards did not dare to mess around.
As long as the people are expelled and the forbidden army is sent to guard, the people will naturally not dare to approach.
Li Shimin was silent for a while, and asked, "Are you really sure?"
"Return to Your Majesty, I am sure." Lin Xuan nodded affirmatively and said, "However, I need the cooperation of Master Xu Jingzong."
Although he made the newspaper, Lin Xuan knew very well that it was impossible for Li Shimin, such a weapon that could arouse public opinion, to be in his hands, so he had no intention of getting involved in the first place.
Ask Li Shimin to send someone to take over.
Since Xu Jingzong took over, Lin Xuan rarely participated in the operation of the newspaper.
Now that the cooperation of the newspaper is needed, he first asked Li Shimin for instructions, and did not go to Xu Jingzong privately.
Li Shimin took a deep look at Lin Xuan and said, "Sure."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Since the establishment of the newspaper office, although many people have seen the importance of the newspaper office, they have not yet seen the real power of the newspaper office.
This time Lin Xuan was going to show them the real power of the newspaper.
