Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages
Chapter 168 The court is full of thieves who steal men and women!
Chapter 168 The court is full of thieves who steal men and women!
After finishing speaking, Li Gan didn't care about the ministers' reactions, got up and left.
If it was before, he didn't need to react like this, and he didn't even leave room for Gao Xun at the court meeting.
It's just that the actions of Cai Jing and others really made him too angry.
Li Gan has been busy for so long before, and he said to the imperial army to treat the people of Wu country well, and asked Yan Song and Shen to treat the victims of the disaster well, for what?
In addition to the fact that he really doesn't see the suffering of ordinary people, he also has a real sense of utilitarianism, that is, he wants to gain a good reputation for himself.
Li Gan will not deny his utilitarianism, and no one is a saint who gives selflessly.
But what Cai Jing and these bastards are doing now is to let his previous efforts go to waste!
If such rumors are spread everywhere outside, what will the people outside think of him as an emperor?
Therefore, these rat shit of Cai Jing must be taught a lesson!
In the hall, watching His Majesty's leaving back, all the officials reacted differently, but they had nothing to do.
They could only look at each other, and they scattered.
Imperial Palace, Ziwei Palace.
Li Gan listened to the reports from the old eunuch and Lu Bu, and the smile on his lips never stopped.
"Father, those old things are all in a panic!"
Lu Bu happily narrated what happened in the capital in recent days. It was the first time for him to experience the pleasure of spreading news and being behind the scenes.
All I can say is, it's extremely strong!
"Nice job."
Li Gan said with a smile: "The next thing is to restrain yourself, you can't be so unscrupulous anymore."
At today's court meeting, this matter was brought up in the open, presumably the ministers will pay more attention to the small cursive script.
Before spreading the small cursive script, it was spread out during the curfew at night, but if the same trick is repeated now, I am afraid it will be exposed.
The old eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is wise."
Lu Bu was a little bit unsatisfied, but he curled his lips and responded.
"But restraint doesn't mean saying nothing at all."
Li Gan smiled badly: "Actually, there is no need to pass word of mouth on such things as spreading cursive script, so the possibility of exposure is actually very small."
Just find a deserted alley and throw things away, and sooner or later someone will pick them up.
Even if one person who picks it up doesn't spread it everywhere, don't everyone who picks it up spread it?
This thing is hard to eradicate...
As expected by Li Gan, under the covert help of Lu Bu and others, the small cursive script incident in the capital not only did not disappear gradually, but intensified instead.
Rumors will be distorted when they are passed on, and this kind of thing is similar.
In the end, it is not only the small cursive scripts that Lu Bu and the others spread out, but also the people in the city who have some good deeds, the storytellers who want to improve their performance... These people even wrote their own small cursive scripts and the like, which went viral everywhere.
As for what's on it...
It can only be said that there is no most outrageous, only more outrageous.
What is the generalissimo's unique taste? The long-haired man that the "caterpillar" Nian Shilang likes actually came out of his house, but the two people used it in different places.
Why does a certain Lingyin actually like the little nuns in the temple the most, that's why so many Buddhist temples have been built, and he has other thoughts besides promoting Buddhism.
Why does a certain fat man like gold the most, even the things he uses in his daily life and the people he sleeps with have to be covered with gold powder, that's why he charges so much money.
What else is there that a certain prime minister actually doesn't like female sex, but has other hobbies, not that he has raised dozens of sons and daughters outside... Of course, the last one does not rule out that someone released it to prove his innocence information.
This time is different from last time. Last time, Li Gan only wrote about some useless things of some officials, and he was still in a state of restraint on the whole, but now that the people in the city are allowed to write, there is no restraint.
Basically, everyone sees who is unhappy, whoever has more scandals, whoever has interesting rumors, whoever has more scandals...
Therefore, basically all officials were affected, not even He Shen and Yan Song who went to Xingyang and Bianzhou for disaster relief.
For a while, people in the capital were in turmoil, and the common people had fun, but many officials fell into a conflicted state of mind.
On the one hand, the superior bosses and serious colleagues in the past now have gossip, and everyone is secretly delighted.
But on the other hand, rumors about him may be spread at any time, and he feels uneasy all day long.
So overall, it's painful and enjoyable.
Imperial City.
The yamen in the palace has two very large dividing lines.
The offices of Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province, two provinces located in the Inner Dynasty, are Wenyuan Pavilion and Dong Pavilion respectively. These two places are very simple.
Because at the beginning of their design, they were not intended to be used as offices for ministers.
But the many yamen in the imperial city of the outer dynasty are different.
Whether it is the Six Ministries, the Five Temples, or the offices of many forbidden troops, or even the horses in the Taipu Temple and the pigs in the Guanglu Temple, they may all have better office and living conditions than those in the two provinces of the Inner Dynasty.
In the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, the office of the priests of the ancestral temple was extremely lively today.
The priest of the shrine, the doctor, went to the Jingban Division to discuss official affairs, leaving only the main officials and officials in the hall.
There was nothing left and right, so everyone gathered together in a low voice, discussing all kinds of rumors that have been spreading wildly in recent days.
"Oh? Tell me, our Song Butang really has connections, why is he the only one who can find such a strong and strong man!" A small official lowered his voice and said excitedly.
"You're stupid!" Another little official couldn't help but said, "Didn't you say everything? These guys all came out of the Generalissimo's Mansion."
"Look at the generalissimo, isn't it our department's favorite?"
"Could it be that the Generalissimo is also involved?" The little official who spoke first had a frightened expression on his face, apparently hearing this important news for the first time.
"Of course, there might be Prime Minister Qin..."
The boss at the side often went to various restaurants and teahouses, so he heard a lot of news that others didn't know, and he was talking to a few people in a low voice at the moment.
A few people laughed while talking, it seems that discussing the privacy of the boss is a very exciting thing... Of course, it is indeed very exciting.
Just when a few people were chatting happily, there was a creaking sound of pushing the door.
Several people turned their heads to look at the same time, and found that Yuanwailang's guard room was opened, and Yuanwailang Li Gefei, who was wearing a green robe and looked haggard, was walking out of the guard room.
"Li Langzhong."
The principal and several minor officials greeted each other with a smile, and hurriedly returned to their respective positions.
"Don't talk about the private affairs of the adults in the future."
Li Gefei looked at them helplessly. These people said they were discussing privately, but he could hear the loud voice even in the value room.
If Song Qiaonian really walked by the door, he happened to hear that these people were not feeling well, and he, Yuanwailang, would not be able to eat and walk around.
"Yes, Li Langzhong, I must pay attention to you!"
Several principals and minor officials hurriedly responded, they did not dare to offend Li Gefei.
When Li Gefei first came to the Ministry of Rites, there were still many small officials below who wanted to trip him up and set up rules.
Unexpectedly, the next day, he went to have a chat with Uncle Da Zong and had lunch together, which continued for several days.
This made many petty officials lose their minds all of a sudden.
What's more, there was a gossip later, saying that this person was still related to Prime Minister Qin, which made all the small officials feel lucky that they were not in a hurry to act.
Later, Li Gefei gradually conquered many colleagues and subordinates in the Ministry of Rites by virtue of his actions and charisma.
Diligent, inquisitive, elegant and restrained, hardworking, and polite to others, he is simply a living and elegant gentleman.
Watching Li Gefei turn back to the valet, the chief sighed softly: "You said Mr. Li was such a good person when he first came here?"
"After staying in our Ritual Department for so long, why are you so haggard?"
This statement immediately won the approval of many small officials. Everyone recalled that when they first came, Li Langzhong's heroic appearance, body and hair were meticulously taken care of. If he was released, he would be a middle-aged handsome man. Chase.
Just how long has it been?
Now Li Langzhong has become unkempt, haggard all day long, and he doesn't even speak so well.
"Huh? You said, Mr. Li has a relationship with Mr. Qin, and is directly under Mr. Nian, will they..." Suddenly, a small official expressed his guess with a subtle look.
The eyes of the other people present also became more subtle.
"Ahem~" The chief stroked his short beard and cleared his throat: "You can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately."
"In the future, we should try our best not to mention such rumors without evidence."
"Yes, my lord." Several small officials responded in unison, but the strange smiles on their faces couldn't be concealed...
This is just the joy of lower-level officials, but for the upper-level officials who have been rumored, the experience is not so good.
Cai Mansion, study room.
Cai Jing's complexion was as ugly as last time. In recent days, although almost all kinds of people have been passed on the cursive script, the most popular one is the original version.
No matter how latecomers imitate, they can't go beyond the original set.
This may be strength.
So at the moment, there are three people who are most popular in cursive script in the capital, and some people even give them the title of "Three Heroes of Cursive Script".
They are "Green Leaf Shangshu", "Nian Shilang" and "Midnight Butcher".
But today, two of the three heroes gathered in this study, making the participants feel a sense of pride... No wonder.
Cai Jing looked at the two servants of the Ministry of Punishment calmly: "Why are the rumors in the city still going on all day long?"
"Can't you find out where these messy cursive scripts come from?"
After so many days of mental training, Master Cai Jingcai's request has been reduced from catching the mastermind behind the scenes to dispelling rumors.
Deng Xunwu waited for a while, seeing that Gao Xun did not speak, he said bravely, "It's hard to go back to my lord."
"In the beginning, these things were added overnight, and someone must have spilled them in the city during the curfew."
"In the past few days, our people have also let Bing Ma Si wait in the city, ambush when the curfew comes, trying to catch those thieves."
"It's just... those thieves seem to have got the news, and they never came out again."
Han Mulu, the right servant of the household department, was startled: "Brother Deng, what do you mean... there is a spy among us?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was startled, and their eyes were a little surprised.
Cai Jing frowned slightly.
"It's not necessarily a spy."
Deng Xunwu shook his head lightly: "It's possible that the group of thieves didn't dare to come out because they sensed the wind."
"It's also possible that the people on Bingmasi's side leaked the news..."
"Let's not talk about the person who first spread the news."
Cai Jing's face was serious: "The most urgent task is to eliminate all these messy rumors!"
Deng Xunwu looked distressed, cupped his hands and said: "My lord, if there is no imperial ban, I'm afraid...it will be very difficult."
Before Cai Jing could speak, he hurriedly explained: "Nowadays, there is no need for those thieves to come out and spread the papyrus. The people in the capital have started to write by themselves."
"In the past few days, I have also caught a few people who wrote cursive script. I thought they were the instigators of that night, but after the interrogation, I found out that those people just wrote it for fun and for fun."
"And these people also said that the 'butcher' and the like were just characters in the drama, and they were just writing for fun."
After what he said, everyone present gradually understood.
Ordinary people, some may not even understand who and what these nicknames refer to.
They are simply here to join in the fun.
And how many of these people who join in the fun are in the capital?
Is it possible to catch them all? ?
Therefore, without a prohibited charter, it is difficult to achieve anything.
But the problem lies in this charter!
If Bao Xuan hadn't made this matter known to the public, Cai Jing and the others would discuss it with Zhongshu Sheng, and then use some of their connections, it would be possible to issue this decree directly.
But since this matter has come to the fore, and His Majesty the Emperor has clearly stated it at the court meeting, it will be passed on, so are you more delicate than me?
How to answer this?
So the matter of the day was put on hold.
But now that rumors have spread to his face again, what should he do now?
There was silence in the study.
Cai Jing suddenly sighed, and slowly said: "It seems that His Majesty still has a grudge against the previous things..."
No need for him to explain, everyone will understand.
What Mr. Cai said must be the rumors spread before.
Many of them have witnessed it with their own eyes, and even contributed to it secretly...
"Before, the Ministry of Punishment used excuses to shirk and not punish those who were caught, but now His Majesty uses the same excuse to shirk, that is, not to ban those rumors."
They may be able to act in secret, but after all, their name is not justified.
"grown ups……"
Deng Xunwu thought for a moment, then suddenly said: "Now all officials are victims, as long as we contact a few more people, we will all give advice at the court meeting..."
Many Cai parties were taken aback, and even Cai Jing showed some emotion on his face.
Talking about Qiqi's admonition is actually similar to forcing the palace.
As long as there are enough people who co-sign, even the emperor will have to submit.
Cai Jing nodded slightly for a while, and frowned for a while, as if weighing the pros and cons of this matter.
After thinking for a while, he still shook his head: "It's not right. It's not right to go to war just for this matter."
"Don't forget what the original intention of starting this rumor is."
After hearing Cai Jing's words, everyone present nodded slowly and fell into deep thought.
What was it for?
Naturally, it is for the millions of acres of fertile land! !
It was to set off a wave of strong momentum, and then feed it back to the court, so that His Majesty the Emperor would succumb to the general trend.
Or let Yan Song and He Shen be subdued.
Seeing their silence, Cai Jing continued, "Everyone, our goal is not to spread rumors, but the situation between Xingyang and Bianzhou."
"Rumors are just a means and a process. If there is a problem in the process, it cannot be implicated in the result."
"We wrote letters together because of the rumors, and we wrote letters together when we arrived in Xingyang and Bianzhou..."
Cai Jing's eyes were serious: "It's like this one after another, it's too big to attract the wind, and it's easy to attract the attention of others."
The party members were silent, and they all understood what he meant.
Only Gao Xun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened his mouth at this moment: "My lord, if other people start to speak up, can we follow behind them?"
This also makes sense.
After all, they are not the only ones affected this time, and many officials are also suffering from these rumors.
Many other Cai parties also looked at Cai Jing, waiting for his words.
Cai Jing was silent for a moment, and then said: "If you want to write a letter together, you must convict those who spread rumors about His Majesty."
This statement is very direct, and many officials of the Tsai Party cannot refute it.
There is no reason for those who made rumors about the emperor to be at large, so we must first deal with those who made rumors about the ministers.
"Then get ready to deal with it."
Cai Jing sighed again, shook his head lightly and said, "How many people in the city still remember what was said before?"
People's memory has a time limit. With so many new hot spots, who can remember the previous things?
Besides, compared with things like Green Leaf Books and caterpillars, the matter of the emperor transporting gold, silver and treasures from Xingyang is really unremarkable and old-fashioned.
The common people may have heard countless similar rumors, how can they be as fresh and exciting as the former?
"Even if we don't deal with it, if there are other officials who write a letter together, we will become a stumbling block for them."
Tsai party officials had mixed reactions, but most nodded lightly.
"Master Cai's words are very true."
Gao Xun nodded with a smile: "Previously, the officials and the others were fascinated by the rumors, thanks to Mr. Cai, who was calm in the face of danger and gave us some guidance."
"It's really the magic needle of Dinghai for the lower officials!"
A smile appeared on the corner of Cai Jing's mouth: "The theory of Dinghaishenzhen is still over..."
"I won't pass, I won't pass."
"Yes, Mr. Cai is fully worthy of it!"
"Master Cai's painstaking presentation of the pros and cons is truly enlightening..."
Amidst the sound of the 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 really raised the issue of banning "little cursive script" again.
But today's advocate 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 is faint, and the bright red Panlong pillars cast shadows.
Wei Zheng came out in front, dressed in a red official robe, with a straight back, holding a wat board, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, because of these rumors, the hearts of the people in the city are fluttering, and some people even don't work, just play with these so-called 'little cursive scripts' .”
"The hearts of the people are like water, and the people's actions are like smoke. I hope His Majesty will pay attention to this matter. I think that there may be spies from other countries behind this matter. This matter must be guarded against!"
Wei Zheng cupped his hands with a serious face and said, "Nowadays, the common people think that the ministers in the court are all full-fledged thieves, male thieves and female prostitutes. If things go on like this, the consequences will be disastrous."
The ministers almost fainted.
Could you please say something nice?
What do you mean by a full stomach?Male robbers and female prostitutes?
Li Gan was also taken aback, wondering who leaked such a big secret?
what?
It turned out to be me, that's okay!
At present, the ministers of the court, no matter who said that rumors should be banned, he would disdain, but only Wei Zheng said that Li Qian would not be angry.
Because before those bastards in Cai Jing made rumors about Li Gan, Wei Zheng also stood up to stop him, and said that if the Ministry of Punishment dared not interrogate him, he could hand over the matter to Yushitai for interrogation.
It's just that although the Sanfa Division is called the Sanfa Division, in fact the work of trying cases is mainly done by the Ministry of Criminal Justice or Dali Temple, and Yushitai still plays a supervisory role in it.
At that time, those criminals were firmly in the hands of the Criminal Ministry, and it was very difficult for others to intervene.
So after Wei Zheng worked hard, he still failed.
But Li Gan still remembered his kindness, so after Wei Zheng finished speaking, Li Gan did not speak in a hurry, but nodded slowly, looking at the other ministers.
Li Yuan also stood up suddenly, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I don't think this stubbornness will last long!"
"It's a good thing for the common people to take advantage of this time for entertainment and entertainment. Your Majesty's sympathy for the people is also an act of kindness and a good thing."
"However, this matter has been used by people with a heart to discredit the court and do evil. This is the beginning of the disaster!"
Li Qian looked at this smeared uncle, somewhat guilty.
He just made up a small rumor at first, but he didn't expect that the rumor would be so powerful that it directly pulled Li Yuan into the position of "Three Heroes of Cursive Script".
Presumably this guy is also very frustrated recently, right?
As Li Yuan spoke, other officials who had suffered from the cursive script also spoke out, denouncing the harm of this thing.
"Your Majesty, this matter has all kinds of harm and no benefit, and I hope that His Majesty will ban this matter!"
"We need to catch Xiao Xiao who is behind the scenes, maybe this person is a spy of Yuan Kingdom!"
"Your Majesty, if I don't severely punish this kind of person who jumps up and down behind the scenes, what is the majesty of me..."
All the ministers in scarlet robes blew their beards and stared. They seemed to have finally found a way to vent their frustration after so many days.
Even Jing Zhaoyi and Wang Jin, who never liked to talk, spoke up this time, and couldn't help berating those unscrupulous little cursive scripts.
His lord Wang is very devout to the Buddha, how could there be any nuns?
Impossible, it's just groundless!
A group of Cai Jing's henchmen also mixed in with many ministers, very smooth, without any trace.
Looking at the excited ministers below, Li Qian knew that the fire was coming.
He turned his head and glanced at the old eunuch standing beside him, and the old eunuch immediately understood.
"Quiet!" He uttered his voice, and all the officials knew that His Majesty the Emperor had probably made a decision, so they all fell silent.
Li Gan frowned slightly: "Why are you all like this? Are the rumors in the capital really so presumptuous?"
"And let the people think that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are all thieves? What kind of rumor is this?"
"Eh..." All the officials remained silent, and they all stopped the heroic gesture of pulling their necks and screaming just now.
Just as Wei Zheng was about to explain, Li Yuan suddenly said with a dark face: "Your Majesty, no matter what kind of rumors are true, they should be banned."
"Someone spread rumors in the capital before, but the Ministry of Punishment did not punish them, which fueled the arrogance of these thieves!"
"I think the Ministry of Punishment has committed dereliction of duty!"
Li Yuan directly categorized those who spread rumors and those who now write cursive script into one category.
Li Gan was startled when he heard the words, and nodded slowly.
But before he opened his mouth, Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun 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, earlier I thought that those thieves who spoke falsely about the emperor were not something I could hear, so I didn't dare to try those people rashly."
"Now that His Majesty has ordered it, and the rumors in the capital are being banned again and again, I think that the thieves who started the rumors should be severely punished."
Li Gan nodded expressionlessly, but felt a little disdainful in his heart.
The rumors you spread have long been forgotten by others, and now you think about punishing those people, why did you go so early?
And according to this bastard surnamed Deng, it seems that Li Gan doesn't know what's good and what's wrong.
"Then what do you think should be severely punished?"
Deng Xunwu was taken aback for a moment, obviously he did not expect Li Gan to ask this.
"Your Majesty..." He only paused for a moment, and then replied: "If the minister thinks the crime is serious, he should be sentenced to beheading, hanged or sent to the frontier for exile, and for the lighter one, he will be punished with a stick and other punishments according to his behavior."
"Yes." Li Qian nodded lightly: "After the verdict, it will be handed over to Dali Temple for review."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Deng Xunwu clapped his hands back.
"The minister leads the decree." Yan Maoqing also jumped out and replied impatiently.
The previous rumors not only discredited Li Gan, but also secretly stabbed He Shen and Yan Song.
Yan Maoqing had long wanted to punish those people severely and show loyalty to Yan Song, but this case has been pinched in the hands of the Ministry of Punishment.
Now that he has finally caught the opportunity, how can he not make a good effort?
Now that the previous rumors have been dealt with, it's time to deal with the latest rumors.
Li Gan looked at the many officials, frowned and said: "It seems that the Qing family is deeply affected by this rumor, and I am also a little curious."
The ministers put their hearts into their throats again, but fortunately, His Majesty's words only ended here, and did not continue.
Li Qian sighed softly: "Actually, I am also a victim of rumors in the city, and I can understand your difficulties."
"Since all the gentlemen have said so, it would be better to ban those little cursive scripts."
All the ministers breathed a sigh of relief and called out, "Your Majesty is wise."
Li Qian looked at their expressions, and suddenly changed the subject: "But I think what the emperor said is also reasonable."
Li Yuan raised his head in confusion, what makes sense?
Li Qian pretended not to see him, and continued: "It's a good thing for the people to use this for entertainment, but the bad thing is that they are used by those who want to."
He went on to say: "Defending the mouth of the people is worse than preventing the river. I think that blocking is better than dredging. When the ancient emperor Dayu controlled the water, he also used dredging instead of blocking. Only then can we have the torrential water veins we have today, and benefit the people. .”
The ministers continued to look at His Majesty the Emperor, not understanding what kind of medicine he was rambling about for a while, what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.
Only a few people seemed to have noticed some signs, and they frowned.
Li Gan went on to say: "Nowadays the people are happy with this matter, but the imperial court directly prohibits it. It will be like when a flood comes, but it is only blocked but not cleared. Over time, there will be mistakes."
"So, I decided to set up another yamen in the imperial city to collect these small straw papers from the people, extract them and submit them to me."
He smiled and looked at the many ministers present: "This can be regarded as a channel for the common people to speak out. I also need to know what the common people think and think!"
The ministers' scalps felt numb in an instant, what do you see those things for?Are you kidding us?
"Your Majesty, there has never been such a case in the ancestral system, and please take it back." Cai Jing bowed first with his old face turning green.
Qin Hui also couldn't help standing up, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, it is already difficult for the court to deal with government affairs all day long, and now with the cursive script of the common people, it is even more difficult to handle."
"Don't worry."
Li Gan said with a smile: "I didn't say that the court should deal with it."
"It's troublesome enough for the noble families of the imperial court to deal with state affairs every day. Let me handle this trivial matter by myself. No matter how hard it is, it doesn't matter."
Let him say this, the ministers were even more unhappy, and they wanted to argue with their necks.
It's just that Li Gan had expected their reaction long ago, he cleared his throat, and said: "My dears, since this matter has been brought up at the court meeting and has been mentioned twice, the rumors and cursive scripts you mentioned must be It's gotten very serious."
He said solemnly: "Nowadays the common people are talking about this matter, if they 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 understand diction, and what they write is also unbearably vulgar."
"There are a lot of people in the capital, and the good and the bad are even more mixed. If someone with evil intentions deceives His Majesty, it will be hard to guard against."
"Prime Minister Qin's words are wrong." Wei Zheng said suddenly.
Qin Hui wanted to continue, but after hearing this, he held back the words and turned to look at Wei Zheng with a smile: "I don't know what Dr. Wei's opinion is?"
Wei Zheng said bluntly: "If you listen to both, you will be enlightened, and if you listen to one side, you will be dark. Prime Minister Qin, don't the words of the common people count as the way of speech?"
"Anyone in the world, as long as his words can reach the ears of the emperor and help the emperor, he can be regarded as a way of speaking, and he will be of great help to me."
Wei Zheng is the chief speaker, and Qin Hui is at a disadvantage in arguing with him.
But Qin Hui is not a simple role, he said with a light smile: "Doctor Wei, the speakers are all talented people selected by the court, so they can naturally speak to His Majesty."
"But if the people outside are allowed to write those messy things at once, not only are most of them conjectures, but there is no one truth in a hundred falsehoods. Reading so many documents every day will be even more of a drag on Your Majesty's dragon body."
"Doctor Wei is better to be cautious."
Li Gan looked at the argument between the two and smiled slightly.
Whenever this kind of thing is brought up, there will be resistance. Fortunately, he is somewhat prepared today.
(End of this chapter)
After finishing speaking, Li Gan didn't care about the ministers' reactions, got up and left.
If it was before, he didn't need to react like this, and he didn't even leave room for Gao Xun at the court meeting.
It's just that the actions of Cai Jing and others really made him too angry.
Li Gan has been busy for so long before, and he said to the imperial army to treat the people of Wu country well, and asked Yan Song and Shen to treat the victims of the disaster well, for what?
In addition to the fact that he really doesn't see the suffering of ordinary people, he also has a real sense of utilitarianism, that is, he wants to gain a good reputation for himself.
Li Gan will not deny his utilitarianism, and no one is a saint who gives selflessly.
But what Cai Jing and these bastards are doing now is to let his previous efforts go to waste!
If such rumors are spread everywhere outside, what will the people outside think of him as an emperor?
Therefore, these rat shit of Cai Jing must be taught a lesson!
In the hall, watching His Majesty's leaving back, all the officials reacted differently, but they had nothing to do.
They could only look at each other, and they scattered.
Imperial Palace, Ziwei Palace.
Li Gan listened to the reports from the old eunuch and Lu Bu, and the smile on his lips never stopped.
"Father, those old things are all in a panic!"
Lu Bu happily narrated what happened in the capital in recent days. It was the first time for him to experience the pleasure of spreading news and being behind the scenes.
All I can say is, it's extremely strong!
"Nice job."
Li Gan said with a smile: "The next thing is to restrain yourself, you can't be so unscrupulous anymore."
At today's court meeting, this matter was brought up in the open, presumably the ministers will pay more attention to the small cursive script.
Before spreading the small cursive script, it was spread out during the curfew at night, but if the same trick is repeated now, I am afraid it will be exposed.
The old eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is wise."
Lu Bu was a little bit unsatisfied, but he curled his lips and responded.
"But restraint doesn't mean saying nothing at all."
Li Gan smiled badly: "Actually, there is no need to pass word of mouth on such things as spreading cursive script, so the possibility of exposure is actually very small."
Just find a deserted alley and throw things away, and sooner or later someone will pick them up.
Even if one person who picks it up doesn't spread it everywhere, don't everyone who picks it up spread it?
This thing is hard to eradicate...
As expected by Li Gan, under the covert help of Lu Bu and others, the small cursive script incident in the capital not only did not disappear gradually, but intensified instead.
Rumors will be distorted when they are passed on, and this kind of thing is similar.
In the end, it is not only the small cursive scripts that Lu Bu and the others spread out, but also the people in the city who have some good deeds, the storytellers who want to improve their performance... These people even wrote their own small cursive scripts and the like, which went viral everywhere.
As for what's on it...
It can only be said that there is no most outrageous, only more outrageous.
What is the generalissimo's unique taste? The long-haired man that the "caterpillar" Nian Shilang likes actually came out of his house, but the two people used it in different places.
Why does a certain Lingyin actually like the little nuns in the temple the most, that's why so many Buddhist temples have been built, and he has other thoughts besides promoting Buddhism.
Why does a certain fat man like gold the most, even the things he uses in his daily life and the people he sleeps with have to be covered with gold powder, that's why he charges so much money.
What else is there that a certain prime minister actually doesn't like female sex, but has other hobbies, not that he has raised dozens of sons and daughters outside... Of course, the last one does not rule out that someone released it to prove his innocence information.
This time is different from last time. Last time, Li Gan only wrote about some useless things of some officials, and he was still in a state of restraint on the whole, but now that the people in the city are allowed to write, there is no restraint.
Basically, everyone sees who is unhappy, whoever has more scandals, whoever has interesting rumors, whoever has more scandals...
Therefore, basically all officials were affected, not even He Shen and Yan Song who went to Xingyang and Bianzhou for disaster relief.
For a while, people in the capital were in turmoil, and the common people had fun, but many officials fell into a conflicted state of mind.
On the one hand, the superior bosses and serious colleagues in the past now have gossip, and everyone is secretly delighted.
But on the other hand, rumors about him may be spread at any time, and he feels uneasy all day long.
So overall, it's painful and enjoyable.
Imperial City.
The yamen in the palace has two very large dividing lines.
The offices of Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province, two provinces located in the Inner Dynasty, are Wenyuan Pavilion and Dong Pavilion respectively. These two places are very simple.
Because at the beginning of their design, they were not intended to be used as offices for ministers.
But the many yamen in the imperial city of the outer dynasty are different.
Whether it is the Six Ministries, the Five Temples, or the offices of many forbidden troops, or even the horses in the Taipu Temple and the pigs in the Guanglu Temple, they may all have better office and living conditions than those in the two provinces of the Inner Dynasty.
In the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, the office of the priests of the ancestral temple was extremely lively today.
The priest of the shrine, the doctor, went to the Jingban Division to discuss official affairs, leaving only the main officials and officials in the hall.
There was nothing left and right, so everyone gathered together in a low voice, discussing all kinds of rumors that have been spreading wildly in recent days.
"Oh? Tell me, our Song Butang really has connections, why is he the only one who can find such a strong and strong man!" A small official lowered his voice and said excitedly.
"You're stupid!" Another little official couldn't help but said, "Didn't you say everything? These guys all came out of the Generalissimo's Mansion."
"Look at the generalissimo, isn't it our department's favorite?"
"Could it be that the Generalissimo is also involved?" The little official who spoke first had a frightened expression on his face, apparently hearing this important news for the first time.
"Of course, there might be Prime Minister Qin..."
The boss at the side often went to various restaurants and teahouses, so he heard a lot of news that others didn't know, and he was talking to a few people in a low voice at the moment.
A few people laughed while talking, it seems that discussing the privacy of the boss is a very exciting thing... Of course, it is indeed very exciting.
Just when a few people were chatting happily, there was a creaking sound of pushing the door.
Several people turned their heads to look at the same time, and found that Yuanwailang's guard room was opened, and Yuanwailang Li Gefei, who was wearing a green robe and looked haggard, was walking out of the guard room.
"Li Langzhong."
The principal and several minor officials greeted each other with a smile, and hurriedly returned to their respective positions.
"Don't talk about the private affairs of the adults in the future."
Li Gefei looked at them helplessly. These people said they were discussing privately, but he could hear the loud voice even in the value room.
If Song Qiaonian really walked by the door, he happened to hear that these people were not feeling well, and he, Yuanwailang, would not be able to eat and walk around.
"Yes, Li Langzhong, I must pay attention to you!"
Several principals and minor officials hurriedly responded, they did not dare to offend Li Gefei.
When Li Gefei first came to the Ministry of Rites, there were still many small officials below who wanted to trip him up and set up rules.
Unexpectedly, the next day, he went to have a chat with Uncle Da Zong and had lunch together, which continued for several days.
This made many petty officials lose their minds all of a sudden.
What's more, there was a gossip later, saying that this person was still related to Prime Minister Qin, which made all the small officials feel lucky that they were not in a hurry to act.
Later, Li Gefei gradually conquered many colleagues and subordinates in the Ministry of Rites by virtue of his actions and charisma.
Diligent, inquisitive, elegant and restrained, hardworking, and polite to others, he is simply a living and elegant gentleman.
Watching Li Gefei turn back to the valet, the chief sighed softly: "You said Mr. Li was such a good person when he first came here?"
"After staying in our Ritual Department for so long, why are you so haggard?"
This statement immediately won the approval of many small officials. Everyone recalled that when they first came, Li Langzhong's heroic appearance, body and hair were meticulously taken care of. If he was released, he would be a middle-aged handsome man. Chase.
Just how long has it been?
Now Li Langzhong has become unkempt, haggard all day long, and he doesn't even speak so well.
"Huh? You said, Mr. Li has a relationship with Mr. Qin, and is directly under Mr. Nian, will they..." Suddenly, a small official expressed his guess with a subtle look.
The eyes of the other people present also became more subtle.
"Ahem~" The chief stroked his short beard and cleared his throat: "You can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately."
"In the future, we should try our best not to mention such rumors without evidence."
"Yes, my lord." Several small officials responded in unison, but the strange smiles on their faces couldn't be concealed...
This is just the joy of lower-level officials, but for the upper-level officials who have been rumored, the experience is not so good.
Cai Mansion, study room.
Cai Jing's complexion was as ugly as last time. In recent days, although almost all kinds of people have been passed on the cursive script, the most popular one is the original version.
No matter how latecomers imitate, they can't go beyond the original set.
This may be strength.
So at the moment, there are three people who are most popular in cursive script in the capital, and some people even give them the title of "Three Heroes of Cursive Script".
They are "Green Leaf Shangshu", "Nian Shilang" and "Midnight Butcher".
But today, two of the three heroes gathered in this study, making the participants feel a sense of pride... No wonder.
Cai Jing looked at the two servants of the Ministry of Punishment calmly: "Why are the rumors in the city still going on all day long?"
"Can't you find out where these messy cursive scripts come from?"
After so many days of mental training, Master Cai Jingcai's request has been reduced from catching the mastermind behind the scenes to dispelling rumors.
Deng Xunwu waited for a while, seeing that Gao Xun did not speak, he said bravely, "It's hard to go back to my lord."
"In the beginning, these things were added overnight, and someone must have spilled them in the city during the curfew."
"In the past few days, our people have also let Bing Ma Si wait in the city, ambush when the curfew comes, trying to catch those thieves."
"It's just... those thieves seem to have got the news, and they never came out again."
Han Mulu, the right servant of the household department, was startled: "Brother Deng, what do you mean... there is a spy among us?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was startled, and their eyes were a little surprised.
Cai Jing frowned slightly.
"It's not necessarily a spy."
Deng Xunwu shook his head lightly: "It's possible that the group of thieves didn't dare to come out because they sensed the wind."
"It's also possible that the people on Bingmasi's side leaked the news..."
"Let's not talk about the person who first spread the news."
Cai Jing's face was serious: "The most urgent task is to eliminate all these messy rumors!"
Deng Xunwu looked distressed, cupped his hands and said: "My lord, if there is no imperial ban, I'm afraid...it will be very difficult."
Before Cai Jing could speak, he hurriedly explained: "Nowadays, there is no need for those thieves to come out and spread the papyrus. The people in the capital have started to write by themselves."
"In the past few days, I have also caught a few people who wrote cursive script. I thought they were the instigators of that night, but after the interrogation, I found out that those people just wrote it for fun and for fun."
"And these people also said that the 'butcher' and the like were just characters in the drama, and they were just writing for fun."
After what he said, everyone present gradually understood.
Ordinary people, some may not even understand who and what these nicknames refer to.
They are simply here to join in the fun.
And how many of these people who join in the fun are in the capital?
Is it possible to catch them all? ?
Therefore, without a prohibited charter, it is difficult to achieve anything.
But the problem lies in this charter!
If Bao Xuan hadn't made this matter known to the public, Cai Jing and the others would discuss it with Zhongshu Sheng, and then use some of their connections, it would be possible to issue this decree directly.
But since this matter has come to the fore, and His Majesty the Emperor has clearly stated it at the court meeting, it will be passed on, so are you more delicate than me?
How to answer this?
So the matter of the day was put on hold.
But now that rumors have spread to his face again, what should he do now?
There was silence in the study.
Cai Jing suddenly sighed, and slowly said: "It seems that His Majesty still has a grudge against the previous things..."
No need for him to explain, everyone will understand.
What Mr. Cai said must be the rumors spread before.
Many of them have witnessed it with their own eyes, and even contributed to it secretly...
"Before, the Ministry of Punishment used excuses to shirk and not punish those who were caught, but now His Majesty uses the same excuse to shirk, that is, not to ban those rumors."
They may be able to act in secret, but after all, their name is not justified.
"grown ups……"
Deng Xunwu thought for a moment, then suddenly said: "Now all officials are victims, as long as we contact a few more people, we will all give advice at the court meeting..."
Many Cai parties were taken aback, and even Cai Jing showed some emotion on his face.
Talking about Qiqi's admonition is actually similar to forcing the palace.
As long as there are enough people who co-sign, even the emperor will have to submit.
Cai Jing nodded slightly for a while, and frowned for a while, as if weighing the pros and cons of this matter.
After thinking for a while, he still shook his head: "It's not right. It's not right to go to war just for this matter."
"Don't forget what the original intention of starting this rumor is."
After hearing Cai Jing's words, everyone present nodded slowly and fell into deep thought.
What was it for?
Naturally, it is for the millions of acres of fertile land! !
It was to set off a wave of strong momentum, and then feed it back to the court, so that His Majesty the Emperor would succumb to the general trend.
Or let Yan Song and He Shen be subdued.
Seeing their silence, Cai Jing continued, "Everyone, our goal is not to spread rumors, but the situation between Xingyang and Bianzhou."
"Rumors are just a means and a process. If there is a problem in the process, it cannot be implicated in the result."
"We wrote letters together because of the rumors, and we wrote letters together when we arrived in Xingyang and Bianzhou..."
Cai Jing's eyes were serious: "It's like this one after another, it's too big to attract the wind, and it's easy to attract the attention of others."
The party members were silent, and they all understood what he meant.
Only Gao Xun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened his mouth at this moment: "My lord, if other people start to speak up, can we follow behind them?"
This also makes sense.
After all, they are not the only ones affected this time, and many officials are also suffering from these rumors.
Many other Cai parties also looked at Cai Jing, waiting for his words.
Cai Jing was silent for a moment, and then said: "If you want to write a letter together, you must convict those who spread rumors about His Majesty."
This statement is very direct, and many officials of the Tsai Party cannot refute it.
There is no reason for those who made rumors about the emperor to be at large, so we must first deal with those who made rumors about the ministers.
"Then get ready to deal with it."
Cai Jing sighed again, shook his head lightly and said, "How many people in the city still remember what was said before?"
People's memory has a time limit. With so many new hot spots, who can remember the previous things?
Besides, compared with things like Green Leaf Books and caterpillars, the matter of the emperor transporting gold, silver and treasures from Xingyang is really unremarkable and old-fashioned.
The common people may have heard countless similar rumors, how can they be as fresh and exciting as the former?
"Even if we don't deal with it, if there are other officials who write a letter together, we will become a stumbling block for them."
Tsai party officials had mixed reactions, but most nodded lightly.
"Master Cai's words are very true."
Gao Xun nodded with a smile: "Previously, the officials and the others were fascinated by the rumors, thanks to Mr. Cai, who was calm in the face of danger and gave us some guidance."
"It's really the magic needle of Dinghai for the lower officials!"
A smile appeared on the corner of Cai Jing's mouth: "The theory of Dinghaishenzhen is still over..."
"I won't pass, I won't pass."
"Yes, Mr. Cai is fully worthy of it!"
"Master Cai's painstaking presentation of the pros and cons is truly enlightening..."
Amidst the sound of the 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 really raised the issue of banning "little cursive script" again.
But today's advocate 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 is faint, and the bright red Panlong pillars cast shadows.
Wei Zheng came out in front, dressed in a red official robe, with a straight back, holding a wat board, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, because of these rumors, the hearts of the people in the city are fluttering, and some people even don't work, just play with these so-called 'little cursive scripts' .”
"The hearts of the people are like water, and the people's actions are like smoke. I hope His Majesty will pay attention to this matter. I think that there may be spies from other countries behind this matter. This matter must be guarded against!"
Wei Zheng cupped his hands with a serious face and said, "Nowadays, the common people think that the ministers in the court are all full-fledged thieves, male thieves and female prostitutes. If things go on like this, the consequences will be disastrous."
The ministers almost fainted.
Could you please say something nice?
What do you mean by a full stomach?Male robbers and female prostitutes?
Li Gan was also taken aback, wondering who leaked such a big secret?
what?
It turned out to be me, that's okay!
At present, the ministers of the court, no matter who said that rumors should be banned, he would disdain, but only Wei Zheng said that Li Qian would not be angry.
Because before those bastards in Cai Jing made rumors about Li Gan, Wei Zheng also stood up to stop him, and said that if the Ministry of Punishment dared not interrogate him, he could hand over the matter to Yushitai for interrogation.
It's just that although the Sanfa Division is called the Sanfa Division, in fact the work of trying cases is mainly done by the Ministry of Criminal Justice or Dali Temple, and Yushitai still plays a supervisory role in it.
At that time, those criminals were firmly in the hands of the Criminal Ministry, and it was very difficult for others to intervene.
So after Wei Zheng worked hard, he still failed.
But Li Gan still remembered his kindness, so after Wei Zheng finished speaking, Li Gan did not speak in a hurry, but nodded slowly, looking at the other ministers.
Li Yuan also stood up suddenly, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I don't think this stubbornness will last long!"
"It's a good thing for the common people to take advantage of this time for entertainment and entertainment. Your Majesty's sympathy for the people is also an act of kindness and a good thing."
"However, this matter has been used by people with a heart to discredit the court and do evil. This is the beginning of the disaster!"
Li Qian looked at this smeared uncle, somewhat guilty.
He just made up a small rumor at first, but he didn't expect that the rumor would be so powerful that it directly pulled Li Yuan into the position of "Three Heroes of Cursive Script".
Presumably this guy is also very frustrated recently, right?
As Li Yuan spoke, other officials who had suffered from the cursive script also spoke out, denouncing the harm of this thing.
"Your Majesty, this matter has all kinds of harm and no benefit, and I hope that His Majesty will ban this matter!"
"We need to catch Xiao Xiao who is behind the scenes, maybe this person is a spy of Yuan Kingdom!"
"Your Majesty, if I don't severely punish this kind of person who jumps up and down behind the scenes, what is the majesty of me..."
All the ministers in scarlet robes blew their beards and stared. They seemed to have finally found a way to vent their frustration after so many days.
Even Jing Zhaoyi and Wang Jin, who never liked to talk, spoke up this time, and couldn't help berating those unscrupulous little cursive scripts.
His lord Wang is very devout to the Buddha, how could there be any nuns?
Impossible, it's just groundless!
A group of Cai Jing's henchmen also mixed in with many ministers, very smooth, without any trace.
Looking at the excited ministers below, Li Qian knew that the fire was coming.
He turned his head and glanced at the old eunuch standing beside him, and the old eunuch immediately understood.
"Quiet!" He uttered his voice, and all the officials knew that His Majesty the Emperor had probably made a decision, so they all fell silent.
Li Gan frowned slightly: "Why are you all like this? Are the rumors in the capital really so presumptuous?"
"And let the people think that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are all thieves? What kind of rumor is this?"
"Eh..." All the officials remained silent, and they all stopped the heroic gesture of pulling their necks and screaming just now.
Just as Wei Zheng was about to explain, Li Yuan suddenly said with a dark face: "Your Majesty, no matter what kind of rumors are true, they should be banned."
"Someone spread rumors in the capital before, but the Ministry of Punishment did not punish them, which fueled the arrogance of these thieves!"
"I think the Ministry of Punishment has committed dereliction of duty!"
Li Yuan directly categorized those who spread rumors and those who now write cursive script into one category.
Li Gan was startled when he heard the words, and nodded slowly.
But before he opened his mouth, Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun 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, earlier I thought that those thieves who spoke falsely about the emperor were not something I could hear, so I didn't dare to try those people rashly."
"Now that His Majesty has ordered it, and the rumors in the capital are being banned again and again, I think that the thieves who started the rumors should be severely punished."
Li Gan nodded expressionlessly, but felt a little disdainful in his heart.
The rumors you spread have long been forgotten by others, and now you think about punishing those people, why did you go so early?
And according to this bastard surnamed Deng, it seems that Li Gan doesn't know what's good and what's wrong.
"Then what do you think should be severely punished?"
Deng Xunwu was taken aback for a moment, obviously he did not expect Li Gan to ask this.
"Your Majesty..." He only paused for a moment, and then replied: "If the minister thinks the crime is serious, he should be sentenced to beheading, hanged or sent to the frontier for exile, and for the lighter one, he will be punished with a stick and other punishments according to his behavior."
"Yes." Li Qian nodded lightly: "After the verdict, it will be handed over to Dali Temple for review."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Deng Xunwu clapped his hands back.
"The minister leads the decree." Yan Maoqing also jumped out and replied impatiently.
The previous rumors not only discredited Li Gan, but also secretly stabbed He Shen and Yan Song.
Yan Maoqing had long wanted to punish those people severely and show loyalty to Yan Song, but this case has been pinched in the hands of the Ministry of Punishment.
Now that he has finally caught the opportunity, how can he not make a good effort?
Now that the previous rumors have been dealt with, it's time to deal with the latest rumors.
Li Gan looked at the many officials, frowned and said: "It seems that the Qing family is deeply affected by this rumor, and I am also a little curious."
The ministers put their hearts into their throats again, but fortunately, His Majesty's words only ended here, and did not continue.
Li Qian sighed softly: "Actually, I am also a victim of rumors in the city, and I can understand your difficulties."
"Since all the gentlemen have said so, it would be better to ban those little cursive scripts."
All the ministers breathed a sigh of relief and called out, "Your Majesty is wise."
Li Qian looked at their expressions, and suddenly changed the subject: "But I think what the emperor said is also reasonable."
Li Yuan raised his head in confusion, what makes sense?
Li Qian pretended not to see him, and continued: "It's a good thing for the people to use this for entertainment, but the bad thing is that they are used by those who want to."
He went on to say: "Defending the mouth of the people is worse than preventing the river. I think that blocking is better than dredging. When the ancient emperor Dayu controlled the water, he also used dredging instead of blocking. Only then can we have the torrential water veins we have today, and benefit the people. .”
The ministers continued to look at His Majesty the Emperor, not understanding what kind of medicine he was rambling about for a while, what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.
Only a few people seemed to have noticed some signs, and they frowned.
Li Gan went on to say: "Nowadays the people are happy with this matter, but the imperial court directly prohibits it. It will be like when a flood comes, but it is only blocked but not cleared. Over time, there will be mistakes."
"So, I decided to set up another yamen in the imperial city to collect these small straw papers from the people, extract them and submit them to me."
He smiled and looked at the many ministers present: "This can be regarded as a channel for the common people to speak out. I also need to know what the common people think and think!"
The ministers' scalps felt numb in an instant, what do you see those things for?Are you kidding us?
"Your Majesty, there has never been such a case in the ancestral system, and please take it back." Cai Jing bowed first with his old face turning green.
Qin Hui also couldn't help standing up, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, it is already difficult for the court to deal with government affairs all day long, and now with the cursive script of the common people, it is even more difficult to handle."
"Don't worry."
Li Gan said with a smile: "I didn't say that the court should deal with it."
"It's troublesome enough for the noble families of the imperial court to deal with state affairs every day. Let me handle this trivial matter by myself. No matter how hard it is, it doesn't matter."
Let him say this, the ministers were even more unhappy, and they wanted to argue with their necks.
It's just that Li Gan had expected their reaction long ago, he cleared his throat, and said: "My dears, since this matter has been brought up at the court meeting and has been mentioned twice, the rumors and cursive scripts you mentioned must be It's gotten very serious."
He said solemnly: "Nowadays the common people are talking about this matter, if they 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 understand diction, and what they write is also unbearably vulgar."
"There are a lot of people in the capital, and the good and the bad are even more mixed. If someone with evil intentions deceives His Majesty, it will be hard to guard against."
"Prime Minister Qin's words are wrong." Wei Zheng said suddenly.
Qin Hui wanted to continue, but after hearing this, he held back the words and turned to look at Wei Zheng with a smile: "I don't know what Dr. Wei's opinion is?"
Wei Zheng said bluntly: "If you listen to both, you will be enlightened, and if you listen to one side, you will be dark. Prime Minister Qin, don't the words of the common people count as the way of speech?"
"Anyone in the world, as long as his words can reach the ears of the emperor and help the emperor, he can be regarded as a way of speaking, and he will be of great help to me."
Wei Zheng is the chief speaker, and Qin Hui is at a disadvantage in arguing with him.
But Qin Hui is not a simple role, he said with a light smile: "Doctor Wei, the speakers are all talented people selected by the court, so they can naturally speak to His Majesty."
"But if the people outside are allowed to write those messy things at once, not only are most of them conjectures, but there is no one truth in a hundred falsehoods. Reading so many documents every day will be even more of a drag on Your Majesty's dragon body."
"Doctor Wei is better to be cautious."
Li Gan looked at the argument between the two and smiled slightly.
Whenever this kind of thing is brought up, there will be resistance. Fortunately, he is somewhat prepared today.
