Chapter 177: Guilty Edict

Zhao Tiannan will be so angry, of course, it is not because of the rumors in the market, the content of the rumors is too terrifying, and now people dare to stab Zhao Tiannan here.

The reason why he didn't control his temper was because there was one thing mentioned in the notes handed over in the past two days.

Because of the particularity of Fengming Pavilion, Fengming Pavilion in various places has become the favorite gathering place of readers.

I don't know when it began, a kind of remark began to emerge among the scholars gathered in the Fengming Pavilion from all over the country, saying that the reason why Jiangnan and other places will experience a famine this time is because the emperor is not benevolent in his current government, so the heavens specially sent a warning to warn the people.

Perhaps someone manipulated it, and this kind of remarks quickly spread out through the mouths of the readers, and it didn't take long for it to form an unstoppable torrent.

If it was just circulated privately among scholars, it would have been fine, but what is particularly hateful is that now this kind of remarks have reached the ears of the ordinary people of the Great Wu Dynasty.

The people of this era worship ghosts and gods and fear kings.

But if they really compare ghosts and gods with kings, what they fear the most is, of course, ghosts and gods.

If this famine in Jiangnan and other places is really a warning from God to the current emperor who has failed to govern the world, what should he do?

Just when the people had this problem in their minds, someone soon proposed a solution for the people.

God is merciful, if the current emperor can realize his own mistakes, and then issue an edict for all the people in the world to circulate, it will definitely let God receive the sincerity of the current emperor, so as to exchange for the next wind and rain, the country and the people.

The famine in Jiangnan and other places has caused almost half of the people of the Great Wu Dynasty to suffer deeply, and the lives of these people have changed from the original peace and tranquility to the current upheaval, and those hardships and hardships have already made them numb, but no matter how numb they are, they have a glimmer of hope in the bottom of their hearts.

Now that a solution has been proposed, it has undoubtedly magnified the hope in the hearts of the people.

It's just to let the current emperor make a paper edict against himself, and it won't bring any losses to the emperor, if this can make this famine survive safely, even if it is the current emperor, for the sake of thousands of people in the world, it's okay to do something so insignificant, right?

As a result, when the expectations of all the people in the world converged, a force was formed that was enough to impact the imperial power.

This force is the will of the people.

When the torrent of people gathered converged to the capital, those scholars in Fengming Pavilion were not idle.

Counting the past dynasties, the king issued an edict when the country suffered a natural disaster, which is a very common thing, so in the eyes of these readers, this book is not a precedent, and then there are the voices of the people, these readers who take the voice of the people as their own responsibility suddenly began to run spontaneously like chicken blood, and then jointly wrote a letter, imploring the emperor today to issue an edict in order to calm the anger of the heavens, so as to save the people from fire and water.

If it was just a small fight among a small number of scholars, this time it was a large number of scholars who twisted into a rope and burst out of power, even the imperial court could not turn a blind eye.

The joint letters of scholars from all over the world have been delivered to the capital one after another these days, and because of the importance of the matter, it was naturally handed over to the cabinet, and finally to the old man Han, who was the first assistant of the cabinet.

At that time, the old man Han was sneering at Zhao Tiannan's only casually pushing Concubine Shun out as an "explanation", and when he saw the joint book, he naturally remembered that when he went to Anguo Mansion for the rumors, Feng Zhige calmly told him that he had already thought about how to fight back.

Fengming Pavilion, Old Man Han naturally won't forget who the owner behind the scenes is.

Presumably, these should be a big meal carefully prepared by Su Su for Zhao Tiannan.

With this cognition, Old Man Han was in a good mood, and in the vacillation of several other cabinet elders, he decided to send all the books jointly signed by these scholars from all over the world who gathered together to Zhao Tiannan.

So, there was the scene that Lin Gonggong saw when he came in.

Hearing Gonggong Lin ask about the reason for his anger, Zhao Tiannan's anger that he had finally calmed down had a tendency to rise again, he put the soup cup in his hand on the shelf, pointed to the folds scattered all over the ground and said angrily: "These bold untouchables and poor scholars also dare to say that they want to make any edicts!" It seems that I have been too tolerant of the people all these years......"

Speaking of the back, Zhao Tiannan's face was already a little hideous.

Gonggong Lin was smiling in his heart, but he still looked worried on the surface, he came to the front of the folds in that place, and put them back on the imperial case one by one.

After the mess in a place was cleaned up, Gonggong Lin lowered his head and stood back in the position where he had stood for more than 20 years, and softly comforted: "Your Majesty, it's just the wild words of some insignificant people, why should the emperor be angry for these people, now the Dawu Dynasty needs the emperor at the right time, and the emperor should take care of the dragon's body." ”

Zhao Tiannan did not relax because of Gonggong Lin's persuasion, and his face became distorted by anger.

Just as those who read the book think, it is not a big deal for the emperors of the past dynasties to issue edicts when they encounter natural disasters, but in Zhao Tiannan's opinion, this is absolutely intolerable.

The Great Wu Dynasty was single-handedly defeated by him, and he can have today, relying on the countless blood he left on the battlefield, relying on his life, not relying on any heaven or providence.

After more than 20 years on the throne, he considered himself an emperor and achieved the ultimate in what he could do.

But now, because of a drought, those people who could only look up to and fear him dare to ask him to make an edict against him?

He is the master of the Great Wu Dynasty, he is the supreme king, what qualifications do these ants who rely on him to live on his nose be qualified to point fingers at him?

Those untouchables, those sour Confucians, why do they think they can force him to bow his head by jointly submitting a letter?

He is not wrong, so naturally he will not make any accusations!

If the thoughts in his heart can be turned into voices, then these words in Zhao Tiannan's heart must be sonorous and powerful.

As for the consequences of him ignoring the voices of the people......

Zhao Tiannan remembered that Su Su said something that impressed him particularly when the Dawu Dynasty was first built.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat.

So, is this a counterattack from Susu?

Zhao Tiannan was in a trance for a while.

In fact, after letting people spread the rumors, Zhao Tiannan already regretted it a little.

It's not that he regrets putting Feng Zhige to death, but he regrets that his plan is not perfect, and in the end he may not achieve the result he wants, I'm afraid that not only can he not take Feng Zhige's life, but he also has to startle the snake and let Feng Zhige discover his intentions.

Sure enough, first the old man Han did not hesitate to be unconvinced at the Jinjian Palace, and then, it was the people and scholars who asked him to publicize the matter of the emperor's edict to the world.

He thought, after so many years, maybe the person who knows him best is still only Susu.

Even though they hadn't been in contact for more than 20 years, Su Su could always find his weaknesses at a glance, and compared to the rumors he released that could not bring Su Su the slightest harm without careful thinking, Su Su's counterattack was much sharper and more accurate.

Such a woman, who was only a little short of at the beginning, would become his wife and become the queen of the Dawu Dynasty.

Until now, Zhao Tiannan is not sure if he has ever regretted what he did because he was suspicious of Han Su, if it wasn't for the accident that night, if Su Su hadn't died on the eve of the wedding, if they really became husband and wife, if they had children......

This kind of if, in Zhao Tiannan's heart, depicts a vivid picture.

Once, he really had the intention of sharing the country with her and standing on the highest place in the world.

He and Han Su have been together for more than ten years, if he has not been moved by Han Su, it must be a lie, but no matter how intoxicating the heart is, after all, it can't compare to the temptation given to him by the country and the world.

So he and Han Su can only go to strangers in the end, and even worse, they turn against each other, just like now.

The two of them, before they even had time to officially meet, began to fight each other with so many people and things, Zhao Tiannan was not even angry because of this situation, but had an inexplicable sense of freshness.

That's it, Susu......

After a long time, Zhao Tiannan withdrew his thoughts, and the anger originally generated by the sin of his edict miraculously subsided a lot.

can fight with Han Su, and he is even a little happy in his heart.

In this first round, he was considered to have lost, and since that is the case, let's wait for the next round to fight again.

Zhao Tiannan was faintly in a mood because of this recognition.

It's just that he doesn't know that he will never have such a chance again.

Gonggong Lin, who was on Zhao Tiannan's right, although he lowered his head, the afterglow in the corner of his eyes was enough for him to take in all of Zhao Tiannan's expressions.

The emperor, he thought of the queen's mother, so he was so affectionate.

Gonggong Lin can see that Zhao Tiannan treats Hansu differently, a long time ago, he was a little naïve to think that Zhao Tiannan at least took Hansu in his heart, but the final result was so ironic, how could he think that Zhao Tiannan really looked at the queen mother differently?

A little coldness flashed in his eyes, but Gonggong Lin was smirking in his heart.

He couldn't wait to know how Zhao Tiannan would react when he told Zhao Tiannan about the inexplicable rumors.

Regarding the rumors about the life history of the prince and Princess Hanyue, Gonggong Lin did not get any news from outside the palace, and he knew that it was not Feng Zhige's handiwork.

And long before this, Gonggong Lin had already known the truth of this matter from Feng Zhige, how could Concubine Ning, who looked gentle and elegant, have such courage to give birth to heirs for other men, and also use it as royal blood to raise?

Until now, Gonggong Lin still remembers the shock in his heart when he knew this, as well as the joy he felt after the shock.

This is all retribution, if it weren't for Zhao Tiannan drugged the queen's wine, how could he himself suffer from it and end up with no blood.

As soon as he knew about this matter, Gonggong Lin was ready to expose this matter in front of Zhao Tiannan, but was stopped by Feng Zhige, although he didn't know why Feng Zhige stopped it, but Gonggong Lin still did it without asking.

Gonggong Lin thought that he would be able to see Zhao Tiannan's expression after knowing this matter a long time later, but he didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.

Although it was not the queen's order, since there were rumors in the market, it would reach Zhao Tiannan's ears sooner or later, he just mentioned that time earlier, the queen mother, I guess I won't blame him, right?

Thinking of Zhao Tiannan's reaction later, the excitement in Lin Gonggong's heart was a little uncontrollable.

However, he immediately let go of all the feelings that he shouldn't have.

What he has to play next is a loyal servant who is dedicated to the Lord......

At this time, Zhao Tiannan had already reopened the recital that had been sorted out by Gonggong Lin, thinking about how he should deal with Feng Zhige's counterattack.

Gonggong Lin stood silently beside him, prepared all the pen and ink that Zhao Tiannan might use, and put them in a place within Zhao Tiannan's reach.

Zhao Tiannan was relieved for a while when he saw this, there were countless servants in the palace, but only Gonggong Lin could think thoughtfully about everything, and he was really an old man who had been by his side for more than 20 years and had always been loyal.

Lifting the pen, Zhao Tiannan was about to review the fold, but suddenly heard Gonggong Lin's voice that was a little hesitant.

"Your Majesty, old slave, there is something I don't know if to say or not......

Zhao Tiannan's hand paused slightly, and his heart was full of doubts, Gonggong Lin has been in the palace for so many years, and he has never spoken in front of him, why is it so abnormal this time?

Putting the pen back on the pen stand, Zhao Tiannan turned his head to look at Gonggong Lin, "If you have something to say, you can say it, you have been by my side for more than 20 years, don't you know my temper?" ”

The expression on Gonggong Lin's face was slightly relieved by Zhao Tiannan's words, but he still hesitated for a long time before closing his eyes, "Your Majesty, the old slave listened to the people in the small palace who have been out of the palace on an errand in the past few days, and a rumor has suddenly spread in the capital in the past two days......

Zhao Tiannan was slightly stunned.

At first glance, he thought that the rumors that Gonggong Lin said were the ones he let people out.

However, the previous incident has ended with him pushing Concubine Shun out, and Concubine Shun committed suicide by hanging herself in the cold palace, so what is the rumor that Gonggong Lin is referring to?

Inexplicably, Zhao Tiannan's heartbeat began to accelerate gradually when he didn't even notice it, as if his heart detected before his mind that what Gonggong Lin was going to say later was particularly important to him.

His hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and Zhao Tiannan waited silently for Gonggong Lin to continue.

"This rumor is about the ...... of the prince and Princess Hanyue"

After listening to the beginning, before he heard the true meaning, Zhao Tiannan felt dizzy in front of him, and seemed to be a little unbearable. (To be continued.) )
