Chapter 488: The Lotus Society is starting to make trouble
Chang'an Qinglongfang
As I said before, Chang'an Qinglongfang is the slum of Chang'an, Li Zhan once came here to recruit people once, but unfortunately, Li Zhan was slapped in the face, at this time it was noon, and a bunch of people pushed several carts into Qinglongfang.
The beggars, who had been sleeping on both sides of Qinglongfang, suddenly opened their eyes because they smelled the fragrance of steamed buns.
"It smells so good...!" Just when the beggars were attracted by the scent.
Suddenly, a high-pitched voice sounded: "Brothers of the Lotus Society. ”
A sentence of the brothers of the Lotus Society, so that more people opened their eyes, and then saw a tall man directly open the black cloth of the cart, and under the black cloth was baskets of white-flour steamed buns.
The appearance of steamed buns immediately attracted the crowds of Qinglongfang.
The tall man took advantage of this time to shout again: "Brothers, the Lotus Society is in trouble, and there are traitors in the court who slander us as the masterminds behind the assassination of the queen mother, but our Lotus Society has never done anything bad during this time, except for the use of medicine to help the people."
This is obviously someone planted a false accusation, and now the owner of the big shrine was arrested in Dali Temple, and his life and death are uncertain, and he heard that he has been beaten and is dying, and he begged the former brothers of the Lotus Society to go to Dali Temple with us to call a grievance.
If you want to, come and eat steamed buns, of course, the Lotus Society will never force it, if you don't want to, we don't blame you, we just hope you can live in peace.
Everybody... I ask you for the Lotus Society's main shrine. ”
A very good speech, help to eat steamed buns, you must know that your steamed buns are very attractive to those beggars, no need to guess to know, beggars will definitely come to eat steamed buns.
Several carts of steamed buns were eaten, and there was no problem with one or two thousand people, and among these people, there were a few people who were really members of the Lotus Society, and then they were injustice in Dali Temple.
You don't have to guess to know that it will immediately alarm the imperial court and the entire Chang'an, this is another powerful move, I have to admit that this Lotus Society has done a lot of unexpected essence.
Sure enough, just as the tall man finished shouting, a beggar shouted, "I am willing to help the great shrine master to complain." ”
This shout made the tall man happy, and he hurriedly handed a steamed bun to the beggar and said, "Thank you...!" ”
The beggar picked up the steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth, and at this time, when the other beggars saw this scene, they also rushed to shout: "I am also willing to help the great shrine master to complain." ”
"And me, and me."
"Give me a steamed bun, I'll go too...!"
........
All of a sudden, all the beggars went crazy, and this crazy attitude looked at the eyes of those poisoned Lotus Society members, more like a card of their own innocence and death.
The members of the Lotus Society, who were still a little timid, were also willing to stand up at this time, especially those who had been helped by the Lotus Society, and they would almost all stand up, thinking of using their insignificant bodies to help the great Lotus Society's great shrine master to cry out.
Later, it only took less than an hour, and the Lotus Society actually recruited nearly 5,000 people in the entire Chang'an, and this group of people started from Mingde Gate and walked directly to the Vermilion Bird Gate.
Behind the Vermilion Bird Gate is Chengtianmen Street, where the officials of the imperial court are basically located, and these people are going to Dali Temple to complain for the great shrine master of the Lotus Society.
Five thousand people, that's really a mighty one, just when this group of people had just gathered at Mingde Gate and started to leave, Li Shimin and his officials had actually begun to discuss how to deal with this matter in the Ganlu Palace.
However, what is interesting is that the ministers who discussed with Li Shimin this time all reached a consensus, that is, this Lotus Society is definitely an evil society.
Some people must be surprised, hey... Didn't you just say that Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng opposed Li Shimin's definition of the Lotus Society as an evil society, and now you have reached a consensus.
Very simple... It is because of the current actions of the Lotus Society, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng are extremely smart people, and more importantly, they know a lot of lessons from the past, a small Lotus Society can gather in such a short period of time, or it is ugly to bewitch nearly 5,000 people, such an ability, it is definitely not normal.
If it wasn't an evil society, what would it be?
"Gather 5,000 people in a short period of time...!" In the Ganlu Palace, Fang Xuanling said: "It's the minister's negligence, this is definitely not a simple non-governmental organization!" ”
"That's right...!" Wei Zheng also followed behind Fang Xuanling and said, "Your Majesty... This Lotus Society is very similar to a Lotus Society in the Han Dynasty, when the Silk Road was opened.
This society was introduced to the Han Dynasty, and the society propagated the belief that the darkness would always pass and the light would soon come, which was a seditious statement.
There have always been anti-imperial moves. Just as the rebellion is addicted, it can be said that this society is quite radical in nature. No matter who the people in power are, as long as they think that the people in power are dull and corrupt, they will think that this is the darkness before the dawn, and they are the messengers of light.
Therefore, there must be no compromise on such a non-governmental organization.
If you compromise, you'll be devoured by the other side. ”
"Then we have a unanimous consensus." Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng and said with a smile.
Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling also immediately bowed down and said, "Please forgive your majesty." ”
Li Shimin smiled and waved his hand and said: "What are your crimes, everything you do is based on the country, and there is no sin, okay... All sit down, and now let's discuss what to do, whether it is repression or appeasement. ”
"Suppression doesn't work...!" Ma Zhou took the lead in shaking his head and said: "Your Majesty, it can be said that ninety percent of them are the people of Chang'an, these people of Chang'an have received the favor of the Lotus Society, so they have been deceived, they are all our people, how can they be suppressed." ”
"The minister also does not agree to the suppression...!" The eldest grandson Wuji said on the side: "If the imperial court suppresses it, then the originally reasonable imperial court will become unreasonable!" ”
"Then it can only be soothed." Li Shimin spread his hands.
"Comfort doesn't work...!" Wei Zheng frowned slightly and said: "They want us to release the great shrine master of the Lotus Society, do we really want to release it, absolutely not... If the Great Shrine Master is really released, then the other party will definitely gain an inch...! ”
"yes... For the evil society, the imperial court must not back down! Fang Xuanling Ling Ran said.
"Uh...!" The words on both sides made Li Shimin a little speechless and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, there are two ways, suppression and comfort, but on both sides of you, one side says that one is not good."
What do you want me to do? ”
Li Shimin's bitterness also made the eldest grandson Wuji and others show a frowning expression, this matter is indeed very tricky, suppression is not good, comfort is not good, if you suppress it, he is full of people, who are you suppressing?
But what about comforting, it is the culprit that is released, which is tantamount to conniving at the other party's continued momentum.
It's a complete dilemma, but just when Li Shimin and the others were scratching their heads, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Father, suppression can't work, and comfort can't do it, in fact, we still have a way."
That's debunking. ”
As soon as the words fell, a young man walked in with a smile!
