The Wang Department immediately arranged carriages and horses, and watched Zhao Zhen rush to the direction of Bianjing City.

Suddenly, he frowned and held his waist: "Oops, my waist is not working......"

……

Yanqing Palace.

Zhao Zhen strode in.

The civil and military officials all turned their heads to stare at him.

This Great Song Prince is only eleven years old!

But it doesn't look like a child at all!

Sharp eyes!

Steady footsteps!

Behind him is a Li Di who is carrying a hoe and taking a figure-eight step, famous for beating people!

When the officials saw this, they all ducked.

When Zhao Heng saw Li Di, his face changed, and he asked, "Li Qingjia, what are you doing?" ”

Although Li Di still holds the position of Zaifu, he has been tacitly agreed not to go to the court.

Bang.

Li Di paused the hoe on the floor, glared at Ding Wei, and said, "Official, come and see if any villain dares to bully the prince......

Ding Wei's heart jumped, and he quickly hid behind Cao Yong.

Zhao Heng said speechlessly: "Don't beat people!" ”

"Oh!"

Li Di walked to Kou Zhun with a hoe.

Zhao Heng glanced at Zhao Zhen and asked, "Prince, are you guilty?" ”

Zhao Zhen was like a mirror in his heart, but on the surface, he looked innocent: "I don't know!" ”

Zhao Heng was a little angry and said: "Hmph, as the crown prince, you actually printed and sold the book of lewdness, and now there are scholars gathered outside the palace, please order me to ban this book, the people of the world will soon know that the Pingshan Book Society was opened by the East Palace, do you want to be scolded by the people and bear the infamy of the ages?" ”

Zhao Zhen suddenly raised his head with an indignant expression: "Who is it?" Who spread the rumor that "The Golden Vase of Plums" is a book of absurdity? ”

Ding Wei hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Highness, you must have been deceived by someone, that book, the minister has also read, it is indeed a book of absurdity." If this is not the case, why are so many scholars asking for their lives...... Now it is a scholar, and then there are merchants, peasants, and workers, and I am afraid that in the whole Bianjing City, everyone will jump up and oppose it...... At that time, I am afraid that it will damage the reputation of His Highness, please think twice......"

Zhao Zhen glanced at the other party and asked, "Ding Dalang......"

The corners of Ding Wei's mouth twitched.

Previously, he heard Zhao Zhen mention Wu Dalang, but he didn't know who it was!

But now, in that book, there is a seller of baked cakes less than two feet long, named Wu Dalang.

Zhao Zhen is mocking him in public for his short stature!

"Your Highness, the minister is not called Ding Dalang!" Ding Wei corrected.

Zhao Zhen waved his hand: "It's almost ...... anyway"

Ding: "......"

What do you call almost!

I only heard Zhao Zhen say: "Ding Dalang, why are you sure that this is a book of absurdity?" ”

Ding said: "...... It's not the minister's insistence, this is the public opinion, as the old saying goes, the public opinion cannot be violated! ”

Zhao Zhen smiled: "A good public opinion cannot be violated, so to speak, public opinion thinks that this book is a book of absurdity, it is, public opinion thinks it is not, it is not?" ”

"Not bad!"

Zhao Zhen looked around and asked, "Do you think so too?" ”

Cao Yong and the others all nodded.

Zhao Heng also said: "Zhen'er, Ding Qing's family is reasonable, and the will of the people cannot be violated......

Before the words fell, Zhou Huaizheng suddenly broke into the hall and shouted: "Official, it's not good...... There was a fight outside the palace! ”

What the?

Could it be that the scholars can't wait to rebel?

Zhao Heng and the ministers all changed their faces.

Zhao Heng hurriedly ordered: "How can this be reasonable, a group of scholars dare to make trouble, and immediately transfer troops into the city to calm the situation with the Privy Council and the Sanya!" ”

The privy envoy Cao Yu and the officials of the Sanya hurriedly wanted to go out.

But I heard Zhou Huaizheng say: "Official, no, no, no, no, the scholars didn't make trouble...... It was a lot of people who suddenly came from outside the palace, including scholars, merchants, ordinary people, and ...... The families of all the adults present, after these people arrived, they didn't care about it, and suddenly beat the scholar who asked for his life......"

What?

Everyone present looked confused.

Zhao Heng asked curiously, "Have you found out the truth?" ”

Zhou Huaizheng said: "Later, these people, while beating people, said that "Golden Vase Plum" is not a book of absurdity, this group of scholars spread rumors and make trouble, and they dared to ask for their lives with such a trivial matter, increasing the burden of the court, and they should ......be beaten."

Zhao Heng looked stunned and ordered: "Yin Lu Yijian of Kaifeng Mansion, go and investigate it thoroughly." ”

"Yes! Official. ”

Lu Yijian got the order and hurriedly ran out.

Then he ordered Sanya to send a forbidden army into the city.

……

Outside the palace gate, there was chaos.

One by one, the scholars hugged their heads and ran around.

"Kill them!"

"There's another one here, catch him!"

"These bastards, such strange books, don't hide secretly and read them, they dare to let the court ban them, once they are banned, everyone will have no books to read!"

"It's too bad!"

"Don't let any of them go!"

The crowd was so angry that they beat up a scholar when they caught him.

It was not until the forbidden army left the factory that the situation was stabilized.

……

Yin Lu Yijian of Kaifeng Mansion returned to Yanqing Hall and reported: "Official, the cause of the incident has been identified...... It turned out that the news that the scholars had gathered outside the palace this morning spread, and many people in Bianjing City were very indignant, thinking that the scholars were making trouble for no reason, so they spontaneously gathered and beat the scholars ......"

Ding Wei et al.: "......"

Zhao Heng: "......"

I just said that the will of the people cannot be violated.

Now it seems that the latter is the real public opinion?

Zhao Heng asked, "Have you ever found out that someone instructed you?" ”

Lu Yijian shook his head: "The beaters are all spontaneous, but those scholars, after being beaten, inadvertently revealed that they were instructed by others!" ”

Someone wants to slander the prince?

Dare to coerce public opinion?

Paint a false picture?

Zhao Heng was suddenly furious, and slapped the table: "Arrest all those scholars who are making trouble, and check them carefully...... As for "The Golden Vase Plum", since the people like it, it naturally has its merits, and the imperial court is not allowed to ban it......"

Ding Wei hurriedly shouted: "Official, this book is indeed ......"

Zhao Heng said impatiently: "Retreat!" ”

He huffed and turned away.

The courtiers looked at each other and walked out slowly.

Kou Zhun smacked his lips and looked at Li Di: "Li Retro, you did a good thing......

Li Di said depressedly: "How can you say this? ”

Kou Zhun snorted: "Don't think that the old man can't see it, that book was written by you!" ”

Li Di said innocently: "Kou Xianggong, how can you insult people's innocence out of thin air?" ”

Kou Zhun sneered: "Your articles and poems, the old man knows them by heart, and the writing in that book is the same as yours......"

Li Di's face changed greatly, and he pointed at Kou Zhun: "So, Kou Xianggong is familiar with that book?" ”

Kou Zhun smiled dryly: "...... This...... Ahem, now that the official family is angry, the imperial court is not allowed to ban this book, and soon, this book will flow out of Bianjing City and will spread all over the world, you ...... Alas......"

After speaking, Kou Zhun shook his head and left.

Li Di's face was shocked, and he hurriedly turned around to chase Zhao Zhen.

As the author of the book, he knows best that the book is indeed absurd.

Once it is really completely circulated, the consequences are unimaginable.

But at this point, he was already confused!
