Chang'an Xinghua Fang, which is lined with green buildings, has begun to take shape, and there are singers in the restaurant, making performances every day to attract visiting guests.

With the stability of the imperial court and the stability of Guanzhong, Chang'an City gradually prospered again, therefore, the high-ranking officials and nobles in Chang'an, the scholar class, after food and clothing, the yearning and pursuit of spiritual life also increased.

Inside the Pan Yue Building.

Singing and dancing, melodious piano sound, many guests here to eat and drink, a small gathering of pleasant feelings.

Generally speaking, this kind of restaurant is a place where fish and dragons are mixed, and it is the fastest place where the gossip news in Beijing spreads.

"Have you ever heard that the floods in Huayin County are serious, and there are also cases of officials corrupting ink and bending the law?"

"Of course I heard that His Majesty has sent Ma Zhou to relieve the disaster."

"I also heard that the Yellow River burst, and Hanoi County caused an even greater disaster!"

"This year's heavy rains, I'm afraid that the counties along the Yellow River will suffer, and when the time comes, the refugees will definitely starve to death, hey, the people are suffering!"

Some of the aristocratic class dressed in silk and satin, including Confucian scholars, Taixue tribute students, some officials changed into civilian clothes to gather here, and some wealthy merchants' children, each had their own discussions, and expressed some opinions on the affairs of the imperial court.

"Such a calamity, all because of the lack of personnel cultivation, God will send disasters, maybe our court, killing too much, not enough benevolence and righteousness, God will blame so much, give vigilance." There was a young man dressed as a scholar, with a blue straight coat and a purple head, who uttered such a rebellious remark.

Some people wondered, "How can you see it?" ”

"Do you think, your majesty today, born in Rongma, it is said that he went into battle to kill the enemy at the age of fourteen, his hands must be stained with blood, and later suppressed many peasant uprisings for the Great Sui, and fought many battles, dealing with the Turks, dealing with Goguryeo, exterminating Tuguhun, fighting everywhere, can there be less killing?"

"Last year, he fought from the northwest to Chang'an City, forced Li Tang away, and personally led troops to exterminate Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, Li Mi soldiers and horses, his murderous spirit was too heavy, even if he was a king, but his anger was not reduced, and now he is still using troops against Liang State, greedy and insufficient, and killing in vain, so the sky can't see it, so it rains heavily in the sky, and the Yellow River bursts its embankment, giving him a warning, no longer just fighting, stopping the war, and finally it will be like the former Emperor Yang, it is rare to have a good death."

This person's remarks can be described as word by word, and Luo Zhaoyun's exploits are instead told of the crime of killing to incite people's emotions.

When some people in the restaurant heard the news, their faces were full of shock, and they didn't expect that anyone would criticize the current affairs, criticize His Majesty, and punish the heavens, saying that the king was immoral and killed too much.

A student member of the Tai Academy stood up and shouted with a red face: "Bold, Your Majesty will set the country and the country and calm the trouble, it is the true destiny of the Son of Heaven, how can you be humiliated by this junior." ”

The young man sneered: "The land of fireworks, freedom of speech, and natural disasters are repeated, can't my generation of scholars tell the truth?" ”

"You are pretending to be a natural disaster, criticizing the current politics, smearing His Majesty, and committing a great rebellion!"

"That is, natural disasters are natural disasters, **yes**, forcibly involved, what are your intentions?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the young man snorted coldly, no longer arguing, but speeding away, so as not to be denounced and come to arrest him.

At this moment, someone in the crowd stared at the man in green shirt and quietly followed him, wanting to check the origin of his feet.

A middle-aged man dressed as a scholar, holding his beard, stood by the railing on the second floor, saw the scene of the man in green shirt arguing with the student just now, seemed to think about it, and returned to the private room where he was.

In the private room, there are also a few men wearing silk and satin, who seem to be either rich or noble.

These people are, Lawyer Pei, Feng Yandao, Yu Yun, Yang Sixun, Yuan Changfu, and it was Dou Cong who walked into the room.

"You all heard what you just said." Dou Cong asked with a strange expression.

Feng Yandao is the son of Feng Deyi, and he also knows something about the affairs of the imperial court, so he took the lead in replying: "Yes, I heard it, some people are beginning to be dissatisfied with the current emperor, and I don't know which force is spreading these remarks, is it possible to shake the emperor's dragon throne?" ”

Dou Cong shook his head and said: "Today, it is impossible to shake the emperor's throne, because he holds the military power, and the military power is very high, the garrison of the capital is all the emperor's descendants as generals, and the army that fights outside is also a general he trusts, and he is promoted unusually, no one controls the army, and it is impossible to shake the throne." ”

Lawyer Pei was a little suspicious: "Then what are some people releasing these news for?" ”

Yu Yun analyzed and explained: "Of course, it is to add chaos, it may be Xiao Liang's spies who spread rumors here, so as to stimulate public anger and form a kind of public opinion pressure, so that His Majesty can stop the army and avoid the doom of destroying the country." There is also a possibility that there is a force in the imperial court and does not want to watch him consolidate his imperial power, and when the time comes, the rabbit will die and the dog will be cooked. ”

Yang Sixun asked, "Then what should we do?" ”

Dou Cong smiled mysteriously and lowered his voice: "Naturally....... The faster the news is disseminated, the better, you think, if the emperor of the dynasty stabilizes his power and frees his hands, he will deal with the forces of the Guanlong Gate Valve, let alone reuse us descendants of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, only his position is not firm, rumors are flying, and when the time comes, the minister will admonish, it is advisable to be quiet and not move, forcing him to slow down the promotion of the Hanmen, and deal with the speed of the Gate Valve clan, and the interests of our family will be able to be preserved for a while longer. ”
