Chapter 40: The Art of Disgust (4)
Early the next morning, the officials on Li Tai's side told His Majesty Li Er that the prince was tired of winning, ignoring the law and discipline, father and son, and morals, and such a person should not become the prince, and asked His Majesty Li Er to abolish Li Chengqian's position as prince.
His Majesty Li Er naturally would not agree, not only reprimanded them, but also demoted these people in the name of bewitching the public.
Immediately afterwards, Li Tai's camp launched a new wave of offensive, mobilizing the scholars of Chang'an, jointly submitting a petition to His Majesty Li Er to severely punish the prince who practiced the art of disgust and cursed his father.
Many scholars knelt in front of the palace gate of the imperial city to petition for the abolition of the unethical prince in order to protect the Tang Dynasty.
In the East Palace, in the Lizheng Palace, Li Chengqian convened his staff to discuss countermeasures, if they were allowed to develop like this, it would be okay.
"In today's form, no one needs to say it, you should also know that the enemy's offensive is fierce, how should we deal with it?" Li Chengqian asked.
"Your Highness! In my opinion! simply did not do anything, entered the Great Interior, forced His Majesty to abdicate, and then of course put the King of Wei in prison and executed, this matter will not be solved. Duhe said.
Li Chengqian looked helpless, Du He, Du He, when is it, you still want to rebel, this is not death!
Li Chengqian will definitely not agree to such a thing as rebellion, as the crown prince, as long as he survives until the day of His Majesty Li Er's death, he can smoothly take over the rights of the Tang Dynasty.
But the problem is that he can smoothly survive his father Tang Taizong, otherwise, what will he inherit the throne.
If he Li Chengqian was pulled off the crown prince throne by Li Tai's group in this turmoil, he would have lost the throne for life.
Therefore, Du He can't be blamed for being reckless, but the harm caused by witchcraft is too great, and Du He doesn't dare to guarantee that the prince can retreat in this whirlpool.
In Duhe's opinion, it is time to prepare for the worst! Rebellion is undoubtedly their last chance.
"Duhe, don't mention this matter again in the future! Now what we're going to do is how to fight back! Li Chengqian said.
Li Chengqian knew in his heart that if he gathered the soldiers and horses of the East Palace at the sixth rate now, he would just give the other party a tongue, and even Li Er, who was only twenty steps away from the East Palace, might suspect that it was really him, the crown prince, who was cursing his father with the technique of disgust with victory.
If you don't have a ghost in your heart, then why do you gather your own soldiers and horses, and you gather soldiers and horses just to prove that you are cursing your father with your disgusting technique.
This is the plan that after the matter was revealed, the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry and launched a coup d'état in advance.
Therefore, what Li Chengqian will do next must not be linked to the army in the slightest, and this is the safest thing.
Not only does he have to get more support, but he also needs to gain the trust of his father, so that he can survive this turmoil.
"Your Highness! We can use newspapers and magazines to create public opinion, to guide the public opinion of the people, to oppose them. Di Renjie said.
"That's right! Di Qing is right! Li Chengqian slapped his thigh, how could he forget such sharp weapons as newspapers and magazines, fortunately, there was Di Renjie's reminder.
"Have you sent out all the newspapers today?" Li Chengqian hurriedly asked Zhang Xuansu.
It's about whether he can win the battle for succession.
"Not yet! It's just that it's too late to publicize it through newspapers now. Yu Zhining was a little embarrassed.
The typesetting of the newspaper was completed in the evening, printing began in the morning, and sales began at eight o'clock.
It's not easy to suddenly add new content to the newspaper now.
"It's okay! The others can ignore him and add an article about this on the front page, which is not too long, I don't think it should be a big problem. Li Chengqian said.
When is it now, where do you care about the rest, fortunately, you don't have to reformat everything, just add a part of the headlines on the front page, which is nothing to Kong Yingda, Zhang Xuansu, and Yu Zhining.
"If that's the case, it's not a big problem! This is how it should be written. Kong Yingda said.
This is indeed a problem, if it is written well, it will naturally arouse the support of countless people, if it is not written well, it will backfire, Li Chengqian thought about it, and said to Wang Quan.
"Wang Quan is going to get pen, ink, paper, and inkstone."
"No!" Wang Quan received the order to bring the four treasures of the study, put them in front of Li Chengqian, and personally polished the ink for Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian wrote a short essay on paper, put down the brush, picked up the paper and put the ink on it.
Give the paper to Wang Quan and let him pass it to Zhang Xuansu and others to circulate.
"Let's see, if there is anything to add, if not, write this into the front page headlines and send it to the printing house for printing." Li Chengqian said.
After Zhang Xuansu and the others read it, they glanced at each other, and through eye contact, they finally reached a consensus, Kong Yingda said: "Your Highness, this article is short and concise, and you can see what it means at a glance, we don't have any meaning." ”
"Good! Since it doesn't make sense for everyone, let's act now, and the sooner it gets it printed in the newspaper, the better it will be for us. Li Chengqian said.
"No!" The people stood up and saluted and took their leave.
Li Chengqian retreated, now he needs to be quiet, by the way, analyze the current situation, where to start in order to solve the problem as quickly and effectively.
Soon the newspaper was sold in Chang'an City, which immediately caused a storm.
The front page of the newspaper read: Who is the culprit in the case of the art of disgust? What is the secret behind this, behind it is a dirty deal, behind all this is the degradation of morality, or is it the distortion of human nature?
All of this will come to the surface under a just trial...... Let's wait and see.
This 600-word headline immediately attracted great attention from people from all walks of life, so a team composed of children from poor families and people from the bottom of society stood up to accuse these people.
The children of the Han family also jointly signed a petition to support the prince, and asked His Majesty to listen to the holy judgment, and never listen to slander and create a tragedy.
This made what was originally just a matter of the abolition of the crown prince developed into a later tearing conference between the two forces.
Both sides have their own opinions! Don't give in to each other! They won't stop tearing until they come to a conclusion.
More people take the opportunity to join in the fun, brush up on the sense of existence, no matter what time it is, there is no shortage of people who eat melons to watch the excitement and not think it is a big deal.
Li Er looked at the newspaper in his hand and still agreed with Li Chengqian's approach, but he couldn't let the situation develop like this.
Li Er sent people to continue to urge Changsun Wuji and others to solve the case as soon as possible, while letting people disperse these people so as not to cause a riot.
Once these people say that they are red-eyed, they dare to fight.
