"Long live the emperor, the empire is eternal." The people on the huge city square were all chanting enthusiastically, and Li Xuanqing looked at the expressions of the people below with a lot of emotion. Today's people are more afraid of Shangguan than in previous dynasties, at least in the eyes of Li Xuanqing and Qiaoxi, the people have awakened to their self-consciousness, so although Li Xuanqing then confessed to let Wang Zhiwen continue to preside over the public trial, but the Cui family and its henchmen completely lost their rampant confidence in the face of countless ironclad evidence, and in the following time, Wang Zhiwen did not need to say anything more, and the people present could not tolerate the Cui family's rebellion against the party to make such a crazy move, not only trying to seize the ruling power of Youzhou and other places, but also in the military industrial enterprises to plant people, trying to hide weapons, and colluding with some soldiers of the army and the dead soldiers in the palace to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor, how can the people endure it? Therefore, before the public trial was over, all the people began to shout and demand that the court immediately execute all those involved in the case, and some radical people even demanded that the army strike again and purge all those related to the Cui family's anti-party, etc., and would rather kill the wrong ones than let them go. In the eyes of the people, Li Xuanqing is expected by the people, if there is a mistake, then the people of Youzhou will be sorry for all the people in the world. Since ancient times, there have been many people who have been generous and sad in the secluded world, how can they tolerate such a crime on their backs? Since these opposing parties have been found, they should be cut with a thousand knives, and the public trial is already worthy of these people. When Wang Zhiwen explained all 11 charges including treason, everyone present cheered again, and even shouted on the stage to ask the court not to let go of a person, and the people of Youzhou could not let the world look down on them.

Wang Zhiwen was unable to control the scene of public anger, so he could only send someone to urgently notify Li Xuanqing and ask him to come forward to appease the people.

"Qiaoxi, it seems that this generation of people has become a qualified new generation of citizens of the Tang Dynasty." Li Xuanqing naturally knew that according to the current scene, the law court would definitely not be able to suppress it, so he had already walked onto the high platform with Qiaoxi at this time. The two of them stood in the wind, and it was still a little cold in Youzhou in April and May, but whether it was Li Xuanqing or Qiaoxi, standing on the high platform, they obviously felt a scorching heat that was difficult to be strict with their faces.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live." All the people brushed and knelt on the mountain and shouted long live. The voice that could only hear the previous speech spoke again: "Emperor Mingjian, these rebels are not only trying to subvert the good situation in my Youzhou, but also conspiring to assassinate the emperor. Please also ask the emperor to kill them all, so that I and other Youzhou people can be worthy of the people of the world, the Tang Empire, and the emperor. ”

"Fathers and fellow villagers, I, Li Xuanqing, have never doubted the people of Youzhou, since ancient times, there have been more good men, more heroic and tragic deeds, in my Tang Dynasty million Tiance army, Youzhou people have never been worse than anyone else, you should be proud of this as a father and fellow villagers." Li Xuanqing said loudly: "So today I, Li Xuanqing, have a word to tell me, to be precise, this sentence should not only be told to the people of Youzhou, but also to all the people of the Tang Dynasty in the world in the future." Li Xuanqing let Wang Zhiwen walk in front of him, pointed at him and continued: "Everyone, please see, our Wang Vice Yuanzheng, the law court where he is located represents the fairness and justice of my Datang, and also represents the hope of the people. Therefore, everyone must believe in the law of Datang, believe in the independent law court, and believe in the unity of Datang in order to be able to strengthen righteousness. ”

"Dear Youzhou fathers and elders, the legal court has come to Youzhou to hold a public trial with the emperor's trust, and it will not wronged a good person, nor will it let go of a bad person. So I hope everyone can believe in the law court and believe in the emperor. Wang Zhiwen bowed deeply, he didn't have the deep internal strength like Li Xuanqing to be able to spread his voice far away in the square of tens of thousands of people, but that deep bow still made all the people quiet.

"The law court announced the closure of the case, but the follow-up search for the remnants of the anti-party cannot be relaxed, and if necessary, you can go to Tiancheng for help. As for the results of the trial at the military court, you should report one copy to the main side of the compound, and send the remaining one to the General Staff urgently. Li Xuanqing left the high platform after giving these orders, but Cen Tianshi and Tuoba Sijian entered the square with many accompanying people and began to go deep into the crowd to take over the follow-up. In this way, the whole public trial case has gradually come to an end. However, all the people present showed no sign of leaving, but began to take the initiative to discuss the facts of the case, and many of them even said that while comparing the law, the court decided the verdict with reference to which law and which article.

"I'm afraid this is the result the emperor wants, right? Once the people's wisdom is opened, it can be popularized so quickly, which gives the political party that you and I have established a chance to leverage the opportunity of those thousand-year-old families to control their careers. Cen Tianshi smiled at Tuoba Si beside him as he walked: "Do you know why the emperor asked you to accompany me to form a political party?" ”

"I know a little bit about it," Tuoba said with a smile, "Mr. is the only candidate for the formation of a political party for the country and the people." As for the thoughts, because I was born in the party, and I have little to do with many big families, and even because the party and the Han people have been integrated over the years, regardless of you and me, if I come out, I can not only let the people see the unity of the Chinese nation in the Tang Dynasty, but also cut off the idea of these big families meddling in the party, at least when you and I are the leaders of the party, this kind of thing will not happen. ”

"It seems that you have grown a lot in the northwest over the years, so I can rest assured." Cen Tianshi said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is thinking about what will happen after the retirement of our generation, so many people have opened up the wisdom of the people and understood things, this is the vanguard and main force for us to deal with the big families, and it is the hope of the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Yes, so since the emperor has paved all the roads, the rest depends on your efforts and mine." Tuoba smiled, and together with Cen Tianshi, he began to look for the people in front of him, and then began to have a deep conversation.

"Big brother, this Youzhou is really a treasure." Qiaoxi and Li Xuanqing stood behind and saw such a scene, and immediately covered their mouths and smiled. The two of them have worked hard for so many years, even if they forcibly pulled the empire onto the road of industrialization, but the reason is not as gratifying as seeing this scene today. The opening of the people's wisdom means that the people of the Tang Dynasty have tried to learn to think independently, and try to put themselves in the position of the master of the empire to think about problems. This is the protagonist of the Tang Dynasty that Li Xuanqing and Cen Tianshi and others said before.

"Indeed, the people of Youzhou today can be regarded as a new generation of citizens of the empire." Li Xuanqing gently grabbed Qiaoxi's slender waist, and quietly walked out of the exciting city square with her, heading towards the northern city of Youzhou. It is the junction of the canal and the easy water, and it is also the center of the Tianjin River port, where countless ships come and go every day, and countless supplies are exchanged throughout the empire.

"This is pretty much where the world is connected." Li Xuanqing casually said words that only Qiaoxi could understand, because the two of them did not accompany the Imperial Forest Army, so they didn't care that anyone heard it.

"What the eldest brother said is that the eldest brother had the foresight to place the freight station of the land train near the canal and river port, so that it is really a convergence of the world, and the transportation hubs of the north, south, east and west all converge here. I don't think this generation will be worse than Tianjin Port in the future. Qiao Xi smiled and said: "Only when the economy is developed can the people have the spare energy to think about the world's major events, and only in this way can it conform to the law of economic and political development." ”

The two of them thought about this while walking, and after a while, the two discussed a way to promote, at least after the northern industrial belt was basically built, the people of the north would have been able to compare with Youzhou, and then let the new imperial policy take the lead in promoting it in the north. Only in this way can the Fuxing Society and the Justice Party of Cen Tianshi and Tuoba Sijian have the foundation and soil for growth, and the new policies of Li Xuanqing and his wife will have the basis for implementation. And once there is a foundation and foundation, not only will the people begin to follow suit and quickly spread such a trend to all parts of the Tang Dynasty, but only in this way can the foundation of the empire be established.

"Big brother, at least so that we can see a clear path from the experience of future generations, a road that will last forever." Qiaoxi nodded and smiled: "Although our descendants may blame us and divide a lot of the supreme power in their hands, it is not a big deal for the eternal existence of the empire and the eternal existence of the imperial family. ”

Li Xuanqing naturally knew that he was not only dismembering the power in the hands of the emperor, but also cultivating the spirit of the hero of the people, so Li Xuanqing did not mind decomposing the power in the hands of the emperor and letting them restrain each other, but he could hold each other together at a critical moment, so that under the situation that the emperor suppressed above and hundreds of people stared at below, no matter who came to power, it was impossible to bring the empire to an irreparable abyss. And as industrialization continues to advance, sooner or later technological development will take a crucial step towards a sustained revolution, so that not only will there be greater economic development, but also its own political construction, and only in this way will the empire really perpetuate.

"Big brother, do you think that in this way, will the royal family's money not be enough to spend in the future? Why don't I discuss with Sister Feixue and make a few more money-making properties? Qiaoxi tilted her little head and thought for a while, then suddenly smiled.

"Qiaoxi means overseas?" Qiaoxi's words made Li Xuanqing's heart move, not that he felt that he would continue to increase the wealth of the royal family's assets, relying on Qiaoxi and Murong Feixue's abilities, he was afraid that the royal property he would leave behind in the future would be so large that it was terrifying. It was a coincidence that reminded Li Xuanqing of another thing.

"Big brother is thinking about the Northeast?" After Li Xuanqing's gaze turned to the northeast, Qiao Xi suddenly smiled and said: "That place is only separated from our continent by a strait, even if you don't give me advice, according to the plan of the navy and the frequency of Brother Xu's expedition, they will definitely cross that strait in less than three years." And the big brother should also take into account the ocean currents, right? While our power steamers are less dependent on ocean currents and wind direction, they are undeniably a significant factor. ”

"yes, it's time to go up and take a closer look at that land. Hundreds of years in advance, we might have been able to discover some secrets. Li Xuanqing also smiled slightly, if the royal family came forward, the place could be used in advance, and at least within a hundred years, except for Datang, no country at all could compete with Datang for that place. His current power is more than a lot stronger than that of the Western European countries in the colonial era in later generations. Moreover, the population base of the empire is also growing rapidly, and a hundred years is enough time for the number of the people of the empire to grow to the point where they can colonize overseas and occupy that land on a large scale. Therefore, after the two returned, they immediately sent the Imperial Forest Army to summon Xu Xingxia to Tianjin. At the same time, Qiaoxi also began to ask the insiders of the imperial assets to inform Zhang Qiang, who was in Guangzhou, to return to Tianjin.

During this period, the follow-up extermination of the rebel party in Youzhou and even in Bianzhou and the Central Plains officially came to an end, and countless participants who were hiding everywhere were all taken down, and the legal court immediately began to carry out follow-up trial work. At this time, the military court had already handed over all the trial results involving the army and military logistics to Li Xuanqing. Wang Yongnian's style is still as neat as ever, so Li Xuanqing just looked at the results, and didn't say much to let Wang Yongnian deal with it himself.

"Sir, how are the results of the two of you these days?" Li Xuanqing is not a big deal with Qiaoxi, the plans of the cabinet on the Chang'an side are basically steadily advancing, and after Zhang Jianzhong took office, on the one hand, he promoted this year's annual plan, and on the other hand, he began to write his own reform plan. So basically there is no big thing to find themselves, just when the two of them were about to travel to the ancient sites of Jizhou, they saw Cen Tianshi and Tuoba Siji walking in together.

"It looks like a great achievement." Li Xuanqing just finished saying a sentence when he heard Cen Tianshi smile and said: "This is not the credit of me and Si Ji, but the credit of the emperor and our queen mother." Today's people in Youzhou are really as the emperor said, a new generation of citizens of the Tang Dynasty. No longer facing the imperial court and avoiding government affairs, but began to gradually shift his attention from his own clothing, food, housing and transportation to the general trend of the country and the world. In this way, we in Datang will have countless loyal supporters and participants, and our Renaissance Society and the Justice Party will have the basis for survival. ”

What Mr. Cen said was that Weichen also felt a lot. Therefore, if I am willing to make an oath in front of the emperor and the queen, I will definitely not disappoint the emperor's painstaking efforts, and I will definitely build a righteous party to serve the country and the people. Compared with Cen Tianshi's emotion, Tuoba Si Zhi is more full of confidence.
