Chapter 260: Rotten in the Stomach
Under the deliberate guidance of well-intentioned people, the residents inside and outside Chang'an City can be said to be one-sided in denouncing the Cui family.
People have decided that they must have done a lot of things that anger and resentment of heaven will cause this kind of heavenly punishment to fall on them.
When more and more people exposed the things that the Cui family had done, such things as bullying civilians, forcing people to death, and bending the law for bribes, they all said that they had noses and eyes, and the reputation of the Cui family was completely trampled into the mud.
When the official side also came out, there were so many officials of the Cui family who had been deposed and became white, but it was not a high-spirited festival and did not want to continue to be a leader, but because of the news that they had embezzled public funds or were brought to justice for the sake of disaster in the township, people's impression of these family members was extremely bad.
Needless to say, this drought and locust plague cannot be blamed on His Majesty today, but this group of lawless people has angered the heavens, so they use such disasters to warn the world.
After such remarks have completely captured the market inside and outside Chang'an City, Li Shimin also spoke out in a timely manner.
Some officials under the Cui family deliberately obstructed the implementation of the disaster relief work, and even after His Majesty strictly ordered that the victims must be treated well, they still sat back and watched the suffering of the victims, so that they failed to prevent the further expansion of the disaster in the first place.
Those who should be dismissed and investigated must be brought to justice, and those who disregard human lives will not be tolerated, and after finding out how many lawlessness they still have, they will simply show their heads to the public in order to set an example.
And some of the things these people have done are really outrageous, and they really shouldn't be the sons of men, and once they were announced, many residents inside and outside Chang'an City were even more excited.
This time, the scolding of the family is no longer a private discussion behind the scenes, and there are not too many people who block the door and throw rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs and stones.
In the face of the surging crowd, the family can only honestly pestle at home and be a turtle with a shrunken head.
At this time, if you want to suppress the crowd, it is really looking for death, and when the time comes, something really happens, under the law and not the people, most of the people in those groups are fine, but those people who go out and continue to oppress the people will definitely not end up well, so let's be an ostrich honestly.
As for the poor chickens who were hapless enough to be killed as a warning to the monkeys, no one was willing to rescue them.
On the cusp of such a storm, and when these people are completely qualified, no one wants to have anything to do with such stinky shit.
Originally, everyone's eyes on them were no longer very friendly, if they really stood up for those who were going to die, they would be beaten to death by the people on the street one day.
And whether those unlucky people did those things or not, whether they did it to the point of being so rampant or not and so inhumane, it doesn't matter anymore, whether it's true or false is put on them anyway, outsiders have already believed it, this is called yellow mud falling into the crotch of the pants, it's not poop but it's poop, and it's indisputable.
And Li Shimin, who can listen to the will of the people in a timely manner, not only will no one continue to complain, but has become the object of praise from everyone.
The remarks that the disaster originated from His Majesty's immorality, and it was completely out of the market, and Li Shimin's improper position was rarely mentioned, as if overnight, Li Shimin became the eternal monarch praised by everyone.
So is public opinion important? If it doesn't matter, why are there so many instances in later generations that have been stabbed on the Internet and solved immediately after being watched by everyone? It shows that many people value people's hearts and minds.
Of course, in Lin Sen's opinion, the results of some things are a bit too much, in the case of the law to follow, there is no need to punish beyond the specifications, no matter how you look at it, it means to please public opinion, but it feels a little kidnapped.
But looking at this matter now, it is naturally very happy, at least seeing that the Cui family has fallen blood mold, Lin Sen is really as comfortable as eating ice cream on dog days.
Yes! You guys used to pick people to find fault with us at every turn, and you tried to kill us so many times, but now it's really a good thing, and the retribution is not happy, so put your own old life inside.
And after Li Shimin's actions, this Boling Cui clan can be said to have been nailed to the pillar of shame in history, and the original innocent reputation was ruined.
Fame is like this, it is difficult to establish, it may take years, decades, or even hundreds of years of painstaking management, but if you want to destroy it, all you need is a stain.
Of course, the Cui family has completely lost power in Chang'an, and it is likely that they can only be silent in the last one or two generations, but after all, they have been in business for so many years, and their influence cannot be underestimated in the place where they started.
In the base camp where these families are located, ordinary people really only know that they have a home, but they don't know that there is a country.
But for Lin Sen, what he wants is their silence, and he won't run to the old nest of other people's families to show off the market, it is really possible to die in vain. He has only been going back and forth between Zhongnan Mountain and Chang'an City recently, so he can guarantee that he can spend his birthday here.
The people of other families who have been a little anxious recently obviously won't think about such a mysterious thing to Lin Sen, even if he has more wonderful ideas, can he still summon Tianhuo?
really has such a ability, they don't need to look for Lin Sen's bad luck anymore, Li Shimin has to kill him first, who is the emperor, and he doesn't want to have this kind of guy who can kill himself at any time to live in the world.
Is it possible to expect a guy like them, who is accustomed to controlling the fate of others, to hope that one of his subordinates can always appreciate their face and not kill them? Or let them curry favor with a subordinate? That must be unwilling, and nipping the danger in the bud is the first reaction.
Lin Sen also knew that the emperor had such a urine, so he made up his mind from the beginning, this time he must not let anyone know that he did it, even Li Mu, who had actually become a dead soldier in his own family, did not handle this matter, but Lin Sen himself did it.
After getting the letter and knowing that Cui Gan also died on it, Lin Sen was even more determined to completely rot this matter in his stomach.
However, it is just that Li Shimin took advantage of the situation, and his heart was indeed extremely happy, but the drought and locust plague in front of him still had to be solved as soon as possible, as long as he did it well, he could not gain more respect.
And he already has a rough outline of this method.
