Chapter 167: Refuting Rumors

The rumors are becoming more and more fermenting, and some people have begun to rumor that the saints no longer believe in scholars, and the status of scholars is suppressed...... There are millions of scholars in the world, and some scholars who don't know the truth begin to complain. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info even worse, there is almost no jumping into the river to illustrate this ambition.

These chaos were secretly reported to Lu Chengqi through the Supervision Department for the first time, Lu Chengqi patted his head and secretly wondered: "How can you forget this matter, the best weapon in your hand, but forget to use it, who can blame you?" ”

He hurriedly summoned Liu Geng, a cabinet member, to implement this plan. After Liu Geng received the oracle from Xiaohuangmen, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went to the Vertical Arch Hall to meet Lu Chengqi.

When Lu Chengqi saw him, he said with a split face: "Liu Qing, you hurry up and write an article about what I mean, send it to Dashun Minbao and let them publish it, saying that it is the headline on the front page of the next issue." ”

Liu Geng didn't dare to ask more, and quietly waited for Lu Chengqi to follow. “…… In this article, I mainly clarify the facts, and explain that the day before yesterday, I had no intention of suppressing scholars, but on the contrary, I encouraged the wealthy squires to open Mongolian schools so that more people could read and write. These troublemakers were just arrested and questioned for violating the "Great Shun Law", not to suppress readers. After being detained for ten days in accordance with the law, they will naturally be released......"

Lu Chengqi said while Liu Geng remembered it carefully. As the emperor's secretary, he had long known that "Dashun Minbao" was founded by Lu Chengqi. And this newspaper is too authoritative, as long as he prepares an article, he will send it to the newspaper. On the second day, you will be able to see it in the headlines. With the influence of "Dashun Minbao", it will definitely not take a few days to clarify these rumors.

Lu Chengqi gushed to himself: "...... What I said is not to be judged by speech, and it will take effect in the future. But this is not a crime based on speech, it is not a basis for making trouble for the people of the world, you can make speeches, but you can't gather people to make trouble. There will be such a situation in the future. The state capitals in all regions should be quickly suppressed. Readers, just talk about it, why do it? It's really against the way of a gentleman! Meantime. I would like to warn those with ulterior motives that if I am caught, they will be punished with capital punishment for inciting treason! ”

When Lu Chengqi said the last sentence, he was already murderous. Gnash one's teeth. Hearing this sonorous voice, Liu Geng's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said: "Obey!" ”

After bidding farewell to the vertical arch hall, Liu Geng was particularly palpitating. Lu Chengqi's murderous aura was like a boulder, which made Liu Geng breathless. Liu Geng had no doubt that Lu Chengqi's anger of wanting to kill was fake. Any emperor who thinks of killing people when his rule is shaken.

"Well, I just don't know. How many heads have fallen to the ground this time......" Thinking of this, Liu Geng shivered, and in this sunny day, he actually shivered! One can imagine how scared he was in his heart.

As Liu Geng, who has won the sixth class of Jinshi B, he is ready to write an article. According to Lu Chengqi's meaning, he quickly prepared it. This article refuted the rumors in righteous words, and at the same time strongly supported Lu Chengqi's policy intentions and appeased the world's scholars. What's more. This article is not a quotation from the classics, but a straightforward description of the language, as long as anyone who knows how to read, can understand it.

Liu Geng arrived at the side hall. After writing the article, I was about to send it to the Vertical Arch Hall, but was stopped by the chamberlain. It turned out that it was Lu Chengqi who was summoning Xu Jingchun, director of the Supervision Department, and the chamberlain asked Liu Geng to wait for a while.

Liu Geng heard this, and his heart "chuckled". Secretly said: "This time, the little emperor can be regarded as serious, and I don't know who is so bold that he dares to touch the bottom line of the little emperor?" Who is one of the people of heaven who is easy to mess with? If you don't move, it's just thunder. In the palm of your hand, anyone will turn into powder! Alas, these people are too bold......"

In the vertical arch hall, Lu Chengqi's face was as usual, quietly listening to Xu Jingchun's report. I only heard Xu Jingchun say: "...... Some supervisors found out that the person who wrote the manuscript of the "Book Society Newspaper" was a newcomer. The ministers followed the vine and found the Tongwenkan......"

As soon as the three words "Tongwenguan" came out, Xu Jingchun raised his eyes and looked at Lu Chengqi, but saw that he didn't say anything, so he hurriedly continued: "...... The ministers affirmed that this incident was caused by the Goryeo mission. It's just that why they did this, the ministers are incompetent, and they can't find out the intentions of the Goryeo mission. Whether there is still someone pushing behind it, there is also a clue, and the ...... cannot be detected."

Lu Chengqi's face was calm, but at this moment, in his heart, there were turbulent waves: "Goryeo Mission? What did Cui Jie'an come up with? It can't be so simple, the people sent out by the Goryeo Kingdom have not yet returned, and they have not been able to reply to my requests. How dare you provoke me so much? There must be someone behind the scenes, who is this person and what purpose is it going to achieve? ”

Lu Chengqi thought about it over and over again, but Xu Jingchun was scared. In this scorching hot weather, he actually broke out in a cold sweat. He said in his heart: "Could it be that the little emperor is dissatisfied?" But I really can't find anything, those people are too cunning, too good at hiding themselves. But this kind of thing, how can you say it to the little emperor, isn't it admitting that the Supervision Department is incompetent! ”

Just when Xu Jingchun was infinitely sad, Lu Chengqi suddenly asked: "Who is the biggest beneficiary in this matter?" ”

Xu Jingchun was stunned, his mind was spinning unfast, and he didn't react for a while. After thinking about it for a while, Xu Jingchun shook his head and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the biggest beneficiary of this matter will not be the Goryeo Kingdom or the Liao Kingdom. Inciting the scholars to make trouble is just to criticize the new law. From this point of view, it should be the interests of some people. It's just that the minister is stupid, and he hasn't thought of who is so bold......"

Lu Chengqi nodded and said, "Xu Qing, you have a good idea, and you have made a lot of progress!" I also think the same way, my new law has indeed touched the interests of many people, especially in the matter of official salt and coinage. I have a hunch that I can definitely find out from these two aspects! Xu Qing, after you go back, immediately launch a secret investigation, I want to know where the salt merchants who used to store salt and the rich gentry who paid money are now! Remember, you can't startle the snake, this time the enemy is not trivial. Their power is not under the Supervision Department. Remember, even if you can't find out, you can't startle the snake. I'm afraid that when the time comes, these people will be in a hurry, and things will get worse and worse. ”

Xu Jingchun said heavily: "The minister's order! ”

Lu Chengqi waved his hand and said, "You go and do something, I am waiting for your good news......"

After Xu Jingchun cautiously walked out of the vertical arch hall, he saw Liu Geng who was asking to be seen. The two made eye contact, but did not speak. But each of them saw something from each other, that is, the little emperor was serious this time. (To be continued.) )
