Chapter 439: Rushing to the Palace
Indeed, as Li Feng thought, Li Shimin is now anxious, angry and helpless. For these scholars who knelt on the ground outside to petition, he really didn't know what to do.
This matter, take care of it, I don't know how to manage it. To go out and convince these people, you don't even have to think about it, it's just a waste of words. Unless it can meet their requirements, this is absolutely impossible. Send troops to suppress them, or throw them all into prison? Li Shimin had this impulse, but he had to consider the consequences of the impulse.
First of all, as Li Feng guessed, once he did this, he Li Shimin would have a bad reputation. It's like Qin Shi Huang burning books and pit Confucianism. In addition, there is a more important reason, that is, the management and construction of the country are inseparable from these people for the time being. The time has not yet come.
However, if it doesn't matter, it's not the same thing to let these people kneel outside like this. How ugly it is to hear this thing when it spreads, and it is detrimental to the reputation of the country. If this continues, these people will not get a response, and they will definitely have to make more noise, and when the time comes, it will be even more troublesome.
"I don't know what's going on with the fourth brother, but don't make a big basket."
Thinking of the situation in front of the palace gate, Li Shimin immediately thought of the situation on Li Feng's side. In his heart, he was even more worried about the situation on Li Feng's side.
"Your Majesty's ......."
"Tell me what's going on on King Yong's side?"
Just when Li Shimin was full of worry and guessing the situation on Li Feng's side, an inner servant hurriedly bent over and ran in, Li Shimin saw that this was the inner servant who was responsible for inquiring about Li Feng's situation, so he didn't wait for the other party to salute at all. I asked a little anxiously.
"King Yong's side has already dealt with the matter, His Royal Highness King Yong directly led the Black Tiger soldiers and horses to arrive, arrested all the people who were about to smash the store, and then ordered people to take them to the monument, and one person beat twenty military sticks...... Moreover, each person was fined 20 times, saying that it was ...... These people have delayed the business of the store. Fine"
Thinking of the scene when Li Feng dealt with the group of scholars at that time, this waiter was also shocked. He has been in this palace for countless years, and he has seen and heard a lot of things, big and small, but, like this time. Like Li Feng, it is the first time I have seen such a behavior of not saying anything at all, not even saying a word, and directly doing it.
After all, according to the convention, everything pays attention to a teacher to be famous. However, this time, people didn't talk about this at all, and they did that neatly.
"Twenty sticks? A fine of 20 yuan? Gone? .......Well, that's right. Did those students do anything afterwards? ”
Who knows, this chamberlain is far underestimating Li Shimin's ability to bear, or Li Feng's ability to cause trouble in Li Shimin's heart. When the emperor heard his report, he didn't show any anger. The signs of anxiety made the waiter feel a little. It was as if the emperor had decided that this was not enough.
Of course, Li Shimin quickly discovered that his words were inappropriate, and then immediately asked about the reaction of those scholars afterwards, which was also what he was most concerned about.
"What else can I do, one by one hurriedly paid the money, and I was so frightened that I hurriedly asked someone to carry them home, and those who didn't have money immediately borrowed money from their companions next to them. At that speed, it was like running for your life. But also, even when I watched from the sidelines, I didn't dare to take a breath. Unexpectedly, the Black Tiger Army put on armor, rode a war horse, and picked up weapons to become so terrifying, and it made people feel a chill when they were far away. Not to mention those scholars, there are ...... Ah, please forgive your majesty, the villain has too many mouths......"
Recalling the situation of seeing the heavily armed Black Tiger Army, this chamberlain suddenly forgot where this was and who he was reporting to. And he began to describe what he had seen there. However, this can't be blamed on him, but the momentum of this heavily armed Black Tiger Army is really amazing.
You won't understand it until you experience it up close. And those who have experienced this feeling can finally understand why the Black Tiger Army was able to confront tens of thousands of Turkic troops with a small 1,000 men and horses on the Dingxiang battlefield. If it were him, it would be very likely that he would tremble when he saw this Black Tiger Army rushing towards him, let alone fight with them.
"Okay, you go down, well, pay close attention to the movements of the scholars, and if you find something, come and report it immediately."
However, after Li Shimin heard this, he didn't mean to be angry at all, but just explained and asked the chamberlain to retreat.
"Hehe, sure enough, it was Xiucai who met the soldiers, and it was unreasonable. It seems that I really responded to the words of the fourth brother, the leper is afraid of the horizontal, I also came to learn this ....... no, no, forget it, let's think of a way slowly, it's really a headache." You can't fight, you can't scold, you can't kill, you can't make sense, you can't tell. If you love to kneel, kneel, I still don't believe that they can kneel through the stone at the entrance of the palace. I just hope it doesn't go too far, if not......."
Things can't be done for a while, and Li Shimin doesn't want to think about it anymore. Since the other party is willing to consume, it is better to consume it like this. As for provoking jokes, it's good to make others laugh. Thinking of this, he was ready to sit back in front of the dragon case and prepare to deal with official business.
"Report, Your Majesty, it's no good, His Royal Highness King Yong is coming towards the palace with the Black Tiger Army. Whereas...... Moreover, they are all heavily armed"
Who knows, at this time, there was a more urgent sound from outside the temple gate, and then, another chamberlain ran in sweating profusely.
"What? Quick, go with me immediately...... Well, wait, wait, go, go with me and have a look."
When he heard that Li Feng was coming over with the Black Tiger Army, he was taken aback. Of course, unlike this chamberlain, Li Shimin was not worried about what threat Li Feng posed to this palace. Li Feng led the team to storm the palace, it was absolutely impossible, and Li Shimin was absolutely sure of this. Even if he really wanted to break into the palace, he wouldn't bring people with him, he would only go alone.
And since this possibility has been ruled out, there is no doubt that he has only one purpose for this side with his men and horses. That's for the gang out there. Li Feng's fiery temperament, how could he, Li Shimin, not know. If those people dared to smash his shop, he would definitely dare to bring people and horses to clean up this gang and return the color.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin was frightened, because he immediately realized that it was strange that the Black Tiger Army didn't tear the weak scholars outside to pieces.
Soon, though. He realized that his own ideas were wrong. According to Fang Cai's report, for those who wanted to smash the store, Li Feng just ordered someone to beat twenty military sticks and pay some money. There's no reason to come here and go on a killing spree, it's not logical.
Come to mind. If he rushes there, it will probably make things even more unmanageable. When the time comes, he, the emperor, will be caught in the middle, and it can be said that he is in a dilemma.
However, it doesn't work if you don't go, in case the time comes, the fourth brother really loses his temper. Who knows what will happen. And in this world, who can stop this fourth brother, he Li Shimin can barely be regarded as one. Looking at the past, he can rest assured. And. He also wanted to see what tricks this increasingly unpredictable fourth brother wanted to play.
Therefore, think about it. The best thing to do, of course, is to go quietly.
As for the emperor's thoughts, it is naturally impossible for the chamberlain to know. But. The emperor had already ordered a secret visit, and of course he could only obey the order and run out first to make arrangements. You must know that there are many people in this palace, and if you want to act secretly, you must make some arrangements.
There were obviously more people petitioning at the entrance of the palace than there were people who went to smash the shop, at least there were thousands of people, all of whom knelt at the gate of the palace in unison, and even blocked the door. And there were also a lot of people gathered around to see the excitement, pointing at these people in the field, and then you and I began to discuss it word by word. It can be said that the entrance of the palace at this time can be described as very lively.
"Ah...... Get out of the way, there's an army coming."
"Oops, why is it the Black Tiger Army, why are they here again, haha, this time there is a good show to watch"
From afar, you could hear the roaring hooves of horses, and when you looked back, you found that it was a cavalryman, so someone immediately shouted. And some of the people who had just moved their positions from the square suddenly saw that it was the Black Tiger Army who had arrived, and they immediately became happy. I just watched an exciting show over there, but I didn't expect that I could continue to watch it when I came here.
"Hehe, these guys, I said stupid or not. In this winter, kneeling on the ground, I don't know the cold."
It was the Black Tiger Army led by Li Feng himself, and Li Feng, who was at the front of the team, looked at the avenue where the lively people came out, and found that there were so many people kneeling here, and he muttered a little gloating in his mouth. However, muttering and muttering, the speed of the war horse under him did not decrease in the slightest.
As the Black Tiger Army straddled the war horses, a neat team lined up, and the previous gallop continued to gallop and keep approaching. Those people who originally wanted to watch the excitement suddenly felt a burst of evil coming, and their bodies involuntarily began to retreat continuously, and the gap that got out of the way was getting bigger and bigger.
The group of scholars who were kneeling on the ground also discovered this anomaly, and many of them began to turn their heads one after another, wanting to see what was going on. However, just after taking such a look, my heart suddenly began to bubble up. Especially those at the back, when they saw such a large group of cavalry rushing towards them quickly, they wanted to stand up and dodge.
However, maybe I have been kneeling for a long time, and my legs are a little numb. Maybe he was frightened by the posture of the Black Tiger Army, his legs were a little weak, and he was anxious and scared. Therefore, as soon as they stood up and were about to flee, they immediately fell to the ground, and then looked at the Black Tiger Army that was getting closer and closer, and they began to scream one by one.
"Calm down, calm the old man......."
These scholars pay more attention to a seniority, and the last ones are those who are younger and less qualified, and the ones in front are of course those who are highly respected seniors or gentlemen. However, at this time, because they all turned around, it just happened to be the other way around.
After the chaos, the dishes that had been in front and were now at the back of the line reacted. After all, as an old-timer, he has seen a lot more scenes than these young people, so there are people there who are desperately shouting to keep everyone calm.
They didn't believe that the Black Tiger Army would dare to do anything to them at the gate of this palace. And after hearing these voices, it really calmed down the mood of those who were flustered.
