Chapter 52: Uncorrected (7)
Although Li Ye's layer of window paper blinded most of the people who did not know the truth, it could not escape the eyes of the scholars in Chang'an City who studied the books of sages and sages.
They wrote notices and posted them in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, denouncing Li Ye's evil deeds, and in just half an hour, the scholars of the two counties joined one after another, and even Mai Changqing, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, also joined in to support the scholars' practices.
With the support of Mai Changqing, more and more people joined, in addition to scholars, there were also businessmen, ironworkers, inns, and wine shops, in short, this action mobilized all the living forces in Chang'an City.
These people surrounded Li Ye's Shouwang Mansion and asked Li Ye to come out and give them an explanation, if they didn't come out, they wouldn't leave.
Li Ye didn't expect that one stone would stir up a thousand waves, and the small proclamation actually angered the people of Chang'an, and he was shocked and blamed Huang Luzhi for acting too recklessly.
"General Huang, this is your bad idea? So many people are besieging my Shouwang Mansion, let alone a hundred days, today this king will have to be eaten alive by these Diao people's livelihoods, how can it be good! Otherwise, take down the poster! Let's take a long-term view."
Seeing that Li Ye was about to retreat, Huang Luzhi hurriedly persuaded.
"There is no turning back arrow from the bow, soft-heartedness is not a disease, turning back is fatal, those who oppose you are just the mastermind behind the scenes sent to attack and disturb you, he wants to see how many hole cards you have, this is not how much, that is, the palace is surrounded, you are so frightened that you retreat, if you collide head-on with the people hiding in the shadows, you are not going to die and be buried?"
Li Ye was anxious.
"General Huang, don't be sarcastic and sarcastic about me, just tell me what this king should do!"
Huang Luzhi said slowly.
"The only way to do this is to fight ......"
"Hit?"
"It's impossible to fight, they're all people, they're all your people in the future, the palms and backs of your hands are meat, and you're going to be the emperor in the future, they're your capital, so you can only outwit and not attack for now."
Li Ye asked suspiciously.
"How to outwit? Where to outwit it? ”
Huang Luzhi's confident way.
"Weichen heard that one of the troublemakers was named Mai Changqing, who was a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and he was very prestigious among the people of Chang'an City, so it was better to invite him to the mansion, no need to beat or scold, lock him up for a year and a half, and the rabble would naturally fade away like a flood without a leader."
As soon as the words fell, Li Ye said again and again: "Wonderful, really wonderful!" Why didn't this king think of it! ”
As soon as the words fell, Huang Luzhi searched left and right, Li Ye asked him what he was looking for, Huang Luzhi said while looking: Why is there a cat barking in the imperial study?
Listening to Huang Luzhi's attention, Li Ye sent someone to secretly arrest Mai Changqing to Shouwang's Mansion.
"Lord Mai is here, rare guests, although you and I are officials in the same dynasty, but I haven't seen each other for a long time, I thought that I would invite adults to come to the house for a small gathering when I was free, but I didn't expect to meet on such an occasion, it's really rude!"
Mai Changqing was tied up by Wuhua and was still at Li Ye's feet.
"King Shou is really polite, that's how he treats his colleagues? I used to hear people say that King Shou was scheming, not deep friendship, today I saw that it was really extraordinary, forget it, what's the use of saying this, I have become your prisoner, if you want to kill, you have to listen to it! ”
Li Ye unhurriedly untied the rope tied to Mai Changqing's body.
"Lord Mai's words are wrong, others don't understand me, you Lord Mai don't understand me, since I regard Lord Mai as a confidant, just tell the truth! Since ancient times, the king has lost his morality, and it is the inevitable trend of historical development that the capable can replace him. If I can achieve great things, Lord Mai's status is not as simple as the Ministry of Rites, Lord Mai is a smart person, you know what to do, and I, there is a deep meaning here, I want to argue and forget to speak, not to mention that everyone is a smart person, and I don't need to talk to a smart person, and I hope that Lord Mai will understand the king's painstaking work."
