Chapter 1516: The Dust Has Settled

By the time the sun stretched the shadows of the house to the fullest, String City had calmed down again.

The previous battle seemed to have not survived at all, the city guards, the Praetorian Guards, and the Imperial Guards were all back in place, and there was no riot in the streets, not even an official investigation.

The imperial court issued an official document, and Yuelianshan, the general of the Moon Kingdom, took the initiative to resign for some inconvenient reasons, and decided to leave the Moon Kingdom. Her Majesty did not punish him for his crimes, except for the removal of his post from the people, and even went so far as to keep him by his side.

But His Royal Highness the Northern King had no intention of turning back, and the two broke out into a skirmish.

And now, Yuelian Mountain has nothing to do with the Moon Country.

This official document made many Xiancheng officials and people have mixed feelings, and for a while, no one could comment on half of it.

Some of them can actually see that the conflict between His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Northern King may not be as simple as stated in the official document, after all, the momentum at that time was like a big war at all.

However, in any case, both of them are still alive after all, and the three armies of Xiancheng do not seem to have suffered any large-scale casualties.

The most important thing is that the Moon Country will not fall into civil strife because of this, which may be good news.

yes, good news......

The person they have been denouncing all this time has finally been 'sanctioned'. His title is gone, and the position of general is gone, this should be regarded as a heavy punishment, right? After all, with that person's strength, it is impossible to be put in prison or even executed.

However, for some reason, there was no cheer on the street at all because the court 'acted impartially and punished evil', and there was no cheering because the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the people.

Many people returned home silently after reading the official document, and they did not make a sound for a long time, let alone laugh.

They have every reason to cheer, isn't this what they originally wanted? The tumor of the Moon Country that they are haunting about, the source of the shady curtain that no one can cure has finally been removed, this is the victory of justice over power!

They don't know why they can't be happy, why they are so heavy.

Perhaps, it's just because I'm not used to it.

The person who was not used to being almost a symbol of the Moon Country had really suddenly become irrelevant to the Moon Country.

......

Two days later, in the Xiancheng Palace, Zhou Zichuan, who was dressed in a eunuch robe, bowed down and walked into the study.

"The servant knocks to your majesty. Holding a dossier in both hands, he bowed to the woman in the room.

As Lin Si expected, after the palace hall was in ruins because of the battle between him and Lian Qin, Luo Ning had to replace it with a side hall in the past two days.

At this time, after the next dynasty, Zhou Zichuan came over to report something to her.

Zhou Zichuan's existence is still a secret, but Yue Luoning will let him come to the stage sooner or later, because this person is really useful.

But on the other hand, she didn't plan to let Zhou Zichuan stand in the court. She will reuse Zhou Zichuan, but the eunuch costume is enough to explain her attitude towards Zhou Zichuan.

"What's the matter?" she asked, without looking up.

She still hadn't put down the pen in her hand, and the shocking scars on her face from yesterday's battle didn't seem to exist.

"There was some commotion in the city. ”

"What kind of commotion? because of Lin Si?" Yue Luoning finally drew a hint of attention.

"Yes...... Some literati took the opportunity to refute him, bluntly saying that he was the first sinner since the founding of the Yue Kingdom, and some people asked His Majesty why he didn't put him in prison and deal with him heavily, thinking that His Majesty was bending the law for personal gain to protect his relatives, and a business newspaper in the city also published a document against Lin Si. ”

"And then?" said Yue Luoning noncommittally.

"Then some people in the city tore off the inscription and besieged and smashed the chamber of commerce......" Zhou Zichuan secretly glanced at Yue Luoning, and he was not sure of Yue Luoning's attitude after hearing this.

Those people are helping Lin Si to get angry, which means that they still miss Lin Si, this should be what Yue Luoning doesn't want to see, right?

"Are they fighting for Lin Siping?"

"Sort of......

"Heh, what did they do earlier?" a sneer flashed in Yue Luoning's eyes.

"Please also ask Your Majesty to signal the minions and others what to do?"

Yue Luoning pondered for a moment before he said expressionlessly: "Let them smash it and withdraw the city guards." ”

"Huh?" Zhou Zichuan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly understood: "Your Majesty is planning to ......"

"Yes, you're not too stupid after all. Some people got carried away some time ago, and that's not good. They are no longer needed, and many things should return to normal. ”

Zhou Zichuan was completely convinced, and he said loudly: "The slave understands!"

Yes, he understood, he had already guessed what Yue Luoning wanted to do.

In order to crack down on Lin Si before, Yue Luoning secretly added fuel to the fire and led a 'tide of falling forests' in the cultural and academic circles of the Moon Kingdom. Because of the acquiescence and connivance of the imperial court, for a while, celebrities, bachelors, scholars, scholars, and students from all walks of life in the Yue Kingdom, as well as those business newspapers, criticized Lin Si one after another, almost scolding as much as they wanted, and no one cared about it at all.

There is a saying that three people become tigers, and the more people say it, the more times it is said, it will gradually be regarded as true by many people. As a result, not only the academic community, but also the trend of the people became unfavorable to Lin Si, and many people began to dislike Lin Si.

So far, the inverted forest calculation is more than half of the success.

A large part of the reason why Lin Si had the idea of retiring in the square in front of the palace the day before yesterday was actually because he was cold to the people of the Moon Country. It can be said that the Seven Deadly Sins still played a role after all, and Yue Luoning can be regarded as having achieved her goal, otherwise even if Lin Si would retreat the day before yesterday, he would probably raise troops to overthrow Yue Luoning and take revenge after he returned.

But there are often gains and losses in everything, and the same is true for Lin Dachao, in the matter of bringing down Lin Si, the academic community of the Moon Kingdom was secretly used as a gun by Yue Luoning. But because of this, the current academic world of the Moon Kingdom has become too 'free'.

How could it be that they just criticized Lin Si every day, they would criticize and discuss many things.

In the past, the government and military affairs that could not be discussed at all, the secrets of the royal family, government decrees and measures, and even some heart-wrenching remarks that could not be speculated about at all, emerged one after another during that period.

It's hard to say whether this matter is good or bad, but this is definitely not what Yue Luoning wants to see. She didn't see that if she continued like this, her rule would probably be in trouble.

In the end, she has to look at the faces of these literati and act? This is something she can't tolerate, in her opinion, what will a sour and rotten literati do except empty talk, how can she Yue Luoning be swayed by others?

However, in order to defeat Lin Si at the beginning, this tide Yue Luo Ning couldn't stop at all. Now it's getting more and more intense, and I can't stop it at all.

Now she doesn't need those business newspapers and literati for the time being, but even if she wants to 'cross the river and tear down the bridge', it's not that simple.

In the past, where did these people dare to ask the imperial court to do anything? Where did they dare to openly accuse Her Majesty of favoritism and cover-up? Even if they discussed it privately, they dared to openly post it and publicize it everywhere? When Yueshan was in power, even if he did not kill his head, he would be imprisoned.

It's a pity that Yue Luoning has deliberately made an enlightened and tolerant image before, and he doesn't seem to care, but now if he directly seals down and suppresses the rebellion, it will only cause a great backlash, and even the people will be dissatisfied, feeling that the court is blocking the mouths of the people.

So, it's really not easy to do.

But Yue Luoning is Yue Luoning, and she already has a better solution.

Just as she used the academic world of the Moon Kingdom to be an enemy of Lin Si and finally involved all the people of the Moon Kingdom, this time she also found an enemy for these academic literati.

Lin Si finally left, maybe because he really left and never came back, the Moon Kingdom has been missing an Optimus Pillar since then, and there is no longer this Heavenly Book Ce No. 1 general. Many people began to feel uneasy in their hearts, and they were even worried about the future of the Moon Country, worried that the Moon Kingdom without Lin Si would be beaten back to its original form.

As a result, some people began to recall his goodness. The consequences of this reflection have been unexpected.

Just after a big victory, he was forced away when he came back, which sounds a little unfair, but it is a little sympathetic. If you think about it carefully, that person has always been fighting for the Moon Country, hasn't he, he himself has never oppressed the people, and no one of the people of the Moon Country has ever suffered because of him, but he has been protecting them.

The Seven Deadly Sins...... It's actually far away from them, isn't it?

At this time, in fact, he couldn't speak ill of Lin Si, and Yue Luoning himself foresaw this from the beginning. Because of this, after Lin Si left, she didn't have the impatience to smear him and belittle him, she knew that it would make many people disgusted.

Even if you want to completely erase Lin Si's influence, you can't rush it for a while, you have to take it slowly.

However, some people don't understand!

Those people had been 'proud' for too long some time ago, and they were a little carried away, and defeating Lin Si made them feel that they had achieved a brilliant victory over the powerful and evil forces, and they even wanted a more relieving and hearty victory......

But I forgot that this kind of thing is not something that everyone likes to do, and frustrated people sometimes make people sympathize. In particular, Lin Si's influence among the people has not been completely eliminated, and there are still people who worship him.

Using the people's nostalgia and sympathy for Lin Si to crack down on those literati and celebrities in the academic world, and those who may start to have ulterior motives, this is the first step of Yue Luoning's plan.

Let the academic circles of the Moon Country and the ordinary people of the Moon Country gradually become antagonistic.

This fire couldn't be burned in the first place, after all, the nostalgia for Lin Si wouldn't be too long or too intense, and it wasn't enough to form an alternative 'war'.

However, it is different with Luo Ning's encouragement.

The literati and the common people of Shengdou cannot be completely regarded as people along the way, there are contradictions between them, it depends on how to provoke them. In addition to Lin Si's inducement, there are many things that can be used, and this fire will eventually burn more and more.

Therefore, she will not stop the people from besieging those literati and business newspapers now, she will also acquiesce and connive, and if necessary, she may even praise Lin Si for his virtues.

Those literati are destined to be dissatisfied, they will fight back, they even dare to denounce Lin Si, even the imperial court does not dare to touch them, and they are afraid of these ordinary people? They have forgotten how many catties and taels they have, and they will not tolerate such provocations.

Then the battle will become more and more fierce, and eventually they will really become the 'enemy' of the Moon Country.

When the time comes, Yue Luoning will clean them up again, which will be in line with public opinion......

After thinking about all this, how could Zhou Zichuan not be convinced? Yue Luoning had just learned about the riot outside, and it was obviously a bad thing, but in the blink of an eye, she had already thought of how to use it to seek the greatest benefit for herself.

She was not immersed in the joy of the victory of driving Lin Si away, nor was she clinging to the anger and hatred of being hijacked and scratched by Yin Li, she had already regained her calm and sober state, and had already seen farther away and started her next step.

Her Majesty's scheming methods made Zhou Zichuan feel faintly cold in his heart.

For the past two days, he had been speculating about how the battle in the square had subsided that day, but now that he had completely extinguished his inquiring heart, he was not even sure if Yue Luoning had seen through his thoughts.

"The slave knows what to do, and he will not disappoint His Majesty!"
