Chapter 338: A stage to show your strengths
I can't help Yang Guang not be angry, he held a court meeting at this time in order to be able to speak widely and listen to everyone's opinions.
However, for now, the burden is still on his shoulders.
If everything needs to be solved by him, the emperor, then what else do the courtiers do?
"If you can't solve the chaos in Jiangdu, one of you present will be counted as one, and I will deduct all of your three years!" Yang Guang said viciously.
Hearing this, the ministers couldn't stop shivering.
Under Yang Guang's oppression, they are already poor enough, and if they are deducted for another three years, do they want to live?
"Your Majesty, the chaos in Jiangdu this time is all caused by the plague, and the current plan is to solve the plague as soon as possible, otherwise there is no other way." An elderly courtier said tremblingly.
"Punishment!"
Yang Guang glanced at him and said indifferently.
“……”
The courtier who spoke only felt that the world was spinning for a while, and he almost fainted.
Everyone else looked at him with pity.
At this time, it was clear to everyone that what Yang Guang wanted to hear was a way to solve the problem, not to ask them to raise difficulties or say something unrealistic.
Those who can't see this clearly deserve to be punished.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, it is better to follow the current method first and suppress it first." Another official stepped out of the crowd and was quite cautious in his words: "After all, the common people are powerless to be enemies of our court, as long as the suppression is long enough to delay until the plague is completely resolved." ”
"When the time comes, without the hidden danger of the plague, they will naturally be quiet."
"Punishment!"
This time, Yang Guang still didn't grind at all, and glared at him deadly: "According to what you say, the matter is settled, what about public opinion?" Don't want public opinion? I have worked so hard to manage the image for so long, and I have failed overnight, and I have been called a faint gentleman again? ”
"This ......" The official was dumbfounded, knowing that he had touched the tiger's ass again, and hung his head in frustration.
Seeing this scene, the others, including Pei Ju and the others, all shrunk their necks and didn't dare to say anything more.
If you say something wrong, you will have to be fined for three years, who can afford it?
They are all praying that a savior will emerge and stand up to turn the tide.
In the crowd, there was silence for a long time, and finally a voice came: "Your Majesty, leave this matter to me to deal with, I have a way to calm Jiangdu." ”
Hearing this, many eyes looked over, but found that it was Xue Yan, the chief supervisor.
"Xue Yan, what can you do?" Yang Guang stared at her.
"This matter may be difficult for other colleagues... But for me, it's very simple. Xue Yan's eyes were very calm: "The minister has been in charge of the regulatory agency for so long, and he has eradicated a lot of corrupt officials and corrupt officials for the common people, believe me, it should have a certain weight in their hearts." ”
"Of course, it must be quite difficult for me alone to suppress the whole city, so the minister still needs the help of one person......"
"You mean Li Shi, right?" Yang Guang raised his eyebrows, but then made another mistake: "Li Wei is in Jiangnan at the moment, even if I transfer him back, it will take more than half a month, it should be too late, right?" ”
Outside the city, the laborers have been building roads, even if they are affected by the plague.
It's just that the time is too short after all, and so far, it has only barely been repaired halfway, so it is impossible to shorten the time too much in the matter of transferring Li back to Jiangdu.
"It's going to be too late." Xue Yan was slightly disappointed.
"You can be alone, I believe in you." Yang Guang threw an encouraging look at Xue Yan: "My little junior sister will not be worse than anyone else. ”
"Okay, Command!" Xue Yan's confidence rose again in her heart.
At the end of the court meeting, the sadness on Yang Guang's face was undoubtedly much less.
He is still very confident in Xue Yan's ability to do things, but he also owes himself to his foresight and set up a regulatory agency against public opinion, otherwise, no matter how capable Xue Yan is, he will lack a stage to show his strength.
As soon as he thought of this, Yang Guang undoubtedly admired himself even more.
Think of such a wise monarch, how many can there be in the world?
At least in this day and age, he is the only one who can dominate the game......
And Xue Yan did not disappoint him, the next day, Xue Yan entered the palace to admonish and reported to Yang Guang that he had just investigated an important matter.
"Your Majesty, no, senior brother...... I found that there may be someone behind the people's turmoil in Jiangdu. As soon as he came up, Xue Yan threw a king bomb to Yang Guang.
Yang Guang was directly circled: "In today's Jiangdu, is there still such an awesome character?" ”
"As for the identity of this person, I have not yet investigated clearly, but based on the available information, it can basically be concluded that most of the ordinary people who gathered at the city gate and wanted to leave the city were instigated by others."
"No wonder ......"
Yang Guang licked his lips and said fiercely: "No wonder the people suddenly rioted, this matter is too bizarre." It's not surprising if someone had carefully planned it. ”
Xue Yan said with a solemn gaze: "After knowing this clue, I immediately sent someone to track down this batch of culprits hiding behind the scenes, although I didn't catch a big fish, I did catch some small shrimp." ”
"Most of these people are hard-mouthed, and before I could ask clearly, they committed suicide, but, judging from their conversation, they should be people from Chang'an."
Hearing this, Yang Guang's eyes shot a sharp light.
"Li Shimin?"
On the Chang'an side, although there has been no obvious action for so long, but secretly, there are constant small movements, but this is also in line with Li Shimin's character, he likes to secretly make some small braids for people.
With such quality, it is destined to be difficult to become a great tool.
Yang Guang's eyes flashed with ferocity.
He smiled at Xue Yan again: "Now that these disasters have been eliminated, the common people should be able to pacify them soon, right?" ”
"Almost."
Xue Yan said rigorously: "The minister is spreading the news everywhere, saying that the plague has been resolved...... If there is anything wrong in this matter, I hope Your Majesty will forgive you. ”
"Hehe, what's wrong with you?"
Yang Guang's eyes flickered, and he said meaningfully: "Sometimes, white lies are still necessary. Moreover, what I value most at the moment is not the plague, but the people's heart, do you understand? ”
"I understand."
A hint of confidence appeared in Xue Yan's eyes: "The minister will definitely not further lower the morale of His Majesty's people, and will try to keep it above a certain level." ”
"Well, when you do it, I will have a great reward." Yang Guang grinned and smiled with satisfaction.
