Chapter 131: Swinging the Knife
Changsun Wuji and the others couldn't guess the comments of the people in Chang'an City, but Li Ke knew that because the local snakes all over Chang'an City had no problem doing a basic intelligence collection work, besides, this kind of intelligence collection didn't take much effort on their part, just chatting with the people around them about these things to know their reactions.
When he knew that the latest issue of Datang Weekly had only sold 10,000 copies, or even less than that, Li Ke knew that the time was ripe and it was time to swing the knife.
"Let's get started." Li Ke spit out three words in his mouth, and he knew that when he said these three words, he didn't know how many people died in the end.
But he had to say it, and he had to say it.
With Li Ke's order, all the literati below him were extremely excited, because they had finally waited for this day.
They are already very proficient in how to write a suitable small poster, they have hundreds of people here, and it is impossible for everyone to paste small posters all over Chang'an City, in fact, there are only a few people who can paste Chang'an City, and most of them are only pasted with two or three square markets, and this part of them is responsible for the task of differentiated speech.
It is also a figure that is not clear to the outside world.
But with Li Ke's order, everyone began to concoct their own materials.
On the comment column the next day, a person suddenly blew himself up, the printing house of Datang Weekly was a firm under the name of Xingyang Zheng, and the name of the shopkeeper of this firm, all the personnel of the firm, etc., were clearly listed.
Even the cost of Xingyang Zheng was listed, saying that in order to speed up the printing of Datang Weekly, Xingyang Zheng lost at least more than 15 articles per newspaper.
Other than that, the man didn't say anything.
But this news is combined with the "agenda setting" carried out by Li Ke to lock the "stereotype" of Datang Weekly, and Datang Weekly is "controlled by the gate valve family". Everyone has an inherent impression of this, so when this revelation came out, all the people contacted it as soon as possible.
His Royal Highness the King of Shu is right, this Xingyang Zheng family is manipulating the Tang Weekly!
In just one day, Xingyang Zheng's reputation in Chang'an City stinks! But the person who broke the news didn't say anything at all, just said some facts, and everything was spontaneous associations of the people.
And at this time, someone suddenly remembered the "Golden Bottle Plum" serialized by "Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng" in the past few days, and isn't the protagonist in it Zheng Ximen? "The Golden Vase of Plums" has been serialized to the point of comparison, and everyone who reads this book and claims to be a literati has to scold it for being unsightly, but it is interesting to read it.
On the contrary, the people don't think that Mr. Lanling really understands the people.
And at this time, as soon as the matter of the Zheng family in Xingyang happened, everyone instantly thought of Zheng Ximen, which was just a side branch, and it could not be called a family of mensmen, it was a wealthy family, but the erosion of its life and the decay of its interior, I didn't think it was like it before, because their attention was attracted by the key plot.
But now, everyone remembers it.
It's ...... Unsightly!
Even Mr. Lanling used two lines of poetry at the end of a chapter to describe it: Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road!
And this is just the beginning, the next day, more people began to break the news about the evil things done by the Zheng family in Xingyang, and these evil things are nothing more than forcibly occupying people's land, robbing people's daughters, forcibly buying and selling, and so on.
These charges don't seem to be too heavy in the eyes of the powerful, but it is a matter of identity, and in the eyes of the people, it means that the family is ruined! Because everyone can bring in themselves!
It can be described as a crowd of outrage!
Li Ke didn't let anyone investigate these revelations, because there was no need to investigate, these things were put on the gate valve family, and a check was accurate, and similar things definitely happened. Because these things are the norm of the gate valve family! Otherwise, how was the land annexation done in the later periods of each dynasty!
Almost all of them are almost the same road, not to mention these big families, but also the small wealthy families in order to annex land, there are countless things to set up for the people.
Li Ke just pointed out a reason!
By the time the eldest grandson Wuji and the others found out, it was already too late! The people of the entire Chang'an City were boiling! What happened in front of Suzaku Gate more than a month ago happened again! And this time there are more people! It's even huge!
In one morning, more than tens of thousands of people gathered in front of the Suzaku Gate! There are even more and more trends.
The garrison of the Sixteenth Guard of Chang'an was dispatched urgently and surrounded the square in front of the Suzaku Gate, but they did not dare to move.
As this news continued to spread to Chang'an City, the people of the entire Chang'an City gathered in Suzaku Square.
"That's what you want?" Li Shimin sat in his chair with a calm face.
And in front of him was kneeling the eldest grandson Wuji, as well as seven or eight scholars from the Hongwen Pavilion, and everyone was as pale as earth at the moment. Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Xiao Yu, Gao Shilian and others stood side by side, Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chi Jingde, Liu Hongji, Li Shiji and other generals were all fully armed and armored today, and even Qin Qiong, the sick Duke of Hu Guo, was wearing armor.
"The minister is guilty." The eldest grandson Wuji didn't say anything, but directly pleaded guilty, just one that caused the anger of the people was a crime, so there was no need to explain it at all, the eldest grandson Wuji knew Li Shimin too well, and the more he explained at this time, the worse it became.
"Report!" The guards outside came in again.
"Speak!" Li Shimin said.
"Your Majesty, many people in Chang'an City have stopped gathering at the Suzaku Gate, but they are still staying in the streets everywhere, watching. The people in front of the Suzaku Gate were also very quiet, and they knelt quietly all the time. The guard who came in to report said quickly.
Li Shimin and others were a little surprised, this situation is actually the most likely to go wrong, but now they are all in order, which is ......
Everyone doesn't know what to say, one thing to say, everyone who came here today knows how it happened, but everyone knows that you can't find Li Ke in this matter.
Those small print posters in the comment column? You go to check, although they haven't checked, but they all know that in the end, they will never find Li Ke's head.
And, can you check it now? Just look at the people outside the palace, as long as you check, everyone thinks that this is controlled by the gate valve family.
"Get up, go out with me, and give an explanation to the people." Li Shimin sighed and stood up directly.
Eldest Sun Wuji and the others hesitated, but still stood up, because Li Shimin had already begun to walk out.
And Cheng Yanjin and the others followed quickly, directly surrounding Li Shimin's side, and separated all the ministers such as the eldest grandson Wuji outside. The eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and the others didn't care, and no one was entangled in this at this time, they all kept up with Li Shimin quickly.
