Chapter 132: Fall
Outside the Suzaku Gate, tens of thousands of people are kneeling here quietly, and in front of the people, a temporary platform has been erected, and hundreds of guards are interspersed in the crowd, these guards have an important task, Li Shimin's words, they will be transmitted to the point that all the people can hear.
When Li Shimin came out, the people were in a commotion, and the guards around him were a little nervous, but fortunately, the people were only in a commotion, but no one stood up.
After Li Shimin stood still on the high platform, a person at the front shouted loudly: "I implore Your Majesty to be the master of all the people!" ”
"I beg your majesty to be the master of all peoples!"
The people behind shouted loudly one by one, and finally the uniform shouts resounded throughout the square in front of the Suzaku Gate. The sound also has a tendency to extend to the entire Chang'an City.
Many of the civil servants standing behind Li Shimin were as pale as earth.
The generals' expressions were a little nervous, but they were calm.
It wasn't until the people shouted a few times that Li Shimin raised his hand and made a quiet gesture.
When the people in front saw it, they naturally stopped shouting, and soon, gradually stretching into the distance, all the people were quiet.
"Where is the left leading general, Cheng Biting Jin." Li Shimin didn't talk nonsense, but spoke directly and loudly.
The guards who were in charge of the orders below passed Li Shimin's words to the ears of all the people as they were.
"The minister is here!" Cheng Biting Jin came out of the queue and knelt on one knee.
"Then, Cheng Bitingjin, the general of the left leading army, led Jin Wuwei to arrest the Zheng family, who was in charge of the printing task of the Tang Weekly, and took them to prison, collected evidence of civil accusations, and tried them in three divisions! 10 days! And the bachelors who are in charge of reviewing the Datang Weekly in Hongwen Hall will be arrested and imprisoned! ”
"No! Minister, Commander! Cheng Yanjin yelled directly, then stood up and waved his hand, and the guards behind him directly rushed up, pressing the few people who were kneeling in front of Li Shimin directly to the ground.
Although these people looked frightened, none of them dared to shout a grievance, and if they dared to shout at this time, it would be possible to give you a knife on the spot.
Cheng Yanjin led his troops to turn around and leave!
And the people below, after hearing this, said, "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" ”
As the leader shouted, all the people cheered.
Li Shimin's face was weird, you know, long live this thing, in Datang, he doesn't really shout much. Shouting is also shouting, only on some very important festivals, but now the people are shouting spontaneously.
And after shouting, all the people didn't wait for Li Shimin's orders, and some people stood up and began to retreat directly to the outside of the square.
Someone led it, and all the people also stood up one after another, and then gradually began to spread into the distance, exiting the square of Suzaku Gate.
All the courtiers were a little stunned, and they retreated?
This...... This...... Everyone has a feeling of being anticlimactic, they all know that this kind of thinking is wrong, after all, no one wants to have an accident, but this is too hasty.
The question is, do you say these people got what they wanted? Got it. They just wanted someone to get to the bottom of it, but they didn't go out of their way.
Even before, many ministers thought that today, these people might ask the court to return the Tang Weekly Report to His Royal Highness the King of Shu, but no.
After His Majesty announced these punishments, the people withdrew.
If you want to say who instructed this, it is impossible, there are tens of thousands of people, each with their own ideas, how can someone instruct, at this time there are many people fishing in troubled waters, not to mention that there are tens of thousands of people in this square alone! More on those streets! But these people retreat so simply, there are really very few.
The eldest grandson Wuji lowered his head, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Li Shimin's order has quickly spread throughout Chang'an City, after all, so many people know about it today.
Of course, the real magnates knew that it was only the Zheng clan in charge of printing affairs that Li Shimin ordered to be investigated and punished, not the entire Xingyang Zheng clan.
Li Ke, who was in Shanhefang at this moment, could naturally hear the sound outside, and looking at the people on the street outside the window, Li Ke's eyes were deep.
Xingyang Zheng's, is it big?! Big!
Xingyang Zheng originated from the Zhou Dynasty, the Zheng State of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is the predecessor of the Zheng family of Xingyang, with the destruction of the Zheng State, the descendants of the Zheng family of Xingyang are all over the world, and then since the Han Dynasty began to rise, has been preserved near Kaifeng of the Tang Dynasty.
The Zheng clan of Xingyang is divided into three branches, which are the three ancestors of the south, the middle and the north.
The northern ancestor is divided into six rooms: Bailin, Xiaobai, Donglin, Shuye, Lianshan, and Youlin, and the southern ancestor is four, and the middle ancestor is lonely. If there is no Li Ke in this world, the Xingyang Zheng family will produce thirteen prime ministers in the entire Tang Dynasty!
This is just the prime minister, not anything else, for example, among the generals of the Tang Dynasty now, Zheng Rentai who participated in the Xuanwumen Revolution with Li Shimin will follow Li Shimin to eliminate Goryeo, Ping Tiele and so on.
This is just one of the gate valve families, the five surnames of the Tang Dynasty are Qiwang, it is not an exaggeration to say that one of the seven families alone is not far behind the others.
During the entire Tang Dynasty, how many prime ministers, generals, and other ministers in various positions could be produced by these seven families?
Today's sword, it is impossible for Li Shimin to destroy the entire Xingyang Zheng clan, because that will cause the court to shake! So the whole thing can only be slowly figured out, Li Ke once joked with Li Shimin, one can't kill, ten don't obey, kill, a hundred don't obey and kill.
In fact, he was also joking, and he really couldn't do it. Because you have killed all these people, the world will be in chaos, if you stand in the future generations, just look at a sentence in the history books, chaos will be chaos, it doesn't matter, the nation will automatically correct, but in this era, it really responds to Li Ke's words, the people are suffering, and the people are suffering.
Behind the chaos in the world is at least millions of people who are homeless, separated from their wives, and eaten by their children.
The Three Kingdoms period, which was admired and interested by later generations, arrived in the Three Kingdoms era, how many people at the bottom of that period died?
Since Li Ke has come to this era, he also has a way to cut off these to a certain extent, so he will try his best to do it, he is rooted in the people, and naturally he can't take the lives of the people without his life.
It's far away, although it can't destroy the entire Xingyang Zheng clan today, it is also a wake-up call for everyone, let you know that it's not that I, Li Ke, can't move the knife, but that if I don't move, none of you can resist my knife.
As for whether this is considered a startling snake, Li Ke doesn't care, or rather, this is a necessary step, with his actions, these gate valve families will react sooner or later, instead of letting them react slowly and deal with it step by step, it is better to give them a blow to the head first, and then talk about it.
Later, they will inevitably be extremely wary of Li Ke, but it doesn't matter, they are wary of Li Ke, but it will be easier to trap them.
