409. Petition of the people
Li Jing was firmly moved by the quilt, and went out of the land, in fact, as a law enforcer, he shouldn't do this, but the emperor has spoken, and as a courtier, it is even more impossible for him to disobey.
The two of them had not yet walked halfway when they heard a loud noise outside.
Zishou immediately knew that the people watching the excitement were coming, so he pretended not to know and asked the guard: "What's going on?
The guard said with trepidation: "Your Majesty, they are all ordinary people, and the number is only more than 10,000. ”
"Huh?"
"That's still too little, and there are still people rushing here..."
"What the hell is going on?"
"It's all for Your Majesty. ”
Zishou was slightly stunned, this scale is far beyond estimates, if it goes on like this, won't it have to develop into a riot of the people?
During the period of King Zhou You, the Chinese people held sticks and farm tools and besieged the palace, which made King Zhou You infamous, and "the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan" for 10,000 years, if the protagonist is replaced by himself.....
Safety is guaranteed, King Zhou You is a serious history, the riots of the Chinese people cannot be quelled, and he is a god on his side, even Li Jing can fight a few hundred.
In this way, isn't there only infamy and mediocrity left?
What a good thing! Zishou was happy all of a sudden.
Beyond the mound, people saw the gate open.
"The door is open!"
"Li Shangshu!"
"And Your Majesty!"
"Sure enough, it came out!"
Seeing King Xuan and Li Jing walking out, everyone became concerned.
Originally, Zishou was ready to find a path to slip away, and today's mediocrity was even if he had earned it, but the leg that had just stepped up suddenly lost his strength.
He looked at the more than 10,000 people outside the enclosure, densely packed with men, women and children, and the expression on his face was not a complaint about judicial injustice, but full of gratitude.
Zishou couldn't speak, a few words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't spit it out.
After a long silence, he said, "How can this be?"
Jin Cheng hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd and said: "Your Majesty, these people listened to the preaching of the guards and knew everything, many people reacted, the new law is actually to protect them, and they have come to complain, those nobles who were beaten by Li Shangshu are all guilty and deserved, Li Shangshu is not guilty, and he should be released..."
"After Your Majesty entered the earth, they came, and at first there were only a hundred people, and then more and more people accumulated, and they all came. The facts were stated, and it was all said that those nobles who were beaten by Li Shangshu were so bad, and the ministers originally wanted to appease them for a while, but there were too many people, and we Xuanniaowei persuaded them, but they didn't listen, and they had to watch Li Shangshu and His Majesty come out together to rest assured. ”
"Luckily, we didn't eat dry food, and we didn't let them disperse, but at least we were able to maintain order. ”
Zishou smacked his tongue, Xuanniaowei knew in his heart whether he ate dry rice or not, and at this time, he also put gold on his face, which was worthy of being a bastard.
It's just that the current situation is completely different from what he imagined, what kind of riot is this!
Why bother! The new law is so strict, you don't have to force the counts? Still looking forward to Li Jing's release from prison, what's the matter, the small people who break the law are breaking the law, and the court officials breaking the law are not counted?
Can you bend the law for personal gain, and you can also say one, two, three, four?
An old man in the crowd stepped forward tremblingly, perhaps facing the king and the court officials for the first time, and he looked a little timid.
Jin Cheng had no choice but to lead him secretly, these people were a few people he had specially selected after listening to the people's opinions, wasn't it time to earn fame for the king in vain? It would be better to choose a few people to praise him as representatives of the people's will.
The old man walked up to Zishou and said in fear: "Your Majesty.... We are not rioting, we just want to see if Master Li can come out..."
He pointed to the crowd and said: "Your Majesty, we all know that the new law is good, and we came here spontaneously, some do carpentry, some burn charcoal, and some sell heartless vegetables, we all know that the new law is stricter, but we also know that the new law is good..."
Another young man was also so excited that he shouted in the crowd: "Your Majesty Shengming! Li Shangshu is not guilty, and the nobles deserve it!"
A timid female voice said: "Your Majesty, Li Shangshu is here, only then can the new law be implemented and the traitors can be severely punished!"
An old woman also said: "Isn't it just a few people beaten with a cane? Those people beat a lot of others on weekdays, but they have returned, and the bad people do not enter the land, but the good people do enter the land, so what is the law?"
"Your Majesty is merciful, and will not investigate their faults, if they are severely punished, those people will die innocently, and they will be the great evildoers of heaven and earth! Li Shangshu's imprisonment is simply a reversal of black and white!"
Zishou was speechless and choked, why is the people's consciousness so high? Where did the righteousness of the Qishui riot go?
But the people are like this, and some people even hid behind the woman who was eight feet tall and had an eight-foot waistline, shouting loudly: "If I can enter the Fu Mansion, not only Fu Wen, but also Fu Yu will fight together!"
"Yes!
"Me too!"
"Which one should not be punished severely?"
The shouts of the people sounded inside and outside the land, and the voices were all secretive, and they didn't dare to directly scold the nobles on weekdays, but now there are many people with mixed eyes, and it's no problem to mix in the crowd for a while.
Under the bursts of shouting, not only did there not decrease, but there were more and more people, Jin Cheng felt a little headache, what are the kings still doing here! Hurry back to the palace, so that these people can be evacuated, if you really continue to crowd like this, even if you win the hearts of the people, you will have some other problems, just stepping on will kill and injure many people.
Zishou looked at the old man in front of him, waved his hand, and said, "How can I have any virtues? ”
The old man was unrelenting, and under Jin Cheng's physical hints, he continued: "Your Majesty is virtuous, and Li Shangshu is capable, so that we can avenge our grievances and cry and complain!"
Li Jing was also a little unbearable, and persuaded another old man, saying: "Old man, Jing is a guilty body, and with the kindness of His Majesty, he was able to get out of the land, but he also really used lynching and committed a crime, not seeking merit, only seeking to make up for it." ”
The old man shook his head again and again, and said, "What are you talking about, I scolded you in the morning, but now that I think about it, if it weren't for the new law, I might have been ruined by those people this year." ”
Wan Nian and Shu Qi arrived in a hurry at this time, and the two were also stunned when they saw this meeting.
They should have arrived a long time ago, but something suddenly happened halfway through, so they had to turn back the way they came, and deal with it in a hurry before they came again.
Zishou asked, "Why are you two here too?"
Wan Nian then relieved, said: "Your Majesty, the displaced people outside the city also know, if you can't deal with it quickly, I'm afraid that good things will become bad things, those new people from Echeng have not personally felt the benefits of the new law, and most of them have complaints when they first accept the new law, after all, the new law is indeed too harsh and dissatisfied." ”
What kind of good thing becomes bad thing, it is clearly a bad thing to turn into a good thing!
Zishou breathed a sigh of relief, I knew that the people were not so easy to accept the new law, and the people who had endured the new law for a year could accept it, but those new displaced people couldn't accept it at all!
It just so happened that the crowd was too congested, and unless they directly shook their blades to open the way, they couldn't go for a while, and they only waited for the dissatisfied homeless people outside the city to arrive, and the situation would be reversed instantly.
Shu Qi urged: "Please also ask Your Majesty to leave the land with Li Shangshu quickly, and the matter here will be handled by the ministers." ”
It's too late, there are too many people, and there may be nobles who are getting in the way, and the dissatisfied exiles outside the city have already come at this time.
"Li Jing is guilty!"
"If you are guilty, you must follow the new law and punish it severely!"
"What's the crime? Those people are even more guilty, Li Shangshu fought well!"
"That's it, if you don't accept the noble Tian Fu like this, you will be happy if the Tian Fu will be collected from you next year, right?"
"Besides, if it weren't for the new law, I can't tell where I would have been buried!
Seeing that the two groups of people were arguing endlessly, and there was a faint tendency to argue, Zi Shou was busy asking Jin Cheng to lead Xuanniaowei to mediate.
Today's scene is enough, how the people of Chaoge think of Li Jing is still up for discussion, at least the new homeless people who have not been here for a long time are dissatisfied with the new law and do not want to see favoritism.
