Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Lu Chengqing looked at Li Shimin in astonishment, and his eyes flicked across the ministers present one by one.

His expression was a bit exaggerated, so that everyone didn't notice that his eyes stayed on Wang Gui and Cui Mingan for a little longer.

As one of the five surnames and seven watchmen, Fan Yang Lu also participated in this assassination.

Only at the last moment, he made another choice and sent out the three of them.

However, judging from the current situation, his choice is not very wise.

Thinking of this, Lu Chengqing's eyes became gloomy and cold. He mustered up his courage and prepared to fight Wang Gui and others to the death.

However, before Lu Chengqing spoke, Wang Gui did.

"Lord Lu, don't panic. Even if these things really come from Youzhou, they may not necessarily be related to Fan Yang Lu."

"But I hope Master Lu will activate Fan Yang's Lu family's ability to find out about this matter."

"Fan Yang Lu's innocence depends on Mr. Lu's choice."

Wang Gui's words sounded like a kind of friendly persuasion to other people, and they were helping Fan Yang and Lu's siege.

But in Lu Chengqing's ears, this was not the case at all. Although it was not very explicit, it was full of threats.

The implication is that as long as Lu Chengqing is willing to cooperate with their actions, not to mention all the people can be saved, but at least Fan Yang, the Lu family and his patriarch can be saved.

After a fierce inner struggle, Lu Chengqing chose to compromise.

He bowed to Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know what's going on with this matter. I immediately asked the family to start an investigation, and I will definitely find out the source of these things in the shortest possible time."

Li Shimin's expression was still serious and he said: "Lu Chengqing, this matter is not trivial, Youzhou is the fiefdom of You'er, we must investigate clearly."

However, Li Shimin never expected that in the next few days, as the investigation continued, the direction of the wind began to change.

In his mind, the big boy who had nothing to do with the world and only wanted to do good deeds every day, his house collapsed after investigation.

According to the news from Youzhou, although the number of Li You's visits to Youzhou in these years is pitiful, the amount of property collected from Youzhou Chamber of Commerce is astonishing.

But because Youzhou is the land of his subordinates, the merchants of Youzhou Chamber of Commerce dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out.

And compared to other places, Youzhou's attitude towards promoting Datang coins is quite tough.

Among other things, in less than a year alone, the usage of Datang coins in Youzhou has reached [-]%, and basically all major transactions are settled with Datang coins.

Originally, Li Shimin thought that this was not a bad thing, but the account manager in Youzhou revealed that the Datang currency exchange in Youzhou was not carried out in the account department, but in the Youzhou Governor's Mansion.

In other words, this large amount of gold also flowed into Li You's pocket.

After this situation was exposed, the public's attitude towards Li You also changed drastically.

They completely forgot that they denounced the murderer who assassinated Li You the day before, and they all turned to denounce Li You.

Thinking that this is the reincarnation of heaven, the retribution is not good, Li Youna will kill himself for many unrighteous deeds, and the assassin has become a knight who does justice for the sky.

Faced with such a situation, Li Shimin once again called a meeting of his ministers.

Now, the biggest problem Li Shimin has to face is not who the murderer who assassinated Li You is, but to restore Li You's reputation.

"Your Majesty, there are still two days until the release of the new issue of "Zhenguan Banyue Tan". This time, I will definitely give a positive introduction to King Yan, and describe the contributions he and the Shence Palace have made to the country. Pointing out that it will definitely help His Royal Highness King Yan restore his reputation."

Gao Shilian was the first to speak. Now Gao Shilian is no longer the editor-in-chief of Zhenguan Banyue Tan.

After he recovered, Li Shimin, under Li You's suggestion, set up a news agency independent of Shangshu Province to manage all magazines including "Zhenguan Banyue Tan".

After the last round of magazine wars, Li You also realized that it would definitely not work for those aristocratic families to publish magazines without control.

After controlling the right to speak, the Information Agency came into being.

Not only are all magazines now subject to the management of the Information Department, new magazines are also subject to the approval of the Information Department.

Only magazines that have completed approval can start publishing.

However, after Gao Shilian finished speaking, Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "It's probably not enough."

"and……"

Speaking of this, Fang Xuanling rarely hesitated.

Li Shimin wanted Fang Xuanling to continue, but Wang Gui took up the topic.

"Fang Xiang, let the old minister say what offends people."

"Actually, we have already thought about Mr. Gao's method, and we have prepared related articles."

"However, after the article was written, we found that the article could not be published at all."

"If it is sent out like this, not only will it not be good for King Yan's reputation, but on the contrary, the current rumors may be realized."

After speaking, Wang Gui handed in an article.

Li Shimin took a look, and soon discovered the problem.

"In the early years of Zhenguan, King Yan served as Minister of the Household Department, opened the Shence Palace, promoted new crops, invented the method of pinyin, and improved the methods of papermaking and printing..."

"In the second year of Zhenguan, King Li You of Yan mined iron ore in Hexi, and issued war debts to lay a good foundation for the Tang army's victory over the Turks..."

"In the sixth year of Zhenguan, King Li You of Yan opened the "Zhenguan Banyue Tan". The renovation of the Xiuxiufang and Xiuzhengfang was completed, and the Nanshi was opened."

"In the seventh year of Zhenguan, Yan Wang Li You promoted Datang coins."

Although the article lists a large number of Li You's great achievements, and these things have actually brought benefits to the people, most of the things are concentrated in the first year of Zhenguan and the second year of Zhenguan. There is nothing that can be obtained.

Nanshi and the subsequent Datangcoin incident were the focus of this conflict.

In addition, Li You was actually only seven or eight years old in the first two years, and it was easy to think that what he did was actually ordered by Li Shimin.

So if this article is published, it will soon show that Li You didn't do anything good when he grew up.

After reading it, Li Shimin also had a sad expression on his face. He never imagined that now his son is still in a coma and the murderer has not been caught, but he will suffer such slander.

"Xuanling, what do you think about this matter?"

Fang Xuanling was a little helpless, but he could only speak out the solution they discussed: "Your Majesty, we have decided that this matter should be dealt with coldly."

"While continuing to track down the murderer, let King Yan fade out of public view."

"People are forgetful. I don't think it will be long before everyone forgets about it."

After hearing this, Li Shimin fell silent.

After a long time, he burst out again and said: "No, this time you must not let Youer suffer such injustice."

After hearing this, everyone fell into silence again.

After a long time, Cui Mingan said: "Your Majesty, I have a method, I don't know if I can try it."
