afternoon.

Ganlu Temple.

Li Er sat behind the case table, staring at a memorial, which had not moved for a stick of incense.

not moving at all.

Gao Chen walked in and said, "Your Majesty, there are already more than thirty ministers kneeling outside."

Li Er came back to his senses, raised his head, and asked: "Hehe, do they want me to punish Pei Yan and others severely, and it's best to send them to the border, as a warning to others?"

Gao Chen nodded: "Your Majesty is wise, they all mean the same thing, they want to see His Majesty. Some people even said that if His Majesty does not meet, they will smash their heads against the pillars to death."

Snapped.

Li Er slammed the table, his expression suddenly changed from calm to angry.

……

(Two updates today, one chapter will be added tomorrow)

Chapter 173 I Would Rather He Treated Me Like a Waste

Li Er was angry in his heart, and said directly: "Then let them crash to death... Seeing is not seeing!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard footsteps.

Empress Changsun walked in.

Empress Changsun carried a plate of dim sum and put it on the table.

She herself ordered it to be done.

They are Li Er's favorite food!

It's just that at this moment, Li Er doesn't have the slightest desire to eat.

Empress Changsun waved her hand, telling Gao Chen and other eunuchs and court ladies to leave.

Then, she sat next to Li Er and asked, "Second Brother, why are you angry?"

Li Er said angrily: "Of course it's because of those poor literati..."

Empress Changsun smiled and said, "But second brother, don't forget that it is these poor literati who govern the world for second brother. Without them, would second brother want to govern the entire Tang Dynasty by himself?"

Li Er: "..."

I only heard Empress Changsun say: "The concubine can understand the difficulties of the second brother. Just because the Imperial College has fainted a gentleman, these literati want to protect the reputation of the literati, even at the cost of death. It's making a fuss out of a molehill, it's too stingy...But as an emperor, His Majesty can't ignore it, otherwise, the world's elites will be chilled..."

Li Er fell into deep thought.

He said helplessly: "But, what else can I do? I would like to kill them among the scholars in the world. Back then, it was they who scolded me for murdering my brother and forcing my father. These poor literati have no other skills. It makes sense." But there are piles of them... I am not even afraid of death. If I kill them, I will become a tyrant as recorded in the history books. If I don't kill them, I will not be satisfied... Maiden Guanyin, tell me, What should I do?"

Empress Changsun said: "Yes, these people are a little too shameless, but His Majesty is an emperor, he wants to save face, he can't be like them, it would be great if there is someone more shameless."

more shameless?

Why does Li Er feel that these words are a bit scolding?

However, his eyes suddenly lit up.

More shameless people!

This Datang does not seem to have it!

Do not!

One more person!

The anger on Li Er's face suddenly disappeared.

He laughed loudly and shouted: "Gao Chen, get out of here quickly!"

Gao Chen ran in.

Li Er ordered: "Gao Chen, issue an imperial edict immediately to reprimand Chen Chu. By the way, the bigger the momentum, the better. It's best to let the whole world know the reason for the reprimand, um, just say that he is not doing his job properly, that he is doing something wrong." What kind of pencil is causing trouble in Chang'an, I hope he will restrain himself."

Gao Chen left in a hurry.

Li Er is in a good mood after this matter is settled.

He picked up the snacks on the table and began to feast on them.

Empress Changsun thought for a while and asked, "Second brother, do you want to force Chen Chu to take action?"

Li Er snorted: "That brat, he wants to marry my daughter back. It's not that easy. He has to do something for me. I'm also training him. He should be grateful to me. It is."

Empress Changsun said with some concern: "But, aren't you worried that Shilin will harm him?"

Li Er sneered: "As for those poor literati, they are not Chen Chu's opponent..."

Back then, Chen Chu used soap to defraud a big family in Chang'an of more than 500 million guan.

Li Er ordered to block the news.

The whole country protects Chen Chu.

That's because most of the victims at that time were big households.If anyone jumped out at random, Chen Chu would not be an opponent, and would even destroy Chen Chu.

But it's different now. The only one who stands up is Shilin.

After all, they are just a bunch of literati!

Five surnames, Qiwang, such a big family as the eldest grandson's family, did not end up.

As long as Li Er was around, nothing would happen to Chen Chu.

Li Er said: "I hope that kid won't disappoint me..."

……

An imperial decree came from the palace.

Afterwards, it was posted everywhere in Chang'an.

It was discovered that His Majesty Li Er was reprimanding Chen Chu.

The reason was that the pencil that Chen Chu made caused a commotion inside and outside the court.

People suddenly discovered that everything that happened in Chang'an City recently was related to Chen Chu.

To put it bluntly, it's all made of pencils.

……

Chen Chu returned to Duke Lu's mansion.

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Kong Yingda sitting at the stone table.

Chen Chu was startled, and asked, "Old Kong, are you here for high-grade paper?"

Kong Yingda shook his head.

Chen Chu asked again: "Are you here to ask for tea? There is really no tea, not at all!"

Kong Yingda said uncomfortably: "Boy Chen, at least we got to know each other once. In your heart, is this old man the one who waits for you? Can't this old man come and see you?"

Chen Chu thought to himself, as long as we don't follow suit, we can still be friends.

He stepped forward to sit down, and suddenly laughed and said, "Old Kong, I heard that you are very famous recently. When the Imperial College had an accident, you ran away from the back door? Are you too cowardly? You shouldn't be called Kong." Master, you should tell Kong Paopao..."

Kong Yingda blushed, and said, "What do you know, kid! Old man, this old man was thinking about the overall situation. At that time, this old man was in a hurry to go to the palace to report to His Majesty..."

Chen Chu cut out.

I don't believe it at all.

no one is perfect!

This sentence is well reflected in Kong Yingda.

Lao Kong is a representative figure of the Confucian school, a leading figure, and he has done a good job in learning.

But this does not prevent him from being stingy and timid.

"what!"

Chen Chu suddenly yelled in surprise, and said: "Old Kong, something is wrong. Now, the entire Shilin is running for the matter of the Imperial College. Representative Lin, why don't you go?"

"Cough cough cough," Kong Yingda coughed and said, "What do you know? Those people are not real Confucian disciples at all. They are a bunch of idiots. To be honest, countless people have come to my residence in the past two days. Please let me go, I really have nowhere to hide, so I can only come to you, I'm afraid I will live in Lu Guogong's mansion for a while..."

The truth is revealed!

Old Kong turned out to be a refugee.

Chen Chu said with a smile: "So, have you guessed what Royal Father is thinking?"

Kong Yingda nodded, with a secretive look on his face: "This matter was originally the fault of the student union, and also the fault of the prince and Jin Wang, but now that so many people have jumped out of Shilin, it doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong. , Your Majesty's anger is the most important thing..."

Chen Chu nodded in agreement.

The two are talking.

But he saw Cheng Chubi rushing in, and said loudly: "Uncle, there is an imperial order, hurry... hurry to the front hall to receive the order!"

Chen Chu and Kong Yingda hurried outside.

……

Chen Chu's eyes widened.

His mood, how can a word.

He looked at Gao Chen.

Gao Chen showed a cheap expression, indicating that this matter has nothing to do with me.

Gao Chen said: "Young Master Chen, the imperial decree has been read out, Your Majesty still has something to tell you!"

"What?"

"Your Majesty said, Chen Chu, you should take care of yourself."

Chen Chu was speechless.

Gao Chen left.

The Cheng family father and son looked at Chen Chu worriedly.

They didn't understand the meaning of the edict, they only knew that Chen Chu was reprimanded.

On the other hand, Kong Yingda said thoughtfully, "Boy Chen, it seems that His Majesty trusts you very much..."

"Bah, I'd rather he treat me like a waste..." Chen Chu said angrily.

……

Chapter 174 Force me to take action

The next day.

A massive anti-pencil movement suddenly broke out in Chang'an City.

Hongwenguan, Guozijian, and various schools suddenly jointly announced that students are not allowed to use pencils.

Then, someone wrote an article and began to refute the pencil.

These people think that pencils are evil things!

To use a pencil is treason.

The literati quoted the classics and tried their best to attack the pencil.

All this is because of Li Er's edict.

The imperial decree directly named the recent turmoil in Chang'an as a result of pencils.

The literati seized their pencils and began to attack.

More and more people joined the ranks of banning pencils.

Later, even many people in the court participated in it.

Among them is the eldest grandson's family.
