Madam, protect me!

In recent days, there has been an inexplicable wave of eradication of traitors in Chang'an.

The target of the attack was Li Xuanjing, the minister of Dali Temple.

In the past twenty years, the matter of Li Xuanjing being a traitor has not been controversial either in the court or among the people.

Many people tried to eradicate this traitor, but they all ended in failure.

To this day, Li Xuanjing is still active in the court. Although the people will scold these traitors secretly and make the court a mess, they still dare not talk too much about it openly.

But in the past few days, the situation has changed.

The evil deeds Li Xuanjing had done were dug out one by one and spread widely in Chang'an.

Although the common people can't do anything against such a big shot, it is not easy to calm down public opinion after it has been completely aroused.

Public opinion among the people has even affected the academy.

Students from the four major academies, as well as some small academies, have prepared to jointly submit a letter to the court, demanding a strict investigation of Li Xuanjing.

Although the students of these academies are not court officials, future courtiers will emerge from them. The imperial court has always attached great importance to the ideas of the academy students.

In the past, it often happened that Beijing officials were dismissed because of student demonstrations.

Because of the trend in the past few days, people who originally did not dare to openly discuss topics now dare to openly comment on them.

"I heard that the powerful are preparing to take action against Li Xuanjing."

"Not just the powerful, I heard that students from the academy are also preparing to march to force the imperial court to side with the emperor!"

"Twenty years have passed. I really hope I can get rid of this traitor!"

"This time, they seem to be serious. The people will have a good life in the future!"

…

Somewhere in Chang'an, just when people were gathering in a corner to discuss, a different voice came from the crowd: "Haha, a bunch of fools, they don't even know they are being taken advantage of, and they are still happy here..."

One person looked at the figure and said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, how can you talk like this!"

Others were dissatisfied: "Isn't it a good thing for the court to get rid of traitors and traitors?"

The man leaned against the wall and said leisurely: "Traitor, what is a traitor? Who defines a traitor? You say Li Xuanjing is a traitor. He has not harmed the people. Instead, he has killed countless dignitaries and officials who oppressed the people. How many people have been wronged and redressed..."

While the crowd was stunned, he continued: "What was Chang'an like twenty years ago? The officials were lawless, the powerful did all kinds of evil, and the people were like grass. Do your wives and daughters dare to go out at will?"

The crowd's voice gradually became quieter.

Some older people did recall some things from those years.

Chang'an at that time was completely a Chang'an of powerful officials. There was collusion between officials and businessmen, and the powerful were completely above the law. Ordinary people could be beaten to death for quarreling with the powerful, and their bodies were left lying on the streets. The daughter's family who was slightly beautiful was also Don't dare to appear openly on the street.

However, this situation is getting better year by year, and now it has almost completely disappeared. The people are completely accustomed to Chang'an today and have long forgotten the darkness of the past.

The man smiled disdainfully and said: "Chang'an is what it is today. Do you think it's because of the conscience of those people? It's not because they are afraid of Li Xuanjing, because as long as they dare to violate the law, no matter whether they are powerful people or officials, Li Xuanjing really dares to kill "They, guess who will be the unlucky one if Li Xuanjing dies?"

"hiss!"

"this……"

"What he said seems to make sense."

"I also remember that when Li Xuanjing first entered Dali Temple, corrupt officials were beheaded every day in Caishikou."

"I remembered that at that time, he also set up an office in front of Dali Temple to let the people complain. At that time, Chang'an Ling's son raped and killed a girl in our neighborhood. Chang'an Ling protected his son, and both father and son were killed by Li Xuanjing. Cut it off..."

As the crowd murmured in low voices, someone said: "Don't be fooled by his words. Li Xuanjing is not a good person. Everything he did was for party fighting. Many good officials died at his hands. He even Even officials with great righteousness will be killed!”

The man sneered and said: "So what? It doesn't matter whether he is a good person or a bad person, as long as it is beneficial to our people. Li Xuanjing is dead, and there will be no one to be afraid of those corrupt officials, the royal family and the powerful. By then , only God knows what will happen to you..."

The person who spoke before looked at the man fiercely and asked: "Who are you? Who taught you to say these words? Are you that treacherous accomplice..."

The man shook his head and said: "I, I'm just a passerby who can't stand it. I'm being instigated without knowing it. It's pitiful, pitiful..."

After saying that, he turned and left.

The man glanced, and two people in the crowd immediately followed him.

The man stayed in the crowd and said: "Don't be deceived by him. This person speaks for Li Xuanjing like this. He must be an accomplice of Li Xuanjing. We should unite. As long as the people's will is what they want, the court will definitely punish the traitors." !”

This time, the crowd did not look at him, but left each other.

They just followed the crowd and chanted slogans about punishing traitors and eliminating sycophants.

Everyone thought carefully about what the man said just now, and felt that it made perfect sense.

That guy is right. Regardless of whether he is a traitor or a loyal minister, the key point is whether what he does is good or bad for the people.

Before Li Xuanjing, no one could kill so many officials and dignitaries. Only Li Xuanjing could rule those big shots who were above the common people.

If he dies, the people will have hard times.

"Hey, let's go!"

"I don't want Chang'an to go back to the way it was before."

"In that case, it's better not to get rid of this traitor..."

The crowd gradually dispersed, leaving only a figure standing there with an extremely ugly expression.

After a while, the two people left and came back again, saying with a dejected look on their faces: "We lost track..."

The man's face was even uglier. The man who could say what he just said and avoid being tracked by these two people must not be an ordinary fool. This man had the purpose of clearing Li Xuanjing's name.

He calmly said, "Go back and report!"

Han Dynasty Palace.

The King of Han gradually received news that since yesterday, people all over Chang'an have been continuously clearing Li Xuanjing's name.

This has a huge impact on their plans. The indispensable step before Qing Jun is to build momentum.

If he could coerce the people, students, dignitaries, and courtiers in Chang'an, even his father would have to give in. At that time, even if he led people to rush into Li Xuanjing's home and kill him directly, it could be said to be to quell the people's resentment.

It would be useless even if he showed him a gold medal to avoid death.

Being disturbed like this, public opinion was almost destroyed and disintegrated, making it difficult to mobilize again.

Without the support of the people, the words "Qingjunzi" are no longer so confident.

Although the Mirror Division has great magical powers, inciting public opinion is not what they are good at.

The person behind this incident is extremely good at manipulating public opinion.

They spent a lot of effort to build up the good momentum, but it was completely disintegrated in a very short period of time.

Damn it, who is causing trouble?

Beside him, the middle-aged man waved his hand and said: "Those stupid people are not important. I have already made arrangements for the academy and the court. I am just waiting for the time to come and go together..." More than ten years ago, Li Xuanjing He was lucky enough to survive. This time, he was not so lucky."

Yuyin Pavilion.

The old woman crossed her arms, looked at Phoenix, and said, "Is this considered a national weapon for personal use?"

Fenghuang glanced at her and said: "How can this be regarded as a national weapon for personal use? I managed to break into the Li Mansion with great difficulty, but it has not had any effect. If the Li Mansion is gone, wouldn't my efforts have been in vain? This is also for The overall situation…”

The old woman put down her hands and said: "I won't argue with you about this matter for the time being, but even if you undermine public opinion, it will be useless. This time, the princes and dignitaries joined forces, and many officials in the court responded. Even the students of the academy, Also instigated by them, do you think the Li family can escape..."

…

Li Mansion.

After Li Nuo taught Yiren a set of swordsmanship, when he walked to the stone table to rest, Fenghuang, who was sitting opposite, glanced at him, as if he was hesitant to speak.

Li Nuo asked directly: "Is something wrong?"

Phoenix thought for a while and said: "I have heard some news in the past few days, which may be detrimental to Mr. Li..."

Before Li Nuo could ask again, she continued: "Led by King Han and King You, several princes have entangled a group of powerful officials and academy students, and it seems that they want Qingjun to side..."

Li Nuo asked: "Where did you hear about it?"

"You know, there are many dignitaries among the guests of Yuyin Pavilion. They accidentally revealed it after drinking too much..." Fenghuang looked at Li Nuo and said, "They come with bad intentions, so you don't need to make any preparations." ”

Li Nuo picked up the teacup and took a sip.

King Han and King You were about to face disaster, but they still dared to cause trouble for them.

However, from what Phoenix said, they may be planning a big one this time.

Within the rules, Li Nuo had nothing to worry about.

But if they don't plan to follow the rules, with the power of Li Mansion, even if they add the Mirror Division, they will not be able to defeat the combined forces of those people.

He did have to make some preparations just in case.

Li Nuo returned to the room, took out a piece of writing paper, and wrote: "Master, sir..."
