As the small-character newspaper posted more and more negative information about Li Ke, more and more people were discussing it in Chang'an City, and rumors about the whole news were flying everywhere. Tian Meng and others saw this in their hearts and were worried about it.
Changsun Wuji and others couldn't stop laughing. Li Ke, Li Ke, you are shooting yourself in the foot.
In the Liangyi Hall, Li Shimin also frowned as he listened to Jinwu Guard's report on this aspect, and Wei Zheng was not far away.
After listening, the person who reported the report quickly went down. Li Shimin raised his eyebrows: "Let me ask you, where is that kid?"
"Recuperating from his injuries." Chang Lin replied with three words, "His Royal Highness the King of Shu has not gone out in the past few days. He just beat Changsun Chong when he went out that day."
Li Shimin already knew about this, and he was completely helpless. You said you were beaten, and you are not being honest.
However, Qi Guogong also knew about this and didn't say anything. Who made Changsun Chong laugh at that time? If you don't mess with Li Ke, he will beat you. If you laugh at him in front of him, you will be a ghost if you don't get beaten. When it was agreed that Li Ke would not hit him, he told him not to cause trouble. If he did, Li Ke would not tolerate it.
Therefore, Qi Guogong can't find anything wrong with this matter.
"He didn't react at all?" Li Shimin couldn't figure it out.
"No, I have been paying attention to those comment columns these days. This is a name given by the common people. I don't know who came up with it. Everyone is using it now. It means commenting on current affairs. Many literati are used to posting comments on it. , I am sure that Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng must have been written by His Highness the King of Shu, and should be a scholar under his account."
"But so far, there is no movement." Wei Zheng said quickly.
"This... doesn't make sense. This kid used to be so angry when people said bad things about him. Now why are rumors about him all over Chang'an City? I can't stand hearing many of them, but he doesn't react at all." Li Shimin frowned. He frowned.
"I... don't know either." Li Shimin couldn't figure it out, and Wei Zheng couldn't figure it out either.
It's just that they don't know, maybe no one cares at all. There are many people in Chang'an City who are used to going to the comment column to read these small-character posters every day, but many people increasingly just leave after reading and no longer discuss with others. .
And those who like to discuss are more talkative themselves, so it seems that the entire Chang'an City is hotly discussing this matter, but no one knows what happened.
"Your Majesty, do you want to intervene?" Wei Zheng thought for a while and asked.
"No matter what, I want to see what this kid is capable of." Li Shimin shook his head, "He will never let it go like this!"
"yes!"
Li Ke's injury is almost healed at the moment. He is very calm at the moment. In the hall of a shopping mall, a shopping mall is closed today, and many literati who are responsible for writing small-character newspapers have already arrived here.
After seeing Li Ke come out, these literati became excited, and many people even asked directly: "Your Highness, why do you let us write these rumors to spread rumors about you?"
"If not, Datang Weekly will never get it back." Li Ke said calmly.
"But... what does this have to do with taking back Datang Weekly?" These scholars couldn't figure it out at all.
"Just do as I say. When this matter is settled, I will teach you a lesson and a brand-new theory. You will understand a lot by then. I tell you now, you don't understand. Yes, you will only know if you have experienced it yourself."
"And in the future, you will all be able to use these things!" Li Ke said seriously.
"Yes!" Although these scholars were a little confused, they still agreed honestly, but they also secretly made up their minds to remember the whole thing.
Three days later, a new issue of Datang Weekly was released.
The title has not changed much. The first article became an interpretation of some of the national policies of the Tang Dynasty, and then the second article came out with an article about the King of Shu. The content is very simple, praising Li Ke for his career expansion. The refugees and beggars of Chang'an City are in the industrial park outside Chang'an City.
For this reason, he himself lived in the King of Shu's manor outside the city for a long time and rarely returned to Chang'an City.
The whole article doesn't seem to have much of a problem.
But in fact... After reading the Datang Weekly, many people began to maliciously speculate that there is so much danger in Chang'an City, but it must be that the Shuwangzhuang outside the city is fun. His Highness, the King of Shu, must like to play outside the city.
And someone immediately swore that they had seen the four oirans of Huiyue Tower riding horses to Shuwangzhuang outside the city more than ten days ago in the evening. They came back a few days later. During those days, there were no performances in the mall without them. Oiran.
The small-character posters in the comment column did not change much. Those who should blame Li Ke were still criticized, but there were also some who spoke for Li Ke, but they disappeared quickly, and Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng seemed to no longer care about this matter. Instead, I am telling some jokes and stories related to ordinary people.
It attracts a large number of people to watch every day.
In leap April of the ninth year of Zhenguan, within one month, in addition to one issue published by Li Ke, Datang Weekly published eight issues later, with an average of one issue every three days.
There are many articles about Li Ke in the daily newspapers. Although the last one or two issues are gone, it is obvious that there is no new "praise" to be thought of. And Li Ke's reputation in Chang'an City is already bad in the eyes of outsiders. .
"Lao Li, Datang Weekly is going to be published today. Do you want to buy it?" a person asked a stall owner.
"If you don't buy it, it's not interesting. It has nothing to do with people like us. Five cents is a lot." The stall owner said with a smile.
"Me, that's right, forget it, I won't buy it either. I keep scolding His Highness the King of Shu in different ways every day. It's a pity that many people are blind. I really don't know what benefit they get from scolding the King of Shu." This person also Sighed.
"Yes, it's a pity that no one listens to what we people say. His Highness the King of Shu is a really good person." The stall owner also sighed.
The two of them have had solid contact with the King of Shu and received favors from His Highness, so they knew that the King of Shu was not helping the people at all, as those people said, but had other agendas. They had no intention of doing so at the beginning. I told people about it, but then...forget it, I couldn't tell them, so I had no choice but not to tell them.
…
In a shopping mall, all the literati, including Tian Meng, Yang Anning and other brothel girls, gathered together again. Today, a shopping mall closed, and Li Ke appeared in front of them again.
"Your Highness, when will we start to fight back?!" A scholar couldn't help but asked loudly.
"Tomorrow!" Li Ke said with a smile.
"Great!" Many people cheered directly. They had been in contact with Li Ke, so they understood more and more how outrageous the rumors outside were, and His Highness the King of Shu's status in their hearts became more and more important.
Not just these scholars, but everyone before Li Ke was like this! The soldiers and people in his house all admired Li Ke more and more. Without comparison, there is no harm, and they have seen through the faces of those people.
"Now let me tell you why I let you do this." Li Ke said lightly.
Everyone immediately sat upright with solemn expressions and listened carefully.
