Many people looked sad and angry after reading Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng's comments. No one pointed it out before, so they just ignored it, but now Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng's song "Thinking about Li Ke" directly hit them all. Human aorta.
Is this thinking of Li Ke? ! This is the thought of His Highness, this is the feat of His Highness, this is the sadness of His Highness!
As a prince, he thinks about the people of the world. As a prince, he thinks about the poor families in the world. As a prince, he seeks a way out for all scholars!
May I ask? Were there ancient people before us? Will there be someone else coming later? !
No, if His Highness the King of Shu falls, there will be no more!
It turns out that the reason why they feel that "Datang Weekly" is becoming less and less interesting to read is because it has been controlled by the aristocratic family. It turns out that it has become a tool of the aristocratic family and has once again begun to control everyone.
Among the spectators, some people yelled and cursed on the spot.
"Let me tell you, where did all the dirty information on His Royal Highness the King of Shu come from in the past few days? Now I think it is all deliberately slandered by people sent by those powerful families!"
"Yes, it has been so many years. With His Royal Highness the Shu King's reckless character, this matter has been exposed a long time ago, but has there ever been one in Chang'an City in so many years? No! This suddenly came out, and it got worse and worse. It’s getting more and more outrageous!”
"Your Highness, King of Shu, is wronged!"
"Hey, forget it, Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng is right. Datang Weekly is not worth buying. There is no need. What is the difference between you and me if you don't read the content written on it? Those articles are just those The courtiers and elders are just here to see each other."
"Yeah, I won't buy it tomorrow either."
"Hey, everyone, please take a look here. There is a new article written by Ning Chan... He wrote what Mr. Lan Ling wanted to say!"
"Where? Let me see!"
Article after article, like information sources, instantly caused a sensation among all the people in Chang'an City! There are similar contents posted in more than 100 cities and towns in Chang'an, but Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng's "Thinking about Li Ke" made everyone feel sad and angry.
Ordinary people even kept cursing.
And those who originally cursed His Highness the King of Shu for his dirty information are gone. At this time, who can still come out to curse? Didn't you see it? Mr. Lanling has already said that those were all deliberately smeared by the Tang Dynasty Weekly, controlled by aristocratic families, to smear His Highness the King of Shu.
Which one do you still believe? You also come from a wealthy family, right?
Some people who have not read it for the time being will soon be popularized by others, and then rush over to read these small-character posters.
In just one day, it can be said that the public opinion in the entire city of Chang'an has completely changed. Not to mention that various literati and common people are discussing endlessly. Now everyone knows the power of the powerful family.
It's just that Changsun Wuji and even everyone in the court didn't know about this, because they had been paying attention to this thing for nearly a month, but then they discovered that this thing seemed to be organized spontaneously. Although It may have been the work of His Highness the King of Shu at the beginning.
But as time went by, more and more literati joined in, and it was obvious that the King of Shu could no longer control it. Later, after they began to carry out negative propaganda, His Highness the King of Shu did not respond at all, which made them completely relieved. .
But what they didn't know was that it wasn't that Li Ke didn't fight back, but that the time had not come yet. As the saying goes, let the bullets fly for a while.
More than a month has passed now, and no one is paying attention at all, and Li Ke seems to have died down, as if his whole person has suddenly become depressed. He has never appeared in front of others since he was beaten by His Majesty.
So in the next few issues of Datang Weekly, these talents let themselves go and started doing their old tricks again.
Although the article is still written in vernacular, the content is quite different.
Li Shimin was also a little upset during this period. There was no news about Li Ke. This was completely out of character for him. This kid had never suffered a loss since he was a child. Now he suddenly suffered such a big loss, but he didn't react at all.
The paper for Datang Weekly was supplied as usual, as much as needed, and even the price was based on the selling price to the public. He himself did not come to him to cry. Even about the honorary title that Li Shimin passed in the court, Li Kedu didn't seem to care.
This made Li Shimin feel uncertain. Wouldn't this kid be defeated all at once? This time it seemed that it was indeed a bit too much. I should have stopped him in the first place.
If he had stopped this matter in the first place, although the final result might not have changed much, but giving Li Ke a buffer time, he might be able to accept it.
If this person collapses, Li Shimin will feel a little uncomfortable. It was his own son! And he is a very good son! How could he not know that these things Li Ke had researched during this period were of great help to Datang?
Now that I think about it, it seems that it is indeed my fault. He has created so many things, so forget it without giving him any reward.
Hey... this kid is right to feel chilled.
"Chang Lin, go to Xuan Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling to see me." Li Shimin sighed.
"yes!"
Soon, Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling rushed to the Liangyi Hall. After the ceremony, Li Shimin pondered for a while. He couldn't say anything else. He just changed his words: "For more than a month, I have been thinking about what the King of Shu should do." So many things have happened that are beneficial to the country and the people, but I didn’t give him any reward. It seems to be a bit biased, so I decided to change his title to a prince. What do you think?"
Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng looked at each other. They probably knew what Li Shimin was doing. To be honest, they didn't understand what the King of Shu was doing.
It's only been more than a month, and His Royal Highness the King of Shu has really shown no reaction. He has not gone to court, and he has gone to no one knows where. He seems to have been in the palace, pretending to be recovering from his injuries. There seemed to be no reaction, as if he was hit by Chang'an City's remarks.
"But it's okay. I wonder what title your Majesty prefers?" Wei Zheng doesn't care. These titles are just for Li Shimin's son to play with. The number of households in the city can be increased by one or two hundred households at most. It won't affect the overall situation. It's just their own family's business.
"King Qin." Li Shimin spit out two words.
"Ah?" Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling were stunned. They never expected that Li Shimin would actually give this title... King Qin's title was before Li Shimin became emperor. Generally speaking, it would not be given to other princes.
If it is said that before the crown prince is established, he can be granted the title because it means inheriting the mantle. Generally speaking, he will be followed by the crown prince.
But now that there is a prince, to be crowned King of Qin at this time... This is indeed a great honor. The question is, are you not afraid of arousing the prince's thoughts? Other top kings such as the King of Wu, King of Wei, and King of Jin can be granted the title, so why do they have to be granted the title of King of Qin?
"What? No?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows.
"Of course not. Your Majesty can grant you whatever title you want." Wei Zheng hesitated. He actually wanted to make excuses from various aspects such as history and ancestral system, but this didn't seem to violate anything. Logically speaking, when someone becomes the emperor, After that, many of his previous titles and positions became taboos at the time. But this kind of rule is not explicit, it is tacitly accepted by everyone.
