Changsun Wuji and others could not guess the comments of the people in Chang'an City, but Li Ke knew that it was because the local snakes all over Chang'an City had no problem doing a basic intelligence collection work. Besides, this kind of intelligence collection did not require them to work hard. , just talk about these things with the people around you and you will know their reactions.
When he learned that the latest issue of Datang Weekly had sold only 10,000 copies, or even less than that, Li Ke knew that the time was ripe and it was time to swing the sword.
"Let's start." Li Ke spit out three words. He knew that when he said these three words, no one knew how many people would die in the end.
But he had to say this, and he had to say it.
Following Li Ke's order, all the literati below him were extremely excited, because they had finally waited for this day.
They are already very skilled at how to write a suitable small-character poster. There are hundreds of people here and it is impossible for everyone to plaster small-character posters all over Chang'an City. In fact, only a few people can plaster all over Chang'an City. Most of them are just It's just two or three posts, and they are responsible for differentiating opinions.
He is also a person whose investigation by the outside world is unclear.
But following Li Ke's order, everyone began to concoct their own materials.
On the comment column the next day, someone suddenly revealed that the printing plant of Datang Weekly was a trading company under the name of the Zheng family in Xingyang. The name of the shop owner, all the personnel of the company, etc. were clearly listed.
Even the costs incurred by the Zheng family in Xingyang were listed, saying that in order to speed up the printing of Datang Weekly, the Zheng family in Xingyang lost at least more than 15 copies of each newspaper.
Apart from this, the man said nothing.
However, this news is combined with Li Ke's previous "agenda setting" to lock in the "stereotype" of Datang Weekly. Datang Weekly is "controlled by a powerful family." Everyone has a fixed impression of this, so when the news came out, all the people got in touch immediately.
As expected, His Majesty the King of Shu was right, this Xingyang Zheng family is controlling Datang Weekly!
In just one day, the reputation of the Zheng family in Xingyang became bad in Chang'an City! But the person who broke the news didn't say anything at all, he just told some facts. Everything was the spontaneous association of the people.
At this time, someone suddenly remembered the "Jin Ping Mei" serialized by "Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng" in the past few days, and wasn't the protagonist in it Zheng Ximen? "Jin Ping Mei" has been serialized to the point of being relatively mediocre. Everyone who reads this book and considers himself a literati has to criticize it for being unsightly, but he still enjoys it.
On the contrary, the people didn't think so. They felt that Mr. Lanling really understood the people.
At this time, as soon as the incident involving the Zheng family in Xingyang happened, everyone immediately thought of Zheng Ximen. It was just a side branch and could not be called a wealthy family. It was just a wealthy family. However, the corruption of its life and the internal corruption were something that had not been felt before. How, because their attention was attracted by the key plot.
But now, everyone has remembered these contents.
It's simply... unsightly!
Even Mr. Lanling used two lines of poetry at the end of a chapter to describe it: The wine and meat of Zhumen are stinky, and the roads are frozen to death!
And this was just the beginning. The next day, more people began to reveal the evil things done by the Zheng family in Xingyang, and these evil things were nothing more than seizing people's fields, robbing people's women, buying and selling by force, and so on.
These crimes may not seem serious in the eyes of the powerful, but they are status issues. In the eyes of the common people, this means the destruction of their families! Because everyone can bring in themselves!
It can be said that the crowd is furious!
Li Ke did not ask anyone to investigate these revelations, because there was no need to investigate. These things were placed in a wealthy family, and one check would prove that similar things had definitely happened. Because these things are the norm for wealthy families! Otherwise, how could the land annexation in the later periods of various dynasties be accomplished?
Almost all follow the same path. Not to mention these big families, there are countless cases where small wealthy families have set traps for the common people in order to annex land.
Li Ke just pointed out a reason!
By the time Changsun Wuji and others noticed, it was already too late! The people in the entire Chang'an City were excited! What happened in front of Suzaku's door more than a month ago happened again! And this time there were even more people! Even in huge numbers!
In one morning, the number of people gathered in front of Zhuque Gate exceeded tens of thousands! There is even a growing trend.
The Chang'an Sixteenth Guards garrison was dispatched urgently and surrounded the square in front of Zhuque Gate, but they did not dare to take action.
As the news continued to spread to Chang'an City, people throughout Chang'an City tended to gather at Zhuque Square.
"Is this the result you want?" Li Shimin sat on his chair with a calm expression.
In front of him were kneeling Changsun Wuji and seven or eight bachelors from the Hongwen Hall, all of whom had pale faces at the moment. Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Xiao Yu, Gao Shilian and others stood side by side. Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Liu Hongji, Li Shiji and other generals were all fully armed and armored today. Even Qin Qiong, the sick Duke of Hu, was with them. The armor is on the body.
"I'm guilty." Changsun Wuji didn't say anything, but directly confessed. Just one thing that caused the people to be angry was a crime, so there was no need to explain at all. Changsun Wuji knew Li Shimin too well, and the more he explained at this time, the worse he got.
"Report!" The guard outside came in again.
"Speak!" Li Shimin said.
"Your Majesty, many people in Chang'an City have stopped gathering at Zhuque Gate, but they still stay in various streets and watch. The people in front of Zhuque Gate are also very quiet, and they have been kneeling quietly." Come in and report. The guard said quickly.
Li Shimin and others were a little surprised. This situation is actually the most likely to cause problems, but now they are all in order. This is...
Everyone didn't know what to say. Everyone who came here today knew how things happened, but everyone knew that you couldn't find Li Ke in this matter.
Those small-character posters in the comment section? If you go and check, although they haven't checked, they all know that Li Ke will never be found in the end.
And, can I check it now? Just look at the people outside the palace. As long as you check, everyone thinks it is controlled by a wealthy family.
"Everyone, get up, follow me out, and give an explanation to the people." Li Shimin sighed and stood up directly.
Changsun Wuji and others hesitated for a moment, then stood up because Li Shimin had already started walking out.
Cheng Yaojin and others followed quickly and surrounded Li Shimin, keeping Changsun Wuji and all other civil servants outside. Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others didn't care, and no one was bothered about it at this time. They all followed Li Shimin quickly.
