Chapter 1083: You are like a boat, but you are as cautious as walking on thin ice (Part 2)


Chapter 1083: The king is like a boat, and he is as cautious as walking on thin ice (Part 2)

Li Yifu looked at the pile of "confessions" in front of him, curled his lips, and felt quite dissatisfied.

According to his original intention, he only needs to find a few unlucky people among the people and blame them all, and then quickly close the case, behead those who deserve it, and exile them if they deserve it, so that the evidence is solid, even if it is What if someone doubts and blames?

But Fang Jun was soft-hearted and couldn't bear to harm people's lives in vain, which caused flaws in the originally perfect plan. There is not even a culprit, and there is no one for the family members to vent their anger on. You just want the family members to hold their noses and admit it?

After thinking about it, Li Yifu found Cheng Wuting, and the two talked in a low voice.

Cheng Wuting frowned and said: "Isn't this... I'm afraid it's not good? The Marquis has a kind heart and cannot bear to harm the lives of the people. Doesn't this go against his original intention?"

Li Yifu disagreed: "Master Hou is a role model for us in terms of benevolence and virtue. But as subordinates, we naturally have to fill in the gaps for Shangguan. We know clearly that Shangguan's actions are flawed, so how can we blindly obey him for fear of offending Shangguan?" Rende, let us do the bad things!”

Cheng Wu thought deeply for a while and nodded in agreement.

Li Yifu immediately arranged for people to change the "confessions" of several leaders among the people, and identified them as the chief offenders, and sentenced them all to death!

Watching Cheng Wuting leave, Li Yifu sneered in his heart.

Fang Jun's ability is beyond praise. He is a leader among the younger generation in the court. He is the best choice for his mental and political strategy. He is a good person to be loyal to and follow. It's a pity that the temper is too womanly. What do a few untouchables deserve for their lives? He actually wants to use the method of "the law does not punish the public" to force all the members of the aristocratic family to bow their heads. It is simply a joke!

Even His Majesty wouldn't be satisfied with this approach, right?

Li Yifu knew that there must be an informant of "Baiqisi" in Jingzhao Mansion. His practice of framing people without authorization behind Fang Jun's back would certainly make Fang Jun dissatisfied, but it would definitely reach His Majesty's ears and eyes.

Fang Jun's wife's kindness has left endless troubles, but he must deal with it with an iron fist and make judgments!

As long as we can enter His Majesty's Dharma Eyes, isn't it just around the corner that we will achieve great success?

*****

Heavy snow is falling all over the sky, with no intention of stopping.

The fire in Daodefang has disappeared, and only the thick black smoke sweeps up the soot and debris into the sky. White snow and black ash are scattered one after another, staring at the ruins under the sky.

Who set the fire?

Who killed the person?

None of this matters.

When the turbulent public opinion gathers into a mighty stream and moves forward, it is the most unpredictable force in the world. Everything in front of it will be torn into pieces and will not be spared...

As soon as the flames of the Yuan family were extinguished, a large group of officials stood in front of Zhuque's door.

Heavy snow fell, covering the stone slabs in front of the Zhuque Gate. The heads and shoulders of the officials were covered with snow.

They just stood in silence in the snow, ignoring their numb feet. They raised the fluorene tablets and memorials in their hands high, bowed in the direction of Tai Chi Palace, and stayed up for a long time.

These are all censors who came from aristocratic families.

When Yuan Zheng used various interests to form a large network against Fang Jun, the children of these aristocratic families were quite dissatisfied. Even if a behemoth like the Yuan family loses in the struggle, it will only lose some interests. Why should it be so solemn and grand?

But now, all the ridicule and ridicule have become an unparalleled shock!

The dignified Guanzhong Yuan family, which had been proud of Guanzhong since the "Eight Pillar Kingdom" era and was the most entrenched family in the world, was overthrown by a group of illiterate mud-legged people. This made all the family members shudder!

Who knows if these ignorant people and untouchables will smash up their own door tomorrow?

Benevolence, righteousness and morality are all created by aristocratic families for the untouchables in the world to see. In fact, which aristocratic family would not do some dirty things in private? Just talking about burials, although the scale of the Yuan family's burials is larger and the methods of burials are more cruel, but which family doesn't?

The culprits of this civil uprising must be severely punished, the world must be warned, and such a thing must be strictly prevented from happening again!

From being accommodating to others to taking the initiative now, all the aristocratic families have realized the power of public opinion!

His hatred for Fang Jun is like a torrential flood that cannot be stopped!

Must fight back!

Therefore, more than twenty imperial censors of rank six or above and senior officials from various ministries gathered here to report to His Majesty the Emperor and impeach Fang Jun!

In the Tai Chi Palace, His Majesty Li Er's face sank like water, and he suppressed his anger fiercely.

He was not angry at the group of officials from aristocratic families who stood solemnly in the heavy snow outside the Zhuque Gate, but angry at Fang Jun for actually daring to use such a method of inciting public opinion to completely destroy the Yuan family!

Whether the Yuan family is destroyed or not is not in His Majesty Li Er's eyes.

For an emperor who was wealthy and had the world in mind, the prosperity and decline of his family had long been beyond his sight.

What he is afraid of is that all the aristocratic families will unite and create a situation like when he coerced Emperor Sui Yang and forced him to go south to Jiangdu!

Therefore, even if he wanted to suppress the family members, he would only use gentle methods as much as possible to kill as few people as possible and bleed as little blood as possible.

What he is even more afraid of is the power of the ferocious and ruthless public opinion that can destroy the world!

In the face of this power, even the supreme emperor in the human world has to be as frightened as a small boat on the flood. If you are not careful, the boat will capsize and people will die!

The people can follow it, but they cannot know it!

This is what Confucius said. What does it mean?

We can let the people follow the path we guide without letting them know why.

Why not let him know?

"The common people can use it every day but cannot understand it", "The way of the saint is profound and difficult for people to understand"...

Since it is not easy to know and very troublesome to know, there is no need to know it.

The more people know, the harder it will be to fool people and the more trouble they will have.

They always gather together to cause trouble, and if they are even slightly dissatisfied with the government, they organize gatherings. How can that lead to chaos in the world?

Of course, he was angry at Fang Jun's actions. At this time, His Majesty Li Er still had to stand firmly behind Fang Jun and maintain Fang Jun's position.

You can't push Fang Jun to the front desk to confront Guanlong Group, and deal with Fang Jun later. Wouldn't that be a slap in the face?

His Majesty Li Er, who has great face, would never do this...

"Your Majesty, more and more officials are gathering outside the Zhuque Gate. Look..."

Wang De reminded in a trembling voice.

He had seen the fire at Daodefang in the palace, and it was really shocking.

He even thought about what if these mobs attacked Tai Chi Palace...

To kill or not to kill?

Whether to kill or not is a huge problem.

His Majesty Li Er snorted and said in a deep voice: "I want to take a look at the faces of these shameless people who pretend to be benevolent, righteous and moral. How ugly they look when the Yuan family suffers a disaster."

"No!"

Wang De responded and turned around to inform the important ministers in the court to prepare for going to court.

Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has never gone to court at this time...

After receiving the notice from the court, the ministers in Chang'an City immediately put on their court clothes and came to Tai Chi Palace.

Only Fang Xuanling took sick leave and stayed in the house to pretend to be ill...

In the Tai Chi Hall, the atmosphere was solemn.

His Majesty Li Er sat on the dragon chair, looked around at the ministers in the palace, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly without any trace.

Impeach Fang Jun?

Haha, the number of impeachment memorials that have been sent to Taiji Hall these days is not one hundred but eighty. Although they seem to have something to say, after careful consideration, there is no one thing that can seriously impeach Fang Jun.

He is not corrupt, does not bend the law, does not form factions, does not show favoritism, and does not conspire to rebel or collaborate with the enemy and treason. What other crime can impeach Fang Jun?

Now Fang Jun is like a bronze man with copper skin and iron bones, making people hate him so much that he has nowhere to bite...

The officials in the palace actually also had a headache.

It is necessary to impeach Fang Jun. This is his attitude and his own interests. It is imperative.

But what gives everyone a headache is that Fang Jun is too good!

Before this bastard could incite public opinion and destroy the Yuan family, he used Zhenguan Weekly to promote the importance of population and life. At this time, public opinion was overwhelmingly against the Yuan family. The whole world was condemning the Yuan family for being so heartless and disregarding human lives. The collapse of the Yuan family not only did not arouse the slightest sympathy, but everyone was applauding!

Who dares to stand up and plead grievances for the Yuan family at this time?

Whoever stands up is an ally of the Yuan family, an inhuman executioner, and stands on the opposite side of the people of the world. He is a butcher who regards human life as nothing, and will surely be attacked by the public opinion of the world!

The reputation of the family is more important than anything else!

Who dares to take such a risk?

Then we can only make a fuss about inciting public opinion... (End of Chapter)
