In the night, a strange atmosphere began to develop.

Some people are confused, some are confused, some are laughing, and some are thoughtful, but most people are still in a state of not knowing what is going on.

Until early the next morning, the Datang Evening News was delivered to my hands on time.

An article signed by Wei Zheng instantly aroused public opinion in Chang'an City.

"Your Majesty actually dug up his own royal garden?"

Sifang Inn.

The middle-aged man surnamed Jin with a round figure couldn't help but exclaimed as he looked at the newspaper in his hand. The down-and-out old man who was hiding in the corner of the corridor, basking in the sun and reviewing his homework, couldn't help but put down the book in his hand in surprise and turned to read

Come.

"Brother Jin, what did you just say? His Majesty dug up his own royal garden? How is this possible?"

The chubby man surnamed Jin, with a look of shock on his face, raised the newspaper in his hand at the down-and-out old man who was reviewing his homework.

"Brother He, you might as well take a look. How can the article written by Wei Gong, the secretary and supervisor of the dynasty, be fake?"

Even though Wei Zheng was smelly and tough in court, and was disliked by almost everyone, among the people, it was a guarantee of credibility. Other ministers might flatter, flatter, or commit fraud, but he would not.

Especially this kind of article, which is directly published in a newspaper, there is no possibility of lying.

The desolate old man with gray temples, who was called Brother He, looked moved and quickly stood up and walked over.

Unlike this man surnamed Jin, his family is in a difficult situation. In order to rush for the exam, the family has staked the few acres of their thin farmland. They can only survive on steamed buns for three meals a day, and newspapers that cost less than a penny for others.

He is never willing to buy it.

Therefore, on weekdays, I mostly wait for others to finish reading, and then I shamelessly borrow a few from acquaintances.

"As a king, Your Majesty actually goes to such lengths of self-discipline and hardship for the sake of the people of the world!"

Looking at the newspaper in his hand, the gray-haired old man named He couldn't help but feel suddenly moved.

"This has never happened since Yao and Shun!"

As he spoke, the gray-haired old man surnamed He put down the newspaper in his hand, stood up, tidied his shabby clothes meticulously, and solemnly bowed deeply in the direction of the palace, and stayed there for a long time.

"Your Majesty is kind and virtuous, why should we, the Tang Dynasty, be unhappy!"

"Your Majesty's kindness——"

In Chang'an City, many people unanimously saluted deeply in the direction of the palace.

The scholars who went to Beijing to take the exam, the teachers, teachers, students, and even many common people who were literate were all in agitated moods at this moment.

Since ancient times, I have only heard of it, but have I ever heard of a king who did this for the sake of the people?

If nothing else, this intention is unparalleled in history!

Scholars all react like this, let alone those who are rising to fight against common people?

Events are brewing and emotions are fermenting.

From Chang'an City, it gradually expanded outward.

I don’t know who it was or where, the shouts of “Long Live Your Majesty” gradually sounded, sparsely at first, then gradually echoed, and finally the shouts of “Long Live Your Majesty” resounded throughout Chang’an and shook the sky.

Listening outside, I suddenly remembered a sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.

The ministers who were attending the morning court couldn't help but look down on each other.

What is the situation?

But soon, there were warriors on duty who came quickly to report.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what happened. There are voices shouting "Long live your Majesty" outside!"

Li Shimin couldn't help but look stunned.

What's going on?

Why am I so popular all of a sudden?

Before he could inquire further, another warrior came running quickly.

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. Countless scholars, shouting slogans, rushed to the Wuchao Gate again. Judging from the scale, there were more people than the previous two times. Moreover, there seemed to be many ordinary people behind them.

The people——"

Li Shimin and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but sucked in a breath of cold air, feeling that their teeth hurt extremely.

Li Junxian, who was in charge of guarding the imperial city, was so sweaty.

"Everyone, be prepared!"

If so many people really broke into the city gate, it would be a huge disaster.

You're not going to say that this piece of shit Wang Zi'an did it again, are you?

This is too much!

This time I didn’t even say hello!

At this moment, Li Shimin wanted to rush forward and beat Wang Zi'an to the head.

But at this moment, he didn't care about anything else and stood up with his sword in hand.

"My dear friends, let me go and see who--"

Whoops, everyone rushed to the top of the city.

"Your Majesty, be careful——"

When Li Junxian saw that His Majesty had come with all the ministers from the court, he started to scold his mother. Why are you causing trouble here? But he had no choice but to take half a step forward and block Li Shimin behind him.

.

"It doesn't matter——"

Li Shimin stretched out his hand to pull away Li Junxian who was blocking him, and leaned down to look down. What he saw was a sea of ​​people so densely packed that he couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

I really want to make people ask.

The people below saw the yellow umbrella flying above the city from a distance.

"Your Majesty is benevolent, long live your Majesty——"

Whooping, like cutting wheat, the crowd knelt down one after another.

Ah, this——

Although Li Shimin didn't know what happened, he felt as if he had drank a cold drink in the dog days of summer.

Ever since he killed his brother, forced his father to retire, and ascended the throne as emperor, he has faced infamy every day. Although he pacified Mobei and provided relief to the victims, which made his reputation a little better, these comments are still flying around like flies.

It won't go away.

But now, these people spontaneously ran outside the Wuchao Gate and shouted the slogan "Your Majesty is benevolent, long live your Majesty". What does this mean!

Cool!

Li Shimin and Long Yan are delighted.

"Come here, pass on my words——"

Whoops, two rows of tall, fit and loud guards emerged from behind.

In this era where shouting is the only way to convey messages, human-shaped loudspeakers are indispensable.

"My fellow subjects, please be free -"

Li Shimin looked at the dark crowd of people kneeling below, his emotions in his heart were beyond words, and he was so emotional.

"I have been working hard and sleeping since I came to the throne. However, disasters are still common in this world, and many people are still displaced and suffering from hunger and cold. It is because I have not done well enough, and I am sorry for you——"

Li Shimin's words were shouted through the guards around him.

Suddenly there was a response like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.

"Your Majesty is benevolent, long live your Majesty——"

After Li Shimin comforted him for a long time, the scholars and common people below began to disperse one after another.

Li Junxian couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, while the other ministers looked confused.

Can anyone tell me what happened?

When did our Majesty become so popular with the people?

Li Shimin went back as if he had stepped on clouds.

Don’t ask, just ask because it feels good!

After returning to the main hall from the top of the city, my mood has not yet calmed down.

Although there were still some trivial matters that had not been dealt with, he was impatient to know what was going on outside, so he directly signaled for the court to disperse and defer further discussion.

Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian, Tang Jian, Wei Zheng and Changsun Wuji could not help but look at each other and all stayed.

They are also very curious.
