After Yi Chongzhu returned to the Ministry of Rites, he received the document that the Ministry of Personnel dismissed him from the doctor of the Ministry of Rites and would never hire him!

It was not until this time that he understood why those people in the court looked at him with a fool's eyes, and also understood why his immediate boss, Li Daozong, would scold him for being a fool after the court dispersed!

However, he still didn't understand why he clearly spoke out and pointed out His Majesty's mistakes, but instead lost his official position? Those students did not die!

He had no shame to ask others, and no one would tell him this... Who made him a fool who had no background in aristocratic family and had no good teacher, and was only relying on his father's military achievements on the battlefield, Mengyin, and became the doctor of the Ministry of Rites?

...

Shortly after the court meeting ended, several middle-aged men gathered in a private room in a restaurant in Chang'an City, all of whom were frowning and thinking quietly.

"My head has already heard news that he will fully cooperate with our actions. He requires only one, and he must not let cheap books spread!"

"I also received instructions from my family to stop this matter at any cost!"

"But now Li Shimin's intention of compromise is even a blunt warning. If he really pushes him out of trouble, what if he really..."

"No, Li Shimin would never do that easily. The result of the chaos in the world cannot be what he wants! So the only way to make Li Shiming compromise at the moment is to make the world really mess up!"

"What? Will the dynasty change again?"

"No! I don't mean to change the dynasty, but just to make the world look less stable and let Li Shimin see our strength!"

"But now, as the people are becoming more and more peaceful, and after the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, they have long disliked the days of turmoil. I'm afraid they won't cause chaos in the world so easily! The reasons we said in the court are not tenable at all. After all, ordinary people will not care about the prince's words and deeds, regardless of whether cheap books are blasphemous sages... They will only judge affairs based on the benefits they have obtained!"

"Yes, no matter whether you act contemptuously or irritate Li Gang, selling articles of sages has nothing to do with the people. But cheap books are related to their vital interests!"

"No, you have overlooked one thing! He did not explain the reason for the killing of those students in front of Li Shimin's Zhuque Gate!"

"Isn't it to warn me to wait?"

"Who in the world knows that Li Shimin killed these students to warn us? Just like the official in the court today, even though he was in the court, he still had no idea about the secrets of the students being killed. You can think about how many ordinary people can see through it?"

"But this matter is not enough to cause turmoil in the world, so that Li Shimin will compromise!"

"It is indeed not enough to cause turmoil in the world, but it can cause turmoil among the scholars in the world. Don't forget that most of the scholars in the world come from their own families!"

......

A few days later, His Majesty Li Er received memorials from various prefectures in the world. Although they were submitted by different officials, the content was surprisingly consistent!

Everyone is talking about one thing, that is, scholars in the jurisdiction of these officials collectively ran to the Daozhou Prefecture Office to gather and petition.

The content of these scholars' petition was to ask His Majesty Li Er to explain the reasons why he had killed those students who were not guilty of death in front of the Zhuque Gate!

"Haha, these people have indeed taken the bait!" When His Majesty Li Er saw these memorials, he was not only not angry, but also had no expression of worry, but instead smiled relaxedly.

The same is true for Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, who were beside him, said with a smile: "Your Majesty's plan has worked. Can you start the next plan?"

"Well, it's almost done. Some places have already participated in the petitions of scholars. It's time to close the net!"

"Yes, I'll do it now!"

...

The next morning, the front page headline of the "Datang Daily", which had been published to the tenth issue, published an article written by Sun Fujia, the young minister of Dali Temple. It was still like the previous "Datang Daily", and the whole article was similar to the content of plain language, so that only people who know literacy could understand it. After reading this article, the people started to discuss it enthusiastically!

"I said, why did Your Majesty kill those people directly, but he didn't even tell the reason for the murder. So that's the case!"

"The Dou family is simply crazy. They actually bribed those students and let them spread rumors and slander His Highness the Crown Prince! Where did His Highness provoke them? To frame him like this? The loss is the royal relatives!"

"You don't know this. I heard that the son of Princess Xiangyang was greedy for the interests of the princess's industries, so he used some disgraceful means to steal the glass production process. Princess did not hold Dou Xiaode responsible for the face of Princess Xiangyang, but just arrested the shopkeeper of Jubaoxuan. As a result, Dou Xiaode killed Zhao Er's family in a mad manner! His Highness was very angry about this, so he no longer gave anyone any face and went to the princess's house to arrest Dou Xiaode! As a result, the Dou family found some officials and pleaded with ten major crimes for Your Highness..."

"How did you know so detailed? It's not a lie, right?"

"Hmph, you're not from us in Chang'an!"

"What does this have to do with whether I am from Chang'an?"

"Of course it's relevant. A few days ago, Dali Temple publicly tried the case of Dou Xiaode and others deliberately killing Zhao Er's family in order to frame the prince. At that time, the people were allowed to be heard, and many people were on the scene!"

"So that's it! It seems that I have had too many misunderstandings about the prince before... Can you tell me about the prince again?"

"Of course, let's go to the restaurant over there to have a meal and chat..."

...

Three days ago, Dali Temple suddenly issued an announcement saying that it would publicly try the massacre of Zhao Er's family!

At first, the people were still a little confused about what a public trial was. It was not until the Shaoqing of Dali Temple appeared to explain that the people realized that this public trial was to allow the people to be heard and witness the trial of Dali Temple throughout the process!

Although it is not new to allow the people to attend the trial, it is indeed the first time that Dali Temple, the highest judicial organ in the country, allows the people to attend the trial of cases!

So, when the trial officially began, the originally spacious lobby of Dali Temple was crowded with people who came to watch the fun, and even the courtyard outside the lobby was crowded with people!

As the presiding officer of the case, when Sun Fujia, the young minister of Dali Temple, saw this scene, he was very worried about Li Chengqian, who had the idea of ​​public trial!

If you have nothing to do, why do you have to open trial? So many people... I am under a lot of pressure!
