The Lone Star of the Tang Dynasty

As the chamberlain read the word "however", all the officials with family backgrounds couldn't help but feel nervous, they understood that Li Er had thoroughly checked Cui Zhengde's life's deeds, and chose to read it out in public. It was definitely a well-planned operation!

Now that the Tang Dynasty has just been peaceful, the people's memories of the famine are still fresh, and the pain is deep in the bone marrow. On the surface, these family officials pretend to love the people, but when it comes to the taxation of the treasury and the use of the people, their faces become hideous and terrifying. In the face of roadside starvation, they often use the excuse that large families also have no food, but in fact, they know very well in their hearts that how can large households be compared with ordinary people?

Li Er made the arrogance and indulgence of Cui Zhengde's daily life public, which was self-evident in the degree of stimulation to the surrounding people. And that's just the beginning, and everyone can almost predict how powerful the rest will be.

"During the period when Cui Zhengde was running a shop in Chang'an, he repeatedly forced him to buy and sell, causing 96 merchants to go bankrupt and even lose their homes...... In order to monopolize the business of a certain industry in Chang'an City, he even sent the dead soldiers raised by the Cui clan of Qinghe to cripple competitors, and there were many suspected murders, the number of which cannot ......be counted."

"These crimes are made known to the whole world, and all the people should know about them. If you have any questions, you can always visit Chang'an Zhuque Street. This revelation is undoubtedly a fatal blow to those family officials who are actually fish and meat in the township under the banner of loving the people.

The chamberlain finished reading the edict ......

Li Er looked around with a smile, looking at the ministers who were suspicious and hesitant, and secretly laughed in his heart.

"Everyone, do you have any objections to this charge-a-of-charge report?" asked Li Er leisurely, a hint of a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.

"If you have any doubts, I can send someone to bring the exhumed bodies and captured witnesses right now. "

There was an unmistakable domineering in his words, which made the ministers who had fought against him feel a little panicked.

Li Er's eyes became sharp, and his tone became more stern.

"Punish this evil man, may I ask, what is the crime?!" Li Er's tone was full of domineering, this was his majesty as an emperor.

At this moment, he is no longer the amiable king, but a ruler who holds the power of life and death.

At this moment, all the officials of the family family felt a chill down their backs, and they no longer dared to confront Li Er.

They understood that Li Er's anger today was not groundless, but because he already had conclusive evidence.

At this time, whoever dares to say more than half a sentence is tantamount to seeking his own death.

Zheng Xuannian was secretly glad in his heart that he didn't speak impulsively just now. He couldn't help but feel funny when he looked at the faces of those family officials who were like ashes and trembling in two streams, these people were usually invincible, but now they have become like this.

However, Zheng Xuannian did not laugh out loud.

He was holding his breath at the moment, the noise in his ears gradually became clear, and the discussion of the people was like an undercurrent, which was gradually converging into a powerful momentum. He could feel the emotion growing stronger in the air, as if it might break through the restraints at any moment and erupt.

Finally, in the interweaving of depression and anticipation, a firm and passionate voice broke the silence like thunder: "Wow! Your Majesty is really wise and decisive, and you have come out with this evil breath for us and other people!" Before the words fell, a strong man in the crowd raised his arms and raised his arms, which resonated in the hearts of countless people.

"These vampire-like magnates are powerful and powerful on weekdays, and they treat my poor family like a mustard, and those so-called state officials and county orders are all minions of their own forces, where is there a place for us to avenge our grievances!" As soon as these words came out, the crowd was furious, and angry accusations swept through the entire Suzaku Square like a storm.

"If it weren't for His Majesty's thunderous means, these pests would have gone unpunished forever!"

All of a sudden, voices of approval and gratitude rose one after another, and everyone shouted in unison: "Kill well! We should kill all these wicked people who oppress the people!"

In the warm support, the oath of "swearing to follow Your Majesty" is endless, like a continuous mountain and tsunami, shaking every corner.

In the face of such a torrent of public opinion, the wine glasses in the hands of those family officials who usually sit in high positions and enjoy privileges seem to have become extremely heavy at this moment. They looked at each other in astonishment in extreme fear, if all the people in the world responded to King Qin, even if it was an intertwined wealthy family like Wushi Qiwang, its power would face the fate of collapse.

Li Er's smile re-hung on the corner of his mouth, and this calmness made Zheng Xuannian and the others look like ashes.

Zheng Xuannian's heart turned upside down, and he couldn't accept the situation in front of him no matter what: every step of the careful planning, according to common sense, even if Fang Xuanling and other strategists around Li Er were outstanding, today's events should not have such a dramatic reversal!

In the midst of his thoughts, Zheng Xuannian's heart suddenly shook and remembered a neglected history - since the Wagangzhai Uprising, Li Er's journey along the way is full of unknowns and variables.

"Could it be that ......," he asked himself in his heart, "Who would have concluded that Fang Xuanling and the others were all the think tanks under Li Er's command? Could it be that behind this, Li Er was assisted by one or even many masters who had not revealed their true faces, so that they could turn the tide at a critical moment?"

This possibility suddenly flashed in Zheng Xuannian's mind, like a thunderbolt piercing the sky, making him sweat like rain in an instant.

He secretly thought to himself, if Li Er really had the help of such a hidden master or even many hidden masters, and could solve such a tricky situation, wouldn't Li Er have divine help? This wise man behind him can definitely be called a genius like Zhang Liang and Guiguzi!

Thinking of this, Zheng Xuannian's face changed sharply, knowing that he would no longer dare to act rashly, so he did not hesitate to bend his knees.

In the face of the officials of the full house, he took the lead in issuing a loud and awe-filled shout: "God bless the Tang Dynasty! May Your Majesty live a long life!"

The scene was extremely delicate, and the brief silence was filled with tension and astonishment.

But the silence lasted only for a moment, and then it was shattered by the ensuing shock.

All the officials of the family followed Zheng Xuannian's example, knelt on the ground in unison, and shouted in unison: "God bless the Tang Dynasty! Long live Your Majesty!".

Among this group of officials, there are many people who are quick to react and have exquisite thoughts, and they even made decisions one step faster than Zheng Xuannian.

At the same moment when Zheng Xuannian just knelt down, someone had already spoken, but the slogan was slightly different: "Your Majesty is wise and martial!".

This change has a profound meaning:

First of all, this is a sincere oath of allegiance to Li Er himself, which is a little more of a complete surrender and plea for forgiveness than the previous "Long live Your Majesty", and its effect is obviously more powerful;

Secondly, this also shows their break with their former companions Cui Zhengde and others, and they seem to silently admonish themselves in their hearts: "Cui Zhengde and others are not punishable, I haven't said anything, Brother Li, you have a lot, don't take it to heart! I don't dare to make mistakes again!".

Li Er was not complacent because of everyone's compliments, but smiled indifferently and laughed at himself: "Don't shout long live me, I'm just a faint king." "

As soon as the words changed, he ordered again: "In this case, you don't occupy so many high positions to enjoy the imperial food, all of them will demote me by three levels, and give up your position to the civilian talents selected by the imperial examination!"

In the end, I didn't forget to laugh at Cheng Biting Jin, who was snickering: "Don't laugh, Cheng Biting Jin, you should also go with the demotion and leisure!".
