Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Looking at the enthusiastic crowd below, Li Shen couldn't help but sigh in his heart,

Although he didn't want to admit it, ordinary people were prejudiced against the powerful deep down in their hearts, including the rich.

After something happens, their first choice is to sympathize with the weak, empathize with them, and then give various reasons from their own perspective.

This is the case for the following group of literati. If the victim of this incident was Li Shen, they would only laugh at Li Shen's stupidity and use this incident as a conversation piece after dinner.

But if it were Sloppy, this group of people would empathize with him and think of the oppression and unwillingness they had suffered.

This is mixed with jealousy and hatred towards the powerful.

But when they enter the officialdom and reach the sky in one step, their thoughts will change accordingly, and they will vividly interpret the double standards.

This is human nature, this is the human heart.

Li Shen calmed down and walked down the tower. The gate opened and he walked out.

Everyone looked at Li Shen. At this time, the personal guard led Li Shen's white dragon horse over, turned over and Li Shen glanced at everyone.

"All students, please join me and seek justice from the Aspiration Chamber of Commerce for Careless." Li Shen shouted, then rode his horse slowly towards Dongshi.

The scholars looked at each other and followed King Ji to Dongshi.

If anyone quits at this time, he will no longer be able to hold his head high in the circle of literati, and will lose the pride of a literati from then on.

In addition to these literati, there were many common people who went together. Although they had no status, they could support the scene in large numbers.

Just like that, Li Shen left with a large group of people. Zhuque Street returned to calm in the blink of an eye. It was even deserted than before, with no one left.

Not far from the Zhuque Gate, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian walked out of the darkness. Not only they, but also the top leaders of the three provinces and six ministries behind them.

After they knew that Li Shen was coming, they came to see the excitement and hid behind a building to listen to Li Shen's speech.

Everyone was just curious about how Li Shen would use such a large gathering of scholars to make these people retreat willingly.

These people are all fine people, who is willing to do things that offend scholars.

Old ministers like Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji cherished their feathers even more. In the past, this kind of thing would only comfort or drive away.

Either way is likely to cause estrangement.

Many of these people are students who have traveled from various places. After returning home, they will make up nonsense for you in the local literary circles, and no one can stand it.

So when they heard that His Majesty had ordered King Ji to handle the matter, they also came with Li Shimin to observe and learn, or to laugh.

These people were all prepared for Li Shen to beat the students and send troops to drive them away.

But no one expected that Li Shen would fool these scholars into stunned silence after just a few words.

"Come here, tell the right lord guard to go to Dongshi to maintain order. Don't let any accidents happen. Don't worry about anything else."

Li Shimin ordered.

"Your Majesty, King Ji is so eloquent. He made those students leave willingly with just a few words. He is truly a great talent."

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and praised with a smile. He really wanted to say that your son is really good at cheating.

Li Shimin laughed loudly after hearing this.

"Hahahahaha, Fang Qing is so impressed. This treacherous son is also very eloquent, and he is so lazy when trying to get things done."

Although he had already experienced Li Shen's language art, Li Shen's words today made him very satisfied.

Not only did he speak out about his achievements, he also gained face for the court and connected the people with the court.

It is conceivable that these words of Li Shen will soon be spread by these scholars, and may even be written into legends and spread throughout the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, King Ji is really talented, but I am helpless. When King Ji comes, he turns his hands to make clouds and rain.

A few words echoed hundreds of responses, and thousands of scholars were put to use. Even the old ministers were so impressed that they were resigned to being inferior. "

Changsun Wuji on the side also praised with a smile.

Li Shimin turned to look at him, and then glanced at Li Chengqian.

"Okay, this is just Prince Ji's rhetoric. It's no big deal. Now that the matter is over, I will go back."

"Farewell to Your Majesty."

Li Shimin turned and walked towards the palace, and Li Chengqian followed obediently behind him.

Returning to Liangyi Hall, Li Shimin went directly into the tea room.

"Gao Ming, what do you think of today's events?" Li Shimin asked after sitting down.

"Back to Aye, Lao Shi is indeed very powerful. With just a few words, he can make these scholars and scholars obey him."

"Obey what you say? Haha, that's wrong, how can these scholars follow what you say? They just follow what Lao Shi said is the pride of scholars.

If Lao Shi asked them to rebel, they would be the first to report Lao Shi. "

Li Shimin took a sip of the hot tea that Wang De had just brewed. He never missed any opportunity to teach Li Chengqian.

Li Shen's living teaching material is really useful sometimes, and can give you various cases.

Li Chengqian understood the meaning of his father's words, which was telling him that Lao Shi was not that big of a threat.

"Yes, I understand." Li Chengqian responded. Then he took the tea handed over by Wang De and continued:

"Aye, my tenth brother's skills are really beyond the reach of ordinary people, not even great scholars like the prime minister and my uncle.

I don’t understand why? "

"I have been studying it for a long time, but I can't figure it out. It's just some morale-boosting words, but Lao Shi can make these people moved by saying it.

I have done things to boost morale in the past, such as promising people promotions, promotions, wealth, etc., but nothing like Lao Shi. "

When Li Shen deceived the dandies, Li Shimin did some research and deceived these dandies into lameness without giving anything, just talking.

This troubled Li Shimin for a while.

"Yes, I just listened to it. Lao Shi didn't give anything, but what he said made me a little excited." Li Chengqian asked in confusion.

"When you have free time, you can ask Lao Shi for advice.

Look at Lao Shi's performance today, what do you understand from it? "

Li Chengqian thought for a while and shook his head. It wasn't that he was stupid, it was just that Li Chengqian had too little exposure to such things.

Since I took over the government, I have been handling government affairs and have not experienced any big storms.

Li Shimin didn't blame him. After experiencing it, he would naturally know how to deal with it.

"Lao Shi initially spoke harshly, reprimanding these scholars, using rebellion to suppress their arrogance, and placing them on the opposite side of the court and the people.

What these scholars care most about is reputation, so they are immediately at a disadvantage. "

Li Chengqian recalled that this was really what happened. After Li Shen finished speaking, the scholar's momentum immediately dropped.

He comes up with a big label of rebellion, and no one can calm down.
