Chapter 723 What exactly does Lin Xuan want to do?
These imperial guards were still more than ten feet away from those kneeling and protesting, and they were divided into two teams. They walked neatly and surrounded these people in a short time.
The sound of the imperial guards smashing their weapons to the ground in unison made many people tremble uncontrollably.
The imperial guards guarding the imperial palace were originally the most elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and soon after the Great Tang Dynasty came to an end, these imperial troops were all veterans who had experienced many battles. If they survived, whoever had few lives in their hands naturally carried a murderous look on them.
When the four leaders first saw the forbidden army, they didn't show much expression, but when they were surrounded by the forbidden army, they felt a terrifying murderous aura, and they were a little flustered.
"These imperial guards are not going to attack us, are they?"
"Mr. Sun, what should we do now?"
"Mr. Sun, quickly think of a way."
Most of those kneeling scholars had nothing to do with He Yu at all. Some of them respected He Yu's reputation and came here out of anger when they heard that He Yu was pissed off by Lin Xuan.
Some came here with the intention of earning a wave of fame.
They felt that there were so many people that it was impossible for Li Shimin to do anything to them, and they were likely to compromise in the end.
And those who can force the emperor to compromise also have the capital to brag about.
As the so-called scholar rebellion, three years failed.
Let them shake their heads and recite poems, they are naturally fine, but let them face the imperial army, few of them can remain indifferent.
The person called Mr. Sun by everyone is named Sun Hang.
Sun Hang is the master of Taihe Academy, and after He Yu died, Taihe Academy was dominated by him.
On the surface, he and He Yu's disciples took the lead in this kneeling demonstration, and these people naturally regarded him as the backbone.
Sun Hang was also a little flustered in his heart, but on the surface he put on a calm look and said, "Don't panic, Your Majesty loves talents and is famous all over the world. These forbidden soldiers dare not do anything to us, otherwise they will definitely arouse the indignation of scholars all over the world." .”
When the scholars heard this, they calmed down a lot.
After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he was well aware of the great significance of talents to the long-term stability of the country, and pointed out quite far-sightedly: "The foundation of governing the country is to win people." things.It is not that there are no thousand-mile horses in the world, but there is often a lack of Bole who discovers them.
In the second year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin said to Feng Deyi, the right servant: "If you want to make the country fundamentally stable, you can only get talented people. Recently, I ordered you to recommend talented people, but I didn't see you recommending a single person. Governing the world, government affairs You should share my worries and toils, if you don’t recommend talents, who will I entrust to?”
Feng Deyi replied: "Although I am ignorant, how dare I not do this task entrusted by the emperor with all my heart. It's just that I haven't found anyone with any special talents from what I've seen so far."
Li Shimin said: "The sage kings of the previous generation used talents just like using utensils. They did not hesitate to use talents from different generations, and they all took talents at that time. Can we wait to dream of talents like Fu Shuo and Lu Shang, and then go to see them?" Is it impossible to govern the country? Besides, which dynasty has no talented people, I’m afraid we just missed it and didn’t know.”
In order to select talents, Li Shimin has taken many measures. Although the selection of scholars has now been changed to passing the imperial examination, the recommendation system has not been completely banned.
This also made Li Shimin's reputation for loving talents well known by literati.
In addition, the imperial guards did not take any other actions, which relieved them a lot.
At this moment, a school lieutenant came over and said loudly: "Don't panic, everyone. These soldiers are here to protect you. If you want to leave, you can leave as you like, but in order to prevent someone from harming you, once you leave, you are not allowed to leave." Come back again. At the same time, other idlers are not allowed to contact you."
After hearing this, Sun Hang's heart fell completely, with a hint of disdain on his face.
It seemed that Li Shimin really had no choice but to get along with this method of imprisoning them here, and leaving when they were hungry or anxious.
The other scholars hadn't thought of this yet, and when they heard that the emperor had sent them to protect them, there was a hint of complacency on their faces.
But when Sun Hang told his guess, all the scholars were a little dumbfounded.
Can hold back without eating for a day or two, who can hold back this anxiety?
And the captain said that once he leaves, he can't come back, so they can't keep holding back.
The school lieutenant who sent the message heard the scholar's discussion and said: "Don't worry, everyone, someone will bring you three meals a day. Although it is not as good as what you usually eat, it is still no problem to fill your stomach. As for the matter of going to the latrine It's also easy to solve, and someone will build a temporary hut next to it in a while."
Sun Hang was taken aback, why was it different from what he thought?
Did Li Shimin really send someone to protect them?
Sun Hang shook his head, dispelling this idea.
Although he didn't know what Li Shimin was paying attention to, he just had to follow what the Cui family said, and he shouldn't worry about the rest.
Sun Hang was a little puzzled by Li Shimin's actions, but he didn't know that Li Shimin was also puzzled.
Li Shimin didn't know what Lin Xuan told Xu Jingzong, but what Lin Xuan said to Li Junxian, Li Junxian reported it to him in full.
Li Shimin and Sun Hang had the same idea when they first heard that Lin Xuan asked the imperial army to surround those people, allowing them to leave but not to enter.
Although Li Shimin felt that it was a little bit of a shame to do that, he didn't say anything. Anyway, he didn't give the order anyway, so he simply pretended not to know.
But when he heard that Lin Xuan had asked someone to prepare food and a hut for them, Li Shimin was also stunned.
Building a hut at the gate of the palace is simply a joke in the world.
Li Shimin had the urge to immediately call Lin Xuan over and scold him.
But Li Shimin finally held back.
As the saying goes, there is no doubt in employing people, and Li Shimin has done a good job in this regard.
Since he handed over this matter to Lin Xuan, he didn't intend to intervene before he fully understood what Lin Xuan was going to do.
It's just that it's impossible to build a hut at the gate of the palace.
There is a side door next to the Zhuque gate, Li Shimin simply ordered that all those who want to go to the hut will be taken by the imperial army through the side door to the hut in the palace.
As the main gate of the imperial palace, Suzaku Gate has a large number of imperial troops stationed there, so naturally there are huts.
Lin Xuan also knew this, but he was not qualified to let Li Junxian bring people into the palace, nor could he talk to Li Shimin about it.
But he knew that Li Shimin would know about his actions, so he did it.
As for Li Shimin's choice, it's up to him.
After Lin Xuan and Li Junxian finished talking, they went home.
Lin Dongyang and the others should have heard of this by now, and the family may be in chaos.
However, when Lin Xuan returned home, he found that there was no difference at home.
After chatting with his parents for a while, he realized that it was Li Lizhi's credit. Lin Xuan smiled gratefully at Li Lizhi.
Li Lizhi returned a smile and signaled Lin Xuan not to care with his eyes.
