It's All Chaos, The Riot Under The Emperor's Feet!
"Milord, Milord, are you alright?"
Seeing Fang Xuanling fall to the side, the butler quickly rushed over and held him up, preventing him from falling.
Fang Xuanling's face was flushed red, and his entire body was trembling.
At this moment, his beard suddenly stood up.
He was both angry and sad."I told you, I told you that we can't suppress them. Those refugees are already on the verge of collapse. What's the difference between suppressing them now and sending them to hell? It would be strange if they didn't rebel!"
"But you didn't listen, you didn't listen! Now, tens of thousands of refugees are causing trouble and even killing their way out of the palace. Are you satisfied now? Is this what you call preserving your dignity?"
Fang Xuanling's heart ached. He was so angry. He had tried to dissuade Li Shimin, but neither did Zhangsun Wuji. This was what had caused this humiliating and dangerous scene!
A riot had erupted in the capital of the Great Tang beneath the Son of Heaven. If this news spread, what kind of joke would the surrounding countries make of it?
Moreover, if the news of the army suppressing the refugees and causing the refugees to riot spread, what would the refugees in other places think? How would they view the imperial court? How would they trust the imperial court?
The Great Tang's crisis of trust had arrived!
However, Fang Xuanling knew that there was no point in being angry now. He had to go to the Imperial Palace as soon as possible to find out how bad the situation was and then come up with a solution as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be really troublesome.
"Quick, quickly change this official's clothes…Forget it, we can't delay any longer, we'll enter the palace like this!”
Fang Xuanling pushed the butler away and rushed out of the mansion, gritting his teeth in the raging snowstorm.
A carriage from the palace was already waiting outside. Fang Xuanling didn't hesitate to get into the carriage. With the help of the charcoal stove in the carriage, he felt the coldness in his body dissipate a little.
He looked at his hands. It was only a short distance, but they were already red from the snowflakes. Such a snowstorm was really too terrifying.
At this moment, some noise came from afar.
Fang Xuanling lifted the curtain and looked outside. In the snowstorm, there were a few refugees fighting with some soldiers. However, the refugees had only rebelled in a panic and did not have any weapons in their hands, while the soldiers were using sharp weapons.
Therefore, there were no accidents in this battle. The soldiers did not hesitate to cut off the heads of the refugees. Blood splattered everywhere, dyeing the white blood that had just fallen to the ground scarlet.
Fang Xuanling's heart couldn't help but become heavier.
Along the way, he saw many corpses. Most of them were refugees, but there were also some soldiers. The entire Chang 'an City seemed to have become hell on earth.
All of this made Fang Xuanling extremely depressed.
After all, this was Chang 'an, the most prosperous place in the Great Tang, the only city that never slept. Who would have thought that such a prosperous city would become a living hell at this moment?
And the instigator of all this was the emperor who was high and mighty in the palace.
"Milord, we've arrived."
At this moment, the carriage came to a stop. The coachman's voice rang out, interrupting Fang Xuanling's thoughts.
Fang Xuanling got out of the carriage. He realized that the carriage was parked at the side door of the palace, not the main entrance.
"There are groups of refugees gathered at the main entrance, so it's not too safe," explained the coachman.”
Fang Xuanling nodded and entered the palace without saying anything.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Imperial Palace was very heavy. The palace maids and eunuchs who usually came and went were nowhere to be seen, but the armored Thousand Bull Guards kept appearing and rushing towards the main gate. They were probably going to deal with the rioters.
Fang Xuanling quickly walked to the main hall where the court usually held its court. Before he even entered the main hall, he could already hear the clanging sounds coming from inside. At the same time, Li Shiming's angry roars could be heard.
He tidied his clothes, took a deep breath, and entered the hall.
After entering the hall, he found that Zhangsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Gao Shilian and the others had already arrived. At this moment, the faces of these ministers were all very ugly. They stood there, facing Li Shiming's towering anger, with their heads lowered, not daring to say a word.
Li Shi Min kicked the table, his face twisted in anger.
"Who can tell me why it became like this? What? Who can tell me?"
"They're just some unruly people, just some unruly people. How dare they disobey my orders? How dare they rebel and cause trouble? They even killed their way to the Imperial Palace and even wanted to attack the Imperial Palace.”
"And what are you all doing? They were just some unruly people. How could they cause trouble? What were those guards doing? What were the soldiers stationed outside the city doing? They are about to rush to the palace and kill me, but you still want me to calm down? How can I calm down?？”
Li Shi Min threw the luminous pearl on the pillar to the ground and broke it. At this moment, he was extremely angry. He looked at the ministers who lowered their heads and kept quiet. He was so angry that he wanted to kill them all.
Both Zhangsun Wuji and Gao Shilian were trembling in fear. No one dared to say a word when Li Shimin was furious.
Especially Zhangsun Wuji. He knew very well why things had turned out this way. It was all because of Li Shiming's previous decision to suppress them. At that time, he had also supported Li Shiming and even told him that those unruly people were nothing. That was why Li Shiming was so relieved.
Therefore, he couldn't absolve himself of the blame for the riot, and he didn't dare to speak. He only hoped that Li Shiming would forget about him. After Li Shiming's anger passed, everything would be fine.
But…Murphy's Law told us that things would always develop in a worse direction.
"Zhangsun Wuji!"
Li Shiming's bloodshot eyes suddenly turned to Zhangsun Wuji. He gritted his teeth and said,"You, give me an explanation. Why is this happening?”
