News from All Over the World, Li Shi Min's Fear!
Fang Xuanling's voice echoed in the silent hall.
The officials lowered their heads. Li Shimin, whose eyes were bloodshot like a wounded wolf, also fell silent.
Fang Xuanling was the leader of the officials, and Li Shiming was the most reliable strategist. Even if Li Shiming was blinded by hatred, he still trusted Fang Xuanling.
Zhangsun Wuji said," Lord Fang, you are too pessimistic. These rioters are just refugees near Chang 'an. The refugees from other places are different from the refugees in Chang' an.”
"They didn't receive any porridge from Li Ke, nor were they obstructed by the Imperial Court. How could they be like these unruly people?”
" Moreover, the people of the Tang Empire are all loyal to the imperial court. As long as we explain the matter clearly and push all the blame to Li Ke, saying that these unruly people in Chang 'an rebelled because they were bewitched by Li Ke, the imperial court will only deal with it on its own and will never have any thoughts about other refugees.”
" If that's the case, I believe those refugees will not care about these unruly people of Chang 'an. They might even be angry because of this and think that these unruly people of Chang' an have insulted their name as refugees, so let-"
"Shut up!"
Before Zhangsun Wuji could finish, Fang Xuanling interrupted him.
"What?"
Zhangsun Wuji was stunned. This was the first time he had been interrupted while speaking. Furthermore, he was told to shut up. This was simply like slapping him in front of everyone. Zhangsun Wuji's expression instantly changed.
However, Fang Xuanling didn't care about that. He glared at Zhangsun Wuji and said angrily,""Zhangsun Wuji, you've already misled the country once. Are you going to do it a second time?”
"Do you know how miserable the refugees are now? Do you know that they're all living a life where there's no tomorrow? Do you know how important that bowl of porridge and kindness is to them?”
"No one knows whether Li Ke gave them porridge or not. Even if Li Ke did not, do you know what they will think when they know that Li Ke treated those refugees kindly but was stopped by the Imperial Court and then massacred by the Imperial Court?”
"The Imperial Court's disregard for them has already disappointed them and brought them to the brink of collapse. If news of the Imperial Court massacring all the refugees comes out now, they will only think that…the Imperial Court harbors deep malice towards them. The Imperial Court doesn't want them to live, so what will they do?”
Fang Xuanling's furious and cold voice resounded throughout the hall."The refugees in Chang 'an are the epitome of them. At that time, more than 900,000 refugees will revolt everywhere. The Great Tang…will really be finished!”
"Zhangsun Wuji, are you only going to stop after the Great Tang is destroyed?”Fang Xuanling roared again.
"I…I…"
Zhangsun Wuji's face turned ashen from Fang Xuanling's words. He wanted to refute, but he didn't know where to start.
Even Li Shi Min's expression changed drastically. He sat back down on his throne with a hesitant expression.
"That, Your Majesty…"
At this moment, a servant of the Menxia Province walked out in fear.
" Your Majesty," he gulped and said," the Menxia Province has received some reports from various places today. They haven't had time to submit them to Your Majesty yet. During the screening of the Menxia Province, I discovered…"
His face was pale and his entire body was trembling. He said,"I found that not only Chang 'an, but also Yangzhou, Yunzhou, Suzhou, Shizhou, and many other places in the Tang Empire, especially the places where refugees gather, are giving out porridge. And the people giving out porridge are said to be…Li Ke.”
"Some local officials received the imperial notice and knew that Li Ke was a criminal, so they all stopped him. Because of this…because of this, they had some conflicts with the refugees…"
Boom!
The words of the provincial attendant were like a huge stick, suddenly hitting the heads of everyone in the hall.
Everyone felt dizzy and saw stars. Their ears kept buzzing and their minds were blank.
At this moment, their hands and feet were cold.
Zhangsun Wuji almost fell to the ground. His eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost.
Although Fang Xuanling's words were shocking, they were only his guesses. Things might not be that serious, so no one was too worried.
But now, the reports from all over the world had proven Fang Xuanling's words and his guesses with their actions.
Then…if Fang Xuanling's words were true, the Great Tang was truly in trouble.
They were about to face an unprecedented predicament.
All of this terrified them to the extreme.
They thought about what would happen to the Great Tang if the 900,000 refugees were really forced to rebel.
Would they still be able to live a luxurious life like now?
Li Shi Min's heart sank, as if his heart had sunk to the bottom of the valley. At the same time, a cold air rushed into his head, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
At this moment, Li Shi Min finally regained some of his rationality under the stimulation of the endless coldness.
He finally realized that he had been possessed. If he had really made that decision, then the Great Tang would have been destroyed by him!
All of this made his heart turn cold, and he was extremely afraid.
At the same time, his hatred for Li Ke was also increasing. This was because all of this was because of Li Ke. If it wasn't for Li Ke's good deeds, how could he have almost destroyed the country!
All of this was Li Ke's fault.
Therefore, he wanted to cut Li Ke into pieces!
"Your Majesty, do you still want to continue slaughtering the refugees?”
Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shiming and asked again.
