Chapter 29 Wise Choice
Jing Yuan's expression suddenly became solemn. He stopped and said, "Don't he have many women in his harem?"
"There's not much left now." Xiao Tan lowered his head and said to Jing Yuan.
Jing Yuan immediately understood what Xiao Tan meant.
The tyrant always selects women to enter the palace, and every time there are many people, as long as they are a little more pretty, they will be selected into the palace.
However, after the tyrant selected them into the palace, he did not treat those women well. Almost every day, a woman was carried out of the palace sideways, and her death was so tragic that people could not bear to watch.
Jing Yuan also knew about the tyrant's presence in the harem. After hearing this, he would always remain silent and let Xiao Tan quietly bury the corpses thrown in mass graves.
"What is the reaction of the people now?" Jing Yuan asked.
"Now the people's reaction is very fierce, and there are also some literati among the people who are criticizing the tyrant with words and words, and their words are particularly sharp." Xiao Tan said with a hint of joy on his face.
This is how it should be, I'm afraid there won't be much time left sitting on the Dragon Throne.
"This is good." Jing Yuan's voice was slightly cold, and he said to Xiao Tan: "You are going to the people to find those dissatisfied people who are making trouble, and let them make the matter bigger and give the tyrant a headache.
"
"Yes." Xiao Tan agreed quickly. This was what Xiao Tan wanted to hear from Jing Yuan.
After receiving the order, Xiao Tan left here and went out to make trouble with the people.
Jing Yuan was walking alone in the yard, his fingers touched the ring on his thumb, and the ring turned gently. His expression was unpredictable, and no one knew what he was thinking at the moment.
Xiaotan's movements were still very fast. After he went out, he went to find the people. His whereabouts were very hidden and no one saw him.
Xiao Tan not only incited the people in one place, but also used his skills to go to many places around the capital to incite the excited people around him, making them even more excited.
After doing all this, Xiao Tan left quickly, returned to Prince Jing's Mansion, and told Jing Yuan the good news.
"We'll just wait and see how the tyrant solves this matter." The corner of Jing Yuan's mouth curled up, showing an evil taste.
The reason why a tyrant is called a tyrant is not for nothing. The only people who dared to call him a tyrant were Jing Yuan and Xiao Tan. But after Xiao Tan incited the people, more and more people called him
Now that the tyrant has become a tyrant, the respect and fear for him have become much less, and everyone is trying their best to resist the tyrant.
Because the uprisings and resistances were all launched near the capital, this incident quickly reached the ears of the tyrant. Naturally, this was the reaction of the ministers to the tyrant.
The ministers did not agree very much. They saw that the people were revolting, so they took the opportunity to say to the tyrant: "Why don't your Majesty cancel this policy? The people are too excited and may be resentful of your Majesty!"
But the tyrant would never listen. He didn't even look at the ministers and said, "What are their emotions and what do they have to do with me?"
When the tyrant said this, the expressions of the ministers changed, and they didn't know how to persuade the tyrant.
The tyrant is too stubborn, what should we do?
"But Your Majesty, the people are too excited. If this continues, it may threaten Your Majesty." One of the ministers said boldly.
The tyrant thought for a while and then said after a while: "Are the people excited? What's the point? Why not just let the officers and soldiers suppress it? If they don't obey, they will be killed directly!"
The tyrant seemed to dislike this topic very much. After speaking, he stood up and left the place.
The ministers looked at the tyrant leaving, and all of them were angry but dared not speak. They could only look at each other and keep their complaints to themselves.
Although this country has tyrants as emperors, as ministers, they are also responsible for the downfall and rise of this country.
However, after all, they are just ministers. In this era where the king has absolute power, many times, their words have no weight.
There is no way they can change what the tyrant has decided.
Using officers and soldiers to suppress people can be said to be a very bad method. Using officers and soldiers to suppress people will most likely make the people more agitated and angry, and nothing may happen in the end.
However, the decision to implement the new policy was made by the tyrant long ago, and it is absolutely impossible to change it. The tyrant was very satisfied with this policy, and even if all their ministers signed a letter, they could not change the tyrant's decision.
The ministers are all very worried, and everyone feels that if this continues, the country will definitely be destroyed.
The ministers sighed helplessly and walked out of the palace dejectedly.
A tyrant, indeed a tyrant.
What the people said was correct, but more ministers admired the people even more in their hearts. At least if they were allowed to say it, they would not dare to openly say that the emperor was a tyrant.
The common people are much braver than them.
The ministers were even more helpless. When they were in the court, the emperor didn't like them. Among the people, the people didn't like them either. They were really caught between the people and the emperor. They were not human beings. They didn't know what to do.
Is good.
The emperor cannot be offended, how can the common people be offended?
Facts have proved that the emperor cannot be offended, and the people cannot be offended either.
The group of people who were agitated and shouted loudly to resist did not get a satisfactory answer after the uprising. Instead, they saw the government sent a team of officers and soldiers. They were completely angered and they made it clear that
They felt that the imperial court really did not regard them as human beings, and actually sent officers and soldiers over despite their serious resistance. This made them want to rush into the palace and kill the tyrant.
The people were enraged and began to attack the officers and soldiers who were sent over. The number of those officers and soldiers was not as large as the people. Although they were well-trained, they could not resist the people and fled back after being beaten.
When this happened, the tyrant was hugging a delicate beauty who had just entered the palace, admiring the graceful dance of another beauty, the beautiful singing voice of a third beauty, and the exquisite playing skills of a fourth beauty.
The tyrant's eyes lingered on the faces and bodies of the four beauties. When he was feeling happy and carefree, a guard came to see him.
The tyrant didn't want to see her at first, but after the guards begged outside the door for a long time, the tyrant finally got up angrily, drove the four beauties away, and finally called the guards in.
"What's going on?" The tyrant slumped there and asked the guard.
The guard knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said, "The officers and soldiers went to suppress the irritable people, but the people were so excited that the officers and soldiers couldn't suppress them at all, and they were driven back in the end."
The guard said, and for a long time, the tyrant did not speak.
After a while, the tyrant said: "In this case, the people do not know how to praise, then let the officers and soldiers kill them. Anyone who resists will be killed! If one person resists, kill one person, and ten people will resist.
, just kill ten people, and if a hundred people resist, kill a hundred people. Do you understand?"
The guard knelt on the spot, listening to the dangerous voice of the tyrant. Knowing that the tyrant was already angry at this moment, he did not dare to say anything more and replied hastily: "I heard it." and quickly retreated.
Following Jing Yuan's instructions, Xiao Tan kept observing this matter. Seeing that the direction of the matter had aroused more and more resistance from the people, Xiao Tan was happy to see the outcome and went to see Jing Yuan happily.
However, on the way to find Jing Yuan, Xiao Tan met the eunuch sent by the tyrant to ask Jing Yuan to enter the palace.
After Xiaotan saw it, she walked towards the eunuch.
"Eunuch Li." Xiaotan smiled and called Eunuch Li.
Eunuch Li saw Xiao Tan and said politely to Xiao Tan, "It turns out to be Xiao Tan's guard. I was sent by your Majesty to summon the prince to the palace."
"Really?" Xiaotan raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "I'm afraid this won't work. Your Majesty, he was sick a few days ago."
"Your Majesty is sick?" Eunuch Li asked incredulously, his voice rising, and after a while he continued: "Since Your Majesty is sick, then I should go and see Your Majesty."
Xiaotan walked sideways to Eunuch Li and said to Eunuch Li: "Eunuch Li, are you sure you want to see the prince? The prince is very ill. Eunuch Li is not in good health. Don't let it get infected."
There was a threat in Xiao Tan's voice, and Eunuch Li heard it clearly. Eunuch Li's expression changed, and he immediately understood the meaning of Xiao Tan's words, so he said to Xiao Tan: "Since the prince is sick, and
If you are seriously ill, then I am afraid that you cannot go to the palace with me, so I will go back and report to the emperor."
When Xiaotan heard her satisfactory answer, she smiled and said respectfully to Eunuch Li: "Thank you, Eunuch Li."
Here, the officers and soldiers were sent to suppress the mob for the second time, but they did not listen to the tyrant. Even though the tyrant said that all those who resisted would be killed, the officers and soldiers could not bear it and did not take action in the end.
After all, they do not recognize the tyrant. They look at the people in front of them as if they see themselves. Moreover, among these people, there are some faces they know, and there must be no shortage of those among them.
They were relatives and friends among their officers and soldiers. So they did not kill them.
Xiao Tan also saw the opportunity correctly. When he saw that the officers and soldiers were reluctant to kill the people, he knew that it was time for him to appear.
At night, Xiao Tan went to the barracks, called everyone up, and told them the purpose of his coming here this time, and how cruel and unjust it was to obey the tyrant. They should not obey the tyrant anymore.
