Seeing that Zhu Zhen had made up his mind and all kinds of advice were useless at this moment, Pang Shigu was extremely anxious.

Everything happens for a reason, not out of thin air. Even if there is a strict investigation of traitors and defectors, it should be done secretly rather than in a big way.

The starting point for doing this is good, but he is more worried that some people will take the opportunity to exclude dissidents, causing chaos in the government and panic among people, which is not worth the gain...

"How should we resolve the situation when a crowd gathers outside the imperial city to seek peace?"

"Let the city guards go and expel them, and arrest and suppress them if necessary!"

Zhu Zhen said coldly: "Such a thing cannot be tolerated. It can only happen once and cannot happen again!"

"The inner court should send someone to inform you immediately."

Master Pang left and stopped talking.

We should give gentle advice, but what your Majesty said is reasonable, and his advice is useless.

Don't know why.

Since His Majesty came back from Daning, he has become a lot more extreme...

He asked the accompanying officials that His Majesty suffered such insults in Daning and that the journey back was not smooth. Perhaps his mood changed because of this.

Another reason is that His Majesty is under too much pressure.

Since coming back, he has been working on government affairs almost non-stop, which is a manifestation.

"Your Majesty, please don't be impatient. Running a country cannot be done in a hurry. The dragon body is important!"

Pang Shigu comforted him.

But Zhu Zhen didn't listen. He looked gloomy and gritted his teeth and said: "I will never let a second Lu Zhengyuan appear in Liang Kingdom..."

Heart disease also requires a heart medicine doctor.

He has no heart.

A large-scale investigation began in Liang State!

At this time, Zhu Zhen did not realize that this would aggravate the chaos in Liang State!

Bianjing is the capital of the Liang Kingdom and is quite famous even in the Central Plains. It is not as prosperous as Shengjing, the capital of the Wei Kingdom, but it exudes an ultimate sense of heaviness.

Bianjing City is very large and is divided into an inner city and an outer city. The inner city is also the imperial city.

At this moment, outside the inner city gate, many people gathered here.

They asked for remonstrance and peace!

Strictly speaking, this is not an act of transgression. When Emperor Wu of Liang was in power, he paid more attention to people's livelihood and more importantly to public opinion. He knew that the people's words could reach the heavens but were difficult to hear, so he installed a big drum outside the gate of the inner city.

This drum is called Jinghuang Drum.

As long as this drum is beaten, the emperor will come here to listen to the opinions and demands of the people.

Since the Jing Huanggu was placed here, it has only been sounded a handful of times, but now it is ringing.

There is more than one person who came to knock, from more than a dozen people to more than a hundred people, and now there are thousands of people, and the number continues to increase!

Someone behind Zhu Zhen's thoughts was completely imaginary, and it was completely spontaneous.

Under his tireless propaganda, the words "Emperor Daning" were enough to scare a child into tears.

How could they not be afraid when facing such people?

This is what His Majesty said himself.

Your Majesty has just returned from Daning, so what he said is definitely not a lie.

Fear, panic.

Bianjing was the capital of the Liang Kingdom, so those who could live here were naturally either rich or noble.

They cherish their lives more than ordinary people.

I once thought that the war would not affect Bianjing no matter what, but I no longer think so.

Seeking peace is the only way out.

Why the peace petition failed must be because His Majesty did not agree to the conditions proposed by Emperor Yuanwu.

He should agree.

Only by suing for peace can they guarantee their lives and preserve their wealth.

Zhu Zhen is actually right when he says there is an organization behind it.

First of all, these noble and influential families had such intention, and the people came under their arrangement...

However, this is not because they surrender to Daning, but because they are afraid.

The drum of surprise is beating, which means the emperor is coming in person.

But they did not wait for the emperor, but for the city guards.

expel, suppress.

The leader was arrested directly.

Under harsh measures, the gathering was quickly dispersed. After another half an hour, the palace decree came out that the Jinghuang Drum was established for the previous dynasty and this dynasty was the new dynasty, so they took the drum directly.

Not long after taking the drum, some court officials came to give advice.

Drums have special significance in court.

The late Emperor Liang Wu died while beating war drums.

Although Emperor Wu of Liang was very aggressive in military affairs, he still had a high prestige in the court. The Jinghuang Drum was established by the late emperor, so what's the harm if it is placed there?

Zhu Zhen didn't listen at all.

The admonishing courtiers did not wait for Zhu Zhen's reply, but instead waited for Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan holds the imperial edict and holds the emperor's sword.

Among the people in this remonstrance happened to be those who had previously remonstrated for peace at the court meeting.

Wang Yuan didn't listen at all and ordered the arrest directly.

Now he is in charge of carrying out orders and arresting those who are treasonous to the enemy. It can be said that he has great power.

He did not take the opportunity to exclude dissidents, but he had the idea of ​​casting a wide net to catch more fish.

Once you have started, you must achieve results.

There are so many people, just finding one of them is a great achievement!

Among the officials who gave the advice, there were many high-ranking and powerful people, including an imperial minister.

Wang Yuan still ordered the arrests.

Of course, the rhetoric he used was to cooperate with the investigation, and if he was innocent, he would be released soon.

These officials did not expect Wang Yuan to be so bold. They shouted loudly but received no response.

At this time, they were outside the Minghua Palace, which is where the inner court is located and where His Majesty works. His Majesty was naturally aware of what was happening, but still did not stop it... This was acquiescence.

"Take them all away!"

Wang Yuan shouted.

The people he appointed were members of the Kingsguard, and these were His Majesty's personal guards.

Even Wang Yuan did not expect that His Majesty would give him such great support.

He was also a little scared.

How should he explain this if he cannot find anyone suspected of collaborating with the enemy?
