How serious was this matter? It forced Li Yan to write a letter, asking Yan Zhuang to take the lead in exploring who incited the people of the Tang Dynasty and gave them such great opinions on their new policies.

After Yan Zhuang received the task, he understood when he saw the letter. Although Li Wen was very angry, he was still very rational after all. He was actually more kind to let himself do this. Otherwise, if he did this blatantly, it would not be possible in the end.

Of course, the most important thing is that Li Qing did not think that this was something he had to solve, and of course it was not something that others would solve, but that this matter would not be solved at all.

However, since Yan Zhuang has been used, it is the attitude Li Yi wants to do. Some things you know are okay, but it is not that true if you say them.

According to Li Neng's statement to Yan Zhuang and Du Huangshang in the letter, although he was staying in the Tai Chi Palace, after the implementation of the new policy, he had been observing the entire Tang Dynasty's reaction to these two tax laws. However, according to Li Neng, overall, this matter is still developing in a good direction.

And Li Yan has clearly pointed out that the people have more discussions about the government affairs, which just reflects that the people's lives have become easier, so they just need to give the court a conclusion so that the officials in the court will not be so nervous.

With so many people in the Tang Dynasty, of course it is impossible for everyone to have the same thoughts, and the two tax laws cannot make the lives of every Tang people better.

So there is no problem with some complaints, but if such statements spread and there is no sign of fading this year, it means that someone is pushing behind this matter. Li Neng will always observe this matter in Chang'an City. If he really finds that someone is pushing behind this matter, Li Neng will investigate the matter himself.

With Li Neng's statement, Du Huangshang, who has always been the pioneer in the implementation of the new policy, gave up his snacks a little. He thought about it carefully and seemed that in addition to the people's recent complaints.

The prefects of various nearby prefectures and counties did not tell him any bad signs. Everyone should eat and drink, but their mouths were just a little bigger than before.

In fact, the officials in one ruling area all understand one truth in their minds, that is, the people do not care so much about the so-called new policy. As long as their food is enough and they have money, they will not really have any bad thoughts about the Tang Dynasty or Li Qing.

Sure enough, just next month when Li Neng's letter was in hand by Yan Zhuang, there was already a clear message from various places to Chang'an City that had basically disappeared. So, Li Neng's investigation this time was like this.

In fact, Li Qing just wrote a letter to Yan Zhuang for such a thing, and never took any action afterwards. He did not grasp that even a commoner was closely related to the fine traditions of the Tang Dynasty.

In the entire Tang Dynasty, only one documentary inquisition was recorded. Before Emperor Gaozong of Tang launched a war against Goryeo, a poet named Yuan Wanqing wrote a poem to greet the Goryeo people: The Tang army was about to invade, so hurry up and guard the natural danger of the Yalu River.

As a result, the Tang army retreated by the river. Yuan Wanqing's move was actually a treason and the crime was unforgivable. Emperor Gaozong of Tang did not ask his head to calm the public's anger, but only sent him to Lingnan to make trouble.

Soon, he was recruited back and given him an official position as a writer. Wu Zetian was indeed the one with the worst reputation among the monarchs of the Tang Dynasty, but he was also very free and generous to literati. Luo Binwang, one of the "Four Great Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty", once wrote a righteous and stern proclamation for the anti-Wu Zetian forces, directly denounced Wu Zetian as "the fox charming the master". After reading it, Wu Zetian just "chuckled". Not only did he not harm Luo Binwang, but he even cleared out the "Luo Binwang's counter-revolutionary group", but instead blamed the ministers, why did he not have the outstanding talents such as Luo Binwang to the court?!

Compared with the emperors in later generations who often chop people down, the Tang Dynasty monarchs had such graceful and elegant demeanor! They not only tolerate Luo Binwang, but also tolerate Li Bai, who had a distinct "will of independence and freedom": "I laughed to the sky and went out, how could we be weeds!", "How can we bend our eyebrows and serve the powerful and unhappy?", and Du Fu, who asked the people for their worries and not good news: "It is better to abandon the roadside than marrying a daughter and a husband!", "How can we have thousands of houses to shelter all the poor people in the world to be happy"...

The Tang Dynasty was a truly great country, so the people of the Tang Dynasty were more confident. Because of this confidence, they became more magnificent and broad-minded. They could speak casually. Even if they were not good at speaking properly, they offended the emperor. For example, Meng Haoran angered Emperor Xuanzong of Tang because he was "not talented and wise, and many sick and old friends were disgusted". He would not have a major disaster in the end and would not be an official. He was happy to "a beautiful woman abandoned her crown and lying on her white pine clouds" and was leisurely!

If you, Li Bai and Meng Haoran, dare to write this in another era, no matter how talent you have, you will cut off your head directly.

Besides, Bai Juyi dares to openly describe the love story between the emperor and the imperial concubine in his poems, which shows that the emperor really doesn't want to care about such things, and he really doesn't care about them.

In this way, not only did Li Qing calm down this matter with a letter, but it also showed the freedom of speech through this matter, which was a manifestation of the improvement of the quality of life of the people. Therefore, the environment of the Tang Dynasty became even more relaxed.

The freedom of speech was very important to Li Qing's opinion, but in the Tang Dynasty, the previous Tang Dynasty did not meet this condition. The imperial power and the officials who held the power made almost every citizen feel like they were stuck in their throats. So what Li Qing had to do now is to try to eliminate such situations as much as possible.

Li Neng no longer wanted to go into the situation before, but now, the Tang Dynasty under his rule is indeed developing in a good direction. In Li Neng's opinion, if even the people dare not say what they think in their hearts, even if the Tang Dynasty occupied the whole world, it would be useless. It was not a real dynasty, but an emperor's show for the sake of face and wasting the people and money.
