Xie Ji was looking at a local report, which said that the disadvantages of road construction far outweighed the benefits. First of all, the surrounding people quit, which seriously affected them.

In addition, some road sections need to pass through fields, seriously damaging the road sections. Many fields are on the road sections that need to be cultivated. As a result, food production will definitely decrease next year. When there is no food, the country will fall into chaos.

However, the people miss their homeland and refuse to leave. If we force them to move, wouldn't we lose the support of the people?

Xie Ji looked at it and put this document aside. Recently, officials have been going to the gate of Weiyang Palace to make trouble, all talking about the disadvantages of road construction.

Trying to bring the emperor back.

"Your Majesty, today's large-scale construction projects can only bring harm, but no good."

"May I ask Your Majesty, can building roads help people live and work in peace and contentment, increase food production, increase the national treasury, and make the sea and rivers clear? If it is possible, then naturally I will not object?"

"If Your Majesty is deceived by treacherous ministers and loses the hearts of the people in the world, then he is an independent man. In the end, an independent man will only have the reputation of a foolish king, a tyrant, and a mediocre king."

"..."

When the emperor saw these people scolding him as soon as they came in, he was naturally not in a good mood. Who wants to be pointed at and scolded?

"You say that I am a foolish king, a mediocre king, and a tyrant?"

It is simply contrary to nature. These people are becoming more and more bold. Is it because the lesson they received last time was not enough?

"Your Majesty is very talented, so naturally he would not dare to say that he is a coward. But if he is deceived by others, I will not know what it is."

"Take down all these people." The emperor was extremely angry after hearing these words, which clearly meant that he was a tyrant.

"The historians have all remembered it. I dare not comment on your majesty's merits and demerits, but future generations will definitely get justice."

Someone saw that the guards were about to take them down, so they revealed their last move.

Your Majesty is not afraid of the sky or the earth, so you must be afraid of the historian.

Your Majesty must know what kind of mark today's behavior will leave in the history books.

Moreover, they are admonishing Your Majesty today not to do such ridiculous things. They will definitely leave a mark in the history books, and future generations will definitely vindicate them.

What else do literati seek besides high-ranking officials and generous salaries?

Is that to leave a name for eternity?

In order to leave a name, of course one does not care about life or death.

The emperor was stunned and said: "Drive all these people out of Weiyang Palace. Don't let them in."

So, what was originally meant to be arresting people turned out to be driving them away.

The emperor looked at the internal history recording the events in the main hall and said, "Take what you have recorded and take a look."
