Chapter 20: Harsh government is fiercer than tigers?
In the afternoon, Li Li sat in the pavilion to cut bamboo and made a "traditional toy" - the bamboo gang villain. Because he needed to cut it with a knife, he asked his sons to go out to play.
A few little guys rode off the horse on the charcoal (a kind of horde), walked around the pavilion, having fun, shouting and making a lot of noise.
Zu Yi, who entered the palace to report on the matter, saw that Li Li was busy with work, so he waited by the side and waited quietly, not allowing the eunuch to communicate.
Seeing several little princes having fun and looking happy, Zu Yi suddenly thought of the past.
Gao Wang (Gao Huan) has many sons, and the family was so lively back then.
However, King Gao has been busy with major issues outside and has no time to take care of too many housework. All the housework is under the control of the Lou family in the main room. Unfortunately, the Lou family neglected to discipline his sons.
Therefore, there are many conflicts among the legitimate and illegitimate brothers of the Gao family. If they are just ordinary families, at worst, the sons will split up when they grow up and will not interact with each other.
As a result, after the Gao family became the imperial family, there was no affection between the brothers.
Brother bullies brothers, uncle kills nephews, insults women's family, and the family is in chaos.
Zu Yi knew how unbearable he was, but he was still pale in comparison to the Gao brothers.
At least the women he plays with are all outside, so he didn't do anything to his relatives and relatives.
When his thoughts returned to reality, Zu Wei saw that Li Li often played with his sons, he found it very interesting: Maybe he was learning from Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan and trying to make the royal family affectionate.
However, Xiao Yan was constantly lenient with his sons and the royal family, and Li Li seemed not to be lenient with his sons.
But it is hard to say whether it will be lenient in the future. Moreover, this is a matter for the future. Zu Qi has a very important matter, so I will report it to Li Li now.
No, Li Li noticed that Zu Yi had arrived, so he summoned him over.
"Why are you solemn? What's wrong?" Li Li asked, and Zu Qi replied: "The storm is coming, and the birds and beasts are irritable."
"Sit." Li Li signaled Zu Yi to sit down. Zu Yi thanked him, sat down and said:
"Your Majesty, the Procuratorate Temple has come to an end, and the results are significant. The Procuratorate and the Procuratorate are about to begin. It will be implemented first in the Three Wus. Now, the Three Wus are undercurrents."
Li Li put down the knife and bamboo tube and clapped his hands: "What are the bad things? Let's listen."
Zu Yi replied: "The harsh government is more powerful than the tiger."

"This word is really deafening." Li Li smiled, not caring about it.
Zu Yi couldn't just come to report the rumors, so Li Li got to the point: "The next inspection of the registration and inspection of the territory will inevitably cause a storm. What suggestions do you have?"
"Your Majesty, it's better to lead the snake out of the hole, let the thorns jump out and cause trouble, and kill some people appropriately, so that things can continue to do it, just like setting fire to burn the wasteland."
This was Zu Yi's suggestion, and Li Li asked back: "Wu County... Oh, now it is Wuzhou, a state of Wu, there will be nearly 100,000 households in the company. If it starts to make trouble..."
"The people who don't know the truth are being bullied. I'm afraid there are not tens of thousands of people, but may also lead their families. This is not to lead a snake out of the hole, but to burn the body."
"Your Majesty, let the pustules be sent as soon as possible to squeeze them out. If they are always red and swollen and do not become suppurated, it will be really troublesome."
Li Li deliberately pretended to be stupid: "The problem is that the court can provoke some people to rebel, but after the chaos begins, when will the war end and whether the scope of influence is large or small, it will be no longer under the control of the court."
Zu Yi was not good at provoking such stupidity, so he said, "I have a plan to lure a snake out of the hole, but he will not throw himself into a mouse and be afraid of it..."
He actually wanted to say that it was better to "release bait and fish". Considering Li Li's background, he decided to pay attention to the words as much as possible to avoid causing Li Li's displeasure.
After all, once a person is rich, he is afraid of others mentioning his embarrassment when he was in a humble state, let alone becoming an emperor.
Li Li: "Actually, it's just fishing! When it comes to fishing, I'm so energetic. The problem now is that when the bait is released, the big fish just refuses to bite the hook. It just stirs up the splashes and instigates the small fish to swallow it."
"It may take several years for the little fish to retract, which makes the angler very depressed."
"So, it's better to add more ingredients and add a heavy-tasting bait so that the big fish can't hold it in, so they just pounce on it and bite the hook."
Li looked at Zu Yi and asked, "Tell me, what kind of heavy-flavored bait do you want to put on?"
"Your Majesty, I'm brave enough to ask Your Majesty to release the news and say that you want to select beauty pageants in the Sanwu area."
When Li Li heard this, he raised his eyebrows and complained in his heart: "This is such a fake news? Is your idea a bad idea?"
Even the old woman flirted with a strange man. The idea he came up with is such a weird one, it is really a crooked way!
But I just ascended the throne and became emperor less than a year ago, and I was in a hurry to choose a beauty?
Although it is news of a holiday, if I take it off, I might be confirmed as a fool?
After thinking about it, Li Li looked calm: he was rumored to be harsh and fiercer than tigers. Then, the stigma of "lustful and debauchery" seems to be pale in comparison.
Seeing that Li Li was not furious, Zu Yi continued, "Of course, in order to avoid affecting Your Majesty's reputation, this can only be a rumor spread everywhere, and no news can be heard from any official office."
"There is confidence in me, which makes the rumors spread so that the big fish are restless, and they think they can make trouble, and make trouble."
Li Li smiled: "This is considered an instigation crime, or it is fishing law enforcement!"
Zu Yi also smiled: "Food, color, and nature are all these two words that can stimulate ordinary people."
"Food is the most important thing for people. If you make a fuss about 'food', even if it's just fake news, once it is released, the consequences may be very serious..."
"Then, this rumor can be spread all over the place and avoid the real public resentment in various places."
"After all, the wives and daughters of ordinary people are not much better in appearance... there is nothing to worry about."
"On the contrary, those powerful families may have their daughters in their families be fair and beautiful. After hearing the news, they may not be able to sit still."
"Of course, there are many people who are willing to give their daughters so that they can ascend to heaven, but I'm afraid more families are unwilling to enter the palace with their sisters or daughters."
Li Li was a little suspicious of this: "Are you really sure? What if my reputation..."
Zu Yi expressed his opinion: "If things are screwed up, I am willing to bear all the consequences."
"How big are you, you can bear the consequences." Li Li smiled and waved his hand, "Forget it, I am doing it right and sitting upright, it doesn't matter how little rumors you make careful arrangements."
"Thank you for your trust!" Zu Qi once again stated that he would not joke about his future, but he did not dare to let Li Li's reputation be defamed like this.
The prosecution of the temple came to an end, and Zu Yi wanted to be Li Li's pawn again and must "incite crimes."
Let the three local tyrants who must oppose the procuratorate and the procuratorate, and jump out to make trouble.
Instead of now, the court announced that it was about to be prosecuted in the Sanwu area. After the inspection, it was silent, but secretly began to instigate the little fish and shrimp to cause trouble.
In the Sanwu area, there were indeed undercurrents. Zu Qi believed that he was not afraid of thieves stealing, but was afraid of thieves thinking about it.
Therefore, we must "induce" those local snakes who are extremely dissatisfied and jump out as soon as possible to cause trouble.
Only by cleaning up these people, the matters of procuring their identities and the local area can they be implemented.
Li Li carefully weighed the pros and cons and thought it was feasible.
Anyway, he is not popular with the gentry, and he will inevitably touch the interests of the landlords because of the procuratorial status and the procuratorial area, which leads these people to fabricate rumors and slander his reputation. Therefore, there is no more rumor.
Even if he started eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha's name from today, he was not close to women, and those hostile outside would definitely make up rumors that he "was several women at night, and his harem was overcrowded."
Although Li Li planned to use both soft and hard skills, while he was about to inspect his household registration and local area, he also announced the news that the examination and selection system will be trialed.
But according to his judgment, some people must not care about the opportunity to enter the government, but only care about whether their own land needs to be paid taxes.
After all, escaping rent and taxes has been the instinct of landlords for thousands of years.
Therefore, rumors of "harsh government is more powerful than tigers" have begun to emerge in the Sanwu area. With the formal implementation and deepening of the procuratorate, more rumors will inevitably appear.
These rumors may attack the court's policies, or attack him himself as "brutal and unruly", and there will be no good things anyway.
For example, because of the temple, there are rumors that it was because his order angered the Buddha that his mother died.
This kind of rumor does make Li Li feel annoyed, but it is not easy to "dispel the rumor".
Because the person who spreads rumors and spreads rumors actually does not care about the truth, the other party’s purpose is to slander him.
For this practice, the "official rumor refutation" has added fuel to the fire, which will only attract more people's attention and then spread even more outrageously.
Li Li did not intend to be serious about all kinds of rumors, because he was destined to offend many interest groups, so all kinds of rumors would inevitably fly everywhere.
Therefore, I don’t mind the extra “dewish” rumor.
However, who would care about the wailing and curse of the defeated dogs?
