As soon as the prince entered the city gate, the people in the city were sensational. All the houses around the city gate were covered with people, and they rushed to see the prince's honor.

Although General Zeng Shen was not a member of the prince's family, he usually disagreed with what the prince did and felt that the prince was too idealistic. However, when he witnessed the prince's prestige among the people, the sound of the mountain and the prestige of the people who climbed high and all the people followed him, he really shook his heart and felt that he was worried.

General Zeng Shen was excited and stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Taiyang commander-in-chief Zeng Guang meets His Highness!"

Zhao Hanqing stared at General Zeng Shen with a stern look and scolded: "You ordered the arrow to be fired?"

General Zeng Shen immediately got sweaty on his back. How dare he take the blame? He immediately used the magical skill of snatching the blame and said, "I am just following orders. I also ask Your Highness to punish me!"

Although he is an old Qiu Ba and has a vulgar personality, General Zeng Shen is also an old man and is well versed in the rules of the game in the officialdom.

When the superiors seek to question the crime, if the culprit is conclusive, do not deny it blindly, but must not accept it as a whole.

While turning the blame on the prefect of the city, Lord Li Tianli, the prefect of the city, he begged for punishment to show his attitude of admitting guilt and giving in. Otherwise, if the prince thinks he is stubborn and resists stubbornly, he will be finished.

The prince indeed raised his head and swept away with a sharp look: "Who gave the order? Where is the prefect in the city?"

The people around him looked to the side in unison, but the prince saw a fat man with trembling and a look of earth standing not far away. The prince took two steps forward and asked sternly: "Did you ordered the arrow?"

The fat meat on Li's face twitched. He cried and looked at the master with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks on the side, and said tremblingly: "Yes, it's him..."

The prince was furious and angrily scolded: "You are the prefect of the city, the local parents, the eldest son! You actually obey a master in every word and action? How did you become an official?!"

The people who were listening outside were resentful. When they heard the prefect scolding, they immediately cheered loudly: "Good words!!"

For a moment, Yun Cong responded, and some people who lost their family and relatives and friends by the prefect ordered an arrow to be shot and shouted angrily: "Kill him!!"

This time, the people's emotions were instantly aroused, and the angry people roared and roared inside and out: "Kill him, kill him!"

Under the roars and shouts of nearly 100,000 people, the entire Taiyang City was shaking, and everyone's ears were roaring, as if countless thunder explosions, the air seemed to be trembling, and their internal organs were vibrated, and everything from their skin to their hair was trembling!

The prefect Li Tian knelt down tremblingly, his legs were incontinent, and his urine quickly flowed down the base of his legs to the ground. He shouted loudly: "Your Highness, your Highness, your Highness, your Highness! I have no choice but to do it!"

But he opened his mouth and shouted loudly. Even if he stood one meter away from him, he could only see him opening his mouth and could not hear what he was saying.

The prince was not complacent about such prestige and appeal. Instead, he glanced around with some vigilance because he instantly remembered what the Taifu, whom he respected the most, said.

"The people are like water, the best is like water, and the worst is also water; drive them to flow and flow, and gather them to be square and round, and they must be bound by control. Otherwise, water can carry boats and can also overturn the boats; those who are kings can drive the people, but not from the people!"

The translation means that ordinary people are like water. The one with the best moral character in the world is water, and the one that can cause the greatest destructive power in the world is also water.

The torrent in front of you is the best example.

And the flow of water like the common people will go wherever they drive them, and they must be controlled. Otherwise, if the common people do whatever they want, they will definitely overthrow you like a torrent. As a king, you should be good at driving your subjects, and not be kidnapped and driven by the will of the subjects.

At first, the prince did not agree with his teacher's words. After all, he grew up reading the saint's books. The saint said: The people are the most important, the country is the next, and the king is the least important.

The prince kept this in mind, and he went deep into the fields to live with the farmers under the guidance of the Taifu a long time ago, and understood their sufferings. Therefore, the prince has been compassionate since childhood and loved the people as much as his son.

But the current situation made the prince unprecedentedly wary, because the anger and roar of countless people formed an extremely terrifying and terrifying force, including the prince and Li Tian himself, who all felt that the person who ordered should be executed by stern chi.

But the prince is a high-ranking superior, and he needs to consider more things. This is also the overall view that the Taifu has been teaching him: he must never control his will by the will of the people.

Because the people are shallow and short-sighted, they only care about venting their emotions. They don’t care about what consequences will kill the prefect in one sentence.

Zhao Hanqing naturally knew that if the people shouted today that they killed the Lord of a City, would they also follow this example tomorrow and then climbed the high school and killed another high-ranking official and nobleman they hated?

Then if this is the case, wouldn’t the world be in chaos?

So what do you want them to do? What is the purpose of yamen runners? What is the purpose of officers and soldiers? What is the purpose of law?

The prince's expression frightened. He originally wanted to execute the prefect Li Tian on the spot, but after the public clamored, he immediately changed his mind: Li Tian cannot die, at least he cannot die at this time! As the crown prince of a country, he must not be held hostage by the will of the people!

The prince raised his hand high and made a downward posture. Everyone who saw his movement stopped at the same time. For a moment, the roaring sound between heaven and earth suddenly stopped. Taiyang City, which was still shaking in the sky and the earth, was so quiet that the needle could be heard!

All the officials around the prefect are in awe and admiration. Even if even His Majesty the Emperor is far inferior, only the national teacher Chang Yuan can compare with this prestige.

The prince whispered loudly: "Everyone, come back quickly, I will deal with it here! Those who commit crimes will never be spared easily. Those who are injured will be supported. Those who are dead will be collected and buried. Those who are widows and orphans will be raised!!"

The people were excited and burst into tears. They completely forgot about the fact that they wanted to kill Li Tian just now. They raised their hands and shouted, and even those who were inconvenient on the roof struggled to kneel down and bow down. Some of them shouted loudly: "Long live the prince, long live the prince!!"

The common people didn't think so much. Some people shouted, and they shouted: "Long live the prince, long live the prince!!"

For a time, all the officials in the city changed their colors! This is very disrespectful!!

There is only one person in the world who can shout long live, that is His Majesty the Emperor!

Although the prince is in charge of the country, he can only be called Qiansheng!

Even the prince's expression suddenly changed. He was a little frightened, but he didn't know how to refute it. He was surrounded by the boiling crowd, like an out-of-control boat.

Little Zhuzi, who was held high by Su Yuehan in the crowd, stretched his head to look at him, bent down and shouted loudly in Su Yuehan's ear: "Sister Yuehan, is that the Prince's Highness?"

Su Yuehan nodded and shouted: "That's it!!"

Xiao Zhuzi smiled and said, "He is so majestic!"

Su Yuehan touched her head pamperedly. Just as she was about to speak, the proprietress on the side immediately pulled her down and scolded him sternly: "Hurry up, kneel down!"

Xiao Zhuzi didn't know why she knelt down. Seeing that everyone around her knelt down, she kowtowed one after another, she kowtowed honestly, but she turned her head and said to her mother: "Mom, why should she kowtow?"

The boss's wife pressed Xiao Zhuzi's head and then said seriously: "Remember, that's His Highness the Crown Prince! Only he can let us live a good life in the future and let us go home again!"

Xiao Zhuzi understood this time. She suffered a lot along the way. Seeing that her parents suffered a lot, and even watching her like Sister Su, whom she liked, suffered more to protect herself. She immediately folded her hands together, respectfully, and bowed with a slight voice, saying: "The national master protects you, I wish the Crown Prince a long life, let your parents live a good life in the future, let Xiao Zhuzi eat delicious food, and let Sister Su marry a good man. Thank you!"

This childish prayer was drowned in the sound of the tsunami of the mountains and the seas, and no one heard it. Xiao Zhuzi bowed to the prince like everyone around him.
