His Royal Highness Prince Li has done good things, so of course we should praise him, so that he will be happy.
If people with meritorious deeds are not praised, it will appear that the common people are heartless and unjust, and he will be very disappointed."
the students said.
"No, people who really work for the country and the people won't care about this, and I believe King Li won't either.
Moreover, the water control this time was not the result of King Li alone. In addition to him, it was also the work of Princess Li, King Xian, and many people, soldiers and officials in Jiangzhou.
What you should be praising are all the people in the world, not King Li alone."
Chu Xuanchen said.
As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned.
"Are you saying that we should not only praise King Li, but also praise the people of the world?"
the students asked.
"Of course, and as Prince Li is a prince, he is a prince, but he can get this honor.
If these words reach the emperor's ears, what do you think the emperor will think?"
Chu Xuanchen directly stated the core.
When the students heard this, they suddenly understood.
Some immediately put down the pen in their hands, as if the pen was very hot, "This young man is right to remind us, we all did it wrong."
If we praise King Li like this, he will be held in high esteem. By then, if King Li's prestige exceeds that of the Emperor, then we will be harming him!"
"Yes, the lord of the world is most afraid of someone with great achievements. Not only did we not help King Li, but we were flattering him and killing him."
Some students threw away the paper and pen in their hands.
"Since ancient times, when the birds are gone, good bows are hidden; when the enemy's country is destroyed, the advisers perish.
His Royal Highness, King Li, has won the hearts of the people by controlling the floods this time, and his achievements have shocked the Lord. If we write poems to praise him again, we will really harm him!"
Someone whispered: "His Highness is not the Emperor's biological son, and the Emperor even killed His Highness's parents and took away the country that originally belonged to His Highness.
The Emperor is very afraid of His Highness, so for the sake of His Highness’s safety, we should not compose poems, and we also appeal to everyone to stop composing poems.”
"Yes, don't do anything about erecting a merit monument, lest it bring death to His Highness."
After hearing what everyone said, Chu Xuanchen was temporarily relieved, but he was still worried.
He can stop these people, but he cannot stop the people of the world.
Emperor Hongyuan has always been narrow-minded and suspicious by nature. If he were to know these things, he would definitely be furious.
He must make arrangements in advance to deal with the coming storm.
Fortunately, this time he eliminated all the corrupt officials in Jiangzhou, and all the vacant official positions in Jiangzhou were filled by Jiang Ning and others.
Jiang Ning sent someone to tell him that they had a lot of evidence of corrupt officials. They presented the evidence to the emperor, who then sent people to dismiss those corrupt officials.
As soon as the position became vacant, Jiang Ning and his men could only take over. In addition, Jiang Ning pretended to move closer to the emperor and surrendered, thus gaining the emperor's trust.
He now became the prefect of Jiangzhou and was temporarily in charge of Zhang Shifan's army.
His salary would no longer be withheld, and he regained control of the government.
Su Cheng, on the other hand, had already led his family and cooks back to his hometown to grow sweet potatoes!
.
A few days later, Chu Xuanchen was sorting out Zhang Qing’s case.
Mo Li walked into the study and said solemnly: "My lord, what you were worried about last time has become more and more intense.
Now people all over the world are praising you, students from all over the country are writing poems to praise you, and people in Jiangzhou are setting up merit monuments for you to record your merits.
This matter has developed in a strange direction, and the voices praising you are becoming more and more exaggerated."
