I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

This is it.

……

A posthumous imperial edict instantly stirred up a thousand waves, which quickly spread to every inch of land in the Tang Dynasty with Chang'an as the center.

On the surface, this imperial edict was to posthumously confer an honor on Lu Jingsuo, and the words between the lines were filled with words praising his achievements.

However, in the eyes of officials in the court who were well aware of the situation, this was clearly a sharply worded declaration of war against the gentry of the world.

Every sentence and every word in the edict were like sharp arrows shot by Li Chengqian himself, clearly revealing to the world the unshakable idea deep in his heart - I am going to take action against the aristocratic families in the world!

This thought exploded in everyone's mind like thunder, shocking them into panic.

Different officials have different ideas about this.

This imperial edict was not just read out in the court; Li Chengqian was determined to announce it to the world.

He ordered Mr. Qi to publish the contents of the imperial edict in the newspaper.

It was spread through newspapers to those places in Shaanxi Province where there were newspaper offices.

Then, through the influence of Shaanxi Dao, the content of the newspaper was pushed to the ears of people all over the world.

Even ordinary people in Chang'an who were illiterate did not need to worry about missing this important news, because young students in Xianyang and other places, under the orders of the court, explained the news in detail to the people on the streets.

When the meaning of the imperial edict reached the ears of the people, they all showed expressions of applause on their faces.

The people are suffering so much! The exploitation of the wealthy and powerful families and the oppression of corrupt officials make it difficult for them to survive in this world.

No one would dislike a good official who stands up for the people and even loses his own life!

Fang Xuanling stood at the door of the prime minister's residence, his brows furrowed, and he looked worriedly at the two Jinyiwei at the door who were wearing flying fish uniforms and embroidered spring swords on their waists.

What worried him was not the existence of the two guards, but the situation before him that was like a runaway horse.

Your Majesty has made up his mind, but the dangers involved could tear the Tang Dynasty to pieces at any time.

Originally, the court was perfecting the new policy, and after the new policy came out, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

As long as we give it some more time, until the new policy is further improved and newspapers are implemented throughout the country, we can let newspapers play their role, so that the people can become literate and sensible, and break the monopoly of knowledge by the gentry.

The foundation of the family will naturally be shaken gradually in this silent change, and eventually collapse.

But Your Majesty issued such an imperial edict at this critical moment. It is like blowing a hole in a dam that has not yet been stabilized. If we are not careful, a flood will surge out, plunging the Tang Dynasty into a desperate situation of disintegration!

Thinking of this, a light suddenly flashed in Fang Xuanling's eyes.

Perhaps that person is the only one in the world who has the ability to make His Majesty change his mind.

Fang Xuanling no longer hesitated. He quickly walked back to his study, sat at the desk, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and began to write a letter.

Every stroke is filled with his expectations.

This letter may carry the fate of the Tang Dynasty!

Half a month later...

In the magnificent mansion of the Fanyang Lu family, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was almost suffocating.

The head of the Lu family, Lu Jingchuan, a middle-aged man over fifty years old with a dignified and stern face, was sitting upright on the armchair in the meeting hall, which symbolized the highest power of the family.

He held the copy of the imperial edict tightly in his hand, his knuckles turning white from the force, as if he was about to crush the thin paper.

Sitting around him were the core members of the Lu family - the elders, the heads of important branches, and the clan's think tanks, each of whom had a look of anger on his face.

"This is simply the act of a tyrant!"

Lu Jingchuan threw the news from Chang'an to the ground, stood up suddenly, with flames of anger burning in his eyes.
