Chapter 1174, Your Highness, This is My Home
This gift, I bow deeply in acknowledgement.
After three breaths, Li Chen stood up straight.
He addressed all the people in a gentle voice: "There are many things in the world, as numerous as the stars. My ability alone is insufficient to mend the heavens, but I can guarantee that those who are seen together will be investigated together, and anyone who is seen killing another will be killed."
“By imperial decree, from this day forward, everyone from princes and generals to commoners, anyone who encounters injustice, corrupt officials, or those who oppress the people, and have nowhere to file a complaint, can go to the East Palace to petition. All officials throughout the land must allow them passage; anyone who obstructs them will be executed.”
This edict, proclaimed throughout the land, takes effect immediately.
As soon as his words fell, Chen Tong and the others kneeling behind him simultaneously bowed and said in unison, "Your subjects obey your command."
From among the common people, thunderous cheers erupted.
Someone choked back sobs and cried out, “Your Majesty! Our Great Qin has finally been graced with a wise ruler!”
"The prince is so virtuous, the blessing of my Great Qin, the blessing of the people of my Great Qin!"
Li Chen waved his hand, motioning for Wan Jiaojiao and Liu Sichun to follow, leading them away.
No one tried to stop him, nor did anyone try to dissuade him.
They all know the Crown Prince is very busy, and appearing here already a miracle. How can they ask for more?
Wherever Li Chen went, the people would instinctively part ways to let him pass, their eyes shining with eager anticipation.
In those eyes, there was a little less fear and a little more admiration.
This perfectly illustrates the saying, "Justice lies in the hearts of the people."
The common people are never foolish. They know who is good to them and who is not, who they should support, and who they should oppose.
Outside the door of Mi Xing, Hu Pi, who had knelt on the ground and couldn't get up, closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.
He saw more than the ordinary people did.
After this move, no matter what happened elsewhere, Li Chen's status in the hearts of the people in the capital was unshakeable.
The key is that word of mouth spreads and can have a snowball effect.

"The Qin Dynasty has been passed down for more than three hundred years. Who was the previous emperor who could be cheered by the people like this? It was the founding emperor!"
"Anyone, even the humblest peasant, can petition the Eastern Palace. No government official is allowed to stop them...Impressive! Truly impressive!"
Thinking about this, Hu Pi could only feel that his family's lives were being used by Li Chen to buy the hearts and minds of the people. It was truly a worthwhile bargain.
Passing through the thunderous applause, Li Chen's heart was unbelievably heavy.
Until they walked two streets away, Li Chen suddenly turned his head to Liu Sicun and said, "What do you think of today's events?"
Liu Sichun was taken aback.
Before answering this question, she definitely needed to figure out what "how" Li Chen was asking about.
Is this the processing result? <<<

Is it still the nature of this matter?
Li Sicun, with his quick wit, came up with many ideas in a very short time, but immediately dismissed them one by one.
Identifying with her own position, Liu Sicun felt that Li Chen asked her this question because he needed an answer from someone who was positioned beside him but not like him.
This position is the people's position.
Li Chen is surrounded by talented and intelligent people, but he lacks one thing: ordinary people who live everyday lives.
After a brief moment of thought, Liu Sichun replied: "Your Highness, at the very least, you are fundamentally different from other monarchs."
Li Chen laughed and said, "Does this count as flattery?"
"It doesn't matter, it comes from the heart."
Liu Sichun said seriously: “At least I can see the hope of the Qin Empire returning to its peak on your Highness.”
Waving his hand, Li Chen sighed: "The task is heavy and the road is long. A thousand-mile journey starts with a single step."
Liu Sichun saw that Li Chen's brows were tightly locked, as if he had heavy matters on his mind. She suddenly said, "Your Highness, my home is just ahead. Since we've come this far, why not stop by for a while?"
