Wang Ze looked at the seven or eight people sitting in the hall and asked, "Everyone, what do you think we should do now?"
He originally wanted to take the opportunity to attack Li Shimin's prestige, but he didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin showed up halfway, causing his plan to abort.
"I don't think there's a need to worry. The victims' problems are not that easy to solve. So what if the heating problem is solved? Those victims are homeless and need money from the court to feed them until next autumn harvest. The court doesn't have that much money at all." Cui Hao said calmly.
said.
Several other people nodded, agreeing with Cui Hao's statement.
"Having said that, this disaster relief will definitely enhance the royal family's prestige among the people." Wang Ze said.
Why is Li Shimin so afraid of the five surnames and Qi Wang?
On the one hand, it is because most of the scholars in the world come from aristocratic families. If they offend aristocratic families and all the officials of aristocratic families in the court sign away, then the entire court will fall into chaos.
One of the reasons is fame. The Five Surnames and Seven Hopes have a high reputation in the Tang Dynasty. If Li Shimin attacks them rashly, it will cause chaos in the world and the Tang Dynasty may fall apart. This is why Li Shimin is so afraid of them.
.
The increase in the prestige of the royal family among the people will certainly not be of any benefit to their family. This is why Wang Ze forced Li Shimin to issue an imperial edict in the early dynasty, and other families agreed.
"Don't worry, people are not afraid of not having hope. What they are most afraid of is that having hope turns into despair. They can solve the heating problem, but what will the victims eat? When a large number of people starve to death, this crime will definitely be blamed on the royal family.
." Cui Hao said coldly.
Wang Ze and several others' eyes lit up after hearing this.
"Haha, Brother Cui is right. When the royal family is powerless and the people exchange their children for food and complain, we will take action. Then the people will definitely be grateful to us." Lu Yuan said with a laugh.
What does the number of people who died have to do with their family?
A century-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family.
As long as they can prosper, they will not care about the life and death of the people. Anyway, the people are just like leeks, which grow again and again after being cut.
…
Li Tai came out of the study and said with a smile on his face: "Brother, your father has left this matter to us. We must do a good job and not let our father down.
"You know what you are doing, so don't bother Qingque." Li Chengqian said coldly.
Dai Zhou didn't seem to see it. He didn't want to get involved in the fight between the princes.
Lin Xuan sighed secretly, no wonder they say that the royal family has a heartless kiss. Now they are incompatible with each other, but they will still be able to do so in the future.
The group followed Li Chengqian to the East Palace and waited for his arrangements. After all, he was the person in charge designated by Li Shimin.
"Dai Shangshu, how do you think we should help the victims?" Li Chengqian asked.
"Back to Your Highness, the most important thing now is to solve the heating problem. As long as the heating problem is solved, everything else will be easy to deal with," Dai Zhou said.
Li Chengqian looked at Lin Xuan and asked: "Lin Xuan, you invented the stove, what do you think we should do now?"
Now was not the time to reminisce with Lin Xuan, so he deliberately pretended to meet Lin Xuan for the first time.
"Back to Your Highness, there are too many victims. If we produce the stove now, it will require too much and it will take too long. By the time the stove is finished, the victims will freeze to death."
One stove can keep several people warm, but there are so many victims. By the time the stove is built, the day lilies will be cold.
"What should we do?" Li Chengqian asked with a frown.
"Just use coal to burn the brazier for heating. As long as you pay attention to ventilation, you will be fine." Lin Xuan thought for a while and said.
"Okay, I'll tell people to notify the Ministry of Industry to send people back to mine coal."
Li Chengqian had been a prince for so many years, and he was still very vigorous and resolute in his work. He immediately arranged for someone to go to the Ministry of Works.
"Dai Shangshu, is there any news about the disaster situation around Chang'an?" Li Chengqian asked.
Dai Zhou said: "Your Highness, we have arranged for people to investigate, but there is no result yet."
Li Chengqian was silent for a while and said: "Dai Shangshu, go and do your work first. If anything happens, I will send someone to find you."
"Then I will retire first."
After Dai Zhou left, Li Chengqian looked at Lin Xuan and said with a smile: "Lin Xuan, how about accompanying me to see the victims?"
"This is exactly what I mean. Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you better come up with a solution." Lin Xuan nodded.
He felt very heavy when he heard that many people had died in the snow disaster.
I also want to see the living conditions of the victims and see if we can think of any way to help these poor people.
When Li Chengqian saw that Lin Xuan agreed, he stood up and left. As for Li Tai, he didn't even ask.
In front of Li Shimin, he did some work to prove himself, but in private he was too lazy to even do superficial work.
Lin Xuan shook his head secretly. No wonder Li Chengqian didn't become the emperor. Li Tai made him a little confused. The city was still too shallow.
However, Lin Xuan was not prepared to get involved in these matters. Since ancient times, princes have been fighting each other, and the loser has not had a good ending.
Both of these are losers, what is he getting involved with?
Lin Xuan bowed to Li Tai and quickly followed Li Chengqian.
Li Tai looked at Li Chengqian's leaving figure, sneered, and followed him.
It's impossible to leave him alone.
The guards of the East Palace are divided into the prince's left and right guards, the prince's left and right chief ministers, and the prince's left and right Qingdao guards. They are known as the six guards of the East Palace. Each of the guards leads 3 to 5 people. Among the ten guards of the East Palace, the prince's left and right guards lead the house. The prince
The left and right commanders in the palace do not control the soldiers. They are the personal soldiers directly under the prince's control and are directly controlled by him. There are about a thousand people in a military mansion, so the number of the six commanders in the East Palace is about 20,000 to 30,000.
However, most of the military power is in the hands of Li Shimin, and the number of people Li Chengqian can really control does not exceed 4,000.
Because he was going to visit the victims, Li Chengqian brought 500 Donggong Qingdao Sui.
It's not for show, just for safety.
Li Chengqian was in front, followed by Lin Xuan and Li Tai. Under the heavy protection of Qing Dao of the East Palace, the three of them headed outside Chang'an City.
Although people in Chang'an City clear the snow every day, the road was frozen and hard, making it impossible to ride a fast horse. It took more than an hour to get out of Chang'an City.
As soon as we arrived at the gathering point where the victims were resettled, the road was blocked.
"What are you doing? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, please get out of the way." The leader of the team shouted.
Li Chengqian was curious and rode forward. Upon seeing this, Li Tai and Lin Xuan quickly followed.
In order to prevent any unrest among the victims, soldiers were assigned to handle the resettlement sites.
As soon as they walked out of the temporarily set up gate, many soldiers armed with long guns and swords were on guard. Many carts were preparing to come out at the gate, blocking Li Chengqian's route.
Lin Xuan stepped forward and saw a scene he would never forget.
On the cart blocking the door, frozen corpses were piled on the cart.
Most of them were corpses of old people, children and women, all naked, and the bruises and bruises on the corpses looked particularly hideous.
Li Chengqian pointed at the corpses and asked sharply: "What's going on?"
The soldiers pushing the cart didn't know Li Chengqian at all, and no one answered for a while.
