"The Emperor has a decree! If you have something to do, please report it early! If there is nothing to do, leave the court!" The sharp voice of the old eunuch in the morning court made people feel very uncomfortable, but everyone became more energetic because everyone knew that business was about to begin.
It's coming, so everyone has their ears perked up, as if they're waiting
What are you talking about! Today’s morning court is the first one after the New Year, but there is no smile on everyone’s face. They know that today’s matter is serious, and it is likely to affect many people. Those who have no ghosts in their hearts
They have the attitude of watching a good show, but those who have evil thoughts are secretly uneasy!
"I have this report!" Fang Xuanling's health was getting worse day by day at this time, and his body was a bit old. After becoming prime minister, he basically had to worry about the affairs of the whole country, which made Fang Xuanling even more exhausted mentally and physically. At this time,
Although Fang Xuanling's body was a little stooped, she still looked energetic. As Fang Xuanling stepped forward, everyone's hearts couldn't help but get excited, because they knew that business was about to begin!
"Ai Qing, please get up! Now that we have this memorial, let's talk about what's going on!" After Li Shimin saw Fang Xuanling coming out, the corners of his mouth twitched. It was obvious that he was also waiting for this! However,
When they really faced it, Li Shimin found it difficult to accept it. Maybe Li Shimin was also conflicted. On the one hand, the people suffered, but Li Shimin also found it difficult to accept it.
Shimin felt like his heart was twisting in a knife. On the other hand, Li Shimin didn't want to believe that this thing was true. But if this thing was true, who would have the courage to do this? Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help but glance back and forth in the Zichen Palace.
, finally his eyes fell on Li Tai. After a while, Li Shimin couldn't help but look at Fang Xuanling again!
Li Tai showed a calm look from the beginning to the end. It is difficult for people to believe that he did this. If it is really related to Li Tai, and his concentration is so overwhelming.
It’s really admirable. Li Yunfei stood at the head of the military ministers, looking at
God couldn't help but glanced at Li Tai back and forth. At this time, Li Yunfei gave people the impression that he was just an ordinary person, far less radiant than before, so Li Yunfei looked much worse than Li Tai, but
Li Yunfei didn't take it seriously.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! I have been notified by the governor of Yangzhou that there is a famine in Yangzhou at this time. The most important thing is that the weather this year is far colder than in previous years. Many people have died of starvation and freezing! Yangzhou... Yangzhou can now be said to have ten houses and nine empty houses.
Moreover, Yangzhou City was already covered by the plague at this time, and Yangzhou City was now closed and the prefect of Yangzhou declared himself the emperor.
If Ting Ruo doesn't rescue him, I'm afraid... I'm afraid Yangzhou City will become a dead city!" Although Fang Xuanling has seen the memorial several times, he was still sweating profusely when he read it out in front of all the civil and military officials today.
It is unimaginable that such a thing could happen in such a prosperous and prosperous place as Yangzhou.
"Bang!" Although Li Shimin had already received the information in advance, when he really knew it, his heart felt like a volcano erupted. He hit the dragon chair with a palm, and suddenly the dragon chair seemed to be beaten to pieces. This memorial should have been
It should have been passed to him a few months ago, but it was suppressed until now. This is because the Yangzhou prefect is really too stubborn.
It was difficult to control the reason for the continuous reporting. Li Shimin couldn't help but look at Li Tai. Li Shimin wanted to hear what his son would say, because Li Tai was still the governor of Yangzhou no matter how he said it.
Tai was somewhat involved, but Li Tai seemed unmoved, as if he didn't hear or see Li Shimin looking at him.
"See my father! I would like to ask my father to hand this matter over to my father. After all, Yangzhou was indeed managed by my father in the past, but my father did not expect that such a thing would happen after my father came to Beijing. I thought that this would happen."
The minister must take responsibility for the matter! Therefore, if the minister wants to return to Yangzhou to investigate the matter, he must find out the culprit and give justice to the people of Yangzhou." Li Tai finally came out after calling him for a long time. This is still a few times.
Almost most of the ministers were looking at him. They really couldn't explain it without saying something, so they came out like this. Everyone was looking at Li Tai. No one expected that Li Tai behaved like this.
It's so good, and the most amazing thing is that Li Tai's words completely shied away all his responsibilities, but if you think about it carefully, this is really the case. This incident happened within a few months after Li Tai came to Beijing.
"Boom! Wow!..." Li Tai's words can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone. All civil and military officials felt that Li Tai was really a responsible person. At the same time, they also habitually ruled out the possibility of Li Tai being the mastermind behind the scenes.
What Li Tai said is indeed reasonable. After all, these things have nothing to do with Li Tai. When Li Tai was in Yangzhou, nothing like this had ever happened. Now that Li Tai is in the capital, something happened in Yangzhou.
, no matter how you look at it, it is also a matter for local officials!
"Hmph! He's quite good at pretending! He is indeed a man who makes even Bai Hui afraid. He can surprise everyone with just this skill, right?" Li Yunfei will not accept this trick from Li Tai. Look,
When Li Tai looked so sincere, he actually snorted in his heart. At the same time, he couldn't help but recall Kawashima Momoe's evaluation of Li Tai. Now it seems that Kawashima Momoe was really putting it lightly.
"Oh!? In this case, this matter has nothing to do with Huang Er? But I heard that Huang Er's political performance in Yangzhou is also poor, and Yangzhou's output is also decreasing year by year. I wonder if Huang Er has this matter?" Li Shimin
Hearing Li Tai's words, his brows relaxed, and his eyes stared closely at Li Tai's eyes, as if he wanted to see through his son.
"It is true!" Li Tai admitted readily, but everyone took a breath of air-conditioning, especially those who belonged to Li Tai's party, and they were even more anxious around Li Tai, but Li Tai
Tai's appearance is neither slow nor slow. The emperor is really not in a hurry and the eunuch is!
"Then the emperor has nothing else to say? I think you must have your own reasons!?" Li Shimin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw Li Tai's look. He knew that Li Tai must have something else to say, so
Li Yunfei gave Li Tai this opportunity! In fact, Li Shimin still admired Li Tai's character. He had a way of doing big things, unlike some people who yelled at just trivial things, but they couldn't be helped by the soft mud.
wall.
"Father! My son has been in Yangzhou for several years. In the first few years, the weather was good and the harvest was good every year! But three years ago, severe drought and floods occurred. Since then, my son has organized people to build water conservancy projects, and this
This situation was more serious last year. Therefore, this situation will only appear in the past few years. Please ask my father to
Mingcha! If my father doesn’t believe it, he can call those officials from Yangzhou to ask if this is what he did!” When Li Tai heard Li Shimin’s words, he immediately shouted that he was wronged, and then spoke clearly and slowly,
It's really hard to believe that there really is such a prince who cares about the people.
"Your Majesty, get up and speak. I believe what you said is true! But what do you think of this matter?" Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction after hearing Li Tai's words, and then turned to Fang Xuanling.
After asking, Li Shimin knew that this matter had reached a critical moment.
To the point of tolerance, these officials have always reported good news but not bad news. After all, it is related to their political performance. But now that the Yangzhou magistrate has reported bad news to this extent, it must be that the matter has completely escaped his control, so it happened.
Such a thing!
"Your Majesty! I think this matter has reached a point where there is no need to delay. We can ask the states to mobilize grain and grass to support Yangzhou. However, this plague has yet to be discussed. We must not let the plague spread. If it spreads, it will cause panic among the people of the Tang Dynasty.
! Therefore, martial law must be implemented in Yangzhou, so that we can find a feasible way to control the plague.
If possible, try to control the plague as much as possible! Fortunately, it is winter now. If it were in summer, I am afraid it would have been uncontrollable!" Fang Xuanling heard Li Shimin's words and said quickly. He was indeed right. Now it is not only relief.
What’s more, there is also the plague that escapes from the wind. In this era, it is simply equated with a terminal illness!
"Love is reasonable! But where can we first procure so much food and grass to meet our urgent needs? The national treasury is not very rich now!" Li Shimin also nodded when he heard Fang Xuanling's words, but the most important thing now is
Eat the above. Adjusting grain and grass from various states is not the same
What happened overnight, but where is the solution to this urgent need? Everyone was silent! The civil and military officials in the court looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all speechless. They could not touch their upper lips to their lower lips.
So much food and grass came out that for a while you could almost hear a needle drop in Zichen Palace.
"Father! I can solve this early food crisis, but I'm afraid it can only be solved for a few days. Other food and grass must arrive as soon as possible! Otherwise, I will be powerless!" Li Yunfei saw that everyone was silent.
With a speechless look, he couldn't help but grit his teeth. When Cheng Yaojin stopped him and shook his head, he stood up, walked to the center and bowed down to Li Shimin.
"What!? Your Majesty, can you really solve the problem of food and grass ahead of time!? Prince, don't worry, as long as we can survive a few days, I guarantee that food and grass will arrive one after another, and the crisis in Yangzhou will be solved by then! But this plague...
..." When Li Shimin heard Li Yunfei's words, his eyes suddenly lit up. He felt that Li Yunfei was simply
Like a lucky star sent by God, Li Yunfei would step forward whenever he encountered difficulties, which Li Shimin liked very much! However, what Li Shimin didn't notice was that when he was talking to Li Yunfei, there was a sneer on Li Tai's lips.
, seems to be laughing at Li Yunfei's overestimation of his abilities!
