Datang: My private money was exposed by Li Shimin

Wei Zheng stared at the refugees who couldn't see, and couldn't help but sweat on his forehead.

Originally there were only a few thousand refugees, but in the blink of an eye, [-] to [-] refugees came from all directions, rushing towards the palace together.

Although he temporarily dissuaded these people, they did not retreat.

Wei Zheng was full of doubts. He remembered the statistics yesterday, but there were only nearly [-] disaster victims. Why did so many suddenly appear today?

"Master Wei Zhengwei, you don't have to lie to us anymore. Everyone says that there is enough food in the capital, and His Majesty is a good emperor who loves the people like a son. He will definitely not starve us to death."

"But the little one is here, you don't care at all."

Among the crowd, a skinny and ragged man said timidly.

"Yes, it is!"

"The little old man is from Hedong, and I heard that the imperial court gave each of the disaster victims a hundred cash per day, so I came here!"

Everyone is chattering and listening to accents, and there are people from all over the world.

Wei Zheng understood in an instant that someone was playing tricks, it must be those nobles with five surnames and seven Wangs who incited these common people and took the opportunity to blackmail His Majesty.

"We don't ask for enough food and clothing, we just need to be able to barely survive, but now no one cares about us..."

Wei Zheng's whole body was drenched with sweat.

The entire imperial court was really helpless. Now that the grain reserves in the capital were getting less and less, they did not dare to let go of their hands and feet to help the disaster, and the Turkic people might arrive outside Chang'an in three days.

Now not only weapons, but also no food and grass to prepare for war.

Wei Zheng could only bite the bullet and continue.

"Don't get me wrong, the imperial court will not ignore you. Your Majesty and our officials are discussing countermeasures. I believe it will be resolved soon."

Everyone was outraged.

"Don't trust this dog official, he's full of nonsense!"

"The imperial court wished that we untouchables would all starve to death. They saved food."

As soon as a white-haired grandmother said this, everyone was ready to move again.

Wei Zheng said hurriedly.

"Everyone, I know that you are all naked, hungry, and homeless, but if you commit crimes like this and break the law, you will be sent to prison and punished!"

"Datang, Your Majesty, I and all my colleagues in the Manchu Dynasty are trying their best to solve your problems!"

"You are all citizens of Datang, we will never stand still!"

"You are all just for a bite to eat, and now you are taking risks. Not only may you go to jail, but you will also implicate your wife, children and others. Wouldn't it be a big mistake..."

Wei Zheng turned his head slightly, and looked towards the intersection not far behind him.

On each street, tens of thousands of Jinwu Guards and Yulin Army, dressed in armor, were guarding closely, all leading to the Daming Palace.

There is an army on the west side, Qin Qiong is dressed in military uniform and rides on a war horse.

He looked at the figures of Wei Zheng and the common people not far in front of him with serious eyes.

This is a lieutenant beside him muttering: "General, these rioters dare to plot evil, why don't they kill them, as long as they kill hundreds or thousands, the rest will surely fall apart."

Qin Qiong gave him a cold look. "Once the massacre starts, it will really get out of hand."

"The order will continue again. Without the order of this general, no one is allowed to harm the people. Anyone who dares to violate the order will be dealt with by military law!"

……

"Master Wei, why didn't the emperor come out to see us? He only sent you to deal with us alone?"

"Is he afraid to see us?"

Wei Zheng searched for the sound and saw an old man aged six to seventy, unkempt and skinny, almost a gust of wind could blow him down.

This time, the pan exploded again.

"Is the emperor afraid of us? Don't you dare to come out?"

The old man said again.

"I heard that it was because of the Emperor's 'Xuanwu Gate Change' that he killed his brother and seized the throne that did not belong to him, which angered God!"

"God's punishment fell on us! Is it true?"

The scene became a little commotion again.

Wei Zheng's expression changed drastically.

Ordinary people have no way of knowing the truth about this kind of court secret.

The intentions of these families are extremely vicious.

"These are all rumors, you can't believe it, Your Majesty and the brothers are brothers and sisters..." Wei Zheng said loudly.

The old man interrupted him loudly.

"We country bumpkins are not so easy to deceive!"

"The emperor committed crimes, why did God punish us?"

"Your Majesty is discussing a solution with others, and specially sent me to see you first!"

"Your Majesty said that in three more days, you will definitely be able to solve your problems completely, and ensure that everyone has a place to live, clothes to wear, enough to eat, and will never go hungry again!"

"You only give us three days, how about it?" Wei Zheng gritted his teeth, and could only give up.

If after three days, this matter cannot be resolved, I can only apologize with death.

There was a gleam of joy in everyone's eyes.

"Three days? Is this true?"

Wei Zheng forced a smile.

"Of course, you just wait for another three days, how about it?"

All the people looked at each other in blank dismay.

As long as there is a way to survive, they will never oppose the court.

Now hearing Wei Zheng's final promise, everyone's hearts are also loosened.

Everyone shouted happily: "Then wait another three days!"

"But within three days, you must not rob any property anymore. Today's matter, I can decide, let the past be ignored. But if you commit another crime in the future, you will never be forgiven lightly."

Wei Zheng looked at some robbed common people and said harshly.

He understands the principle of equal importance to kindness and power, and also knows that it is impossible for them to take out what they have obtained, so he just sent someone to control them...

East of Chang'an City.

An exceptionally luxurious mansion.

Dozens of middle-aged men with fat heads and big ears were chatting with each other.

Dozens of singers in the hall are dancing lightly.

These are all five surnames and Qiwang, the patriarchs of aristocratic families.

A fat man in a blue robe was the patriarch of the Li family in Longxi, Li Yuankai.

He raised his glass and laughed.

"Those refugees, have all gathered in front of the palace now?"

"I believe that before evening, Li Shimin will surrender to us."

Another man in a green robe with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks laughed.He is Lu Yaosun, the patriarch of the Fanyang Lu family.

"I heard that it has been stopped by the admonishing doctor Wei Zheng."

"This old man was originally Li Jiancheng's person, but now he has turned to Li Shimin, and he has become a loyal eagle dog."

"However, it doesn't matter anymore, it's just lingering, and, how long can the emperor last?"

Cui Guangquan, the head of the Boling clan in a white robe, said with a sneer, "The emperor was able to hold his breath and didn't kill innocent people indiscriminately. Would you like us to help him?"

Cui Guangcheng, head of Qinghe Cui clan, said: "Brother, don't you need it?"

"As long as we can force the emperor to submit, that's fine. If he's really stubborn, it's not too late for us to add fuel to the flames!"
