Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 23 Li Chengqian's Anger

Li Fu opened his mouth and let out a big yawn, but couldn't hold back the yawn, causing the officials around him to stare blankly.

Everyone's impression of Li Fu changed just now, but his good impression disappeared in an instant as a result of his complete change!

Li Shimin didn't pay attention to Li Fu's yawn. He was still immersed in Li Fu's sentence just now. Every time he heard Li Fu say these four words, he felt a sense of ecstasy.

But this blissful feeling was quickly interrupted by Li Ji, "Your Majesty, the Northern Army reported that it is still snowing in Turkic. Our army has sent hundreds of scouts to investigate the terrain and climate of Turkic."

"According to His Majesty's previous instructions, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War made proper arrangements to send various relief supplies to Tuyuhun and Shiwei. Xue Yantuo's department already knew about it. According to reports from scouts, there have been movements in the Northland."

"Because of Tuyuhun and Shiwei, the Western Turks all want to make friends with our Tang Dynasty, so they are willing to help Datang attack Xue Yantuo's tribe!"

"Okay!" Li Shimin was overjoyed, "It seems that the group of wild dogs on the grassland will soon stage a dog-eat-dog drama."

Being able to get rid of the group of wild dogs on the grassland without spending a single soldier was naturally something Li Shimin liked to see.

Now we just wait for the right time to completely solve the problems on the grassland once and for all.

At this time, Fang Xuanling also came out and said: "Your Majesty, I have already taken care of the severe drought in Qinzhou."

"There are 98 officials involved in the case. They have all been handed over to Marble and are being tried and convicted by the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

"The disaster victims in Qinzhou have also been properly resettled, but the severe drought is so fierce that the food problem of the people in Qinzhou may not be fundamentally resolved in the short term."

"I predict that in the next three to five years, Qinzhou may not be able to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people on its own."

In ancient times, the solution to disaster relief was to send relief food to other states for disaster relief, but the effect of this kind of disaster relief was extremely limited.

After all, there will be some consumption during the transportation process, not to mention the current Datang, not only Qinzhou is affected by the disaster, but other states are barely self-sufficient, let alone helping the disaster area.

Cen Wenwen's eyes flickered, and he suddenly came out and said: "Your Majesty, I think that the promotion and planting of potatoes can be tried out in Qinzhou, so that the food problem of the people in Qinzhou can be solved easily!"

Cen Wenwen's words made Baiguan's eye sockets magnify, and Fang Xuanling couldn't help but look at the dozens of baskets of potatoes on the ground, and a light flashed in his worried eyes.

"Your Majesty, if the yield of potatoes can reach more than [-] catties per mu, then the food ration problem of the people in Qinzhou can be fundamentally solved."

"And the imperial court will be able to determine the national policy of Great Qin in the future based on Qinzhou's experimental breeding experience, and many problems will be easily solved!"

All the ministers agreed one after another. Everyone knew that if the rations of the people in Qinzhou were not resolved, there would be a lot of trouble.

Not to mention that Qinzhou borders Tubo, if there are so many hungry people in Qinzhou, if they take risks because of food, kill officials and rebel, and then be exploited by people with ulterior motives, the Tang Dynasty will definitely be in dire straits.

As long as the people have something to eat, they will never rebel. Qinzhou may even be able to create excess rations for Great Qin.

"Okay, the promotion of potato planting will start in Qinzhou." Li Shimin made a decision on the spot, then looked in Li Fu's direction, and said with a big smile, "King Zhao, you have made a great contribution to the country this time!"

The ministers all looked at Li Fu and were about to congratulate him, but their smiling faces soon froze.

At this time, Li Fu was no longer standing among the officials, but hid behind a pillar in the main hall and was dozing off at some unknown time, when the officials were suddenly struck by Li Fu.

Seeing this scene, Li Chengqian couldn't bear it any longer, and quickly came out of the line to cup his hands at Li Shimin and said, "Father, Li Fu actually dozed off in the early morning court. Severe punishment!"

Li Shimin glared at Li Chengqian angrily, he didn't want to hear Li Chengqian's voice at all now, thinking that his son might have a habit of cutting off his sleeves, Li Shimin was furious, and he dared to trouble Li Fu, he didn't know what to say!
Li Chengqian saw Li Shimin's eyes looking at him filled with raging anger, he was suddenly taken aback, and took a step back.

Li Chengqian's heart began to beat, he didn't know what happened, how could it cause such a big reaction from Li Shimin, he has been an honest man recently, and has never offended anyone, why Li Shimin can't get used to him today anyway?

Could it be that the father was bewitched by Li Fu, otherwise how could he see Li Fu sleeping in the hall, instead of getting angry at Li Fu, he would glare at himself?Double standards can't be like this!
At this time, Wei Zheng suddenly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Zhao must have worked too hard on civil affairs last night, and the court time is so early today, so he lost his composure."

"Probably King Zhao didn't do it on purpose, and His Majesty also said just now that King Zhao doesn't have to follow the court rules in the palace, so please forgive the crimes committed by King Zhao!"

Wei Zheng's words fit Li Shimin's thoughts, but what Wei Zheng said at this moment stunned the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

This was not how Wei Zheng treated Li Fu just now. He showed an attitude of not giving up until Li Fu was exiled for three thousand miles. The officials were still fresh in their minds. Why did it become like this in the blink of an eye? He actually spoke for Li Fu and even Blatantly exonerated Li Fu!
The ministers couldn't help but shake their heads. It was an eye-opener for everyone today, and they all couldn't understand everything in the court today.

Changsun Wuji saw this scene with a smile on his face, but he was worried in his heart.

According to the development of the current situation, Wei Zheng might have a good impression of Li Fu, and he might take refuge with the Tiance Mansion. If so, Li Fu's wings would gradually grow.

Looking at the innocent expression on the prince's face, Changsun Wuji had a headache. Taking advantage of Li Shimin's inattention, he quickly dragged Li Chengqian back, and never let go of his prince's official robe.

Li Chengqian had a face of reluctance to be dragged back, he clenched his teeth, his eyes were full of grief and indignation, he had been the prince for so long, and he had never been so aggrieved as he is today.

Li Chengqian clearly remembered that the first time he went to court, he was caught by Wei Zheng and told by Wei Zheng just because he did not follow the rules. Li Shimin then fined him a month's salary and made him copy "Book of Rites" ten times!
But now, it was the first time for Li Fu to go to court, and he would be tolerated if he didn't obey the rules. Li Shimin and Wei Zheng jointly protected Li Shimin and Wei Zheng when he slept in the court, and Li Chengqian almost went crazy.

"Come here, bring some clothes to King Zhao. Don't let him freeze." Li Shimin turned around and ordered the servant.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian's eyes widened, his throat rolled violently, and he could hardly hold back the blood rushing to his throat.
