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

Chapter 327

Just when Li Fu was explaining the firearms workshop and steel mill to Shen Lian, there was a sudden shock at the west wall of Chang'an City.

All the city walls within a hundred meters collapsed. As soon as this happened, the entire city of Chang'an was boiling.

Civil and military officials swarmed towards the collapsed city wall, especially the Ministry of Industry, from Shangshu to official mansions to sweep and clean, all of them gathered in front of the collapsed city wall.

Li Daliang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, almost collapsed on the spot when he saw the gap in the Chang'an city wall that looked like a row of teeth had been knocked out.

Li Shimin, who had just received the news, was about to collapse. He immediately set off from the palace and went straight to the scene of the incident.

On the way to the city wall where the accident occurred, Li Shimin did not forget to arrange someone to find Prince Li Fu, and asked Li Fu to go there quickly.

When Li Shimin arrived at the collapsed city wall and saw the mess everywhere, His Majesty the Tang Emperor's face darkened instantly.

"Li Daliang!"

The three words were almost squeezed out between the teeth. Li Daliang, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, heard Li Shimin summoning him, and hurried all the way to Li Shimin, and knelt down in front of Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry has already reported that the city wall here has been in disrepair for a long time. I will not forgive my sin, but I have tried my best!"

"What do you mean by trying your best? This is your best effort? Since it was submitted to the memorial, why didn't I know that the situation was so serious? What did you write in the memorial? Why don't I have any impression at all?"

Li Shimin spat furiously at Li Daliang, the spittle was like snowflakes, sprayed all over Li Daliang's head and face, but Li Daliang didn't even have the courage to wipe it off.

When Li Fu rushed to the scene, he happened to see this scene.

Originally, the prince of the Tang Dynasty wanted to go forward to check the collapse of the city wall, but he was grabbed by his cheap father-in-law.

"Prince, it's better not to go forward at this time!" Changsun Wuji tried his best to lower his voice, and peeked at Li Shimin, "Your Majesty is angry, it's better to wait for His Majesty to calm down before going over!"

Li Fu raised his brows, looked at Li Shimin who was still spitting at Li Daliang who was kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help shrugging his shoulders.

Li Shimin scolded more and more vigorously at this time, and he felt very reluctant, "You are lucky this time, no people are under pressure, if there are people, you Li Daliang will die a hundred times, a thousand times, it is not enough I vent my anger!"

Li Shimin started to scold him, but he kept poking Li Daliang's official hat with his fingers, and Li Daliang's official hat was instantly crooked, but Li Daliang knew he was guilty, so he still held his head deafly and didn't say a word.

Seeing this scene, Li Fu frowned slightly, and couldn't help but slander in his heart.

【What is this idiot Li Er doing?In front of so many people, who is showing such a big fire? 】

[The city wall has been in disrepair for a long time, and it is not a normal thing to collapse. Besides, it is not because there is no memorial beforehand, but because the ministries are pushing the blame, and the court has no money to repair it, which is why today's disaster happened. 】

[I really don't understand what kind of nameless karma he sent out. It's not Li Daliang's people who lost, but your own people too! 】

Hearing Li Fu's inner voice, Li Shimin finally calmed down a bit, but he was still angry, glaring at Li Daliang viciously, and thinking about how to vent his anger.

Li Fu really couldn't understand this time. Changsun Wuji seemed to be aware of Li Fu's doubts and quickly explained in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is unaware of something. The Lord of Gaochang has just sent a letter of credence to sever diplomatic relations with our dynasty. Drive away the Tang envoy stationed in Gaochang."

"Moreover, he cursed the Tang Dynasty in his credential, saying that His Majesty slaughtered his brothers, murdered his brothers, and attempted to usurp the throne, so he would be punished by God. He also cursed the Tang Dynasty that sooner or later, he would suffer retribution from God, and all the city walls would be destroyed by themselves..."

[Fuck, there is such a thing, no wonder Li Er is so angry, it's because of this! 】

[The Lord of Gaochang is so cruel that he dared to expose Li Er's scar. It seems that he is really tired of life. 】

【However, it’s been a long time. How could it be such a coincidence that Gaochang Kingdom just broke off diplomatic relations, and sent a curse letter, and the city wall collapsed. Li Daliang was scolded for nothing this time, and he deserved it! 】

"Xiu, from now on, repair it for me immediately, and I will see the repaired city wall tomorrow, otherwise you, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, will wait to apologize and commit suicide!" Li Shimin roared, saying the final conclusion.

Li Daliang looked at Li Shimin with a weeping face, but he still didn't dare to wipe the saliva all over his face, his whole body was not well.

Li Shimin actually asked him to repair such a long distance of the city wall in one day and one night, isn't it a joke?
Normally this level of damage, especially the damage to the walls of the capital of the Tang Dynasty, is impossible to repair within half a year, and this is the result of day and night rush work.

But if this is the case, Li Daliang dare not tell Li Shimin directly, otherwise he will definitely offend the emperor who is about to explode again.

But the problem is, Li Daliang really can't do it, he can only look for help to his immediate superior, the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, Mr. Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling's scalp is also numb at the moment, the younger brother is in trouble, as a big brother, he can't just ignore death, otherwise how can the younger brothers under him follow him in the future?
So Fang Xuanling pondered over and over again, and then slowly came to Li Shimin and cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, the collapse of the city wall was indeed caused by the Ministry of Industry's failure to handle its affairs. The entire Ministry of Industry cannot absolve themselves of the responsibility and should be severely punished."

"But Your Majesty, if you want to repair such a long section of the city wall in just one day and one night, I'm afraid it will be impossible!"

"You can't let the Ministry of Industry complete the repair of the city wall in order to evade responsibility, perfunctoryly, or casually complete the repair of the city wall. I'm afraid that the repaired city wall will become a greater hidden danger in the future!"

"Suo Yichen implores Your Majesty to give the Ministry of Industry some time, and I will personally supervise and repair the city wall!"

After listening to Fang Xuanling's words, Li Shimin finally came to his senses. He also regretted the angry words he just blurted out, knowing that he had gone too far.

This is no longer difficult for the strong, but forcing people to die, but as His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he has always said what he said, and now he needs a suitable step down, otherwise today's matter, really That's all I can do.

Li Shimin deliberately glanced at Li Fu, and then looked at Li Daliang.

His original intention was that Li Fu would help him talk together, and then Li Daliang would be convinced, so that he could borrow Po Xia Donkey to extend the construction period.

Unexpectedly, this Li Daliang is also a donkey. Seeing Fang Xuanling talking, Li Shimin didn't say a word, thinking that Li Shimin was targeting him, he suddenly became angry, and started yelling by himself.

"Your Majesty, don't talk about fooling around such a long section of the city wall. I'm afraid that even if the gods come, it will be difficult to repair such a big hole overnight. You should deal with the minister, and the minister is willing to accept the crime!"

As he said that, Li Daliang kowtowed to Li Shimin to the end, with a look of resignation to death, which stunned Li Shimin and everyone around him.
