"Let's pass the order, let's run to the deep mountains, I can't afford to provoke him, can't I hide, someone will take care of him."
But he heard the news that many officials in Jiaozhou were dissatisfied with Wang Xiu's iron-blooded suppression, and they were complaining to the Tang Emperor, and he would have a good fruit at that time.
……
In the imperial city of Chang'an City, Li Shimin sat high on the dragon chair, but his face was full of sadness.
Recently, the memorials came like snowflakes. All of them were due to the severe drought in Guanzhong, which caused a sharp drop in food. Many places needed disaster relief.
Seeing that the memorials were almost all requests for disaster relief, he felt a headache. Where can he find so much food now, even if he is the emperor, he can't grab it.
The key is that there are still a few memorials in it, which claim that some places have already started to spread rumors, saying that it is because the emperor perverted and killed his brother and imprisoned his father, so he was punished by heaven so that it will not rain.
If this is used by someone with a heart, there will definitely be a riot, so he has to face up to this problem.
Li Shimin glanced at all the ministers, and said in a deep voice: "My dear friends, now there is a severe drought in Guanzhong, and the people are struggling to live. What countermeasures do you have?"
The officials below were silent for a while, and there was a hammer countermeasure. In this case, they had to open warehouses to release food. It was useless to talk about other things, after all, the victims of the disaster had to eat.
But once the warehouse is opened to release grain, it will be out of control. For how many people in the entire Guanzhong, the grain is completely a drop in the bucket, and it is not enough at all.
So no one dared to open this head.
"Auxiliary machine, do you have an idea?" Li Shimin looked at his absolute confidant, the eldest Sun Wuji, and asked expectantly.
Changsun Wuji had a big belly, and said with a dry smile: "Your Majesty, there is a severe drought in Guanzhong. Even if there is a ration distribution, there may not be so much food. It is not a long-term thing."
Li Shimin's face was a little ugly, and he looked at Fang Xuanling beside him.
"Xuan Ling, what do you think?"
Fang Xuanling glanced at all the officials, seeing that they were silent, he had to grit his teeth and say, "Your Majesty, I feel that food must be released. There are so many people in Guanzhong. Once the famine causes chaos, it will be out of control."
"Fang Xuanling, you put it lightly, where does so much food come from?"
"That's right, everyone knows that it's good to stock up on grain, but even if the granary is exhausted, it won't be able to feed so many people."
"I think Fang Xuanling is right. If there is no disaster relief, once someone with a heart provokes it, it will inevitably lead to a catastrophe."
"Hmph, what's the use of just being able to talk, but you can conjure food."
For a moment, the officials of the court directly quarreled, and the quarrel was so intense that Li Shimin's face turned black.
He looked at the officials of the Taishi Bureau on the side, and said in a concentrated voice: "Li Chunfeng, tell me when the severe drought in Guanzhong will end. Is there a turning point?"
The Taishi Bureau is under the command of the Secret Art Supervisor, and it is mainly responsible for astronomical predictions. It is in charge of Li Chunfeng, who is an expert in this field.
Li Chunfeng sighed, stood up from the crowd, and sighed: "Your Majesty, this severe drought is estimated to last for another month. Your Majesty should make preparations early."
"What, another month!" Li Shimin's eyes darkened, and he almost fell to the ground.
This drought will continue for another month, and there will be no grass in Guanzhong. It is no wonder that the people in Guanzhong do not rebel. No wonder it is really a punishment from heaven.
The rest of the ministers also looked ugly. If the disaster situation is not relieved, I am afraid that Datang will be in big trouble.
If one is not careful, it will be beyond redemption!
Chapter 10 Eight Hundred Miles Haste, Shocking the Court
At this moment, everyone suddenly heard a voice, and everyone's expressions changed drastically.
"Eight hundred miles urgently!"
Li Shimin stood up abruptly from the dragon chair, and said in a voiceless voice: "Damn it, could it be that a war broke out somewhere, and it took eight hundred miles to expedite it? This is really taking advantage of the fire!"
He almost gritted his teeth and said.
If someone invades Datang at this time, there will definitely be a big accident, and it may completely plunge Datang into war.
He pulled the eunuch beside him over, and said in a deep voice, "Quickly go and find out where this [-]-mile express came from, and bring it directly to me!"
He is now planning for the worst. If a war does break out, then he can only forcefully suppress the victims.But in this way, many years of operation will be ruined.
The eunuch didn't dare to hesitate, he just trotted towards the outside, to catch the urgent memorial of [-] li.
But the court couldn't help but talk about it.
"Damn it, to attack Datang at this time, could it be Tuyuhun again?"
"This fucking Fu Yun, I, Cheng Yaojin, will tear him alive."
"The house leak happens to be rainy and rainy. This time, Datang will be in serious trouble, and I'm afraid it will suffer heavy losses."
Everyone is worried. The double blow of war and famine is definitely not a joke. I hope Datang can survive this wave.
At this time the eunuch finally came back, and a few palace guards behind him came in panting carrying a large box.
"Your Majesty, this urgent memorial is from Jiaozhou!" The eunuch said directly, fearing that Li Shimin would be in a hurry.
Jiaozhou?
Everyone couldn't help looking at each other, what's there to fight in that place where the birds don't shit, isn't this nonsense.
Hou Junji couldn't help but sneered and said: "You bastard, what's worth urgently in Jiaozhou? I think the governor of Jiaozhou is making a fuss. No ghosts will come there."
Everyone nodded one after another. Jiaozhou is a poor and remote place. It is simply too ignorant to need to rush [-] li to do anything.
Although Hou Junji's words were harsh, there was some truth to it.
After Li Shimin heard Jiaozhou, he was also relieved, but he was at a loss, and said in a deep voice: "Jiaozhou, why did you spend [-] miles to rush? What the hell is the governor of Jiaozhou doing?"
The eunuch on one side explained: "Your Majesty, it is said that the governor of Jiaozhou got an auspicious piece, so he sent it over eight hundred li in a hurry."
Auspicious?
The veins on Li Shimin's forehead popped up, and he couldn't help but said angrily: "What kind of shit is Xiangrui? You are still doing this at this time. I don't think the governor of Jiaozhou is a good official. Pass down the order and demote the governor of Jiaozhou to a commoner, and he will never be able to live forever." Hired."
Lao Tzu is exhausted for food now, and you actually do some auspiciousness for flattery. What auspiciousness is useful now, it's all rubbish.
The eldest grandson Wuji at the front couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and sneered secretly: "Hmph, what else does the governor of Jiaozhou want to do to pat the emperor's horse auspiciously, now he pats it on the horse's leg."
It was Fang Xuanling who stood up.
"Your Majesty, the governor of Jiaozhou, Wang Xiu, is the son of the former governor, Wang Yuan, and he is still young. Please, for the sake of his father's hard work, please let the emperor forgive me."
"Son of Wang Yuan, I remembered that this governor was chosen by me personally. I didn't expect this kid to be so incompetent." Li Shimin's face looked a lot better, after all, he was still a young man.
Cheng Yaojin on the side couldn't help laughing and said: "Your Majesty, this young man Wang Xiu may not be able to stay in Jiaozhou, so I want the Emperor to change to a governor."
Hearing what Cheng Yaojin said, the expressions of the others changed drastically. If Wang Xiu was deposed by the emperor, wouldn't it be that he had to choose one of them to go to Jiaozhou again.
Fuck, I'm in big trouble now.
If Wang Xiu is added to this, there will be seven governors, and I don't want to be the eighth.
"Your Majesty, there may be another story about this matter, why don't you read what Wang Xiu wrote in the memorial."
"That's right, Wang Xiu is also a Zhongliang Empress after all, so he can't just be reduced to a commoner for no reason."
"Your Majesty, be careful."
Having said that, Li Shimin couldn't help but nodded, Jiaozhou was a mess, and he didn't want to bother about it, so he took the sealed memorial from the eunuch.
When he opened it, his eyes suddenly became bigger.
"The emperor kisses me!"
"The humble official Wang Xiu heard about the severe drought in Guanzhong. He was very worried and couldn't sleep at night. After searching through the information, he learned that there is a Pyu country in the neighboring country. The country's rice crops are three times a year. It is a country with a large amount of food. He sent people to investigate."
"The inquiry is true, but unfortunately the traffic is unfavorable and cannot be transported to Guanzhong."
"Blessed by the emperor, the emissary came across a magical item on the way, called sweet potato, which can satisfy hunger and survive. What's more, the yield per mu reaches [-] shi. With this item, the Tang Dynasty will never be short of food!"
"However, if the news leaks out, don't let Cai Kun collude with foreigners in an attempt to snatch the fetish and attack the governor's mansion of Jiaozhou. The minister is incompetent and escaped from death, but is seriously injured and bedridden. Please ask the emperor to send a capable person to replace him."
After reading a memorial, Li Shimin burst into tears, what is a loyal minister, this is a great loyal minister.
Because of the severe drought in Guanzhong, a courtier who was a hundred and eight thousand miles away from the governor of Jiaozhou actually sent people thousands of miles away to buy grain. This kind of loyalty is simply epic.
His loyalty moved the heavens, and he actually found a kind of sacred object called sweet potato, and the yield per mu reached [-] shi.
This shocked Li Shimin. If any of these two points were achieved, the drought could be saved.This boy Wang Xiu is really loyal.
But after seeing the last paragraph, his face suddenly became gloomy and cold.
boom!
"You bastard, a little Biejia dares to collude with other races to seize the fetish. It's not an exaggeration to die ten thousand times."
Such a loyal minister was seriously injured and bedridden because of this, and even the governor's mansion was beaten into it. This is simply insane.
Such thieves are really hateful.
Seeing that the emperor was so angry, the ministers below were beating their hearts. What did Wang Xiu write to make the emperor behave like this? Don't blame yourself.
On the contrary, Changsun Wuji's heart skipped a beat, because the emperor mentioned Biejia, Biejia in Jiaozhou is one of his people, so this guy couldn't be the one causing trouble.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, what happened in Jiaozhou that made the Emperor so angry?"
He has decided that if something happens to Cai Kun, he must put aside the relationship as soon as possible.
It is definitely not a small matter to make the emperor so angry.
Li Shimin waved his hand at the eunuch on the side, and said in a deep voice: "Pass on this memorial, and let them see what kind of rebellious ministers and thieves he is, who dares to murder my humerus minister!"
Lord of the Humerus?
Everyone couldn't help but gasp, this is not an ordinary evaluation, who in Jiaozhou can bear this name.
Chapter 11
Changsun Wuji was also taken aback, but after reading the memorial, he couldn't help but gasp.
"Damn, this is a big trouble!"
If this is true, Cai Kun really caused big trouble this time, and I'm afraid he might not be punished by the Nine Clans.
After the memorial was passed around, everyone couldn't help being amazed, because this memorial is the best choice for the current drought in Guanzhong.
"Oh my god, rice is grown three times a year in this Pyu country. No wonder Wang Xiu said they are a big food country."
"Three crops a year is equivalent to three times our grain. How can this feed the people?"
"If it's true, Wang Xiu can make a great contribution this time, but it's a pity that the transportation is inconvenient."
"There is also the sacred sweet potato that Wang Xiu mentioned. I am afraid that this thing is not simple. It is shocking to hear that it can produce thirty stones per mu."
"Bringing such a big box in just now, could it be that this god called Sweet Potato didn't succeed?"
At this time, there was no need for Li Shimin's orders, and several ministers quickly opened the box, and there was a box of sweet potato-like things lying in it, and the cultivation method of sweet potatoes was written on it.
The most important thing is that there is also a map inside, a route leading to Pyu country in the southwest direction!
It's actually true!
Fang Xuanling couldn't help but took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, if this sweet potato is really what Wang Xiu said, then Cai Kun can be divided into five horses to make atonement!"
If this sweet potato can really produce thirty shi per mu and can still satisfy hunger and survive, it will be a great auspicious auspiciousness, and it will be a guarantee that Datang will never be short of food again.
Cai Kun set his mind on Sweet Potato, and the crime was simply greater than the sky.
"Humph!"
Li Shimin snorted coldly, looked at the eunuch next to him, and said in a deep voice: "Bring the person who sent the letter in. I want to see how far Jiaozhou has come. Even the Governor's Mansion is not safe?"
He was furious that Wang Xiu was attacked even in the Dudu Mansion.
The Governor's Mansion represents the majesty of the imperial court. This is simply a heinous act that ignores the law.
Soon the sender brought it. Looking at the aloof emperor, the little official's feet were trembling. When had he seen such a battle?
"Little Zhangdan kowtowed to the emperor!"
Zhang Dan?
The corner of Li Shimin's mouth twitched, but there was no joke, and he said in a deep voice, "Zhang Dan, what's the situation in Jiaozhou? Why was the governor of Jiaozhou, Wang Xiu, attacked in the governor's mansion? Could it be that the huge governor's mansion can't even keep the base camp?"
"This..." Zhang Dan glanced at Li Shimin, but hesitated and didn't speak, as if he was struggling for something.
"Say!"
Li Shimin's voice became majestic, directly pressing on Zhang Dan.
Zhang Dan gritted his teeth and explained: "Forgive me, the emperor. Jiaozhou is originally located in a remote area, surrounded by foreign tribes. Many tribes are ignorant, so their behavior is barbaric."
