The meeting at Daxingshan Temple ended with Yuchi Baoqi being embarrassed in front of his fiancée.

Fortunately, Mrs. Zheng did not tell the elders about the matter afterwards.

Yuchi Baoqi saved his face, but he had to go to the East Market early the next morning to queue up to buy mutton patties for the little culprit.

He couldn't help but look up at the sky, wanting to lament that life was not easy.

When they arrived at the school, the little kid had already gotten up early and rushed over for the mutton pie. He sat obediently in front of his little desk, patting the table absentmindedly with his two little hands.

Yuchi Baoqi put the fragrant and hot mutton cake into her hand, and the little kid immediately took a big bite.

"Uncle Yuchi is the best. Next time I see my beautiful aunt, Yuanyuan will help you!"

Yuchi Baoqi touched her little head and said to her heart that if I ask you to help me one more time, this marriage will be ruined.

"The turtles in the release pond were released by pilgrims. The master in the temple allows you to take them home and raise them. You can just keep them alive, but don't make a stew."

Yuan Yuan ate the cake and shook her head happily: "Xiao Wang is already Er Huang's good friend!!!"

At this time, in the Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin was discussing with the court officials the memorial from the disaster-stricken area in Shandong.

The summer has not passed half yet, the hottest period has not passed yet, and the people in various states in Shandong are already almost in despair.

Food prices are soaring and the people are starving to death, but the landlords and wealthy merchants have piles of food in their homes. There have been several cases of farmers organized to kill landlords, wealthy businessmen and seize grain.

If this is not handled properly, there may be an uprising in Shandong.

But should the people who are struggling to resist in dire straits like this use force to suppress them?

As Li Shimin's confidant, Yuchi Jingde stepped forward and said, "I am willing to lead troops to appease the victims."

Li Shimin agreed: "The priority is to appease, don't let the trouble amplify."

He said to the officials: "Today, we have few people and little food. Since I came to the throne, one thing has happened after another, and I don't even have time to breathe. I only hope that the emperor and his ministers will work together to overcome the difficulties."

"The country is stable and you are safe. If the country does not survive, where will you go?"

After leaving the court, Li Shimin summoned his ministers to Liangyi Palace to discuss affairs.

The main figure Yuchi Jingde, who was about to go to Shandong on business, ran away and did not return for a long time.

In the Hongwen Hall, Yu Shinan was teaching calligraphy to the students. He turned around and walked to the case, holding up his pen to demonstrate to everyone.

The old man raised his pen and waved it around a few times, and every time he mentioned it, it was his interpretation of various situations in the world.

Soon, a masterpiece with vigorous brushstrokes appeared.

Yu Shinan looked up calmly, only to find that the little kid in the last row who was listening carefully to the class just now was gone? ? ?

He closed his eyes and looked at it again, and found that it was indeed gone.

Yu Shinan's face darkened.

Yuan Yuanzai'er was pinched between his elbows by his second brother and ran wildly along the palace road.

The little kid waved his limbs and shouted "Hey, hey, hey".

When they arrived outside Liangyi Hall, Yuchi Jingde put down Yuan Yuan, with stars in the little guy's eyes.

Yuchi Jingde held her steady and asked seriously: "Have you remembered everything Aweng told you?"

Yuan Yuan clenched her fists and promised loudly: "Remember!!!"

She was a little dizzy and patted her little breasts at the little flowers on the roadside.

Yuchi Jingde straightened her little body up: "Then whether I can succeed in this errand depends on you!"

The big one and the small one gave each other a high-five, and entered the hall majestically.

When Li Shimin saw Yuchi Jingde coming with his adopted brother, he knew that he was going to cause trouble again.

He felt a little complicated for a moment.

Veteran minister Pei Ji frowned unconsciously: "Mr. Wu, important matters are being discussed here. What is your purpose in bringing Princess Yongchang here?"

He looked at Xiao Yu and Changsun Wuji, trying to get these two servants to speak in support of his words.

Xiao Yu stroked his beard and looked at the sky, while Changsun Wuji lowered his head and drank tea.

Yuan Yuan crossed her arms and looked at Pei Ji with a wrinkled face.

Just as he was about to speak, Pei Ji asked in a deep voice, "Is school at Hongwen Museum over?"

Yuan Yuan felt a little guilty and ran behind Yuchi Jingde, revealing half of her head to look at him.

Pei Ji was a little proud. He gave Yuchi Jingde a look and signaled him to take the little boy away quickly.

Yuchi Jingde pulled his little sworn brother out from behind and patted her on the shoulder: "It's okay. Someone will talk to Academician Yu."

Yuan Yuan nodded, ran forward again, held out her belly, and said loudly: "Pei Kongkong, I want to talk to your son!!!"

Pei Ji raised his eyebrows: "My son works in Bianzhou, how can I come to Chang'an to talk to you?"

Suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and his sharp eyes shot at Yuchi Jingde.

This reckless man actually had Bianzhou’s idea in mind! ! !

Yuan Yuan ran up to him with short legs, and Pei Ji quickly protected his beard.

The little boy patted him on the shoulder and said sincerely: "Pei Kongkong, please ask your son to hand over the food!"

Pei Ji was shocked and quickly stood up and saluted Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, my ministers are loyal to the court and will not dare to dispose of the grain stored in Bianzhou without permission. Please give me a clear warning."

His son, Lawyer Pei, was not only married to the eldest princess of Linhai, and was His Majesty's brother-in-law, but also held an important position as governor of Bianzhou, so he could not be stained.

Yuchi Jingde whispered: "Chief Pei is guarding the Bianzhou warehouse and neither takes in the refugees from Shandong nor releases food for disaster relief. If one side is suffering from drought, how can the neighboring state capitals just sit back and watch?"

He bowed to Li Shimin and said: "After the documents from the imperial court were issued, the state capitals near Shandong began to complain and cry about poverty. But Chen, the retainers of Su Guogong, Yi Guogong, and Feng Xianggong are all collecting grain in various places. Are there any surplus grains in each granary? I know clearly whether there is help or not."

Pei Ji was almost annoyed with this reckless man. There were so many state capitals around him, so why did they focus on Bianzhou to cause trouble for him?

Yuchi Jingde added: "Chief Pei lent me grain to resolve the chaos in Shandong. When we return, I will take the private warehouses of wealthy merchants in Shandong and return the grain to Bianzhou. How about that?"

Pei Ji glanced at Li Shimin and said nothing.

The other ministers drank tea silently and did not speak.

Yuan Yuan ran around in the hall, making faces at Fang Xuanling, and pulling Xiao Yu's beard.

Li Shimin waved to her, and the little boy ran over.

His Majesty the Emperor gathered the little cub into his arms: "What do you think should be done?"

Yuan Yuan and Yuchi Jingde looked at each other and nodded sharply: "Yes, yes, yes, my second brother is right!!!"

Li Shimin laughed.

"Qing Pei, imperial decrees are not child's play."

Pei Ji nodded in agreement. The court didn't say anything, so what were these guys doing?

He straightened his back again and became calm and relaxed.

Li Shimin added: "In that case, let the Zhongshu Province draft an order and send it to Bianzhou as quickly as possible. Send a letter to Wu Guogong and ask Lawyer Pei to cooperate well."

Pei Ji's face turned pale. The court wanted to attack Bianzhou. How would Pei behave in the court in the future?

Yuan Yuan quickly ran over and patted his back: "Pei Kongkong, don't cry."

Pei Ji's expression softened. After all, the little red man in front of His Majesty still cared about him, an old man.

The little boy smiled again: "My second brother has already said that if your son hands over the grain, you must also hand over the small money!!!"

"My second brother and I will go to your house for dinner at noon!!!"

Pei Ji rolled his eyes and fainted.
