......

Li Shimin issued an edict with iron and blood, vowing to veto the imperial examination and take it back to himself, which caused a thousand waves in the court.

Move

It not only represents that Li Shimin completely stands on the opposite side of the five surnames and seven hopes,

At the same time, it also means that Li Shimin will not compromise with the five surnames and seven hopes in this disaster relief matter, and even in many future matters.

The behemoth of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes Group has become unprecedentedly unanimous, and since they already know the determination of the Li Tang royal family, then confrontation is inevitable!

One by one, they rubbed their hands with each other, grinning their teeth, shouting, to see how Li Shimin swallowed this bitter water again.

"Something!"

"They Li Tang royal family number dictionary forgot their ancestors!"

"Hmph, self-study of "Clan Chronicles", and also regard the Li Tang royal family as the first class, it is shameless......"

“.....”

For them, they are the wealthy families of the noble family, and the rise and fall of imperial power is just a tool to change the rule.......

Think about the beginning, how was Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty?

What about the Yuwen family?

Think that at the beginning, your Li clan was just a tool of rule that we elected, and now you want to move us when your wings are hard?

If we can push you out as royal, we can pull you down.

Look!

At that time, your Li Tang royal family will still have to come to us obediently......

......

The court was stormy, and it seemed that even the weather had been affected.

On this day, the sky in Chang'an was gloomy as ink

Suddenly a strong wind blew on the streets of Chang'an, followed by hail.

The hailstones were as big as fists and fell to the ground

For a time, the house collapsed, and there were casualties

As a result, rumors spread in the streets.

"First there was a locust plague on the grassland, a flood in the Yellow River, and now even Chang'an has been hit by this kind of natural disaster, this is a warning from heaven!"

"Only when the ruler values virtue and follows the will of heaven can he bless the people, otherwise he will suffer from the curse of heaven and harm the people, and the people of the world can have a sense of awe and fear of karma, so that they can restrain themselves in their hearts and extend the country."

"The Son of Heaven abides by the constraints of heaven, it must be Your Majesty's arrogance, and the heavens will send natural disasters to punish us!"

"It must be like this, Your Majesty wants to repent of himself, is there something wrong with himself?"

"All this is the result of offending Tianhe, and it is extremely necessary to change course, implement benevolent government, and take back the destiny."

"Your Majesty, you have to reflect on my body......"

Some officials even admonished Li Shimin, asking the emperor to ask himself and issue an "edict for his own crimes"

was so angry that Li Shimin's lungs were about to explode

dropped several sets of tea bowls in succession, but it was difficult to calm the anger in my heart.

I can't wait to drag these protégés with five surnames and seven hopes to be cut directly.

.....

Following

On the Tai Chi Temple

The deliberations continued from the morning until the palm of the lamp

While the imperial court was in a mud when raising food for disaster relief, bad news continued to come.

In the north, Niu Jinda came with a secret music

It was found that the nomads on the steppe had gathered and plundered southward, and although the culprits had been beheaded, more and more people were gathered, and it was difficult to put an end to them.

The states and counties of the Yellow River Road are also full of bad luck

Especially in Henan Province, there is hunger everywhere, and I heard that there are still hungry people who intend to rebel......

Even in Chang'an, the security after the heavy rain and hail has become extremely poor.

Food prices are skyrocketing, and people are scrambling for food.

The high gates of the scholar clan closed their doors one by one, and the rich grain merchants hoarded their mouths full of benevolence and morality, and looked at the lives of the people coldly.

Seeing the victims of the Tang Dynasty dying and struggling, for Li Shimin, it was like a boning knife, cutting his heart.

Li Shimin threw all these secret reports and the notes of the advice to the ground......

"What about the grain? So much food has been raised for so long? ”

"What do you think you're going to eat? Isn't your conscience painful as the victims die one by one? I don't care what method you use, within five days, you must get the food in place......"

Li Shimin's forehead was bruised, and his low roar spread far away.

Wei Zheng, eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and other ministers had sad faces, and they didn't dare to make a sound.

The methods that can be used have been tried, but the five surnames and the seven wangyang are against the yin, and those grain merchants and rich men are waiting for the price to sell, what can they do?

Not to mention the food for disaster relief, even the Taicang Grain Depot, which maintains Chang'an's daily life, began to run out of food at this time.

Above the main hall, the atmosphere is as gloomy as heavy water that makes it difficult to breathe!

They are also helpless!

Your sister's! Wasn't it ruthless when the edict was issued yesterday?

Why don't you think about it?

Even if you want to reform the imperial examination, it will come gradually, and you will do this, making it very difficult for us courtiers!

What to do?

What the hell knows?

I'm afraid that even if Your Majesty licks your face and goes to the five surnamed and Qiwang to borrow food, it is estimated that it will not be easy!

The ministers also looked at each other, and could only sigh helplessly.

Among the ministers, only the eldest grandson Wuji lowered his head and had no expression, he knew what Li Er was thinking in his heart, but even so, he still felt that it was very unwise to break with the five surnames and Qiwang at this time.

In the end, I am afraid that it will be the imperial power of Li Tang that suffers!

As the eldest grandson Wuji thought

The reason why Li Shimin issued an edict to reform the imperial examination also had his own considerations

This struggle is a process of wrestling between the two sides.

Disaster relief needs food, but the economy is all monopolized by the five surnames and seven wangs, so he must have a weight in his hand to wrestle with the five surnames and seven hopes

In Li Shimin's view, the reform of the imperial examination is the weight in his hand, disaster relief and the imperial examination, and the "five surnames and seven hopes" must always compromise on one side!

His original intention was to think that "five surnames and seven hopes" could eat goodbye in the face of national disasters, so ugly!

But I didn't expect that there was a natural disaster like hail in Chang'an.

The edict of the imperial examination reform became his own immorality and perverse behavior under the pen of the scholars and officials......

All of his calculations were disrupted at once.

Half a day

"Go back, all of you!"

Li Shimin let go of his white knuckles and said weakly.

It's bitter in the mouth!

Just then, the guard at the door walked in.

"Your Majesty, Princess Gaoyang is here!"

"What is she doing again? Let her go back, I don't have time to see her. ”

At this time, Gao Yang, who was waiting outside the palace gate, kept pacing, tiptoeing to look inside the hall from time to time.

She's in a hurry!

Because this time, it was not only her who came, but also Qin Shou.

Originally, she was going to come alone, but Qin Shou had to come with her to visit her anyway. He even bluntly said that as a son-in-law, he didn't even go to the door of his father-in-law, is he worthy of his father-in-law's trust? Is it worthy of your conscience?

This scared Gao Yang a lot.

In the end, she really had no tricks, and led Qin Shou to a mansion she had bought before, and lied to Qin Shou that her father would come back in a while.

Then I finally found an excuse to run alone.

I ran over in a hurry, and my clothes were about to burst!

"Please tell your father again! Let's just say I really have something important. ”

The doorman stubbornly came in again to report, and Li Er's eyes couldn't help but chill.

"Eldest Sun Wuji stays, and the others can go!"

Wei Zheng wanted to stay, but his mouth opened and he didn't say it in the end.

Fang Xuanling didn't think about it so much, and asked directly: "Your Majesty, will I stay too?" ”

After all, this relationship is all in-laws!

"You can't stay!"

"Uh....... The eldest grandson Wuji can be here, why can't I ......" Fang Xuanling couldn't help but be a little confused.

Before he finished speaking, Li Shimin interrupted him: "I let you go, you will leave, are you disobeying the holy order?" ”

"......" Fang Xuanling's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

He felt that he was marginalized, in the past, His Majesty would think about himself, why did he even avoid his daughter-in-law Gao Yang coming over?

MMP......

......

Soon, Gao Yang came in.

"Father....... Father, the prime minister has to come to recognize the door, and now he is waiting to see you! She said hurriedly.

"What? Did you take him outside the palace gates? ”

Li Shimin's jaw was about to fall when he heard this.

"Oh my God, I'm going to die......" The eldest grandson Wuji was also shocked by the white haired sweat erect.

Don't you know who he is?

If this is seen, can it still be good?

"No, I'll take him to a mansion now, and I'll ask my father to meet him later!"

"Whew~"

Li Shimin took a big breath.

OK!

Not too stupid!

"What did he come to me for?"

"Father, the prime minister said...... It's time for the money you promised to stake last time! There is also a minister who said that last time Zhao Guogong, you also promised to invest 100,000 yuan, are you also ready! ”

"......" Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji's faces turned green.

When has this been?

You're just thinking of asking for money?

Isn't that messy enough?

"No money!" Li Erqi didn't fight anywhere.

The eldest grandson Wuji raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did he say what business he did this time?" ”

"Xianggong seems to say that he is transporting grain or something......" Gao Yang said after thinking back for a long time.

"What? Transporting grain? ”

Li Shimin trembled and looked at Gao Yang in disbelief.

"Where do you get the grain from?" The eldest grandson Wuji was also confused

"Didn't you say yes the last time you drank? From the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal! ”

"Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal?"

Yeah......

There was such a stubble, and they only remembered at this time that Qin Shou seemed to have told the two of them that the next chance to make a fortune was on the canal.

The eyes of the two monarchs and ministers were instantly like a raging fire.

The grain in the north is in the hands of the wealthy families, so what if the grain is brought from the south?

Isn't it all a problem......

"Let's go, take me to meet him!" At this time, Li Shimin's heart beat faster, and he couldn't wait to fly over.

But seeing Gao Yang stumbling and saying, "Father, there is another difficult matter, I need your help, my husband has designated Fang Yiai to be the leader of this grain transportation!" ”

"Who'???"

Li Er and the eldest grandson Wuji's steps as they rushed out suddenly softened.

"What do you guys think?"
