Chapter 93: All the officials were shocked
"Huh? Virtuous nephew, why did you come to court? I knew that I would have come earlier! I can also chat with you to relieve boredom! ”
At the same time that these important ministers discovered Li Yan, Cheng Yanjin also happened to come to the Xuanwu Gate.
Cheng Yanjin saw Li Yan's figure at a glance, and immediately came to Li Yan's side.
"General Cheng."
Li Yan said hello to Cheng Yanjin.
"Don't hide it from General Cheng, I really have something to play in the court today, but this is the first time I have been to the court, and I ask General Cheng to give me guidance on where I should stand......
Li Yan chatted with Cheng Yanjin.
This is the second time Li Yan has entered the imperial city, and it is also the first time to go to the early dynasty.
To be honest, he saw so many people standing outside the Xuanwu Gate, and he really didn't know where to go to the court for a while.
"What's this, you can stand behind me Lao Cheng later, except for Wei Chi Laohei, Second Brother Qin, and Hou Junji in this court, there is no military general with military merits higher than you."
Cheng Biting Jin did not hesitate to speak, and gave Li Yan a brief introduction to the position of the court.
Generally speaking, the rules of this great court meeting are not much, and the positions are basically sorted according to the title and official position.
Even today's habitual position, in addition to the separation of civil and military, there is no designated position, and the ministers are only slowly fixed after standing in the habit.
"I see."
Li Yan and Cheng Yanjin chatted quite harmoniously.
And in the process of Li Yan and Cheng Yanjin's exchange, a kind of military general who arrived later also came over and started a regular group exchange.
And Li Yan has temporarily become the communication center of this group by virtue of the merits and fame of Feng Wolf Juxu, and everyone is releasing goodwill to Li Yan.
"When the time comes, hundreds of officials will enter the court!"
After more than ten minutes of communication, it was finally time for the dynasty.
Accompanied by the shrill voice of the eunuch, the hundred officials followed the side gate of the Xuanwu Gate, all the way into the imperial city, and into the main hall.
"Your Majesty, see Your Majesty!"
Baiguan's voice was quite neat, clasping his fists and bowing in salute.
"Excuse me."
Li Shimin is even more familiar with the process of the early dynasty, and he has said this sentence I don't know how many times.
After Li Shimin finished speaking, all the officials set their eyes on Li Yan.
If this is usual, in the absence of Li Yan in the early dynasty, the state of the hundred officials should be extremely excited, and they will doze off directly if they have nothing to do.
Today, due to Li Yan's existence, the spirits of all the officials are extremely vigorous, and they are all paying attention to Li Yan.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to play."
Sure enough, Li Yan did not live up to the attention of the hundred officials at all, and he stood up as soon as possible and was ready to start making trouble.
"Your Majesty, the minister has heard in recent days that there is a drought in Guannai Province, and the court is in urgent need of money and food, but the minister has only learned about it so far, so he is worried and uneasy......
"Fortunately, Your Majesty Shengming sent someone to plant the potatoes and other things found in Fengzhou in advance, and the food crisis can be ......lifted in three months."
"However, the distant water in March is difficult to solve today's near fire, and the minister has a plan to solve the disaster."
Li Yan first elaborated at length, and then went straight to the point.
"Although the minister's idle cloud residence, because of the gift card, there is no surplus, however, the minister is willing to contribute the power of Weibo......"
"The minister is willing to donate copper coins to relieve the disaster!"
Li Yan's expression was very righteous and Lingran, as if he had exhausted his family wealth.
"Dingbei Hou said with a smile, although you are willing to donate 10,000 yuan, but this is just a drop in the bucket for the drought, how can it be regarded as a solution to the disaster?"
As soon as Li Yan's words came out, someone began to refute them.
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Dingbei grew up freely in the border wilderness, and his knowledge is shallow, and I hope that His Majesty will exempt the Marquis of Dingbei from the crime of false words!"
Immediately after the rebuttal, Lu Kuan of the Ministry of Rites opened his mouth to speak, and his words were full of contempt.
When Li Shimin heard the second sentence, his face suddenly looked a little unpleasant.
In any case, Li Yanke is his son of Li Shimin, and this Lu Kuan's words are simply piercing Li Shimin's heart!
"Li Yan, you are really difficult to solve the disaster."
Li Shimin's face was very ugly, he regretted letting Li Yan go to court, he really didn't expect that Li Yan was going to pay money to solve the matter.
Li Shimin was vaguely disappointed.
"Your Majesty, the minister's words were interrupted by Lord Wang Qi before he finished speaking."
"I beg Your Majesty, in the name of the imperial court, to borrow grain from the world, transfer it to Guannai, and return it in full after three months!"
"If there are nobles, families, and wealthy donors, they should be remembered! Let the ages never forget! ”
Only then did Li Yan express his thoughts.
This borrowing of grain is completely feasible, after all, the potatoes have been planted now, and when the first batch of potatoes is harvested in three months, the court will definitely be able to pay it back.
As for Le Shi's meritorious work, it is clear that Li Yan has learned from his fellow travelers.
After all, after the personal verification of countless traversers, Le Shi's memory is an absolute killer move, whether it is those who are willing to pay or those who are unwilling to pay, they will be recorded and passed down for centuries.
Judging from the atmosphere of today's family, they simply value fame more than their own lives.
Le Shi Jigong used this trick, and this group of families was completely unavoidable, so they had to help the imperial court.
"Le Shi Ji Gong...... Wonderful! ”
After listening to Li Yan's words, Li Shimin's reaction was suddenly different.
He was able to achieve his current position, and his IQ was naturally not low, and it was very easy to see the beauty of Le Shi's work.
Compared with borrowing grain from the people, this method of directly asking the family for money by means of relegating stone to merit is obviously more in line with Li Shimin's wishes.
At this moment, all the officials present were shocked.
This donation of money will definitely be indispensable to their group of officials at that time.
At that time, if they donate less, they will definitely be remembered by Li Shimin, and they may be given small shoes by the emperor in the future, and there will be no good life at all!
"This Dingbei Hou...... Pit! ”
"It's over, I just used so much money by my wife in Xianyunju a few days ago, and now I want to donate money to the imperial court, hiss......"
The hearts of the hundred officials began to calculate.
Most people think about how much to donate, and they don't think much about it.
Of course, there are obviously exceptions.
Wang Jue, Lu Kuan and the others glanced at each other, and immediately began to smile bitterly.
There was a faint regret in their hearts.
Why did they want to lead public opinion to drag Dingbeihou into the water, which directly pitted themselves!
You know, other officials may be able to contribute some money, but they will be under a lot of pressure.
They were originally part of the family gate, and after such a thing as Le Shi Jigong, the family would definitely not pay for them again.
At that time, they will have to pay out of their own pockets for this donation of money in the court!
And the most terrifying thing is that after their respective families have paid for it, they must settle accounts!
The initiators of dragging Li Yan into the water are afraid that they will have to be held accountable by the family.
