Although Li Chengqian was silent, he was taken aback by Cui Ba's reaction speed.

He had also read the Analects, but for a while he didn't even remember that the sentence "Heaven has the virtue of a good life" turned out to be in the Analects.

It seems that the people with five surnames and seven wangs are really unusual, their brains have long been transformed into searchers by years of study, and they can find the source when they hear a sentence, and they don't have to think about it for long.

After speaking, Cui Bai bowed his hand to Li Chengqian again: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know what you mean by asking this?" ”

Looking at the prince's sweaty thinking appearance just now, and then carefully considering these two questions, he didn't see what the prince's intentions were.

Li Chengqian cleared his throat and coughed to silence the chatter below.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Gu just asked Fang Xiang and the head of the Cui family, the saying that God has the virtue of a good life must be reasonable. However, if you look at Lone's clothes, Lone is not hiding in the East Palace, but at the junction of Chang'an County and Wannian County, making a living for the people. The catastrophe was so great that it was easy for people to starve to death. If the imperial court sits idly by, it is estimated that there will be a tragedy of cannibalism.

I just want to ask, if this calamity was indeed from heaven, wouldn't what the Master said become a joke? ”

Hearing the crown prince's questioning of the master, the ancestors of several families jumped up like buttocks, looking at the speed of their movements, who would believe that they were all over eighty years old?

The ancestor of the Lu family didn't care at all that this was in the court, walked to Li Chengqian's side in a few steps, and said angrily: "Prince, even if you are the prince, you can't speak wild words to the master!" The old man wants to ask His Majesty, what is the prince's sin for this? ”

The ancestor of the Boling Cui clan walked to the pillar of the Lizheng Hall in a sad manner and shouted, "Ridiculous! The dignified prince actually spoke wildly in the court. The sages are above, old and incompetent, and they hear words that are contrary to the saints, but they can't fight it. The old man died in this hall to hide his shame! ”

Seeing that the ancestor of the Boling Cui clan was about to be killed, the surrounding officials hurriedly surrounded the pillar.

But one is surrounded, and there are other places.

The remaining Ancestors laughed loudly and walked towards the other pillars.

As long as one is killed today, the Li family will be speechless.

Just when the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were busy blocking people and surrounding the pillars, a discordant voice sounded in the court.

"Get out of the way, let them bump!"

The crowd looked in horror at the source of the sound.

Actually, the Prince.

Just when everyone, including the five ancestors, froze their bodies, Li Chengqian said nonchalantly: "Since "Hong Fan" said that if the monarch does not cultivate his virtue, disaster will come, and the master said that God has the virtue of a good life. It can be seen that if the monarch does not cultivate his virtues, even if there is a calamity, it will only be aimed at the monarch alone, not the common people. Since the father can eat and sleep, and the locust plague has spread to the entire Guanzhong, it can be seen that this is not a disaster from heaven. It was something else that caused this disaster.

Seven old men, if you bump into it, you can bump into it. Anyway, you firmly believe that this locust plague is a monarch's lack of virtue, which is contrary to the words of the saints. The creed that his family has believed in for many years can oppose it, and he really laughs to death, even if he dies in this hall, it is just a joke! ”

The civil and military officials, who finally understood what was going on, immediately gave up the pillar. And the emperor on the throne also laughed loudly at this time.

The faces of the seven family heads with the five surnames suddenly turned iron blue.

Perfect plan, perfect preparation, who would have thought that it would fall short when it was implemented!

Several ancestors all have the righteousness of dedicating themselves to the family and leaving a name in history, but even if they die in the main hall, they will only be spread by the imperial court, saying that they are ashamed to death.

Dead in vain!

Li Shimin laughed, and did not forget to make a gesture to the personal eunuch behind him, and the eunuch Zhang Yun understood it, and he didn't care that it was in the court, so he turned over and ran out of the apse.

Cui Bai's face was full of sadness, he knew that the emperor had definitely sent someone out of the palace to spread the news.

The dignified five surnames and seven wangs, and the big family were actually smashed by the stones of their own family, and the world doesn't know how to laugh at it!

At the gate of the palace, the eldest grandson Wuji, who had been away for a long time, finally returned. Looking at his triumphant appearance, it is obvious that he is not simply expelling the contents of his stomach.

Anyway, Li Chengqian didn't believe that this guy was constipated.

Sure enough, after the eldest grandson Wuji stood still, he reported: "Your Majesty, the grain transported from Longyou Road has now been transported to Chang'an, and it will start to be distributed immediately." In addition to helping the people, the government will also rectify the market and will never let grain prices rise too much. "Mobile.. /

Just listening to the report, I knew that the imperial court had finally announced its own measures to prevent locust plagues at this moment.

The food provided for free relief will keep some poor families from starving. Grain put on the market will stabilize the price of grain, and those who want to hoard grain will go bankrupt.

Needless to say, a family like the fifth surname that owns a lot of land must be a supporter of several grain merchants in Chang'an. In addition to pretending to release grain, he made a lot of disaster fortune behind his back. And this time, they will inevitably lose all their money.

However, at this time, the people with the five surnames who were standing in the court were in no mood to care about money.

They only knew that they were defeated, not only did they fail to suppress the emperor, but they were counter-generalized and became a laughing stock.

If it was the emperor, even if the ministers of the court inflicted such a blow on them, they could barely do it! Acceptance.

Can.

It was actually a weak-crowned prince who overturned their remarks and completely countered them.

How can this be believed!

As the main force elected by several families, Cui Bai only felt that his eyes were full of stars, and all the sage books in his mind had become fuel, and together with his resentment, he fueled the raging anger. With a strange scream, he rushed towards the prince.

The eldest grandson Wuji is worthy of being a military general, and when the officials except for the five surnames were relaxed, only he noticed Cui Ba's movements, and the white jade wat board in his hand was thrown out directly!

Still, he moved a step slower. When the white jade wat board smashed on Cui Bai's head, Li Chengqian had already withdrawn his fist.

Bang.

Cui Ba, who took two steps back, fell to the ground with a bang, his hands and feet twitching, obviously mixed up.

Li Shimin, who was singing in his heart, saw the sudden change, and was immediately furious: "Presumptuous! Qinghe Cui's family, how dare to assassinate the prince in court?! Come on, put this group of lawless people in the prison of the Criminal Department! ”

As soon as the emperor's order came out, the guards who had been waiting outside the hall immediately entered the hall, and the heads of the family with the five surnames and seven wangs dragged out.

And standing on top of the court, the officials belonging to the five surnames did not dare to come out to advise the emperor. Because the anxious emperor had already skipped the dragon case and went to comfort the prince.
