Chapter 22: The Vanishing Granary
Wang Sheng's voice echoed in the Taiji Hall.
Hundreds of officials entered the hall, their faces were solemn, and their clothes were neat.
Ye Huan followed the queue of military attachés, and walked into the Taiji Hall step by step, he had never seen the place where the hundred officials were meeting, and for a while, his curious eyes widened and looked left and right.
The Taiji Hall is wide and silent, with vermilion carved dragon pillars, and the two of them hug each other. Vermilion, golden yellow are mixed, the morning light outside the hall is put into the hall, and the lighting is excellent.
Ye Huan swept his feet and looked towards the head of the Taiji Palace, where the pu fans made of peacock tails on the left and right were held by two graceful palace maids and stood on both sides of the throne. And below the palace maid, there were two sculpture-like figures standing there quietly, and Ye Huan wouldn't have noticed them at all if he hadn't observed them carefully.
Low-key, silent, as if there was no one there.
When Ye Huan saw them, one of them rolled his eyes, and finally his gaze fell on him.
At that moment, Ye Huan felt goosebumps rise on his body, as if he had pulled out all his clothes and threw him in the ice cellar!
That's murderous!
Ye Huan couldn't help but swallow his saliva, he said in his heart, what is the void of the master, the master entered the palace by order, if it weren't for Li Shimin's message, the master wouldn't want to come at all, no, please grandpa won't come!
Ye Huan's gaze passed over the two people holding the long sword, and landed on the seat with fine pattern carving, representing power, status, and honor.
Dragon chair! Ye Huan felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and he wanted to go up and sit down for a while.
Phew!
Ye Huan suddenly realized, damn, this is not a park recliner, sit down for a while, but you will lose your life! No, maybe he was killed by those two horrible guys before he got close to the dragon chair.
This thought can't be had, Ye Huan was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly dispelled it, not even thinking about it.
"The emperor enters the palace—"
At this time, Wang Sheng's voice sounded again, and with his voice, Li Shimin was dressed in a golden threaded dragon bright yellow imperial robe, extremely majestic, surrounded by guards, and slowly sat down.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live—"
In response to Wang Sheng's words, the ministers immediately knelt down, their posture respectful, and their voices shouted in unison sincerely.
Ye Huan went to the morning court for the first time, and his reaction was half a beat slower, and he was particularly conspicuous and prominent among the crowd. But he did the same, and then he knelt down and shouted hooray.
"This kid ......," Li Shimin shook his head with a dark smile.
"Flat—"
"Emperor Xie!"
The ministers then patted their sleeves and stood up.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's still the topic of the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday and yesterday were fruitless, and today is not going to disappoint me again!"
Li Shimin sat upright on the dragon chair, glancing at the ministers with fierce eyes, and his voice was extremely majestic.
"Follow the parables!"
The ministers replied neatly again.
Li Shimin nodded, and suddenly saw Zhao Xing, the head of the household, walking out of the court, with excitement on his face.
"On the saint, the sky is endless, I Li Tang, the homeless people have been saved!"
"Oh?"
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, and those ministers were also shocked, I hadn't seen you make a statement before, how could you dare to say that the displaced people were saved as soon as you opened your mouth? Is it flattery, or is it true? However, with Zhao Xing's identity, it should not be groundless.
Those courtiers who were good friends with the head of the household couldn't help but scold him in their hearts for not being righteous enough, so wow, make a fortune in a muffled voice!
Li Shimin looked at the Hubu Shangshu with a hint of expectation on his face, and said hurriedly.
"Why did Aiqing say this?"
Zhao Xing touched the sweat on his forehead, felt a lot of eyes, and said respectfully.
"Qiqi Sheng, the minister's suggestion is the granary where the former Sui disappeared."
"The Daxing granary in the Sui capital, the Xingluo granary in Gongxian, and the Hanjiacang built in Luoyang...... But the grain and grass in these three granaries have been collected into the national treasury and dispatched in a unified manner? Zhao Shangshu, I don't know what you mean by the disappearing granary? ”
Fang Xuanling, who was at the forefront of the court, raised his own questions when he heard this.
Zhao Xing, the head of the household, smiled and explained: "What the minister said is not bad, compared to your guesses, yes, what the minister said is a new granary!" ”
Wow!
It wasn't until he heard the definite remarks from Zhao Xing's mouth that there was an uproar in the Taiji Hall.
What does the new granary mean, naturally Zhao Xing does not need to explain anything.
Li Shimin was overjoyed, and Rao couldn't help but show a trace of shock: "What is this granary called?" ”
"Back to the saint, this granary is a move left by Yang Guangliu at the beginning of the Battle of the Former Sui! Even if he is a faint monarch and can occupy the throne, he should not be underestimated. ”
As soon as Zhao Xing's words came out, the courtiers all nodded silently, thinking that they could also do everything to suffocate their relatives with pillows, which can be regarded as courageous.
"But what does that have to do with the vanished granary?" A minister asked.
"Of course it does!" Zhao Xing said with great certainty, "Yang Guang still has a vision, and seeing the princes from all walks of life rise up one by one, this also makes him realize that the general trend has gone, and the Sui Dynasty is going to die!" ”
"The more he went to the country, the more Yang Guang wantonly expropriated the people's money, cloth, grain, grass and precious jade."
"Some people say that this is a manifestation of his complete despair, and he is enjoying himself while the princes have not yet come." Hubu Shangshu smiled, as if he was sending a shocking conspiracy, "We all underestimated Yang Guang, let me ask where is the gold, silver, jewelry, grain and grass that were looted after the city was broken?" ”
"No, not one!" Wei Zheng squinted his eyes and replied.
"Wasn't that squandered by him?" Some ministers said as a matter of course, after all, how extravagant Yang Guang was at the end of the period, so many people watched.
"It's as simple as you think!" Zhao Xing shook his head and said.
"Do you mean that Yang Guang realized that the general trend was gone, and extreme pleasure was just a façade? Just to confuse the crowd? Du Ruhui's thoughts turned sharply and he thought deeper.
"That's right!"
"But what is his purpose in confusing the people?" At this time, even Li Shimin couldn't help but ask.
This group of old men is talking like, and if they want to talk, they have to say it like...... Ye Huan couldn't help but yawn when he listened to them chatting after the morning class.
Isn't that obvious? In order to transfer grain, grass, and jewelry!
"To transfer grain, grass, and jewelry?" Fang Xuanling asked tentatively.
"That's right!"
But what did he do with such a large amount of grain, grass, and jewelry? Collection? Ye Huan shook his head, Yang Guang shouldn't have a collector's habit, and he still collects a fart when everyone is dead.
In this way, it seems to be left to future generations, and the descendants of the surname Yang are ...... Well......
Ye Huan nodded to himself, and was suddenly startled, could it be ...... Yang Guang is planning to restore Sui?! And the start-up capital for this plan is the disappearing, piled up mountains of jewels and grains!!
Thinking of this, Ye Huan stood on tiptoe and looked at Li Shimin sitting on the dragon chair, and found that he was also squinting his eyes at this time.
It seems that Li Er also thought of this.
Thinking of this, Ye Huan looked at Zhao Xing, the question was how did he know about this secret?
Ye Huan glanced at Li Shimin, and he really looked at Zhao Xing with a scrutinizing eye.
As if to dispel the suspicions of the monarch and ministers, Zhao Xing wiped the sweat on his forehead and replied: "The minister only received the secret guarantee at the end of the day, so he said it in the early dynasty." ”
"What's the security content?" Li Shimin asked, "From now on, I should find out whether it is true or false. ”
"Gangnam-do, fog, ghost boats on the river! It is suspected to be related to the disappeared granaries and jewelry! ”
Everyone's pupils shrank suddenly, pondering Zhao Xing's words repeatedly.
"Gangnam-do ......"
Ye Huan held his chin in his hand, made the standard posture of Sherlock Holmes when thinking, and dragged his chin with one hand, his eyes were foggy.
Hehe, interesting, the current situation is like a group of people who know a treasure, know what is in the treasure, know that the treasure is probably in that place...... The only thing I don't know is whether there is danger during the exploration, whether there is an ambush.
According to the current situation, unless I come up with other food to solve the problem of the hungry people, it is almost certain that Li Shimin will send people to explore the treasure...... Ye Huan said in his heart.
