"Second son, do you think Lord Xiao will repay the saint when he returns to Beijing this time?" The day after Xiao Yu left, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing and his wife, and Chai Shao and his wife discussed the aftermath of the disaster area with Li Shimin, and Du Ruhui asked Li Shimin coldly.

The disaster has passed for ten days, and the Yellow River left behind after the breach has also been successfully drained by Li Jing Chai Shao, and the disaster has basically been completely controlled at this time, and Xiao Yu also left Hedong County two days ago to return to Beijing to resume his life. But after Xiao Yu left, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, who had slackened off on the disaster, became more concerned about what happened after Xiao Yu returned to Beijing. Because the two of them still agree with the Li family's performance in this disaster relief, but at the same time, they also see the influence of the Li family's power in the Guanlong area, and they don't believe that Xiao Yu will not see this situation.

"This time, my Li family has made meritorious contributions to disaster relief, and the Holy One deserves to be rewarded!" Li Shimin hadn't spoken yet, but Li Xiuning saw that he had expressed his attitude first. Because she thinks that the credit of the Li family this time is obvious, not only the people of Hedong County, but also the officials everywhere are grateful to the Li family.

"Misfortune and blessing depend, blessing and misfortune lurk!" Du Ruhui let out a heartfelt sigh, causing Chai Shao, Li Jing and Li Chunfeng to all look at him.

"Second son, in your opinion, why was this disaster quickly controlled?" Du Ruhui asked Li Shimin again. Of course, this is not that he deliberately embarrassed Li Shimin, but that Li Shimin's performance in this disaster relief made him very appreciative. In this disaster relief, although he and Fang Xuanling were ordered to coordinate the overall situation in danger, Li Shimin did not know the two of them. But even so, after Li Shimin arrived, he did not complain about the arrangements of the two of them, which shows that Li Shimin also has his own insights on how to provide disaster relief, but he and Fang Xuanling's approach happened to be the same as Li Shimin, so Li Shimin didn't say anything. A relative son, but willing to live in the queen, does he really have such a mind? Or do you want to take credit as an afterthought? Now that the disaster relief has begun to bear fruit, is it time to see its true character? If it is the former, then Li Shimin's character is really rare in the world.

"First, if it weren't for the third sister running around and raising materials to maintain people's livelihood at the first time, I'm afraid the people would have been in turmoil. Second, when the imperial court provided timely relief, Guangtong Cangzhang ordered Gao Daren to adapt to the situation and release grain in time, so that the livelihood of the people could be guaranteed. Third, it is your own work. When Li Shimin said this, he thanked Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing and his wife and Li Chunfeng in turn: "If it weren't for the proper coordination of several people, this disaster would not have been ten days, even if it was another ten days, I am afraid it would be difficult to end." ”

"The second son is too humble!" After listening to Li Shimin's words, Du Ruhui looked at Fang Xuanling with satisfaction, but saw that Fang Xuanling was also looking at him, and after the two smiled, Du Ruhui continued: "Speaking of the timely relief of the imperial court, it was not the second prince who personally went to Guangtong Cang to escort the grain and rice, which fundamentally solved the problem of people's livelihood. The second son now only talks about the merits of others, but does not mention his own efforts, such a character is commendable! ”

"But the problem is precisely in these grains!" At this time, Fang Xuanling followed up with a sentence, which made Chai Shao and the others confused. But fortunately, Fang Xuanling did not continue to sell Guanzi, but asked Li Shimin: "Dare to ask how the second prince made Lord Gao open a warehouse and release grain?" ”

As a result, when he asked, Li Shimin immediately understood the meaning of Du Ruhui's words. Because when he came, his father Li Yuan told him. Over the years, their Li family has been in Taoguang and obscurity, afraid of attracting the attention of the imperial court and being pushed to the cusp of the eighteenth son again, and this time seeing the people suffering, his father had to let him go to Guangtongcang to ask Gao Shilian for help, but in this way, I am afraid that many years of Taoguang's work will also be exposed to the world.

"Then according to what Mr. said, the Li family did not save the disaster this time?" Although Xiao Zhuo is proficient in Taoism, he really doesn't think so deeply about the intrigues in these officialdoms.

"Disaster relief is right, if you only talk about disaster relief, the contribution of the Li family, even Lord Xiao will not deny it." Fang Xuanling said, and also looked at Li Shimin, at this time, he and Du Ruhui both wanted to know whether the second son of the Li family in front of him was really just pure in character or had his own city. If it's the former, then it's good to make a friend today, and if it's the latter, then this person is definitely not a thing in the pool.

"But the way is not well thought out. If our Li family only uses our own funds to do our best to relieve the disaster, then no matter how much it costs, the imperial court will only think that we are dedicated to the people, but my father mobilized Guangtong warehouse grain and rice! The granary has always been an important place in the imperial court, but our Li family can mobilize it, how will the saint feel? What's more, after this incident, the people of Guanlong and Hedong are grateful to the Li family, and he raises his arms every day and shouts...... "Li Shimin didn't dare to say it, but everyone else understood what he meant." "In short, this is not what the Holy One is happy to see!"

"If you do what you do in the name of a minister, you will be in trouble!" Only then did Fang Xuanling say it thoroughly, "Eat the king's fortune and bear the king's worries." In the past, there was Cao Wei Chan to take Liu Han, and now there is Emperor Wen Chan to get the Northern Zhou Dynasty, there is Dijian before, and there are mistakes in the back, Xiao Daren is good at governing the country, but how can he not have such a foresight. ”

"Li Yuan." In the queen's bedroom, after listening to Xiao Yu's recital, Yang Guang also began to worry. For Li Yuan's cousin, he was indeed a little careless, in order to avoid the suspicion of "eighteen sons", Li Yuan invited himself to return to Jinyang, but he didn't expect that after many years, he had silently enveloped the Guanlong clan! Now it seems that there are really some signs of the fulfillment of the eighteen sons.

"Eighteen sons!" Yang Guang sighed from the bottom of his heart. Now it seems that Li Yuan has won the hearts of the people in Guanlong, and if he is dealt with at this time, I am afraid that he will attract criticism from his subjects. But if you don't leave it at that...... There are endless troubles! Yang Guang couldn't help but think of his father's deeds. Shi Wen, what do you think should be done? Since he was in the harem at this time, Yang Guang was not commensurate with Xiao Yu's ministers.

"Your Majesty, let's have a cup of tea first!" Xiao Meiniang looked at the situation in front of her, knowing that it was not her time to interject, so she could only relieve the anxiety of the two first. And what she cared about was why Xiao Yu didn't bring back the person named Li Jing. This person who found out the epidemic in Chang'an Palace, when Xiao Yu went to Hedong County in the past, she specially told her to invite this "capable person" to Luoyang to reward her, but at this time, Xiao Yu came back and didn't seem to bring Li Jing back.

"What Your Majesty said is very true, so in the opinion of the ministers, not only can Li Yuan not be punished at this time, but he should also be rewarded. And to deal with him, in addition to being justified, it is best to depart from his vest first. During the eight days in Hedong County, Xiao Yu not only inspected the disaster relief situation, but also learned about Fang Xuanling, who coordinated the disaster relief, but found that these people all have the talent to swallow the world.

"So, Shi Wen, you have a way?" Yang Guang saw Xiao Yu say this, and he also knew that Xiao Yu should have thought of a way.

"Your Majesty may wish to order Li Yuan to build a palace in Jinyang for a period of one year on the grounds that he will inspect all parties next year, and now the weather will soon enter winter, and the weather will be cold and freezing, and the processing period is compact, and Li Yuan is bound to let the craftsmen hurry up the work. In recent years, the people have suffered from forced labor. When Xiao Yu said this, he couldn't help but look at Yang Guang, he wrote about this matter, but he quarreled with Yang Guang, but fortunately, Yang Guang didn't mean to bring up the old things again this time, so he continued: "The people are suffering from servitude, so they will naturally have resentment towards Li Yuan, which is a policy to betray morality." The Palace of the Son of Heaven is huge and magnificent, how can it be built in a year? If Li Yuan built a palace, His Majesty could accuse him of 'not being subordinate, and had already prepared to build a palace in an attempt to commit misdeeds'. If Li Yuan can't build a palace, it will be a failure of the emperor's order, and it is even more justifiable to condemn him. ”

"Hmmm! It's a great idea. What about centrifugation? Yang Guangzheng asked, but the waiter outside the door hurriedly ran in, looking very flustered, and reported as he walked: "Your Majesty...... His Majesty...... Your Majesty, Yuwen Xiangguo is asking to see you outside! ”

"What's the matter with him?" At first glance, when he heard that Yu Wenshu came to ask for a meeting, Yang Guang's mood also became bad, although he trusted Yu Wenshu very much, but he still didn't like Yu Wenshu's restraint on his son Yu Wenhua. It's just that Yuwenshu has worked hard after all, and his grandson Yuwencheng is just and loyal, so Yang Guang didn't kill Yuwenhua.

"It is said that there is a front-line battle report to inform Your Majesty." The chamberlain replied.

"Biography." Since Yuwen said that he came this time to do business, he couldn't say that he couldn't say no. But at the same time, he also asked Xiao Yu to continue to talk about the way to deal with Li Yuan.

"Your Majesty can entrust Li Yuan with an important task. In this crusade, most of the grain and rice in the granaries of the Central Plains have been transferred to Beiping Mansion and Donglai, especially the Guangtong Warehouse has encountered disaster relief at this time, and the grain reserves may not be much. His Majesty can entrust him with the post of Guangtong Cang's order, firstly, to punish the former commander Gao Shilian for releasing grain without authorization, and secondly, if Li Yuan wants to live up to his mission, he must mobilize Guanlong's connections and mobilize the private grain of all ethnic groups. In this way, it is difficult for the various clans in Guanlong to be concentric with Li Yuan, which is a centrifugal ....... Xiao Yu was finally finished, but there was a cry outside the door: "Your Majesty! You have to be the master of the ministers! ”

With the support of Yu Wenhua, Yu Wenshu just entered the door and cried, his voice was so poignant and his face was miserable, and Xiao Yu remembered what he looked like when Xiao Zhuo died. As soon as these two people saw Yang Guang, they immediately wanted to bow their heads and bow, but when Yu Wenshu knelt down, he stumbled under his feet, and the person suddenly fell to the ground without saying anything, and the square box in his hand also fell to the ground, and a human head immediately fell out of the square box.

"What is this?" Xiao Yu was also taken aback at first glance. But then he also recognized who the human head was.

"Your Majesty! Pei's father and son defected to Wagang, and Chenglong, the grandson of the old minister, was also killed by Pei Renji! Yuwen said, and hurriedly went to collect Yuwen Chenglong's head.

"There is such a thing!" When Yang Guang heard this, he was furious, because in his opinion, those people in Wagangzhai were just some small bandits, so they would sell them to Yu Wenhua and a favor at the beginning, so that Yuwen Chenglong could take the opportunity to make some war exploits. But he never imagined that things would turn out like this. But because Xiao Yu was still present, Yang Guang finally suppressed his anger and instructed Xiao Yu, "Xiao Qing, you go to draft the decree first." ”

"Your Ministers obey." Xiao Yu also knew that Yang Guang was deliberately trying to break away from him, so he was ordered to retreat. But when he turned around, he still comforted Yu Wenhua and said: "Lord Yuwen, you have to mourn when you lose your son when you are old!" ”

"You!" The others present didn't hear anything wrong with Xiao Yu's words, but Yu Wenhua didn't know how he went to Xiao's house to attend Xiao Zhuo's funeral that day, and what he said was exactly that! As a result, Yu Wenhua and a mouthful of blood spit out and fainted on the spot. But where would Xiao Yu care about him, he still kept walking out.

"Brother Yu." Seeing this, Xiao Meiniang immediately stepped forward to see Xiao Yu. When he got to him, he asked in a low voice, "Have you ever brought that Li Jing back?" ”

As a result, when she asked this, Xiao Yu glanced at her suspiciously. Because during the eight days in Hedong County, Xiao Yu also learned a little about the affairs of Chang'an Palace, and knew that this matter was mainly done by Li Chunfeng, and Li Chunfeng was Xiao Zhuo inside. Although Xiao Zhuo didn't tell him why he wanted to cover up the truth about Chang'an Palace on the grounds of the epidemic, based on the performance of Xiao Zhuo, Zhu Guier, and Jiang Yingxue, he also vaguely guessed that he probably shouldn't know about it, so he didn't ask any more. At this time, Xiao Meiniang was also particularly concerned about this matter, and Xiao Yu felt a little unusual.

"Mrs. Li relapsed because of the disaster relief, and Li Daxia couldn't come to Luoyang for the time being in order to accompany her to recuperate." After Xiao Yu thought about it, he finally told Li Jing in his original words. Although he now also thinks that the reason Li Jing said at that time may not be true, since Li Jing does not want to come, he has no reason to tie Li Jing to Luoyang.

"It's really time to get sick!" Where would Xiao Meiniang believe this kind of reason, but the merit of Chang'an Palace to eliminate the epidemic is far from being high enough to be summoned by decree, and she can't force Li Jing to come to Luoyang for a while.
