Chapter 31: Take control of Chang'an City

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Wei are brothers in the end, Your Majesty will return to Chang'an sooner or later, and spare King Wei once!" Gao Shilian couldn't help but remind.

"King Wei is the younger brother of King Lone, King Gu is afraid that he will be scared and sick when he sees so many dead people at once, so he doesn't let him come here, not to do anything." Li Chengqian also knew that he couldn't kill Li Tai now, as long as Li Tai was controlled during this time, it would naturally be clear who was strong and who was weak.

"That's good." Gao Shilian is not in the mood to intercede with others now, he is really afraid that Li Chengqian will persuade Li Jing and Xiao Yu to rebel.

"Don't talk about this, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the city waiting for help, let's talk about disaster relief!" Li Chengqian directly changed the topic.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, before coming, the minister had ordered the two counties of Chang'an Wannian to report the disaster, but they haven't reported it yet." Gao Shilian looked helpless.

"Mr. Hao will tell you about the investigation of the East Palace from the two counties." Li Chengqian commanded lightly.

Gao Shilian was shocked, it turned out that the Prince's Palace had done it first, and it seemed that he had to deal with it carefully.

Hao Chujun walked to the middle of the hall from behind, and saluted Li Chengqian: "Honorable Order"

Then I took out a booklet and started reading. "Since yesterday, Chang'an and Wannian counties received an order from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, that is, they sent people to various squares to help the homeless people whose houses were crushed by heavy snow, and until yesterday evening, Chang'an County has been resettled 2,000 people, and Wannian County has been resettled 1,700 people."

"In this way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew yesterday that there would be a heavy snowstorm, which is really amazing!" A fat old man shook his head and said.

"Chang'an and Wannian counties have also saved more than 3,000 people, which is also a great achievement!" Xiao Yu also sighed.

Li Chengqian frowned when he heard this, glanced at the old ghost, and the old ghost hurriedly whispered: "Tang Shangshu." ”

Li Shimin, the favorite minister of Tang Jian's household department, once sent an envoy to the Turks, and his official never handled political affairs, handed over all government affairs to his deputy, and set up wine and banquets every day.

Hearing that it was him, Li Chengqian said angrily: "The lonely king and the people of Chang'an City live in Chang'an City, how can they not know that the heavy snow has become a disaster?" In a word, Gao Shilian and Yang Shidao's faces were red, but Tang Jian was like no one.

"Mr. Hao, you go on." Li Chengqian shook his head in his heart.

"Honor, as of this morning, Donggong Liurate and Chang'an County have dispatched together to find a total of 3,210 bodies of people who have frozen to death, and a total of more than 57,000 people's houses in the two counties have been crushed by the heavy snow and have been homeless." Hao Chujun's eyes moistened a little when he thought of this.

There was a sound of inhaling in the main hall, none of them thought that the heavy snow in just two days would cause such a big disaster.

"With such a big snow disaster, why haven't the two counties of Chang'an Wannian reported to Shangshu Province until now?" Liu Xun was so surprised that he could hardly believe his ears.

"All the people in Chang'an and Wannian counties and the people of the six rates of Donggong have been busy all morning, and when the snow stops, they will write a report and report it." Hao Chujun forcibly suppressed the fire qidao, thinking of Li Chengqian's situation, he couldn't wait to kill Liu Xun now.

"Okay, now that everyone knows about the disaster, let's talk about what to do?" Li Chengqian always ignored Liu Xun.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Qiqi, General Xue, asks to see you!" A little eunuch said.

"Let him in!"

Everyone in the hall felt tight, and they all looked over with complicated expressions, only to see Xue Rengui walking in with a heavy bloody aura.

The important ministers in front are basically people who have experienced the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and a few of them are still generals who came out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, and they don't feel much about the bloody qi on Xue Rengui's body, but some of the horses in the back have white faces.

Of the three princes, only Li Ke, the king of Wu, could still deal with it indifferently, and Li Su, the king of Shu, and Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, were also so frightened that their faces turned pale.

Xue Rengui walked up to Li Chengqian and knelt down on one knee, and said in a sonorous voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the one hundred and forty guards brought by the King of Wei have all been killed, please show His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"Where is King Wei?" Li Chengqian said expressionlessly.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei has been sent to Yiqiu Palace by Qiu Shenji to rest."

"Who else doesn't?" Li Cheng knew that Du Chuke was with Li Tai.

"Du Chuke, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, came with the King of Wei, and now he is pressing outside the palace."

"Has Du Chuke ever broken into the palace?"

"Du Chuke stood beside King Wei and never broke into the palace."

"Du Shangshu was invited by King Gu to discuss disaster relief, let him in."

"Honor!" Xue Rengui got up with a fist and went out.

Everyone in the palace was also relieved, and if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not move Du Chuke and King Wei, it was not a big deal.

Du Chuke's face was extremely ugly when he walked in, and after he reluctantly saluted Li Chengqian, his face showed a state of grief, and he said astringently: "His Royal Highness the Prince, boil the beans and burn the beans, and the beans are crying in the kettle." It's the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other?"

Li Chengqian calmly watched him finish his performance, and asked coldly: "Du Chuke, you are the head of the Wei Palace, the King of Wei has not been sick recently, right?"

Before his father returned to Beijing, King Wei had better not get sick, if he was sick, there were three long and two short, and it would be difficult for the lonely king to explain to his father.

King Wei temporarily lives in Yiqiu Palace these days, you can go to see him later, I don't know if you have been to Yiqiu Palace, remember that my father was the one who cried at the gate of Yiqiu Palace and cried the prince and the king, you can chant this poem there. ”

Du Chuke was stunned after hearing this, he thought that Li Chengqian was going to kill Li Tai, so as soon as he entered the door, he made a heartbroken statement, who knew that Li Chengqian had no intention of killing Li Tai.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Chengqian slowly got up and slowly glanced at the people sitting in a circle, and said calmly: "You don't want Li Tai to get sick in the East Palace, right?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the eldest brother of the King of Wei, His Majesty is not in Beijing, and if the King of Wei makes a mistake, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will naturally discipline him, and the ministers have no right to interfere as foreign ministers.

Du Shangshu, as the head of the Wei Palace, you can't escape the blame for your mistakes, and you dare to talk nonsense in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, and you don't want to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for your guilt! ”

Li Shiji had already seen that Li Chengqian had no murderous intentions, but he felt that Li Chengqian today was very dangerous, and in case Li Chengqian was provoked, it would not be as simple as killing a Li Tai, so he hurriedly came out to play a round.

Du Chuke's face was flushed, he hesitated for a moment or fell to the ground, and was silent for a moment before he said in fear: "Weichen has no form, please forgive His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Li Chengqian looked at Du Chuke kneeling in front of him, took a deep breath, and slowly sat down before saying, "Du Shangshu is flat, sit down!" ”

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie." Du Chuke walked to the back seat.

Li Chengqian didn't wait for him to sit down, so he spoke: "Now that the disaster situation is like fire, I have two requirements now, one is that Tang Shangshu of the household department immediately allocate disaster relief food to Wannian County and Chang'an County to resettle the people. One sent people out of the city to clear the road to Lishan and welcome his father back to Beijing as soon as possible. ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was right, and Tang Shangshu immediately ordered the opening of the warehouse to release grain, and transferred it to Chang'an and Wannian counties to relieve the victims, and at the same time sent people from the people who were not affected by the disaster to go out of the city to clear the snow.

What do you think?" Gao Shi Lian Shangshu is the right servant, here he is the biggest, and when he said it, everyone else nodded in agreement.

Li Chengqian glanced at Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu coughed and said: "I can't see it well, the people of Chang'an City have been affected by the snow disaster, and they have to go out of the city to clear the snow on the roads. ”

Xiao Yu was regretting that he had rushed too hard just now, involving the battle between the East Palace and the King of Wei for the throne, and he didn't want to speak. Before Li Chengqian took a look, he immediately entered the state.

"Song Guogong, if you have any lofty opinions, please say it directly!" Gao Shilian is also arrogant.

"That's it!" Li Chengqian saw that Xiao Yu was about to stand up, so he hurriedly waved his hand to stop him.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, it is better to transfer the soldiers of the left and right guards out of the city to clear the snow, and let them go to welcome His Majesty back to Beijing sooner." Li Shiji pondered.

"No, no one is allowed to mobilize troops and horses when my father is not in Beijing, we don't know how many places around Chang'an City have been affected by snowstorms, and this army may be of great use."

"Then you can only recruit people." Liu Xun has a lot of opinions about Xiao Yu today.

"Just now, Song Guogong and Wei Guogong told King Gu that all the ministers are deeply favored by the country, and Chang'an has suffered this catastrophe, and they are willing to send their generals and family members to clear the snow on the roads outside the city, and welcome His Majesty back to Beijing as soon as possible.

What do you think?"

"I have five hundred generals in my family, and I will take it out of the city to clear the snow and welcome His Majesty back to Beijing in a while." It has not been said that Wei Chigong was the first to stand up and express his support.

"King Gu thinks so, since the monks in each palace will be in the family, and the guards in the palaces and princesses will also be sent out, do you have different opinions?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has so many people out of the city, I'm afraid I won't be able to use up the snow clearing, right?" Liu Xun thought he had a plan.

"When there are too many people, the roads leading to the surrounding counties of Chang'an will also be cleared, and the people there don't know what is going on. Li Chengqian really couldn't listen to Liu Xun.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's lesson is that the ministers are willing to obey His Royal Highness the Prince's orders." Yang Shidao stood up in a timely manner, and the other ministers were stunned for a moment, and they also stood up one by one to agree.

"As the so-called difficulties prosper the country, as long as we unite as one, we will definitely be able to pass this hurdle, it depends on whether you have the determination to tide over the difficulties with Datang."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is taught!" As soon as Tang Jian spoke, everyone rolled their eyes, you must know that Li Shimin likes to listen to ugly words, and if you want to please Li Shimin, you have to say something ugly to him, and it is rare to talk like this in the Zhenguan Dynasty.

"Since there are many people out of the city, it must be uniformly dispatched, and the court will send someone to go, so the heads of each family don't have to go out of the city, I don't know if Uncle Jiangxia is willing to go out of the city for a few days?"

"The minister is willing!" Li Daozong said very honestly.

"Chang'an City can't just rely on the two county yamen, and the imperial court has to send a messenger to handle this matter. He sent Liu to participate in the government and manage the disaster relief in Chang'an. Li Chengqian didn't ask for other people's opinions this time.

"Chang'an is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, what else do you want to send?" Liu Xun was obviously not convinced.

"What's wrong at the feet of the Son of Heaven?" Li Chengqian looked at Liu Xun calmly, and paused before saying: "Thousands of people have frozen to death, didn't you know that Liu participated in politics?"

Liu Xun's scalp was numb when Li Chengqian said it, and he wanted to refute it, but he didn't know where to start, so he ran out of words.

"Liu participates in politics, are you willing to share the worries of the court?" Li Chengqian made further progress.

"Liu Shenzheng will return to His Royal Highness the Prince." Gao Shilian was in a hurry.

Liu Xun lowered his head and took a deep breath, squeezing out three words from between his teeth: "The minister is willing." ”
