Chapter 472: The Danger of Yangzhou
"The emperor has a decree! Something early! Nothing to retreat from! "In the early morning, the old eunuch's sharp voice made people very uncomfortable, but everyone became more 'spirited', because everyone knew that business was coming, so everyone pricked up their ears, as if they were waiting for something! Today's early dynasty is the first time to go to the court after the New Year, but there is no smile on everyone's face, they know that today's things are big, it is likely to affect many people, people who have no ghosts in their hearts are holding the attitude of watching a good show, but people with ghosts in their hearts are secretly uneasy!
"The minister has his own music!" Fang Xuanling's body is not as good as day by day at this time, his body is a little old, and he basically has to 'worry' about getting up as the prime minister all over the country, which makes Fang Xuanling even more exhausted. At this time, although Fang Xuanling's body was a little rickety, it still seemed to be equipped with a 'spirit' spirit, and as Fang Xuanling stood up, everyone's hearts couldn't help but rise, because they knew that the business was coming!
"Aiqing, please get up! Now that you have this music, let's talk about what it is! After Li Shimin saw Fang Xuanling walk out, the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched, obviously he was also waiting for this! However, when it was really faced, Li Shimin was also unacceptable for a while, and perhaps Li Shimin was also contradictory. On the one hand, the suffering of the people made Li Shimin feel like a knife, and on the other hand, Li Shimin did not want to believe that this matter was true, but if this matter was true, who would have the courage to do so? Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help but glance back and forth in the Zichen Palace, and finally his eyes fell on Li Tai's body, and after a while, Li Shimin couldn't help but look at Fang Xuanling again!
Li Tai has always shown a calm appearance, it is difficult for people to believe that he did this, if it is really related to Li Tai, and his concentration to collapse in front of Taishan is really admirable. Li Yunfei stood at the head of the military ministers, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at Li Tai back and forth, at this time, Li Yunfei gave people the feeling that he was an ordinary person, far from the brilliance of the past, so Li Yunfei looked a lot more 'colorful' than Li Tai, but Li Yunfei didn't care.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! The minister was informed by the prefect of Yangzhou that there was a famine in Yangzhou at this time, and the most important thing is that the weather this year is far colder than in previous years, and many people are starving to death and freezing to death! Yangzhou γγγγγγ Yangzhou can now be said to be ten rooms and nine empty, and at this time Yangzhou City has been covered by the plague, and Yangzhou City has now been closedγγγγγγ I'm afraid Yangzhou City will become a dead city! Although Fang Xuanling has seen the recital several times, he is still sweating profusely when he reads it in front of hundreds of civil and military officials today, and it is really hard to imagine that such a thing can happen in such a rich and prosperous place as Yangzhou.
"Bang!" Although Li Shimin had already received the information in advance, after he really knew it, his heart was like a volcano erupting, and he slapped his palm on the dragon chair, and suddenly the dragon chair seemed to be beaten and was about to fall apart. This recital should have been passed to him a few months ago, but it was forced to be pressed to the present, and this is because the prefect of Yangzhou is really difficult to control the continuous recital. Li Shimin couldn't help but look at Li Tai, Li Shimin really wanted to hear what his son would say, because Li Tai was also a governor of Yangzhou no matter how he said it, and this matter would be somewhat implicated in Li Tai no matter what, but Li Tai seemed to be unmoved, as if he hadn't heard it at all, and he didn't see Li Shimin looking at him.
"See Father! Erchen is willing to ask his father to 'hand' this matter to Erchen, after all, Yangzhou did belong to Erchen in the past, but Erchen did not expect that such a thing would happen after Erchen entered Beijing, and Erchen thought that the minister must be responsible for this matter! Therefore, if Erchen wants to go back to Yangzhou to investigate this matter, he must find out the culprit and give justice to the people of Yangzhou. "Li Tai finally came out after a long time, and almost half of the ministers were still looking at him, and if he didn't say anything, he couldn't 'hand' over, so he came out like this, and everyone was looking at Li Tai. Everyone didn't expect Li Tai to perform so well, and the most amazing thing was Li Tai's words, which completely pushed his responsibility away, but if you think about it carefully, it really happened, this happened just a few months after Li Tai came to Beijing.
"Boom! Wow!...... "Li Tai's words can be said to be a stone that 'stirred' up a thousand layers of 'waves', and all civil and military officials feel that Li Tai is really a responsible person, and at the same time, he is also habitual 'sexual' to exclude Li Tai from the possibility of being the mastermind behind the scenes. What Li Tai said is indeed reasonable, after all, these things have nothing to do with Li Tai, when Li Tai was in Yangzhou, but nothing like this has ever happened, and now Li Tai is in the capital, but something happened in Yangzhou, how to look at it is also a matter of local officials!
"Humph! It's 'quite' good at pretending! is really worthy of being a man who scares Baihui, just by virtue of this hand, anyone is surprised, right? Li Yunfei didn't eat Li Tai's set, seeing Li Tai so sincere, he really snorted coldly in his heart, and at the same time couldn't help but recall Kawashima Baihui's evaluation of Li Tai at the beginning, and now it seems that Kawashima Baihui is really light.
"Oh!? In this way, this matter has nothing to do with the emperor? However, I heard that the emperor's political performance in Yangzhou is also not good, and Yangzhou's output is also decreasing year by year, I don't know if the emperor has such a thing? When Li Shimin heard Li Tai's words, his brows also stretched, and he let a pair of eyes stare at Li Tai's eyes tightly, as if he wanted to see through his son.
"It's true!" Li Tai admitted it very happily, but everyone gasped, especially those who belonged to Li Tai's party, and they were even more anxious around Li Tai, but Li Tai's appearance was not slow or slow, it was really the emperor who was not in a hurry and the eunuch was in a hurry!
"Then the emperor has nothing else to say? I think you must have your own reasons!? Li Shimin couldn't help frowning when he saw Li Tai's appearance, he knew that Li Tai must have something else to say, so Li Yunfei gave Li Tai this opportunity! In fact, Li Shimin still praises Li Tai's 'sexual' personality, and has a look of doing big things, unlike some people who shout as long as they are small things, but the soft mud can't support the wall.
"Father! Erchen has been in Yangzhou for several years, and in the first few years, the wind and rain can be smooth, and there will be a bumper harvest every year! However, three years ago, there was a major drought and flood, and since then, Erchen has organized personnel to build water conservancy, and this situation was even more serious last year. Therefore, such a situation will occur in the past few years, and please ask my father to investigate! If the father doesn't believe it, the father can call those Yangzhou officials to ask if the sons did this! When Li Tai heard Li Shimin's words, he suddenly shouted loudly and said wrongly, and then said clearly and slowly, it is really hard to believe that there is really such a prince who thinks about the people.
"The emperor got up and spoke, I believe what you said is true! It's just this matter, what does Aiqing think? When Li Shimin heard Li Tai's words, he nodded with satisfaction, and then turned his head to Fang Xuanling and asked. Li Shimin knows that this matter has reached the point of urgency, these officials have always reported good news and not bad news, after all, it is related to their political achievements, but now that the Yangzhou prefect has reported his worries to this point, it must be that things have been completely out of his control, so there will be such a thing!
"Your Majesty! The minister thought that this matter had reached the point of urgency, and the states could be asked to levy grain and grass to support Yangzhou, but this plague still needs to be discussed, and the plague must not be allowed to spread. Therefore, martial law must be imposed on Yangzhou, so that the plague can be controlled as much as possible under the premise of finding the possibility of curing the plague! Fortunately, it's winter, and if it's summer, I'm afraid it's out of control! Fang Xuanling heard Li Shimin's words, and hurriedly said, he was indeed right, now it is not only a matter of relief, but also the plague that fled from the wind, in this era, it is simply equivalent to a terminal illness!
"Love has a point! But where can we first requisition so much grain and grass to meet the urgent need? The treasury is not very rich now! Li Shimin also nodded when he heard Fang Xuanling's words, but the most important thing now is to eat. Transferring grain and grass from the states is not an overnight thing, but where does this urgent need come from? Everyone was silent! The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, you look at me, I look at you, they are all speechless, and they can't touch the upper 'lips' and the lower 'lips', and conjure up so much grain and grass, so for a while, the needles in the Zichen Hall can almost be heard.
"Father! Erchen can solve the urgent need for grain and grass in the early stage, but I'm afraid it can only be solved in a few days, and the other grain and grass must arrive as soon as possible! Otherwise, there is nothing the son can do! Li Yunfei saw that everyone was silent, he couldn't help gritting his teeth, stood up when Cheng Biting Jin stopped shaking his head, and walked to the center to bow down to Li Shimin.
"What!? Emperor, can you really solve the problem of grain and grass in advance!? The emperor can rest assured, as long as he can survive a few days, I guarantee that grain and grass will arrive one after another, and the danger of Yangzhou will be solved by then! It's just this plagueγγγγγγ When Li Shimin heard Li Yunfei's words, his eyes lit up, he felt that Li Yunfei was simply a lucky star sent by God, and Li Yunfei would 'stand up' whenever he encountered difficulties, which made Li Shimin like it very much! It's just that what Li Shimin didn't notice was that when he was talking to Li Yunfei, the corners of Li Tai's mouth were 'revealed' with a sneer, as if he was laughing at Li Yunfei's indiscretion!
