Yushi Wang Shoucheng was angered by Li You's ignorance just now, and he said: "His Royal Highness King Qi, you don't want to talk about it, why do you want to beat Cui Bingshi?" ”

Li You was furious, and he was determined to crack down on these guys who couldn't get along with him, lest they find trouble for themselves.

He said: "Father, Cui Bingshi, a dog minion, saw that his son was about to leave Chang'an, so he felt that it was your father who snubbed my mother and concubine." He looked down on people, and dared to bully my mother, and asked my father to make decisions for my mother. ”

Li Shimin was furious and said: "Damn dog minion, I really don't know whether to live or die." King Qi, tell me, how did he bully your mother? ”

Li You said, "Please summon the witnesses to the temple." ”

The ministers have all reacted, co-author Li You has long been prepared, Li Shimin must have acquiesced, it seems that the father and son are really acting. They were secretly glad that they did not follow those imperial historians to impeach Li You.

Soon, Concubine Yin's maid Qiaoyun came in, followed by a eunuch and a palace maid.

After Qiao Yun saluted with everyone, he cried directly and said: "Your Majesty, it is not once or twice that Niangniang has been bullied by this Cui Bingshi, he often deducts Niangniang's share, look at what he gave Niangniang yesterday." ”

The eunuchs and maids behind her raised their hands above their heads.

After Wang De looked at it, he said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, these things are all defective products. Cui Bingshi did insult the concubine. ”

Li Shimin's eyes narrowed, and before he could speak, Wang Shoucheng said: "Your Majesty, even so, the disposal of Cui Bingshi should be carried out in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations, and His Royal Highness the King of Qi should be punished for beating people without authorization." ”

Li Ke was depressed in his heart, and said secretly: "This Wang Shoucheng is too blind." ”

Li You said, "What's your name?" ”

Wang Shoucheng said: "The minister is the imperial history Wang Shoucheng. ”

Li You said: "It's really strange, how do you know so clearly what happened in the palace yesterday?" The palace stipulates that eunuchs and ministers are not allowed to collude with each other, how did you, a foreign minister, know so much detail? Could it be that you sneaked into the palace? ”

"You...... Chancellor didn't. The beads of sweat on Wang Shoucheng's head immediately appeared.

Li You took advantage of the victory to chase and asked, "You say, who gave you the news?" Or did someone instruct you? Say! ”

At this moment, the ministers suddenly felt a sense of fear, this bastard prince seems to be messing around, but every time he debates, he can grasp the key points and get straight to the topic, which is really powerful.

With a "snap", Li Shimin's big hand slapped on the armrest of the dragon chair, and he shouted: "Wang De." ”

"The slave is here." Wang De responded.

"Immediately kill Cui Bingshi with a cane, strictly investigate the eunuchs around him, and all those who act as tigers will be killed with a cane."

He then shouted, "Ma Xuanliang." ”

From behind the dragon chair flashed out Ma Xuanliang, the head of the guard. Said; "The minister is here!"

"Immediately put Wang Shoucheng in the court and interrogate him strictly." Li Shimin said.

Ma Xuanliang took a few guards and escorted Wang Shoucheng down.

When the ministers saw the bloody scene in front of them, they were all a little silent.

Li You said: "Thank you to my father for presiding over justice, and my son will retire." ”

Originally, today was to discuss the issue of drought prevention and control, but because of the incident of Cui Bingshi, Li Shimin forgot about it for the time being. So he let Li You leave.

Looking at the back of Li You leaving, the ministers actually had the feeling of looking up.

Flood and drought disasters have always been a major issue for the imperial court, which has a bearing on social stability and even social safety. Li Chengqian, Li Ke, and Li Tai all received the news in advance, saying that the DPRK was going to study the drought problem in the Guanzhong region this morning, and they all did their homework in advance.

Soon after Li You left, Li Shimin took out the concert of Guannei Road and reported the drought situation in Weinan, Chencang and other places.

The distribution of water resources in Kannai Province is extremely uneven, with the main water resources concentrated in the Chang'an area, and most of the rest of the area is short of water. From ancient times to the present, it has been a drought-prone area. In a normal year, the wind and rain are smooth, and grain production can still ensure the livelihood of the local people. The drought in Shaanxi in 1929 eventually resulted in 300,000 women being sold and 5 million dying.

Li Chengqian was the first to stand up, citing the historical drought incident in Guanzhong and resolutely advocating fighting drought. He proposed to dig wells, prepare food in advance, and the surrounding government was ready to accept the victims. won the approval of the ministers.

Li Ke and Li Tai also put forward similar opinions, which were also appreciated by Li Shimin. All the ministers praised the princes for their consideration of the people and the court, and they were models of love for the people.

It's a pity that they're all on paper.

Gao Jingming, the secretary of the household department, came out and said: "Your Majesty, after last year's floods, grain production was reduced, relief was provided to the victims, and troops were used against Tuyuhun, the treasury of the household department has been empty, and it is not capable of carrying out drought relief efforts. "In a word, if you want money, you don't have money, and you don't want food.

Emperor Fu Rui, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, came out and said: "Your Majesty, it is certainly a good policy to drill wells to fight drought, but the minister has estimated that if you want to solve the drought problem, you must drill at least 40,000 wells. It is also necessary to ensure that water is produced from each well, and according to the previous ratio, about 100,000 wells must be drilled to ensure that 40,000 wells have water.

Therefore, in order to fight drought by drilling wells, it is necessary to drill 100,000 wells. The cost of each well is an average of 10 yuan, and this money has to be raised by the household. ”

Gao Jingming immediately said: "Your Majesty, this is 1 million guan, and it is only to dig wells, and all the disaster relief will be down, at least 2.6 million guan, and the household department will definitely not be able to take it out." ”

Fang Xuanling came out and said: "Your Majesty, the disaster situation in front of you has just appeared, and the large-scale organization of drought fighting is easy to cause panic, the people have no money to dig wells, they will go out in advance to escape the famine, no one will take care of the crops, and the drought will artificially become more serious." ”

The words of the three important ministers immediately shocked everyone to have nothing to say, and the suggestions of the three princes immediately became empty words.

There was a lot of talk in the hall, but no one could come up with an idea.

Li Shimin was at a loss. He wanted to say that he had to fight the disaster out of his own pocket, but this was 2.6 million yuan, and he couldn't take it out at all. Besides, even if so much money is available, the Ministry of Industry does not dare to guarantee that it will be able to drill so many wells that produce water.

There are also problems such as food during the drought and the panic of the people.

Li Shimin said sadly: "Everyone, Aiqing, is there no way to watch the victims flee the famine, sell their sons and daughters, and die in the wilderness?" ”

As he spoke, the miserable scene of the people being displaced and dying in the wilderness appeared in front of him, and his eyes turned red with sadness.

When the ministers saw His Majesty like this, they were also very sad in their hearts, and knelt down together and said: "The ministers are incompetent, and the ministers will die." ”

Yin Hongzhi wanted to say that Li You might have a way, but he didn't dare to say it, this matter was too big after all.

At this time, a person stood up, he was Wei Zheng, and he said: "Your Majesty, since everyone has no choice, why don't you listen to the opinions of His Royal Highness King Qi." He didn't have much hope in his heart, but he couldn't bear to watch the people suffer, and the dead horse became a live horse doctor.

Li Tai never believed that Li You had a way, so he immediately objected, but after many slaps in the face, he was also a little afraid of that bastard. If he really has a way, he will be slapped in the face again if he opposes it.

Li Shimin will be skeptical, but no one has a way at the moment, so let's give it a try.

He said: "Immediately announce the arrival of Li You, the king of Qi. ”
