Of course, politics needs to be forbearing, but when it is time to advance bravely, it must also be decided immediately, Li Xian is deeply rhymed with this, don't look at the power of the Empress Wu at this time, in fact, it is just floating clouds, not to mention that it has almost no foundation in the local area, even the strength in the court is not enough to occupy a dominant position, all that can be relied on is Gaozong's favor, as for Jia Chaoyin and others, they all jump off the ears of the clown, and they can't make a big wave at all, especially when Gaozong has the heart to pull Li Xian out to balance the court situation, Li Xianzi was even more fearless of putting on a posture of political contention with the Empress Wu in public.

"Okay, very good, Xian'er is so confident, my mother wants to see what kind of strategy Xian'er has to deal with the disaster."

Empress Wu has been accustomed to it over the years, and she really hasn't encountered much of a challenge, at this time, she was hit by Li Xian like this, and her lungs almost exploded, but after all, Empress Wu is the Empress Wu, even if she is angry in her heart, she will not show any gaffe, she just nodded calmly, and said something in her words.

"The queen mother can rest assured, since the son dares to speak, he can bear it, and he is willing to ask the queen mother to become the son of the minister's proposal."

Li Xian knew too well what Empress Wu was like, how could he not know that his death was not going to let go of the current disaster, and he just wanted to avoid the important and light, so he didn't follow his intentions, so he replied with a smile.

"Uh-huh."

In the face of Li Xian's pressing step by step, the anger in the heart of the Empress Wu was almost uncontrollable, but Li Xian was not very faulty in terms of words or etiquette, and the Empress Wu couldn't find an excuse even if she wanted to be mad, so she had no choice but to say noncommittally, turned her face slightly, looked at Gaozong, and put on a posture of listening to Gaozong's clear judgment.

"Xian'er, now the disaster is very big, it must not be tricked, if there is a slight mistake, the disaster is fearful, Xian'er can bear it, I believe it, but the stakes are very high, but I am very concerned in my heart, Xian'er and the way to deal with it is good to listen to me?"

When Li Xian and Empress Wu collided before, Gaozong pinched a cold sweat for Li Xian, afraid that Li Xian would not be able to block the power of Empress Wu, if so, Gaozong had high hopes for the way of balance I was afraid that it would have to be ruined, but fortunately, Li Xian was hard to stand down, which made Gaozong slightly relieved, but he still had some doubts about Li Xian's disaster relief plan, and he did not dare to easily agree to Li Xian's request before he was not clear about Li Xian's hole cards, so he cautiously asked.

"So that my father knows that the reason why my son dares to speak up and take on this matter is precisely because of the strong support of the 'Deng Ji Firm' Deng Da shopkeeper, with his help, there is no need to worry about disaster relief, if my father does not believe it, he can be summoned to come, and he will know the root of it when he asks!"

Li Xian's heart is very big, he will never be polite when he can fish, he just asked for a reward for Lin Hu, and now he is trying to catch a copy for Deng Cheng, of course, this move is also to give a reasonable explanation for the upcoming fleet full of grain, so as to avoid those unnecessary troubles.

"Well, that's fine, then it's good to come and meet me."

Gaozong has received Confucian education since he was a child, and he has never looked down on businessmen, even if Deng Cheng's contribution is not small, Gaozong actually didn't pay much attention to it, and it is okay to praise him verbally, and he wants Gaozong to give him the opportunity to see the driver, but it is not what Gaozong wants to do, but Li Xian's face can not be ignored, Gaozong hesitated for a while, or decided to see this generous and righteous Deng Dashan person.

"Thank you for your grace."

Now that the goal has been achieved, Li Xian no longer talked nonsense, hurriedly thanked him, turned around and waved his hand, and the eunuchs of the East Palace who were waiting on the side answered the promise, and after a while, he had already accompanied Deng Cheng, who was dressed in green clothes, from the garden to come in.

"Grass people Deng Cheng knock to see His Majesty the Emperor, knock to see the Queen of Heaven!"

Deng Cheng is calm by nature, although it is the first time to see the driver, but the etiquette has already been guided by the people in the East Palace, since there is no slightest difference, this party has only marched into the garden, it has already rushed to the front of the royal car, respectfully bowed to the ground.

"The Qing family is even."

Although Gaozong didn't like to see the businessmen, firstly, Deng Cheng had made meritorious contributions to the siege before, and secondly, because of Li Xian's face, Gaozong would not show Deng Cheng's face, and raised his hand with a smile, and he had already called out.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long Grace, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Seeing driving is not a trivial matter, even if Deng Cheng has already been prepared, but when it comes to facing Gaozong, he still can't help but be a little nervous, although his face is still calm, but Xie En's voice trembled slightly, and his body standing bent couldn't help but tremble slightly,

"The Qing family doesn't need to be nervous, I summoned you to come, there are some things that the Qing family needs to explain, and just answer the truth."

Seeing that Deng Cheng was nervous, Gaozong couldn't help but be surprised, so he smiled and comforted him.

"The grass people will obey His Majesty's will, but there are those who know and those who do not answer."

Deng Cheng can value Li Xian so much, naturally he is not an ordinary person, after realizing that he is a little out of shape, he immediately took a deep breath, and forcibly pressed the nervousness in just a moment, and then bowed towards Gaozong, and replied very respectfully.

"Well, okay, Xian'er recommended Yu'er, saying that you have a good plan for disaster relief, can the Qing family say that you can listen to me?"

Seeing that Deng Cheng could stabilize his mind so quickly, Gaozong was really a little surprised in his heart, and glanced at him, then nodded approvingly, and said the intention of summoning Deng Cheng here.

"Your Majesty Mingjian, the grass people can not study, can only do business as a business, can get away with it, all rely on the grace of heaven, at this time of natural disasters, since I dare not forget the roots, the grass people have donated 6,000 stone of grain grain before the month, and now there are 2,700 stone of grain has been distributed one after another, or can be relieved for three days, five days later, the grass people's fleet will carry 88,000 stone will arrive in the eastern capital one after another, and another 138,000 stone will also go to Qingzhou, Pingzhou (near Qinhuangdao City) and other places by sea, enough to spend more than a month, or can cope with the rain season."

Deng Cheng quickly sorted out his thoughts, and then opened his mouth unhurriedly, and came out with the countermeasures that he had discussed with Li Xian in advance.

"Boom ......"

As soon as Deng Cheng's voice fell, all the ministers couldn't help but discuss it, forgetting that this was the king's front, not for anything else, just because the news was too shocking, more than 200,000 stone of grain, in normal times, it may not be a big deal, but at this time it is a great drought season, according to the current grain price, it is more than 400,000 yuan, and it can fill a large treasury with copper coins. And Deng Cheng actually donated it all in one go, which really shocked the courtiers.

"I really admire Aiqing for destroying his family for the country like this, but if it hurts the foundation of the Qing family, it is not what I want to see."

Although Gaozong is deep in the nine realms, he does not manage the government very much, but this time in order to deal with this great drought, it is not less sad, and he still has an understanding of the current food prices, at this time, when he heard that Deng Cheng donated so much food, he was happy that the disaster could be overcome, but he couldn't help but worry that Deng Cheng's business would suffer a heavy setback due to disaster relief.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, the wealth of the grass people is taken from the people, and it should be used for the people, even if the family wealth is scattered, but if you can share the worries for Your Majesty, it is the luck of the grass people!"

Although more than 400,000 yuan is a lot, but for the big business of the "Deng Ji business", it is not a big deal, besides, this money is actually Li Xian's, Li Xian will spend how he wants, what Deng Cheng did was just a borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, of course, Deng Cheng did not dare to say that it would come out at this time, so he could only respond to it with a passionate attitude.

"Aiqing has a heart, but I am a little reluctant not to go, well, I will seal the Qing family as the male of Kaicheng County, in order to reward the Qing family."

Gaozong was obviously moved by Deng Cheng's loyalty, but on how to repay Deng Cheng's loyalty, he couldn't help but hesitate a little, without it, according to Deng Cheng's merits, it was enough to seal the marquis, but he had just been crowned a merchant like Lin Hu in front of him, and if he was named a merchant as a marquis at this time, and spread it out, I am afraid that it would hinder the discussion, after all, the status of businessmen in the Tang Dynasty is still very low, Gaozong couldn't help but worry that he would be criticized, and after a moment of silence, It was decided to reduce Deng Cheng's title to the lowest rank of baron.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long Grace, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Although the title of the male of Kaicheng County is two levels lower than that of Lin Hu's Guannei Marquis, it is a real seal, in terms of value, it is not under the Guannei Marquis, this kind of reward is not insignificant, especially for a hopeless businessman in the officialdom, Deng Cheng was not very dissatisfied, and hurriedly fell to his knees and thanked him loudly.

"Well, Aiqing let's go down."

Such a great achievement, only gave such a small reward, Gaozong was still quite sorry in his heart, at this time seeing Deng Cheng excited and thanked, Gaozong was a little relieved, so he waved his hand and sent Deng Cheng away.

"Father, although the food for disaster relief is already there, but the quantity is only for the ear, if there is no planning, waste is inevitable, as the so-called workers want to do a good job, must first sharpen their tools, the son proposed to set up a disaster relief command center, one can allocate all the disaster relief materials, and supervise the matter, and the other can also take this opportunity to promote all kinds of overseas good varieties to benefit the people, the son is willing to take the lead for it, please ask the father for permission!"

In one day, Lin Hu and Deng Cheng's two confidants can be sealed, Li Xian is very satisfied, but those are not the main purpose of Li Xian's deployment, at this time, taking advantage of Gaozong's good mood, Li Xian once again put forward his political proposition, and put on a posture to get the right to participate in politics.

"Well, this matter, this matter is accurate!"

Gaozong's original intention was to support Li Xian, and he would not be reluctant, but he was afraid of Empress Wu's thoughts, so he hesitated slightly, peeked at Empress Wu's face, and saw that Empress Wu's expression was indifferent, and he didn't seem to have much objection, so he nodded and agreed.

"Son, thank you, Emperor Longen!"

After all kinds of deployments and hard work, and now he has finally successfully completed the scheduled strategic goals, Li Xian's heart is sweeter than drinking honey, and the voice of gratitude is loud and crisp......
