"The queen mother can rest assured that the child is bold and has the corresponding certainty, and if things are not harmonious, the child should admit his guilt."

Li Xian had already calculated all aspects, but he was not afraid of the pressure and difficulties of the martial queen, raised his eyebrows, and replied categorically.

"Okay, there is Xian'er's words, this banquet is decided, let's go, when will the banquet start?"

Gaozong only cared about whether he could save the disaster at this time, but as for the rest, he didn't think so much, when he heard that Li Xian dared to pack the ticket, he was very energetic, and he didn't give Empress Wu a chance to speak again, and he patted a few shots, and excitedly agreed to Li Xian's request.

"Just tomorrow, the child is also going to invite all the ministers and scholars in the court to witness this incident, and I am willing to ask my father and mother for permission."

Li Xian didn't look at Empress Wu's gloomy face that could almost drip water, and pleaded again while the iron was hot.

"Well, yes, I'm done!"

Gojong didn't talk much nonsense and gave a promise straightforwardly.

"Thank you to Father Longen, the child will retire first."

Seeing that the matter had been completed, Li Xian was unwilling to delay any longer, so he stood up, bowed down, and said goodbye.

"Well, let's go."

As long as the current crisis can be solved, Gaozong is already satisfied, and he doesn't want to see the mother and son of Empress Wu and Li Xian too angry, even if Gaozong wants to see the mother and son form a stable balance in the court, but it is not what Gaozong wants.

"Thank you, Father."

The fight that should be fought, the fight that should be fought, and it is okay to play with the sleeves, but if it is to the place where the shrew scolds the street, then Li Xian is not sensitive, and what he should get has already been caught, Li Xian is too lazy to be angry with the Empress Wu, and after bowing down and thanking him, he immediately turned around and withdrew from the room and went back to the East Palace by himself.

"Your Majesty, disaster relief is a social matter, how can you ignore it so lightly, if it provokes a joke, won't you laugh at the Fang family."

For Li Xian's sudden invitation, the more Empress Wu thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and she was unwilling to go to the appointment, but this decision was made by Gaozong, but she was not good at directly opposing it, and when she was thinking about countermeasures, Li Xian had already left, and Empress Wu was unwilling, so she complained in front of Gaozong.

"Well, Mei Niang said the same, it's just that it's rare to show filial piety, let him try, but what's the matter, don't talk about it first."

Gaozong didn't hear the meaning of Empress Wu's words, thinking that Empress Wu was really worried about Li Xian's move, and he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart, and after frowning slightly and thinking about it, he still planned to go to the banquet, but he decided to keep the disaster relief that Li Xian said secret.

"It's so ......, let's take a look first."

As soon as she heard Gaozong say this, Empress Wu couldn't speak again, so she could only reluctantly agree with Gaozong's opinion, but at the moment when she bowed her head, a trace of essence flashed in her eyes......

"Do you know, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will open the warehouse tomorrow to release grain, just at noon!"

"Really? It can't be a lie, right? ”

"How can it be, the government has spread that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has received the holy decree, and the grain will be released at noon tomorrow, and the people in Xicheng are rushing to Nancheng at this time."

"That dare is true, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really a great sage, don't dare to miss it tomorrow!"

"Yes, yes, go together, go together!"

……

The fastest in the world is not the horse, nor the wind, but the rumors, although Gaozong has issued a gag order, not allowing the palace people to mention Li Xian's disaster relief, but for some reason, the news still spreads and goes, the more and more crazy it is, countless victims in the city are crowded to the south of the city where the imperial city is located, and the four gates of Luoyang, which should have been screened, have somehow all been released, allowing the victims from all over the city to pour into the city, and there is only one goal, that is, the east palace where the prince is located, it has not yet reached sunset, It's getting bigger and bigger.

"Your Highness, the refugees from Dongcheng are gathering to the south of the city, and the number is estimated to have reached more than 30,000."

"Your Highness, the refugees from Xicheng are frantically coming, and the number has exceeded 30,000!"

"Your Highness, South Street is already crowded with disaster victims, and the number is still increasing!"

……

With the emergence of the refugee tide, the huge "Mingdi" system has been running at full capacity, monitoring every move of the refugee tide, the news has been transmitted back one after another, under the grim situation, the atmosphere in the study of the East Palace has been a faction of depression, Zhang Cambodia, Zhuang Yong and others are all very dignified, their eyes are full of worry that can not be concealed, only Li Xian's face is as calm as water, quietly sitting behind the copy, quietly listening to the reports of various sentinels.

Angry? There is a little, but definitely not much, although he knows that behind this matter must be the Empress Wu is making trouble, but Li Xian will never focus on useless emotional catharsis, there is that time to go crazy, it is better to concentrate on dealing with the difficulties in front of him, Li Xian thinks so, and he is doing so, the problem is that it is not a simple thing to get by, just because the victims are already desperate, and if one is not handled well, it is very likely to cause a monstrous disaster, then Li Xianke will really become a sinner in the society.

"Deng Cheng, how much grain is there in the business that can be mobilized?"

In the face of the victims who are waiting to be fed, it is categorically impossible to persuade by explanation alone, and the same is true of empty promises, so far, if you don't come up with some dry goods, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have a chance to mediate, this Li Xian has a lot of money in his heart, so even if he knows that the "Deng Ji Firm" has donated a large amount of grain not long ago, Li Xian still has to stretch out his hand to the firm again.

"If you go back to Your Highness, after deducting the daily rice of the business guys, there are only less than two thousand seven hundred stones left."

Although he had long expected that Li Xian would stretch out his hand to the business again, when it was time for Li Xian to ask, Deng Cheng's face couldn't help but feel bitter, and he replied a little helplessly.

"Hmm......"

Two thousand seven hundred stones is 324,000 catties, which sounds like a lot, and when piled up, it is enough to fill a huge warehouse, but for more than 200,000 victims, even if they are saved, it is just two or three days' use, just such a little grain, it is obviously far from enough to deal with such a serious disaster.

"Your Highness, there should still be some grain in the household department, if you can move some out first, you may be able to meet the arrival of the fleet."

Seeing that Li Xian was so embarrassed, he knew that there was little hope, but Zhuang Yong still tentatively proposed.

"Tobe? Don't count on that end, even if you go to the palace, you will need a hundred stones at most, and it won't be of much use. ”

Li Xian knew that there was still some surplus grain in the household, but the grain was not much, and it was all in the hands of the Empress Wu, if you want to count on the Empress Wu's grace, it is better to expect the sow to go to the tree to be more realistic - although this disaster came suddenly, but there is a memory of the previous life, Li Xian has already predicted it, in fact, as early as a few months ago, Li Xian has made a lot of secret arrangements for this matter, in order to take this opportunity to cut into the court in one fell swoop, at this time, there are several "Deng Ji firms" The fleet is rushing along the canal and the coastline to the east and Jiaozhou, but as soon as the fleet arrives, the disaster can be alleviated immediately, but the plan is not able to catch up with the rapid change, Li Xian never expected that the Empress Wu would dare to take the risk of forcing the anti-disaster people, at this time to give himself such a trick to lead the water to the east, so that the arrival time of the fleet is a little unable to catch up, in this case, if you want to tide over the difficulties, you have to find another way, as for the food from the Wuhou this frenzied troubled sailor, It's really not the slightest possibility.

"Chief Zhuang, can you urge the fleet again and speed up the voyage?"

Although Li Xian did not explain why he could not get grain from the household department, Zhang Cambodia knew it very well, and seeing that the official road could not be passed, he had to turn his mind back to the fleets under the control of "Ming Di".

"Mr. Hao learned that his subordinates had passed the order, but the nearest fleet was still more than 130 miles away from the Eastern Capital, and it was day and night, and it would take five days to arrive at the earliest."

Zhuang Yong has already done what he should do, and at this time, no matter how capable Zhuang Yong is, but he can't think about it, in the face of Zhang Cambodia's inquiry, Zhuang Yong can only smile bitterly.

Two days, it's just two days, it's really not a long time, it's gone in the blink of an eye, the problem is that the victims can't afford to wait, if the disaster relief is halfway through, and suddenly there is no food, the consequences are unimaginable, if the victims really make trouble, the whole East is afraid that there will be a big chaos, Li Xian really doesn't dare to imagine such a riot/chaos scene.

careless, it's really a bit careless, Li Xian didn't calculate that the martial arts queen would be crazy to such a point, for his own selfish interests, he dared to risk the disapproval of the overthrow of the society, it was really heartbroken and crazy to the extreme! As soon as he thought of this, Li Xian really wanted to chop the old thief alive with a knife, but he was angry and angry, but he couldn't use it to solve the practical problem in front of him, and how to start it made Li Xian have a headache.

"Deng Cheng, immediately contact the major families in the city, buy grain at all costs, this matter is fully cooperated by Zhuang Zongrudor, if there is a hoarder who does not sell the grain, don't pay attention to it, report to the palace first, and the palace will give him an explanation!"

A headache is a headache, but time waits for no one, Li Xian didn't dare to hesitate any longer, his face was solemn, and he gave the order coldly.

"No!"

Since Li Xian had already made a decision, the group of people did not dare to slack off a little, bowed in unison, and dispersed......

With a few bells, the gates of the imperial city have been closed, it is time to drop the key, but the Empress Wu did not go to rest, still sitting behind a few folds, but not as busy as in the past, but sat quietly still, as if in a daze, then a burst of footsteps outside the hall just sounded, the Empress Wu's eyes were already swept over quickly, and there was a faint essence in her eyes shining, It wasn't until he saw that the person who turned out from behind the screen was the eunuch Cheng Denggao, that the sharp light in the eyes of the Empress Wu subsided slightly, but he didn't ask a question, but raised his eyebrows and put on an inquiring expression.

"Qi Yu Niangniang, everything has been arranged according to your instructions."

Cheng Denggao knew what Empress Wu was going to ask, so he hurriedly trotted to the front and whispered.

"Well, let's go down."

Empress Wu obviously had great trust in Cheng Denggao's ability to do things, and did not ask about the specific situation, but just quietly commanded and sent Cheng Denggao out, but after sitting in a daze for a while, he breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been released, stood up, walked to the east window, and looked in the direction of the East Palace with a calm expression......
