"Your Majesty, the minister requests to go and pass on His Royal Highness King Qi." Yin Hongji said.

Li Shimin knew that he was going to say hello to Li You first, so that Li You could prepare. Li Shimin also hoped that Li You would talk back after thinking about it, so he said, "Okay, you can go." ”

Yiyang Palace.

When Li You returned to the palace, he found Wang Liao to continue to study the cake, and he drew the pattern of the cake with a pen and explained the recipe to Wang Liao.

Yin Hongzhi hurried over, in order to give Li You a little more time to think. He entered the palace and came to Li You's dormitory, and when he saw the white tiger on duty outside from a distance, he shouted, "Where is your prince?" ”

Baihu said: "Uncle Guo, he is in the study." ”

Seeing Li You, Yin Hongzhi hurriedly told him what happened in the court and said, "Your Highness, what can you do if you don't have it?" ”

He desperately hoped that Li You would be able to resolve the matter so that Li You could stay in Chang'an.

Li You was not interested in these things, and he said, "I can't help it. These things have nothing to do with me, there are so many capable people in the court, why are you looking for me? ”

Yin Hongzhi said: "Oh, they can't help it, so they came to you." Hurry up, Your Majesty is still waiting for you to reply. ”

Li You said: "Otherwise, you will say that I am sick and can't go." ”

Yin Hongji said: "Are you fooling the ghost? I was still alive just now, sick fart! Hurry up, I'm here to deliver the message, don't hurt me for not being able to deliver. ”

Li You had no choice but to follow Yin Hongzhi to the court. On the way, he searched the local history of Kannai Province, which startled him. This year, the first rain did not fall until June 29 in the Guanzhong area, and the drought was extremely serious, with the death toll reaching 700,000 people.

The drought is also caused by man-made causes. Because of a light rain on March 3, everyone let their guard down. No one expected that the drought would continue until June 29, so that relief efforts would be ineffective.

Li Yousan's view is very positive, he doesn't want to care, this matter is too big and too troublesome. It's no good to manage it, but it's a little unbearable in my heart. He carefully studied the situation of the drought, saw a turning point, and decided to help.

After Li You left, Li Tai was worried that Li You really came up with some tricks, and the limelight would be stolen by him, so he thought about all the methods that Li You might think of, and hurriedly said it first, so that Li You could not show any talents.

He was just about to speak, when the crown prince Li Chengqian spoke, and he said: "Father, you care about the people, so embarrassed, your sons are dull, you can't share your worries, and your heart is sad." Erchen is willing to donate a year's money to make a modest contribution to disaster relief. ”

Li Tai was very depressed, and such a brilliant place was snatched away by Li Chengqian. He immediately said: "Father, son-in-law is also willing to donate two years of money to share the worries of my father." ”

Then, he said: "Ministers, at this time of crisis, please lend a helping hand to the people and relieve the worries of my father. ”

Seeing that the crown prince and the prince had done this, the ministers had no choice but to come out and say, "The ministers are willing to donate money for disaster relief." ”

Li Shimin was very moved, he said: "Everyone, you love Qing, your kind deeds show that Qing and others love the people's pure heart. With loyal ministers like you, why worry that my Datang can't be revitalized. I have decided that from this day forward, everything in the palace will be halved and the victims will be already. ”

"Your Majesty." All the ministers praised together.

Li You came to the main hall and did not speak. Li Tai preemptively said: "King Qi, drought relief, my father and all of us have donated to support, how much do you plan to donate?" "What he means is, don't mention the suggestion of donations, we've all thought of it.

Li You said: "I don't have any money, and I don't donate a penny. ”

At this time, it angered many people, Li Tai took the lead, the imperial historians followed, and the voices of impeachment were everywhere.

Li Shimin was not angry, he saw Li You's calm and relaxed appearance, he knew that this kid should have a way, he coughed, stopped the noise in the hall, and said: "King Qi, what do you think?" ”

Li You said: "Father, son-in-law oppose donations. ”

As soon as his voice fell, someone jumped up again. This time it's not the imperial historians, the bloody thing that just happened is still in front of them, and they don't have the courage to jump out and speak.

Li Tai was on a par with Li You, and he said, "King Qi, what do you mean?" The father and the ministers cut down on food and clothing, gave relief to the people, and loved the people. If you refuse to donate money yourself, and you don't let others donate, what kind of heart do you have, where do you put the people, where do you put the ministers, and where do you put your father and the emperor? ”

Li You felt that Li Tai was like a fly, which was really annoying. He rolled his eyes, his eyes turned to the sky, and he didn't say anything.

Li Tai thought that Li You had stopped him, and he became more and more proud, and he continued: "You pay attention to food every day, and you don't look at those disaster victims, they can't even eat, how pitiful." The father and the emperor and the ministers were full of sympathy, and would rather cut down on food and clothing than give relief to the people, but you are here to make a lot of nonsense, where is your conscience, you ......" His expression was sad, and he couldn't go on.

Li Tai's performance won the resonance of many ministers, and they expressed their admiration.

Li You calmly watched him perform, still not saying a word.

Li Shimin waited for Li You to come up with an idea, and when he saw him like this, he was also a little dissatisfied, and said, "King Qi, if you have any ideas, hurry up." ”

Li You still didn't say anything, and his eyes looked straight at Li Tai.

Wei Zheng came out and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Qi has his own ideas, please let him come calmly." ”

Li Shimin also noticed this problem and said: "King Qi is not allowed to interrupt him when he is talking. Then he said to Li You: "Okay, you can say it." ”

Li You said: "Thank you, Father." ”

He said: "Father, ministers, your heart is certainly commendable, but in the face of millions of people affected by the disaster, your donation is just a drop in the bucket, if my expectations are good, the disaster in Datang at this time is not only in the Guanzhong region, the upper reaches of the Yellow River are frozen and civilized, and the floods caused by the accumulation of ice are also happening at this time, right?" How useful is it to rely on this little money you donate? ”

Li Tai was anxious, all he could think of was this, and he was also supported by Li Shimin and the ministers, but he was denied by Li You, and he couldn't help but be angry. Ignoring Li Shimin's ban, he jumped out and said, "Then do you just watch the people suffer?" As a prince, shouldn't he do something for the people? ”

Li You had no choice but to shut up again, he looked up at the sky, took out a toffee from his arms, put it in his mouth, and tasted the sweet taste.

At this time, everyone in the hall could see that Li Tai had a problem.
