Chapter 28 Li Ke who is not calm
Pei Xingjian took out the account books and registered them one by one, looking at these officials one by one like mothers, he was secretly refreshed, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still smart.
After counting the amount of grain pledged by all the officials, the account book was sent to Li Chengqian.
"How many are you?" Li Chengqian didn't look at it.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand seven hundred stones," Pei Xingjian calculated.
"So much?" Li Chengqian didn't expect these people to be quite generous.
Li Tai really wants to say that it is too much, I will donate less!
At this time, the Chang'an region allocated 300,000 stone of grain from Caijiangnan every year to be used as military food or Fenglu, and the rest were self-sufficient. There is definitely not much grain in the hands of the common people, and the bumper harvest for several years in a row has hurt the farmers, so the people will grow less grain and more mulberry hemp in the fields in the past two years.
Even if this grain is purchased from the entire Guanzhong region, it will definitely cause a sharp rise in grain prices in a year of great disaster.
Thinking about this, Li Chengqian got up and said in an unquestioning tone: "This grain is indeed a lot, so you can't buy grain in Guanzhong, you have to go to Jiangnan to buy grain and transport it back to Chang'an, and then send it to the East Palace." ā
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forgives his ministers, and it is really difficult to obey his fate!" Li Tai stood up and came back with a hard top.
"King Wei, you don't want to repay the debt, do you?" Li Chengqian looked at Li Tai with a smile.
Li Tai's face turned red when he heard this, "Iā, my brother is sending food!" ā
The meaning is very clear, it doesn't matter where I buy food from.
"In the year of the catastrophe, you buy so much grain at once, it will inevitably cause the price of food to soar, and when natural and man-made disasters break out together, I am afraid that the people of the world will want your head." Li Chengqian reminded coldly.
In a flash of thought just now, Li Chengqian really wanted Li Tai to buy grain in Guanzhong, and when something happened at that time, the responsibility was on him. But thinking that it might cause a situation full of mourning, I still gave up.
Everyone in the hall except for Li Su is basically a smart person, and after being reminded by Li Chengqian, they all understand the truth.
King Wei and his party all lamented in their hearts, this His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really smart and wise, but he has not shown anything in his heart over the years, and for the first time they have doubts about whether King Wei can enter the East Palace.
What should be said has been said, what should be done has been done, Li Chengqian has no heart to be here anymore.
"I drank a little too much today, the third child will send the lonely king back to the East Palace!" Li Chengqian said seemingly casually.
Li Tai was shocked, the prince is trying to win over King Wu? But then I figured it out, and said in my heart, a fool is a fool, and you can't give him the East Palace, how can you bring him to your side?
Li Chengqian, you idiot, after being the prince for so many years, you have let King Wu live all the time, even if I, Li Tai, don't fight with you, can you keep the East Palace?
Li Ke didn't want to get close to Li Chengqian, but in front of so many people, he really didn't dare not give Li Chengqian face, looking at the faces of Li Tai and his henchmen, he knew that Li Chengqian was by no means a fuel-efficient lamp.
Li Ke felt awkward in his heart, and said respectfully on his face: "The younger brother should escort His Royal Highness the Prince!" Then he walked up and helped Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian took a small chariot all the way out of the Furong Garden, and when he changed to the car, Li Chengqian directly pulled Li Ke into the car.
Li Chengqian sat in the car and looked at Li Ke with drunken eyes, Li Ke was known for his handsome and resolute attitude in history, and he had no intention of seizing the heir, but in the end he died unjustly.
Li Chengqian could see that Li Ke had his pride and careful thinking, and he might not believe himself, so he didn't say anything, just let the car turn around and go to Zheng Guogong Wei Zhengfu.
Li Chengqian dragged Li Ke to the Zhengguo Mansion, and Wei Shuyu and Li Anran welcomed them in.
Wei Zheng has been bedridden for more than a month, Li Chengqian took Li Ke directly to Wei Zheng's bedroom, Wei Zheng heard someone coming in, and raised his head slightly.
Li Chengqian looked at his face that was almost thin as a skeleton, and was startled, how strong-willed a person is to live to such a point, thinking that Wei Zheng was still working hard for the future of his prince and the Tang Dynasty these days, his eyes were a little moist.
"Cheng Qian has seen Zheng Guogong!" Li Chengqian bowed solemnly to Wei Zheng on the bed.
Li Ke glanced at Li Chengqian in surprise, and also saluted Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng's eyes couldn't see, and when he heard Li Chengqian saluting, he was busy arguing to return the salute, Li Chengqian hurriedly pressed him forward and said, "Zheng Guogong is not in good health, don't move, don't speak, the lonely king will leave after saying a few words." ā
Wei Zheng knew that Li Chengqian had something to say to him, so he quieted down.
"The heavy snow outside has been falling for a day and a night, and there is no intention to stop, it may cause a heavy snow disaster, the lonely king called Hanako today, and asked for more than 200,000 stone of grain from Li Tai and his henchmen, and should be able to survive this crisis."
Li Ke said in his heart: Is there such a strong person called Huazi?
"But the heavy snow seals the road, the father is not in the capital, I am afraid that some people will be restless, and the lonely king will use some means to protect the peace of Chang'an City."
"Well, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is thoughtful, the old minister is very relieved,āā if there is anything that the old minister needs to do, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just says,āā old minister, the old minister has to do ...... hard." Wei Zheng gasped three times after saying these words.
"It's not that I want to ask Zheng Guogong to do anything, it's just that King Gu is a little worried and has nowhere to talk, so I'm here to talk to you."
Wei Zheng: "Huh?"
Li Ke had doubts in his heart, and said secretly, could it be that Li Chengqian wanted to impress me with sincerity, it would be ridiculous. Seeing through Li Chengqian's thoughts, Li Ke sat there more and more calmly.
"When the queen mother left, I was asked to stay in the East Palace, saying that as long as I hid behind my father.
The Lone King has also done this over the years, but as the Lone King gets older, his father still feels the pressure, so he leaves Li Tai to contain the Lone King.
Originally, there was nothing about these emperors' mental tricks, but you made a bad start, and you gave direct advice every day, making your father think that as long as you listen to direct advice, you can rule the country and level the world, and you can still leave a good reputation. Well, now my father is surrounded by some literary scholars who can give direct advice, these people are not capable of being local officials, and second, they do not have the ability to lead troops to fight, just because they can give advice in front of their father in a different way with the words in the ancient books, they can become high-ranking officials such as the prime minister of Shangshu.
As soon as such an atmosphere opens, who will be willing to fight desperately abroad in the future, and who will still be willing to make political achievements in the local area in a down-to-earth manner?
Forget it, it's hateful that these people don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and they want to shake the East Palace with their father's blue eyes, and push Li Tai into the East Palace. ā
Li Ke thought to himself, sure enough, you still hate these, and your brothers who are provoked by others kill each other!
Li Chengqian paused and continued: "If he, Li Tai, can really sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince, the lonely king doesn't care, it's a big deal that the lonely king goes to sea with his family."
However, only the second child of Fang Xuanling's family followed him, so Fang Xuanling swayed from side to side, and no one else supported him, after all, no one looked down on the lucky villain around him.
Not to mention the generals, the group of people around him is the nemesis of the generals, which general will go up to him?
At this point, he still wanted to kill the lonely king, the third and the third, and the nineth, he didn't know that the eldest grandson Wuji had already been laying out and pushing the old nine into the East Palace, as long as the old nine entered the East Palace, neither he nor the third would survive, and the old nine was incompetent in this world, and the eldest grandson Wuji would be in the world. ā
"Huh?" Wei Zheng let out a puzzled voice, and quickly continued: "His Royal Highness the Prince's eyes are like torches!" ā
"Ahh Li Ke couldn't calm down anymore.
