Chapter 150: Dare to be arrogant when you are dying
Li Chengqian saw that the mood of the villagers had finally stabilized, so he continued to speak: "Fellow villagers, this king assures you today. These two corrupt officials will definitely be severely punished. ”
"And the porridge shed will be reopened to ensure that the villagers can eat real porridge. Instead of washing rice water without rice soup only for rice soup. ”
Hearing Li Chengqian's words, the victims instantly fell to their knees. To Li Chengqian, that is a thousand thanks.
This is someone who said: "Folks, since His Royal Highness King Xian is in charge of us. Let's hurry up and send this grain back to the treasury, which can be regarded as our atonement for what we just did. ”
Then everyone took back the grain scattered on the ground into the granary one by one. Then they dispersed in twos and threes and returned to the resettlement site for the victims.
……
"I'll just say it's easy to do with this kid. See, this kid is always capable of turning the tide at critical moments. Cheng Yanjin, who was not far away, said to the eldest grandson Wuji with a smile.
"Today's problems are solved, but what about tomorrow's problems?" Gongsun Wuji shook his head and said.
"Now that there is food, corrupt officials have been arrested. What is there to worry about tomorrow? Cheng Yanjin asked puzzled.
"I'm afraid that there is no grain left in the treasury of this Bianzhou Mansion, and even a hundred percent of it has been allocated by the imperial court. What did you ask him to give to the victims? Eldest Sun Wuji said.
Just when the two were chatting, someone said behind the two of them: "It turns out that the two princes secretly entered Bianzhou, but the old slave and I can find it for a while." ”
It was none other than Li Shimin's personal eunuch Wang De.
Seeing Wang De behind him, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but ask curiously: "You are not in Chang'an City to serve the emperor, what are you doing in Bianzhou?" ”
"Lu Guogong doesn't know that the old slave came to Bianzhou this time to send a holy decree to His Royal Highness King Xian." Wang De pointed to the holy decree in his hand and said.
"It turns out that the emperor also knows that this kid is coming to Bianzhou. But I don't know what this decree says. Cheng Yanjin asked Wang De with a smile.
"It's better for the two princes and the old slave to go together to announce the decree to His Royal Highness King Xian, and then the two princes will know what the holy decree says." Wang De said with a smile to Cheng Yanjin and the eldest grandson Wuji.
"Princess, don't worry, let's see how His Royal Highness King Xian is going to deal with these two guys." The eldest grandson Wuji waved his hand and said to Wang De.
……
Li Chengqian didn't know that there were several pairs of eyes staring at him secretly. Now he is being tried in public, Lu Qinghong, the assassin of Bianzhou, and Li Wenzhi, the governor of Bianzhou.
I only heard Li Chengqian speak: "In order to relieve the victims, my father did not hesitate to make the harem tighten his clothes and food. But you have filled your pockets with the money and food for disaster relief. ”
"Please also ask His Royal Highness King Xian not to impose charges. We did not touch a single grain of relief food allocated by the emperor, and in order to save the victims from famine, we did not hesitate to contribute all the food stored at home. ”
"All this is recorded, and His Royal Highness King Xian can send someone to check it out. If the subordinate official has half a lie, he is willing to be punished by death. Lu Qinghong opened his mouth and said to Li Chengqian.
"It seems that this king is wrong to blame you, you are such a loyal servant. It's just that this king doesn't understand something, and he asked Lu Tingshi to explain to this king. Li Chengqian said with a sneer.
"As long as the lower officials know, they will say everything about it." Lu Qinghong said to Li Chengqian with a calm face.
"Since all the relief food allocated by your father has been used by you for the disaster victims. He also contributed the surplus food at home. ”
"But why don't the people see a grain of rice in the porridge they drink?" Li Chengqian opened his mouth and asked Lu Qinghong.
"His Royal Highness King Xian is not a family and does not know the price of firewood and rice, and now there are tens of thousands of victims in Bianzhou City alone."
"The relief food allocated by the emperor is just a drop in the bucket." Lu Qinghong said bitterly.
"Your Royal Highness, don't listen to this corrupt official. Since the Yellow River Jedi, we, the common people, have not seen much grain in the porridge. A gray-haired old man shouted at Li Chengqian.
"This old man doesn't have to be excited, in fact, this king has already arrived in this Bianzhou City. Since the establishment of the porridge shed to help the victims, Wang has stayed in the city of Bianzhou. Li Chengqian said.
"Since His Royal Highness King Xian has been in Bianzhou City for a long time, he should know how serious the disaster in Bianzhou City has been during this time."
"We have done our best for the imperial court, and we have been working hard to provide disaster relief. Therefore, His Royal Highness King Xian must not listen to rumors and let us loyal ministers be wronged. Lu Qinghong opened his mouth and said to Li Chengqian.
"Hahaha, if you Lu Qinghong are loyal, I'm afraid there will be no traitors in this world. Today, the king will tell you the truth, and the evidence of the sins you have committed these days is in his complete possession. ”
"The king of tomorrow will put you to death in front of the people. Let the people see the court's determination to deal with you moths. Li Chengqian, you said with a smile.
"His Royal Highness King Xian, I don't know that you came to Bianzhou City to serve the emperor's holy decree?" Lu Qinghong asked Li Chengqian without changing his face.
"Even if this king does not have the holy decree of his father, he can still bring you, a corrupt official who harmed one side, to justice in front of the people." Li Chengqian said.
"Don't say that you don't have the emperor's decree in your hands, what if I count as if you have the emperor's decree in your hands. I, Li Qinghong, am a dignified official of the imperial court. ”
"Don't say that these people are framing their own officials. It can be regarded as the official who really committed the crime of killing the head. I'm afraid you don't have the right to dispose of your own officials. Lu Qinghong said to Li Chengqian with a disdainful expression.
"It seems that you really don't know much about this king. If this king is not mistaken, you should be a side branch of the Fan Yang Lu family. Li Chengqian said with a playful expression.
"Yes, this official is a member of the Fan Yang Lu family. And Li Dudu is a member of the Li family of Zhao County, do you think you can easily execute us? Lu Qinghong's face was endlessly arrogant.
"I think you should have heard of how Wang Wen died." Li Chengqian opened his mouth and said to Lu Qinghong.
"This official has naturally heard of this, and it seems that because of this incident, His Royal Highness King Xian lost the position of the crown prince."
"If His Royal Highness King Xian is still so reckless today, I'm afraid that even this throne will not be guaranteed." The corners of Lu Qinghong's mouth seemed to rise, and he said contemptuously to Li Chengqian.
At the same time, Li Wenzhi also shouted: "Come on, invite His Royal Highness King Xian to the governor's mansion to rest." ”
Hearing Li Wenzhi's order, the soldiers of the Bianzhou Prefecture were eager to try. He was ready to step forward and invite Li Chengqian to the Governor's Mansion.
At this time, Li Chengqian laughed and said: "Hahaha, it is really arrogant. Xue Rengui and Zhao Tingxuan listened to the order, if anyone dared to step forward and kill him, there would be no forgiveness. ”
