Chapter Seventy-Two: Panicked Wei Ting

Soon after the next dynasty, Shangshu's right servant Gao Shilian and Zhongshu Ling Yang Shidao each convened officials to mobilize everyone to donate food to support the prince's disaster relief, and the reason was actually what Li Chengqian said in the Liangyi Hall yesterday.

Wei Ting watched Gao Shilian impassionedly say to everyone that he wanted to ensure the stability of the East Palace and the peace of the Tang Dynasty, even if he fought this old bone, he would help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to relieve the disaster, and he felt chills all over.

In this case, if it weren't for Li Shimin's personal instruction, how could Gao Shilian, who has always been cautious, dare to say it, would His Majesty would rather tarnish his reputation than help Li Chengqian?

Wei Ting already had the answer to this question in his heart, but he didn't want to believe it, but he couldn't deceive himself if he didn't want to believe it.

What's more, this is a matter related to his net worth, thinking about the ending of Liu Xun and Du Chuke makes Wei Ting shudder, and he has done far more than these two, if the matter is leaked, Li Shimin will not be able to let him go without Li Chengqian's action.

Things have come to this point, so Wei Ting has to plan for the worst.

Wei Ting wandered around the yamen absentmindedly for a day, and when he was about to get off duty, he quietly sent someone to ask Cui Renshi to go to his house to drink.

Cui Renshi saw that Li Shimin had completely changed his attitude towards Li Chengqian, and he was also frightened by the six gods, and as soon as he heard Wei Ting's beckoning, he hurriedly left the yamen and went to Wei's mansion.

When Cui Renshi arrived at Wei Mansion, he was taken directly by the housekeeper of Wei Mansion to a small study in the back garden of Wei Mansion.

Wei Ting prepared wine and food in the small study, and when he saw Cui Renshi arrive, he hurriedly got up to greet him, and the two of them sat down after a courtesy, and the housekeeper went out to guard the door.

The two sat opposite each other, silent for a long time and didn't know what to say.

In the end, it was Wei Ting who started first and said: "Brother Cui has also seen what happened to the court today, I don't know how Brother Cui feels?"

Cui Renshi, who has always prided himself as a wise man, was tired of hearing Wei Ting's temptation of him, and frowned and said, "What does Brother Wei think?"

"Alas!" Wei Ting sighed before speaking, then looked up at Master Cui Ren and said, "I didn't expect that person to be so clever in buying people's hearts!" ”

Cui Renshi smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Why does Brother Wei regret it now?"

"Regrets?" Wei Ting repeated, paused for a while and said with a wry smile on his face: "Brother Cui, is it too late for me to regret it?"

"With that person's mental means, I'm afraid that you and I won't end up better than Liu Xun!" Cui Renshi's voice was full of helplessness.

"Yes! If you die, you have to be convicted, and the filial son was beheaded in front of the coffin, what a tragic scene this is, and the determination of the person who does things is really the best in the past and the present. Wei Ting gritted his teeth and said.

Cui Renshi saw that Wei Ting was moved by his true feelings, picked up the wine glass on the table, raised his neck and drank it dry, put the cup on the table and said, "I heard that Cen Zhongshu cried bitterly in front of Liu Xun's grave that day, but what can I do?"

Isn't the tombstone still erected?

Now that even His Majesty has changed his mind, we are powerless. ”

Wei Ting saw that Master Cui Renshi had taken off his guard, and immediately whispered tentatively: "Are we waiting for that person to take revenge?"

Cui Renshi was shocked when he heard this, but when he thought about it, he was dead, and he saw what Wei Ting's plans were.

Cui Renshi pretended not to understand what Wei Ting meant, and asked in a low voice: "Could it be that Brother Wei has any other way to make His Majesty change his mind and bring Donglai County back to life?"

Wei Ting snorted coldly when he heard this: "Why does Brother Cui ask knowingly, if you expect Your Majesty to change your mind with that trick, I am afraid that the king of Donglai County will never come out." ”

Cui Renshi finally determined what Wei Ting was going to do, squinted his eyes and lowered his voice: "Brother Wei wants to follow His Majesty's example, but there are generals who can use it?"

Wei Ting smiled confidently when he heard this: "Wealth and wealth are in danger, as long as there are enough benefits, there are naturally people who are willing to die." ”

When Cui Renshi heard this, his heart stirred up turbulent waves, and after a while, he said: "If this is the case, Cui is willing to share the right path with Brother Wei." ”

"Good!" Wei Ting solemnly raised his wine glass, and the two drank a glass of wine to each other.

--------------------

Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace in the morning, ate some gruel, and slept in the hot and fragrant quilt prepared by the crown princess, and slept until noon.

The victims of the disaster in the city have registered their household registration in Wannian and Chang'an counties, and they also have the help of the officials of the two counties in terms of management, and Li Chengqian only needs to arrange food for them, but the disaster victims outside the city are different, these people are basically three no-ones, and they must re-register their household registration and make arrangements for staying after they go and stay.

Li Chengqian listened to it and thought that it seems that Li Shimin can become famous in history, and it is not all about luck, at least the ban on carp will be solved, and he does have a heart of love for the people, but now the ministers of the DPRK and the central government do not understand the economy and people's livelihood, and it seems that some things can be discussed with him in the future.

As for allowing him to ride a car and horse in the palace, Li Chengqian didn't care, he already had the privilege of riding in the palace, and he himself drove in yesterday, so it would be too hypocritical to go up and resign at this time.

directly ordered someone to write a thank you song, which can be regarded as receiving Li Shimin's special purpose.

When Li Chengqian came to the outside of the city, he saw that a tent had been erected for him on the edge of the city wall, so he went in directly.

After a while, Yan Shigu, who was staying here today, came to see Li Chengqian and reported to Li Chengqian on the arrangements for the day.

According to Li Chengqian's arrangement yesterday, half of the elite laborers were resting here last night, and they only went out to fish during the day today.

Originally, Li Chengqian, Xu Jingzong, and the guards of the East Palace returned to the East Palace this morning, and Hao Chujun planned to continue to keep an eye on the victims here to fish.

However, Su Dingfang and Yan Shigu were very moved when they heard that Li Chengqian had taken the victims fishing all night, and that Hao Chujun had not slept for a day and a night and continued to stare at the victims fishing, so they were busy leaving other things behind and riding out of the city to replace Hao Chujun.

So Su Dingfang took another group of victims to Weishui to fish, while Yan Shigu stayed outside the city to watch the victims continue to build shacks.

Li Cheng was quite moved to see that the ministers of the East Palace could consciously take responsibility, but the talent of the East Palace was more and more obvious.

Su Dingfang, Yan Shigu and Xue Rengui are not in governing the people, Pei Xingjian and Wang Fangyi are still young, that is, Hao Chujun and Xu Jingzong belong to the golden oil type, they can be used anywhere, but if you want to do one thing well, you also need a character who can stand alone.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian decided to wait for the next few days to recruit some talents.

"Thank you Mr. Yan, let's arrange for them to start registering!"

"Obey the order!" Yan Shigu went out to arrange.

Soon after Li Chengqian came to the outside of the city, Gao Shilian brought people to send 20 carts of grain, and then Yang Shidao also brought people to send 17 carts of grain, and then there were ministers such as the eldest grandson Wuji who were idle at home to deliver grain to the victims.

At this time, Li Chengqian knew that Li Shimin really ordered the minister to raise donations for him to donate disaster relief food, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said secretly: I used to underestimate Li Shimin.
