Outside the city of Chang'an.

Under the gloomy sky, the remnants of snow reflected a black white light, and the chill was evaporated.

A few crows stood on a few deciduous dead trees not far away, patiently staring at the place where the shacks were being built, and from time to time they made a few "quack" sounds.

Li Chengqian was distraught when he heard this, and looked over there angrily.

Xue Rengui saw it and silently picked up his bow and arrow.

"Whoosh" sounded three times in a row, and three crows fell to the ground.

"Quack, quack, ......" screamed, and the other crows flapped their wings and flew away.

The guards around Li Chengqian couldn't help but applaud excitedly when they saw Xue Rengui's magic archery skills, Xue Rengui hurriedly raised his hand and pressed it to signal everyone not to make a sound, and then peeked at Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian felt a little unbearable in his heart, I don't know what was going on, although he crossed over to become the crown prince, his temper did not change much, just like in his previous life.

In his previous life, he was extremely disgusted with those who were trying to show superiority with a little bit of power.

For example, in his previous life, he led a project leader, and he usually couldn't live in the company, but once he even pointed fingers at a colleague in the WeChat circle of friends to carry out life education.

Although the person in charge had no bad intentions, and the colleague's performance was indeed not good, he was still extremely disgusted by this, and directly replied to the circle of friends and then blocked the other party.

At the same time, he was also afraid that others would talk to him, especially if someone was talking to him cautiously in front of him, so when he first crossed over, he was extremely worried that the old ghost was a spy who was intentionally buried next to Li Chengqian, and he deliberately embarrassed the old ghost several times, but every time he saw the ugliness on his fat face, he stopped because he couldn't bear it.

Xue Rengui is the general in his heart, and he doesn't want to see Xue Rengui look at him.

"Rengui, the Lone King knows that you have great ambitions, and he also knows that you have the ability to be a general, and now leaving you by the Lone King is really that there is no one available by the Lone King's side, so he can only wronged you for a few days. You just need to take care of the safety of the lonely king, and you don't need to look at your face. Li Chengqian looked at Xue Rengui's eyes and said sincerely.

Xue Rengui's eyes were red when he heard this, this is treating him as a countryman!

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not give up and pull Rengui from the reckless Jane into the East Palace to serve, not to mention that being a guard for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is leading the horse and falling off, Rengui will also repay His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with his death." Xue Rengui solemnly knelt down on his knees and finished this paragraph categorically before letting Li Chengqian help him up.

Li Chengqian helped Xue Rengui up and corrected him solemnly: "The Lone King recruited you to serve the country, not for the Lone King alone, you wrote it down." ”

"The minister has written it down!" Xue Rengui also said solemnly.

Everyone around me was a little puzzled when they heard it, wouldn't serving the crown prince serve the country?

However, everyone knows that Li Chengqian is in a bad mood now, and he doesn't dare to ask more.

Li Chengqian was both sad and angry when he looked at the victims who had eaten a full meal and were building shacks in full swing, because the full meal before noon was made by Li Chengqian after he scavenged the grain in Changping Warehouse in Chang'an County and Wannian County.

Li Chengqian sent people to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to transfer grain for disaster relief, but the Ministry of Civil Affairs went so far as to say that there was no food, and Li Chengqian did not know who had given them the courage to perfunctory him.

directly sent Hao Chujun to arrest people, but he hasn't come back yet.

When Li Chengqian was upset, the old ghost came over and whispered: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been standing outside for a long time, let's take a rest in the car." ”

Li Chengqian glanced at the old ghost and let him help him into the carriage.

Soon after Li Chengqian entered the horse, he heard Hao Chujun say outside: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Du Zisheng of the Household Department Kurabe Langzhong brought it." ”

Li Chengqian rushed up when he heard the anger, but he still sat in the carriage and didn't move, but said lightly: "Thank you for your hard work." Hearing this, Hao Chujun stepped aside.

"Du Zisheng, who gave you the courage to frame the Lone King?" Li Chengqian sat in Mali and asked coldly.

Du Zisheng was forcibly taken out of the city by Hao Chujun, and originally wanted to wait for Li Chengqian to get out of the car and see him again, but he didn't want Li Chengqian to even open the curtain, so he asked directly in the car, and he couldn't help but be angry.

Perfunctory arched his hand and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is laughing, how dare a small official of Weichen frame His Highness?"

Although Li Chengqian didn't see his movements, he could also hear the disrespect in his tone.

"Then why didn't you give food to the victims outside the city?" Li Chengqian's voice was already an octave higher than just now.

"There is no food in the warehouse, where can the ministers conjure up food for His Royal Highness the Prince?" Du Zisheng said loudly.

"Give King Gu a slap on his mouth, and ask him what he is doing if there is no food in the warehouse!" Li Chengqian had already decided in his heart that this Du Zisheng definitely intended to embarrass him.

Xue Rengui had been standing beside the carriage, he had already seen that this Du Zisheng was not pleasing to the eye, and when he heard the words, he didn't wait for others to make a move, he reached out and grabbed Du Zisheng's collar and lifted him up, and the other hand directly opened the bow left and right at Du Zisheng's face.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

After a sound, the corners of Du Zisheng's mouth were bleeding, and his face was swollen like a pig's head, Xue Rengui shook his hand and threw him to the ground, and shouted angrily: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked you what you were eating?" Say! ”

Du Zisheng's lips trembled for a long time before he spat out a mouthful of blood with a few teeth, and then pointed to the carriage, and said loudly with a hideous face: "Puff, puff!" (Tyrant!) ）

Li Chengqian heard that the voice was wrong, lifted the curtain and saw him like this, glanced at Xue Rengui, and asked Hao Chujun next to him, "Did you bring anyone else?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Hui also brought the warehouse staff Wailang and the three Taicang orders." As he spoke, he turned back and said, "Bring it here!" ”

Wailang, a member of the warehouse, is the deputy of the warehouse, and Taicang Ling is the person in charge of the warehouses in Chang'an.

Soon the guards brought four people, these four people were much smaller than Du Zisheng's officials, and they didn't have any family background.

Seeing Xue Rengui's face slapping Du Zisheng from a distance, his legs trembled with fright.

When he came in, he saw Li Chengqian hurriedly saluting, and he didn't even dare to raise his head.

"This Du Zisheng just told King Gu that there is no grain in the warehouse in Chang'an City, what's going on?" Li Chengqian didn't look at them and asked directly.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, there is indeed not much food in the warehouses in Chang'an City, that is, the military food of the guards and forbidden troops in Chang'an City is only enough for ten days at most." A Taicang ordered.

"What?" Li Chengqian remembered that when Tang Dezong, Guanzhong could not collect tax grain, and the military food was all transported from Jiangnan, and the time of a shipment was delayed, and Emperor Dezong was almost scared to death, and when he heard that the grain was coming, Emperor Dezong happily ran to the East Palace and hugged the prince at that time and cried, congratulating the father and son for saving their lives.

If it is really as this Taicang order says, if the grain cannot be transported within ten days, and the guards are in chaos, then it will be difficult for him and Li Shimin to retreat.

"Why is there no food in the warehouse?" Li Chengqian almost gritted his teeth and asked.

The three Taicang Commanders looked at the Wailang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs at the same time, and the Wailang was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything, obviously he also knew the horror of this kind of thing.

"Say, if you don't say anything, you will kill him immediately." Li Chengqian shouted angrily.

The foreigner raised his head tremblingly and said, "I beg His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to spare my life, the minister said, the minister said, the minister said......"

"Speak quickly!"

"Yes Yes ......"

In this narrative of the stumbling and mixing of outsiders, Li Chengqian figured out the situation, originally from the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty sent troops to destroy Gaochang, and the silk road from Guanzhong to the Western Regions was opened.

In the past few years, Guanzhong has produced high grain year after year, and the price of grain is cheap, and it is not profitable to grow grain, and the large households in Guanzhong have begun to change their grain to grow mulberry, and the grain production in Guanzhong is low, but the rent and tax in Guanzhong must be collected in the same way. These large households bought grain from other places, transported it to Hanjiacang in Luoyang through the canal, and then transported it to Chang'an by land, but since the heavy snowfall, they have never sent grain from Luoyang to Chang'an.

Now the granaries in the entire Chang'an City are empty, and there are only a few days of grain left.

Li Chengqian was also stunned when he heard this, and only after a while did he slowly say: "Hao Chujun, Pei Xingjian, Xu Jingzong, the three of you will take people to various granaries in Chang'an City to check how much grain is stored in the warehouses on the spot. ”

"Obey the order!" The three of them saluted solemnly.

"Get up and enter the palace!" This matter must be reported to Li Shimin.
