I heard that Li Shimin was going to find someone to go to Qizhou to thoroughly investigate Li Ke's extortion of the people. Li Tai, who was on the side, went out of class and said to Li Shimin: "Father, the son is willing to go to Qizhou to thoroughly investigate this matter for his father." ”

If it were someone else, maybe Li Shimin would have agreed. But Li Tai came out of class to ask for orders, and Li Shimin couldn't help but shake his head.

And said: "I can't bear to let you climb mountains and wade to Qizhou, you better stay by my side and study." ”

In fact, Li Shimin didn't let Li Tai go to Qizhou, but he was not just reluctant. The key is that Li Shimin knows that Li Tai and Li Ke have old grudges.

If you let Li Tai go, with Li Tai's character. Even if it's not true, he will do it. So how could Li Shimin let him go to Qizhou.

Li Tai knew that since Li Shimin had rejected his proposal, no matter what he said, it would be useless. So he could only stand aside with a helpless and lost face.

At this time, Wei Zheng, who had not spoken, opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, here is a copy of the Qizhou Thorn Shi Wang Tianlai's recital. Please also ask the emperor to take a look. ”

After Wei Zheng finished speaking, he handed the fold to Wang De, who handed it to Li Shimin. Li Shimin took it and opened it, and his face couldn't help but change.

Then he threw the fold on the ground, and said to the eldest grandson Wuji: "Eldest grandson Wuji, you give me a closer look at what this fold says." What is the difference with those families who jointly reported Li Ke? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji picked up the fold with trembling hands. It didn't matter if he looked at it, he couldn't help but let beads of sweat ooze from the corners of his forehead.

However, the eldest grandson Wuji would not stop there, so he opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it was Wang Tianlai who assassinated the history of Qizhou. How can human beings fight natural disasters. ”

The minister felt that it must be this Wang Tianlai who was exaggerating. Therefore, the minister asked the emperor to send someone to investigate the matter thoroughly, so that Wang Tianlai would not deceive the emperor and deceive the emperor. ”

At this time, Cheng Yanjin walked over with a smile on his face, and reached out to take the fold from the eldest grandson Wuji's hand. While looking, he walked over to Yan Tingming.

And said to Yan Tingming: "My old Cheng grew up in Qizhou, which is my old Cheng's hometown. If someone harms my fellow countrymen, I can't give up. ”

"So I asked Yan Yushi to read this book to everyone, if everyone thinks that Wang Tianlai deceived the emperor. Then I, Lao Cheng, will take people back and kill this greedy man. ”

After Yan Tingming stretched out his hand to take the fold, he read it with a reluctant expression. I only heard Yan Tingming open his mouth and read: "The minister of Qizhou assassinated Wang Tianlai, and played the emperor's ...... instead of the people of Qizhou"

Then Yan Tingming read it out in public. The content of the compromise is how Li Ke devoted his family resources to help the people of Qizhou survive the drought.

How to recruit craftsmen to build waterwheels, how to go to the fields in person. Follow the people to build the canals.

It is also a detailed account of how Li Ke let those rich businessmen who don't care about the lives of the people obediently take out money and grain to help the people of Qizhou survive the drought. Of course, it is also mentioned that Li Ke set fire to Zheng Tianshou's living room.

After Yan Tingming finished reading it, all the civil and military officials present were amazed. I think this matter is a bit unbelievable, what kind of waterwheel can take the water of the Yellow River to irrigate the fields. didn't expect Li Ke to dare to openly tear his face with the family.

After Yan Tingming finished reading, Cheng Yanjin took the song back again. And asked Yan Tingming: "I don't know if Yan Yushi thinks that what he said above is true?" ”

This couldn't help but make Yan Tingming's mouth stammer, after all, Yan Tingming at this time really didn't know how to answer. So he asked for help and looked at Li Tai on the side.

Seeing Yan Tingming's gaze asking for help, Li Tai naturally couldn't be indifferent. After all, this Yan Tingming is already his own person. How could Li Tai look at Cheng Biting Jin and embarrass his own people.

So he opened his mouth and said to Cheng Yanjin: "Lu Guogong, this thing that Wang Tianlai mentioned in the recital, I'm afraid everyone here has never seen it. ”

"So this matter should be as my father said, send someone to Qizhou to find out. As long as you arrive in Qizhou, the truth will be revealed. ”

"Then I don't know what King Yue thinks, why did Wang Tianlai lie about this? Could it be that his lies will make the seedlings grow in the ground? ”

When the autumn comes, how will he deal with the fact that the people have no harvest? I'm afraid that I will have to stretch my neck and wait to be stabbed at that time. Li Chengqian opened his mouth and said to Li Tai.

Li Tai was asked by Li Chengqian, and he was speechless for a while. I don't know how to answer Li Chengqian. After all, what Li Chengqian said is reasonable, because lies can't be eaten as food.

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji was already angry, and said to Li Chengqian with a gloomy face: "When the time comes, he won't make up another reason to say that the people have suffered other disasters?" ”

Seeing the expression of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin naturally understood very well what the eldest grandson Wuji was thinking. So he said, "Wei Xiang, please go to Qizhou." ”

"Check whether what Wang Tian said in Qizhou is true. At the same time, I also want to let Li Ke's kid know what the consequences of his nonsense like this are. ”

When Wei Zheng heard Li Shimin's words, he opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin: "What the emperor said is right, although what the King of Qi did was for the people of Qizhou. But it's a misalignment. ”

"But I don't know what the emperor thinks should be done with His Royal Highness King Qi. If the disposal is too heavy, I am afraid that the people of Qizhou will complain. ”

Li Shimin nodded after hearing this, and thought to himself: "This kid made such a fuss this time, which can be regarded as letting the people of Qizhou remember his great kindness." However, he offended the Shandong clan very much. ”

So Li Shimin opened his mouth and said: "Reading that he is anxious for the people, I will punish him to go to Qianfo Mountain to think about it for a year." If you dare to leave Qianfoshan without permission halfway, you will be severely punished. ”

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Wei Zheng couldn't help but nodded. Then he stood aside and didn't say anything more. After all, such a punishment is just a formality for Li Ke.

At this time, Li Chengqian, who was standing aside, opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin: "Father, the king of Qi has poured out his family in this disaster relief. I'm afraid that now I can't even afford to raise the 2,000 forbidden army given to him by my father. Therefore, Erchen felt that his father should let the household department allocate some money. So that the king of Qi can have money to live. ”

"I don't have any spare money to give him, so I asked the household department to advance him for two years. It is then deducted from the subsequent income from year to year. After Li Shimin finished speaking, he got up and left the Taiji Hall.

Looking at the back of Li Shimin leaving, a smile appeared on Li Chengqian's face. After all, today he not only successfully suppressed Li Tai, but also helped Li Ke a lot. For Li Chengqian, this is definitely a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
