In the courtyard, seeing Li Chengqian coming out with a gloomy face, Qin Huaiqing immediately greeted him.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, why are you depressed? If you have something to tell your concubine, you may be able to untie the knot. ”

Li Chengqian frowned and looked at Qin Huaiqing, and said coldly: "I am now a waste prince and a commoner, please don't disturb me,

Besides, even if I have any conflicts with the imperial grandfather, it's not for you to interfere, you know?

Dare to meddle in the affairs of the royal family, and live impatiently? ”

Qin Huaiqing's eyes lit up, and he smiled: "Why is Your Highness so angry, this old man still spoils his grandson, even if he is at fault, he will forget it overnight."

The concubine's room also has some local fruit brew from Linyi Kingdom, I wonder if His Royal Highness can enjoy his face tonight? ”

"You ......" Li Chengqian was about to scold, but with a turn of his mind, he agreed, and said secretly: "I want to see what tricks you have." ”

"Thank you Your Highness for your face, the concubine will accompany you soon." Qin Huaiqing bowed and re-entered the palace of the Emperor Taishang.

Looking at the Emperor Taishang's slightly closed eyes, she showed hatred, but quickly hid it, walked to Li Yuan's side, and massaged his jade hand on his shoulder.

After gossiping for a while, she pretended to casually mention the matter of the crown prince Li Chengqian.

"Why do you want to know about the prince?" Li Yuan smiled, everyone knows these things, she will know sooner or later, and he doesn't hide it, "Cheng Qian was named the crown prince when he was eight years old, and at that time I was still the emperor in Da'an Palace in Chang'an, and he was the only one among the princes who always came to accompany me.

Time passed in a blink of an eye, Cheng Qian actually fell in love with a man, originally Wei and Jin were romantic, and I was not easy to interfere with, but after all, he was the crown prince, and he was immoral......"

"Men?" Qin Huaiqing had a chill, although she was a cardamom girl of fourteen or fifteen, she had some preliminary understanding of the affairs of men and women, and she faintly resisted men in her heart.

"I didn't expect such a custom to be popular in the kingdom, and the concubines opened their eyes."

Li Yuan glanced at Qin Huaiqing and explained: "The Northern and Southern Dynasties have been separated for hundreds of years, the Southern Dynasties are weak, believe in metaphysics, and are popular to knock five stones and play with eggs (fake characters) Tong, this thing is called the legacy of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and it rarely appears in today's Tang Dynasty.

Even if the emperor likes the beautiful man in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it is also rumored to be a graceful thing, but this time and that time.

It's not the same. ”

The best times for men and women were in ancient times, especially in the Southern Dynasties.

Although this style was popular in later dynasties, it was still disgusted by scholars and was not as respected as the Southern Dynasties.

At that time, there were few egg children in the family, and they were embarrassed to go out.

The murals and sculptures of ancient Rome and Greece also had the male one, and in ancient times the male man was not the existence that everyone shouted about.

"......" Qin Huaiqing.

Hehe!

What can she say, she can only say that your circle is really messy.

I didn't expect Datang in my mind to have such a hidden side.

While Li Yuan was speaking, there was a sudden urgent report, and the messenger ran to the dormitory, half-kneeling and said: "Your Majesty, Abe, the prince of Linyi, also persuaded the five southern states to sign an alliance with them, and sent a total of 200,000 troops to declare war twenty miles south of Zhancheng!" ”

"Two hundred thousand? With these small countries, where is it possible to have 200,000? Fifty or sixty thousand at most. Li Yuan sneered, and then asked, "What about the king of Chu, order him to return to help quickly." ”

"The King of Chu is attacking Rinan City, I'm afraid I can't come." The messengers were in a bit of a dilemma.

"Can't come?" Li Yuan's eyebrows furrowed, according to Li Xiaogong's loyalty, it is impossible not to return to support Zhancheng, the only explanation is that he is trapped in Rinan City, and if he retreats rashly, he may suffer from the enemy.

"Bring me the map." He immediately shouted.

The map is spread on the ground, and the city of Rinan is in the southwest of the country of Linyi, and to the west is the city of Wenfu of the country of Zhenla.

Ninan City, the Five Nations Alliance, and Zhenla Kingdom, a total of three soldiers and horses gambled Li Xiaogong's troops to death.

Now it is fortunate that Abe, the prince of Linyi, also led the small confederate army of the five countries to directly return to the city.

After all, the army of Zhancheng was empty, and the Tang Emperor Li Yuan was still occupying the city.

As long as Li Yuan is captured, the war will be won without a fight!

At that time, not only can the entire territory of the Linyi Kingdom be restored, but it is also possible to cut off a part of the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

"Inform the Nanban army, let them send soldiers and horses in the 36th hole, and the slaves and the people of the city will repair the city wall, prepare the equipment to defend the city, and loot the grain of the people who occupy the city, leaving only half a day's food." Li Yuan said with a serious face.

"The last will obey." Deputy Commander of Jinyiwei Han Zhoudao.

Li Yuan arranged very carefully, and he was almost determined to hold the city to the death, so as to buy enough time for Li Xiaogong's army.

"There is only half a day's surplus food left in the looting...... Your Majesty, this is too ruthless, how should the people live? Qin Huaiqing couldn't help but say.

"I'm just strictly controlling the grain in the city, so that the city can be defended for a longer time, and I will distribute the grain." Li Yuan's eyelids jumped, and he said lightly.

"Your Majesty, they are just innocent people, and you have already plundered them once...... If this continues, the people's minds will change! Mu Baiyi walked out and bit his lip.

"They are not the people of the Tang Dynasty!" Li Yuan turned his head.

Mu Baiyi said: "But they are now." ”

"No, they already hate me, and if there is enough food, they can rebel against me.

Do you know the porridge and rice used to treat the victims? The court said that the thick porridge that should be made without falling down with chopsticks is almost always clear soup and little water, and the rice grains are pitiful. Li Yuan said.

"That's corrupt officials and corrupt officials!" Mu Baiyi replied.

Qin Huaiqing also looked at Li Yuan pitifully, the people of Zhancheng were her fathers and fellow villagers, and she couldn't bear to let them starve to death.

The siege of the city for a month, the food in the city is already scarce, and if you loot it like this, what should the people do?

"No, it's not a corrupt official!" Li Yuan sneered, "Who would dare to embezzle life-saving food?" That's a matter of bad luck, and they won't be corrupt here if they want to be corrupt, unless the real lard is blinded.

Officialdom has three non-greed, disaster relief funds are not greedy, imperial examination money is not greedy, disaster relief funds are life-saving money, if corruption is easy to break out of an uprising, in order to calm down the people's grievances, when the time comes, almost all the heads of the investigation and prosecution will fall to the ground, who dares to be greedy? Who has the ability to be greedy?

The imperial examination is a major event of the country, once there is a fraud case, it is difficult to lose his head directly, and it is difficult to ensure that a scholar will turn into a dragon when he encounters a storm, and he will be a colleague in officialdom in the future, and it is not easy to offend.

Once something happens, even if there is no corruption, it is a common practice to get rid of corruption, and someone must bear the blame!

Officials are not fools, and I am not fools, so if they are fed, they will be able to read me, okay?

No!

Defending the city relied on the soldiers of the Tang Army, not the people who occupied the city, and it really reached the point of despair, even if ten people starved to death, the soldiers had to eat a full meal! Li Yuan said coldly.
