Chapter 11: The Imperial Meeting
Liu Xu is famous, this time, the real whole Chang'an City knows this name, it is said that last night Li Jing laughed out of the palace, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui The two prime ministers had strange faces, and Wei Zheng was directly blue.
"If you can make such a poem, then he can be regarded as a literati, how can he not know the importance of recuperation! If there is no rule of Wenjing, where did the Han Dynasty come from? Shaft, shaft! ”
Wei Zheng gritted his teeth, the two poems can be regarded as igniting the martial arts that they have finally suppressed, His Majesty is also determined to conquer the Turks, yesterday I still felt that this kid solved the locust plague and danger, he is a good seedling, today it seems that hum, it is another martial artist!
"Hmph, Duke Wei is such a big official, Shaft? A ten-year-old little doll, Wei Gong called out so bluntly, hum, it seems that the cultivation of literati is like this. ”
Lao Cheng doesn't care about those, you say Li Jing, impeach Li Jing, it doesn't matter, but you are a person who is dozens of years old, like this with a child who has never met before, and you are a guy who is happy with yourself, then Lao Cheng is uncomfortable in his heart, this has not yet entered Lao Cheng's door, you are like this, if you ignore it, others will not laugh at my Lao Cheng for being cowardly?
"Humph! The old man still has to settle an account with you Cheng Zhijie in this matter, since he has already planned to take it under the door to teach, why is he here, and he is allowed to speak so wildly, fighting and fighting, you don't want to see, under this locust plague, how many people are starving to death, and how many are homeless? Are you not enough to die? The Tang Dynasty can live a good life, conquering the Turks, where does the money come from? Do you pay for the door yourself or what? In troubled times, it is difficult for the people to eat oil and salt, so how about you rest and let the people take a breath? ”
Wei Zheng is upright and single, who provokes him, he doesn't care, he connects with the people's livelihood, Lao Cheng is also choked, at this time, that is, he doesn't care about the life and death of the people, who dares to wear such a hat!
"In that case, the salt money, let's get out of the door, you think about the oil, it's easy to do, it's a big deal, just hunt more."
Lao Cheng turned the question out, Wei Zheng glared, the oil thing is just talking, only the lack of salt, the oil will not be much, this thing can always come up with a way, but salt?
Wei Zheng paused, he was not stupid, on the contrary, the person who could stand in this position, stupid, he couldn't do it, Cheng Yanjin praised Haikou for the first time like this, and said directly, the problem of salt, they solved the door, this thing is not right.
looked left and right at Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, both of them shook their heads, no one approved them, which made Wei Zheng even more strange. Looking at Li Jing again, he was also calm and relaxed, and Wei Zheng was even more confused.
Lao Cheng saw that Wei Zheng stopped, and raised his head very proudly, tsk, seeing the civil official like this, it was really comfortable, and he glanced at Wei Chi, who knew this, except for Li Jing, who was silent, there were only them, and this heart was called a happy one. Just as he was about to make a joke, the sharp voice of the waiter sounded, and Li Er was dressed in a dragon robe and slowly went up to the hall. After the ministers saluted, he raised his hand lightly, looked at the newborn red sun, was in a good mood, and coughed.
"I talked with the Heavenly Master last night, watching the celestial phenomena, and said, Ziwei Xingsheng, everything is smooth, it's time for me to wash away the shame of Weishui, I thought, Yang Guang, the Sui Dynasty is so strong, I can destroy him, Wang Shichong, with millions of elite soldiers, I still destroyed him, and now, to our biggest enemy of the Tang Dynasty, the Turks! Ladies and gentlemen, do you say, should it be destroyed? ”
The hall was quiet, Wei Zheng thought for a moment, but still didn't stand up, in the past, even if the emperor wanted to say anything, it was a euphemistic beginning, today is so direct, as direct as Liu Xu's poem last night, people who are a little enthusiastic will agree, this is a great move of the country, Wei Zheng is a little confused, today's majesty, so direct, too different.
"Your Majesty, the Turks are a great disaster for my dynasty, every winter, they will drive south, wreak havoc, rob me of the Tang Dynasty's money and food, kill my Tang people, Your Majesty's grace is vast, and it has been allowed for a long time, but I don't repent, and now, it's time to teach them some lessons. If Your Majesty sends troops, Lao Cheng, I will be the first to ask for my life, and I am willing to be the vanguard and fight for Your Majesty! ”
"And my Wei Chi, Your Majesty, this last bit of credit, don't forget me, Wei Chi will wait for this battle to return to his hometown to recuperate."
Li Er smiled and nodded, and turned his eyes to look at the civil official's train, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at each other, weighed one or two, and Fang Xuanling took a step.
"Your Majesty, the locust plague has just passed, even though the locust plague around Chang'an has been quelled because of that young son Liu Xu, but the entire Guannei Dao has always suffered too much, so it is not a plan to send troops in such a hurry, or it can be delayed for a year?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, right now all over the country is establishing Yicang, in order to calm the heart of the world, as long as there is another year, the world Yicang is successful, and the people have a foundation in their hearts, and then send troops again, it can be said that the time and place are favorable, wouldn't it be better?"
Wei Zheng also stood up, he had to come out to stop it, Yicang is the real big thing, the locust plague caused the people to shake, at this time to talk about the Western Expedition, it is really not the time! If he didn't say a word today, it would be too big, but although the words came out, it was much gentler, and he still remembered that the three of them were calm and relaxed just now, salt, it must be salt, but this gap is big, this thought, Wei Zheng's heart instantly brightened, and he bowed again.
"Your Majesty, just now Lu Guogong said that Jiangmen can bear the shortage of salt, could it be that Your Majesty has a new salt mine? Or is it a natural refined salt? ”
Lao Cheng was embarrassed, Li Er glanced at him, Lao Cheng and Wei Chi both shrank back, Wei Zheng and a few people saw it, and their hearts were even clearer, and Du Ruhui also took a step forward.
"Your Majesty, at the moment the people are the most important, Your Majesty has salt in his hands, can you take it out first, in this way, the hearts of the people in the world can be enough."
Li Er felt uncomfortable, this is how his pig teammates felt, sighed a little helplessly, and took out a fold in his hand.
"A few Aiqing are right, I am not ready to start the western expedition this winter, but I just said that I can prepare. There is a catastrophe from the sky, but it is also a blessing and a curse, I here, I also got a gift from an interesting boy, I guess you all know, this kid's name is Liu Xu, this fried locust, is the clever plan he came up with, locust powder, it is even more clever, in the future, I estimate, there is no locust plague. ”
"Last night, I got an excerpt, which explained in detail how to obtain refined salt, I ordered people to personally test, such a technique of taking salt, and then I Datang, there is no more trouble with salt, so, this morning, in addition to first telling you Aiqing about the preparation for the westward expedition, the second, is that you come to discuss, how to reward this meritorious work."
