Huang Qi and Du He looked at Li Su worriedly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I've got a piece of! Sit down and drink tea! Li Su said.

Huang Qi calmed down and asked, "Your Highness, this morning, the emperor is going to take the ministers to the planting base, how is this good?" ”

"Just look at it, what's there to make a fuss about." Li Su said.

Huang Qi was extremely depressed and said, "Your Highness is laughing. The wheat is all burned, what else to see? ”

"Don't panic, the mountain people have their own tricks." Li Su said in a singing tone.

Du He was anxious, and he said, "Brother Su, don't sell Guanzi." I'm dying. ”

"Wait until I sing a part." Li Su said.

Seeing Li Su so calm, Huang Qi and Du He both knew that he must have a solution, and their hearts were also steady. I stopped asking him, and was ready to give him a chance to stink.

"I'm watching the mountain ......scenery from the city tower," Li Su sang, seeing that these two were not in a hurry, he had no interest in singing. He said, "Put your heart in your belly, come with me!" He walked out.

Taiji Palace, early dynasty.

The old one, each ministry talked about its own affairs, and other departments also routinely reported it, and it was over as soon as possible.

However, there was a strange smell of the morning today, and everyone vaguely felt that something was going to happen.

Tang Taizong Li Shimin seemed to be in a high mood, but he was not interested in the routine report, interrupting them from time to time and urging them to report briefly.

It turned out that he was thinking about the wheat harvest at the planting base!

Since Huang Qi reported to him the growth of the wheat and the forecast of the harvest, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep. He is now deeply convinced of Li Su. Imagine that even traditional wheat can greatly increase yields, and those rice grown in the north, as well as potatoes, sorghum, corn, sweet potatoes and other crops, are even more expected.

He was absent-minded and anxious to end the court meeting so that he could go to the planting base.

Finally, after the routine matters were reported, without waiting for the eunuch on duty to ask questions as usual, Li Shimin asked for him: "Rank minister, do you have anything else?" If not, I have something to say. ”

At this moment, Jing Zhaoyin (Mayor of Chang'an) said: "Your Majesty, this morning Chang'an County ordered to report that a fire broke out in Chang'an County's public land (the imperial court's own land), and the fire was a subordinate department of the Ministry of Industry (the planting base was requisitioned in the name of the Ministry of Industry for the sake of secrecy), and the specific situation can only be asked by the Ministry of Industry." ”

Li Shimin was shocked: "Could it be?" "He had a bad premonition.

At this time, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Huang Fu Rui stood up, his face was ugly, and he said: "Your Majesty, it is a planting base. "It's already like this, and he doesn't dare to hide it.

"Prince, what's the matter?" Li Shimin shouted.

The prince came out and said: "Father, last night, the grain planting base was set on fire, and all the new varieties of wheat were burned. He said with a sad expression.

Li Shimin was furious and said: "How do you take care of it, didn't I remind you again and again, you have to keep it secret and be careful, that's how you do things, huh?!" ”

At this time, the sworn friend of Li Tai, the king of Wei, Yushi Niu Lu (from Sipin), stood up, and he said: "Your Majesty, the minister impeached Li Su, the king of Liang.

Li Shimin was angry, and he said, "What are you impeaching him for? ”

Niu Lu said: "The minister impeached him for his false words to confuse the public, and the minister heard that he was engaged in a new variety of grain in the research institute. As we all know, the history of wheat cultivation has been thousands of years, and the most experienced farmers in Datang have the best watered fields, with a yield of only 280 catties and an average of only 250 catties. The yield per mu of dry land is even lower, only about 120 catties. He even said that it can be turned over, that is, it can reach more than 400 catties, is this possible?

Therefore, the minister impeached him for the crime of lying and at the same time impeached him for setting up a planting base and wasting the court's money. ”

Prince Li Chengqian said: "How do you know that the wheat yield will not reach 400 catties? ”

Niu Lu said: "If it can reach 400 catties, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to show evidence, so that the ministers will be convinced." ”

At this time, Zhao Wannian and Zhou Jin, the sworn friends of Li Ke, the king of Shu, also stood up and said: "The ministers agree with Niu Yushi's opinion. ”

"Hey", Li Shimin said secretly in his heart: "Today, these people seem to have known that something is going to happen to the planting base, this matter is a little weird, and it must be strictly investigated." ”

The crown prince Li Chengqian has nothing to say, the wheat is burned, what proof do you have?!

Next, more than a dozen ministers came out one after another, respectively impeaching the research institute for doing business privately, impeaching the research institute for corruption, impeaching the industrial school for recruiting the children of businessmen, impeaching the students of the industrial school for wearing strange costumes, impeaching the three evils and Li You for fighting, and impeaching the research institute for appointing officials without permission...... Varied.

Li Shimin was so angry that he was happy. Now, he could see that some of these people were directed at the crown prince; The other part is envious, jealous and hateful of the institute and wants to meddle in the institute. He calmed down and wanted to see how they performed.

He said, "Okay, let's see today how much sin this heinous son of mine is. Each ministry sent a squire, the other departments sent a deputy back to preside over the work, and the rest of the people discussed this issue today. ”

The court debate began, and Huang Furui, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Gao Jingming, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, and Tang Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, explained Li Su's great contribution to the imperial court from all angles and with detailed data.

Most of the court officials expressed admiration for Li Su's contributions.

At this time, I don't know who went to invite Kong Yingda over.

As soon as this great sage came out, most people thought that he had come to denounce Li Su, because they had all heard about Li Su's competition with him in public and embarrassing him.

Tang Taizong saw that today's court was really lively, and even this great sage who had not been in the court for many years came to denounce his three harmful sons, it seems that Li Su's charm is really not small.

Kong Yingda came over to salute Li Shimin, and Li Shimin bowed slightly on the dragon chair to express his respect. He smiled and asked, "Why is Mr. Kong here too?" ”

Kong Yingda said: "Lao Chen heard that everyone was criticizing Lao Chen's student Li Su, and Lao Chen also came to criticize him to see how unbearable he was. ”

He looked around and asked, "Why didn't Li Su come?" ”

At this time, the governor of the Shu Mansion, Xiao Zhuge Quan Wanji, also studied under Kong Yingda, he stood up and said: "Master, His Royal Highness King Liang was derelict in taking care of the planting base, and the so-called high-yield grain was burned out, probably because he went to investigate the situation, so he didn't come." ”

He deliberately emphasized Li Su's dereliction of duty and signaled that Li Su did not dare to come. As soon as he finished speaking, the people who opposed Li Su let out a slight mocking sound.

Kong Yingda turned to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, the old ministers also want to refute Li Su." ”

When Li Ke and Li Tai heard him say this, they were all excited, and their subordinates were also very excited. Kong Yingda has a great influence among scholars, and if he criticizes Li Su, Li Su will stink half of Chang'an City.

Li Shimin also frowned slightly, and said in his heart: "This old man is a little narrow-minded, it seems that this son of mine is in big trouble." ”

Kong Yingda said: "The old minister believes that Li Su has three major crimes. ”
