Chapter 171: There's a Way
"Brother Zhou, this matter is not as simple as you think, if it was some time ago, it may only take an edict from Niangniang, and those wealthy families will honestly take out the food, and even this kind of thing will not happen at all, but now it is different, since Niangniang ordered the implementation of movable type printing throughout the world, and all states and counties have built bookstores, the tacit understanding with these wealthy families has been broken, and now they will never take out food to help the court through the crisis, even if they are really willing to compromise, I'm afraid that the conditions put forward are also very harsh. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Seeing his friend's bad guy style as always, Fan Lubing, who had the best relationship with Zhou Simao, opened his mouth to explain to him.
After Fan Lubing's words, whether it was Wu Zetian or Fan Lubing, the 'North Gate Bachelors' all frowned, but they didn't say a word, and the atmosphere in the hall became more and more depressed and tense.
"Hahaha, hahaha, good, good, great, since the eldest grandson Wuji, no one dared to go against this palace for a long time, today these jumping clowns want to use this kind of thing to force this palace to bow down to them, it's just delusional, even if the fish dies and the net is broken, this palace will not bow to them."
Some people choose to give in in the face of pressure, and some people choose to fight in the face of pressure, but Wu Zetian is obviously the kind of person who will never bow to anyone or anything, even if he is crushed in the end, he will fight to the end.
Wu Zetian's words, although full of pride, also made the sorrow on the faces of Fan Lubing and other 'North Gate Bachelors' even more solemn, because they knew that if those wealthy families did not know what to do, and tried to control the food to force Wu Zetian to admit defeat, the end would be like this, obviously, 'The Son of Heaven is angry, and the blood is drifting', although Wu Zetian is not the Son of Heaven, he has more authority than the Son of Heaven.
"Pedaling"
Just when Wu Zetian and the others were thinking hard about countermeasures, a slight but rapid footstep came from the door of the main hall, and they saw a small yellow door walking quickly to the middle of the main hall, and said, "Qi Tianhou Niangniang, Di Renjie in Duzhilang asked to see her outside the door, saying that there was something important to tell Niangniang." ”
"Oh, hurry....Hurry up and announce that Di Aiqing will meet you." Originally, because of the sudden appearance of the little yellow gate, Wu Zetian was a little displeased, but when he heard that it was Di Renjie who came to meet him, a trace of doubt and uneasiness inexplicably appeared in his heart.
It was rumored in later generations that Wu Zetian respected Di Renjie quite much, but it was good, but it was after Li Zhi's death, after Wu Zetian was in charge of the court alone, at this time, it was not Wu Zetian who really valued Di Renjie, but Gaozong Li Zhi, although Li Zhi had a weak personality, he was still a generation of Ming Jun, he could listen to advice, and he was also good at promoting some capable and loyal courtiers.
Under the influence of Li Zhi, coupled with Wu Zetian's own love for those capable people, although he did not respect Di Renjie as much as he did later, he still recognized Di Renjie's talent and character very much. She also knew that Di Renjie was not the kind of person who slipped around all day long, and would not come to see him for no reason, since he came to see him now, something big must have happened.
After a while, I saw a small yellow door, leading Di Renjie to leave the Linde Palace.
"Di Renjie in Chendu Zhilang, meet the queen of heaven." Di Renjie bowed to Wu Zetian and saluted.
"Di Aiqing quickly excused herself, I heard that Di Aiqing had something important to meet, but I don't know what the important thing is, which makes Aiqing so anxious." Although the distance was a little far, Wu Zetian still saw some sweat stains on Di Renjie's face, so the uneasiness in his heart became even stronger.
"Back to the queen of heaven, the Yellow River has been cut off recently, Chang'an City is about to run out of food, the minister is in the middle of the Duzhi Lang, it is difficult to escape the blame, although His Majesty and Niangniang blame for the crime, Weichen is uneasy in his heart, thinking hard about the solution, hoping to make up for it." Di Renjie's words had just been said here, but he was suddenly interrupted by Wu Zetian.
"Could it be that Di Aiqing has come up with a solution." Who is Wu Zetian, a generation of strongmen who have been galloping in the court for decades, and even the famous prime minister Sun Wuji, who was pressed to the ground by him, how could he not understand the meaning of Di Renjie's words.
Therefore, when Di Renjie was just halfway through his words, she was overjoyed in her heart, and she couldn't help asking.
Not to mention Wu Zetian, Fan Lubing and other 'North Gate Bachelors' next to him also looked at Di Renjie with excitement at this time, with a look of anticipation on their faces.
It's a pity that what made everyone feel speechless was that Di Renjie shook his head and replied, "Back to the Queen of Heaven, Weichen is incompetent, and he has not come up with a solution to the shortage of food in Chang'an City. ”
As soon as these words came out, the flame of hope that had just surged in the hearts of Wu Zetian, Fan Lubing and others was extinguished again.
"Since I haven't come up with a way, what is the meaning of Di Aiqing's coming this time." Hope was dashed again, and Wu Zetian also became a little lost.
"Qi Yu Tianhou Niangniang, Weichen is incompetent, and he really didn't come up with a good way to solve the lack of food in Chang'an City, but Weichen's student, Chang'an County Cheng Duan Jian, came up with a good idea, so Weichen came to tell the Queen of Heaven about it." Di Renjie replied honestly.
"Well, I see, ah..... what..... what did you say....you said that Duan Jian came up with a solution, this is true, Bengong heard it right!"
What kind of queen majesty, what kind of noble image, at this time was completely forgotten by Wu Zetian, there was only one thought left in her mind, that is, there was a solution to the lack of food in Chang'an City, this problem that had plagued her for several days and nights, and now there was a solution to it, but she was a little hard to believe it for a while.
"Di Langzhong, this is true, that Duan Jian, ah... No, it's because the high disciples really came up with a solution. "Unlike Wu Zetian, among Fan Lubing and other 'North Gate Bachelors', there are still some people who are calmer, after Di Renjie said this, they did not be overly surprised like Wu Zetian, but kept calm and asked Di Renjie.
"Hmph, don't worry, if it's someone else, this statement may be false, but who is Di Aiqing, but it is a loyal and steady minister who His Majesty has praised many times, since it is what he said, then there will definitely be no mistake, but, at this time, it is really unbelievable, such a tricky matter, the court, civil and military officials can't think of a way, and it was actually thought out by a hairy boy, which really makes the palace feel strange, in this case, the palace should listen carefully, what good way did the kid come up with."
It was not Di Renjie who answered Fan Lubing and the others, but Wu Zetian, who had just come to his senses.
