Chang'an City, which has experienced many tribulations, is full of ruins and broken walls, and everywhere is a desolate scene, beside the streets of Chang'an, there are refugees begging along the streets, and babies cry in their mother's arms because of the lack of nourishment from their mother's milk. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info because of the military disaster and the Turkic invasion, the refugees in Chang'an City and the refugees who fled from Huayin and the vicinity of Huayin were together. Waiting for the soup beach to give alms. In order to relieve those victims, Li Jiancheng ordered the government to provide relief, but most of the grain and materials stored in the government warehouse were transported by the Turks. And the materials in the Luoyang area have not yet been transported. In order not to cause civil unrest, Li Jiancheng ordered that the officials of the family in Chang'an donate money and food to relieve the victims in Chang'an, but what kind of virtue those officials are, Li Jiancheng is clear, this time he went out of the palace in plain clothes just to see the relief work of the victims, but the results are not very satisfactory. In addition to the Empress Zheng family and the concubine Yang family on the street (after Li Jiancheng officially ascended the throne, Zheng Wanzhen was canonized as the queen, Yang Yan was named the concubine, and Cao Yuyan was the concubine. The rank of concubines in the Tang Dynasty was one queen and four wives; Concubine, concubine, concubine, concubine, concubine, one person each, one product; Nine concubines; Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Zhaoyuan, Xiuyi, Xiuyuan, Xiuyuan, Chongyi, Chongrong, Chongyuan, one person each, two products; Jieyu is nine people, and she is three products; There are nine beauties, and there are four products; There are nine talents, and there are five products; Baolin twenty-seven people, six products; There are twenty-seven royal maids, and there are seven products; Twenty-seven women, eight products, originally the court officials saw that Li Jiancheng only had the queen Zheng Wanzhen, the concubine Yang Yan and the concubine Cao Yuyan, so they hoped that Li Jiancheng would draft to the people and gather all the nine concubines. Few of the Maison's officials responded.

"Uncle, can you give me more?"

"What to give, if you give it more, can others still drink it?" A pot of rice soup porridge that can float chopsticks and is crystal clear.

"Uncle, the child is still so young, can you give half a steamed bun more?"

"I'm sorry, each person only has half a steamed bun at a time, and the same goes for children!" A black-flour steamed bun that is less than the size of a child's fist is only half.

"Gone, gone. I'm done giving alms, hurry up! Don't go yet! ”

"Hmmm! Don't, don't! Mother, I'm hungry! No! Mother! A man in his thirties, dressed in fine clothes, walked there, took a small piece of silver from his bosom, and handed it to them.

"Sister-in-law, there is a little silver here, buy some food for the child!"

"Thank you, officer!" Then, the man in his thirties in gorgeous clothes would immediately gather around a group of men and women in ragged clothes, begging the man in his thirties to give him some alms, and the man in his thirties would have so much money, and then a group of great sweaters snatched the man in his thirties out of the crowd. Of course, a few people were also injured. When a monk praying for the blessing of refugees on the streets of Chang'an saw it, he let out an exclamation:

"Hey! It was supposed to save lives, but it hurt lives, I really don't know if the donor was saving the world or harming the world just now? The Biao-shaped Great Khan next to the man in his thirties and dressed in gorgeous clothes was about to scold, and the man in his thirties and dressed in gorgeous clothes stopped the movement of the Biao-shaped Great Khan beside him.

"I don't know the ...... of the master's name"

"Nobles and nobles still forget it, when they meet in Pingshui, there is no need for the Dharma name, the poor monk will say goodbye, and he will meet by fate." Looking at the distant back of the monk, the man in his thirties dressed in gorgeous clothes faintly felt that he would have some connection with this monk. So, he glanced at the big sweat beside him, and the big man nodded, and someone immediately followed...... In the palace, Li Jiancheng brought his confidants and important ministers Shangshu Zuocheng Li Gang, Shangshu Youcheng Di Zhixun, Secretary and Supervisor Xu Jingzong, Imperial History Doctor Yu Zhining, Imperial History Zhongcheng and Counselor Wei Zheng, Internal History Ling Huang Wenqing and others all found:

"Li Gangqing, Zhi Xunqing, Jing Zongqing, Zhi Ningqing, Xuan Chengqing, do you know? I have decreed that the treasury is running out of food. I made an order to let the officials of the big families in Chang'an help me donate some money and grain to me to survive the famine year, now it's okay, I ran to the street today to see, someone caters to it, but in the entire Chang'an City, a pot of rice soup porridge that can float chopsticks and crystal clear can only have one bowl per person per meal; A black-flour steamed bun that is less than the size of a child's fist is only half. And it's not always guaranteed for everyone. If this continues, won't there be a civil uprising! "After hearing Li Jiancheng's words, Shangshu Zuocheng Li Gang, Shangshu Right Cheng Di Zhixun, Secretary and Supervisor Xu Jingzong, Imperial History Doctor Yu Zhining, Imperial History Zhongcheng and Counselor Wei Zheng, Internal History Ling Huang Wenqing and others heard Li Jiancheng's words, they all knew what kind of virtue those family officials were, but the power base of this world is still the family family, and they can't offend them, once they are offended, it will still cause civil strife. Therefore, Shangshu Zuocheng Li Gang, Shangshu Right Cheng Di Zhixun, Secretary and Supervisor Xu Jingzong, Imperial History Doctor Yu Zhining, Imperial History Zhongcheng and Counselor Wei Zheng, Internal History Ling Huang Wenqing and others were silent. Let Li Jiancheng vent. After Li Jiancheng finished yelling, he saw that Li Gang of Shangshu Zuocheng, Di Zhixun of Shangshu Youcheng, Xu Jingzong, secretary and supervisor, Yu Zhining, Yushi Zhongcheng and counselor Wei Zheng, Neishi Ling Huang Wenqing and others did not speak, and his heart was even more angry:

"Speak, I want you to speak! Speak! Wei Zhengxian, the imperial historian and counselor, replied:

"Your Majesty, in fact, you can't completely blame those family officials, since ancient times, there is a saying that thousands of miles for officials are only for money, if they are allowed to knock the bones and marrow of the common people, then those people will be more ferocious than tigers and jackals, but if you want them to take things from their pockets, then it is like sweeping ashes from the bottom of a pot, and it would be good to be able to take them out." Li Jiancheng also knows it. Whether it is the present or the Celestial Empire in the future, it is the same there.

"Lord Huang Wenqing".

"The minister is here!"

"Lord Huang Wenqing, you are in charge of the treasury of the Inner History, how many materials can be taken out of the treasury now?" The Inner History Mansion is somewhat like the Internal Affairs Office of the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations, responsible for keeping the private property and materials of the royal family, and responsible for the lives of members of the royal family. However, the authority was much greater than that of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in later generations. Even in addition to industry, it was also responsible for the supply of weapons to the imperial army, the defense of Chang'an and Luoyang, and the mobilization of troops.

"Your Majesty! There are still tens of thousands of stones of grain, 40,000 taels of gold, 100,000 taels of silver, tens of thousands of horses of cloth, thousands of brocades, and thousands of cattle and sheep in the treasury of the Inner History Mansion. ”

"Spread my will, from today onwards, the expenses in the palace will be saved except for the worship expenses of the emperor and the concubine, and the rest will be saved, and the concubines of the harem shall not wear jewelry and jade, and I and my concubines shall not eat meat, of course, except for my princes and princesses, their bodies are important, but they must also be limited! Spend all the surplus money and food on relief for the victims; In addition, inform the defenders of Chang'an that I have decided to reward the meritorious soldiers who guarded Chang'an this time! Wei Zheng, the imperial historian and counselor, immediately said:

"Your Majesty, the treasury is empty, if you reward the meritorious soldiers of Chang'an, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money!" Li Jiancheng smiled:

"Xuan Chengqing, you misunderstood what I meant. What I mean is that there are still many former court maids in the palace, about three or four thousand, and I have decided to dismiss these redundant palace maids, but I am afraid that they will live on the streets or be sold into the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, and many of our Tang Army soldiers have not yet married, and most of them are from the spring boudoir dream, so I decided to pair these extra palace maids with my Tang Dynasty soldiers, so that on the one hand, I can reward the meritorious soldiers, and by the way, reduce the population in the palace, reduce some rations, and in addition, the most important thing is that we can reduce some money and rewards, you can also buy the hearts of the military. After listening to Li Jiancheng's explanation, Wei Zheng, the imperial historian and counselor, immediately complimented Li Jiancheng and said:

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Yu Zhining, the imperial historian, looked at his deputy with some jealousy, Li Jiancheng saw Yu Zhining's thoughts, and immediately said out loud:

"Zhi Ningqing, as a doctor of imperial history, you should exercise your authority to picket hundreds of officials, I heard that Tang Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, this person is passive and sabotage in the affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and many subordinate officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs reported to me, saying that Tang Jian has not been in the Ministry of Civil Affairs for many days, and the affairs are deposited! As a doctor of imperial history, why don't you report and correct it? Yu Zhining heard the anger in Li Jiancheng's tone, and immediately understood Li Jiancheng's intentions. Tang Jian relied on his father Tang Jian and Tang Gaozu Li Yuan as world friends. and participated in Li Yuan's Taiyuan uprising. From the identity of Long Laochen and his participation in the struggle to help Li Shimin seize the heir, Li Jiancheng was already dissatisfied with Tang Jian, but he had just ascended the throne, and Li Jiancheng's foundation was a little unstable, so he was somewhat tolerant of Tang Jian, but this incident had touched Li Jiancheng's bottom line, and this time he finally got the opportunity. Yu Zhining immediately kowtowed:

"Yes! Please forgive your majesty for the crime of dereliction of duty, and the minister will do it immediately! After Yu Zhining finished speaking, he immediately ran outside the hall, Li Jiancheng looked at Yu Zhining's back, and sighed in his heart - although Yu Zhining is loyal to himself, Yu Zhining's personality is a little pedantic, and he also likes scruples, in the words of later generations, he is afraid of wolves and tigers. If it weren't for Wei Zheng's lack of qualifications, Li Jiancheng would definitely arrange the position of Imperial Doctor to Wei Zheng. Xu Jingzong looked at Li Jiancheng:

"Your Majesty, I don't know who will replace the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs?"

"Hmmm! I feel that Xue Lin, the servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, is diligent and diligent, and he is just right to take over! What do you think? Although Xue Lin did not fully follow Li Jiancheng's will, dealing with the victims was a black-faced steamed bun that was less than the size of a child's fist, and it was only half. A pot of rice soup porridge that can float chopsticks and is crystal clear. However, the Xue family's porridge stall is still set out, Li Jiancheng wants to use Xue Lin to make a 'thousand gold to buy bones' sign, as long as you are willing to be obedient, it will naturally be beneficial, if you are not obedient, then just wait for bad luck! Sometimes, being a king is also very helpless. At this time, Di Renjie, the commander of the Qilin Secret Guard, came to Li Jiancheng's side and whispered to Li Jiancheng:

"Your Majesty! Your guests are coming. Just wait in the side hall! Li Jiancheng nodded:

"Has he been identified?"

"Your Majesty, it's all clear, all his information is here." Li Jiancheng looked at the information handed over by Di Renjie and smiled:

"Humph! Sure enough, it's you! ”
