Although the rebellion of the association rate did not cause Li Shimin anything, after all, he was beaten to the front, which shows that the security work is still not in place. After that, Li Shimin quickly transferred 3,000 elite escorts from Chang'an again.

The sultry people on the Bashu side were still rebelling, and the general Wuhou Shangguan Huairen attacked again and captured more than 6,000 men and women, and the rebellion was quelled again.

Anyway, this flirtatious man-made anti-commonplace, and it is a matter of minutes to be quelled, but it is a disease of scabies, and everyone is used to it.

The time entered May, and the Tang Dynasty, which had been smooth for many years, finally broke out in the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, and a great drought swept the world.

In Guanzhong, only in mid-February when the spring ploughing was in the middle of February, it was a stingy drizzle.

Not a drop of rain fell after that, and it was nothing before when it was not so hot, but in May the sun was scorching the earth in the sky, and the ground was cracked, and the crops and seedlings were so sunburned that they were dying.

Fortunately, Datang has been very rich in recent years, especially high-yield crops such as corn and potatoes in Guanzhong, Hedong and other northern regions began to cultivate a large area, and Zhancheng rice, which had been planted in Sinong Temple for two years to find out the situation, also began to be planted in the south, and there was already a large planting range.

Every household has enough grain in stock, and there are also a large number of grain stored in the official warehouses in various places, so even if there is a major drought, there will not be too miserable disasters.

The price of food has certainly risen, but it will not be a situation of fleeing famine, starvation, and changing children.

However, after all, it was a natural disaster, and Li Shimin still ordered officials above the fifth grade to write and say things in accordance with the usual edict.

Just like the big flood in Luoyang two years ago, Li Shimin asked the ministers to write a letter and say things, this is to take the responsibility for the drought on themselves, and let the ministers point out that the emperor is wrong in the end, and the emperor is easy to change.

No one wants to issue an edict, so they can only choose to let the minister write to the king about the king's mistakes, and if there is no change, he will be encouraged.

However, the ministers were not dissatisfied with the emperor, they didn't think the emperor had done anything wrong, and there were few emperors in history who could be like Li Shimin.

Such an emperor could not make any mistakes.

As far as Wei Zheng Shangshu was concerned, he only said: "Your Majesty's great cause of governing the country is slightly inferior to that of Zhenguan in the early years. But Your Majesty, this is not right, from ancient times to the present, the ministers have never heard of a country that has been defeated because of the comfort of the people, nor have they heard of a country that is stable because the people are tired every day."

Wei Zheng's meaning is very simple, that is, the emperor knows that it is right to be born in sorrow and die in peace, but this life in sorrow and death in peace is not aimed at the people, not the poor people. It's not easy for them to live a good life, and you let them live with peace of mind so that the country can be stable and not be defeated, but you have been always sending people to work hard lately, which is not the way to stabilize the world.

Wei Zheng Shangshu said that these are not aimed at the north, west, and south of the road construction, and the total number of people who built the road is not less than one million, which is definitely not less than the people recruited in the last years of Emperor Yang of Sui.

The people who can be requisitioned for road construction have standard configurations in Datang, whether it is food or accommodation, so that the servants can be fed and clothed.

In order not to deduct the situation, the Ministry of Officials and the Imperial Historical Observatory sent out a considerable number of supervision teams, many of which are the new generation of forces who have just been in the imperial examination and the first official for a few years, and they are in the stage of displaying their ambitions and wanting to do a big job, and they have nothing to do with the locality, nor do they represent any interest groups.

Let these people engage in supervision, which can maximize the effect of supervision. Not only that, but the accelerated medical staff trained over the years have also been allocated to many construction sites along the road, and the major illnesses and epidemics cannot be solved, but the minor illnesses and small disasters and small injuries are not a problem.

Wei Zheng mainly wanted to say that it was aimed at the emperor, and the emperor began to have the urge to enjoy again, because the treasury was full, and there was no battle to fight, and he also sealed Mount Tai, the emperor felt that it was time to enjoy it.

The Mingde Palace, which was originally built for his Lao Tzu, just started, and his Lao Tzu died, and the project was stopped. Not long ago, Li Shimin brought up the conversation again, saying that he wanted to finish the Mingde Palace, and said that he always had a headache when the current palace lived, and the Mingde Palace was located in Longshouyuan, the terrain was high, and it was not like the current palace room that was humid and stuffy when it was hot, so building the Mingde Palace was also good for his own wind disease.

It's over, Li Shimin also moved out of Sun Simiao, saying that Sun Simiao told him all this.

The ministers don't care whether Sun Simiao is Sun Simiao or not, and whether the emperor is really uncomfortable and not good for his health, they only know that the emperor you are a prelude to pleasure, a prelude to spending money, or a prelude to spending money from the treasury.

How can this be?

Before, the treasury was full, and the emperor wanted to build more nests, and they were not very easy to refute

But now that there is a great drought in the world, the emperor asked the hundred officials to write a book to say their mistakes, and the hundred officials are happy.

Hahaha, God help me.

I was worried that I couldn't find a reason, but now the reason is here.

There is a great drought in the world, so many years of wind and rain, why is there a sudden drought now, this shows that God feels that something bad has happened in the world, so he gives a punishment, then God feels that the world is not good, needless to say, the emperor must have done a bad job, because the Son of Heaven, the son of God, the monarch is granted by God, God feels that it is not right, it must be that the emperor is wrong, and God can't still manage the head of the little **.

Besides, your emperor has asked hundreds of officials to write a letter to say your fault, which shows that you yourself also recognize that the drought happened because of you, otherwise you would not let us say that your fault is right.

So, Your Majesty, you have made a mistake, and your fault is that you are not as careful as you used to be.

Recently, the use of people's power is nothing more than to build roads, and you build palaces, it is a good thing to build roads, and if the roads are repaired, the Tang Dynasty can have more control over Lingnan, the Western Regions, and the grasslands, which were beyond the reach of the whip before, and it is also more convenient for the trade exchanges in these places, which is a good thing for the country and the people for the Tang Dynasty.

Naturally, it will certainly not be because of the omen and warning sent down from heaven on the road repair.

Needless to say, there is only the matter of you repairing the palace, and the warning from heaven must be because the emperor wants to repair the palace, which will cause the people to be unbearable, and the farming will be delayed, so the people will be overworked, so the punishment will be sent down in advance to warn you.

The purpose is to tell Your Majesty that you should stop building palaces, and that you should cherish the people's power and continue to recuperate, so as to meet the requirements of God.

In this way, the people can be safe and tranquil, and long-term peace and stability. [.]
