Morning.

Tai Chi Temple.

Li Ci was discussing state affairs with the courtiers.

Suddenly.

The eunuch hurriedly walked in.

"Your Majesty, Shu Di Secret Report!"

The eunuch presented a copy of the recital to the emperor.

Li Ci glanced at it.

Under the court, the civil and military officials were slightly shocked when they saw this scene.

At this time, they know the truth that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and they are afraid that the emperor will come to another round of cleaning after reading the twists and turns in the next moment!

Li Ci looked at it faster and faster, and finally closed the fold and looked at the ministers: "Do you know what the Aiqing said?"

The civil and military officials were full of panic, and they all bowed together: "The ministers don't know..."

Seeing this, Li Ci was a little amused, and threw the fold to the eunuch: "Read it." ”

"Obey!" The eunuch cleared his throat and read aloud: "Your Majesty, the disaster relief in Shu has basically been calmed down. ”

"The first contribution to this disaster relief should be the grace of His Majesty. ”

"The second merit is that King Liang and other princes went to the disaster relief site day and night, if it were not for several princes to lead by example, stabilize the people's hearts, and maintain the order of disaster relief, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

"The three merits are the people of Shu, the drought in Shu, countless casualties, the people in the natural and man-made disasters, still work together, do not forget the Tang Dynasty, and finally survive the drought. ”

"In the end, the minister begged Your Majesty, although the disaster has been calmed down, but the people of Shu have been greatly injured due to the drought, and the land is barren, Chen implores Your Majesty to exempt Shu from paying taxes for three years for Shu to recover!"

"Shu Di is too guarded!"

After the eunuch finished reading, the court officials were overjoyed while sending a sigh of relief.

The ministers never expected that the disaster in Shu would calm down so quickly.

In the twists and turns of the Shu Taishou, this disaster relief, King Liang and other princes made great contributions.

At that time, when His Majesty sent several princes to Shu to preside over disaster relief, some courtiers stood up to dissuade them.

Now that I think about it, Your Majesty's every move has its own deep meaning.

Li Xi looked at the reactions of the civil and military officials.

In fact, as early as a few days ago, the Dongchang secret agent put the information on the disaster relief in front of the emperor's dragon case.

Li Ci has always taken the disaster in Shu to heart, and also ordered Cao Zhengchun to pay close attention to the matter and report to him at any time.

Therefore, the spies of the East Factory have never relaxed their surveillance of Shudi.

Shudi disaster relief is the first decision made by Li Ci after he ascended the throne, no matter from what level, there must be no mistakes.

As for why today, in this court, in front of the ministers, it is just to let the officials relax and relax.

In Li Ci's opinion, in the recent past, because of the assassination, the entire court has been panicking, and at this time, if there is good news from Shudi, it can naturally play a role in boosting morale.

...

Above the court, the ministers were full of excitement and whispered.

Li Ci leaned slightly on the throne of the dragon chair and said, "Spread my will and exempt Shu from paying taxes for five years!"

Shu Di Taishou begged the emperor to exempt him from paying taxes for three years, but Li Ci not only did not deduct it, but added it for two years.

For the emperor, this is just a matter of one sentence, but for the people of Shudi, it is a great kindness.

After this order goes down, I don't know how many people in Shu will thank the Tang Emperor from the bottom of their hearts!

"Your Majesty is merciful!"

The civil and military officials bowed down and said in unison.

Li Ci waved his hand and continued: "In addition, Shu Di Taishou has made meritorious contributions to disaster relief, and the official will be added one level and rewarded with one thousand taels of silver, and the rest of the officials will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, and the official will be promoted by half a level. ”

"Also, although the disaster situation in Shu has been calmed down, we still can't relax our vigilance, the disaster relief food must be delivered in full, and the manpower of the state capitals in various places must not be missing!"

"Leave the ten imperial doctors behind, and stay in Shu for at least a year to prevent the plague from breaking out again!"

The emperor gave a series of orders.

Now that the disaster has calmed down, Li Ci will definitely not let any more accidents happen.

Otherwise, wouldn't the previous efforts be in vain?

What Li Xi wants is foolproof!

Li Ci looked down at the ministers under him, and suddenly asked, "Since the disaster in Shu has been calmed down, can King Liang and them come back?"

The eunuch immediately said: "Back to Your Majesty, King Liang and several other princes have already been waiting outside the palace!"

"Xuan!"

"Yes!"

The eunuch received the decree and went to the palace to spread the word.

...

Outside the Royal Palace.

King Liang and the others waited silently.

King Xu couldn't help but whisper: "You say, will Your Majesty summon us?"

"Your Majesty has time, you should meet us, right?" King Bi had uncertainty on his face.

Although His Majesty has a lot of opportunities, their princes have calmed down the drought in Shu, which can be regarded as a contribution.

For the sake of this merit, the emperor should also take time to meet them.

"Don't even speak. ”

"Your Majesty can't see us or not, your Majesty has the final say, no matter how much you talk here, what's the use?"

"There are many people in the palace, even if we are the princes, we have to be cautious, otherwise, if you provoke Your Majesty's displeasure, what will happen, you know in your hearts!"

King Liang reprimanded in a low voice.

The other princes immediately stopped talking.

Shu Di and his party, they still admire King Liang.

That's it!

The eunuch walked over slowly.

King Liang's face changed slightly, and he hugged his fists and said, "Father-in-law!"

The eunuchs in the close service have no rank and no rank, and their status is low, and they can't even compare with the nine-rank officials.

But even if it is King Liang, when he sees a close eunuch, he has to be called 'father-in-law'.

The reason is simple.

Because the eunuch is the eunuch next to the emperor.

"King Liang is serious, how can the little slave afford King Liang's voice. The eunuch hurriedly said.

"My father-in-law serves Your Majesty, and I may have to take care of my father-in-law after I wait. King Liang said with a smile.

King Liang said this, paused for a moment, lowered his voice and said, "Dare to ask your father-in-law, is Your Majesty happy and angry at this time?"

Although the disaster has calmed down, the emperor should be happy.

But the emperor's thoughts, who can guess it?

Maybe the emperor didn't want to see a few of them, and made such a contribution.

The eunuch glanced at King Liang and groaned, "I don't like it or get angry!"

Subsequently, the eunuch led King Liang and others into the palace.

King Liang followed the eunuchs, passing through various palaces, and finally stopped in front of a majestic hall.

The eunuch bowed towards the main hall: "Several princes, Your Majesty is waiting inside now." ”

"Let's get inside. ”

"Don't make Your Majesty wait. ”

"Remember, you can't look up at Your Majesty without His Majesty's order!"

The eunuch finally gave a few more instructions.

King Liang and the others straightened their clothes, and finally took a deep breath and stepped into the Taiji Palace.

Following the golden royal road, passing by the civil and military officials on both sides, King Liang finally stopped in front of the ministers, knelt on the ground with a puff, and bowed deeply to the supreme and noble figure sitting on the throne of the dragon chair:

"See Your Majesty!"
