……

Li Chengqian stood up and expressed his opinion.

His remarks on disaster relief, together with his previous invention of the quyuan plow, the waterwheel, the planting of three-crop rice, and the establishment of an agricultural college, are all for the benefit of the people, for the sake of the people, and considerate of the peasants, and have formed a consistent spiritual outlook.

Therefore, his words did not surprise people, but made his personality and style sublimated in the hearts of the ministers!

Kong Yingda, Yu Zhining, Wei Zheng, and Yang Wei, a counselor who had just become a solid fan of Li Chengqian, all jumped out to praise Li Chengqian, thinking that Li Chengqian was benevolent and righteous, and asked His Majesty to accept the prince's request.

With them taking the lead, other ministers also stood up to support Li Chengqian. Old man Fang Xuanling also stood up and agreed with Li Chengqian's opinion.

Although there was Cheng Lao next to him staring at Li Chengqian's big eyes like copper bells, he saluted Li Chengqian.

But Li Chengqian unswervingly looked away and did not compare his eyesight with Cheng Lao, so he also had a side effect, that is, insisting on his own opinion.

"The prince is reasonable, Fang Aiqing, you write a few decrees, and the three prefectures of Xuzhou, Chenzhou, and Tangzhou will organize officers and soldiers to rescue those people who are still trapped in the flood." Lao Li agreed and ordered.

But he wasn't the only one arranged. He glanced at Cheng Lao and said, "Fate Cheng Chuliang to go to Xuzhou in case there is a planned change!" ”

Both civil and military aspects have been caught!

Such an arrangement is very thoughtful.

But after the next court, before the time reached noon, Li Chengqian was summoned by the queen.

When she saw the queen, she had always been calm and composed, but at this time she was walking anxiously around the palace.

"Queen Mother, what's the matter?" Li Chengqian asked strangely.

I saw Li Chengqian coming. The queen sighed heavily, then forcibly suppressed the restlessness in her heart, and sat down, although the sitting posture was as elegant as usual, but the beautiful lips that moved from time to time betrayed her heart deeply.

She said at this time: "There was a riot in Xuzhou, and the news just came that the mob was shouting that the royal family and the merchants of the family had loaded good things onto the Luoyang boat, but the people could only suffer in the flood. The more people shout these words, the more people will know. Let the mood of the mob grow more and more angry. ”

Hearing this, Li Chengqian's face showed surprise. Only then did I know why the queen was so anxious, it turned out that the contradiction of the riot pointed to her.

"But that's a bit ridiculous, isn't it?" Li Chengqian said puzzled.

The queen sighed, her voice a little hoarse, and picked up a cup of tea. But halfway up, I sighed again. Put it back. His face was full of helplessness.

"It's ridiculous," she said. But these words were very effective in the mob, and when they heard them, they became as excited as if they had taken medicine! ”

She took out a letter and said, "This is just delivered, many stores in Xuzhou. All of them were smashed by the mob, robbed, and destroyed. The caravans on the road were also beaten by the mob. Everything was robbed. Now it's getting more and more chaotic over there, and I heard that these mobs are going to Luoyang to pull down the things of the big ship and divide them! ”

Li Chengqian frowned, understanding her words in his heart.

Some time ago, the Luoyang boat was spread too much, and many people regarded it as a talking point, and this psychology was a kind of envy for the wealthy in the upper class. Like later generations, everyone always pays attention to rich people like Li Ka-shing. There are also people like Guo Jingjing who married into the Huo family, and there have always been a large number of people paying attention, giving birth to a child, and a large number of people and the media are paying attention. It's all the same psychology.

And now after the flood, this original envy has become a hatred of the rich.

The hatred of the rich makes the mob destructive.

In the past, it was just a riot, but now it is specific to the destruction of commerce, which has further deteriorated the nature, and Li Chengqian can't help but worry.

And the queen's worry is that the Luoyang ship she organized has now caused such a bad impact, and this responsibility will be very heavy, so heavy that even the queen may not be able to bear it.

"Queen Mother, don't worry, what you have to do now is to ask my father and the emperor to hurry up and let people go and quell the riot, otherwise the riot lasts for one day, and the impact on us will be one more day. In addition......" Li Chengqian gave the queen an idea.

But in the middle of his speech, he suddenly heard the sound of running outside, and then someone shouted: "Your Highness, something is looking for you!" ”

This is the voice of the old dragon.

Only in a hurry will the queen come here.

Li Chengqian glanced at the queen, and the queen nodded, asking people from outside to come in.

It's the fifth who comes in, and it seems to be something from the Spy Academy.

"Your Highness, Superintendent Li asked you to come over, there is a situation in Xuzhou." Five's voice said calmly.

Xuzhou? Or is it related to riots.

Li Chengqian nodded: "Okay, I'll go over now." ”

No. 5 retreated, Li Chengqian looked at the queen and said, "Queen Mother, I'll go first." In addition, I think the impact of this matter, the big ship is the point of contradiction, now you can't stop the big ship in Luoyang, I don't know how the cargo of the big ship is prepared, can it set sail? ”

Hearing Li Chengqian's news, the queen's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, hesitated, and nodded: "Okay, I'll think about it, you can go over." ”

There must be an urgent matter on the side of the spy hospital, could it be that there is a hidden situation in Xuzhou?

After Li Chengqian came out of the Lizheng Palace, he mounted his prepared horse and ran towards the spy institute.

When he arrived at the spy house, he threw the sign to the doorman, and yelled at the two bearded bodyguards to wait outside, and he ran inside.

The two bearded men didn't open their minds, and they wanted to go in, but they were pointed at their noses by more than a dozen crossbow arrows, so they didn't break in.

Li Chengqian entered inside, and when he arrived at Li Xiaogong's office, Li Xiaogong didn't talk nonsense, took out a letter that had been opened with red paint, handed it to Li Chengqian, and said: "Your Highness, there are traces of the Yang Party in Xuzhou. ”

The Yang Party is the remnant force of the Sui Dynasty, and the last time Li Chengqian led the nest to destroy it once.

"How?" Li Chengqian asked calmly.

"Our people have already learned that at first it was just a few thousand peasants who fled together to escape the flood, and suddenly someone said that they were going to the city to ask for something to eat. This statement was immediately echoed by all those who were hungry. After the unsuccessful attack on the state city, a few people died, and someone immediately carried it out, which caused more people's anger in front of everyone, so that more people stormed the state city to make trouble. ”
