Chapter 286: Angry Kong Xian

The Master's voice changed, as if he had become a different person.

Looking at everyone, the unruly eyes, the whole body couldn't help but tremble.

"Dusk Jun, and you traitors, let me ask you, which of you has seen the people of my Tang Dynasty outside Chang'an City?

Say, say, why don't you say it?

Could it be because the old man asked you this, didn't you dare to say?

You also say that the old man is a man who sells his reputation and reputation.

Since the old man is a person who sells his reputation and reputation, but the old man also knows what kind of situation the people in the world are like outside my Chang'an City.

I set out from Shandong, and I passed through countless cities, where the crops had long since dried up.

There are countless victims outside my cities.

There are also many cities, and the food is gone, and the people have to flee farther away.

On the way I saw a few people, and they fell alive in front of our wagon and starved to death.

I'm a fame-seeker, so I ask all of you here, what are you?

Along the way, although the old man didn't have much ability, he went to every city and saw that the local food was insufficient.

I would go there in person, to the mansion of the wealthy merchant of the clan, and prepare some food, which could alleviate the local situation.

In Chang'an City, you can be described as rich clothes and food, but do you know what the victims eat? ”

This time, this Confucius was very angry and said these words, but no one dared to go up and be angry.

None of these ministers are stupid, and they all know what the world is like.

If you go crazy with it, you will only hurt yourself in the end.

Besides, even if it's a scold, the current opportunity is not suitable, and after he finishes venting, he will be given a fatal blow.

"You are too natural to be an official in the court, and you have forgotten the people of the world at all.

Okay, let the old man tell you what kind of situation is along the way.

Along the way, the old man met disaster victims everywhere, and all of them were skinny and skinny.

Many people fell on the way to flee, and the imperial court decree required that the victims be guaranteed two meals a day, and the porridge would not fall down with chopsticks.

But along the way, the old man has never seen any city that can provide porridge to the victims of the disaster to achieve such an appearance.

Standing up with chopsticks without falling over is simply a dream.

That porridge is like clear soup with little water, and there are a handful of rice grains in it? ”

This?

"Have any of you seen the bran?"

"Bran?"

Isn't this what animals are fed?

Before the big guy could say anything, he saw the master snort coldly.

"Let me tell you, the bran is fed to the animals, do you know what it is?

Pigs, horses, cows, and sheep, all of which are animals.

But do you know what all these things are used for?

The victims of my Datang are eating the wheat bran that feeds the animals.

They are all my people of the Tang Dynasty, they are all people, and you are in Chang'an City.

Didn't think about helping my people in Datang?

I want to ask you, who grows all this food you eat?

Who paid for the tax collected by my Datang?

If it weren't for the people of the world to feed your group of officials, you would have starved to death.

On the other hand, after you become officials one by one, you don't want to help the people of Datang.

Still talking about this and that, don't you blush?

Do you eat and drink so calmly every day? ”

This angry rebuke directly pierced everyone's hearts.

But this time, as the henchman of today's saint, he couldn't bear it anymore, and stood up directly and wanted to talk about it.

"Hmph, how can this really be true, isn't your words just saying that the saints of today do not give relief to the victims?

Just say it, why hide it here? ”

"Hahahaha, so you admit it?"

"Why should we admit it?

When spring came, His Majesty had said that there would be a great drought this year, so he summoned the whole world to dig wells for the people to save themselves.

At that time, His Majesty also began to arrange for the household department to prepare grain on a large scale in the world and arrange it to our Central Plains.

Because Your Majesty knows that every time there is a disaster in my Central Plains, there will be heavy damage.

Now that there is a drought, His Majesty has arranged for manpower to deliver food to places where there is a shortage of food.

Why, Your Majesty has done so many things, but in your eyes, you turn a blind eye, what is the reason? ”

"Since the snow disaster in Datang last winter, Your Majesty has been anxious, and he has organized the people to save themselves by working for relief.

It's the same in the spring, Your Majesty has done so much these days, but you don't want to see it.

Is it possible that it is because it is not seen by you, and in your eyes, it is selectively blind?

Is this your usual style, or did you do it on purpose? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji saw blood with a knife, but Confucius was even more disdainful.

"Hmph, in that case, then let me ask you that since you have already provided disaster relief, where did the food go?"

Along the way, the victims were everywhere, and they came to you, since you said that you had prepared food.

Then why did you eat light and watery gruel and let the people eat wheat bran?

This time, the two sides fought hard in the court, as if they were not high, and they would never give up.

"Do you know how great the world is and how many people there are?

It takes time to prepare food, and it takes time to transport food, right?

This is all about time, so there will certainly be a lot of food to disperse.

Now my court is sending someone to deal with this matter as soon as possible. ”

But when they finished speaking, Confucius burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha, as expected, he is worthy of being an official of the imperial court, and his ability to reverse black and white is too strong.

In that case, I ask you why I also found a large number of troops transporting food on this road.

I also went to the local government office, but they said that the food was not used to help the victims.

On the contrary, this grain was transported to the border in the north and given to the soldiers, but is there such a thing? ”

What do you mean by that?

How did everyone feel this time, listening to it and hearing that things were going in a different direction?

"What do I mean?

"I ask the Holy Ones today, since you are already in the spring, you know that there will be a great drought in the summer.

You should know that there must be a shortage of food, so why not give priority to the people.

Instead, send troops to the Turks to start a war?

What is the benefit of a war with the Turks?

It's nothing more than a lot of killing.

At that time, the officers and soldiers of our army will suffer heavy injuries, and the people of our Tang Dynasty will also suffer heavy losses, all because your current emperor is selfish and wants to dominate! ”

Suddenly, Mo said Li Er, and even the faces of the other ministers in the entire court became particularly ugly.

Originally, he was talking about the affairs of the people, but how could he talk about the northern conquest again?

Who doesn't know that this war is a huge consumption of food, and what if we don't go to war this year?

The Turkic barbarian land is not just to ask for some food.

How about I wait for them to give them some food, and the rest of the food is enough to help the people of my Tang Dynasty.

It can not only calm the disasters in the north, but also make the people of the Tang Dynasty safe and secure.

And your faint lord has taken another unwise way, nothing more than to satisfy your vanity. ”
