On the red list outside the Suzaku Gate, the amount of grain donated by the Duke of Yan is still 640,000 stones.

In the Hall of Virtue, the atmosphere is finally normal.

Since three days ago, a batch of grain from unknown sources appeared in various grain markets in Guanzhong, and the price of doumi Baiwen has been unified, that is, the price before the price of grain soared.

Li Shimin forcibly ordered all localities to eat it directly and use it for disaster relief, no matter how much it is.

The purchase of grain was entirely borne by the imperial court.

As a result, the disaster relief situation in various parts of Guanzhong gradually stabilized.

The place is stable, and the ministers in the court naturally no longer quarrel and force Li Shimin to borrow grain.

But all the ministers had a great doubt in their hearts.

Isn't the situation almost to the point of no return, why did it suddenly turn around?

With so much low-priced grain flowing into the market, who is helping the imperial court?

Does Your Majesty know?

They all secretly observed Li Shimin's expression with their eyes.

However, except for a little loss when arguing with Wei Zheng, he was as calm as ever at the rest of the time.

Finally, the topic entered the coercion of Jieli Khan and the use of troops against Liang Shidu.

This time no one backs down.

Li Jing's analysis believes that Jieli is a bluff.

The reason is simple.

How could a threat far away in Mobei be as effective as the army approaching the city.

And these murderous Turks never did so much.

They will only raid and plunder all the way, and then get enough benefits before they are willing to retreat.

Sending envoys to deliver a message like this now wouldn't it give Datang a chance to delay?

Mobei Guanzhong is far away, and if Datang intends to bargain, he doesn't know how many times he has to run back and forth to finalize the matter.

At that time, Datang's knives will be sharpened, and the pockets will be opened, will Jieli still have the courage to come?

After listening to Li Jing's analysis, Li Shimin agreed.

In fact, if Jieli really had this ambition, there would be no Weishui Alliance last time.

With the signing of the Weishui Alliance, he Li Shimin certainly compromised, but why didn't Jieli have a weak heart?

Next, the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers directly skipped Jieli and discussed the details of the use of troops against the Liang division.

Fang Xuanling said: "For Liang Shidu, you can surrender first, so as to slow down his heart, and at the same time order Shi Liu Min, the governor of Xiazhou, to secretly prepare for war, and wait until the imperial army arrives, and can gather and annihilate it." ”

Du Ruhui then said: "Liang Shi is obsessed, the chance of victory is very small, and his subordinates will have different hearts, and they can use the strategy of division and division, and win without a fight." ”

Li Shimin thought so, and passed on Shi Liu Min, the governor of Xia Prefecture, to make him act cheaply.

The matter is over.

Subsequently, Hu Yan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, reported the monthly prisoners' accounts.

Then he brought in the prisoners one by one, and it was not long before it was the turn of Zheng Shanguo, the assassin of Qizhou.

Li Shimin left the dragon chair and personally helped Zheng Shanguo up.

All the ministers were shocked and did not know what they meant.

Zheng Shanguo was also very frightened, and he didn't even dare to say it.

"What does it mean to mix sand in the food for disaster relief?" Li Shimin asked on the spot.

Zheng Shanguo replied: "Wechen has participated in disaster relief matters many times, and found that many rich people sent servants to fill up the number and fraudulently receive money and food.

The ministers mixed the grain with sand and dust, and the rich did not bother to receive it, so that the grain could be distributed as much as possible to those who really needed it. ”

"Qing's hard work, I know it."

Li Shimin's face was ashamed: "It's just too late, it's a mistake to condemn Yu Qing." ”

After speaking, he held Zheng Shanguo's hand and shook his head.

Only then did Zheng Shanguo understand that the current saint had already expected his intentions, so he would treat him politely in front of the ministers.

"Your Majesty is aware of everything, and the minister is lucky!" Moved in his heart, he bowed to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin helped him up again and said to the ministers: "In the future, the crime of Dabi should be jointly agreed upon by Zhongshu, the officials above the fourth grade of the Menxia Province and the Shangshu Province, so as to avoid injustice."

Officials above the third grade do not need to be brought in, and they can listen to the verdict in the court around the Xiande Palace. ”

"Your Ministers obey!"

The ministers admired Li Shimin's courage to admit his mistakes.

Next, Shaoqing Hu of Dali Temple played again, saying that some children of the family violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and the evidence was conclusive, so please ask Li Shimin to decide how to deal with it.

Li Shimin only replied to him with four words.

"Severe punishment will not be slackened!"

I don't know why, the ministers who are still immersed in admiration have a jump in their hearts for no reason.
