"Presumptuous, food said, they ...... How dare they be so disobedient!! ”

"At present, the people are in dire straits, there is no food to eat, and they still have leisure to play!!"

Looking at the fold in his hand, Li Shimin was so angry that he trembled.

There are two folds in total.

One is that he was rejected for taking grain from the family.

The other is a few children of the family playing and eating lavishly, and the food wasted on the wine table alone is enough to make hundreds of victims hungry.

"These families, really deceive me Li Tang no one? Bully me, Li Shimin doesn't dare to make a move on them?! ”

Angrily fell down, Li Shimin's eyes were red, and he couldn't wait to tear those children of the family alive.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling, who were accompanying him beside him, were silent and did not dare to speak.

Even the eldest grandson Wuji, who knows Li Shimin best, is only gently soothing Li Shimin's heart at this time, and he doesn't know what to say to comfort the family's behavior.

Now.

The family is extremely powerful, mainly because of the power given by Li Shimin.

In order to stabilize the throne, he tried his best to win over the family, and the family gave assistance to this, but their assistance was not gratuitous, and after Li Shimin stabilized the throne, they all got what they wanted.

It was a win-win situation, but this made the family full of children in the court, and the voice was so powerful that Li Shimin's voice was suppressed.

Now it's even more rampant that he doesn't give him food if he asks for it!!

No......

The family excerpt says that it can be given.

But that fold, everywhere is full of names of the children of the family, those positions are not held by the children of the family, if he compromises because of this, his voice will be reduced again.

And, this will also represent a signal.

The Li family of the Tang royal family, bow to the family!!

He Li Shimin failed in this game, and a failure would make the family gain an inch, and it was also very possible to be elevated as a puppet emperor.

If it is an ordinary mediocre emperor, as long as he can keep the throne, as long as the family can keep the royal majesty on his face, he can not care about the rest.

But Li Shimin is different, he is an ambitious, ambitious, and power-hungry king!!

He does not allow himself to be an emperor, and he has to compromise with certain forces, so how could Li Shimin allow such a situation where the court is full of children of the family!!

But what can you do if you don't compromise?!

In March of the second year of Zhenguan, the locust plague in the Guannei was everywhere, thousands of miles of red land, Chang'an and the palace were not spared, and even the imperial capital was affected, which shows the suffering of the people on the border.

In May of the third year of Zhenguan, locust plagues appeared in five prefectures and counties, and there was no grain harvest.

In the autumn of the fourth year of Zhenguan, there was another locust plague in Sanzhou.

And this year, after the locust plague, the displaced people reached a terrifying index, and they were waiting for food rescue outside the imperial city.

If at this juncture, he fell out with the family, and the family had food, it was possible to give food to the hungry people, degrade him Li Tang, and cause a change in the generations.

And if it hadn't collapsed, after several years of catastrophes, the grain reserves of the imperial city treasury would have been emptied long ago, and he had no food in his hands now, how could he let those victims have enough to eat?!

Deadend.

It's a terrible deadlock!!

Li Shimin also thought of this, his scarlet eyes were full of helplessness, and he sighed for a while, "Auxiliary, Xuan Ling, do you two have a trick?!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling are his henchmen, and they are also his brains, and they have solved various things for him in various wars and political affairs.

This time, when encountering difficulties, Li Shimin looked at them with expectation, eager to get the same tricks as before, when encountering danger.

however

This time his expectations were disappointed.

Eldest Sun Wuji and Fang Xuanling both lowered their heads in shame.

"Your Majesty, this game is too difficult."

"The minister thinks that it is better to send troops to the southern cities to get food."

"As for the ...... of the Imperial City Family"

The eldest grandson Wuji paused, quite hesitant.

"Say!!"

Li Shimin's tone was slightly angry.

"Yes!!"

The eldest grandson Wuji saluted and said, "On the side of the family, the ministers think that they can't take a tough way, and today they jointly issued an excerpt, asking Your Majesty to open a position for the children of the family, and it is obvious that a united front has been formed, and it is ironclad. ”

"To deal with them like this, if they are uprooted at one time, it is fine, but if only one of them is moved, it will only affect the whole body, and then Your Majesty will not only have to face the problem of food for the homeless, but also have to play a game with the family, and the gains outweigh the losses!!"

Fang Xuanling arched his hand, "Your Majesty, Weichen seconded the proposal." ”

"So, there's no other way?!"

Li Shimin sighed.

The eldest grandson Wuji both bowed and did not dare to raise their heads.

"Alas, go down, go down, go down."

Li Shimin waved his sleeves and weakly dismissed the two important ministers to leave.

"No!!"

The eldest grandson Wuji and the two hurriedly retired.

After they left, Li Shimin sat on the steps under the throne with a rather ungraceful demeanor, "Guanyin, according to what they said, go to the south to get grain, not to mention whether there is still surplus grain in the south, just this distance, beasts on the way, weather and many other factors will greatly slow down the return time." ”

"When they return, how many of my people will starve to death? This bureau ...... I don't have a solution!! ”

Li Shimin is extremely decadent.

Because of the scarlet eyes that had not slept all night, two lines of hot tears fell.

The eldest grandson Wujian came to him and squatted down, still soothing his heart for him, "Your Majesty, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, don't fall into despair too early." ”

Li Shimin didn't raise his head, "In this situation, there seems to be only one way left, and that is to bow to the family, so that the family is happy that the people are saved, and the two of them benefit, but it is just a long-cherished wish in my heart, and it is one step further." ”

"However, in order to save my people, I can only ......"

The words are not finished yet,

The eldest grandson Wujian put his slender jade finger against Li Shimin's lips and didn't let him speak.

"Guanyin, you ......"

The eldest grandson Wujian laughed, smiling like a flower.

"Your Majesty, it's not time to despair."

"As early as today, when I came to the early dynasty, there were guards and the palace to explain, there seems to be some food on Kuan'er's house, a lot of it, maybe we can go to find out, with Kuan'er's character who likes to store, maybe the food can give us some surprises."

Kuan'er?!

Li Shimin was slightly stunned, Kuan'er's name was Li Kuan, and he was Li Shimin's second son, but he was succeeded by his father Li Yuan to Li Zhiyun, the king of Chu Ai, as a son in his early years, and the relationship between the father and son existed in name only.

I still remember that Kuan'er passed on to Li Zhiyun back then, he didn't say a word, he felt extremely guilty, and subconsciously didn't want to meet Li Kuan, so even if Li Kuan lived in Chang'an for a long time, he couldn't see him a few times a year.

I don't want to see each other, plus a prince is still a teenager, how to solve the food problem that gives civil and military officials a headache?

So when he heard it in a hurry, Li Shimin waved his hand boringly, "Guanyin, I won't go." ”

"I'm tired, go back and rest first, and by the way, think about how to arrange it next."
