Chapter 7: King Chu, the truth is unfathomable

"Then, sir, what are we going to do?!"

The old slave was a little overwhelmed.

The eldest grandson Wuji is even more of a headache, this thing is like a problem of the century, the family can't touch it for the time being, and the grain merchant turns to the family, how is this good!!

"Lord Eldest Sun."

At this moment, a personal guard of Li Shimin walked in and arched his hand, "Your Majesty has an order, ordering you to go to the Chu Palace, there must be no mistake!" ”

Chu Wangfu!?

Where is that?!

The eldest grandson Wuji was a little surprised, but he still responded to the other party immediately.

"I know."

After the guard left, the old slave seemed to know that his master was confused, so he opened his mouth to explain.

"Master, this old slave knows that it is the mansion of Li Kuan, the king of Chu."

The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly realized.

"It was him! Your Majesty...... Forget it, you will enter the palace immediately with me, and the old man still needs you to lead the way. ”

The eldest grandson Wujian hurriedly cleaned up, and went to the palace with the old slave master and servant.

On the other side,

Fang Xuanling was also ordered to go, and the two met at the gate of the Chu Palace.

"Auxiliary, you're here too? Your Majesty summoned us in the middle of the night, do you know what? Why don't we breathe first? ”

"Ahem, the official doesn't know, but I think Your Majesty has your own considerations, let's wait for Your Majesty to explain it."

The two walked together.

Both of them have sad faces, and they are both worried about food.

"By the way, auxiliary, have you raised any food? I'm ...... To tell you the truth, almost all the grain merchants in the east of the city refused to sell, and only a few scattered small grain merchants were willing to cooperate with the imperial court. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji sighed, "The old man's side is even more miserable, and there is not a grain merchant." ”

Fang Xuanling's eyes flashed with anger, "These families are too much, they want to force Datang to death, what good is this for them!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji rubbed his forehead with a headache, "If you don't earn money, there is no benefit, and even because of the major grain merchants, they use a lot of gold and silver, but we have more headaches, what the family needs...... It is an obedient majesty, this time is a godsend for them, even if it costs countless gold and silver, they will cover the food in their hands. ”

"As long as Your Majesty bows his head, then it will be a big leap, and the loss of gold and silver incurred during this period will be doubled back."

Fang Xuanling became more and more furious, "These damn vampires! For the so-called power, he is so reckless of human life! If they do this, they will be punished!! ”

Eldest Sun Wuji sighed.

What retribution?

Over the years, and even many dynasties in the past, haven't they all been manipulated by the family like this?!

Otherwise, how could there be a saying that a century-old emperor and a thousand-year-old family would have been born?!

Under the leadership of the guards, the two quickly found Li Shimin.

I saw Li Shimin at this time, holding his head high, and he couldn't stop smiling at the corners of his mouth.

The two were slightly shocked in their hearts, and they looked at each other tacitly, as if they had thought of something.

Then he saluted.

"Minister, Fang Xuanling/eldest grandson Wuji, meet Your Majesty."

"Hahaha, auxiliary machine, Xuan Ling, you can count it here."

Li Shimin stepped forward to help the two important ministers up.

"Your Majesty, you ...... You've found food?! ”

Eldest Sun Wuji couldn't help but ask.

Recently, Li Shimin has been worrying about food, but tonight he is unusually smiling, except for the solution of the food problem, he can't think of anything else that can make Li Shimin happy.

"Yes, you know me, I have indeed found food, and it is enough to fill the stomachs of all the victims!!"

Rumble!!

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling widened their eyes fiercely and said in unison.

"Your Majesty, is that true?!"

"Food...... Is the grain really found? We need hundreds of thousands of servings of food!! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was a little unconvinced.

A few hours ago, they were still worried about food with Your Majesty, but now that the major grain merchants in Chang'an have thrown themselves into the arms of the family, only a few hours have passed, and Your Majesty has found a solution?!

This...... This is too fantastic!!

"Why do I want to talk about it, auxiliary, you come with me."

Li Shimin couldn't wait to drag the eldest grandson Wuji to the basement, and in an instant, he saw the bags of grain piled up densely.

"Your Majesty, this ...... This, this, this turned out to be true, so much food. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was shocked.

Fang Xuanling also walked quickly, and when he saw the grain in the basement, he was even more shocked than the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Your Majesty, where did so much food come from? We are in the Chu Palace, it is difficult to ......"

Fang Xuanling wanted to speak and stopped.

Li Shimin said with a smile, "Xuan Ling, you guessed right, this is Kuan'er's masterpiece, I used to underestimate him, but I didn't expect him to be so capable." ”

More than capability!

Having a storage depot that is enough to solve the grain of hundreds of thousands of people is simply capable!!

"With this food, there is no need to be afraid of the locust plague!!"

Li Shimin regained his previous self-confidence as an emperor and ordered, "Auxiliary, Xuan Ling, I asked you to come over tonight, because I need you to complete the food arrangements as soon as possible." ”

"In this way, you are responsible for sending people to count and operate the grain, and Xuan Ling, you are the outsider, and you are sending someone to inform my people that they are going to get food tomorrow!!"

"This must be done before dawn, and if it is overdue, I am the only one who asks!!"

The two were given orders,

After Li Shimin left, they began to do their jobs.

"Master, what kind of person is this King of Chu, he has such ability."

The old slave of the eldest grandson family was extremely amazed.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at the endless grain reserves, his eyes flickered, "King Chu...... I have never seen him walk into the court's field of vision, wander outside of power, and have the energy that only people with power have, he ...... Have no bottom!! ”

………………

Late at night.

The Mansion of the Lu Family.

Compared with the wailing of the victims outside the mansion, the mansion is full of singing and dancing.

Today is a major festival for the Lu family.

Five surnames and seven wangs, except for the head of the Taiyuan Wang family, all gathered here to hold a banquet.

At the banquet, there were dozens of dishes alone.

It's not just a dozen, but every once in a while, even if a set of dishes can't be eaten, they will cancel that dish and replace it with a new one.

"The first batch of victims outside has reached the limit of patience, and if they don't eat, they will die, and the turning point has come!"

"Now, the grain merchants in the west of the city are all controlled by my Qinghe Cui clan, so it is not so easy for the Li family Erlang to get grain from me."

The head of the Qinghe Cui family is a middle-aged man, quite young and high-spirited.

The head of the Zheng family in Xingyang next to him was an old man, he stroked his white beard unhurriedly, and said calmly, "You can't talk too much, the rabbit will jump off the wall if you are in a hurry, Li Jia Erlang can fight a bloody way out of the throne and win the throne back then, we need to be cautious now." ”
