Chapter 9: Li Shimin, who has never been so confident as he is today
"That's it, I fled from Shandong, I ate everything along the way, I thought I could fill my stomach when I arrived in Chang'an, but I didn't have a grain of rice! If there is no grain in Chang'an, it will be forgotten, but I have seen with my own eyes that those grain merchants have a large amount of grain in their hands, why don't they send it to us? It's not that the Son of Heaven thinks we're useless and wants to starve us to death.!! ”
"Woo woo, I...... I ate everything on the way to escape the famine, and my father and mother starved to death on the road in order to feed me, we + we just want to live, what's wrong with us disaster victims!! ”
"Why, why don't those grain merchants give food? Are we not human because we are disaster victims? We need justice, we need the truth!! ”
"Yes, justice! Fair!! ”
"Justice! The truth!! ”
"Justice! The truth!! ”
"Justice! The truth!! ”
The victims were boiling.
The sound starts out dissonant, gradually aligns, and finally comes together.
An unstoppable sound was formed, deafening and filled with endless rage.
In a nearby restaurant.
Window location on the second floor.
With a "snap", a handsome young man put away the paper fan and was full of spirits.
"The momentum has been achieved, Li Shimin, what are you going to do?!"
The little slave next to him immediately stepped forward and said with a sneer, "Childe, the food is in the hands of the family, if Li Shimin wants to solve it, he can only ask the head of the family for food." ”
"And the head of the family, they will definitely let Li Shimin agree to the appointment of the excerpt, and at that time, Gongzi, you are the new Wupin official, it is too often ordered!!"
"At the age of eighteen, you can become a five-grade official, which is unheard of in previous dynasties, Gongzi, your future must be limitless, and you will even be recorded by the historian!!"
When the young man heard this, he felt that his heart was full of pride and ambition.
Close your eyes and feel carefully.
It seems that he has been placed in the beautiful fantasy that he is already a five-grade official.
This scene,
It appears in various places.
All the children of the family who appeared on the excerpt were present to watch the development of the situation.
In their discussions with the servants, Li Shimin said that there was no reverence for the prince of a country.
As you can imagine,
If these people are allowed to take office, will this Datang heaven still be the Li family? !
…………
The Mansion of the Lu Family.
"It's strange, listening to the information just sent back, the grievances of the victims have reached their peak, why hasn't Li Shimin come to us to get food yet?!"
The head of the Li family in Longxi was a little surprised.
Could it be that Li Shimin has food?!
It's impossible!!
Eighty percent of the grain in Chang'an City is under the control of the family, and the remaining two percent have long been consumed, and the treasury can determine the pole of emptiness.
There is no food inside.
They also had people monitoring outside, except for Hangzhou sending 5,000 people half a month's worth of food, and they were still on the road, and the other cities had no contact.
When it is obviously a dead end, why can Li Shimin still sit still?!
"Hehe, with the arrogant temperament of Li Jiaerlang, he may be about to break the jar, or ...... Even if he drowns in the saliva of the victims, he is not willing to compromise with us. ”
The head of the Li family of Zhao County smiled and gave two judgments.
And these two judgments,
Either way, it's in their favor.
The clock is ticking.
In the imperial city, everyone is already anxious to become ants on a hot pot.
"What about Your Majesty? Why hasn't it come yet? There is no food at the moment, so should we send troops to disperse the victims? ”
Du Ruyan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
This resentment of the people,
If the fermentation continues, the royal danger will be severe!!
"Prime Minister Du, don't worry, Your Majesty will have a way to solve it."
Compared with Du Ruhui's anxiety, the eldest grandson Wuji, who also summoned the victims, was very relaxed.
What's more, there is a smile on the corner of his mouth that can't be hidden.
Du Ruhui saw it in his eyes, this old boy was like this all morning, asked him and didn't say anything, he was a dumb person, and he wanted to die in a hurry.
"Auxiliary, what do you and Your Majesty rely on, tell me about it?!"
Du Ruhui asked again.
"Your Majesty will give you the answer."
The eldest grandson Wuji replied.
Du Ruhui rolled his eyes, and replied again.
"Your Majesty is here~~!!"
At this moment, a sharp eunuch's voice sounded, shaking everyone to bow down to that figure.
I saw Li Shimin wearing a yellow robe today, with a majestic face, and the two eunuchs who followed behind him each held the dust in their hands.
Full of momentum!
And it makes people feel that His Majesty still has a spontaneous self-confidence today.
This made the family officials present a little confused, they all received information that Li Shimin did not ask the family for food, where did this confidence come from? !
Surrounded by everyone, Li Shimin came to the wall of the imperial city and looked down condescendingly at the black pressure of the refugees below.
"It's Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you're finally here, we want food, we want food!!"
"Woo woo, my daughter, she...... She is going to starve to death, Your Majesty begs you, I just need a little rations, it doesn't matter if I starve to death, my daughter can't, she is still so young, she hasn't taken a good look at Datang. ”
"Your Majesty, please let those grain merchants release grain, we are not human in your eyes, you can let them distribute pig food, horse food, we just need to eat!!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has put grain!!"
The victims were boiling.
From Li Shimin's position.
As far as the eye can see, there are voices of kneeling and begging for food.
The victims were covered in tattered clothes, their faces were yellow, their lips were torn, and many of them were even more thin and godless than beggars.
He saw it in his eyes, and it hurt in his heart.
Eyes moist.
The right hand clenched tightly.
These damn families!!
The hatred for the family is even more important.
Li Shimin thought about it carefully last night and thought of a solution.
Today, whether there is any food from Li Kuan, he must summon the victims, and he will personally eat locusts in front of the victims to fill his stomach.
The world says that locusts are poisonous.
If he dies because of this, it proves that God does not want him to be the emperor, this is the destiny of heaven!!
And if it's edible, that's the new solution!!
From the beginning to the end, he did not want to compromise with the family.
He has his own pride, his own dignity, and he cannot be trampled on by the family!!
Li Shimin wanted to take a big gamble, but the appearance of grain in Li Kuan's mansion made him dispel this idea.
Kuan'er, thank you very much.
Silently thanking him in his heart, Li Shimin took a deep breath, weakly hid his heart, and regained his majesty as an emperor again.
Raise your right hand.
In an instant, many voices of public grievances gradually stopped, and they all knew that His Majesty was going to speak.
"Ladies and gentlemen, these days the droughts have come like snowflakes, and they are innumerable."
"You are all the people of the Tang Dynasty, you are a part of the Tang Dynasty, you are indispensable, I know your pain, and I will never ignore you!!"
