"Li Ji?"

Li Changfeng frowned, and began to search for memories about Li Ji in the memories of his predecessor, revealing a sudden look after a while.

The reason why the predecessor was thrown to Baishi City back then was because of the blood of the previous dynasty flowing on his body, and on the other hand, because he saw that the sixth prince Li Ji was actually a woman on the street, and he was blinded by himself who was wandering around.

During the fight, the predecessor kicked Li Ji between his legs hard, causing one to shatter and almost making him a eunuch.

At that time, this incident caused a storm in the whole capital, and Li Ji's mother and uncle, who was a general, refused to give up and complained to Emperor Qianwu to put pressure.

Emperor Qianwu was also very angry when he learned of this, Li Changfeng had no one to speak for him because he had no background, and his mother was a princess of the previous dynasty, in order to calm his anger, Emperor Qianwu finally had to use Li Changfeng's adulthood as a reason to throw him to the wild place where birds don't in Baishi City.

It can be said that the tragic experience of the predecessor was caused by Li Ji.

Now because of a trivial incident in front of the palace, Li Ji took the opportunity to target him.

At this time, he was still adding fuel and vinegar, trying to get Emperor Qianwu to punish Li Changfeng fiercely: "Father, the Nine Emperor Brothers' sins are unforgivable, and it is difficult to convince the public if they are not severely punished. ”

This advice is very vicious.

Once Li Changfeng loses the protection of the prince's identity, isn't it up to him?

Even if you kill it directly, there will be no problems.

As soon as these words came out, the hall was in an uproar.

Even if many ministers who can't see the sycophants of the Nine Emperors can't see it, the loss of honor in front of the palace is not a big deal, and there is no reason to rise to the height of degrading the status of the prince.

Hearing his words, Li Changfeng's face immediately became a little gloomy.

Emperor Qianwu's face was not very good-looking, how could he not know what Li Ji was thinking?

Back then, he was deceived by Li Ji, and in a fit of rage, he drove Li Changfeng out of the capital and threw him into a wild place like Baishi City, and found out the truth afterwards.

It's just that the holy decree has been issued, and as the emperor, he can't change his order overnight, so he can only let Li Changfeng continue to stay in Baishi City, and he has always felt a little guilty in his heart.

As for Li Changfeng's performance just now, no one knows the reason better than him, and there is no disrespect at all as Li Ji said.

Emperor Qianwu glanced at Li Ji coldly, and said in an indifferent tone: "Xiao Jiu knows that he is filial, and he has no disrespect, so this matter is stopped." ”

Hearing this, Li Ji was stunned and was about to speak, when Emperor Qianwu waved his hand and said, "All the emperors should step aside." ”

Li Ji knew that Emperor Qianwu didn't want to pursue the matter, so he had no choice but to retreat, anyway, he didn't have much hope at first, he would kill Li Changfeng if he could kill him, and if he couldn't kill him, it would be no loss to him.

just glared at Li Changfeng coldly before leaving, his eyes were full of resentment.

Li Changfeng looked at him fearlessly, with a hint of disdain on the corner of his mouth.

Want to trap me?

Okay, today this account book prince has written down!

The princes retreated, and Emperor Qianwu said with a headache: "Zhongqing's family, what should be done about the flood in Shangzhou?" ”

During this period, it rained heavily in Shangzhou for several days, causing the flood to rise sharply, and the disaster situation became more serious, and there were signs of embankment failure in many places.

Although the 300,000 taels of disaster relief silver that had been raised before had only time to spend tens of thousands of taels, judging from the current disaster situation, it was far from enough.

Emperor Qianwu was also helpless about this, so he could only continue to consult with his ministers.

Feng Qujian immediately stepped out of the ranks, frowned and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the top priority is to strengthen the embankment, once the embankment collapses, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Gu Tiancheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, stood up, looking a little helpless: "What the prime minister said is extremely true, but now the heavy rain has made the construction speed extremely slow, and the current situation cannot keep up with the rising speed of the flood!" ”

Emperor Qianwu interjected at this time: "Why don't you increase the manpower? ”

Gu Tiancheng arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen also wants to, but the young and middle-aged people who can be used now have been recruited, and the rest are old, weak, sick and disabled, and the people below are also helpless!" ”

Hearing him say this, Chen Dingyuan, the head of the household department, was a little puzzled, and asked with a frown: "Lord Gu, the land of fish and rice in Shangzhou has a large population, how can it not even be found to build the embankment?" ”

Emperor Qianwu was also a little puzzled by this, and looked at Gu Tiancheng.

Gu Tiancheng explained: "It's true that the population is large, but due to the floods, ordinary boats are difficult to pass, many people are unable to reach the levees, and local officials have to send some people to participate in the disaster relief, which leads to a shortage of manpower." ”

As soon as these words came out, the court suddenly fell silent.

The problem now seems to be unsolvable.

Just when everyone didn't know what to do, Chen Dingyuan, the secretary of the household department, spoke again: "Your Majesty, the treasury is empty, and the problem of silver has yet to be solved!" ”

Emperor Qianwu frowned slightly and said, "Didn't you raise 300,000 taels a while ago, haven't you spent it yet?" ”

Chen Dingyuan arched his hand and said: "The silver has not been spent, but it will be spent sooner or later, and there is still a gap of 200,000 taels, so we have to find a way to solve it, right?" ”

Speaking of this, Chen Dingyuan hesitated, gritted his teeth and said: "If the embankment bursts, there will be countless victims who need to be rescued, and rebuilding the embankment is also a huge expense, no matter what the result, it will require a lot of silver. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the courtiers were shocked, and they didn't expect Chen Dingyuan to say the worst result so straightforwardly.

If you dislike Your Majesty, wouldn't you be asking for your own hardship?

However, Emperor Qianwu was not angry, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Chen Aiqing is so far-sighted, I am very relieved, in Aiqing's opinion, what should I do about the silver two?" ”

Chen Dingyuan said helplessly: "Wechen hasn't thought of a suitable way yet!" ”

Emperor Qianwu was speechless for a moment.

I can't help what you say?

Emperor Qianwu looked at the ministers again: "What do you think Aiqing should do?" ”

However, the ministers bowed their heads and remained silent, and no one stood up to speak.

Emperor Qianwu frowned, and couldn't help but think of Li Changfeng, and his eyes searched.

I saw Li Changfeng leaning against a pillar in the corner of the main hall, sleeping with his eyes closed, not caring at all about the national affairs discussed by the ministers.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Qianwu was angry and said in a deep voice: "All the emperors who have been released from abroad, you have all been in the field for several years and have a wide range of knowledge, so you all talk about what should happen to this matter!" ”

Hearing this, Li Changfeng opened his eyes and glanced at Emperor Qianwu, and found that his gaze seemed to be looking at him, so he hurriedly lowered his head.

He is not interested in this kind of showy thing at all, just be a little transparent.

However, Li Ji felt that this was a rare opportunity to perform, and as soon as Emperor Qianwu's voice fell, he bowed his hand and did a full salute, and said confidently: "Father, the son thinks that for the sake of today, he can only temporarily stop disaster relief, and requisition everyone to strengthen the embankment, and at the same time order the world to increase the tax burden and collect it to the treasury as soon as possible, so as to prepare for the future!" ”

As soon as Li Ji's voice fell, the entire court suddenly fell silent, and Emperor Qianwu's brows couldn't help frowning tightly.

It really works.

However, if we abandon the relief of the victims and devote ourselves to building levees and increasing the tax burden on the world, this kind of thing may shake the country's foundation, and no one will dare to speak up easily.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Emperor Qianwu took the initiative to ask, "What do you Aiqing think?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers who secretly supported Li Ji spoke one after another.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks what His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince said is reasonable!"

"So far, this is the only way!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister also seconded it!"

For a time, there were more and more people who supported the Six Princes.

Seeing this, the eldest prince Li Chengye arched his hand and said: "Father, although what the sixth emperor brother said is a good way, but there are also obvious shortcomings, if you give up the relief of the victims, it will definitely lead to public resentment, and it is inevitable that the people of Fengtianhui will take the opportunity to make trouble!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the sixth prince retorted: "How unwise is the imperial brother? If the embankment is not built, when the embankment bursts, Shangzhou will become an ocean, and more people will die, so they can only sacrifice the small to protect the big! ”

Li Chengye frowned slightly and didn't say anything more.

He also knew this truth, and the reason why he pointed out the inappropriateness was to let Emperor Qianwu know that he was also worried about the country and the people, and it was not so useless.

It is enough to achieve this goal.

It's just that Li Ji's words when refuting him were quite fierce and a little aggressive, which made him a little annoyed in his heart.

Li Shou intended to compete for the position of the crown prince, so he naturally would not remain silent at this time, and bowed to Emperor Qianwu and said: "Father, what the sixth emperor brother said is not unreasonable, but the tax burden of the great cadres is already very high, if it is increased again, I am afraid that the people of the world will be dissatisfied!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Ji retorted loudly: "Brother Huang's words are wrong, do you want to let the land of Shangzhou go unattended?" Don't you know that it is difficult to have a two-way plan in the world, and increasing the tax burden will certainly lead to dissatisfaction among the people, but do you have a better way? ”

"......"

Li Shou was suddenly speechless.

He really had no better way, so he could only glare at Li Shou coldly and keep silent.

Li Changfeng lowered his head, silent like an outsider, and he couldn't be more low-key.

Emperor Qianwu was a little unhappy when he saw this, and said in a deep voice: "Changfeng, do you have a good plan for this?" ”

I don't even call the nickname 'Xiao Jiu', I call the name directly.

"Huh? I? ”

Li Changfeng was a little surprised, he didn't expect Emperor Qianwu to let so many ministers of the court and the central government ask about himself without asking.

"Yes, it's you, tell me what you think!" Emperor Qianwu said with some hatred that iron is not made of steel.

"Oh, I can't help it." Li Changfeng immediately said, what are you kidding, this kind of big thing is a little transparent and mixed with a ghost, and it is possible that he will be remembered by several princes who are vying for the throne in a minute, and that is not a big trouble.

A sixth prince is aimed at himself like this, and if there are a few more, he will feel very troublesome even if he is not afraid.

Seeing that he answered directly without thinking about it, Emperor Qianwu was a little annoyed and said, "Did you not think about it or really had no choice?" ”

Li Changfeng said helplessly: "Erchen really can't help it, what is to help the victims, what is to increase the tax burden, how can Erchen understand this?" Father, you have discussed it with the others, and you have done it. ”

He had already made up his mind to pretend that he didn't understand anything and not attract anyone's attention.

Hearing this, Emperor Qianwu couldn't help frowning, and his heart was annoyed.

He felt that Li Changfeng hadn't thought about these issues at all, and he was completely perfunctory if he didn't understand anything.

If Li Changfeng was so unbearable, how could he manage Baishi City so prosperous?

How could it be possible to make such a lucrative business as Xiaoyucha, refined salt, and Honey Snow Bingcheng?

How could it be possible to develop such powerful things as artillery and muskets, which can be called the most important weapons of the country?

Seeing this, Li Ji smiled coldly and said: "Hmph, it's really mud that can't support the wall, I don't understand anything, no wonder I can only stay in a dilapidated and wild place like White Rock City!" ”

The clay figure also has three points of fire, and has been targeted repeatedly, Li Changfeng is inevitably a little annoyed, but because he wants to continue to hold on, he doesn't want to respond.

At this moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in Li Changfeng's mind.

No, isn't this a good opportunity to deliver it to your door?

Back then, the predecessor kicked Li Ji to pieces and was sent to Baishi City, and now he will beat him again?

As long as he makes things bigger, I believe that Emperor Qianwu can only let him continue to return to Baishi City, this is the result he wants!

The more I think about it, the more excited I get!

Hearing what Li Ji said, Emperor Qianwu couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, feeling that what he had repeatedly done to Li Changfeng was a bit too much.

was about to reprimand, but heard Li Changfeng shout: "Bastard, why are you sick?" It's easy to bully when Lao Tzu, isn't it?! ”

Before the words fell, Li Changfeng smashed Li Ji's nose with a punch.

Bang!

Li Ji only felt dizzy for a while, and fell to the ground with a plop.

Li Changfeng didn't give up, so he simply rode up and beat him up.

"What are you, and you are qualified to say that about this prince?"

"Back then, when you were a strong girl on the street, this prince kicked your balls, and it didn't take a long lesson at all, right?"

"Is this prince a sludge, what does it have to do with you?"

"I don't understand anything, what's in your way?"

Every time Li Changfeng said a word, he picked out the parts that were not dead but were very painful, and punched him hard, and Li Ji, who was in pain, was pale and screamed.

"Ahh Hurt! Hurt! Hurt! ”

"Stop fighting, stop fighting!"

"Father, help, Li Changfeng is going to kill someone!"

Li Ji was really a little scared, and couldn't help but think of the scene when he was kicked to pieces, and his heart felt a chill.

But Li Changfeng had no intention of stopping, and took this opportunity to avenge his predecessor, punching one punch after another.

"Now you know it hurts? Why did you go earlier? ”

"I thought you were so tough, and you knew how to ask for someone?"

"Oh yes, you don't have an egg, and you're half a eunuch, how can you be angry?"

"Rubbish stuff!"

Li Changfeng still punched hard every time he said a word.

Who would have thought that Li Changfeng would suddenly fight another prince with a good background on such an important occasion as the court meeting.

For a while, all the ministers and princes were a little unresponsive, and watched Li Changfeng beat Li Ji with a dull expression.

Emperor Qianwu never thought that Li Changfeng would beat someone in front of him, and he was stunned on the spot, and only then did he react when Li Ji shouted for help, and his face became extremely gloomy.

"Bastard thing! Don't stop me? Is there a place above the court where you can mess around? ”

Li Changfeng naturally would not disobey the holy decree, and immediately arched his hand and said: "The son obeys the decree!" ”

Then he looked at Li Ji viciously and said, "Looking at my father's face, I will spare you today!" ”

Although he said this, his feet did not stop, and he continued to ride Li Jiyi and kick violently.

The cheap emperor's father shouted at him to stop, but he didn't tell him to stop!

Everyone who saw this scene was shocked.

What do you call to give His Majesty face?

What do you call forgiving others?

Emperor Qianwu was even more furious: "Bastard thing! Gao Dali, go get him away! ”

The three changes are 11,000 words, which is equivalent to five ordinary chapters. First order over a thousand and more to come!
