Chapter 92: Rich and Poor
"Your Majesty is wise and martial, can distinguish right from wrong, is not bewitched by villains, and dedicates the county seat to make Li Baiyi deeply feel the grace of God."
Li Baiyi walked into the Taiji Hall as he spoke, and when he saw his arrival, the prince immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and his face became much more relaxed.
Li Baiyi's recent performance has made the prince have some kind of reliance on him, as if as long as Li Baiyi comes, everything will be fine.
Emperor Huai'an watched Li Baiyi walk in, his expression was much more complicated, his heart was naturally happy, but he didn't dare to let those ministers see it.
Otherwise, they knew that they were partial to Li Baiyi, and how could they act in front of them.
As for Tang En, Song Guang and other ministers, when they saw Li Baiyi walking in at this time, their faces were much more ugly.
They know that the prince is easy to deal with, but the really difficult thing to deal with is Li Baiyi, a slippery boy, last time they were planted in the hands of Li Baiyi, and this time they must not let this kid succeed again.
Tang En immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, you have summoned hundreds of civil and military officials to discuss major matters late at night, Li Baiyi came so late, obviously despising Your Majesty, and the minister implored Your Majesty to kill him to set an example." ”
Li Baiyi laughed, he couldn't hold back directly, this old thing really couldn't hold his breath, he wanted to kill him in front of so many people, and it was in front of the emperor.
Song Guang on the side also stood up and said: "Li Baiyi, in front of Your Majesty, what are you laughing at, don't you even pay attention to Your Majesty." ”
Listening to these people's words, Li Baiyi was speechless for a while, scratched his ears and said: "You guys are really annoying, I really don't know how many catties and taels you have." ”
"If it weren't for your gang wanting to do something, would Your Majesty gather the ministers in the middle of the night?"
"You people, in order to pull me into the water, even His Majesty's dreams dare to disturb it, it is really a crime that deserves death!"
"You don't want to sleep, why do you want Your Majesty to suffer from such insomnia."
"Do you know that Your Majesty worries about national affairs every day, exhausts his energy, and does not eat well or sleep well."
"Instead of lightening the burden on Your Majesty, you continue to cause trouble to Your Majesty, are you worthy of being a minister?"
Li Baiyi's words made Tang En and the others furious, but they made Emperor Huai'an's heart excited.
It has to be Li Baiyi, these guys are restrained by Li Baiyi, and they can't make any big waves at all.
Why didn't this kid come over sooner and keep me waiting for so long.
But it's good to come, as long as he's here, he won't worry about scolding these guys to the blood!
Tang En took a deep breath, pointed at Li Baiyi and said, "Li Baiyi, don't talk nonsense, we are here because we are worried about the country and sharing our worries for Your Majesty." ”
"We must be conscientious and conscientious in our devotion to the king, unlike some people, although we have received His Majesty's favor, but it is like child's play."
Li Baiyi clapped his hands, nodded and smiled: "What the adults said is really reasonable, it makes me feel embarrassed by Li Baiyi." ”
"But I have a question for you, and I don't know if you dare to answer this question to me."
Emperor Huai'an's eyes became brighter and brighter when he looked at Li Baiyi: Come on, this kid is coming with a condom, and these old foxes are going to be set up by Li Baiyi's kid again.
Emperor Huai'an waved his hand, and said a little impatiently in his heart: "You kid, if you have any questions, hurry up and ask, otherwise, these adults will cut off your head." ”
Li Baiyi arched his hand to Emperor Huai'an, then looked at several adults, and said with a smile: "The minister was thinking about this problem yesterday when he was arranging food and accommodation for those disaster victims. ”
"The minister thinks about what these adults in the court and their servants are eating and drinking."
Wang Lang stood up and said with a smile: "Boss, I know this, the eunuchs and palace maids in my East Palace eat the same as my master, but the number of samples is less." ”
Li Baiyi's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you, the prince, are different from the impression of ordinary people." ”
"In the imagination of ordinary people, even if the prince is a corporal of Lixian, he will keep a distance from his subordinates."
"Prince, you are different, you even eat the same as your subordinates, you really love the people like a son."
Speaking of this, Li Baiyi looked at those adults again, and his face changed a little: "As for these adults, the food and drink of their family are different. ”
"I heard that in the house of an adult surnamed Tang, the next person eats leftovers from them as the host's family, and even so, there are dozens of kinds of dishes."
"A certain adult surnamed Song doesn't have so many types of food and drink, but it is also beyond the reach of ordinary people."
"Ordinary people can't compare, let alone those displaced people outside the city."
"Imagine what it would be like if those displaced people knew that your lords' lives were so good, and yet they were starving, and could even die of cold and starvation at any time."
"Maybe these homeless people will rise up because they feel the injustice of the world, but no one knows what will become of Dakun when the time comes."
When the officials in the hall heard this, they couldn't help but feel like earth, they really had a feeling of being there, what was the living standard of those displaced people, they didn't know, but they were simply pretending to be confused.
The two are one in the sky and one underground, if you really let the desperate homeless people know the life of these high-ranking officials and nobles, it would be strange if they were not so angry that they all rebelled!
Emperor Huai'an frowned, what Li Baiyi said, he also imagined, and naturally knew that if this situation really happened, it would bring serious consequences to Da Kun.
He now regretted that the relief food arranged for these victims seemed to be a little less, and at least they should have been able to eat thick porridge instead of clear soup and little water.
It's just that the treasury has limited deposits, and he is also powerless.
At first, he thought he was making trouble unreasonably about Li Baiyi's question.
But now it seems that Li Baiyi's problem is really very tricky.
The gap between the rich and the poor is a problem that has been difficult to solve in all dynasties, and it is almost impossible to solve.
No matter who becomes the emperor, it can only delay or reduce the gap between the rich and the poor, but cannot eradicate it.
Those who have money will only get richer, and the poor can only stay poor.
There are only a few people who can change the status quo.
After saying this, Li Baiyi looked at Baiguan again and sneered: "Now do you still think that the two bowls of gruel you give to the homeless people every day are a gift to the homeless people and a solution to the problem." ”
When the people heard this, they fell silent,
