Chapter 311: Li Shimin's Visit
Seeing that Li Shimin was so angry, Wang De hurriedly said;
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Ji seems to be absurd in doing things, but there is a deep meaning behind it, this newspaper has to take out a lot of money a year to distribute to the scourge in the capital,
But now it seems to be well worth it. The old slave heard that they had a clear division of labor, if any state capital dared to interfere with the newspaper branch to write things,
These gentlemen will go to find fault, and the officials of the state and county do not dare to deal with so many second-generation disciples, even the officials of the family. Wang De told what he knew, and he didn't forget to praise Li Shen.
There is a saying that the little one comes to the old one. There are more than 100 officials and two generations, and dozens of court officials, and anyone is enough for him to drink a pot.
"What is written in Jin Wuwei's recital?" Li Shimin relieved his mood and asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, it is said in the memo that just now the prince mobilized the prince's six rates to search for orphans who had no father and mother among the victims, and it is said that six or seven hundred children were taken away."
Wang De has been observing Li Shimin's face after speaking, this matter is not a trivial matter, you must know that the cultivation of dead soldiers is also an orphan.
It is somewhat intriguing why the prince took so many orphans for, and the most important thing is that the prince did not inform His Majesty about this matter.
Li Shimin was silent for a while and then said;
"Go to the East Palace."
No matter what Li Chengqian's reason is, he has to go and see. The prince finally got on the right track, and Li Shimin didn't want to go astray.
The East Palace is only separated by a wall from the Imperial Palace, and Li Shimin arrived at the East Palace in a moment.
Li Shimin walked in directly without a notice, and heard a noisy sound as soon as he walked in.
Then I heard Li Chengqian's voice,
"Quick, the one over there has run, grab him."
"Is that one over there convenient, hurry up and ask someone to clean it up,"
"Why is this crying all the time, is it sick, pass on the imperial doctor."
Li Shimin quickened his pace and walked into the back house, and saw that the courtyard was full of children, large and small, and hundreds of guards were maintaining order.
But where will they take their children when they are soldiers, and those over seven or eight years old are fine, they are all more sensible, and they wait quietly according to the arrangement.
But when the younger ones come to a strange environment, they either cry or make trouble, and then they run around, especially some three or four years old.
Li Chengqian held an infant baby in his hand and stood in the middle of the courtyard, also hurriedly commanding.
Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian, who was standing in the middle, and suddenly felt that this boss was the most suitable for being the emperor, and an emperor should have a benevolent heart.
Li Shimin felt that water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, if the people of the world support you, even if there is rebellion, the people will help the emperor crusade against rebellion.
When Li Shimin approached, Li Chengqian found Li Shimin.
"I've seen Ayer."
Li Shimin didn't speak, but stepped forward to look at the crying baby that Li Chengqian was holding in his arms.
"I should be hungry, call the nurse."
"Oh, oh. Go and call the nurse. Li Chengqian hurriedly ordered.
Three or four of these children are still nursing children. So Li Chengqian had already found a few nurses.
After the nurse came, she took the child down to feed, so it was inconvenient to talk about it in detail.
Li Shimin turned around and instructed Wang De
"Go back to the palace and transfer three hundred maidservants, how can a man take a child."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Wang De hurried back to the palace, to say that there are a lot of maidservants. They are all family members of prisoners.
After a while, Empress Changsun personally came to the East Palace with hundreds of maids. The harem is under the jurisdiction of the queen, and the mobilization of maidservants is of course required by the queen's will.
When Empress Changsun heard that she was going to mobilize three hundred maidservants to take care of the children in the East Palace, she immediately came in person as a mother.
She was afraid that Li Chengqian would be punished for doing something wrong, so she came to solve the disaster for her son.
Under the command of Empress Changsun, these children were finally settled, and Empress Changsun mobilized some futons from the harem.
With the queen and the crown princess busy, Li Shimin and his wife came to Li Chengqian's study when they were fine.
"Gao Ming, why are there so many children." Li Shimin asked knowingly.
"Aya, these are orphans outside the city, after their parents came here, some of them were infected and died, and some of them froze to death, but there should be some of them whose parents are still alive and sent in just to give their children a way to live."
"Alas," Li Shimin sighed.
"Aya, I've just seen it, many of them are children of a few years old, it's hard for children to imagine how they lived,
Looking at the way they looked, I felt that they might not be able to survive tonight. I asked Wu Wei, and they said that there were many young children in the corpses disposed of today. ”
"How did you come up with the idea of bringing them all to the East Palace?" Li Shimin took a sip of tea.
"At noon, the tenth brother came to find Erchen." After hesitating, Li Chengqian still betrayed Li Shen.
"Old ten?" Li Shimin was surprised.
"Yes, Aya, the tenth brother went to the east of the city this morning to give porridge and met an incident....... Li Chengqian then told Li Shimin the story that Li Shen told him. Then continue.
Then the tenth brother came to me and told me to come forward and build an orphanage. Dedicated to orphans. It's just that I haven't found a place where I can put so many people down yet, so I'll put it in the East Palace for the time being. Please forgive Aye. ”
Looking at Li Chengqian, Li Shimin was very pleased.
"You are the crown prince, the East Palace is yours, you can do whatever you want, not to mention that this is a good thing, what a crime."
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he thought about it and continued;
"However, it is not a long-term solution to be placed in the East Palace, and it is still necessary to find a place outside."
"Yes, my son and my tenth brother also think the same way, and they are looking for another place, but now it is winter, and the junior brother said that he wanted to build an orphanage, but it was too late." Li Chengqian replied.
"Well, tell Lao Shi that I will give him a piece of the land where the orphanage was built. Alas~ Lao Shi asked you to do it, in fact, Lao Shi has concerns, this kid is good at everything, but he is too timid.
Since he paid you to do it, you can do it. The people of the Tang Dynasty are all the people of my Li family, and my Li family should have taken care of them. ”
Since his son has done it, he can't be too stingy when he is a son, otherwise his bastard son won't know how to say that he is slamming the door behind his back.
Li Shimin instructed Li Chengqian to get up and prepare to return to the palace, and Li Chengqian sent Li Shimin to the door.
"Gao Ming, these children are so pitiful, you must take good care of them." Empress Eldest Sun gently wiped her tears.
Just now I heard the crown princess talk about the life experience of these children, and the eldest grandson queen was distressed.
"Mother rest assured, my son will take good care of them." Li Chengqian hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.
"Yes, Gao Ming will take care of it, so don't be sad." Li Shimin was also comforting.
At this moment, a carriage came rapidly in the distance, and Li An was originally going to prepare for martial law, but when he saw that it was the carriage of King Ji's mansion, he was not so nervous.
Li Shen came to tell Li Chengqian that he had found a place to house those orphans, and asked Li Chengqian to prepare tomorrow.
When the carriage was about to arrive at the gate of the East Palace, the guard reminded Li Shen, and Li Shen naturally glanced through the window.
"I'm grass, don't stop, go quickly."
