At this time.
The sky was still dark.
The thick fog shrouded the imperial city, and the sound of the evening drum and morning bell could be heard.
The officials, dressed in various robes and holding white jade tablets, stepped on the drums and passed through three checkpoints before slowly appearing in the Political Announcement Hall.
Today, Zhangsun Wuji came earlier than usual. When the crowd entered the Political Announcement Hall, Wei Zheng was already sleeping with his eyes closed.
Even the noise of the crowd did not have a trace of objection or reprimand.
Something was wrong!
Something was very wrong!
In the past, if the crowd was so noisy, they would have been scolded by Wei Zheng. How could he be so easy to talk to?
Just as the crowd was talking, suddenly, a light flashed through the door behind them. Then, Xiao Guizi shouted at the top of his voice.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
The crowd hurriedly tidied their clothes and then knelt on the ground.
"Welcome, Your Majesty!"
As the voice fell, Li Shimin, dressed in a yellow dragon robe, walked into the crowd's sight with majestic steps. Before they could sit down, Li Shimin waved his sleeve.
"Rise!"
The officials stood up.
But at this time, the frown of the crowd became deeper and deeper.
Something was wrong!
In today's morning court, from Zhangsun Wuji to Wei Zheng to the Emperor, there was something wrong everywhere!
At this time, Li Shimin could not wait for the crowd to speak, so he said directly, "Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has been suffering from the flames of war. Then, we experienced the Wei River and the Xieli incident. I have been looking for a chance to let the Tang Dynasty have a breather!"
"But recently, Longyou Road has encountered a rare drought. You all know about this!"
Li Shimin's voice paused, but the corner of his eyes paused for a second among the civil officials. Seeing that they just lowered their heads to listen, he could not help but say again, "But God has blessed the Tang Dynasty with a wonderful method to solve the drought in Longyou Road and help friends to establish supreme friendship. This is the gospel to stabilize the Tang Dynasty!"
"Emperor!"
At this moment.
Among the civil officials, there was a minister from the Imperial Censorate who reported, "Your Majesty, this humble subject has a memorial!"
The corners of Li Shimin's mouth revealed a smile that no one could understand. "Speak!"
"Regarding this matter, we have to start from the Tubo envoy. This humble subject heard that the Emperor received 45 million taels of gold in exchange for resources to help Tubo deal with the drought. This is really helping the people of Tubo rise in popularity …"
"Lord Sun!"
Zhangsun Wuji calmly interrupted the speaker and said, "Do you mean that His Majesty shouldn't have given it to Tubo? Do you really want to see Tubo's army besieging the city? "
Zhangsun's words made Sun Kuian's heart tremble, but he still stiffened his neck and said, "Lord Zhangsun! I heard that you were the one who proposed this! The Old Man only felt that this matter was too thoughtless! May I ask, Lord Zhangsun, how do you plan to use this money? Are you going to grind it into powder and distribute it to the disaster victims, or are you going to exchange it for food in Tubo, in … "
"Your Majesty! This old subject has a memorial to report! "
At this moment, another Confucian official from the Minister's Mansion bowed and interrupted Sun Kuian, saying, "Your Majesty, this Minister is the Minister. At this time, my cave is also suffering from a drought. My Shandong gentry has been using the power of the entire clan to help the disaster victims. "
"Then, what do you mean?"
Li Shimin did not even raise his eyelids as he asked indifferently. .
The old man with a head full of white hair and some balding said tremblingly, "Now, the drought in Longyou has stopped, and this old subject knows that there is still food left. This old subject is bold enough to request for relief for the disaster victims of Shandong!"
"Old thing! There is food! But that is the military supplies of my Longyou garrison. You dare to have any ideas about this!? Do you think that I, Old Cheng, am air? "
Cheng Yaojin exploded.
These old things usually can't do anything, but now, when it comes to food, they don't even bat an eyelid!
There is a drought in Shandong, but that drought can be suppressed as long as there is good irrigation. It is not as serious as you say it is.
If that were the case, the emperor would have sent people over long ago! Do you still need to nag?
Cheng Yaojin did not dare to say the rest. This was the imperial court, so he could only criticize in his heart.
As soon as Cheng Yaojin's words fell, the military generals' side exploded in an instant.
"You old bastard! As far as I know, all the land in Shandong is monopolized by the Shandong gentry! Now that there is a slight drought, you don't think of a solution, but the first thing you think of is benefits? "
"Damn it! How dare you fight for the food of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Lao Tzu's army? If it weren't for us defending the country with our lives, would you still be able to plot against each other so peacefully? You would have become a Turkic chamber pot long ago! "
In an instant.
The civil officials also exploded. .
"Vulgar! How can there be such a vulgar person in the imperial court of the Tang Dynasty? Your Majesty, this person should be beheaded! "
"Your Majesty, that old thief Yuchi has evil intentions. He is cursing Your Majesty and wants to destroy the country!"
"Your Majesty, if we don't kill Yuchi, we won't be able to convince the world!"
"Enough!"
At this moment.
Wei Zheng, who had been silent all this time, shouted coldly.
"I, Wei Zheng, would like to ask, where is this place?"
"This is the imperial court of the Tang Dynasty, not a place for you to make a scene! His Majesty hasn't said a word, and you want to convict him of murder? Are you trying to take matters into your own hands? "
