Marry Changle in Datang

Chapter 125 Li Shimin This Time, I Absolutely Can't Take It Anymore!

The palace, the imperial study.

After the court meeting, the aristocratic families gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Similarly, Li Shimin also summoned his confidant ministers to discuss the situation.

The eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Qin Shubao, Wei Zheng, Yu Chigong and other confidantes of the former Li Shimin Qin Palace, as well as the pro-imperial faction in recent years, all gathered here.

It can be seen how much Li Shimin attaches importance to this!
This is like a small court meeting.

The difference is that all the people here are absolutely loyal to Li Shimin.

"Hateful! Hateful! Hateful!"

"The officials of these aristocratic families are so persecuting me that they don't take me seriously. I can't wait to dismiss them all and send them to prison for punishment!"

All the people gathered here are Li Shimin's confidants, so his words are very unscrupulous.

In the voice, there is a deep anger towards the aristocratic family!
Among them, the one that made him most angry was the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes! !It was like stomping on his face like crazy! !

Not to mention Li Shimin, even any emperor must be unbearable to be treated like this.

But no matter how angry he was, he had to endure it.

Officials from aristocratic families accounted for more than half of the court. If all of them were dismissed, the entire court would be paralyzed, and even the entire Tang Dynasty would be paralyzed.

This is also the biggest reason why the aristocratic family, five surnames and seven kings dared to challenge Li Shimin and the imperial power!
Li Shimin, who vented his anger, vented his anger in his heart, became a little calmer, looked at his confidant ministers and asked: "Guys, can you tell me any way to solve the problem of the victims?"

Everyone met Li Shimin's expectant eyes, and immediately lowered their heads in embarrassment.

Because they don't have any solution.

Today's food shortage, the solution is very simple, that is to get food, everything else is empty.

But in recent days, millions of food and salaries have been robbed, locust plagues have appeared in the south, and the north is still powerless because of the Wuwei smallpox incident half a month ago.

It can be said that there is really no place to borrow strength.

For the current plan, only by borrowing food from Wuxing Qiwang can we overcome this difficulty!

"Xuanling, the city of Chang'an is the most important. How long will it take to bring the only remaining grain there from the south?" Li Shimin asked Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling was slightly taken aback.

Li Shimin, this is the time to choose to fish out the water.

He thought for a while and replied: "Going back to Your Majesty, even if there is surplus food in the south, it will be very difficult."

"Let's not talk about the locust plague. Due to the recent heavy rains, countless official roads have been washed away, and the roads are rough and difficult. Originally, it would take a month's journey, but now it may not be possible to reach the capital in two months."

"As for the food stored in our Chang'an city, it will be exhausted in half a month. Far water can't cure near thirst."

"Ah~"

Fang Xuanling sighed, his expression was full of depression.

As early as when the Minister of the Ministry of Households stated that the food was in an emergency, Fang Xuanling had already started to calculate the obstacles and time that he would encounter along the way from the southern granary to Chang'an City.

It's just that the distant water really can't quench the near thirst.

By the time the food arrived, a large number of the victims would have starved to death!
"What about buying from the market?" Li Shimin still did not give up and asked.

"Useless Your Majesty, those aristocratic families, with five surnames and seven Wangs, have already started to buy the grain stored in the market, and even bought the grain in the hands of those grain merchants at a premium of several times."

"The current market price of grain has skyrocketed by more than ten times than before, and it is still rising!"

"Presumably after today's court incident, those big families will be even more frantic and buy food at all costs."

Changsun Wuji smiled wryly, directly breaking Li Shimin's hope.

Obviously, he is very aware of the peeing nature of people from the aristocratic family.

"Ugh……"

"Is there really no other way?"

Li Shimin lay on his back on the dragon chair, sighing, his expression full of sorrow and helplessness.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, put a knife on the necks of those birdmen to force them to take food! I don't believe they dare not give it!?" Yu Chigong said sharply, like a bandit.

"No, it's not a chaotic world now, your way of being the devil king in a chaotic world is not good enough."

Li Shimin smiled helplessly, Yu Chigong, this guy, has already experienced ups and downs with his veteran, and he is still so gangster.

Although Li Shimin wanted to do this very much, the reality did not allow him to do so.

The current position does not allow him to do whatever he wants.

Otherwise, the whole world would be in chaos! !
"no way!"

"Shubao, Jingde, the two of you will move the army around the victims to prevent civil uprisings."

"If things really come to a last resort, they can only be suppressed by the army!!"

Li Shimin held his forehead and gave an order that he really didn't want to give.

Suppressing with the army is the last resort unless it is absolutely necessary.

Once this is done, the reputation that Li Shimin has accumulated with great difficulty in the past two years since he ascended the throne will be ruined again!

"Your Majesty, this."

Everyone was shocked when they heard Li Shimin's order!
Especially Qin Shubao, Yu Chigong and others who didn't know the identity of Qin Wenyuan's son-in-law.

All of them never imagined that Li Shimin would do this for Qin Wenyuan.

In their view, Li Shimin should choose to arrest Qin Wenyuan under such a situation, and take food from Wu Xing Qi Wang.

You know, since Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Incident and took the throne, he has been working hard to establish the image of a wise monarch, and has done it with practical actions.

Accept advice widely and implement benevolent government.

Even Wei Zheng, Wang Gui, Feng Li, Wei Ting, Xue Wanche, former officials of the hidden prince Li Shimin entrusted them with important tasks.

After two or three years, the change of Xuanwu Gate gradually faded in people's hearts, and the image of a Mingjun who worked hard to govern and worked hard to become stronger was slowly erected.

but.……

If Li Shimin used the army to suppress the disaster victims in this way, the image of painstaking efforts would collapse in an instant!
And when they are in their position, right and wrong are no longer so important, image is the most important! !

For the image, they can distort the black into white, and the white can also be distorted into black.

But now, for the sake of Qin Wenyuan, Li Shimin is willing to let the image of Mingjun, who has worked so hard, collapse.

Is it... really worth it? !

"My will has been decided!"

"Execute the order!"

"All the consequences will be borne by me!"

Li Shimin said firmly.

"As ordered!"

Qin Shubao, Cheng Yaojin, and Yu Chigong stopped talking when they heard the words, and immediately took orders.

"Your Majesty, we still have a glimmer of hope." At this moment, Wei Zheng suddenly said to Li Shimin.

He thought of a person who might be able to solve this killing situation.

That is Qin Wenyuan! !
Looking at Qin Wenyuan from his first appearance to the world-famous Qin Wenyuan, Wei Zheng felt a sense of confidence in his heart.

Qin Wenyuan, that person, is a strange man who always surprises people!
"Oh?"

"Wei Qing, tell me quickly, what hope do you have?"

Li Shimin quickly looked at Wei Zheng, his eyes full of hope.

If there is a glimmer of hope, Li Shimin will not choose to use the army to suppress this most inferior measure.

"This hope is... our number one scholar, Qin Wenyuan!"

When Wei Zheng talked about Qin Wenyuan, he was a little proud, and then continued: "This man's talent is as powerful as it is ancient and modern. Naturally, this humble minister is not as good as him! Maybe he can do things that we have no choice but to do."

Qin Wenyuan...

Daughter Lizhi's precious husband?

Li Shimin thought silently in his heart, thinking of his medical skills in cracking smallpox, thinking of the good prescription he proposed for governing the country, thinking of Quyuanli he transformed...

These are things that many people cannot do in their entire lives.

Just think about it.

In Li Shimin's lonely eyes, a glimmer of hope gradually appeared.

Maybe...Qin Wenyuan, he really can!

"go!"

"Go find Qin Wenyuan!"

Li Shimin waved his hand directly, and went out without even having time to change his clothes. He couldn't wait to hear whether Qin Wenyuan had a solution to this problem.

And when he was halfway there, Wei Zheng hurriedly stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, please stay!!"

Li Shimin frowned slightly, turned his head and glanced at Wei Zheng, "Wei Qing, what else do you need to say?"

Wei Zheng sighed, and said lightly, "Your Majesty, Young Master Qin left Chang'an City a few days ago."

After the words fell, all the officials including Li Shimin were surprised.

At this juncture of the relationship, Qin Wenyuan left Chang'an City?

Li Shimin's heart was a little bit cold.

Then, Wei Zheng continued: "However, three days ago, Mr. Qin sent someone to look for me."

"Looking for you? What's the matter?" Li Shimin frowned.

Wei Zheng took out a letter from his sleeve and read it aloud.

[Today, Qin and his wife, Changle, are in danger, and I hope Mr. Wei will ask Mr. Cheng to come to Kailin County for rescue! 】

…………

Kailin County.

Today is still a peaceful day.

Qin Wenyuan, his wife and others still lived in the inn for a long time.

Chang Le came to Qin Wenyuan's side and smiled, "Husband, the food is already prepared for you, we can..."

Boom!Boom!Boom!
At this moment, before Chang Le finished speaking, a drum sounded suddenly.

The inn was very close to the yamen, so they could hear someone beating the grievance drum in the yamen.

Chang Le was stunned for a moment, and then said: "This is... the Mingyuan Drum? It's so late, how can someone beat the Mingyuan Drum at the Yamen?"

Cry out?
Qin Wenyuan froze for a moment, this sound of grievances was the first time he heard it when he came to this world.

In the midst of Tianquan's killing situation, he really felt a little strange when he suddenly heard the heavy sound of the Mingyuan Drum.

He looked at Chang Le and said with a smile: "Someone knocked on the Drum of Wronging Wrongs. Naturally, there is something wrong to be heard. Madam, we might as well go and have a look."

Chang Le nodded slightly, "It's fine, you just happen to be here, husband, I know your skills, then Kailin county magistrate Wei and husband are simply incomparable."

"If my husband is here, I believe that any grievances that come from the visitor can be resolved immediately."

"It's just a pity that the food I just made will be cold later."

"But other people's grievances are more important, husband, let's go."

Chang Le came forward to hold Qin Wenyuan.

Qin Wenyuan chuckled, he felt that his wife praised him too much.

"Well, let's go."

After all, the couple, Xugou and the others quickly went to the Yamen lobby.

In the yamen, another very strange thing happened.

The person sitting on it was not Wei Liang, the magistrate of Kailin County, but a person Qin Wenyuan had never seen before.

This person looks dignified and personable, coupled with that somewhat handsome face, he is a young man with a beautiful white face.

Qin Wenyuan looked at him with a slight flicker in his eyes.

He didn't say much, just quietly listening to the trial.

After the county magistrate sat down, he slapped the gavel and said, "Whoever knocks the drum for grievances, bring it to the hall."

Soon, a woman walked up the lobby.

As soon as she came in, she glanced around, then glanced at the lobby, saw the white-faced young man sitting on the lobby, and knelt down to the county magistrate.

She cried: "The woman has seen the county magistrate, and I beg the county magistrate to be the master of the woman's husband."

The white-faced Xiaosheng looked at the woman and said, "You sounded the drum to complain of grievances, are you looking for my official?"

The woman nodded quickly, and she said: "The woman knows that the county magistrate is the master of the people, and he is our master Qingtian, so I ask the county magistrate to be the master."

The white-faced Xiaosheng looked at the yamen servant at the side, and the yamen servant hurriedly said, "Master County Magistrate, you just came to Kailin County, and you don't know about the recent cases."

"This person is Wang Liu's wife. Wang Liu was already convicted by the former county magistrate Wei Liang because of the murder case."

"But his wife has been unconvinced. She came to find us many times to complain, but was beaten back."

"After all, the evidence is solid. We have not wronged Wang Liu. If the county magistrate doesn't believe it, you can take a look at the case file."

The white-faced Xiaosheng thought for a while, and said, "Bring Wang Liu's dossier here."

Immediately a yamen servant ran over to fetch the dossier, the white-faced Xiaosheng opened the dossier and read it carefully.

Then he looked at the woman and said, "There are no omissions in the evidence in the file. There are all witnesses and physical evidence. The evidence can also form a closed loop. The motives are all complete, so why don't you agree with the person your husband really killed?" ?”

The woman said: "The woman does not deny that my husband killed someone, but there is a reason for my husband to kill someone!"

"My husband has two sworn brothers. Although the three of them are not blood brothers, they are better than blood brothers."

"But suddenly one day, because Zhang Liao had a conflict with the three of my husbands, he wanted to kill the three of my husbands."

"In the end, Xianggong's two sworn brothers died in order to protect him. My husband is a person who values ​​love and righteousness. How could he not avenge his brother, so he finally killed Zhang Liao!"

The woman looked at Qin Zulai and said, "Master County Magistrate, you said... that Zhang Liao, shouldn't he die?"

"If he didn't kill my husband's brother, how could my husband kill him?"

"So, shouldn't it be justified for my husband to kill Zhang Liao?"

The white-faced boy tapped his finger on the table lightly, without saying a word.
