Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1847 All Means
The news that Prince Li Chengqian went to the Imperial Study Room after he retired from the court quickly spread among interested people like Li Tai.

After Li Tai learned the news, he quickly sent someone to investigate what Li Chengqian was doing in the imperial study.

He found it very strange, because under normal circumstances, unless their father summoned him, Li Chengqian seldom returned to the imperial study.

Today he actually returned to the Imperial Study Room, so there must be something wrong with it.

Li Tai's news network is still very good, and it is not bad at all in the palace. Soon, he learned the news he wanted to know.

"My lord, His Royal Highness wants to accept the disaster relief."

Hearing this, Li Tai's eyes narrowed slightly, and he subconsciously felt that Prince Li Chengqian was out of his mind. Why would he do such a hard job?
But soon, he realized that if Li Chengqian did this, then Li Chengqian's reputation in Datang might be better, right?
Isn't this what a prince should have?

Among the few princes, Li Tai has always been talented, so he has been recognized by many scholars. Li Ke's martial arts is outstanding, and he has been recognized by military commanders. Li Chengqian has only some reputation from the common people, right?
In this way, he must want these reputations.

Li Tai touched his fat chin, and said, "This king also wants this reputation, but..."

As he said that, Li Tai smiled wryly and shook his head again. He wanted this reputation, but he only wanted him to go to Henan Province for disaster relief, but he didn't really want to go. It was too hard, and the journey was too far. For fat people, that is simply suffering.

Therefore, between the two choices, he is more inclined not to go.

However, when Li Tai said this, Shen Tong smiled lightly: "My lord thinks it's a bit hard to go to Henan Province for disaster relief?"

In this world, if there is anyone who knows Li Tai best, it must be Shen Tong.

Li Tai smiled wryly: "That's right, my king's body makes me so tired that I go to court every morning. It's hard, too hard for me to travel thousands of miles to Henan Road."

Shen Tong naturally knew this too. She probably knew Li Tai's body better than anyone else, right?

"My lord wants to provide disaster relief, so why go to Henan Road?"

"Oh, what does Aifei mean?"

Shen Tong said: "The disaster victims from Henan Road are rushing towards Chang'an City. Soon, there will be many disaster victims outside Chang'an City. These victims also need to go to rescue and relief. If the prince can take this task, it will be a great deal for the prince. reputation will be greatly improved.”

Hearing Shen Tong's words, Li Tai immediately felt that it made sense. If he could provide disaster relief without going out of Chang'an City, why would he go to Henan Road?

"That's right, that's right. My concubine is right. Tomorrow morning, I will ask my father to entrust me with this disaster relief work."

Li Tai has made a decision, and at this time, Li Ke has also made a decision.

Faced with the fame that everyone wants, Li Ke also decided to go to the court tomorrow morning to compete for the task of Minister of Disaster Relief. Of course, he was not going with Li Tai, who was too lazy to leave, and said he really wanted to visit Henan Road.

If he can solve the disaster in Henan Province, then besides having some prestige in the army, he will also have a lot of reputation among the common people. In that case, he will have more hope of competing for the crown prince .

In the early morning of the next day, the sun in Chang'an City had become a bit vicious.

Standing in the main hall, all the officials felt a little hot.

Li Shimin was also hot, and sweat flowed down his cheeks from time to time.

After Li Shimin discussed some other matters with the officials, someone brought the topic to the famine in Henan Province.

"Your Majesty, there is a famine in Henan Province. This matter is imminent. We must send imperial envoys to relieve the disaster as soon as possible. Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible."

After an official raised the matter, Prince Li Chengqian was the first to stand up.

"Father, my son is willing to serve as an imperial envoy and go to Henan Province for disaster relief."

After Li Chengqian said this, Li Ke quickly stood up and said, "Father, my son is also willing to go to Henan Province to help the disaster."

After the two stood up like this, they already had the intention of confronting each other. After all, there was only one imperial envoy, and the two princes wanted to go, so who should go?

And when everyone was thinking about how to stand in line, Li Tai suddenly stood up and said: "Father, the hungry people from Henan Road are rushing to Chang'an City. Here in Chang'an City, we must be prepared to deal with the victims, my son." I am willing to take charge of this matter and settle down those hungry people from Henan Province.”

After saying this, everyone was stunned for a moment. Everyone thought that Li Tai would also go to Henan Province to help the disaster. Who would have thought that he just wanted to help refugees in Chang'an City. However, when everyone saw Li Tai's fat body, they went back and forth. When they were about to take a breath every time they moved, everyone immediately felt a little relieved.

With Li Tai like this, asking him to go to Henan Road would make him feel worse than killing him.

After the three princes all opened their mouths to express their thoughts, the court officials immediately began to speak.

"My lord, I feel that this matter can be handed over to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness is the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty. He should know the sufferings of the people. Moreover, His Highness the Crown Prince is very capable. There is no difficulty in solving this matter."

"That's right, that's right. I also think it's appropriate for the crown prince to worry about being responsible for this matter. His Highness the crown prince is kind and loves the people. He will definitely help those people."

"........."

In the court, there are many people who support the prince Li Chengqian. After that transformation, the current prince Li Chengqian is no longer what he used to be. In the court of the capital, his power is definitely not weaker than others.

However, some people in the court supported Prince Li Chengqian, while others supported Li Ke.

"Your Majesty, I think it is more appropriate for Shu Wang Li Ke to handle this matter. As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, His Royal Highness should work for the Tang Dynasty and solve problems for the Holy Majesty. As the heir, how can His Royal Highness leave Chang'an City at will? Let me tell you. , His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should help those refugees in the capital, and leave the matter of Henan Road to His Royal Highness the King of Shu."

"Extremely, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Shu can completely divide the work. I think it is very appropriate for the Royal Highness Shu to go to Henan Road and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to provide disaster relief in Chang'an City."

It was so easy for Li Tai to take advantage, and Li Ke's people would soon let Prince Li Chengqian compete with Li Tai for the right to disaster relief in Chang'an City.

After Li Ke's people did this, Li Tai's eyes froze. At first, he thought that no one would argue with him, but the Henan Dao matter was left to Prince Li Chengqian and Shu King Li Ke.

But who would have thought that Li Ke's people would be so treacherous that they would want to involve the prince and compete with him.
