Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1855 Copy a few houses

In this world, the spread of news is the fastest.

Even if Li Chengqian deliberately blocked the news of the Hubu fire, as long as someone with a heart wants to spread it, he can still spread it.

Li Ke soon heard about the riots caused by the hungry people in the mansion, and after hearing this, he knew that his people had spread the news.

Although the riots of the hungry people were quickly suppressed, he believed that it would not be easy for Li Chengqian to solve this problem.

To put it bluntly, the whole thing is about the food. Now that the food is burned, Li Chengqian wants to get the food, but is the food easy to get?
As long as Li Chengqian can't get food and the hungry people outside the city have no food to eat, they will continue to make trouble soon. At that time, these hungry people will not be able to talk.

Although these starving people can't cause any major troubles, and it's easy for the court to suppress them, but if Li Chengqian really suppresses them, the matter of disaster relief will be out of the question.

In this way, not only did Li Chengqian fail to complete the disaster relief this time, and he was recognized by the people, but he would be criticized instead.

Thinking of this, Li Ke couldn't help laughing.

He just needs to wait for the news.

The hungry people were persuaded to leave, so Li Chengqian hurried back to the East Palace.

After returning to the East Palace, Li Chengqian called several of his cronies over and gave them some instructions. After listening to them, these people did not hesitate, went down immediately, and followed what Li Chengqian said.

As for Li Chengqian, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He has only two days, but if his method is successful, two days will be enough.

On the side of Chang'an City, the people are still talking about the fire in the household department, and many people who have food are still waiting for a price.

In the early morning of the next day, after the officials discussed one or two things, some officials stood up.

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Wang Dong for corruption, and he is suspected of treason."

After the official stood up and said this, Li Ke's expression was slightly condensed. This Wang Dong is Li Ke's man, and he has done many hidden things for Li Ke. How could someone suddenly impeach him? ?
Li Ke felt that the situation was not good.

On Li Shimin's side, after hearing this, he became a little angry and asked, "Wang Dong's corruption and rebellion, do you have evidence?"

"Your Majesty, here is the evidence, please take a look at it."

The official submitted the evidence. These were all the things Li Chengqian sent to him. The evidence is not particularly hard evidence, but there is a lot of corruption, and the evidence of murder is absolutely true. Just some suspicions.

After Li Shimin saw these evidences, his complexion became more and more ugly, and then he glared at Wang Dong, and said, "Wang Dong, now these evidences point to your corruption and treason, what do you have to justify?"

"Your Majesty, you are wronged, you are wronged, I have no corruption, let alone rebellion, please Your Majesty to check clearly."

When he said this, Wang Dong subconsciously looked at Li Ke, but Li Ke didn't dare to make eye contact with him, Li Ke just stood there calmly, as if this matter had nothing to do with him at all.

But at this time, the official who impeached Wang Dong said again: "Your Majesty, if there is any corruption, if there is any rebellion, send someone to search his mansion and it will be clear."

After saying this, Li Shimin nodded: "Exactly, come and search Wang Dong's mansion."

Soon, a guard led the order to retreat.

Here, another person stood up.

"My lord, I want to impeach Chen Yu, and he is also suspected of corruption and treason."

Li Shimin felt strange when he heard that someone was impeached again. Why is the impeachment so severe today?
However, if someone is impeached, it still needs to be investigated.

"Bring up the evidence."

The official quickly took the evidence, which was also sent to him by Prince Li Chengqian, and that Chen Yu was also a member of Shu King Li Ke.

Of course, it wasn't that Li Chengqian deliberately targeted Li Ke, but that Li Chengqian wanted to impeach slowly, not everyone at once. Today, he only moved Li Ke's two people, and tomorrow he might move Li Tai's people.

In this way, if two people are moved in one day and their homes are copied, then he, Li Chengqian, will have all the food to help the victims.

After the evidence was brought up, Li Shimin snorted again after seeing it. He didn't ask Chen Yu, and sent someone to search Chen Yu's home.

The hall became very quiet, Chen Yu and Wang Dong were a little nervous, although it was summer, they felt a little trembling.

On the forehead, there was cold sweat.

Not long after, the guard hurried back.

"Your Majesty, we have already searched. We found a large amount of money in Wang Dong's and Chen Yu's residences. These are very consistent with the evidence. In addition, we also found some privately made weapons. There are more than a thousand pieces."

There is money for corruption, and weapons for forging. What are these other than corruption and treason?
After the guard's words fell, Li Shimin snorted immediately: "You two are so brave, you dare to embezzle, and you want to rebel. Now that the evidence is solid, what else do you two have to say?"

The faces of the two people were miserable, but they were very wronged.

It is said that they are corrupt, they admit it, and they have indeed used their power to be corrupt, but it is said that they want to rebel, but that is nothing at all. Those weapons were only given to them by Li Ke. As for what Li Ke is going to do , how do they know?

At that time, Li Ke only said to let them store it first.

But now that they are being reported, they dare not expose Li Ke, so the two of them can only keep complaining.

However, now that the evidence is conclusive, so what if they cry for injustice?

"Father, these two people are corrupt and accepting bribes. I feel that they should confiscate their homes and exchange all their belongings for food to help the hungry people outside the city. After all, they are corrupted by the people."

After the matter was confirmed, Prince Li Chengqian stood up and said such a sentence, and there seemed to be no problem with him saying such a sentence, but after he said this, everyone immediately understood.

No wonder someone impeached two people in succession today. It turned out that Prince Li Chengqian was directing this matter behind the scenes. Wang Dong and Chen Yu had embezzled so much money. If the money was exchanged for food, it would be enough to feed the hungry people outside the city for half a month. that's it.

In half a month, many things could happen. At that time, it was much easier to relieve the victims.

This method is a bit treacherous, but it has to be said that it is a good way.

At this time, everyone has changed their views on the prince Li Chengqian. Their prince actually used this method. It seems that their future prince is not easy.
