Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 748
The heat in Chang'an in early summer is already a bit uncomfortable.

After Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin returned to Chang'an City, they both wanted to go home and open a jar of cold beer to drink.

But thinking of the situation in Youzhou, they could only bear with it, and went to the household department first.

Tang Jian was a little surprised to see the two of them come back.

"Why are the two little generals back?"

"Master Tang, we have reached Youzhou City now, but we won't be able to take it for a while, and we may have to fight a protracted war. Master Hou asked us to come back to transport some food and grass, and please Master Tang to prepare it."

There is no need to alarm Li Shimin about matters such as grain and grass. As long as the Shangshu Province agrees and there is a record, the Ministry of Households can prepare grain and grass.

When Tang Jian heard that there was going to be a protracted war with the King of Yan, he knew that food and grass were very important, and he immediately agreed without any hesitation: "Okay, I will order people to prepare it. After three days, it will be ready for you."

Now is the time for the harvest of wheat and rice in some places, but because the new wheat has not been harvested, there are not many old wheat, and the price is relatively expensive.

Here in the imperial court, because some were given to the Turks, there are not many left.

Tang Jian dared to promise to prepare everything in three days, which was already a great deal of face to Qin Tian.

Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Tang Jian's words, and then finally went back to their homes to rest.

In the past few days, they rushed from Youzhou to Chang'an City at high speed. It can be said that they didn't have much rest along the way. Now that things are basically successful, they can naturally go home and have a good rest.

The two of them left, and Tang Jian ordered people to prepare food and grass while going to Shangshusheng.

After coming to Shangshu Province, Tang Jian shared the situation with the current Shangshu Ling Gao Shilian.

When Gao Shilian heard that Qin Tian wanted food and grass, an imperceptible sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Master Tang, as far as I know, the Ministry of Households is running low on food and grass, right? And it seems to be used for other purposes, but is that so?"

"Exactly, but the war in Youzhou is more tense. I decided to embezzle it first, and then send someone to buy some. As for other uses, we can wait until the new wheat comes out. This is not urgent."

At this time, Tang Jian didn't feel anything.

But after he finished speaking, Gao Shilian shook his head: "How can this be done? The city of Youzhou may be destroyed in the near future, so why is there such a rush to transport food and grass? Master Tang must trust Qin Tian's ability."

Hearing this, Tang Jian faintly felt that the situation was not good.

"Lord Gao, the war must not be delayed, so please sign here to let the household department prepare food and grass, which can be transported to Youzhou."

At this time, Tang Jian's words were already a bit impolite. Although Gao Shilian had a higher official position than him, it was a matter of war, and he could not let Gao Shilian slaughter him.

However, Gao Shilian is not afraid of Tang Jian, he is the Minister of the Book, and he has the final say on whether the grain and grass of the household department will be transported or not. In other words, if he does not sign, the household department will not dare to transport the grain and grass. .

Otherwise, it would be a great sin.

The two were very unhappy in Shangshu Province, and Tang Jian had no choice but to leave Gao Shilian angrily.

That was the end of the first day.

The next day, Tang Jian came to Shangshu Province again, but Gao Shilian still refused to sign.

"Lord Gao, you are looking for an opportunity to take revenge on Lord Qin Hou. I'm going to see the Holy Majesty. You'd better agree to it quickly, or I won't forgive you when I go to the Holy Majesty."

"Bold, is Master Tang threatening me?"

Tang Jian chuckled, and then left Shangshu Province and rushed directly to the palace. Since Gao Shilian refused to agree, he could only start with Li Shimin.

However, Gao Shilian was not afraid of Tang Jian's behavior, because it was strange that Tang Jian could see Li Shimin.

In the last two days, Li Shimin has been sick, and he doesn't go to court very much, and the imperial doctor also told him to rest more, so now, it's basically not a big deal, Li Shimin won't see anyone.

He felt that Li Shimin's illness was really God helping him.

Qin Tian has no food and grass, let's see how he fights.

Gao Shilian was very excited. Tang Jian had already come to the palace and wanted to see Li Shimin, but was stopped by the palace people.

"Master Tang, the illness of the Holy Majesty is not suitable for seeing the wind, and it is inconvenient to see people. If there is no serious matter, please go back."

"Please tell your Majesty, it's a big deal."

"This...Master Tang is a bit embarrassing for your servant."

The meaning of the palace man is already very clear, no see.

Seeing this situation, Tang Jian became more and more angry.

But it was useless to argue with the palace people here, so he left angrily.

Tang Jian couldn't find a way around. Su Dingfang had already got the news, and after he got the news, he was very excited and laughed. He felt that he was really wise in recommending Gao Shilian to take the position of Shang Shuling. Decide.

Using Gao Shilian to deal with Qin Tian couldn't be better.

Even if something happened, it would be Gao Shilian's trouble, he was borrowing a knife to kill someone.

If Qin Tian couldn't borrow food and grass, then it would be impossible for him to destroy Luo Yi in Youzhou.

The next day passed like this, and Tang Jian didn't think of a good way. If he sent away the grain and grass tomorrow, it would be okay, but he might not be able to afford the subsequent crimes.

After thinking about it, Tang Jian could only quickly send someone to call Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin to tell them about the situation and see if they had any other options.

Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin didn't care about anything these two days, they just ate, drank and had fun at home, and indulged a bit.

Hearing that Tang Jian was looking for them, they didn't think there was any trouble at first, thinking that Tang Jian had prepared the food and grass.

After arriving at the household department, Cheng Chumo asked directly: "Master Tang, is the grain and grass that Lord Hou wants ready?"

After asking, they realized that Tang Jian's complexion was a little ugly, and he looked sad like a young woman.

"Master Tang, why do you have such an expression?"

The two were very strange, Tang Jian smiled bitterly, and said: "You two little generals, the food and grass are almost prepared for you, but you can't take them away."

When they heard that they couldn't take it away, the two of them were taken aback: "Why?"

"Gao Shilian from Shangshu Province refused to sign, so I dare not let you take away the grain and grass."

"Gao Shilian?" Hearing that Gao Shilian was playing tricks, the two of them immediately became angry. They were a little worried when Gao Shilian was the secretary. Now that they came back to ask for food, what they were worried about finally happened. up.

"His grandma, this Gao Shilian is going to kill tens of thousands of soldiers in Youzhou. There is no food, what do they eat, how do they fight, if he dares to harm us, I will never let him go."

Cheng Chumo cursed at the household department, and then ran directly to Shangshu Province. Tang Jian frowned slightly, as if he didn't expect Cheng Chumo and the others to be so impulsive.

Without hesitation, he quickly chased after him.
