bastard seizes tang

Chapter 647

The military rations in Wuwei Warehouse are the military reserves. The country is so important that ordinary people cannot move them. Even if Su Dingfang, the governor of Liangzhou, wants to use the military rations in Wuwei Warehouse, he must get approval from the Minister of Finance, otherwise Wuwei Warehouse will never open. of.

But Li Ke is naturally not an ordinary person. He is the crown prince on behalf of Tian Xunhun, and he has the right to do things cheaply. It is within his rights and interests to use Wuwei warehouse grain and grass, so there is no difficulty.

Since Li Ke wanted to "call" the grain and grass of Wuwei warehouse, he simply did it to the end. He not only opened the door of Wuwei warehouse, but even directly sent the Donggong guard who came with him to take over Wuwei warehouse. It is already under Li Ke's jurisdiction.

However, as Li Ke said before, Li Ke's use of Wuwei Warehouse is just for show, because the grain and grass in Wuwei Warehouse are military supplies.

Although in recent years the Great Tang has conquered the country and everyone is in awe, but who can guarantee that there will not be one or two groups of aliens who are bold enough to take advantage of the high autumn season to invade the Northwest and plunder?After all, once autumn comes, it will be time for more battles.Therefore, Li Ke never really meant to privately transfer the Wuwei warehouse to rescue the emergency. Everything he did was to deceive others from Ma Zhou's words.

On the night of the day when Li Ke took over the Wuwei warehouse, a batch of summer grain in Liangzhou City that was supposed to be escorted to Chang'an was quietly sent to the Wuwei warehouse outside the city.

In the early morning of the next day, Dong Gongwei took over the Wuwei Warehouse on the second day.

The Wuwei warehouse, which had always been heavily guarded and seldom visited by people, suddenly became busy.

"Move, move quickly, don't block the way of the people behind."

The peasants outside the Wuwei Warehouse carried their shoulders and were busy back and forth. Xie Shufang, the governor of Liangzhou, stood outside the gate of the Wuwei Warehouse and directed them back and forth, ordering these peasants to transport the grain to the governor's office in Liangzhou.

"Prince, these folk husbands are recruited from the surrounding villages. After today, the news will spread throughout Liangzhou. Is it okay to make such a commotion?" Liu Rengui stood on the warehouse building of Wuwei warehouse, Pointing to the busy people outside the warehouse, he asked Li Ke beside him.

Li Ke nodded and said: "Such a movement is enough. The grain and grass carried by the yamen are all summer grain brought in last night."

Liu Ren said: "Don't worry, the governor, these are the summer rations sent in last night, and the original military rations in the warehouse have not been moved at all."

Li Ke then asked: "How much are you going to move today?"

Liu Rengui replied: "Move [-] shi first to stabilize people's hearts, then move another [-] shi in a few days, and then move another [-] shi in a few days. In less than two days, the Guanlongmen Clan will release food."

Li Ke said: "We don't have a lot of surplus grain in our hands, less than 13 shi in total. If the Guanlongmen Clan doesn't release grain after a few days, it will be troublesome."

The remaining 13 shi of grain and grass in the library of Liangzhou Prefecture, plus the annual grain that Li Ke withheld to go to Beijing, add up to only [-] shi.If the Wuwei warehouse produced [-] shi of grain a day, it would definitely not be able to last for a few days.

Liu Rengui heard the words and said with a smile: "The people in Liangzhou only consume more than [-] shi a day, and the [-] shi they move out every day are just a cover. How the food was moved out, and how it was brought back, at most it was done again for them to see."

"Haha, that's fine"

Liu Rengui's words caught his ears, and Li Ke couldn't help laughing. No wonder Liu Rengui looked confident, and he had already planned it.

The Guanlongmen clan suppressed the grain below and refused to sell it. Not only Li Ke was uncomfortable, but also the people under the Guanlongmen clan.The children of the aristocratic family are not worrying about money, on the contrary, their family has a big business, and their annual consumption is much more than that of ordinary families.

A large part of the annual income of the aristocratic families comes from farm grain, especially in the two months before and after autumn when the demand is greatest. But now, in order to fight against Li Ke, they have stopped the largest income of the family. What they are facing The pressure is naturally conceivable.

Those who are raised by the family are better, but the other concubines and offspring will suffer. If this continues, they will be tight, and they will not even be able to survive this year.

Liu Rengui said to Li Ke: "However, before that, Your Highness can go to Jiuquan to worship the ancestors first, and return to Liangzhou after a few days. The more casual the prince seems to be about this matter, the more realistic the drama at Wuweicang will be."

Li Ke nodded slowly while listening to Liu Rengui's words. As Liu Rengui said, the more nervous and cramped Li Ke was at this time, the more people from the Guanlong clan would suspect that Li Ke was fake. With a look of indifference, as if the matter in Liangzhou was no longer a serious problem, those Guanlong clans naturally became more and more convinced that Li Ke must have opened Wuwei warehouse to have such confidence.

"Okay, I will follow what you said. I will leave for Jiuquan tomorrow and entrust the matter of Liangzhou to you. I estimate that I will come back within six days at most. I hope to get good news from you when I come back." Li Ke's track to Liu Ren.

"Prince, don't worry, I will fulfill my mission." Liu Rengui responded immediately.

Liu Rengui and Li Ke were talking, and suddenly they seemed to remember something, and said to Li Ke: "However, the prince needs to report this matter to His Majesty earlier, and greet him well. This is a big deal. If the prince opens Wuwei Warehouse privately If the news spreads to Beijing, I am afraid that there will be many people impeaching the prince in the middle of the court, and the prince may be embarrassed."

Although Li Ke opened the Wuwei Warehouse in private, it was just for show, but the Guanlongmen Clan didn't know about it, and naturally neither did the officials in the court.In Liangzhou, an important place in the frontier state, it is a big taboo and a big mistake to open the Wuwei Warehouse to store military rations privately. People will take the opportunity to make trouble.

Liu Rengui was thoughtful, and there was nothing wrong with it, but his words also made Li Ke see an opportunity.

Although Li Ke is already the crown prince, there are still many people in the court who are at odds with him or eyeing his position as crown prince. Among them, his fourth brother Wei Wang Li Tai is the most powerful.

All the adult princes of the Tang Dynasty have been released from Beijing, and the threat to Li Ke's crown prince is already very small, but nothing is better than nothing. Only one Li Tai, who is also a legitimate son, was able to stay in Beijing thanks to Li Shimin's favor. It is really a serious worry for Li Ke to be the crown prince.

Li Ke shook his head and said: "No, there is no rush to report this matter to the emperor, this palace not only wants to do this, but also to do more, to give those people in the court a chance, and let the world see their faces clearly. "

Liu Rengui asked, "What does the prince want to do?"

Li Ke thought for a while, and said: "Since they are all staring at Bengong, then Bengong should go too far, give them a chance to impeach Bengong, tell them to intensify, and make the incident as big as possible."
