The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 147 Who Is Counting Me

"The amount of money and food that the prince wants this time is huge. It seems that the virtuous king's guards should go there. To avoid any situation on the way." Zou Fengchi said to Changsun Chong.

"Now that Cheng Chumo is also confined at home, it seems that we can only let Xue Rengui and Zhao Tingxuan go. But with them two in charge, it should be more reliable than Cheng Chumo." Changsun Chong nodded and said.

……

"My lord, according to your account, my subordinates have checked the situation of the Yellow River embankment in various state capitals. It can be said that it is very pessimistic." Xue Rengui said to Li Chengqian.

Since Xue Rengui escorted a large amount of money, food and materials to Qizhou City, he stayed with Li Chengqian to listen to them.

And the entire bodyguard of the virtuous king did not leave.Because Li Chengqian needs a lot of manpower next.Otherwise, it will be difficult to deal with tens of thousands of disaster victims.

Li Chengqian had already thought of Xue Rengui's result.So he sighed and said: "It seems that it is impossible to avoid this flood."

"The sky is blue these days, without even a cloud. You're not here to worry about floods. I really don't know what you think." Cheng Chuhuan pouted and said.

"Since you don't think the water will rise, how about we make a bet?" Li Chengqian said to Cheng Chuhuan with a smile.

"Just bet, don't you think this girl will be afraid of your failure?" Cheng Chuhuan said to Li Chengqian without fear.

"Well, if the water level of the Yellow River does not rise within a month, then I will lose." Li Chengqian said to Cheng Chuhuan.

"Play this game with this girl again. Remember, what this girl is talking about is flooding, not the rising water level of the Yellow River."

"And if you lose, you have to promise me a condition." Cheng Chuhuan said with a shy expression on his face.

You don't need to ask everyone to know what Cheng Chuhuan's conditions are.It is estimated that Li Chengqian is definitely going to marry her.

Li Chengqian also looked helpless, and then said: "Okay, it's decided as you said. If you lose at that time, remember to promise me a condition."

Cheng Chuhuan agreed to Li Chengqian without hesitation, she never thought about what Li Chengqian would ask her to do.But don't regret it when she knows it.

……

Time flies by, and it is September in a blink of an eye.During this period of time, there were continuous torrential rains in Henan Province, and the water of the Yellow River became choppy.

Due to insufficient repairs of the Yellow River embankment, many embankment failures occurred.The flood water poured directly from the Yellow River.Let Henan Road become a vast ocean.

Li Shimin naturally also received the urgent report.This made Li Shimin furious.In the Tai Chi Hall, he scolded the Ministry of Industry for its inaction.

And let Wei Zheng be in charge of thoroughly investigating the matter of the Ministry of Industry's pocketing.And it is decreed that once it is verified to be true, it will be severely punished.

Then he opened his mouth and asked everyone: "There is a flood in Henan Province, who would like to go to relieve the victims for me?"

Changsun Wuji came out of the shift and said, "Your Majesty, my minister, Changsun Wuji, is willing to go to Henan Province to provide disaster relief."

Li Shimin nodded from now on, and then said: "Let Changsun Wuji take full responsibility for the disaster relief, and the household department will hurry up to prepare the relief money and food."

After receiving the imperial edict, Changsun Wuji said again: "Your Majesty, the disaster in Henan Province is serious this time. I am afraid there will be riots by the victims. Can Cheng Yaojin take the right military guard and go to the disaster relief with the minister?"

Li Shimin nodded, and then said: "Officer Cheng Yaojin resumed his post and led You Wuwei, and cooperated with Changsun Wuji to go to Henan Province for disaster relief."

Wang Wu was absolutely unwilling to let Official Cheng Yaojin return to his post.If it was changed to before, I'm afraid he would have come forward to oppose it.

But today's Wang Wu has lost the support of the Taiyuan Wang family.And he just took refuge in Yue Wang Li Tai, but he didn't get his real trust.

Therefore, Wang Wu was very low-key during this time, and he would never talk to others without conclusive evidence.Of course, unless it was Li Tai's account.

So Cheng Yaojin was reinstated as an official, and rushed to Qizhou with Changsun Wuji.

……

"Second brother, if I remember correctly, Gao Ming should also be in Qizhou City, right?" Empress Changsun asked Li Shimin.

"Not only is he in Qizhou City, but he has already started disaster relief in Henan Province. In order to resettle the victims, he has spent all his money this time." Li Shimin said to Empress Changsun with a smile.

"When did Gao Ming become so generous? I remember that he is an iron cock who regards money as his life. He usually cares about every detail with you, the emperor." Empress Changsun said in disbelief.

"Everything on his surface is just for me to see, so that he can not be a prince. In fact, he has the world in his heart." Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Since you know, you still keep calling Gao Ming a rebellious son. I have never seen a good son who can do such a big thing." Empress Changsun said after curling her lips.

"Don't you know your precious son? If I give him three points of raw materials, he will definitely open a dyeing room for me."

"If I didn't beat him normally, he might have made a lot of trouble." Li Shimin said helplessly.

At this moment, Wang De walked into the Ganlu Hall and said to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, the Duke of England is here."

Hearing that Xu Maogong was coming, Empress Changsun resigned and left Ganlu Hall.At the same time, Xu Maogong was also proclaimed into the Manna Hall by Li Shimin.

Before Xu Maogong could salute, Li Shimin asked: "The military commander came to see me in such a hurry, I don't know what happened."

"Your Majesty, this is the memorial sent back by His Royal Highness, please read it in person." Xu Maogong took out Li Chengqian's memorial from his bosom and handed it to Wang De.

Wang De handed the memorial to Li Shimin, Li Shimin opened it and couldn't help frowning.Then he put down the memorial and said to Xu Maogong, "How do you think this matter should be answered?"

"Your Majesty, whenever there is a natural disaster, it is the people of the world who suffer, and it is the Emperor who makes things difficult. But some people can take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune."

"It is definitely not a nonsense that fish can be raised in porridge for disaster relief. Therefore, I feel that what His Royal Highness the King Xian said should be approved."

"If it's true what he said, the chopsticks will float and people's heads will fall to the ground. Then I really don't know how many officials in Henan Province will die in his hands." Li Shimin said after sighing.

"Your majesty, don't you always say that the king is the boat and the people are the water, so you can carry a boat and capsize it?"

"If His Royal Highness King Xian can really do it, the chopsticks will float up and land on the head. At that time, it will have an extraordinary status in the hearts of the people in Henan." Xu Maogong said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"The military advisor is right. I can take this opportunity to re-establish him as the crown prince." Li Shimin said with a smile on his face after hearing this.

……

"Ah Choo, Ah Choo... Damn, who is plotting against me behind my back." Li Chengqian, who sneezed a few times, said to himself.
