It is not easy to be a monk in the Tang Dynasty

Since the spring of this year, there has been rare rainless weather in the Jiangnan area, and severe drought has occurred in most areas. It is a season of lean and yellow crops. Farming cannot be carried out, and food has run out. The people are struggling on the line of life and death.

At this time, it was time for the imperial court to open warehouses and release grain to appease the people, but what made Li Shimin angry was that Ma Rong, the governor of Hangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, concealed the disaster, did not report the truth, and deceived others. When the disaster came, he did not organize effectively Instead, the rescue kept the victims out of the city, and even used violent means to prevent the victims from fleeing to survive.

Li Shimin is very clear that such an approach will surely arouse the anger of the people.Once you lose the hearts of the people, you will lose the world!

Li Shimin is a general on horseback and a king on horseback. He knows how to win people's hearts, and he also knows how to make people's hearts disperse.Now Ma Rong's behavior has completely angered him.

"The horse thief mistook me!"

Although the Tang Dynasty is now very stable, although there are occasional small disturbances in various places, they are small disturbances, which can be solved by sending an army over.

However, this time is different, these are the oppressed people, the so-called officials forced the people to rebel, once these people make trouble, even if I can quickly wipe them out at that time, but I am the king in the hearts of the people. Leave a black mark.

Li Shimin is a sage king, but at the same time he also has his weaknesses. He is very confident and even to the point of narcissism. He thinks that he is an emperor through the ages. Forcing Liang to be a prostitute and forcing the people to rebel, this is simply slapping him in the face, whoever doesn't give him face, he wants to look good!

The memorial was quickly circulated. After expressing his anger, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui calmed down and thought about how to deal with it. Now is not the time to be angry, the matter still needs to be resolved, and being angry will not help. Li Shimin didn't let Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and other generals come over to discuss the reason.

Fight, they can!Trick, no!

"Your Majesty, the most urgent task now is to punish the evil officials and the common people, and open the granary to save the common people!"

Fang Xuanling first pointed out the problems that need to be solved urgently.

"Well, what Ai Qing said is true!"

Li Shimin nodded. Everyone knows this, but Fang Xuanling's words have a calming effect. Li Shimin's impetuous heart gradually calms down. He is a wise king after all. There is hatred for evil officials!

"His Majesty!"

Suddenly, Wang De hurried in and bowed to Li Shimin.

"What's up!"

Li Shimin had some bad premonitions, Wang De was an old man in the palace, and he knew how to measure himself. Generally, he would not enter the study to disturb him if he had nothing important to do, especially when there were important ministers discussing state affairs.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it has just been rushed to the palace for eight hundred miles. The old slave asked him to wait outside the palace gate and inform His Majesty immediately."

Wang De spoke quickly, and touched the sweat on his forehead. It was hard for an old man to run so fast, and he was afraid of delaying things. Now he was relieved after speaking.

Li Shimin stood up immediately after hearing this, and hurried for eight hundred miles, already the highest level.

Because the Lizheng Palace is the sleeping palace of the eldest grandson empress, according to the rules, other men are not allowed to enter the harem unless the emperor gives permission. Therefore, Wang De only asked the messenger to wait outside the palace gate. They were all handed over to the emperor by the messenger, in order to prevent someone from dropping the bag or delaying the time, which would miss the opportunity.

Li Shimin was almost trotting, followed closely by Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, and Changsun Wuji had a round belly, and the flesh on his body swayed while running, which seemed a bit funny, but no one was in the mood to do that. Joking, eager to know what happened.

At the gate of the Taiji Palace, a man with a face full of wind and dust saw Li Shimin coming, and hurriedly knelt down to see him. Order someone to bring tea.

The man did not refuse, he was really thirsty, from Jiangnan to Chang'an, three days and two nights, several horses died of exhaustion, the horses were changed without changing, and they kept on going, now finally arrived in Chang'an, met His Majesty, The character is also considered complete.

The man took out a letter from his chest, with a chicken feather attached to it, commonly known as a chicken feather letter!

In ancient times, when urgent documents were delivered, chicken feathers were inserted on the envelope as a mark, which was a chicken feather letter. Once this letter was issued, it indicated that something important had happened.

It's just why chicken feathers are used to mark it. There is an ancient saying that chickens are a symbol of auspiciousness, which means turning bad luck into good luck.

Han Ying of the Western Han Dynasty recorded in "Han Poetry Wai Zhuan", "Wearing a crown on the head means wen; fighting with feet means martial arts; fighting with the enemy in front means being brave; calling out to each other when seeing food means being benevolent; keeping vigil at night without losing time. , Faith.” Here, chickens are endowed with the five virtues of civil, military, brave, benevolent and trustworthy, and people call chickens “the bird of five virtues.”

There are chicken feathers on the emergency documents, and the representative letter represents timelessness, and also represents people's expectations for this period.

Holding the letter in his hand, Li Shimin was not in a hurry to open it, but turned around and walked towards the Ganlu Palace. This is not a good place to talk. Everyone here is absolutely loyal to themselves, as long as anything happens in public, rumors will leak out, and now, Li Shimin doesn't want to attract others' prying eyes.

Walking quickly to the Ganlu Hall of the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin quickly opened the letter, looking at ten lines at a glance, the more he looked, the more angry he became,

Snapped!

"No reason!"

"emperor?"

Seeing Li Shimin fly into a rage, Changsun Wuji and others were shocked. Could something bad happen?Looking at Li Shimin, his eyes were full of inquiries.

"Look, look, I'm sure I won't get around Ma Rong!"

Li Shimin's anger is hard to calm down now, what did he say, the government forced the people to rebel, the government forced the people to rebel, is it really a golden word?I and others are still here to discuss countermeasures and solutions, and now I have such a blow to myself.

"Jiangnan, rebellion!"

Now Li Shimin does not want to have this kind of ability to make predictions come true. As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he thinks that he is very qualified, and he is proud of it. There is nothing wrong with his actions back then. Under my rule, the national power is strong, and it shows the splendor of the prosperous age. I am not wrong, and only I am the most suitable successor to the Tang Dynasty.

Countless midnight dreams, the bloody face of my elder brother always lingers in my mind, Tianjia has no family, the winner is king and the loser is Kou, I don’t have to feel guilty, I don’t have to regret it, really, I don’t have to, I do it myself Very good, better than big brother!Seeing that under my own governance, the country is strong and the people are stable, I will not regret it!

But now, just now, just now, his firmness has been broken in an instant. The previous rhetoric is like an excuse, and Li Shimin feels a little tired.

heart tired...
