The promotion of the imperial palace of the prosperous Huangmou

Chapter 771 Compassion
Sure enough, as soon as Li Yan took out the letter, Emperor Wen's expression turned dark.

After a long while, Emperor Wen raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is this?"

Li Yan didn't fluctuate at all, obviously guessing the result early in the morning.

"I know where my fault is, so I ask my father to forgive me first, and then deal with Hexi's affairs first." Li Yan's seriousness in persuading him in this way is a bit extra-charming.

At least from Lu Juntong's point of view, this is indeed the case.

Of course, in Emperor Wen's view, that was not the case.

In the end, Emperor Wen suppressed his anger and read the secret letter carefully.

There was probably nothing else written in the secret letter, so after reading it, Emperor Wen's expression was not bad.

After reading the secret letter, Emperor Wen thought about it for a while and then glanced at Li Yan: "Do you think this matter is an opportunity?"

Li Yan nodded directly: "It is indeed an opportunity. Hexi is a rich land, and it is rare for such a situation to happen. But since it happens, it will definitely cause civil strife. Now it is Zhang Nan's territory, and we can take the opportunity to do something on it. Make a fuss."

He spoke clearly and logically, but Emperor Wen only said one sentence: "However, since the plague of locusts has occurred, we must provide relief. If it drags on, Zhang Nan also has no choice but to be defeated in the end—"

From here you can see the difference between the two.

One is advocating, etc., and the other is advocating immediate action now.

Although Emperor Wen's proposition is conservative, there is nothing wrong with it.

It's just that the common people of the Li people are suffering.

After all, if the disaster relief is not effective, I am afraid that many people will starve to death.

"Father knows that Zhang Nan is unable to fight against natural disasters, let alone complete disaster relief, so why wait until then? Going to attack now is the same, and it's half the result with half the effort—" Li Yan persuaded with some helplessness: "We have been stationed in the There, too, are many inadequacies."

After all, the current military strength in North Korea and China is not too large. If the military strength is spent there, it will be difficult to deal with other things if there is something to do.

Li Yan said so, but Emperor Wen sneered, and then asked: "This matter is about you recovering now, the war and the locust plague, how much relief money do we have to prepare in the court? What is the state of the treasury, do you know?" I don't know?"

After such a sentence, Li Yan was immediately speechless.

Li Yan sighed: "Father is taking the lives of Hexi people in exchange for money from the treasury."

Although such a thing seems to be a helpless move, it is too cruel in the end.

What did the tens of millions of people in Hexi do wrong?

Could it be that because of one Zhang Nan Hexi people all became foreigners?
It's just that Li Yan didn't dare to say such words.After all, Emperor Wen must not be able to bear it.

"The national treasury is empty and can't stand the toss. It's only Zhang Nan's fault—the wolf's ambition." Emperor Wen sighed, seemingly helpless.

But only Li Yan knew that it was not true, and he was extremely helpless.Although the national treasury is not rich enough, the money for disaster relief can definitely be allocated.

It's just that Emperor Wen didn't want to, and felt it wasn't worth it.

So he just gave up the people of Hexi so abruptly.

"Regaining Hexi as soon as possible will also have a great effect on the stability of the court. Father, please think about it." Li Yan said this-on the face, it was almost a plea.
