Li Shimin's seemingly indifferent words stirred up a storm in the hearts of all officials!

Everyone in the audience was panicked.

At this time, Changsun Wuji, the head of Lingyan Pavilion, stepped out and saluted, saying: "Your Majesty has been working diligently in recent years, coordinating the overall situation internally, working diligently, and devoting himself to expressing his views for all officials."

"You work hard for the people of the world all the time. How can you say that you are immoral? Your Majesty, please don't believe the nonsense spread by this treacherous villain!"

Just as Changsun Wuji finished expressing his views, Wei Zheng, the counselor, came out and said seriously:

"Your Majesty He is a wise and wise king throughout the ages. Although he made some minor mistakes, it is by no means a violation of morality. As a counselor, I have not fulfilled my duties due to the spread of such rumors in the court. This is my fault and I am guilty. "

Then Cheng Yaojin strode out and shouted in a loud voice: "Damn it, which blind villain is talking nonsense with open eyes! Don't let me catch you! Otherwise, I will let you taste my power!"

The officials watched the three people express their opinions, and then one by one admitted their mistakes.

Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair and watched this scene. He could see clearly who was sincere and who was false.

He waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and the officials instantly shut up.

At this moment, you could hear a pin drop in the Taiji Hall. Li Shimin looked around calmly and spoke again: "Whether it is immoral or not, I know it best in my heart!" After a pause, Li Shimin's voice suddenly rose: "But! What's worse, it is said that the drought in the world is my fault! Only if I issue the imperial edict of guilt can I calm the anger of God!"

"Is this true!"

Li Shimin was furious! The people below were frightened and terrified!

"Your subjects deserve to die!" All the officials answered in unison at this moment.

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin couldn't help but snorted coldly. He didn't know how many times he had heard this sentence.

Li Shimin naturally had no way to deal with this trick, and of course he had his purpose for saying so.

Then Li Shimin said calmly: "Okay, I will find out who is making false comments in private."

"However, I met an immortal yesterday, and he told me that it would rain in Chang'an in three days!"

"So I decided! Issue an imperial decree immediately to let the people re-moisten the land and replant!"

It has been a long drought, and the land is dry and cracked, so it is impossible to replant. Only by re-moistening the land and replanting, and then watering it many times can the land regain its vitality.

But now the people don't have enough water, where can they get water for multiple watering? ?

Cheng Yaojin and others who knew the inside story immediately understood Li Shimin's intention. The previous anger was just to put pressure on him, and the real purpose was probably to make it easier for this imperial decree to pass.

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, all the officials were shocked!

Immortal? ? They thought that His Majesty was probably confused!

Someone immediately stood up. This was Dai Zhou, the Minister of Revenue who managed the land in the world. He walked out sideways and said with some excitement:

"Your Majesty! This move is absolutely not allowed! The people don't have much surplus food. If they re-sow again, if it doesn't rain in three days."

"It will undoubtedly aggravate the famine in the entire Gyeonggi Province!"

"I hope your majesty will think twice!"

Dai Zhou was a little excited at this moment. In his opinion, Li Shimin's move was simply the behavior of a tyrant! What immortal? I'm afraid he was fooled by some charlatan.

After hearing Dai Zhou's words, all the officials discussed it underground, but most of them held a unified view. Everyone believed that Li Shimin's move was not good for the country and the people.

Then, Wei Zheng, the number one troll in the Tang Dynasty, came out. He wanted to come out and scold Li Shimin as soon as he finished speaking.

Who knew that Dai Zhou got there first, so Wei Zheng endured it for a while.

"Stupid!! Your Majesty is a saintly monarch! How could you believe the words of that charlatan? Believe in slander! This is a foolish and unjust act!"

"Let the people sow again. This move will have far-reaching consequences and hurt the people. By then, the people of the entire Tang Dynasty will be in dire straits because of your Majesty's words! What is the difference between your Majesty's move and that of the monarch who lost his country?"

After Wei Zheng finished speaking, he waved his sleeves, righteously, and stared at Li Shimin above.

When Li Shimin heard Wei Zheng's words, his brows furrowed, his hands clenched involuntarily, and his veins bulged. He was obviously extremely angry!

Although Li Shimin had been scolded by Wei Zheng many times, he often warned himself to hold back! But Li Shimin couldn't help it every time he heard it, mainly because the old man Wei Zheng's scolding was too ugly!

He actually called himself the monarch who lost his country!

Li Shimin was angry and just wanted to refute, but someone else came out.

"Your Majesty, I also think this is inappropriate. Although the drought is cruel, the whole country worked together to endure it and it got through.Reseeding will inevitably accelerate the severity of the disaster, so please think twice. "

This person is Cui Huaan, who has a close relationship with the Cui family of the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Cities.

When the officials saw this person's statement, some people who were still hesitant before immediately lined up to oppose Li Shimin's decision.

However, these people did not express their opinions sincerely. These people all have some relationship with the various families of the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Cities.

They don't care whether it will really rain in three days. As long as they oppose, they will do anything to put pressure on Li Shimin.

First, as long as this matter develops naturally, Li Shimin will definitely ask for help from the major families, so The control and influence of the noble families on the court will be raised to a higher level.

Second, the rice prices in various parts of the Tang Dynasty are firmly controlled by the noble families. Because of the drought, they are all making money from the national disaster. If Li Shimin's order is passed, they will also be affected.

So after Cui Huaan came out to express his position, all the officials, big and small, who were related to the noble families stood up.

Li Shimin frowned and looked at this scene. He really had no way to deal with these people. The control of the noble families over the court has long been deeply rooted!

Then he turned his head to look at Fang Xuanling and made a look. Fang Xuanling immediately understood and walked out.

"Everyone, I saw the immortal with my own eyes. It is true."

"Besides, it rained heavily in a farmland outside Chang'an the day before yesterday. I believe you have all heard that the heavy rain was actually caused by the immortals, so I think there is nothing wrong with your majesty's move. "

Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction, while the officials below were shocked and began to discuss.

"The rain outside the city turned out to be caused by an immortal? I was wondering why it was so strange that it only rained on that field."

"I also heard from the servants that the rain was very strange. Other fields were dry, but only that field had a downpour! Many people were cheering there!"

"Many people in the folk spread more and more strange stories, saying that the Dragon King had appeared!"

"So who is this immortal? "

Unlike everyone else, several important officials headed by Zhangsun Wuji bowed their heads and pondered after hearing Fang Xuanling's words. After a while, they changed their minds and supported Li Shimin's order.

However, most officials with roots in the aristocratic families still insisted on opposing it, using various reasons to oppose the harmfulness of Li Shimin's order.

Just when the court was arguing about IQ,

On Zhuque Street, a blue-skinned turtle was being chased by many people...
