Chapter 22

Tai Chi hall.

Li Shimin hummed a tune.

I wonder if I'm going to talk to empress Chang sun about it.

But right now.

A little eunuch hurried to report.

"Report! Emperor! Duke Zheng wants to see you!"

okay?

Zheng Guogong?

Li Shimin's eyelids jumped when he heard the speech.

"Wei Zheng, can you see how he looks today?"

The little eunuch thought and said, "back to the emperor, I don't know, but I don't seem very happy to listen to words..."

Aren't you happy

He is a little afraid of Wei Zheng.

Although Wei Zheng has always been careful about the imperial court, his reasonable and unforgiving mouth makes Li Shimin feel headache even when he thinks about it.

However, after careful thinking, there seems to be nothing special about going out of the palace recently.

Li Shimin thought of this and shook his sleeves: "pass!"

The next moment.

A rustle sounded.

Wei Zheng hurriedly appeared in the imperial book room of Taiji hall.

"Old minister Wei Zheng, see the emperor!"

"Aiqing, flat! Give me a seat!"

Li Shimin waved his hand.

Wei Zheng ignored Li Shimin, but said sadly, "the old minister is ashamed and dare not sit down!"

What's going on?

Li Shimin's eyebrows jumped: "Aiqing, what's the matter with you? Tell me!"

Wei Zhengwei gave a trembling Fist: "emperor, the old minister heard a great event in the Secretary's supervision today!"

"It's rumored that, emperor, you feel that the Pleiadian officials came down to Chang'an, so they ordered everyone not to use chicken or eggs. Is that true?"

Huh?!

Li Shimin was surprised!

However, Wei Zheng continued: "also, there are rumors in the market that the chicken and duck are foreign spies. The emperor is going to order that they are forbidden to eat, buy them uniformly, and then expel them all from Datang?"

Li Shimin's face was completely black.

Damn Cheng sunspot, damn changsun Wuji!

This thing... Why did I do it like this???

Didn't I tell you to investigate later?

This is the result of the survey?

"Cough!"

"Ai Qing! I don't know about it! Didn't you listen to it when I made an order last night? I don't know about it! Is there such a rumor in Fangshi?"

See Li Shimin pretending to be confused.

Wei Zheng sighed deeply.

He also knew that the emperor wasn't to blame for this. He said slowly, "it's all spread in the market, and now, Cheng Heizi and his eldest grandson are going to supervise it in person!"

"What!?"

Li Shimin was surprised.

He waved his hand to block Wei Zheng's mouth and said solemnly, "Aiqing, don't say any more. I'll make an order immediately to let them come back now!"

"Come on! Send a message that Duke Lu and Duke Zhao will enter the palace immediately!"

After thinking about it, Li Shimin shouted again: "spread all civil and military officials, go to the xuanzheng hall!"

……

A moment later.

All officials appeared in the propaganda hall, talking about Chang'an from last night to today.

"Lord Gao, do you have any chickens in your house?"

"No... no, there are two or three smoked chickens. If Lord Sun likes it, I'll buy you a drink tomorrow?"

"Cough, cough, forget it. There are also some in my family. However, do you know why the emperor made a hasty announcement to the court this time? Is it for the sake of the people?"

The crowd looked at the back of Wei Zheng, Cheng Yaojin, sun Wuji and others and pointed.

At this time, Cheng Yaojin and his eldest son Wuji almost started to swing all over.

"The emperor has arrived!"

Right now.

Dressed in dragon robes, Li Shimin appeared in the xuanzheng hall.

"Long live my emperor!"

Li Shimin waved his hand.

After taking a look at Cheng Yaojin and them, he said bluntly, "what are you going to do about the drought and locusts in Longyou road?"

“……”

See everyone silent.

Li Shimin said again: "yesterday, I got a way to not only solve the locust disaster, but also avoid the losses since the drought in Longyou road!"

"What?"

"Is there such a way?"

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? I'm stupid. Please give me the emperor's famous words!"

Li Shimin felt comfortable.

After looking around, he said the previous things again with dignity.

moment

Everyone was stunned.

It turned out that the emperor really instigated this?

However, at this time, Li Shimin said again, "Cheng Yaojin, changsun Wuji! How many chickens and ducks have you counted in Chang'an city since last night?"

They could not guess the emperor's intention.

Even Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and others could not guess what the emperor meant at this time.

Chang sun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin stepped forward and reported: "starting, emperor, according to our statistics, the number of adult chickens and ducks in Chang'an city is 3679753!"

"Three hundred and thirty-one adult pigs!"

"If you start from Chang'an and go to Longyou Road, you can calculate that the loss of chickens and ducks is 37000 and that of pigs is 69!"

Li Shimin nodded slowly.

But the next moment, his face sank.

Suddenly he drank and asked, "do you know the sin?"
