In the imperial garden.
Li Shimin and Wei Zheng had a long talk about managing the locust plague.
While chatting, he twisted up one greasy grasshopper from a large plate on the stone table, threw it into his mouth, chewed it, and then took a sip of wine. It's wonderful and self-evident.
"Aiqing, do you mean that the disaster in Tubo is more serious?"
Li Shimin took a sip of wine and his face was ruddy, but after a long silence, he looked at Wei Zheng and asked.
Wei Zheng thought for a moment, put down the grasshopper he was just about to eat and nodded.
"Well, the news from Liangzhou came to the house last midnight. It said that all the good merchants in Liangzhou had fled and returned from Tubo. Moreover, the minister also heard that there was a problem on the Turkic border, and all the Turkic people gathered at the border. It seemed that it was difficult to see those in rags."
"So, that is to say, brother Zhang Feng's prediction is very accurate. The locust disaster in the Tang Dynasty is caused by Tubo and Tuyuhun?"
Li Shimin's detailed analysis.
"Yes!"
Fang Xuanling nodded.
Squinting, he said, "it's true. I also checked the letters from all over the country. All the places where locusts broke out are close to these places, and the rest are basically OK."
"Well... Early tomorrow morning, the envoys of Tubo and Tuyuhun will have an audience. Emperor, I want to ask whether this matter will be discussed in the court, or whether I will go to Honglu temple to give a banquet in private and say at the banquet?"
Changsun Wuji frowned at Li Shimin.
"Well..."
Li Shimin touched the beard on his chin.
After thinking for a while, he said, "after going to the court tomorrow, I think those ministers must make a big use of bone strengthening powder today, so there will be a decision tomorrow."
"Isn't there a result in three days?"
Cheng Yaojin grabbed a bunch of locusts and stuffed them into his mouth. He asked vaguely.
"In this way, emperor, why don't you cook them for a day? In this way, it will be more beneficial to our interests. Moreover, those guys in the court will eat up the things you gave in three days, and they will be crazy to want them again."
Wei Zheng narrowed his eyes, with a conspiracy in his eyes.
"Zhuang Yang, this is a fatal attraction for every old thing. Don't ask the emperor anything for two days. Don't say anything. Those ministers will be unable to endure early the day after tomorrow. They will agree to what the emperor says in terms of interests. Once it is announced at that time, there will be no hesitation about the emperor's plan. As long as someone dares to oppose and question, don't ask , someone will be crazy against that person! "
The emperor's plan. Why don't these old guys know?
This is a big reshuffle and an opportunity to stand in line. In the face of huge interests, all the previous gaps will disappear. They are old Youzi. Who dares to block the way of wealth?
And still the wealth of the Manchu civil and military?
However, the money they earn will eventually enter the emperor's pocket, and then fly back to their pocket in pieces of paper. In this way, they are making money for the emperor rather than making money for them!
Who would object to this horseman?
Who dares to object?
"Good!"
When Li Shimin heard the speech, he said a good son greatly, then raised his glass and said, "in that case, I'll boil it for two days, just like the eagle trainer. I'll boil them, Zhu Qing, raise my glass and let's have a drink!"
Now all the plans, including the plot Zhang Feng told Li Shimin before and yesterday, have been made clear for the locust disaster in Tubo and other countries. Then, we will wait for three days.
After three days, what kind of era will Datang enter?
However, when several people raised their glasses, Li Yuan and the old eunuch came in a hurry. They stopped all those who wanted to report, stood not far from the huxinting, and then looked at Li Shimin.
Li Yuan also heard the conversation just now. Although he didn't hear what they discussed in a low voice, the last sentence made Li Yuan's anger unbearable.
If this goes on, the court hall will not become a good place?
These rebellious subjects and thieves!
Li Yuan was angry.
The whole body's evil spirit is soaring.
Right now.
Li Yuan no longer hid behind the tree and strode to the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
And the old eunuch who followed him was also at this time, screaming: "the supreme emperor has arrived!"
Several people who were drinking were surprised when they heard the speech.
Why is the emperor here.
But when he turned around, the supreme emperor rushed in with his luck on his back
Several people could not help but jump their eyebrows and quickly bowed down to worship.
And so is Li Shimin.
"Son minister (Minister) to see the emperor!"
Li Yuan didn't speak.
But walked into the Huxin Pavilion so angrily.
Sit down on the stone bench where Li Shimin just sat, stare at several people coldly, and say indifferently, "Wei Zheng, sun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Cheng Yaojin, do you know the crime?"
