Chapter 579

"Dong Dong Dong!"

Maoshi is the most leisurely time of the day.

The watchmen also worked alternately, taking the morning bell of Mao as the signal.

When the clock rings.

The lights of Chang'an City were also lit one after another.

Some people's sedan chairs, or carriages, or even horses, with lanterns or torches, went lazily towards the imperial city.

If you look down from the sky, you will find that fire dragons converge towards the Imperial City in the hazy sky, just like a giant dragon.

The lights in the depths of the imperial palace were lit up again and again, especially in the xuanzheng hall, which shone like day

Early morning is the most suitable time of the day.

At this time, there were already groups of gong'e eunuchs in the Imperial Palace, cleaning in a hurry, and there was basically no one in the square market on the Zhuque bridge.

Only a few sporadic people are selling beer and dried barbecue, and the dried barbecue is mostly hunted from the mountains or old cured meat.

That smell.

It is still coveted by everyone.

Even standing under the thirty-six steps outside the xuanzheng hall, you can still smell the tempting smell. In the past, almost every minister would stop to buy some food and drink a bamboo tube soaked in the moat river.

But now even if they are greedy, they dare not!

Now, the emperor is staring at them.

What they wear seems to be more broken than usual

Most of the people here are not so poor that they can't afford to wear clothes or eat a penny's beer, but now they must pretend to be poor, otherwise they will suffer at any time!

After all, the crown prince borrowed food from every family yesterday!

But there are those who are afraid and those who are not afraid.

For example, Cheng Yaojin grabbed a roast rabbit in one hand and bit it with a bang. In the other hand, he held a bamboo tube and drank freely. The people smelled the fragrance in the air. Looking at Cheng Yaojin's appearance, his stomach began to growl.

Everyone can swallow their saliva and scold Cheng Yaojin in their hearts.

After entering the xuanzheng hall.

After finishing their appearance, they closed their eyes and held Bai Yugui in their hands. They were like clay sculptures and shut up.

And right now.

The voice of the little noble son came out at the gate of the back hall.

"The emperor is here!"

They all held Bai Yugui in their arms, bowed down and shouted, "welcome the emperor!"

"Flat!"

With a wave of his hand, Li Shimin climbed the eight step ladder to the sky, sat on the Dragon chair, took a faint look at the people, and finally his eyes fell on Hou Junji.

Together, all officials began to report on their own situation and the recent disaster relief.

Half an hour later, after dealing with these things, Li Shimin said, "I accidentally learned yesterday that the crown prince had encountered a wall one after another by borrowing grain? Is there such a thing?"

Hearing the speech, Li Chengqian said, "father, it's true!"

"Did you borrow food?"

After a moment of silence, Li Chengqian said, "my son was incompetent. He ran all over Chang'an and borrowed only 500 stone grains. At this time, fortunately, my son met Duke Chen. Duke Chen generously donated 10000 stone grains for my son's Bailu academy!"

Li Chengqian bit the seven words of his son's White Deer academy very hard.

At this moment, all the officials were shocked.

"Ten thousand stones?"

"Where did Duke Chen get the grain?"

"So many..."

"God!"

Li Shimin was also surprised.

"Duke Chen, what the prince said is true?"

Hou Junji heard the speech and hurriedly said, "emperor, this is what a minister should do!"

"Didn't you donate ten thousand stones yesterday? What's the reason? Does it mean that your father Chen's family is about to be full of grain?"

Hou Junji's eyes flickered when he heard the speech.

"Your Majesty, I used to live in Luozhou all the year round, and Luozhou and Chang'an are the nearest places. As a minister, I was worried about being loyal to the king. So I accidentally learned that the emperor was storing grain last time, so I deliberately paid attention to it. At this time, I stored about 50000 stones. When the famine broke out, I donated 30000 stones to Luozhou and left 20000 stones for emergency."

"After learning about Chang'an, the old minister came to Chang'an nonstop and offered his modest strength."

Really, there is no leak!

How could Li Shimin not know that after he left the Taiji palace, he went directly to the east palace?

Moreover, Hou Junji is extremely deceitful, so Li Shimin is extremely reluctant for Li Chengqian to have too many contacts with such people.

Fortunately, the appearance of Zhang Feng gave Li Shimin hope.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "yes, I'm very happy to have a virtuous minister like Duke Chen. However, what does this mean for the prince's 10000 stone grain?"

All the officials were appalled.

Before, Li Shimin said that he wanted to store grain, but they strongly opposed it. Now when they heard that Hou Junji, Duke of state Chen, had only relied on a little wind to store 50000 stone grain, many of them almost gushed out their old blood.

This old fox is a fucking chicken thief!
