Chapter 825: The Crazy Writer Lang
825. Crazy Writings Lang
On the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin laughed with the good news, couldn't calm down for a long time, and said with a straight smile: "The prince has broken the Shuo Fang, and Master Liang fled in a hurry like a lost dog, so there is no need to worry."
The ministers were also happy and congratulated, but there were a few people with a vague gloom in their eyes, but they were very hidden.
It's just that Li Shimin smiled, and then he looked worried, held his watch and said: "The prince asked for 30,000 stone of grain, Xuanyin, can you allocate it?" ”
Hearing this, the head of the household department Shangshu Dai Xuan's face was bitter, his face was entangled for a while, and he seemed to think about it for a while, and then he also went out of work and gritted his teeth and said: "The minister will try his best to dispatch, and within three days, he will definitely be able to send grain to Shuofang." As he spoke, Dai Xuan also frowned, and seemed to be very embarrassed.
Nowadays, the state affairs are difficult, the drought in the Guannai for two consecutive years was almost provoked by the people's uprising, the treasury is poor, how can there be extra money and food, but Dai Zhou is a sensible person, the front line is short of food, needless to say, gritted his teeth to respond, no matter what, from between the teeth to borrow some to save 30,000 stone grain.
Li Shimin couldn't bear to see this, and his heart was moved, and he comforted him gently: "Xuanyin has worked hard for you."
"The duty of the minister, dare not say anything" Dai Zhou was greatly moved when he saw this, and he bowed to him.
It's a good scene of harmony between monarchs and ministers, virtuous and virtuous, but someone came to destroy it.
"Your Majesty, the Liang thief has been entrenched in Shuofang City for many years, and he must have accumulated countless money in the army, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has broken through Shuofang City, and there should be countless money and grain, and it must be handed over to the treasury, why do you have to ask the court for money and grain, in addition, the minister heard that His Royal Highness the Prince's general grain is scattered among the people, so that there is no food in the army, how important is the grain and grass in the army, and the prince's move is really a taboo for soldiers."
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, so bold, look at it, this person is in the middle of the civil officials, the official position is not low, but from the fifth grade, this person is the bachelor of Hongwenguan, the author Lang Xiao Deyan, all the ministers are surprised to look at Xiao Deyan, what is going on with this tepid writer Lang today, why on this occasion to refute His Majesty, slander the prince, it is really unwise, this writer Lang is crazy.
Sure enough, Xiao Deyan's voice fell, Li Shimin's face was yin, and before he could speak, Prince Zhan Shi Yu Zhining just jumped out and said indignantly: "The people of Shuofang have been oppressed by the Liang thieves, and there are starvations all over the road.
Yu Zhining, as a subordinate official of the East Palace, although he is not very close to Li Pojun, it is true that he is dedicated to the main thing.
Hearing Yu Zhining's words, the ministers also nodded in agreement, and Xiao Deyan saw that Yu Zhining, the big guy, came forward, which was a little empty, but then gritted his teeth and said: "The war is outside, but it is to sacrifice military food, it is difficult to ensure that the army is unstable, His Royal Highness the Prince is putting the conquest in child's play."
Xiao Deyan said this, and it was clear that he was going to raise the bar with His Royal Highness the Prince, and the eyes of all the ministers were in a trance, and the acquaintances had already bowed their heads and were silent, but someone was furious.
"I'm a bullshit thing, you know a fart military, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Ping Youyan, Po Shuo Fang, although he is young, he has a great record, no better than you, a poor sour Confucian who can only mourn and bark, will use soldiers, this is a plan to break the cauldron and sink the boat, that is, I Lao Cheng, a big boss, understands that the soldiers of the whole army know that there is not much food for the army and no food for the people, so they must be brave and move forward, dare not use their lives, and it will not take a few days to capture and kill Liang Shidu. You know a fart, and you're still talking about military affairs here, and when it comes to military books, my old Cheng is much more than you, a poor and sour Confucian."
Cheng Fairy jumped to his feet, pointed at Xiao Deyan and scolded him with his head and face, spitting stars splashing everywhere, Xiao Deyan's face was red and white for a while, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little fluttering, but then he wanted to say something.
Li Shimin was a dragon case, "Zhijie sat down and spoke".
Cheng Yanjin sat down angrily, and raised his fist at Xiao Deyan, with a threatening look on his face, anyway, the people in the court, this old goblin, there is nothing he wouldn't dare.
"Master Xiao, do you know how much grain and grass the prince asked for from the imperial court on this trip?" Li Shimin's eyes shimmered, and he seemed to see through Xiao Deyan.
Xiao Deyan was a little uncomfortable stared at by Li Shimin's eyes, and he twisted it and said: "Ministers, ministers don't know, it's just that tens of thousands of troops are going out, and the cost of grain and grass must be huge."
"Hehe, Xuanyin, you tell him", Li Shimin raised the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and said directly.
Dai Xuan also looked at Xiao Deyan with a strange face at this time, and then raised his head and said loudly: "The prince went out on the expedition and did not take a stone of grain and grass."
When the ministers heard this, except for a few people who had known for a long time, they were all shocked, the Northern Expedition to Liang didn't ask for a stone of grain and grass, how could this be possible!
Xiao Deyan was also dumbfounded, and then said bluntly: "It's impossible to ......."
Before he could say anything, Li Shimin interrupted the courtier's speech for the first time, and said bluntly: "The grain and grass that the prince spent on the expedition are all provided by himself, how about it?" Bachelor Xiao still wants to say that the prince is excessive? Li Shimin shouted in a low voice with a gloomy face.
Xiao Deyan was already pale with fright when he saw this, where did he dare to say more, but he just snorted and said: "The minister doesn't dare", and quietly retreated, but it was also smart.
Li Shimin glanced at Xiao Deyan deeply, and seemed to inadvertently look at Du Chuke who was chattering in front of him, and his eyes shimmered,
The ministers once again saw Li Shimin's unsparing defense of the crown prince.
Li Shimin then looked at Du Ruhui again, and said bluntly: "Keming still needs to work hard to elect the subordinate officials of Xiazhou as soon as possible."
Du Ruhui came out of class to respond, and then Li Shimin inspected the hundred officials in the palace, waved his big sleeves, and directly said "retreat from the court", and then threw his sleeves and left.
Clear-eyed people can see that His Majesty is in a bad mood, and he is obviously overjoyed when he looks at the prince's good news, but at this moment he is angry and very grateful As for why this is so, many people glanced at Xiao Deyan in a vague way, and some people were puzzled, some people gloated, and some people seemed to have figured out something.
Du Ruhui's body has improved greatly, at least when he gets up, he doesn't need Fang Xuanling around him to give him a hand, and after going down, he got up and said goodbye to the surrounding eldest grandson Wuji, Gao Shilian, and Fang Xuanling, and hurriedly withdrew from His Royal Highness.
Stopping on the avenue, Du Ruhui looked at the officials and people coming and going, with hidden worries in his eyes, and at this time, a car approached.
"Why is my brother waiting here?" A person's square and dignified voice sounded, and the man lifted the curtain of the car door to look at Du Ruhui who was standing on the side of the road, and asked with a concerned face.
This person is Du Ruhui's younger brother Du Chuke, and his official position is the chief of the Yue Wangfu.
