Early the next morning, just as Li Tai was about to go to the disaster relief point outside Chang'an City. There was a eunuch in the palace who came to pass on Li Shimin's holy decree and asked Li Tai to enter the palace immediately.

Li Tai didn't understand what was going on, why his father summoned him so urgently. But one thing Li Tai can be sure of is that his father will never look for him to talk about his troubles.

After Li Tai received the holy decree, he rode the Wind Beast towards the Taiji Palace. Again, without anyone knowing, he went directly to the palace.

"I know that you kid doesn't have a long memory, and this palace is your Wei Wangfu in your eyes." Li Shimin looked at Li Tai and said helplessly.

"Father's words are right, in the eyes of Qingque, whether it is the Wei Wangfu or the palace, it is the home that Qingque cannot give up in his life. Because there are relatives of the green finch in it. Li Tai looked at Li Shimin and said lyrically.

"Alright, you kid don't go there with me. Since you're here, let's talk about it. Li Shimin said after waving his hand to Li Tai.

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Tai showed a puzzled expression. looked at Li Shimin without saying a word, as if he didn't understand what Li Shimin was talking about.

"Don't look at me like that, you know better than anyone what I'm talking about." Li Shimin said to Li Tai.

"Father, please forgive Qingque for being stupid. Qingque really didn't know the meaning of his father's words. Li Tai still said with a puzzled expression.

"Since you don't want to say it happily, let me ask. Tell me why you have so much food. Li Shimin saw Li Tai pretending to be stupid, so he asked directly.

"It turned out that my father asked about this, and my father could go to the disaster relief point of Qingque to take a look, and most of the grain that Qingque took out this time was Shu millet (sorghum). It was all saved up by the sparrow to prepare for winemaking. Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

In fact, Li Tai had already considered this problem and took out so much food at once. It's hard to guarantee that you won't be suspected by others.

At that time, if someone takes advantage of the topic and says that he has secretly accumulated grain and grass and deliberately rebelled, then he will really be passive.

Therefore, most of the grain that Li Tai asked Zou Fengchi to buy was mainly Shu millet. Because it is very convenient for Li Tai to explain. After all, Li Tai has a large-scale brewery.

When Li Shimin heard Li Tai's explanation, he also nodded helplessly. Because of this explanation, Li Shimin is indeed impeccable.

"Then where did your hundreds of thousands of catties of bacon come from, is it also for the sake of brewing?" Li Shimin continued to ask.

"Father, don't you know, the beast camp of the Wei King's forbidden army in Qingque needs to consume a lot of fresh meat every day to feed those beasts. Sometimes it can't be consumed, so it can only be made into bacon. Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

Hearing Li Tai's explanation, Li Shimin's heart was very clear. This is just Li Tai's prevarication, but it makes Li Shimin unable to question it.

"Don't go around in circles with me, your words are more than enough to deal with those courtiers. But after telling me, do you think I'll believe it? Li Shimin asked Li Tai bluntly.

"Qingque doesn't understand what his father means by this, does his father think that his sons are hoarding grain and grass without permission, and they have other intentions?" Li Tai opened his mouth and asked Li Shimin.

"I don't think you're going to rebel, but I think there's something strange about it. I think you've been well prepared to deal with this famine. Li Shimin waved his hand and said to Li Tai.

"Since the father believes that Qingque will not deliberately rebel, then Qingque can only speak bluntly to his father. On Chinese New Year's Eve this year, Li Xiaochang launched a rebellion against the palace. ”

"That night, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang worked together to deduce the heavenly machine and found that there would be a big famine this year."

"Originally, Qingque was going to report this matter to his father, but he was afraid that someone would say that Qingque would confuse the public."

"In the end, Qingque could only choose this way, and asked his father to forgive Qingque for not repaying it." Li Tai knelt on the ground and said to Li Shimin.

With the abilities of Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, it is not surprising that this year is a year of famine. This matter can be regarded as your painstaking efforts, and I am not to blame for this matter in the past. ”

"But if something like this happens next time, you'll have to say hello to me in advance. Otherwise, I will transfer Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng back from your side. Li Shimin said to Li Tai.

"Father, even if the father doesn't say it, Qingque is ready to return the two great sages, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, to the father. Because they can give full play to their talents by staying by their father's side than by the side of the green sparrow. Li Tai opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.

"Are you willing to lose these two great talents, they are a lot of people can't ask for help." Li Shimin looked at Li Tai and asked.

"Father, Qingque is still the same sentence. Qingque only hopes that in this life, he will be a free prince in peace. Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

"I'm afraid it's because the trees want to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop, why didn't I think like you back then." Li Shimin came to Li Tai's face, patted Li Tai's shoulder and said.

"Father, those are all afterthoughts, why mention him now." Li Tai said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"In the eyes of others, you are an iron rooster that never pulls out a hair. Nothing is more important in your eyes than silver. ”

"But at this critical juncture, you have taken out a wealth that the imperial court can't come up with. This shows that you have the people of the world in your heart. ”

"If the people of the world are afflicted, will you still be willing to be your carefree king?" Li Shimin stood beside Li Tai and said.

"Father, Qingque believes that with his father, the lives of the people in the world will definitely flourish." Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

Seeing that Li Tai's words were not leaking, Li Shimin could only sigh helplessly. After all, Li Tai didn't know that Li Shimin had already made up his mind. Let the future Tang Dynasty throne be inhabited by capable people.

So Li Tai will not show the slightest thought. After all, as the saying goes, the sky is unpredictable.

"I've got it to this point, and it's up to you how you interpret it. Go back and help me make this relief a good one. Li Shimin said to Li Tai.

"Since my father said so, then Qingque will not hide it from my father. The blue finch is not as great as his father said, and the reason why the green finch does this is to get greater profits. Li Tai said to Li Shimin after thinking about it.

"You say you're here for a bigger profit, but why don't I see the opportunity?" Li Shimin asked Li Tai puzzled.

"This business opportunity lies in this locust, and Qingque has ordered the disciples of Momen to catch locusts. And all the locusts that were not caught were sent to the ice cellar of the thirty-third heaven. Then in the winter, the blue finches will be taken out and sold. Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

"Although this is also a way to make money, it doesn't seem to be beneficial compared to your efforts." Li Shimin shook his head and said.
