The two important ministers requested this, and Li Shimin just happened to borrow Poxia's donkey.

Besides, he really wanted to bring that brat back and give him a good education.

But after learning about this yesterday, considering the impact, they could only let Chen Han and the others find someone secretly.

Now that you have a valid reason, why not?

"What you two beloved ministers said makes sense, but I didn't consider it carefully. So I will follow what my beloved ministers said and summon King Wu back to the capital immediately!"

Li Shimin nodded and said.

The matter was settled, and no one thought about the situation in detail.

Although I have doubts, many things do not necessarily require digging into the bottom of things to find out the truth, and those who really like to do so will not be in this room at this moment.

The meeting continued, and the discussion was still about the previous matter.

The current public opinion among the people is very unfavorable to Li Shimin.

Of course, this is due to those old fritters fanning the flames, who naturally have no regard for the life and death of the people.

But he was critical of the emperor's behavior.

Therefore, no matter how much they discussed, everyone still frowned and couldn't find a good way to come up with it.

Even Wei Zheng could only drop one sentence.

"Public speech can no longer be so unscrupulous. Over time, it will definitely damage the imperial authority. If there is no other way, we can only aggrieve Your Majesty."

Li Shimin couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

Even if you pull it back and forth, you will still be punished.

He has no objection to this approach.

If it can put the people of the world at ease, there is nothing wrong with reading a confession.

only……

He was so angry that his teeth itched.

If we really had to compromise like this, I don’t know how high the tails of those dogs would have to be raised.

And now that it has been delayed for so long, the disaster relief situation is not ideal. It is likely to continue to spread, and the situation is obviously continuing to worsen.

So at this time, I had to make some responses.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the King of Wu was sent to Cangzhou to provide disaster relief. Why didn't you tell me before?"

Everyone present is the backbone of the Tang Dynasty and the strongest wise men. Although Changsun Wuji is asking Li Shimin, is he not also asking them?

At this mention, everyone suddenly came back to their senses.

There is an article!

Li Shimin saw his expression and immediately understood what he meant.

"Auxiliary machine, do you mean to use my son as an example?"

Changsun Wuji nodded slightly.

You cannot use physical methods to solve public opinion. It does not mean that if you tell others to shut up, they will really shut up.

The best way to respond to public opinion is to give a positive answer to this matter, so that those who follow the trend can have a second channel for news.

This world is Li Shimin's after all. Even though the Five Surnames and Qiwang have a high influence among the people, they have to listen to what the emperor says.

King Wu Li Ke went to Cangzhou to provide disaster relief!

This response is very powerful.

I have sent all my sons to the disaster area and personally directed the disaster relief. What else do you want?

If there is still someone taking the lead in making noise at this time, then Li Shimin can have someone take action.

Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair, tapping the handle with his fingers, making a knocking sound.

No one spoke below.

Fang Xuanling had a frown on his face. He glanced at Changsun Wuji, who had a calm expression on his face and could not see much expression.

I have to say, this method is really good.

Although the King of Wu is not as famous as the Crown Prince and the King of Wei, he is still a real prince, and his status is there.

And he is already in the disaster area at the moment. This can be enriched in external remarks, describing King Wu as a great image who loves the people like a son and takes the initiative to go to the disaster area to provide relief.

A lot of articles can be written here.

Of course, there will certainly be many words of praise for Li Shimin.

But if this happens, King Wu will really not be able to come back in a short time.

Auxiliary machine, auxiliary machine, what is your idea?

When Fang Xuanling thought of this, her heart became heavier.

After a long silence, Li Shimin finally gave his answer.

"I would like to appoint King Wu as the pacifier of Hebei Province and take charge of all the relief matters. What do you think?"

The ministers below did not answer immediately, but were digesting the meaning revealed in this.

During the Tang Dynasty, after disasters occurred in various places, the method of sending envoys to provide disaster relief was adopted.

To deal with various problems caused by disasters.

Envoys have many tasks, including conveying the emperor's will for relief, inspecting the disaster relief situation of local agencies, providing loans to disaster-stricken areas, exempting fiscal and taxation, inspecting official administration, and hearing lawsuits, etc.

In terms of power, because the central government does not know the situation in the disaster area, the pacifier has the power to act expeditiously on the disaster area.

When it comes to the selection of personnel, the pacifiers are basically close ministers around the emperor, so most of the time they are selected from the Yushitai.

This time is no exception.

The person who was transferred was an official named Wu from Taichung, the imperial censor. After receiving the appointment, this official had already rushed to the disaster area five days ago.

Now, except for the Cangzhou area, which is the most severe area, other surrounding states have been steadily providing disaster relief.

It's just that now that the other party has made no mistakes, it is somewhat unreasonable to change generals on the spot.

Of course, for the officials present, even if they knew, they wouldn't say anything.

Wei Zheng was the first to answer.

"Your Majesty, although this is a good move, King Wu also needs to protect him and should send more people."

The guy who was the most arrogant agreed, and the others naturally wouldn't object.

What's more, this move was indeed well played.

If the news continues like this, most of the dissatisfaction among the people should disappear, as long as the subsequent disasters can be contained.

This storm is basically over.

"In that case, let's do this." Li Shimin said expressionlessly.

Once the matter is decided, the next work will be easy to do.

Various procedures were passed one by one, appointment edicts were prepared, and personnel were arranged.

It was prepared almost on the same day and sent out directly. The efficiency was extremely fast.

As the people watched the convoy leave Chang'an City, the news that King Wu Li Ke went to the disaster area to provide relief suddenly began to spread at a crazy speed.

With Chang'an as the center, it spread to the surrounding areas.

In the imperial garden, Li Shimin looked at the sparrows eating not far away, seemingly in a daze.

"Second brother, are you thinking about Ke'er?"

A pair of plain hands suddenly placed on his shoulders, and then gently kneaded them.

"Guanyin Maid, do you think I did this right?"

"The epidemic is invisible and will die if you catch it. If Ke'er responds to this..."

Li Shimin came back to his senses and felt his body gradually soothing, but his expression was slightly dazed, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.

Empress Changsun sat quietly beside him, placed her left hand on Li Shimin's palm, and clasped her fingers lightly.

"Second brother..."
