"That's right, I fled from Shandong. I ate everything along the way. I thought I could fill my stomach when I arrived in Chang'an, but I didn't have a grain of rice! It would be fine if Chang'an had no food, but I saw with my own eyes those Grain merchants have a lot of grain in their hands, why don't they distribute it to us? It's not that the emperor thinks we are useless and wants to starve us to death!!"
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo,o, for of of me... I ate everything on the way to escape the famine. My parents starved to death on the road just to keep me fed. We + we just want to live. What's wrong with us victims of the disaster!!"
"Why, why don't those grain merchants provide grain? Is it because we are victims of the disaster that we are not human beings? We need justice, we need the truth!!"
"Yes, justice! Justice!!"
"Justice! The truth!!"
"Justice! The truth!!"
"Justice! The truth!!"
The victims were excited.
The sounds started out discordant, gradually became consistent, and finally came together.
It formed an unstoppable sound, deafening and filled with endless anger.
At a nearby restaurant.
Window seat on the second floor.
With a "click" sound, a handsome young man put away his paper fan, feeling high-spirited.
"The momentum has been established, Li Shimin, how are you going to deal with it?!"
The slave next to him immediately stepped forward and said with a flattering smile, "Sir, the food is all in the hands of the noble family. If Li Shimin wants to solve the problem, he can only ask the family master for food."
"And the head of the family will definitely make Li Shimin agree to the appointment. By then, you will be the new fifth-grade official, Taichang Ling!!"
"At the age of eighteen, you can become a fifth-grade official. This is unheard of in past dynasties. Your future, sir, will be limitless, and you will even be recorded by historians!!"
When the young man heard this, he felt proud and proud.
Close your eyes and feel it carefully.
It was as if he had already been immersed in the beautiful fantasy that he was already a fifth-rank official.
This scene,
Appears everywhere.
All the children of the aristocratic families who appeared on the book were watching the development of the situation.
In their discussions with their servants, they all said that Li Shimin had no respect for the crown prince of a country.
As you can imagine,
If these people were allowed to take office, would the Li family still be the king of the Tang Dynasty? !
…………
The main residence of the Lu family.
"It's strange. According to the information just returned, the resentment of the victims has reached its peak. Why hasn't Li Shimin come to us to get food?!"
The head of the Li family in Longxi was a little surprised.
Could it be that Li Shimin has food? !
This is impossible! !
Eighty percent of the food in Chang'an City is controlled by aristocratic families, and the remaining 20% has been consumed long ago. The national treasury is definitely empty.
There is no food inside.
They also have people monitoring the outside. Except for Hangzhou, which sent half a month's worth of food for 5,000 people, and it is still on the way, there is no contact with other cities.
Why could Li Shimin still sit still when it was clearly a dead end? !
"Haha, with the arrogant and arrogant temper of Mr. Li Jiaerang, he may break the pot, or... even if he is drowned in the saliva of the victims, he is not willing to compromise with us."
The head of the Li family in Zhaojun chuckled and gave two judgments.
And these two judgments,
No matter which one, it is beneficial to them.
The clock is ticking.
In the imperial city, everyone was like ants on a hot pot.
"Where is your Majesty? Why haven't you come yet? There is no food at the moment. Should we send troops to evacuate the victims?"
Du Ruhui was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
This public resentment,
If the fermentation continues, the royal family will be in serious danger! !
"Prime Minister Du, don't worry, your Majesty will find a solution."
Compared to Du Ruhui's anxiety, Changsun Wuji, who also summoned the victims, was very relaxed.
What's more, there was a smile that couldn't be concealed at the corner of his mouth.
Du Ruhui saw in his eyes that this old boy had been like this all morning. He didn't say anything when asked, acting like a mute, and wanted to scare him to death.
"Auxiliary machine, what do you and His Majesty have to rely on? Tell me?!"
Du Ruhui asked again.
"Your Majesty will give you the answer."
Changsun Wuji replied.
Du Ruhui rolled his eyes and gave this stupid answer again.
"Your Majesty has arrived~~!!"
At this time, a sharp eunuch's voice sounded, causing everyone to kneel down and worship the figure.
I saw Li Shimin wearing a yellow robe today, with a majestic dragon face, and the two eunuchs following him were holding whisks in their hands.
Full of momentum!
And it makes people feel that His Majesty still has a spontaneous confidence today.
This left the family officials present a little confused. They all received intelligence that Li Shimin did not ask for food from the family. Where did this confidence come from? !
Surrounded by everyone, Li Shimin came to the imperial city wall and looked down at the dark crowd of refugees below.
"It's your Majesty. Your Majesty, you are finally here. We need food, we need food!!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu""""""wuwuwu"," he said. Tang Dynasty."
"Your Majesty, please let those grain dealers distribute grain. We are not human beings in your eyes. Just let them distribute pig food or horse food. We only need food!!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is putting out grains!!"
The victims were excited.
Viewed from Li Shimin's position.
As far as the eye can see, there are sounds of people kneeling down and praying for food.
The victims' clothes were in tatters, their faces were sallow and their muscles were thin, and their lips were rotten. Many of them were even thinner and more lifeless than beggars.
He saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart.
His eyes were moist.
Clench your right hand tightly.
These damn aristocratic families! !
His hatred for the aristocratic family increased even more.
Li Shimin thought about it carefully last night and came up with a way.
Today, regardless of whether Li Kuan has the food or not, he must summon the victims. He will personally eat the locusts in front of the victims.
Everyone says that locusts are poisonous.
If he dies because of this, it proves that God does not want him to be the emperor. This is destiny! !
And if it’s edible, that’s a new solution! !
From the beginning to the end, he never wanted to compromise with the family.
He has his own pride and dignity, which cannot be trampled by aristocratic families! !
Li Shimin originally wanted to take a big gamble, but the appearance of food in Li Kuan's mansion made him give up this idea.
Kuan'er, father, thank you very much.
Silently thanking him from the bottom of his heart, Li Shimin took a deep breath, hiding his weakness in his heart, and regained his dignity as an emperor.
Raise your right hand.
In an instant, many complaints from the people below gradually stopped, and they all knew that His Majesty was about to speak.
"My fellow citizens, these days there are countless reports of droughts in various places, falling like snowflakes."
"You are all the people of the Tang Dynasty and a part of the Tang Dynasty. You are indispensable. I know your pain and will never ignore you!!"
