His Highness the King of Shu Prophessed a Catastrophe?
Zhangsun Wuji did not quibble anymore.
He didn't dare to say another word. He knew that Li Shiming was still angry, so he didn't want to say anything wrong.
He knelt on the ground, feeling extremely angry and wronged!
Because he didn't know about these things at all. He didn't know that Member Yang had actually done so many crazy things behind his back!
If he had known, he wouldn't have dared to praise Member Yang in front of Li Shiming!
He had never expected that Member Yang would actually hide so much wealth behind his and the Crown Prince's backs and do so many heartless things!
Even he was shocked when he heard this!
He knew that today's operation was a complete failure.
He originally wanted to find Li Ke's loophole and then properly deal with Li Ke, but who knew that he was in the wrong today. He had completely shot himself in the foot!
Why did he choose to find trouble with Li Ke today!
This wouldn't have happened one day earlier or one day later!
He regretted telling Member Yang to scram even more!
Now, not only would he not let Li Ke have any problems, but he would also be implicated.
He could feel that Li Shiming was really disappointed in him, and this…made him want to cry!
Li Shiming wanted to reprimand Zhangsun Wuji, but seeing Zhangsun Wuji suddenly kneel down, he could not say anything.
After all, Zhangsun Wuji was the person he trusted the most and had even made great contributions for him. He could not completely deny Zhangsun Wuji just because of one matter.
He finally put down his raised hand and sighed.
Fang Xuanling took in Li Shiming's change in details and said,"Your Majesty, the matter has already happened. It is not the time to be angry. Fortunately, the heavens have pity on the people of Yizhou and let His Highness the King of Shu go! Otherwise, it was even more obvious what would happen!”
Wei Zheng also said," Yes, His Highness the King of Shu is wise. With him going to Yizhou, he arrested all the corrupt officials like Member Yang, cleaned up the officialdom, and appointed new officials. I think there are some results. Your Majesty should be glad for the people. At least their hard days are over, and their hope has come!“
Li Shiming's face finally looked better after hearing Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng's words.
He said," The heavens favor Yizhou. Fortunately, Ke 'er went to Yizhou. Otherwise, if something really happened to the 300,000 people in Yizhou, I would not be at ease!"”
He looked at Zhangsun Wuji, then at Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng.""You often tell Us that the Great Tang has welcomed a golden age and that the world has been governed. We originally thought so, but now We know how laughable Our thoughts are!”
"Now that the Yizhou incident has been discovered, who knows if there are no other people like Member Yang in the Great Tang? However, the memorials that the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs presents to me every year all say that the officials are honest and diligent. This has really deceived me for who knows how long! I don't know which part of the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs 'words is true and which part is false!”
When Zhangsun Wuji heard Li Shiming's words, his body trembled once again. He felt bitter in his heart and quickly said,"This subject…shall die ten thousand times!"
"The Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs isn't your own. If you die, what use is there to the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs?”
Li Shi Min sighed, as if he had aged a few years in an instant. He said,"Assistant, get up. Zhen believes that you are also in the dark about this matter!”
When Zhangsun Wuji heard this, his eyes turned red. He kowtowed again and said,"Your Majesty is perceptive. Thank you for your kindness!”
After saying that, he stood up again.
However, the current him was no longer as smug as before. He lowered his head and did not dare to say another word.
Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng and said,"Xuancheng, your Imperial Censor Office will take the lead and investigate the officials again with the Ministry of Personnel!"”
Li Shi Min's eyes suddenly flashed with dignity and light,"Zhen needs to truly know the character of the officials of the Great Tang and know everything they do!”
When Wei Zheng heard this, he bowed and said,""This subject obeys the decree!"
Zhangsun Wuji felt even more bitter. He knew that bringing the Imperial Censorate with him meant that Li Shimin no longer trusted the Ministry of Personnel. However, after this incident, he did not dare to be dissatisfied.
He could only bow and say,"This subject obeys the decree!"
Li Shi Min nodded, his expression gradually softening.
Fang Xuanling stepped forward and said," Your Majesty, after what happened in Yizhou, the 300,000 people are short of food. We should think of a way to deliver some food to them now!"”
"But in recent years, the Great Tang has suffered many droughts and floods, and the national treasury doesn't have much grain. It'll be difficult to transport it!”Wei Zheng could not help but frown.
Fang Xuanling sighed." No matter how difficult it is, we have to think of a way. We can't let 300,000 people starve to death because of a member of the Yang Family, right?"”
"My dear ministers, you don't have to worry about these things!”
Li Shi Min's voice suddenly rang out. A smile finally appeared on his cold face as he said,"Ke 'er has already said in the memorial that he will resolve this matter and that we don't have to worry about the soldiers and civilians of Yizhou. He promises that not a single citizen of Yizhou will starve to death!”
Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling's eyes lit up.
"Did His Highness the King of Shu really say that?”Fang Xuanling said," That's great. His Highness the King of Shu has a reputation for being wise. He never does things without thinking. If he says he can solve it, he will definitely solve it!"”
"That's right, I also believe in His Highness the King of Shu!”Wei Zheng added.
When Zhangsun Wuji saw this, he had no choice but to say,""I also believe in His Highness the King of Shu!"
Li Shi Min smiled when he heard the three ministers praise his son and believe him.
"Although Ke 'er did not write down a specific method in the memorial, I still believe in Ke' er!”
" Other than that…"
Li Shi Min suddenly looked at the last paragraph in Li Ke's memorial. He frowned and thought for a while before saying,"Ke 'er said in the memorial that there will be heavy rains in Shandong, Henan, Yangzhou, Huai, and the sea in the future, causing floods. He asked us to move the people and granaries ahead of time…"
"What? Did Your Highness say there was a flood?" Fang Xuanling couldn't help but be shocked. He hurriedly said,""Why would Your Highness say that?"
"Ke 'er said that he heard some experienced merchants talk about it, and he also read some related books. They say that there will be a great disaster!" Li Shiming said.”
"However, moving the people and granaries ahead of time is a major matter for the people. Moreover, it is even more difficult for the people to move, so…what do you think?”
