Zhangsun Wuji usually looked like the Maitreya Buddha, smiling at everyone. That was why people called him old fox. However, when these words came out of his mouth, everyone still felt a chill.
Zhangsun Wuji could be said to have witnessed Li Shiming's path to the throne.
He wanted to help Li Shiming say some things that were not suitable for Li Shiming to say in the Imperial Court, such as that he needed to take responsibility for Li Shiming's large-scale massacre.
As soon as Zhangsun Wuji spoke, the atmosphere in the court instantly became subtle.
Although there were very few high-ranking officials among the five surnames and seven Wangs, there were many low-ranking officials. They knew very well that Zhangsun Wuji was going to kill someone.
Then the ones who died the most were the five surnames and seven Wangs.
Who could guarantee that Li Shi Min wouldn't use this opportunity to attack them?
After Zhangsun Wuji finished speaking, an official from the Ministry of Rites immediately walked out. This person was Cui Renli, a member of the Cui family and also Cui Qingfeng's uncle. After bowing, he said,"Zhangsun Wuhou, you are wrong."
"Now that the number of refugees has increased dramatically, the officials in various places are all waiting. If we start a massacre at this time, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary consequences.”
After Cui Renli finished speaking, the other families of the Five Families and Seven Wangs also began to offer their advice.
The imperial court was originally silent, but because of Zhangsun Wuji's words, the crowd instantly became furious.
In an instant.
It actually formed a situation of confrontation.
Cheng Yaojin also walked out and looked at everyone coldly. His voice sounded,"You didn't say anything just now, and now you're wasting time here.”
"The money for the disaster relief must have been kept by someone. Otherwise, the disaster victims would have settled down long ago. Now, it's just killing a few people.”
"Your Majesty, it just so happens that I've been bored these days. I'll personally lead the troops to see what's going on.”
When Cheng Yaojin spoke, Cui Renli and the others looked at each other.
It wasn't that they had nothing to say, but that they knew how to reason with Cheng Yaojin.
Perhaps on the way home, he would be beaten up by this Duke. At that time, he would have no place to complain.
The atmosphere in the court eased up because of Cheng Yaojin's words. Xiao Rui sat behind the screen and witnessed all of this. Who said that Cheng Yaojin was a boorish man?
If he was really a boor, could he have survived until now with just those three axes? He could even become a Duke?
Xiao Rui looked at Li Shiming, his subordinates still recording the events in the court.
Li Shi Min coughed lightly, and the court instantly quieted down. He then said,"Zhen needs to think about today's matter. However, you must give Zhen an answer tomorrow regarding the imperial envoy.“
"Dear ministers, do you still have anything to report?”
Li Shi Min stood up.
None of the officials were looking for trouble at this time. They all fell silent. Li Shiming turned around and walked towards the side hall. Xiao Rui also tidied up and left with Li Shiming.
Xiao Yu, Fang Xuanling, and the others were about to leave when Eunuch Li jogged over and called them to the royal study for a meeting.
Li Shimin was holding the memorial that Xiao Yu had presented to him. He was obviously frustrated.
When he was still the King of Qin, he could do whatever he wanted. But now, he had to balance all parties. If he was not careful, he would lose the whole game. He could not afford to lose now.
Xiao Rui looked at Li Shiming's back, holding a small notebook in his hand, his heart full of thoughts.
He wanted to tell Li Shiming that the disaster victims were not the biggest problem now, but the bodies that had starved to death. It was almost summer, and in this dynasty, even a cold could kill.
If these corpses were not dealt with in time.
If a plague broke out, it would be the greatest disaster.
Xiao Rui followed Li Shiming into the royal study. Fang Xuanling and the others hadn't arrived yet. Li Shiming sat in front of the desk and said to Xiao Rui,"Xiao Rui, what do you think is the crux of today's matter?”
Xiao Rui was stunned. He didn't expect Li Shiming to ask him this question. He was still thinking that if he were to scold Li Shiming at this time, Li Shiming would explode on the spot.
He immediately calmed himself down and said,"Your Majesty, in my opinion, the disaster victims have lost their homes. Now that they have no food to eat and no houses to live in, Your Majesty's funding alone is definitely not enough.”
"The key lies in the post-disaster reconstruction work to give hope to the victims.”
Xiao Rui casually said, but Li Shiming sat there and pondered, muttering," Post-disaster reconstruction? Hope?"
"In that case, your point of view is novel. Do you have any good ideas?”
"I don't have a good plan, but it can solve the problem in Your Majesty's heart." Xiao Rui narrowed his eyes and said.”
Li Shimin was waiting for Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui to ask Xiao Rui.
However, he did not expect this.
Xiao Rui actually said that he could solve the worry in his heart?
Li Shiming looked at Xiao Rui meaningfully. He was thinking that Xiao Rui was only eight years old. Did he really know what was bothering him?
He was not worried about those lives!
It was his throne.
Li Shimin looked at Xiao Rui and said,"If you can solve the problem of the disaster victims, I will reward you heavily."”
Xiao Rui smiled and walked forward. He raised his brush and wrote six words on the paper."One jin of grain, three jin of chaff!"
