"How did things end up like this? Wasn't everything fine a few days ago?
Xuancheng, you promised me before that you must give me an explanation!”
In Xian De Hall, Li Shi Min, who had received the news, was furious.
As an emperor who was determined to be a wise ruler.
Such a thing could actually happen at the foot of the Imperial City. Wouldn't that make the world laugh at it?
Wei Zheng was actually also confused.
He didn't understand why the refugees would suddenly cause trouble.
However, when he heard Li Shiming mention his promise, he had no choice but to answer.
"Your Majesty, I don't know why those unruly people want to cause trouble.
I didn't hide anything when I reported earlier. It was indeed a peaceful scene.
Only a few refugees who committed the crime of theft were severely punished by the county magistrate.
But in my opinion, this is not the reason for the unrest among the refugees…"
Hearing Wei Zheng's words, Li Shimin was also dumbfounded.
He believed that Wei Zheng would not lie about this matter.
Besides, Li Shiming didn't think it was a big deal to deal with a few thieves.
"Alright, since this matter has already happened, let the Five Cities Military Department send troops to suppress the refugees who are causing trouble.
Then, he would immediately gather all the officials to discuss how to resolve this matter.
If he couldn't find the crux of the problem and suppress it this time, it wouldn't be long before this happened again!”
Li Shi Min calmed his anger and made the wisest decision in the current situation.
Although there were tens of thousands of refugees outside the city, they were no hindrance to the regular army.
As long as the Imperial Court made a decision, this mob would not be able to cause any trouble.
The most important thing at the moment was to find the final cause of the refugees 'riot.
Soon, the officials who were urgently summoned rushed to Xian De Hall.
And the officials who had already heard the news.
Seeing Li Shi Min's expression, they lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak.
It was Wei Zheng who braced himself and told him what happened today in detail.
Then, the ministers began to discuss.
However, it was obvious that everyone knew the seriousness of this incident. No one dared to stand out.
"Wuji, what do you think about this refugee riot?”
After waiting for a long time in front of the crowd, Li Er had no choice but to call out the names.
"Your Majesty, the imperial court has treated the refugees with such kindness.
They actually had riots. I thought that there must be evil people causing trouble.
Your Majesty, please capture the leader and interrogate him to see if there are any Jiancheng remnants who led this matter to happen…"
As a schemer, Zhangsun Wuji had a different perspective.
But Li Shi Min shook his head and said,"
"The people I sent out have already caught the first few refugees who caused trouble, but it's not what you think, Wuji.
The reason why the refugees are rioting is actually all spontaneous. This is also where I find it strange.”
"Your Majesty, is there anything strange?"
Minister Zuo Pushe Fang Xuanling asked.
"I heard that the refugees are causing trouble because they want to come to the city to work and earn money." Li Shiming's expression was strange.”
All the officials were dumbfounded.
What kind of reason was that?
Could it be that this group of refugees dared to do something like crashing into the city gate just to enter the city to work?
"Cough cough, let's not talk about this for now. The key is how to solve the problem of the refugees.
Dear ministers, do you have any good countermeasures? You can speak freely today."
Li Shi Min stopped everyone from discussing and asked.
"Your Majesty, since the refugees want to work in the city, can we just let them in…"
Fang Xuanling suggested again.
"You mustn't!"
Before he could finish, several officials stopped him.
Du Ruhui stepped forward and cupped his hands."
"Your Majesty, if it's just a few hundred or a few thousand refugees, it's not impossible to let them enter the city.
However, there were tens of thousands of refugees stranded outside the city this time. If they were allowed into the city, it would be even more troublesome.
In my opinion, it would be better to be ruthless and send all the refugees back to their places of origin.
Although it was painful, it was a solution to the problem!”
Li Shi Min pondered for a moment and said,"
"This method is inappropriate. If I had sent people to send the refugees back from the beginning, that would have been fine.
However, it had been some time since they had distributed the food and porridge. If they were to use this plan again, they were afraid that it would cause even greater trouble!”
Hearing this, all the officials were speechless.
He couldn't let them into the city, nor could he send them back to their hometown. What should he do?
Kong Yingda, who was at the side, shook his head and said,""Your Majesty, in my opinion, these refugees are still lacking in education.
If they could understand the words of the saints and understand the essence of the saints, how could such a thing happen without a king or father?”
Hearing this, Li Er's face darkened.
If it wasn't for the urgency of the matter, he would have pointed at Kong Yingda's nose and scolded her.
I'm talking to you about practical problems, but you're talking to me about great principles?
According to what you mean, what happened today is all my fault?
Did I not educate the people properly? Did I not let the people understand the words of the Saint and understand the essence of the Saint?
How preposterous!
After sulking for a while, Second Emperor Li suddenly thought of a person. Du He.
If it wasn't for what happened today, he would have almost forgotten about it.
At that time, that rascal even made a bet with Wei Zheng about the refugees.
"Could it be that the kid really knows something?”
At the thought of this, Second Emperor Li was driven by curiosity and ordered,"
"Men, summon that brat Du He into the palace!”
Wei Zheng's expression turned extremely ugly when he heard Second Emperor Li's sudden words.
At this moment, he also remembered the bet he had with Du He that day.
Originally, he thought that he would be able to make a contribution by managing the refugees this time.
However, he never expected that the outcome of the matter would be as that kid said. Something went wrong halfway!
At this moment, Wei Zheng's lips trembled, but in the end, he did not say anything to stop her.
On the other hand, Du Ruhui said with a surprised expression,""Your Majesty, my son is still young, I'm afraid…"
"Keming, you might not know this, but when I first found out about the refugees, it was Du He.
Moreover, from the expression of that brat, I reckon that he has some countermeasures for the refugees.
Since the beloved ministers did not have any good ideas this time, it was not impossible to let Du He speak!”
Li Shi Min said seriously.
Uh…Why didn't I know about this?
Old Du was dumbfounded.
However, on second thought, he quickly became happy.
He thought to himself, So my son actually has such ability. This old man is very relieved in his heart.
As for the other ministers, they continued to be dumbfounded!
