Chang 'an, Taiji Palace.
When Li Shimin learned that there was a flood in Changqing County, he gathered all the civil and military officials.
"Who was the one who said that the weather in Shandong was stable and that there would be no floods?”
Li Shi Min looked at the officials and asked coldly.
Seeing him look over, all the officials lowered their heads.
Li Shimin looked at Li Chunfeng and said," Li Qing's family, there was a huge flood in Changqing County, Shandong Province. Tens of thousands of people were displaced and thousands of people died. Don't you have anything to say?"”
Li Chunfeng hurriedly walked out and knelt on the ground.
"I know my crime. I made a mistake in my calculation.”
"What's the use of punishing you?" Li Shi Min said angrily."The tragedy has already happened. What I want is a way to save it."”
"Your Majesty, the most important thing now is to find a way to settle down the homeless people. Otherwise, once they escape to other places, it might cause a riot."”
"Now you know the seriousness of the problem. What were you doing ten days ago?"”
Zhangsun Wuji's face flushed red when he heard this, but he could not refute.
Ten days ago, he had vowed that there would be no floods in Shandong.
However, ten days later, a huge flood broke out.
At this moment, Tang Jian walked out and said,"Your Majesty, I have something that I don't know if I should say."”
"If you have anything to say, just say it."”
" Qinghe County Magistrate Lin Han wrote a complaint against His Majesty again," Tang Jian said fearfully." He said that you listened to calumny and didn't listen to his advice. He also said that you were a fatuous ruler."”
"What? He has such a big deal. He actually dares to call Your Majesty a fatuous ruler.”
"Your Majesty, this Qinghe County Magistrate is really bold. He actually dared to call you a fatuous ruler. In my opinion, it's better to behead him.”
"That's right. This person doesn't put Your Majesty in his eyes at all and should be severely punished.”
At this moment, Wei Zheng walked out.
"I believe that his complaint was not wrong. When Magistrate Lin submitted the memorial, no one acknowledged his prediction. Even His Majesty turned a blind eye to it.”
"Now that a tragedy has occurred, His Majesty has an unavoidable responsibility.”
"Wei Zheng, how dare you say that His Majesty is responsible.”
"Hmph, I think you're in cahoots with him.”
As soon as Wei Zheng said this, he was immediately surrounded by the ministers.
Pa!
Li Shi Min slapped the table and said angrily,"Have you guys had enough?"
Seeing Li Shi Min's rage, the officials were so scared that they didn't even dare to breathe.
"If you didn't say that there wouldn't be a flood in Shandong, would I have turned a blind eye?”
"Now that such a huge tragedy has happened, I have an unavoidable responsibility. I regret not listening to Lin Han.”
Wei Zheng said," Your Majesty, now is not the time to pursue responsibility. We should think of a way to remedy the situation."”
"Minister Wei, do you have a way to remedy this?" Li Shimin asked.”
Wei Zheng was speechless. After pondering for a moment, he said,"Your Majesty, why don't we use the same trick as last time and borrow food from the people?”
Zhangsun Wuji snorted coldly." Lord Wei, what kind of idea is this? You haven't even returned the grain you borrowed from the people last time. Now, you're going to borrow grain again. Isn't that breaking your promise to the people?"”
"Then what do you think we should do?" Wei Zheng asked.
"You ask me, who should I ask?" Zhangsun Wuji asked.”
At this moment, Li Shimin looked at Tang Jian because he realized that Tang Jian wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Minister Tang, do you have something to say?”
"Your Majesty, since we can't find a way to remedy the situation, why don't we look for Lin Han?" Tang Jian cupped his hands and said.”
"Since he can predict that there will be a major flood in Shandong, he might know a way to remedy it.”
Li Shi Min was stunned for a moment before shaking his head and laughing at himself.
"He sued Zhen twice in a row. If Zhen sent someone to find him to think of a way, he would definitely scold Zhen for not listening to him.”
"This…"
Tang Jian didn't know what to do.
"Alright, I know what to do. Retreat."”
After the officials left, Li Shimin smiled.
He didn't dare to send people to find Lin Han.
However, he could ask Lin Han in secret. After all, Lin Han did not know his true identity.
