As his thoughts raced, Zhangsun Wuji's head began to sweat.
could it
Did the Emperor want to use this as an opportunity to start a war with the aristocratic families?
"Your Majesty, I have never heard of such a thing.”
After a moment of silence, he reluctantly replied.
"Oh? Haven't you heard?" Li Shi Min nodded playfully," Then quickly investigate and see if this is true."”
"You have a good relationship with the aristocratic families in Guanzhong, so I'll give you this mission.”
"I want to see your answer before tomorrow night. Is there a problem?”
"This subject obeys the decree!"
Zhangsun Wuji bitterly agreed.
This mission was not a good one.
Between the Guanzhong aristocratic families and the emperor, one had to be offended.
However, given the current situation, he couldn't refuse.
The conflict between the aristocratic families and the royal family had been going on for a long time.
He was really worried that this was just the Emperor's initial probe.
if he really
Zhangsun Wuji's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts, and he was sweating profusely!
Taiji Palace fell into silence.
After a while, Li Shiming continued,
"Keming, after the matter is investigated, there is still a large amount of grain stored in Guanzhong.”
"Do you think my plan is feasible?”
Du Ruhui took a step forward," Jie Li has always been cunning. I think we should send people to the grasslands to check before making a decision.”
"If this matter is true, I am willing to become a pawn in the northern expedition!!”
"Haha, good!"
Second Emperor Li was overjoyed!
"Then we'll just wait for the good news from the north!”
......
Seven days later, in Chang 'an.
A knight with a haggard face was galloping on Vermilion Bird Avenue.
"Get out of the way, urgent report from the border!"
"Emergency report from the border!"
The horse queen left behind a cloud of dust as she galloped in the direction of Taiji Palace!
At this moment, in the main hall, the morning court session was only halfway through!
The civil and military officials were still arguing about the matter of the self-reproaching edict.
Wei Zheng's expression was very ugly. Clearly, he was already extremely angry!
"It has been seven days. The heavy snow has not stopped, and the people are panicking.”
"Why hasn't Your Majesty issued that edict to calm the hearts of the people?”
The other ministers also agreed.
"That's right, Your Majesty. This matter can't be delayed any longer!”
"Your Majesty, please issue an edict!"
......
At this moment,
"Report! Urgent message from the border, urgent!"
After hearing this, Li Shiming straightened his back and shouted," Send it immediately!”
Then, the disheveled knight was brought into the hall.
"Your Majesty, the information has been investigated.”
"The Eastern Turks have been snowing for an entire month, freezing countless shepherds and cows to death!”
"Jie Li Khagan is currently gathering his troops and planning to pillage the south!”
Whoosh!
After he finished speaking, Taiji Palace was in an uproar!
The argument just now instantly stopped.
The ministers were a little worried when they heard this news.
But now, apart from dealing with the snow disaster, he also had to deal with the Turks.
The pressure increased a little!
"Your Majesty, give me ten thousand soldiers."
"This subject guarantees that the Turks will not take a single step into Guanzhong!”
The one who spoke was the Great Tang War God, Li Jing!
After he spoke, the other generals, such as Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji, and Su Dingfang, also spoke.
Li Shi Min slowly stood up from the throne and raised his hand.
The hall instantly fell silent.
"I will give you 100,000 soldiers and 30,000 warhorses!”
Weng!
Everyone wondered if they had heard wrongly. 100,000 people?
" Your Majesty, you don't need that much. 10,000," Li Jing continued, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Li Shiming.
"Take down the Eastern Turks and capture Jie Li alive, can you do it?”
Boom!
Taiji Palace exploded instantly!
All the ministers panicked when they heard this!
At this juncture, to make such a big fuss, wasn't he asking for trouble?
"Zhen knows what you are worried about.”Li Shi Min continued," It's nothing more than food.”
"I can tell you now that we have food!”
"Not only is it enough for the army to travel, but it is also enough for the people of Guanzhong to survive this disaster!”
At this moment, the ministers in Taiji Palace were no longer dumbstruck!
It was like sleepwalking!
In the past few days, everyone had been quarreling endlessly in court.
However, His Majesty had been silent and absent-minded.
Who would have thought that he was holding back a big move!
However, this big move was a little too big. Everyone could not accept it for a moment!
Li Er didn't give them time to think and continued,
"Pass on my order. Within the Guanzhong region, every state, county, village, and main street will have merit tablets.”
"Open the donation, we only accept food and horses!”
"Inform all the great clans in Guanzhong."
"The Merit Obelisk, unless we encounter the next major disaster.”
"Otherwise, I won't change it for twenty years!"
......
After His Majesty finished speaking, everyone was dumbfounded!
So this was His Majesty's plan?
High, really high!
Once this stone tablet appeared, the various aristocratic families would definitely bleed heavily!
If they donated too little, they would be despised by the people.
At the same time, it was three points lower than the other aristocratic families!
Not for anything else, just the first position on the Merit Obelisk was enough for them to fight over it!
Not only did he have to spit out all the food he had collected over the past few days.
He might even have to use his own family background to subsidize a lot!
The officials elected by the Guanzhong aristocratic families all shivered!
Too ruthless!
Kneel at the ticket price!
There was nothing today.
