Li Shiming really didn't expect that Kong Yingda couldn't come to court for such a reason.
He was still waiting for Kong Yingda to give him the name list today and arrange for the fifteen official positions in the aristocratic families.
However, since it was like this now, it would naturally be delayed.
After all, the more variables there were, the more advantageous it would be for Li Shiming.
"Since that's the case, let's start the meeting.”
Li Shi Min said.
"Because of the King of Shu's smallflower medicine, 300,000 smallflower patients have been cured. Although the King of Shu donated another two million strings of money to rebuild their homes, the court still needs to follow up.”
Although he had money and could buy his own grain seeds, the most important thing now was that the transportation was inconvenient and the grain seeds needed by the inner pass were large.
The common people did not have a special channel to harvest grain seeds, unless the imperial court or aristocratic families helped to allocate grain seeds from other places and plant them in March.
Before and after the Qingming Festival, melons and beans were planted.
This was a rule that the ancients had concluded from countless experiences. If they delayed a year of farming and there was no harvest in autumn, people would starve to death.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The Ministry of Revenue has already begun to distribute the grain seeds. It will probably take about ten days before the grain seeds can be distributed to the people in Guanzhong.”
Zhangsun Wuji said with a smile.
He knew very well that because of Li Ke, the great merit of saving 300,000 small-flower patients did not fall on the Emperor. Now, this matter of grain seeds had to be done well.
Firstly, it was to ease the relationship between the court and the people.
Secondly…
It was also Li Shimin's attitude that he was still on the side of the commoners.
Don't underestimate such an attitude.
Li Shiming was the Emperor now. With such an attitude, he could bring hope to the people and support the Imperial Court.
The popularity of the people still had a certain effect on the authority of the emperor.
"Alright, I hope that the weather will be good this year and that the people will have a good harvest.”
Li Shi Min said with a smile, as if he loved his people like his own children.
"Your Majesty is wise."
The ministers also cooperated and praised Li Shimin.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty."
Fang Xuanling also stepped forward and said with a smile.
"Last winter wasn't too cold. It didn't even snow. This year, it's warmer even earlier.”
"The Imperial Astronomical Supervisor also found out that there is no warning of a flood this year.”
"This year, the people of Guanzhong, no, all the people of the Great Tang will have a bumper harvest!”
Li Shi Min laughed in satisfaction.
"Haha, good. I look forward to it."
"The Great Tang will definitely get better and better. We will definitely let the people of the Great Tang live a good life and be a good Emperor!”
Li Shi Min's eyes suddenly turned sharp. He didn't expect that the person he was thinking of was actually Li Ke.
The son who had schemed against him.
"Zhen doesn't believe that Zhen will lose to you.”
Li Shi Min roared in his heart. He was even more determined to make some achievements and become the emperor of the world.
At that time, he would show off in front of Li Ke and let him know that his father was the strongest person.
However, Li Ke didn't have the time to care about Li Shiming.
Early in the morning, he had already gone to the inner palace to see his mother and brother.
They hadn't seen each other for more than a year, and Li Ke had been back for a few days. He was busy fighting with Li Shiming and the people from the aristocratic families.
Now that they had finally reached the first stage, it was a good time to reunite with their families.
Other people had little to do with him. In Li Ke's heart, only his mother Consort Yang and his brother Li Yin were his family.
He ordered people to prepare some rice, exquisite snacks, and most importantly, a lot of high-end fabrics such as Shu brocade to make his mother and brother happy.
However, the moment he entered the harem, he saw Crown Prince Li Chengqian, Li Tai, Li You, and the other princes surrounding his younger brother.
"Bastard, you actually dare to stop us. What do you want?!”
The twelve-year-old Li Chengqian was a head taller than the eight-year-old Li Yin as he spoke in an overbearing manner.
"You have disrespected my Imperial Mother. Follow me back and apologize to my Imperial Mother!”
Although Li Yin was small, his eyes were fierce and firm. He did not cower in the face of Li Chengqian and the others. He said stubbornly.
"Haha, I'm the Crown Prince, do I need to apologize to him?”
Li Chengqian sneered and looked at Li Yin with disdain.
"Besides, did I say anything wrong?"
"Your Imperial Mother is a remnant of the previous dynasty, and you and Li Ke are the vile spawn left behind by the previous dynasty.”
"You don't deserve the surname Li."
"Especially your brother Li Ke. He even dared to oppose Imperial Father and make him look bad.”
"Today, not only am I disrespectful to your Imperial Mother, but we are also going to beat you up, a remnant of the previous dynasty!”
Li Tai, Li You, and the rest of the young princes all laughed and looked at Li Yin mockingly.
"The remnants of the previous dynasty, vile spawn. You and your brother are vile spawn!”
"Your brother Li Ke is not from our Li family at all. He went against Imperial Father. He is not worthy of the surname Li!”
"Your Imperial Mother is also a slut. The three of you deserve to die!”
When Li Yin heard the other party insulting his mother and Li Ke, his face instantly turned red and his anger exploded.
"I won't allow you to talk about my mother and brother. I'll fight it out with you!”
Li Yin shouted angrily and pounced towards Li Chengqian.
"You remnant of the previous dynasty, you actually dare to make a move!"
Li Chengqian was a few years older than Li Yin, and his body was well developed. He grabbed Li Yin and controlled him.
However, Li Yin attacking him had already angered Li Chengqian.
"Beat him up! Kill this remnant of the previous dynasty!”
With Li Chengqian's order, Li Tai and the others planned to beat Li Yin up.
However, before they could do anything, they heard a bang.
Everyone was shocked to find that the rockery not far away from them had stone chips flying in the air. It was still smoking and emitting an irritating smell.
"Li Ke!"
Li Chengqian was the first to notice Li Ke and exclaimed.
"Brother!"
Li Yin also saw Li Ke and shouted excitedly. He struggled to escape and ran over, hugging Li Ke and crying.
Looking at him, Li Ke could feel the grievances he had suffered in the past year.
"A bunch of little brats, how dare you bully my little brother.”
Li Ke raised the flintlock he carried with him. The muzzle was still smoking as he walked up.
"Bang!"
Li Ke fired another shot at the fake mountain. Stone chips flew everywhere, causing Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and the others to be terrified.
"Li Ke, what are you doing!"
Li Tai asked fiercely.
"Pa!"
Li Ke immediately slapped him, causing Li Tai's fat face to swell up again. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he cried out loud.
"Slap you!"
After Li Ke finished fighting, he looked at Li You and the others and sneered.
"Stand there and don't move. Otherwise, I'll shoot you all one by one!”
Li You and the others had witnessed the power of the flintlock spear, so they didn't dare to resist. Li Ke whipped them one by one, making them follow Li Tai and cry.
"You, what do you want to do? I'm the Crown Prince, you can't hit me.”
Li Chengqian saw Li Ke rushing towards him and immediately threatened, but in return, Li Ke smiled disdainfully.
" Crown Prince?!"
Li Ke smacked his mouth, directly hitting Li Chengqian until he fell to the ground and spat out blood, even bringing out two teeth.
"I am the one who hit the Crown Prince!"
