"Oh right, Fangxian Man, what do you think of this year's disaster?”Li Chunfeng asked again.
After all, it concerned the fate of the Great Tang and the lives of its people.
Li Chunfeng wanted to know if Fang Yi 'ai had his own opinion on this matter.
Yuan Tiangang also looked at Fang Yi 'ai expectantly.
Fang Yi 'ai thought for a moment and said: "
"There will be a famine this year. The main reason is to store up grain and place most of it in the hands of the Imperial Court.”
"In this way, we can prevent the price of grain from soaring. Otherwise, it was very likely that the Great Tang would be in turmoil.”
"After all, the reason why there is unrest every year is because of the lack of food in the Imperial Court and the rising price of rice in various places.”
After Fang Yi 'ai finished speaking, her eyes turned slightly.
When Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng heard this, they were slightly shocked.
He had no objections to Fang Yi 'ai's opinion.
At this moment.
Chang 'an Fortress was in chaos.
For some reason, the news of the disaster being discussed in the palace had spread.
Before the commoners could react to what had happened, the nobles had already begun to frantically store up food.
Because of the rich and powerful people hoarding grain, the price of grain increased crazily. In an instant, it increased by dozens of times compared to normal.
By the time the commoners reacted, the grain price had already risen to a price that ordinary commoners could not accept!
Looking at the sky-high grain prices, the commoners became even more anxious.
The entire Great Tang was instantly thrown into chaos!
Soon, this matter reached Li Shi Min's ears.
Li Shi Min was furious and immediately summoned all the officials.
Everyone in Taiji Palace was trembling with fear as they looked at Li Shiming.
They had heard about what had happened in Chang 'an these days, and many of them had participated in the grain storage operation.
"You're all here. You must have heard about what happened in Chang 'an this morning, right? These people simply had no respect for the law and caused unrest.”
"Dali City's Shaoqing, I order you to capture all those involved in this matter and execute them!”
Li Shi Min was so furious that he was on the verge of exploding. He looked like he wanted to eat these people alive!
When the courtiers below heard this, their faces turned pale with fright. They quickly said,
"Your Majesty! No!"
"Your Majesty, these people are all dignitaries of the imperial court. Once they are killed, it will definitely cause even greater turmoil!”
"I agree. These nobles are now frantically hoarding grain, causing the price of grain to skyrocket. This has indeed caused turmoil in the imperial court.”
"But if we kill him, won't there be no silver here? It also confirmed that there would really be a famine. At that time, everyone would be even more anxious!”
"Yes, Your Majesty, you must think twice before you act!”
The officials all spoke.
Many of them were drenched in cold sweat, and their hearts were in a state of panic.
Once Li Shi Min gave the order, they would lose their lives!
When Li Shi Min heard this, he felt even more aggrieved.
After all-
What these ministers said made sense.
If he really killed these nobles, not only would he not be able to calm down this turmoil, but it might also cause an even greater turmoil.
But what could he do now?
Li Shi Min's mind was in a mess, and he had no idea what to do. He stood on the platform and paced back and forth.
At this moment.
Zhangsun Wuji stood up and looked at Li Shiming as he carefully suggested,"
"Your Majesty, this matter was ultimately caused by Li Chunfeng's words that there would be a great disaster this year.”
"This subject suggests that we kill Li Chunfeng to tell everyone that there won't be a great disaster this year. This is all Li Chunfeng's nonsense.”
"This is the only way to quell this turmoil!”
As soon as Zhangsun Wuji finished speaking, another official stood out and agreed.
Soon, one-third of the officials in the Imperial Court agreed to kill Li Chunfeng.
It would solve the problem at the root.
Little did they know that there were many people who had participated in this grain storage, including Zhangsun Wuji.
In order to prevent Li Shi Min from getting angry, these people could only use Li Chun Feng as a shield.
When Li Shi Min heard this, he immediately rejected it without thinking,"No! Li Chunfeng is a famous Daoist priest of the Great Tang. He knows astronomy and geography, and has helped me solve many problems.”
"Moreover, this time, it's not his fault, but those nobles. If I kill Li Chunfeng and a great disaster really happens later, won't I be a fatuous ruler?”
Li Shi Min waved his hand and refused.
Don't even think about this matter!
"But Your Majesty, if we don't do this, it will only lead to greater unrest!”Zhangsun Wuji spoke again, and the ministers all agreed.
However, Li Shi Min still insisted on his own opinion and refused to kill Li Chun Feng.
The situation had reached a stalemate.
Suddenly.
"Your Majesty, the abbot of Ximing Monastery requests an audience!" Wang Delai reported.”
When Li Shi Min heard this, he frowned. What was the abbot of Xi Ming Temple doing here?”
"Xuan." Li Shi Min waved his hand.
In the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism was still a religion.
Soon, a bald monk with a white beard walked in.
As soon as he saw Li Shi Min, he immediately bowed and said,""Greetings, Your Majesty."
"No need for formalities, Master. Why have you come?”Li Shi Min asked.
" Your Majesty," the abbot said immediately," there are demons and devils in Chang 'an. I came here to subdue them."”
Li Shi Min was shocked when he heard this.
The ministers 'expressions changed slightly as they discussed.
"What is it? Demons? Don't tell me you're referring to Li Chunfeng?"
"It might be him. After all, other than him, what other demon could there be?”
When the host heard the discussions of the officials, he was even happier.
That's right, the so-called demon this time was Daoist Li Chunfeng.
When Buddhism was introduced into the Great Tang, Daoism had already appeared.
However, as the abbot of Ximing Temple, he naturally hoped that Buddhism could be reigned supreme.
However, they had no chance to suppress Taoism.
Now that such an opportunity had presented itself, the host naturally wouldn't let it go.
