"Hurry up! Pass it on quickly!"
Li Shi Min immediately waved his hand.
Soon, the scout was brought to Li Shimin by the eunuch.
The scout half-knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, the Turkic lands stretch for a thousand li and are covered in snow! And it was snowing as deep as half a person's height!”
"Countless Turkic cattle and sheep have been killed. A rough estimate is that there are at least several million of them!”
Hiss!
Li Shi Min gasped!
The Turkic incident had been perfectly verified!
What Li Ke was thinking was definitely not a wild guess!
"Report!"
Outside the palace gates, another urgent report was heard!
"Your Majesty, the Left Guard Lieutenant General has returned.”the eunuch hurriedly reported.
"Send it quickly." Li Shi Min immediately said.
Soon, Li Junxian walked in, travel-worn. He bowed his head and said,"Your Majesty, the east of the river is indeed suffering from a drought!" In the east of the river, there were droughts of varying degrees in the five prefectures and thirty-seven counties!
However, the officials at all levels had all concealed their achievements, so no one in Chang 'an City had received any news!
The drought in Hedong Road was already quite serious! Countless people were homeless!”
Boom!
Li Junxian's words exploded in Li Shiming's mind!
It was verified once again!
What Li Ke said was actually all correct!
Of course, this shocked Li Shi Min!
But at the same time, Li Shimin was also worried about the drought in Hedong Road!
"Hurry up! Quickly send Fang Xuanling, Zhangsun Wuji, Du Ruhui and others to see him. I have something to discuss." Li Shi Min quickly said to the eunuch!
"Here!" The eunuch knew that the matter was very serious and immediately ran out.
Not long after.
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the other important officials of the Imperial Court had all swarmed into the Dew Palace!
These few days, Li Shi Min had been avoiding them, which made them very unhappy!
However, they were only officials after all, so they could only express their displeasure in private!
But now, Li Shiming had summoned them, so they were ready to give him some advice!
However…
Li Shi Min didn't wait for them to speak and said,
"Cancel the war against the Turks!”
"Ah?" Li Jing and Yuchi Gong were also here. They had been preparing for this battle for a long time.
They were just waiting for this war to bring them great military achievements.
However, he didn't expect it to be canceled!
"Your Majesty, why?" Li Jing was surprised!
"The Turkic snow has covered a thousand li! Don't you know?" Li Shi Min said angrily.
These things should have been investigated by the military.
But now, Li Jing and the others had not done a good job in surveying the terrain!
Fortunately, Li Shi Min learned the truth from Li Ke, otherwise, he would be in big trouble!
Li Shi Min waved his hand and summoned the scout.
The scout explained the current situation of the northern Turks!
Li Jing and the rest were extremely shocked when they heard this!
"Hiss! There's actually heavy snow in the Turks!"
"Sigh! This is really our mistake!"
"It's a good thing we didn't rashly advance! Otherwise, they would really suffer heavy losses this time!”
"By the way, how did His Majesty know that the Turks were snowing?”
"His Majesty doesn't trust us! He actually sent his secret meeting to investigate the situation of the Turks?”
The officials in the hall were all secretly sorrowful as they discussed animatedly!
Li Shi Min ordered,
"Li Jing! Pay more attention to the situation on the Turkic side! We must wait until the weather in the north is suitable before we discuss our strategy!”
Actually, Li Shiming already had a better idea.
It was the sowing of discord that Li Ke had ridiculed!
But in front of the ministers, Li Shiming didn't want to say it yet!
"Here!"
Seeing Li Shi Min's order, Li Jing quickly nodded!
Li Shi Min then said to Yuchi Gong:
"Jing De, train more soldiers! Although this battle had been postponed, it was still a matter of time!”
Yuchi Gong immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands.”
After Li Shimin finished dealing with the Turks, he turned to Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui,"Don't you know about the drought in the east of the river?”
Hiss!
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the others all gasped!
There was a drought in Hedong Road!
They really didn't know!
However!
How could there be a drought in Hedong Road?
"Your Majesty, is this true? Is there really a drought in Hedong Road?" Fang Xuanling asked in a deep voice, his eyes filled with doubt!
"Humph!"
Li Shiming coldly snorted and ordered Li Junxian to come out!
Thus, Li Junxian recounted the situation in Hedong Road!
When the officials in the hall heard this news, their eyes widened as if they couldn't believe it!
Li Shi Min looked at the confused expressions of these ministers and was very angry.
Fortunately, he could hear Li Ke's thoughts.
Only then did he know about the drought in Hedong Road.
Otherwise, if the officials continued to hide it, the situation in Hedong Road would become even worse!
Fang Xuanling was the head of the officials. Now that such a thing had happened in Hedong Road, he naturally could not escape responsibility!
Fang Xuanling hurried forward and bowed."
"Your Majesty, this is all my fault! I am ashamed to be an official in charge of Shangshu Province! Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
Li Shi Min snorted again!
He thought in his heart,"You should be glad that nothing happened this time. Fortunately, Li Ke was here. Otherwise, all of you officials from top to bottom would have been punished!"
Li Shi Min waved his hand,
"Fortunately, it's not too late now! Fang Xuanling, immediately work with the Ministry of Revenue to transfer grain to Hedong Road! No matter what, they had to settle the disaster victims of Hedong Road!
There were millions of disaster victims in Hedong Province! We can't let anything happen to them!"
"Here!" Fang Xuanling immediately cupped his hands!
Li Shimin then turned to Zhangsun Wuji and said,"
"Zhangsun Wuji, you are in charge of the Ministry of Personnel! Immediately find all the officials in the thirty-seven counties of the five prefectures of Hedong Province who have defied the laws of the Tang Empire!”
"All officials, investigate thoroughly! During the disaster relief process, anyone who dared to take bribes and pervert the law would be killed immediately!”
"Here!"
Zhangsun Wuji knew that the Emperor was truly enraged! Therefore, he hurriedly cupped his hands in response!
Li Shimin finally felt a little better after the matter with the Turks and Hedong Road was settled!
Unfortunately, Fang Xuanling and Zhangsun Wuji didn't want Li Shiming to relax.
Du Ruhui slowly stepped forward and complained,"
"Your Majesty! I want a copy of the King of Shu!"
Can Shu King?
Li Shi Min found it ridiculous!
This time, if not for the King of Shu, the Great Tang would have been doomed!
This so-called subordinate actually wanted to report to the King of Shu!
Alright!
I want to see how you will participate in the memorial!
Li Shiming leaned back and assumed a listening posture!
