Open the mountain!
With Li Shi Min's order, the Golden Guards moved.
Empress Zhangsun, Li Shimin, and the others had all left the mountain.
After all, if they wanted to open the mountain, this place would not be so safe anymore.
In the pavilion by the lake at the foot of the mountain.
Everyone sat there.
Fang Xuanling sighed.
"Who would have thought that there would be such a treasure mountain in the Prince Wei's estate!”
"This time, the heavens truly are helping our Great Tang. Your Majesty, the heavens are on our side!”
Fang Xuanling excitedly picked up a piece of stone and tossed it into the lake.
"Yes, I am!"
"It's really unbelievable."
Zhangsun Wuji nodded in agreement. He turned to look at the orderly Golden Guards under Li Junxian's command, feeling as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden.
"I wonder if there are any other treasures in the Wei Estate.”
"The King of Wei secretly hid it…This is his private stash of money, haha…It's really amazing!”
Du Ruhui joked.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Li Shiming's eyes turned.
The speaker was not serious, but the listener was serious.
A string in his heart was plucked.
This brat, he's always appearing and disappearing like a ghost. He doesn't even go to Hongwen Hall anymore. I wonder what he's doing.
Perhaps, there really was!
Li Shimin turned his head and looked around.
"Then this time, I really have to take a good look around.”
"This Prince Wei's mansion feels a little different.”
"I felt a little different from the moment I came in. Not to mention anything else, the entire courtyard felt like a maze, as if it was guarding against something.”
Li Shi Min rubbed his hands together in high spirits.
It was as if he was treating the Wei Manor as a blind box.
The old butler was playing with the little rhinoceros. When he heard Li Shiming's words, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Your Majesty, you've already taken the Young Master's private savings, what else do you want?”
"If word gets out, I wonder if there's still room for His Majesty's face?”
"You're not ashamed of snatching something small.”
Li Shimin
rubbed his nose resentfully.
However, he could not help but seriously size up the old Taoist priest who was playing very well with the little rhinoceros in front of him.
Was this the butler of Tai 'er's residence?
Old and decrepit.
He was in high spirits.
This was Li Shi Min's first evaluation.
Extraordinary!
It was definitely extraordinary!
This old butler was definitely different from ordinary people. Otherwise, he would never speak to him with such an attitude.
Hearing this, there was a hint of disdain in his words.
If he was an ordinary old man, would he dare to say that about him?
"Cough cough!"
"Old butler, you're treating me as an outsider.”
"Your Majesty, you are the father of the King of Wei. What is there to be polite about when your own father is visiting your son's house?”
Fang Xuanling chuckled. His curiosity had been piqued by the Prince Wei's Mansion, and he wanted to take a look around. Naturally, he had to speak up for Li Shiming.
"Besides, it's only right for a son to raise his father!”
"When I was young, I raised my son. When I'm old, my son will raise my father. This has been the truth since ancient times!”
"Look at the King of Wei. He's already…ahem…uhm…" Fang
Xuanling felt a little embarrassed.
Tsk!
Fang Xuanling was so excited that he forgot the age of the King of Wei. However, at this point, Fang Xuanling steeled himself and continued,"The King of Wei is already twelve years old. It's time for him to take up the responsibility of supporting his family.”
"Heavenly Cycle!"
"It should be like this!"
Fang Xuanling said sternly.
He was already twelve years old
…It was time for him to take up the responsibility of supporting his family…
Li Shimin didn't even look at Fang Xuanling anymore. This old thing was too cheap.
How could he say such a thing?
Embarrassed!
Twelve years old…I have to rely on a twelve-year-old boy now.
Also, why was he scolding her as well?
Am I that bad?
Now, he had to rely on Tai 'er for help.
The corners of Empress Zhangsun's mouth also twitched, but she forced herself not to laugh.
Zhangsun Wuji and Du Ruhui stared at the serious Fang Xuanling and gave him a thumbs up.
Great Tang's number one slut!
I can't compete, I can't compete!
When the old butler heard Fang Xuanling say such words, what else could he say?
With a light snort, he directly went to play with the little rhinoceros.
"Your Majesty, please?"
Fang Xuanling hurriedly stood up and said.
Li Shiming was really at a loss whether to stand or sit.
He turned his head to look at the mountain. The Golden Guards were still busy and couldn't open the passage to get food for a while. He coughed dryly and stood up.
"Then…just take a look?”
At
this moment!
Just as Li Shimin ordered the mountain to be opened, a large number of people had gathered outside the Mingde Gate of Chang 'an City.
They were all commoners at the lowest level.
His ability to resist risks was very weak.
For three years in a row, there had been disasters every year. It was now July, and the autumn harvest was about to arrive. Who could bear another wave of locusts?
The commoners collapsed.
He could only come to Chang 'an. He might be able to survive here, but if he stayed in his hometown, he would starve to death.
In fact, this was the portrait of almost all the people of the Great Tang.
In this era, the ability to resist natural risks was too weak, not to mention that three consecutive years were disastrous.
It was already not easy for the commoners to hold on until now!
"Damn locusts. It's almost the autumn harvest, but they just have to come. They're really forcing us to the road of death.”
"Exactly. The leaves in our village are almost eaten up, and even the bark has been gnawed off. We have no choice. We really have no choice. I wonder if there is any food in Chang 'an."”
"Chang 'an is the capital. It should be able to fill my stomach. I haven't eaten for three days.”
The people who were escaping the disaster chatted randomly.
All of them were travel-worn, all of them were sallow and emaciated, and all of them had no light in their eyes.
"Humph! You guys are thinking too much."
At this moment, one of them turned around and glanced at the group of people.
"I've been here for four days, and I haven't seen a grain of rice.”
"The Imperial Court doesn't have any food either. In the past three years, the Imperial Court has been like us, holding on.”
As soon as these words were said, it immediately caused a wave.
"This time, we will probably starve to death in Chang 'an Fortress.”
"What is it? There's no food in Chang 'an?"
"There's food in Chang 'an? No, I heard that His Majesty is about to be forced to death.”
"Then what should we do?"
"Who knows? Who can save us? I ate dirt all the way here. I can't eat dirt again in Chang 'an. If that's the case, I'm here to work with the hammer.”
"Sigh…he's right. The imperial court might really be out of ideas this time.”
"Let me tell you, not only Chang 'an, but the entire Guannei Road, Hedong Road, Henan Road, and Shannan Road have no food. The imperial court has not replenished the food for the disaster relief two years ago. Ah
? Gradually
, the emotions of the disaster victims in Chang 'an City began to stir.
Despair slowly spread.
