In the blink of an eye, the New Year has passed, and March has passed.

At this time, news came from Jiangzhou that because last year's harvest was not good, and there was no snow last year, pests were breeding in the fields, and all the newly planted seedlings were eaten by pests. Jiang

The people of the state are ready to take action, and public resentment is everywhere.

However, the relief grain distributed by the imperial court has not been received, and famine has begun in Jiangzhou area, and refugees are displaced. Not only Jiangzhou, but also the most important Guanzhong areas suffered from floods last year, and there are no crops to grow.

There was a famine for several months. Many

The people had already been rioting during the Chinese New Year, and there were several large and small uprisings during the period, but they were all suppressed by local officials, and all these incidents were stopped by Left Prime Minister Yang Guozhong until the morning of yesterday

, was reported to the right minister Li Linfu.

When such a big incident happened among the people, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was naturally furious. He slapped Yang Guozhong twice on the spot and shouted that Yang Guozhong would be removed from his post. But for some reason, he did not mention the removal from his post in the morning meeting this morning. He just said

Yang Guozhong had to be fined half a year's salary, and the punishment for Yang Guozhong was dropped.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this must be the concubine Yang Guifei who favored the harem and turned a deaf ear to Tang Xuanzong's pillow. Naturally, no one will pursue it again. However, the issue of comforting the hungry people in these places was still raised in the court.

stand up.[

Xuanzong decided to transfer part of the grain from the treasury to the Guanzhong area to meet the urgent need, and the rest would be collected by the Jiedu envoys in various places to raise funds and transport it to the disaster-stricken areas.

Li Linfu took the initiative to ask Ji Wen, the minister of central government whom he had promoted, to transport the grain from the treasury to the Guanzhong area.

This prince's intervention can reflect their royal demeanor and calm some public complaints to some extent.

Secondly, it was to build momentum for Li Heng's upcoming enthronement and establish Li Heng's wisdom. Thirdly, it was to demonstrate Tang Xuanzong's concern for the people and his sympathy for the people. Li Mi, the eunuch of the Qin Dynasty, also strongly praised Li Yu, the king of Chu.

Most of the officials in the imperial court had no objections to the move, and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty also readily agreed.

Li Linfu originally wanted to take advantage of the treasury grain and treasury money to make money for him, but he did not expect that this piece of fat meat would be robbed by the King of Chu. Naturally, he hated Li Yu deeply in his heart, not to mention that he was his nephew.

The stumbling block on the road ahead is naturally that he is deliberately thinking of ways to bring down the King of Chu.

"What, you are leaving Chang'an and going to the Guanzhong area. You are leaving tomorrow. How could this happen? Why are you going? Are there no other ministers in the court?" Back at the palace, Li Yu will escort the emperor's food and supplies tomorrow.

Ku Yin told Shen Zhenzhu and Li Qingyi about Ku Yin's trip to Guanzhong. After hearing this, Shen Zhenzhu was greatly shocked. They had only been married for a short time and they were about to separate.

"I took the initiative to ask for it." Li Yu smiled lightly and patted Shen Zhenzhu's shoulder reassuringly. His eyes became serious, "Last year there was a flood and famine in the Guanzhong area. Countless people were hungry and displaced everywhere. Yang Guozhong concealed it and refused to report it.

I heard that the current disaster is very serious. I want to go to the people to see for myself. I will leave it to the court ministers.

He is not at ease, let alone that guy Ji Wen. He is Li Linfu's man, and he is not a kind person. Once the imperial grain and treasury silver are in his hands, they will not be filtered by Li Linfu. By then, I am afraid that there will be more than 100 people in the Guanzhong area.
