Chapter 9 Li Shimin has never been so confident as he is today

"That's right, I fled from Shandong and ate everything along the way. I thought I would be able to fill my stomach when I arrived in Chang'an, but in the end I didn't have a grain of rice! It's okay if there is no food in Chang'an, but I saw it with my own eyes.

Those grain merchants have a lot of grain in their hands, why don't they give it to us? It's not that the emperor thinks we are useless and wants to starve us to death.!!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo,... I..., I that, I that, I ate everything on the road to escape the famine. My parents even starved to death on the road just to keep me fed. We + we just want to live. What's wrong with us victims of the disaster!!"
"Why, why don't those grain merchants provide grain? Is it because we are victims of the disaster that we are not human beings? We need justice, we need the truth!!"

"Yes, justice! Justice!!"

"Justice! The truth!!"

"Justice! The truth!!"

"Justice! The truth!!"

The victims were excited.

The sounds were discordant at the beginning, gradually became consistent, and finally came together.

It formed an unstoppable sound, deafening and filled with endless anger.

At a nearby restaurant.

Window seat on the second floor.

With a "click" sound, a handsome young man put away his paper fan, feeling high-spirited.

"The momentum has been established, Li Shimin, how are you going to deal with it?!"

The slave next to him immediately stepped forward and said with a flattering smile, "Sir, the food is all in the hands of the noble family. If Li Shimin wants to solve the problem, he can only ask the family master for food."

"And the head of the family will definitely make Li Shimin agree to the appointment. By then, you will be the new fifth-rank official, Taichang Ling!!"

"At the age of eighteen, you can become a fifth-rank official. This is unheard of in past dynasties. Your future, sir, will be limitless, and you will even be recorded by historians!!"

When the young man heard this, he felt proud and proud.

Close your eyes and feel carefully.

It seems that I have been in the beautiful fantasy that I am already a fifth-grade official.

This scene,

Appears in various places.

All the children of aristocratic families who appeared on the book were there to watch the development of the situation.

In their discussions with their servants, they all said that Li Shimin had no respect for the crown prince of a country.

As you can imagine,

If these people are allowed to take office, will the Li family be the king of the Tang Dynasty?!

…………

The main residence of the Lu family.

"It's strange. According to the intelligence just returned, the resentment of the victims has reached its peak. Why hasn't Li Shimin come to us to get food?!"

The head of the Li family in Longxi was a little surprised.

Could it be that Li Shimin has food?!

This is impossible!!

Eighty percent of Chang'an City's food supply is controlled by aristocratic families, and the remaining 20% ​​has been consumed long ago. The national treasury is definitely empty.

There is no food inside.

They also have people monitoring them from the outside. Except for Hangzhou, which sent half a month's worth of food for 5,000 people, and it is still on the way, there is no contact with other cities.

Why could Li Shimin still sit still when it was clearly a dead end?!

"Haha, with the arrogant and arrogant temper of Mr. Li Jiaerang, maybe he will break the pot, or... even if he is drowned in the saliva of the victims, he is not willing to compromise with us."

The head of the Li family in Zhaojun chuckled and gave two judgments.

And these two judgments,

No matter which one, it is beneficial to them.

Time is passing.

In the imperial city, everyone is like ants on a hot pot.

"Where is Your Majesty? Why haven't you come yet? There is no food at the moment. Should we send troops to evacuate the victims?"

Du Ruhui was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

This public resentment,

If the fermentation continues, the royal family will be in serious danger!!

"Prime Minister Du, don't worry, your Majesty will find a solution."

Compared to Du Ruhui's anxiety, Changsun Wuji, who also summoned the victims, was very relaxed.

What's more, there is a smile that cannot be concealed at the corner of his mouth.

Du Ruhui saw in his eyes that this old boy had been like this all morning. He didn't say anything when asked, he acted like a mute, and he wanted to scare him to death.

"Auxiliary machine, what do you and His Majesty have to rely on? Tell me?!"

Du Ruhui asked again.

"Your Majesty will give you the answer."

Changsun Wuji replied.

Du Ruhui rolled his eyes and gave this stupid answer again.

"Your Majesty is here~~!!"

At this time, a sharp eunuch's voice sounded, causing everyone to kneel down and worship the figure.

I saw Li Shimin wearing a yellow robe today, with a majestic dragon face, and the two eunuchs following him were holding fly whisks in their hands.

Full of momentum!

And it makes people feel that His Majesty still has a sense of self-confidence today.

This left the family officials present a little confused. They all received information that Li Shimin did not ask the family for food. Where did this confidence come from?!

Surrounded by everyone, Li Shimin came to the imperial city wall and looked down at the dark mass of refugees below.

"It's your Majesty. Your Majesty, you are finally here. We need food, we need food!!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu""""""wuwuwu", my daughter, she...she is going to starve to death. Your majesty, please, I only need a little ration. It doesn't matter if I starve to death, but my daughter can't. She is still so young, and I haven't taken a good look at her yet.

Datang."

"Your Majesty, please let those grain dealers distribute grain. We are not human beings in your eyes. Just let them distribute pig food and horse food. We only need food!!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is putting out grain!!"

The victims were excited.

Viewed from Li Shimin’s position.

As far as the eye can see, there are the sounds of people kneeling down and praying for food.

The victims' clothes are in tatters, their faces are sallow and their muscles are thin, their lips are turned over, and many of them are even thinner and more lifeless than beggars.

He saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart.

Eyes moist.

Clench your right hand tightly.

These damn aristocratic families!!

The hatred for the aristocratic family is even more intense.

Li Shimin thought carefully last night and came up with a way.

Today, regardless of whether Li Kuan has the food or not, he must summon the victims. He will personally eat locusts in front of the victims.

Everyone says that locusts are poisonous.

If he dies because of this, it proves that God does not want him to be the emperor. This is destiny!!

And if it’s edible, that’s a new solution!!

From beginning to end, he never wanted to compromise with the family.

He has his own pride and dignity, which cannot be trampled by aristocratic families!!

Li Shimin originally wanted to take a big gamble, but the appearance of food in Li Kuan's mansion made him give up this idea.

Kuan'er, father, thank you very much.

Silently thanking him from the bottom of his heart, Li Shimin took a deep breath, hiding his heart softly, and regained his dignity as an emperor.

Raise your right hand.

In an instant, many people's complaints gradually stopped, and they all knew that His Majesty was about to speak.

"My fellow citizens, these days there are countless reports of droughts in various places, falling like snowflakes."

"You are all the people of the Tang Dynasty and a part of the Tang Dynasty. You are indispensable. I know your pain and will never ignore you!!"
