Datang: Son-in-law, I beg you to come out of the mountain

Li Shimin walked into the hall with strides, his face was full of spring breeze, changing from his previously sluggish and melancholy mood.

"Your Majesty! Where have you been? The concubine's heart is hanging in her throat!" Empress Changsun cried with joy. Although it was a reproach, it was more of a joy.

Just come back!

"Guanyin maidservant! I am so happy today!" Li Shimin said excitedly.

Guanyin Maid is the nickname of Empress Changsun. Li Shimin and Empress Changsun have a very good relationship. When they are together in private, Li Shimin will always call Empress Changsun as Guanyin Maid.

Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin's smiling face, and couldn't help but be infected by his bright smile.

She is amazed!

Disasters followed one after another, the aristocratic family dominated the government, and the Turkic border troubles were not eliminated. Li Shimin had been worried since he came to the throne, and even frowned when he fell asleep.

However, today, he actually smiled so heartily!

"It must be a great joy to make the emperor so happy, and my concubine would like to hear about it." Empress Changsun was infected by Li Shimin's smile, and said with a smile.

"Several months of snowstorms, starvation of the people, and complaints from the people, I was very depressed, so I took Lu Yun to the surrounding counties in private to check the disaster situation." Li Shimin took Empress Changsun's hand and rubbed it.

"Is the emperor looking for food to relieve the victims?" Empress Changsun's eyes lit up. Although she is a queen, she cares about the country and the people no less than Li Shimin.

"Yes, and no." Li Shimin smiled.

"Your majesty, don't be a fool, tell your concubine quickly." The queen laughed angrily.

"I met a ghost today!" Li Shimin said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Ghost?" Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin strangely. There were many talents in the Tang Dynasty, and Empress Changsun had never heard Li Shimin praise any minister as a ghost.

Li Shimin told Empress Changsun one by one what he saw and heard today, but he omitted the details that he was wrapped in a stolen horse and was almost frozen to death.

Empress Changsun became more and more excited when she heard Li Shimin's words, and said excitedly:

"God bless my Great Tang! I actually let my Great Tang produce such a genius for governing the country!"

"Your Majesty, my concubine thinks that this person is worthy of great use! Why don't you worship him as a national teacher? To be used by the Emperor?"

Li Shimin shook his head helplessly: "It's a pity, this kid is not interested in being an official, and even said that he is afraid of being squeezed out by the aristocratic family when he enters the court, so he would rather stay in the manor and farm."

Empress Changsun couldn't help sighing.

Yang Zhuo's words are not unreasonable. Today's imperial court is indeed dominated by aristocratic families. Although the dynasty has changed, the official family is still the same.

Although you know that aristocratic families control the government, but you have to use them, do you mean to irritate people?

"Then Mr. Yang Zhuo told the emperor how to break this predicament?" Queen Changsun asked.

"The most important thing right now is to quickly implement the disaster relief responsibility system and work-for-relief. How to solve the matter of the aristocratic family's control of the government will wait until next time, and I will ask for advice." Li Shimin said.

Empress Changsun nodded and said, "Your Majesty is wise. The responsibility system for disaster relief and work-for-relief are extraordinary actions. There is no profit at all. They should be implemented immediately."

"Guanyin maidservant, you just wait for the morning court tomorrow, I will kill all directions!" Li Shimin said confidently and confidently.

Seeing Li Shimin's happy and confident appearance, Empress Changsun was also happy.

Before that, Li Shimin went to court like going to a grave, and he would be besieged by his officials as soon as he went to court. They joined forces to persuade Li Shimin, and they must issue an edict of sin and sacrifice to heaven to apologize.

Although it is true that he has done something disgraceful, but that is a wound he cannot touch, and now he is forced to kneel down to apologize, which is like slapping Li Shimin in the face.

But, it's different now, he has Yang Zhuo's ingenious plan in his hand, just wait and see the surprised expressions of the ministers tomorrow!
Because of his happiness, Li Shimin drank some wine with Empress Changsun and talked until late at night before falling asleep.

-

On the second day, when it was still daylight, Li Shimin got up, washed up, and went to court confidently.

All the ministers lined up respectfully to enter the court, but what surprised them was that Li Shimin, who used to not come early before the last minute, had already sat on the dragon chair early today, looking solemn and solemn, full of imperial style!
"Today's emperor seems to be different from the past, but I can't tell what is different." Civil servant Fang Xuanling turned to Du Ruhui and said in a low voice.

Du Ruhui hissed, the hero saw the same thing.

"really!"

Li Shimin looked down at the ministers below. In the past, he always felt that these ministers were as intelligent as foxes and had top-notch strategies. He already had the best talents in the Tang Dynasty.

However, ever since he met Yang Zhuo, he always felt a sense of inadequacy in his heart. If he could use Yang Zhuo for him, it would be called consummation.

"Snow disasters for days, people suffering, and famine spreading, what's the best plan for the lovers?" Li Shimin rested his jaw on his hands, and looked down at the officials below with piercing eyes.

When the ministers heard this, they were discussing this topic again, and there was no sound at all.

The snowstorm and famine are the most difficult to deal with.

The leak in the house happened to rain overnight, and before the snowstorm, there were droughts and locust plagues. There is no food in this granary. How to rescue the disaster?

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, so what else can she do?
"I believe that Your Majesty should issue an edict to punish oneself as soon as possible, pray to the heaven above, and appease the hearts of the people below." Wei Zheng came out and leaned over to play.

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

"The minister also agrees!"

Seeing that Wei Zheng was leading the way, the other ministers lined up to second the proposal, not afraid of big things to watch.

Li Shimin had just ascended the throne not long ago, and his relationship with the aristocratic family could not be stiff. It was precisely because of this weakness that the ministers dared to deliberately make Li Shimin unhappy.

"In ancient times, Yu and Tang sinned against themselves. They reflected on their own mistakes, moved the heavens and the earth, and the people were pleased..." Wei Zheng was upright, and he thought it was right. Even if he hit the south wall, he refused to look back. Happy, but still citing scriptures and talking non-stop.

He must persuade Li Shimin to issue this sin.

In the past, Li Shimin would have a headache and frown whenever he brought up the crime of his own edict.Today, however, Li Shimin took his time and calmly said, "Go ahead, I'll let you do as much as you want."

"Is there any other countermeasure?" Li Shimin leaned back slightly, sat on the dragon chair, and looked at the officials below with a smile on his face.

Wei Zheng saw that Li Shimin didn't show any anger, nor did he intend to accept remonstrance, just being left alone like this, feeling a cool breeze blowing, he was extremely embarrassed.

"I believe that to resist disasters, we must unite as one, and encourage aristocratic families to donate more to help the victims."

Fang Xuanling knew that Li Shimin hated the sin against himself.

As Li Shimin's confidant, it was his duty to rescue Li Shimin. At this moment, he came out and changed the subject.

"My minister agrees!"

Du Ruhui naturally knew that this donation was of no practical significance. It was fine to donate, but it was another matter to donate more or less. However, he was happy to second the proposal if he could save Li Shimin from the siege.

Li Shimin gave Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui a look of approval, but then, he tossed his sleeves and looked down at the officials, with a confident smile on his face: "Although what the loves say has some truth, it is definitely not a good strategy."
