Datang: My private money was exposed by Li Shimin

"Reverse! Reverse!"

"It's against them!"

"The hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops are about to approach the city!"

"In the face of national crisis, they can still make such shameless demands!"

"Even if I die with the Turks, I will never agree!"

Li Shimin's roar filled Daming Palace.

At this moment, his eyes were tearing apart, his eyes were red, and he was extremely angry.

Empress Changsun, who was sitting on the side, hurriedly helped Li Shimin support his back with one hand, and open his chest with the other.

I'm afraid that he will be angry.

Since he took office, he not only loves the people like a son, but also speaks widely to princes and ministers.

Empress Changsun hadn't seen him lose such a temper for a long time.

However, this can not blame him.

In the late autumn of the first year of Zhenguan, there was a frost in Guanzhong, and the grain production decreased sharply.

In the second year of Zhenguan, there was a severe drought in Guanzhong, there was no harvest, and starvation was everywhere.

In the third year of Zhenguan, locusts ravaged.

For three consecutive years, it is tantamount to worsening the situation for the people of Limin who are already hungry.

In addition, the imperial court has been in deficit for many years, and can no longer pay tribute to the Turkic gold, silver and jewelry, which makes the Turkic Khan Jieli feel dissatisfied. He only takes this opportunity to attack Li Shimin.

There are tens of thousands of victims without food inside, and 10,000+ Turkic troops outside.

Under internal and external troubles, the imperial court can be said to be struggling.

No matter how determined Li Shimin is to help the disaster, he will not be able to change his fate against the sky and turn the tide.

Turkic Khan Jieli led his men to attack Chang'an City soon!

Li Shimin ordered the assembly of all troops in Chang'an City to prepare for a desperate fight.

But as long as there is a war, the food and salaries of the officers and soldiers will be involved.

On weekdays, the well-to-do pampered nobles often piled up gold and jade under Li Shimin's nose.

Now is the time when they need to donate generously to share the country's worries, but they told Li Shimin that they can pay for the army's food and salary, but there are conditions.

The generals who led the troops to repel the Turks had to be selected from among the elites of the gentry.

In the future, important positions in the military must also be filled with descendants of powerful people.

If possible, they even wanted Li Shimin to surrender his military power!
Li Shimin was furious after hearing this, and tore up their papers.

Even Fang Xuanling, whom he relied on so much, never dared to ask about matters related to the Imperial Army. The aristocrats of this family are so courageous!
These people are afraid that they want to take the opportunity to rebel!

These sanctimonious hypocrites!
If Li Shimin gives in this time, the country that has been fought so hard will be handed over to others.

It is impossible for him to agree to anything!
But he changed his mind again...

Now that the military rations are in short supply, weapons are in short supply, and there are very few people under his command who can immediately fight.

The situation is not optimistic!

Li Shimin frowned and looked at the three Fang Xuanling standing beside him.

"Xuanling, Auxiliary Machine, Keming, the three of you have accompanied me all over the world. Over the years of life and death, you three are the only ones I can trust the most."

"In this current situation, do you have a good plan?"

Li Shimin asked worriedly.

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and shook his head, he is really at the end of his rope now.

At this moment, facing Li Shimin, there is only silence.

Du Ruhui was sincere and apprehensive, and he hesitated and dared not say more.

Even Li Shimin's eldest uncle, Changsun Wuji, can only call himself stupid at the moment.

It's not their wine bags and rice bags, but the aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty are criss-crossing, and the things on the market are basically related to the aristocratic families.

"Forget it, auxiliary machine, step back."

The eldest grandson Wuji and the three looked at Li Shimin's proud and sad back.

With tears in his eyes, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only leave the scene sadly.

Li Shimin stood in front of the window, his thoughts wandering.

In the past, he listened to the advice of Empress Changsun and implemented a policy of preferential treatment for the people and these noble families.

As long as everyone agrees with him, he will not treat anyone badly.

can come to an end.

What did he get in exchange? !

It is ungrateful!
Is pushing an inch!
It's audacity!
Have they been grateful all along?

This devastated Zhenguan, how much effort and effort did he, Li Shimin, spend to maintain it?

They are really stupid and ignorant!

Li Shimin's heart was piercingly chilled, his hands trembling.

Is it true that, as the folk rumors say, the disorder of floods and droughts is the retribution of other people's failure of morality, killing brothers and seizing the throne?
But even if he had to be punished, Li Shimin should bear it alone.
Li Shimin's eyes were moist with mixed feelings.

"Queen. The Turkic army will arrive in Chang'an in three days. Once the city is broken, the lives will be ruined. Otherwise... I, let them go."

Having said this, Li Shimin felt sad. For the past three years in Zhenguan, he has worked for the well-being of the common people, and the gentry clans have been constantly entangled. Is this protracted tug-of-war finally going to be defeated by them? !
Want his military power?
Want an important job in the military?
What's the difference between this and seizing his country!

If Li Shimin really agreed to their request, he would really be held hostage to become a puppet emperor by then.

Empress Changsun saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart. Li Shimin conquered countless people, what a proud person he was, but now for the sake of the world and the common people, he had to lower his proud head.

At this moment, the two looked at each other speechlessly, only pouring out tears.

Looking at the cold moon outside the window, Li Shimin wiped away his tears with firm eyes.

"In this battle, I will go into battle personally, and I hope you will take good care of our children."

"The crown prince inherits Qian, and there is a long way to go. There are also Ke'er and Li Jian."

Speaking of Li Jian, Li Shimin sighed helplessly. Among his sons, only Li Jian was the least worrying.

The rest of the brothers either devoted themselves to studying or practiced martial arts hard, only Li Jian was idle.

Seeing Li Shimin's question, Empress Changsun also shook her head and smiled wryly.

"Jian'er is different. She is active by nature. It may take some time. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Your Majesty might as well let him go."

"Nonsense! As a prince, you are so foolish. It's not a big deal to embarrass me, Li Tang, how will he gain a foothold in the palace in the future! Come on, quickly find this rebellious son!"

While speaking, Li Shimin's expression was embarrassing, his chest was tight and short of breath. He was already depressed, but now he was even more irritable by Li Jian's anger.

Outside the gate, a group of Xuanjia troops came to guard, and Empress Changsun was by her side, comforting her.

"Your Majesty, Jian'er lost her mother since she was a child. Although she is naughty, her character is not bad. I will ask my elder brother to call him to the palace."

Li Shimin sighed helplessly, raised his hand and said: "Forget it, the auxiliary machine has something important to do, I will go to him personally, and I must send him to Hongwen Hall to concentrate on studying."

Dai Wang Li Jian lost his mother since he was a child. There were open and secret fights in the palace.

Treating Li Jian as her own, and caring for her every day, there is a place for Li Jian in this huge palace.

I don't know.

Since the ninth year of Wude, Li Jian is no longer a generational king buried in history, but a traveler from thousands of years later!
Li Jian, who has the same name and surname, did not expect to cross over to such a hapless bastard.

Not only low status, but also weak and sickly!

Fortunately... the golden finger that is standard for time travel also fell on Li Jian.

The name of this system is also very flamboyant - a full-level human system!
