Datang: My private money was exposed by Li Shimin

Chapter 15 Li Shimin's Survival Food

"Today's oath, I will never go back on my word!"

"oath?!"

Hearing Li Shimin's sudden oath, the common people were slightly taken aback, and some even showed surprised expressions.

But immediately, the people were very excited.

"Great, great!"

"We are saved, we are saved."

"Hahaha! It's great, I finally have a way out!"

.........

Li Shimin's eyes were like arrows, straight to the hearts of all the civil and military officials present, and all the people present who were secretly in collusion with the nobles of the aristocratic families all looked away,
They didn't dare to look directly at Li Shimin, but these officials were very suspicious of Li Shimin's so-called oath just now.

The officials of these aristocratic families thought about it one by one.

"Well, you Li Shimin, in order to appease the people, you have already started talking nonsense."

"Our five surnames and seven hope that these big families don't nod, can you, Li Shimin, conjure food out of thin air?"

"That is, even if you really have food, it is absolutely impossible to change it within a few days!"

"Li Shimin, you want to use this method to appease the people, don't even think about it!"

"This time, let me see how you end up!"

Looking at the expressions of these family officials, Li Shimin's eyes became more determined.

He knew that these people might have confirmed his oath, and it was absolutely impossible for those people to believe his words.

However, Li Shimin was not worried. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He looked at the group of family officials and said word by word: "Don't worry, everyone. After I declare the oath, I will definitely do things according to my promise."

Li Shimin took a deep breath, turned around and looked down the city.

Under the gate of Mingde, there are a vast number of refugees, all of them are unkempt, emaciated,
The eyes are full of fear and fear, and there is a trace of hope.

Li Shimin felt pain in his heart, looking at these common people, he also felt a deep sense of guilt in his heart.

"These people, they are innocent, they are innocent!"

"People of Datang, I am late!"

This sentence calmed down the rioting crowd gradually, but in the crowd, lackeys of the aristocratic family continued to stir up riots.

"The emperor has food to eat, but we have nothing to eat, so why are we the ones who starved to death!"

"Yeah, the emperor doesn't even give us food, so why doesn't he give us food!"

"Is there any king in this world!"

"Yes, we are innocent!"

"We don't agree!"

At this moment, Li Shimin's eyes showed a murderous intent, and he looked at the lackeys with hatred in his heart.

Since he ascended the throne, he has always treated courtiers with generosity and benevolence, but today, he finally knows what it means to be self-defeating.

What has been exchanged for my kindness all this time!
Li Shimin was furious in his heart.

One person raised his arms, and a hundred people shouted. Soon, under the pressure of the aristocratic henchmen, the refugees were in commotion again.

"Your Majesty, look, these refugees are going to make trouble, what should we do!"

"Your Majesty, please order the imperial army to disperse the refugees, these refugees are too much!"

Seeing the commotion in front of him, Li Shimin frowned.

His face became extremely ugly.

"You bastard, there are so many people in Tang Dynasty, how could I hurt them?"

Li Shimin looked at the city, a tear fell with the wind.

The people in the front row were all shocked when they saw Li Shimin weeping.

"Your Majesty is crying because of us, am I right?"

"It is said that the emperor doesn't understand the sufferings of the people at all. Now it seems that this is not the case. Since His Majesty can be so sad for us, it means that he will never be without us in his heart!"

Seeing the reaction of the common people, Li Shimin could no longer control the grief and anger in his heart, "Thousands of mistakes are my Li Shimin's fault, but today I promise that you will never be hungry again!"

"Talk without evidence!"

Doubtful voices came from the crowd,

These people looked at Li Shimin, all of them were full of doubts.

They were full of doubts about Li Shimin's words, wondering if there was really food for them to survive!
The reactions of these people fell right into Li Shimin's hands.

I saw him yell.

"It's good, but there is no basis for what you say. The suffering of the people is my fault. I have thought hard to resist the Turks, in order to give the Great Tang a peace."

"But there are people with evil intentions, domestic famine, saying that Chang'an has no surplus food, and the treasury has no surplus food, that is all a lie!"

"Okay, I'll prove it to you!"

After speaking, Li Shimin turned around and looked at a group of powerful officials behind him.

"Your Majesty, think twice!"

"Your Majesty, please take it back!"

These aristocrats from aristocratic families looked loyal and virtuous, one by one, they all blocked Li Shimin's way.

These aristocrats thought that Li Shimin was still bragging to deceive those idiots and refugees.

That's why they pretended to stop him, because they wanted to see Li Shimin turn his back on his word and lose face in front of the common people.

But the civilian refugees outside the Mingde Gate didn't care about what Li Shimin said before, they just kept echoing in their minds, and they had enough food.

"There is food!"

You can live if you have food, and everyone under Mingde's family is boiling again.

The officials, on the other hand, didn't believe Li Shimin's words of surplus food.

The imperial court is already so poor, how can food be produced?

The officials with five surnames and seven wangs showed disdain one after another, waiting to see how Li Shimin would end up.

They have secretly planned in their hearts that once Li Shimin fails, they will immediately stand up and accuse Li Shimin of lying to the people, saying that he is talking nonsense, so that they can drag Li Shimin into a place of eternal doom.

"You don't have to worry, as long as our General's Mansion has food, we will definitely give you the surplus food, and we won't lie to you!"

Li Shimin's words made everyone even more suspicious.

This Li Shimin is really out of shape.

He couldn't even bring out the surplus food, and he was talking nonsense when he said there was food.

"Your Majesty, you are so confused!"

At this time, the representatives of the five surnames and Qiwang finally couldn't bear it anymore.
