Datang: My private money was exposed by Li Shimin

Li Family Mansion.

People from the major families gathered again, and unlike before, there were quite a lot of people this time.

There are not only representatives of major families, but also officials at all levels in the DPRK and China.

because.

What they talked about next was not how to face the next situation, but how to live.

Although many people gathered in the lobby, it was extremely quiet at this time, and only the heavy breathing of many people could be heard.

Everyone's face was extremely ugly. They never thought that one day they would worry about the food they ate.

"I've said that there is a problem here, but I didn't expect the emperor's methods to be so disgusting!" After a long silence, Li Yuankai finally stood up.

The current situation in Chang'an is even worse than before, and the price of food has skyrocketed to a terrifying [-] times.

but.

Even if the food is increased by a thousand times, it is meaningless!

Because Chang'an City can no longer find anyone with food, and now it is even a problem to feed themselves, and it is impossible to sell food.

Including all the people gathered here at this time, they can only watch a lot of money, but they can't buy a grain of food, but gold and silver can't be eaten as food.

"No wonder the emperor didn't care about the soaring price of grain at all, and he was determined to buy grain. It turned out that he just wanted to hold the grain in his own hands!"

"Now you must have a lot of money in your hands, but you are at risk of starving to death, right? Even if this situation is told, no one will believe it!" Duan Lun stood up and said in a low voice with a wry smile.

Not to mention these people in the lobby, even he couldn't control the temptation thrown by the emperor, and exchanged most of the food in the mansion for money.

Now he is only quite regretful, why didn't heed Li Yuankai's advice at the beginning, and didn't take this matter to heart at all, it was too late to react now.

"Then what should we do now, the food will be less every day, if this continues, in less than half a month, most people will probably run out of food!"

"Yes! Now that we have encountered such a great difficulty, shouldn't we also ask the emperor for help? Anyway, we are not entitled to the things that the victims and common people can get?"

"Perhaps the emperor just waited for this day. He spent such a huge price to get into such a situation. Is it useful for us to beg him?"

"The problem now is not whether to ask for the emperor, but if there is no food, we can't hold on at all. At that time, all the people under us will rush away, and it will really be over!"

"Then it's settled, ask His Majesty for help as soon as possible, even if you can buy the grain back at the same price!"

Everyone started discussing one after another, their expressions were extremely excited, this was a matter related to their own lives, and they dared not slack off.

"Even if you want to ask the emperor for help, you must not say it so bluntly. Otherwise, whether you can succeed or not is one thing, but you will definitely be severely punished!" Pei Ji, who had never spoken, saw that the situation was a little out of control , immediately stood up and said.

"Now it's obvious what His Majesty wants to do. He has deliberately planned to create this situation, waiting for us to take the initiative to speak!"

"Think about it, everyone, what kind of thinking did we have when the problem of disaster victims arose?"

The lobby was quiet again, and everyone's eyes were on Pei Ji.

They don't want to hear these reasons now, they just want to know how to solve the predicament in front of them.

"Then what should we do?" Li Yuankai raised the most critical question.

"When we were in court, all of us had to be dispatched at the same time. In other words, in order to solve this disaster, we also made a lot of efforts in secret!"

"Now we are also encountering difficulties. When we ask the emperor for help, we must not mention the money first. If it is really impossible, it will not be too late to buy it in the same way!" Pei Ji took a deep breath and continued.

He knew what the emperor wanted to do, but the nature of the problem was quite serious.

One thing Pei Ji knew very well, that is, the emperor would never just watch everyone fall down.

otherwise.

Li Shimin will be completely alone. From ancient times to the present, no emperor would be so stupid.

Pei Ji's words were immediately approved by the majority of people. Anyway, it was not just one person who was unlucky this time. The major families and most of the officials in the court were all involved in this incident.

They didn't believe that the emperor would really die!

"Then that's it... This time, you all need to work together to tide over the difficulties!" Li Yuankai said, looking at everyone seriously.

Although he also knew in his heart that this matter might not be so easy to solve...

……

however.

Everyone underestimated Li Shimin's determination. In the court hall the next day, as Pei Ji said beforehand, most of them stood up at the same time.

They all said that they are very difficult now, because of the disaster victims and food prices, they even have problems in survival now.

As an official in the court, he is now facing the problem of having nothing to eat, so the court and the emperor should naturally take care of it.

"I probably understand what you dear friends mean. There is not enough food now, so the court should take out food to help you, right?" Li Shimin looked at the crowd with a smile, and couldn't hide a little satisfaction on his face.

He has worked so hard for so long just to wait for this day to come.

"Your Majesty, the common people are His Majesty's subjects, and so are the ministers. Now that we have encountered such difficulties, I hope Your Majesty will generously help!" Duan Lun took a deep breath, stood up and said again.

He clearly knew that this was the time the emperor was waiting for, but he had no choice but to do so.

Face and dignity seem to be less important in front of survival.

"This matter...I'm afraid it won't work!" Li Shimin gave Duan Lun a meaningful look, and shook his head resolutely.

"You are different from ordinary people. Needless to say how rich your family is? How could you suddenly have no food?"

"If food is really in short supply, then why did you sell all the food at that time? As I said at the time, it is never compulsory to buy food, it is all voluntary!"

"When the price of food was high, everyone tried their best to sell the food. When the government and the victims of the disaster needed support, I didn't see you so active!"

"Now that something is wrong, I need to help out with food. How can there be such a reason in the world?"

Although this situation had been expected for a long time, everyone seemed to be unable to find anything to refute.

a time.

Most of the people in the hall showed signs of despair...
