Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

Li Shimin naturally understood what he meant, and then shook his head with great self-reproach.

"About the situation in Jingzhou and the military situation next year, Li Jing has submitted to me many times."

"The military affairs in the Jingzhou area and the construction of the city must not be delayed."

"As for the situation in the Eastern Capital, try your best to think of a way."

"If it doesn't work, just learn from Wei Zheng and the samurai Xun and ask Li Qiu!"

In the end, Li Shimin's words also involved Li Qiu.

But the speaker has no intention, but the listener does.

Li Shimin's original intention was to beat up this group of ministers by praising Li Qiu's achievements.

But in the ears of these ministers, it didn't mean that at all.

About ten days later, Feng Yuanyuan, the Minister of the Household Department, and two other officials of the Shangshu Province directly took the decree issued by the imperial court, and came to Yizhou with great arrogance.

Because Li Qiu is currently handling the corresponding affairs here.

For these officials of the imperial court, Li Qiu was very upset.

So Song You was asked to receive them.

This Song You, who was originally the governor of Yizhou, has good abilities, and Li Qiu is also quite comfortable with him.

So he took him by his side and asked him to help him manage the government affairs of the thirteen states while serving as the governor of Yizhou.

Now, with the arrival of Li Qiu, the operation of the thirteen prefectures is more like a small imperial court.

Many things are connected, and finally Li Qiu will make up his mind.

Therefore, the government affairs of these thirteen states are united, and the efficiency is also very high.

In terms of official rank, there is not much difference between the governor of Yizhou and the servant of the household department.

However, of the two of them, one is a senior member of the imperial court in Chang'an Jinluan Hall, and the other is just a remote and desolate governor of a small state.

In fact, in terms of status and status, there is too much difference.

So much so that after Song You met them, he nodded and bowed his head, degrading himself.

But Feng Yuan and other Beijing officials were arrogant.

"Inspector of Song Dynasty, this time the Eastern Capital and Henan are in serious disaster, and countless people starve to death."

"So the emperor was furious and specially sent us to your thirteen states to collect food."

"Time is running out, I hope you hurry up and don't miss the time."

"Otherwise, you can't afford this responsibility."

As they said that, they slapped the decree issued by the imperial court on the table.

At this moment, Song You frowned, and solemnly picked up the document to look at it.

It is true.

So he hurriedly bowed and said, "My lords, please wait a moment."

"For such a big matter, the lower officials would never dare to decide."

"I still have to report it to my governor."

Seeing him like this, Feng Yuanyuan and the others snorted in contempt, and turned directly to accept the entertainment arranged by Song You.

Song You, on the other hand, was extremely anxious and rushed to Li Qiu's place in a hurry.

Since he had never been in contact with these high officials of the imperial court, he was panicked, and he was really afraid of delaying the important event.

However, after he met Li Qiu and handed the document to Li Qiu, he was frightened to death by Li Qiu's attitude.

"what?"

"Leave them alone?!"

"My governor, this is a document issued by the imperial court, how can we ignore it?!"

"This... this is going to cause a big problem!"

Li Qiu looked at him helplessly at this time, "It's just a document issued by the imperial court, so what's the big problem?"

"They guys really dare to open their mouths like a lion, and they want [-] shi of food!"

"Could it be that if I don't have food, can I give them food?!"

"After a while, go back and tell them that we don't have the food they want. Let them go back and find a way."

Hearing Li Qiu's words, Song You was almost scared to death.

His face was full of tears, "My lord, this official is just a governor of this small county."

"How dare you do what you said!"

Li Qiu sighed helplessly, "Alright then, I'll go with you!"

Chapter 277 Ding!Successfully resisted

Afterwards, under the protection of Song You and other local officials, Li Qiu came to the place where Feng Yuanyuan and others were located.

As soon as they saw Li Qiu coming, Feng Yuanyuan and the others never dared to push him as much as before.

According to the etiquette, I greeted Li Qiu step by step, "I have met the governor, the king of Peking."

Of course, this is just an appearance. In their eyes and inner emotions, they are still inexplicably proud.

Li Qiu didn't show any expression at this time, but just took their document and government order back in front of them.

"I read the decree."

"However, in my thirteen prefectures here, let alone [-] shi of grain, I can't get out even an extra shi of grain."

(One stone in the Tang Dynasty was about one hundred catties of grain.)

"Please come back."

After hearing Li Qiu's words, the complexions of Feng Yuanyuan and others changed.

"Heh, Chief Governor, we are also following the order of the court to handle this matter."

"Right now, Dongdu, Henan and other places are full of mourners, and the dead are lying on each other's shoulders. All the officials and people of our Tang Dynasty should do their part for them."

"If the governor can't come up with these grains, I won't dare to embarrass him."

"Then please ask the governor to take in another [-] Dongdu refugees."

After speaking, he immediately shook the government document, "This is His Majesty's decree, a government document issued by the imperial court."

"Governor, you can also understand that this is a must-do task that the emperor and the court personally set for you."

"Regarding this matter, you can do it, Dadudu, and you have to do it if you don't!"

"Great governor, you don't want to resist the order, do you?"

Hearing what they said, Song You and other local officials all changed their expressions.

Local officials like them are absolutely intimidating to officials of Shangshu Province like Feng Yuanyuan.

Seeing everyone's ugly faces, they were also quite proud in their hearts.

However, Li Qiu snorted softly at this time, "Oh, what a servant of the household department who bosses around, gets on the line, and holds chicken feathers as arrows."

"Today, I will tell you clearly that if you want food, you won't have an extra bucket of rice."

"I can't accept even one more refugee appointed by the imperial court!"

"Now that your decree has been sent and you have received my reply, I will not keep you here."

"Song You, see off the guests for me!"

After speaking, Li Qiu didn't even give them a glance, and left with his sleeves thrown up.

At this moment, in Li Qiu's mind, the voice of the system jumped out:

【Ding!The protagonist disobeyed the decree and obtained an energy crystal.There are currently 2 energy crystals in total, system points...]

On the other side, the household servant Feng Yuanyuan and others never imagined that Li Qiu, the king of Peking, would have such courage.

He really dared to disobey the imperial court's decree!

And the most hateful thing is that he didn't save any face for himself, so he just saw off the guests.

Ever since, each of them was itching with hatred in their hearts, and angrily shook their hands and left.

On the way back, he was also constantly thinking about how to make matters worse, and played Li Qiu's book hard.

After sending off these "uncles" from the court, Song You ran back to Li Qiu's side, sighing and sighing constantly.

"Oh, my lord, although officials like them who have come down from the court are not of high rank, we can never afford to offend them!"

"Our side is high and the emperor is far away, but they can face the saint every day."

"In the future, if you find any small flaws and they sway their mouths casually, it is very likely that a serious crime has fallen on your head, my lord."

"This is why it is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain!"

Li Qiu snorted disdainfully at this time, "I really don't pay attention to a mere household servant."

"Also, please remember that the current sage is a wise and wise king."

"Above the imperial court, there are also direct ministers who do not collude with the powerful and noble families."

"As long as we are reasonable, we don't need to be afraid of them."

"Taking a step back, on the decree they took, the seal only stopped at Shang Shu Sheng."

"The real level is far from as high as they describe."

"It's His Majesty's decree, and it's issued by the court. It's just a fake show of prestige."

"One more thing, remember."

"In the future, all officials from the capital will not be received beyond the standard."

"Just follow the prescribed procedures and place them in the station."

"With the wine, meat, food, and money saved, wouldn't it be better for us to help more people?!"

Listening to Li Qiu's words, Song You and others nodded repeatedly.

At the same time, I also have great admiration and admiration in my heart: our prince and Mr. Zhang Yungu are indeed high officials sent by the imperial court. The real big shots are very domineering!

On the other side, after Feng Yuanyuan and others returned to the disaster relief headquarters in Dongdu, Household Minister Han Zhongliang and others naturally knew Li Qiu's attitude.

Immediately, he was so angry that he was about to burst into tears, and he slapped the table angrily, "This Li Qiu is really arrogant and bullying too much!"

"Since he courted his own death this time and blatantly disobeyed the government order, then no one else can blame him!"

"Reporting to the court and contacting many adults in the court, this time he must not be spared lightly!"

……

A large part of the reason for Li Qiu's blatant disobedience to the government order this time was that the document did not have the seal of his disciples.

At the same time, he did not receive a private notice from Wang Gui, the Prime Minister of Menxia Province.

So he concluded that the level of this document is not high.

Especially what they call His Majesty's decree is even more nonsense.

Sure enough, when Han Zhongliang, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and many noble ministers were preparing to play Li Qiu fiercely, Wang Gui, who had already heard the news, ran to Li Shimin in advance to support Li Qiu's pockets.

"Your Majesty, there is such a rubbing document, I would like you to have a look at it."

After hearing Wang Gui's words, Li Shimin put down what he was doing in amazement, and picked up the rubbing document to have a look.

Immediately, Li Shimin frowned, "Order Peking King Li Qiu and his thirteen prefectures to assist in disaster relief?"

"Where did this decree come from?"

"From last year to now, Li Qiu and his frontier land, the thirteen small prefectures, have accepted no less than [-] disaster victims, right?"

"Now you still want to order him how to provide disaster relief?"
