Chapter 388 Ji Song wants to rebel? When Li Shimin saw this document, the ministers in the hall had been arguing for several hours, but so far, no one had come up with a solution.
As the prime minister, Fang Xuanling cannot quarrel with other people. Since ancient times, man-made disasters can be cured, but natural disasters are inevitable! This was the only time he had seen such heavy snow, and there was no precedent to learn from. For a while, he had no clue.
But now all the roads in Guanzhong have been blocked by heavy snow. It will take a lot of manpower and material resources to convey the decree, which may not be possible.
If we can't come up with a solution in time, we don't know what trouble will happen. If someone makes trouble, by the time the court gets the news, the day lily will probably be cold.
Cheng Yaojin shouted from below to take the soldiers to shovel the snow, but this was not a good idea. If it could be done, they would have done it long ago. How can they wait until you, a big boss, are making noises here?
The soldiers are the cornerstone of the imperial court's intimidation. They must not be touched unless absolutely necessary.
"His Majesty."
Seeing that this was not an option now, Fang Xuanling wanted to say something, but when she looked up, she found that something was wrong with His Majesty's state.
Li Shimin looked blankly at the document in his hand. This was a memorial written by the magistrate of Chang'an County asking for credit for everyone in Chongrenfang.
Especially the sentence above, 'When one party is in trouble, all parties will support', made him silent for a long time.
At this moment, an urgent report came from outside the palace, and a man covered in snowflakes was seen. He walked quickly into the palace and said, "Your Majesty, the palace guards are here to report. Say. Say."
"say what?"
Fang Xuanling asked directly, something must not happen at this time, otherwise something big will definitely happen!
"It is said that Zhuque Street is full of people at this time. They are clearing the snow. Half of it has been cleared now. It won't be long before Zhuque Street is cleared!"
"and."
"And what? Say it all at once!" Li Shimin probably knew what was going on, but it was better to ask clearly.
The visitor swallowed his saliva and said hesitantly: "And now the streets in Chang'an are full of people, and they are voluntarily clearing the snow in Chang'an City."
"What? You mean they're clearing the snow on their own?"
Everyone felt incredible. When did the people have this kind of awareness? Normally, you would kill your parents if you want them to do labor, but now they are willing to work for the court?
Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, handed the memorial to Fang Xuanling, and sighed: "The people understand better than us. We, the monarchs and ministers, have been discussing here, but we haven't come up with a solution yet."
"But the people have already taken matters into their own hands, and they understand that if this continues, it will also affect them."
Pointing to the memorial in Fang Xuanling's hand, he said: "Listen, listen, everyone, 'when one side is in trouble, support from all sides' should we feel ashamed?"
Changsun Wuji stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, it is indeed a good thing for the people to clear the snow on their own initiative, but it can also easily lead to trouble. Should we send soldiers to check on them?"
"No need!"
This time it was Fang Xuanling. He handed the memorial to everyone and asked them to read it.
"This is a memorial from the Chang'an County Magistrate. The good minister Ji Song has been assigned. Each family head will lead his own family, and he will send a personal soldier to assist him, with ten people in a team and a hundred people in a team. The people are also very cooperative. .”
After finishing speaking, he saluted Li Shimin and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, our army cannot take any action now. We only need to send a small number of soldiers to guide the people."
Li Shimin also nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that we, the monarchs and ministers, do not need to discuss it anymore. The people have already made a decision for us."
"Okay, let's all go home and lead everyone to clear the snow!"
Then he said to Cheng Yaojin: "Know your integrity!"
"Chen is here!"
"You go find Yuchi now. The two of you will control Chang'an's troops and organize them to clear the snow in the most dangerous places."
"Finally, tell the soldiers that I want him to fight this time, and the enemy..." He looked at the white sky outside the palace and said loudly: "The enemy is the heavy snow in the sky. Ask them for me if they have the confidence to defeat it. !”
Cheng Yaojin's expression also became serious. After making a loud promise, he strode away.
"Your Majesty, I will impeach the good Marquis Ji Song!"
Li Shimin suddenly turned around and looked at an official below.
After hearing this, the people around the official stayed away silently and showed sympathetic expressions.
"Oh? Why are you impeaching him?"
Li Shimin said it very softly, even like a spring breeze.
But as long as the old ministers who knew him well looked at the official as if he were a dead man.
This person is only a seventh-level censor, so why should he impeach a prince?They don't believe it if there is no one instigating it.
But the censor seemed not to know, and said excitedly: "I impeach the good minister Ji Song on suspicion of treason!"
"hiss"
Everyone took a breath of air, how much hatred there was, and they actually put the label of rebellion on Ji Song's head as soon as he came up.
Before everyone could react, he continued: "Good Lord Jisong has neither an imperial edict nor the right to command troops, yet he has gathered thousands of people in a short period of time. What does he want to do?"
Then he knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, please arrest him quickly, otherwise it will be too late!"
"Who said that the Marquis Hao has no military power? The official position of General Zuo Xiaowei Yulin Zhonglang is still his!"
Du Ruhui narrowed his eyes and said.
He has now sentenced this guy to death, and this is not how he seeks death.
Ji Song rebelled?Even if you tell me this, some people will believe it!
Furthermore, now that people are organizing people to provide disaster relief, but now you want to chop off their heads, do you really think that all the people in Chang'an are weak?Aren't you afraid of provoking a popular uprising? You must check carefully when you go down to find out who instigated it. If he has bad intentions, he will disrupt the rhythm of the Tang Dynasty!
Li Shimin obviously knew what was going on here. He came to this person and said in a solemn voice: "Is this what you want?"
The censor actually said in an awe-inspiring manner: "As a censor, this is my responsibility. Your Majesty, please be careful!"
Li Shimin was silent for a long time, then pointed at the censor and said: "I am so crazy now that I dare to talk nonsense in the court. I will beat him out with a stick."
"promise!"
The soldiers outside the palace ignored the censor's wails and beat him out with sticks.
Li Gang wanted to speak for a long time, but was always stopped by his friend Kong Yingda.
Seeing the emperor's behavior, he also breathed a sigh of relief, just be okay, be okay!
But at the same time, he was also surprised by Ji Song's boldness. He did it without any hesitation.
Do you mean that he is confident and fearless, or do you mean that he is bold and cautious?
People who wanted to watch the fun saw that there was nothing to do, so they went back to prepare to clear the snow.
Now that the imperial edict has been issued, no matter whether you are willing or not, you must take action. Otherwise, do you really think that the imperial edict is a child's play?
Thus, the farce ended before it even started! (End of this chapter)
