Chapter 472
"Your Majesty, I would like to donate a thousand shi of grain to appease the people."
"The minister donated five hundred stones."
……
Those who can get into this position are not a fool, so they naturally understand how to choose is very beneficial to them.
And those who are not corrupt, very depressed.
So many people have donated, do they donate?
If you don't donate, others will share the emperor's worries. If they don't donate, don't they want to share the emperor's worries?
No way, donate it.
All civil and military officials in the entire hall donated generously, the least donated fifty shi, and the most donated a thousand shi.
On the whole, tens of thousands of shi of grain have been obtained.
Li Shimin was calm on the surface, but he was happy in his heart.
With a word of mouth, tens of thousands of shi grains are in hand.
This food is enough for an army of tens of thousands of people for a month.
"Zhuqing understands righteousness so well, I feel very relieved, and I won't check the account." Li Shimin laughed.
The goal has been achieved, so naturally there will be no investigation.
But this is only temporary, so many people objected, but it strengthened Li Shimin's determination to check the accounts.
But not now, when he got rid of Xue Yantuo and Xi Turk, he would have plenty of time to get rid of these people slowly.
……
Qinghe Cuijia
Cui Hao's second letter arrived, and Cui Yi hurriedly sent it to Cui Lingdao.
Cui Lingdao didn't think too much about the court selling grain to the common people at a low price.
On the contrary, I am very interested in the content behind it.
"Look at the content behind." Cui Lingdao handed the letter to Cui Yi.
Cui Yi took the letter and read it, and said, "Lin Xuan is actually going to Lingnan? Dad, do you want him not to return to Chang'an?"
Cui Lingdao nodded first, then shook his head, and said: "The old man naturally wants Lin Xuan to die, but the powerful thing in his hand that can cause a loud noise has not been figured out yet. You can't touch him."
"Father, it's a pity to give up such a good opportunity like this." Cui Yi said.
Cui Lingdao said: "It's not convenient for us to do it, but we can let others do it."
Cui Yi said: "Father, what do you mean, let Feng Ang do it?"
Cui Lingdao sneered and said, "Feng An was one of the vassals at the beginning. He surrendered to Datang without any fight. Later, in order to dispel Li Shimin's suspicion, he even sent his favorite son to Chang'an as a hostage. Do you think he is the only one? How dare you kill Li Shimin's son-in-law?"
With Feng An's courage, Lin Xuan probably sent someone to protect him when he went, so how dare he do anything to him?
"What does father mean?" Cui Yi asked suspiciously.
Cui Lingdao said: "The old man remembers that although the son Feng An sent to Chang'an is his favorite son, he is not the eldest son, right?"
Cui Yi nodded and said, "That's right, Feng An's eldest son is named Feng Zhichen. Although he is the eldest son, his mother is dead, so Feng An doesn't like him."
"You send someone to contact him secretly. If he can destroy the cooperation between Lin Xuan and Feng An, the Cui family can marry a woman to him as his wife. If he can let Lin Xuan die in Lingnan, the Cui family will fully support him and let him inherit The title." Cui Lingdao said.
"Father, let Feng Zhiyan destroy the cooperation between Lin Xuan and Feng An, he might dare, let him kill Lin Xuan, he shouldn't have the guts, right? Just destroy the cooperation between Lin Xuan and Feng An, and marry the daughter of the family to him, isn't it? Is it cheaper for him?" Cui Yi said.
As long as Feng Zhichen is not a fool, he can understand the consequences of killing Lin Xuan.
Although the Cui family's promise is very tempting, but their lives are gone, no matter how good the promise is, it is useless.
Cui Yi felt that it was impossible for Feng Zhichen to do anything to Lin Xuan.
"Do you think Li Shimin was fully prepared when he launched the Xuanwumen Incident? He didn't, but he had to fight. At that time, Li Yuan transferred his confidants away from Chang'an. Many people felt that Li Shimin had no chance, and they all supported Li Jiancheng. , Li Shimin knew that if he didn't fight, he would have no chance, so he had to fight."
"The same goes for Feng Zhichen. He is the eldest son. Will others let him go if he inherits the title? He has no choice. The old man is afraid that he is not smart enough, and he hasn't realized it yet. He feels that he hasn't reached that point yet. In this way, he On the contrary, they will not agree." Cui Lingdao said.
Feng An has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, if he can help Feng Zhichen take power, it is equivalent to controlling those tens of thousands of troops.
Even if Lin Xuan didn't go to Lingnan, he would find a way to help Feng Zhichen.
"Father, I understand, let's make arrangements now," Cui Yi said.
"Wait." Cui Lingdao stopped Cui Yi and said, "Tell Feng Zhichen that Lin Xuan has a very good relationship with that proton in Chang'an, so put some pressure on him."
…………
The Chinese New Year is only a few days away, and Chang'an is very lively.
There are people entertaining guests every day, and sometimes Lin Xuan can't refuse, so he has to pass.
Lin Xuan almost vomited from drinking these days.
On this day, Lin Xuan came to the Shu Palace.
For Li Ke's banquet, Lin Xuan was quite surprised, hesitated for a while, and chose to attend the banquet.
Li Ke's fief is in Shu, and Lin Xuan wants to go to Shu to catch a few pandas and bring them back to play.
This thing is a national treasure for future generations, and it is impossible for private individuals to keep it.
In ancient times, there were not so many restrictions. It is really unreasonable for Lin Xuan not to take this opportunity to play with a few.
When the time comes, you will definitely have to deal with Li Ke when you go to Shu.
"Zi Chu is here, please come inside." Li Ke greeted Lin Xuan at the door with a warm smile on his face.
"His Royal Highness, please."
Lin Xuan was half a body behind Li Ke, and followed Li Ke into the Shu Palace.
The Shu Palace was the residence of Yang Guang when he was the King of Jin.
It's not luxurious, it's very different from Yang Guangjiao's extravagant and lustful style.
In fact, when Yang Guang was still King Jin, he was very good at disguising.
According to historical records, Yang Jian once visited Yang Guang's mansion and saw that most of the strings of the musical instruments were cut off and dusty, as if they were not used.
Seeing that Yang Jian didn't like extravagance, Yang Guang pretended to be himself even more. At that time, many people called him benevolent and filial.
Yang Guang's former residence was very simple but normal.
If Li Shimin gave this mansion to another prince, it might be because he doesn't like that prince.
But given to Li Ke, the representative meaning is different.
Li Ke is Yang Guang's grandson. Li Shimin bestowed Yang Guang's former residence on him, which shows his love for him.
When I came to the main hall, there were already many people sitting in it.
Seeing Li Ke coming in, he quickly got up and saluted.
"Everyone sit down." Li Ke said with a smile.
Lin Xuan was ushered to the first seat on the right by the maid and sat down.
Li Ke did not invite the heirs of those princes and nobles, nor did he invite the heirs of the former Sui officials.
It can be said that, except for Li Ke, Lin Xuan has the highest status among all the people.
Li Ke's identity is more sensitive, he dare not invite the heirs of those princes, nor dare to openly have contacts with the former Sui Dynasty survivors.
In fact, he wanted to invite Lin Xuan, but he invited Lin Xuan alone. Afraid of being misunderstood, he invited some people with insensitive identities to make up the number.
"I would like to offer a toast to all of you." Li Ke raised his glass and said.
Everyone quickly picked up their wine glasses, motioned to Li Ke from a distance, and drank it down in one gulp.
Next, Li Ke recruited some dancers, and the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic.
Lin Xuan originally thought that Li Ke would say something to him, but after the whole banquet was over, Li Ke just invited him to drink and chatted for a while.
After the banquet, Li Ke personally sent Lin Xuan out of the palace.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for the banquet." Lin Xuan cupped his hands and said.
"Haha, I'm going back to the fief after the next year. When you and Lizhi get married, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back to participate. At that time, I will send someone to deliver the gift." Li Ke laughed.
