Chapter 611 The ruthless hand of the queen

"The mother is relieved that since the child dares to speak, he has a corresponding grasp. If things are not harmonious, the child should bear his guilt."

Li Xian had already planned all aspects, but he was not afraid of negligence. He was not afraid of the pressure and difficulties of the Queen Wu. He raised his eyebrows and answered firmly.

"Okay, there is a saying of Xian'er. I'm going to this banquet. After saying that, when will the banquet be held?"

Gao Zong only cares about whether the disaster can be saved at this time. As for the rest, he didn't think so much. Hearing that Li Xian dared to make a promise, he was very excited, and he did not give Wu Hou a chance to open his mouth again. He patted a few times and excitedly accepted Li Xian's request.

"At the end of tomorrow, the child is also ready to invite all kinds of Zaifu and Shangshu to witness this matter together, and be willing to ask his father and mother for permission."

Li Xian didn't look at Wu Hou's gloomy face that could almost drip out of water at all, and pleaded again while the iron was hot.

"Well, okay, I'm sure!"

Gao Zong didn't talk much and made a direct promise.

"Thank you, father, for your kindness. The child left first."

Seeing that the matter had been done, Li Xian did not want to delay more, so he stood up, bowed and made a big speech.

"Well, let's go."

As long as the current crisis can be solved, Gao Zong will be satisfied. He doesn't want to see Wu Hou and Li Xian, the mother and son make too much trouble. Even if Gao Zong wants to see the mother and son form a stable balance in the court, but making too much trouble is not what Gao Zong wants. At this time, when he sees Li Xian want to leave, I am happy to push the boat along the water, and there is no reason to be infert.

"Thank you, Father."

The fight that should be fought, the fight that should be fought, and the universe in the sleeves are not harmful, but when the shrew scolds the street, then Li Xian is grateful to Bumin. Everything he should get has been caught. Li Xian is also too lazy to be angry with the Empress Wu. After bowing and thanking, he immediately withdrew from the room and turned back to the East Palace by himself. It is.

"Your Majesty, disaster relief is a social matter. How can it be so careless? If it provokes a joke, won't you laugh at the Fang family?"

For Li Xian's sudden invitation banquet, the more Queen Wu thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She was unwilling to go to the appointment, but this decision was made by Gao Zong, but it was difficult for her to directly oppose it. While she was thinking about a countermeasure, Li Xian had already left. Queen Wu was unwilling and complained in front of Gao Zong.

"Well, that's what Mei Niang said. It's just that it's rare to show filial piety. Let him try it for the time being, but let's not talk about this disaster relief."

Gao Zong did not hear the meaning of Queen Wu. He thought that Queen Wu was really worried about Li Xian's move, so he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart. After frowning and thinking about it, he still planned to go to the banquet, but he decided to keep Li Xian's disaster relief secret first.

"So... Well, let's take a look first."

As soon as he heard Gao Zong's words, it was difficult for Queen Wu to say anything more. She could only reluctantly agree with Gao Zong's opinion, but at the moment of bowing his head, a trace of fine light flashed in his eyes...

"You know, His Royal Highness is going to open the warehouse tomorrow, just at noon!"

"Really? Isn't it a lie?"

"How can it be? It has spread in the government, saying that His Royal Highness has received the imperial edict. The grain will be released at noon tomorrow, and the people in the West City are rushing to the South City now."

"That's true. Your Highness is such a great saint. I dare not miss it tomorrow!"

"Yes, yes, go together, go together!"

......

The fastest running in the world is not a horse, nor the wind, but a rumor. Although Gao Zong has issued a silence order and does not allow the people in the palace to mention Li Xian's request for disaster relief, I don't know why the news still spread. The more it spread, the more crazy it is. Countless disaster victims in the city are crowded to the south of the city where the imperial city is located, and the original The four gates of Luoyang, which should have been screened, were somehow released, allowing disaster victims from all over the world to pour into the city. There was only one goal. That was the East Palace where the prince was located. Before sunset, the matter was getting bigger and bigger.

"Your Highness, Dongcheng refugees are gathering to the south of the city, and the number of people is estimated to have reached more than 30,000."

"Your Highness, the refugees in the West City are coming crazily, and the number has exceeded 30,000!"

"Your Highness, the South Street is full of disaster victims, and the number is still increasing!"

......

With the emergence of the wave of refugees, the huge "Mingyi" system has been fully operational, monitoring every move of the refugee wave. The news has come back one after another. Under the severe situation, the atmosphere in the study of the East Palace has been depressing. Zhang Jianzhi, Zhuang Yong and others are all extremely dignified. God was full of unconcealed worries, but Li Xian's face was as calm as water. He sat quietly behind the copywriting and quietly listened to the reports of various sentinels.

Are you angry? A little, but absolutely not much. Although he knows that behind this matter is that Queen Wu must be making trouble, Li Xian will never focus on useless emotional catharsis. At that time, he will be furious, but he will not concentrate on the difficulties in front of him. Li Xian thinks so and does it. The problem is to think so. Passing through it is not a simple thing. Just because the disaster victims are already desperate. If they can't handle it well, it is very likely to cause a terrible disaster. Then Li Xianke will really become a sinner of the community.

"Deng Cheng, how much food can be mobilized in the firm?"

In the face of the disaster victims who are waiting to be fed, it is unconvincing by explanation alone, and the same is true of empty promises. Now, if you don't take out some dry goods, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have a chance to mediate. Li Xian knows this very well, so even if he knows that "Deng Ji Company" donated not long ago. After a large number of grain, Li Xian still had to reach out to the firm again.

"If you go back to Your Highness, after deducting the daily Rumi of the business mate, there are only less than 2,700 stones left."

Although it had been expected that Li Xian would reach out to the firm again, when Li Xian asked questions, Deng Cheng couldn't help but feel bitter, and some of them answered helplessly.

"Well..."

2,700 stones are 324,000 catties, which sounds a lot. When piled up, it is enough to fill a huge warehouse. But for more than 200,000 disaster victims, even if it is saved, it is just two or three days. With such a little grain, it is obviously far from dealing with such a serious disaster. As soon as he smelled it, Li Xian's head couldn't help but turn big several times.

"Your Highness, there should be some grain storage at the end of the household department. If you can move some out first, you may be able to reach the arrival of the fleet."

Seeing that Li Xian was so embarrassed, he knew that there was little hope, but Zhuang Yong still tentatively proposed.

"The Ministry of Household? You don't have to count on that end. Even if I go, I will need a hundred stones at most, which is not very useful.

Li Xian knows that there is still some surplus grain in the household department, but there is not much grain in the first place, and it is still in the hands of the Empress Wu. If you want to expect the Queen Wu to be grateful, it is better to expect the sows to climb the tree more realistically. Although this disaster situation came suddenly, with the memory of his previous life, Li Xian has already predicted it. In fact, as early as a few months ago, Li Xian had made a lot of secret deployments for this matter, in order to take this opportunity to enter the situation in one fell swoop. At this time, several "Deng Ji Company" fleets were rushing along the canal and coastline to Dongdu and Jiaozhou. As soon as the fleet arrived, the disaster situation was immediately Relief, but the plan can't catch up with the rapid change. Li Xian never thought that Queen Wu dared to risk the anti-disaster. At this time, she gave herself such a disaster. In this way, the arrival time of the fleet could not catch up. In this case, if he wants to overcome the difficulties, he had to find another way. As for Do you want food from the mad scourge of Queen Wu? There is really no possibility.

"Mr. Zhuang, can you urge the fleet again to speed up the speed?"

Although Li Xian did not explain why he could not get food from the household department, Zhang Jianzhi had a good idea in his heart. Seeing that he couldn't get through the official road, he had to turn his idea back to the fleets under the control of Mingdi.

"Good to you, sir, I know that my subordinates have issued an order, but the nearest fleet is still more than 130 miles away from Dongdu, which is day and night, and it will take five days at the earliest."

Zhuang Yong has already done what he should have done. At this time, no matter how capable Zhuang Yong is, he can't imagine it. In the face of Zhang Jianzhi's inquiry, Zhuang Yong can only respond with a wry smile.

Two days, only two days are away. It's really not a long time. In the blink of an eye, it passes. The problem is that the disaster victims can't wait. If the disaster relief is halfway through and suddenly there is no food, the consequences are unimaginable. If the disaster victims really make trouble, I'm afraid that the whole thing will be in chaos. Li Xianshi I dare not imagine such a violent/turbulent scene.

It's careless. It's really a little careless. Li Xian didn't even count that the Empress Wu would be so crazy. For his own self-interest, he dared to pretend to overthrow the society. He was really crazy to the extreme! At the thought of this, Li Xianzhen couldn't wait to cut the old thief woman with a knife. He was just angry, but he couldn't solve the actual problem in front of him. How to start made Li Xian a headache.

"Deng Cheng, contact the major families in the city immediately and buy grain at all costs. This matter is fully cooperated by Mr. Zhuang. If there are people who store grain and hoard it without selling it, don't need to pay attention to it. Report to our palace first, and I will give him an explanation!"

The headache is a headache, but the time is not waiting for anyone. Li Xian did not dare to hesitate any more. He looked solemn and cold.

"No!"

Since Li Xian had made a decision, a group of people did not dare to neglect it a little. They bowed and agreed in unison, and then dispersed...

At the time of Xu, the sky was completely dark. With the ringing of several bells, the gates of the imperial city were closed. It was time to drop the key, but the Empress Wu did not rest. She still sat behind the pile of folds, but she was not as busy with fast books as usual, but sat quietly, as if In a daze, but a small footstep sounded outside the hall. The Queen Wu's sight swept over quickly, and there was a faint light in her eyes. It was not until she saw that the person who turned from behind the screen was the eunuch Cheng Denggao. The sharp light in Queen Wu's eyes converened slightly, but she did not open her mouth. He asked, but raised his eyebrows and put on an inquiring expression.

"My wife, everything has been arranged according to your instructions."

Cheng Denggao knew what Wu Hou was going to ask, so he quickly trotted to the front and reported in a low voice.

"Well, just go down."

Queen Wu obviously had great trust in Cheng Denggao's ability to do things. She did not ask about the specific situation. She just quietly ordered Cheng Denggao and sent him out. After sitting in a daze for a long time, she grew up like a re-release, stood up and walked to the east window. In front, he looked at the direction of the East Palace with a sad expression...
