Chapter 618 The Next City

"Your Highness, I'm lucky not to disgrace my mission!"

Deng Cheng couldn't help but feel a little excited to calm down the mess so quickly, but he never dared to show it in front of Li Xian. Instead, he made a big salute respectfully and calmly reported it.

"Well, there is Mr. Deng. Let's get ready. I'll go with this palace later."

Li Xian is also in a good mood for being able to get through the tide of disaster victims so smoothly, but he is also not very excited. Just because he knows very well that this is only the first difficulty, the next road is also not easy to walk. If he can't satisfy the disaster victims, the rest of the fun is still not much.

"No, I would like to obey Your Highness's order."

The emperor can't be seen by anyone. Not to mention ordinary people, it is extremely difficult for court officials to meet the saint once. It is not to say below the fifth grade. That is, it is not even qualified for the previous dynasty. But even if it is a member of the fourth or fifth grade, except for the early morning, it may not be able to meet the saint once a year. The question is that the face saint is a great honor. No matter how calm Deng Cheng is, at this time, he is so excited that it is difficult to control himself. Fortunately, he had already predicted this possibility, so he was not shocked by the shocking news on the spot, but the voice of answering was also full of vibra, and the excitement was overflowing.

"Hmm."

Li Xian didn't talk any more nonsense, but nodded and said softly. He turned around and walked towards the palace gate. His back was as towering like a mountain, which made people have an impulse to worship at first sight.

Gao Zong has been the emperor for so many years, and he has never encountered the thing that he was forced into the palace by the disaster victims like today. He couldn't help but be angry and anxious, and his face was ugly. He sat in the pavilion with a blue face and gasped for breath, but he didn't say a word. When the anger burned out, the courtiers all over the garden were all Like a cicada, no one dared to disturb the holy driver at this time. The huge back garden was as quiet as a ghost.

"Report, Your Majesty the Emperor, the Empress, the victims have retreated, and all of them have retreated!"

In the unbearable silence, a little eunuch rushed into the back garden and rushed to the pavilion. He couldn't even take a breath, so he shouted with ecstasy.

"Real?"

In fact, Gao Zong is not worried about not being able to repel the tide of disaster victims. After all, no matter how many unarmed the disaster victims are, they encountering a heavily armed army, which is just some lambs to be slaughtered. What really worries him is his reputation in the history of youth. For nothing else, the massacre of the disaster victims can only be the evaluation of a faint king. Gao Zong I didn't expect my life's name to be ruined like this. At this time, when I heard that the disaster victims had dispersed, I was really surprised and happy. Under the excitement, I was already standing up and asked with a surprised face.

"It is true that the victims have retreated. His Royal Highness invited the big shopkeeper of the 'Deng Ji Company', promised to release food to the victims, and promised to release it directly until the rain, and the victims dispersed. Now there is no more disaster victims on South Street."

Seeing that Gao Zong was so excited, the little eunuch did not dare to delay at all and hurried to briefly describe the situation.

"Okay, okay, okay, this Deng Da shopkeeper is really a good method. I have also heard of his name of righteousness and wealth. Yes, yes, if I have a few more Deng Da shopkeepers in the Tang Dynasty, I can save a lot of mind!"

The "stupid king" hat hanging above his head is finally about to decline, and Gao Zong's heart is much more stable. He praises Deng Chenglai for his reputation.

"Your Majesty, help me in the Tang Dynasty this day!"

"Yes, yes, your majesty's holy virtue can bring the heroes of the world back to their hearts. This is the bright omen of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty!"

"It's true. Your Majesty's holy virtue spreads the world with the help of virtue. It's really gratifying."

......

Hearing that the tide of disaster victims dissipated, the ministers were already very happy. At this time, they saw that Gao Zong was in a good mood and were happy to agree with them. A series of flattery and high hats were all out of the cage smoothly. Hearing that Gao Zong was happy, his hands with long beard trembled slightly with excitement. .

"I have met my father and mother."

Just as the ministers were flattering, Li Xian, who was sweating heavily, walked into the back garden, walked quickly to the pavilion, and made a respectful salute to Gao Zong and Empress Wu.

"You don't have to be polite. You've done a good job, and I'm very satisfied."

When Gao Zong was in a good mood, he liked everything, not to mention that he appreciated Li Xian's talent very much. At this time, he saw that Li Xian was sweating all over, and his heart was full of love and pity, which gave a high evaluation with a smile.

"Thank you for your praise. It's all thanks to my father's Hong En, and I have the help of such heroes as Deng Da, the 'Deng Ji's business name' Deng Da shopkeeper. My son is not running errands, but I really dare not take credit for it."

In the face of Gao Zong's high evaluation, Li Xian was very cautious and did not mean to be proud at all. He bowed modestly and made a big salute, and did not hesitate to push all the credit clean.

"Xian'er is too modest. I know this matter in my heart. I know people well, and I'm not proud of merit. It's the way of a real gentleman. I'm very happy. After saying that, how can I reward you."

Gao Zong was extremely satisfied with Li Xian's humble attitude. He reached out with a smile and brushed the long beard on his chest, which made a lot of ministers and workers feel a little strange.

As soon as they heard Gao Zong's words, the ministers were stunned. Since ancient times, there has been no reward that can be chosen by others. Gao Zong's move is obviously contrary to common sense. Of course, he was stunned. The ministers and workers did not dare to talk nonsense. It was a small matter to disturb Gao Zong's prosperity. He was smart by Li Xian's method. The prince remembered that it was not a funny thing, so the ministers and workers looked at each other and pretended to be wooden people. As soon as this situation came out, Queen Wu was a little anxious. However, in front of the courtiers, she did not want to jump out and sing the opposite tune in person. In desperation, she had no choice but to quickly turn to Jia Chaoyin. Make a look.

"Your Majesty, although the disaster victims are temporarily retreating now, the disaster situation still exists. If there is no follow-up means, I'm afraid things will still change. I think that it is not yet the time to celebrate the reward, and I hope Your Majesty will make it clear."

Seeing that Queen Wu was going to use himself as a gunman, Jia Chaoyin's heart was really more bitter than eating Huang Lian, but he had no choice but to flash out of the side with his scalp and said something worriedly.

"Your Majesty, what Jia Aiqing said is not unreasonable. The disaster must be handled carefully in the end. The so-called one thing is not annoying. Xian'er said that she could deal with it early, so this matter will be left to Xian'er."

With Jia Chaoyin's continge, Queen Wu also had the opportunity to push the boat along the water. Under this mouth, he once again rudely pressed all the heavy burden on Li Xian's shoulder.

"Well..."

Disaster relief is certainly what Gao Zong wants, but Gao Zong also knows the fact that there is no food in the court. If he wants him to hand over these problems to Li Xian regardless, Gao Zong himself can't bear to do it. Even if this suggestion comes from the mouth of the Empress Wu, Gao Zong did not dare to give it immediately and hesitated. However, he refused to make a decision.

"Father, if you can be valued by your mother, it is the blessing of my son and minister. I dare not resign from the disaster relief, but my son has several difficulties. If I can get the approval of my father, I will be sure to get through this difficulty."

Li Xian spent so much energy and painstakingly deployed in order to seize power through the disaster relief. He was not afraid of the difficulties of the Empress Wu. However, when it was time to bargain, Li Xian would never be soft. When he saw Gao Zong hesitate there, Li Xian immediately stood up and took the initiative to deal with the matter. Love is in my arms, but it is also necessary to take the opportunity to raise some conditions.

"Oh? What's the matter with it? Let's talk about it and listen to me.

This long-determination drought has already annoyed Gao Zong. Coupled with the previous scene of disturbances by the disaster victims, Gao Zong's heart to solve this matter is a little more urgent. At this time, he heard that Li Xian said that he was ten times sure, and he would not be moved. He wanted to accept Li Xian's request, but he was worried that Li Xian's request was too much. It is inevitable that some people will gossip. After thinking about it, he cautiously asked.

"Father, Emperor Mingjian, I think that the release of food is a means of disaster relief, but it is not fundamental. It can only save the urgent need for a while, but it can't deal with the next disaster situation. The regular closing and Yicang system set up by my dynasty seems reasonable, but in fact it is often in form. Not only does it often have a loss, but Yicang is almost useless. Of course There are reasons for poor management and incomplete system, but more are the lack of grain production, which is not caused by the continuation. If you want to solve this problem fundamentally, you have to start from two aspects. First, formulate new regulations from the top down and select talents, and the second is to promote good seeds. From this point of view, although this disaster is dangerous, it has not changed. It is a good opportunity for reform. If the father can trust the power of his ministers, he is willing to lead this change to put an end to future troubles.

Li Xian was not in a hurry to say how to solve the current disaster, but first analyzed the reason why the current system was unable to deal with the disaster from the root, and openly stretched out his hand to take power.

"This is all in hindsight. At present, the danger is still unresolved. Don't you think too far, huh?"

As soon as he heard Li Xian say that he was about to grab power, Wuhou's lungs were almost exploded, but in front of everyone, it was not easy to lose his temper, but he never wanted Li Xian to get his hand so easily. Without waiting for Gao Zong to speak, he preemptively interrupted.

"The mother's lesson is true, but it is often said that people don't have far-term worries, and they must have close concerns. This is the truth as the saying goes that wind and things should be taken for a long time. Only by preventing micro can it be eliminated, which is not contrary to dealing with the current disaster."

Li Xian was not timid at all because of the gloomy words of the Empress Wu. He bowed to the Empress Wu and was impeccably respectful, but there was no retreat between his words, and there was a lot of confrontational words.

"Ss..."

As soon as Li Xian said this, it was clear that he was fighting with the Empress Wu in public. Seeing this, all the courtiers couldn't help taking a cold breath, and the atmosphere in the back garden suddenly tightened up again...
