Chapter 368 (2/2)
If the emperor's father insists on his own expedition to Liaodong this year, grain from liyangcang will be transported to Liaodong sooner or later. Therefore, as long as there is a shortage of grain in liyangcang, it will certainly be found out.
Li Zhi didn't want to summon Ji Wang to Luoyang palace for questioning because of this little food. Even if Ji Wang was greedy for ink, there was nothing wrong with this little matter. So after hearing Li Hong's words, he just nodded slightly, and looked calm and self-confident. It seemed that he didn't want to continue to chew his tongue around this matter.But some people want to hold on to this point, that is, Li Hong's dragon mother, Li Zhi's Dragon Queen.
What Li Hong didn't know was that although Di Renjie and Lou Shide had no personal enmity in history, di Renjie once accused Lou Shide, which eventually led to Lou's demotion. Later, after Di Renjie took out Lou Shide's memorial in Wumei, di Renjie felt guilty to Lou Shide.
Now, when Di Renjie excluded Lou Shide, di Renjie once told Wu Mei that Lou Shide was taking advantage of the power of the governor of Henan to seek benefits for others. Because he was going to be abandoned in luocang, he began to be unscrupulously greedy for food.
What's more, di Renjie has more accurate information than Li Hong on this incident. That is, all the people in the court have guessed that after his majesty intended to go to Liaodong in spring this year, Li Yangcang began to make up for the deficit in a hurry. Therefore, di Renjie discovered the deficit.
In addition, di Renjie also knew that the 100000 stone grain returned to luocang was to be sent to liyangcang. Therefore, di Renjie told Wu Mei that if his majesty wants to fight Liaodong personally, he should first solve the problem of liyangcang's deficit. Otherwise, if his majesty drives his own expedition to Liaodong, if the grain and grass can't continue, it will not make his majesty return without success.
Wu Mei explains to Li Zhi why Di Renjie told her that she hoped to persuade his majesty not to let his majesty ride on the expedition before Li Yangcang's deficit was made up.
When Li Hong heard that long Ma said that long father really wanted to fight against Liaodong, he immediately looked at him with incredible eyes to retort.
”Shut up! I have agreed to your decision not to send troops to help the restoration of the country, so you have no right to speak about my own expedition to Liaodong! ” Li Zhi looked at the unfilial son to stop, and immediately said in a cold voice.
”But The empress mother said, Li Yangcang has a problem. How can you levy Liaodong without grain? ” Li Hong still blinked his innocent eyes. Knowing that di Renjie had already told his mother that Li Yangcang had a problem, he would not have been frozen by the Luoshui river for more than an hour.
”If there is any problem with liyangcang, I will ask someone to find out. How much should I make up for the deficit?”
”But In Henan and Guanzhong last year, after the Shangyuan Festival, the common people could no longer eat enough
”Hanjiacang has plenty of grain. As a Shangshu order, don't you know that when you go back to luocang and have no grain, you should produce grain from hanjiacang?” In order to fulfill his lifelong dream, Li Zhi would rather give food from hanjiacang to help the people, but also to fill liyangcang's deficit in case.
”To know is to know, but I just don't know why the grain in liyangcang is in short supply, and there is no famine in Weizhou. How can there be food shortage?” A man frowned and pondered, but his mother could see through it. The unfilial son led his father to liyangcang. Was it man-made deficit.
Li Zhi and Wu Mei look at each other. They have been husband and wife for many years. Their tacit understanding is no less than that between Li Hong and Bai Chun. They immediately think that the unfilial son wants to intervene in the deficit of liyangcang.
What's more, what worries Li Zhi is that if the unfilial son goes to Weizhou to investigate the deficit, and he wants to drive himself to Liaodong, then who will help him supervise the country!?
Therefore, even if he sent a pig to check liyangcang's deficit, Li Zhi would not let his unfilial son go to Weizhou to check liyangcang's deficit.
Wu Mei looked at Lizhi's eyes for help, so she said calmly, ”you don't have to worry about liyangcang's deficit. As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the shangshuling of Shangshu Province, your duty is to be on the court, not to be entangled in the trivial matters. I have sent Di Renjie to investigate and deal with this matter.”
”Ah? Well, isn't Di Renjie very busy recently... ”
”It's too busy for you to check! You are the crown prince, do you know? ” Li Zhi grabs the feather duster in Wu Mei's hand. For the first time, he finds that he is really annoying as an unfilial son. This kind of broken thing has been tangled here. Isn't he just trying to prevent himself from completing his dream of driving in person!
Wu Mei didn't care that Li Zhi had taken away the feather duster in her hand. She waved in front of Li Hong like a demonstration. She said faintly, ”Li Hong, since your father and Emperor are determined to fight against him, should you, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, do something consistent with your name of filial piety and kindness?”
