Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 159
"Report!"

All the ministers were circulating a chapter on the meaning of punctuation marks written by Xue Lang, discussing in low voices, and suddenly there was an urgent report from the guards.The Hall of Hanyuan, which had some discussions, immediately fell silent, and the saint raised his head from Xue Lang's melody: "Why are you panicking?"

The little yellow gate came out more and more, and went out to check immediately. After a while, they came in quickly: "Report to the saint, there is a report from the commander of the forbidden army outside that the people in the outer city are gathering in the inner city, and the people are begging to see the saint! There are more and more gatherings, how to deal with them, ask the sage to show me!"

Li Yuan's face was obviously stunned: "Why are the people gathered in the inner city?"

Prince Jian Jian immediately said: "I asked the sage to hide in the palace, and sent Yuan to protect him from the forbidden army. We also sent the guards of the Nanya to guard outside the palace. It will not be too late to discuss why the people gathered and whether they forced the palace."

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, glanced at the crown prince, bowed his head and said: "I report to the sage, I think there is no need to evade. The sage issued an edict to the world to publicize Xue Lang's offering of auspiciousness to the people. Just now, the team of auspicious offerings went from the posthouse to the gate of the palace. The common people rushed to watch, thinking that the high yield of sweet potatoes had already spread, so they gathered outside the palace gate, asking to see the saint, and congratulating the saint on his great joy."

Li Gang immediately said: "The king of Qin's words are justified, and the minister seconded his opinion."

Xiao Yu also held up the wat board and said: "The minister also seconded the proposal."

Xue Lang also said: "My minister also seconded the King of Qin."

Li Yuan glanced at several people, pondered for a while, and ordered the little Huangmen next to him: "Quickly order someone to investigate!"

"Here!"

Xiao Huangmen rushed away.Li Yuan strode back to the throne, with a solemn expression, no emotion could be seen, the huge Hanyuan Hall was extremely quiet, and a needle could be heard.

"Shimin."

"The minister is here."

Li Yuan asked: "Why do you think that the people are congratulating me instead of forcing the palace?"

Li Shimin said: "The sage, I think that the world has been in chaos for many years, the army has been in chaos for years, and the people have no means of living. Only when the country is established in the Tang Dynasty and the Quartet is pacified, the people can live a stable life. The people outside the city are all people who have survived the famine. You should know Peace is not easy, how can you do such a rebellious thing as forcing the palace?"

King Qin has a strategic vision!Xue Lang silently praised him in his heart, and by the way silently sympathized with the prince Li Jiancheng, who was once again compared by the King of Qin. He wondered if the prince's face hurt, and he was slapped in the face when he just said it... Tsk, the prince is so naughty !

Li Yuan asked again: "Xiao Qing, Li Qing, do you both think so?"

Xiao Yu replied respectfully: "To the sage, that's right."

Li Gangdao: "There have been years of military turmoil, and things like selling children and selling girls have happened from time to time. Only when the Tang Dynasty established the country can we have a peaceful life. The people are human beings, so how could they not make it difficult for themselves!"

Li Yuan nodded and looked at Xue Lang: "Xue Qing thinks so too?"

Seeing him, Xue Lang said embarrassedly: "My sage, I don't have the foresight of King Qin, Nei Shi Ling, and Li Shangshu. I only know that people depend on food. Although the weather has been good in recent years, there have been years of military chaos. There are very few people who can fill their stomachs, so the people’s livelihood must be very difficult. Although the establishment of the Tang Dynasty allowed the people to live a stable life, it is basically impossible for the people to recover in just a few years. For ordinary people, how to fill their stomachs Still the first piece of the puzzle hanging over your head."

After finishing speaking, Xue Lang paused, took a sneak peek at everyone, and saw that everyone seemed to be thinking about it, and then continued: "The matter of presenting auspiciousness has been announced to the world by the sage, and the common people are naturally concerned after hearing about it. When Weichen led the team into the city, the scene was quite grand, which naturally attracted the attention of the people. Seeing the high yield of sweet potatoes, but not knowing when the sage ordered the promotion, it was a matter of life and death. Naturally, he was happy and anxious at the same time. Those who are happy can fill their stomachs with hope , Those who are anxious do not know how to farm. Therefore, it is not surprising that they gather outside the palace gate and ask to see the saint."

"It's a good saying that food is the paramount necessity of the people."

Li Yuan praised: "Xue Qing's family has explained the whole reason. In my opinion, the words of Xue Qing's family are more in line with the essence of things than Qin Wang. Isn't the thing that the people care about is the matter of full stomach? "

Xue Lang hurriedly said: "The sage is too famous, Xue Lang is just judging others by himself, the necessities of life, but the basic necessities of life, clothing, housing and transportation can be dealt with carelessly, but this stomach is not perfunctory. Therefore, there will be just now. idea."

Li Yuan smiled and nodded, obviously no longer worried about the people gathering outside the palace gate.Xiao Yu said: "In the pre-Qin period, there was a "Song of Hitting the Soil" that said, "I work at sunrise, I rest at sunset, I dig a well to drink, and I eat when I plow the fields. What does imperial power mean to me! Discuss it with Xue." Literally, it really doesn't match up."

Xue Lang bowed and cupped his hands: "The internal history order is too much."

As soon as the words were finished, the little yellow gate who had gone out to check the situation hastened in: "Sage Qi Zuo, the reason why the people gather outside the palace gate is because of auspiciousness. The people are delighted to hear that there are high-yield grains offered to the saint today. Spontaneously gathered outside the palace gate to congratulate the sage. They also pleaded with the sage to promote the sweet potato as soon as possible, so as to benefit the people and let the people enjoy the grace of the saint.”

"it is good!"

Li Yuan's tone could not hide the excitement and joy, and he stood up directly from the throne.At this moment, the prince was clever, and he saluted the saint first to congratulate him: "Congratulations to the saint, congratulations to the saint, the saint's benevolence, the heaven and the earth have feelings, so the auspiciousness descends, the auspiciousness is present in the world, and the people are universal, so the common people gather outside the palace gate , Congratulations to the great joy of the saint."

Li Yuan stroked his beard with a smile, and said: "This is because all the Qing family have worked hard to help me, so there is today's grand event."

"Congratulations to the saint, congratulations to the saint!"

All the ministers joined hands to congratulate.After everyone sent congratulations, Xue Lang said: "My minister invites the sage to move to the gate of the palace to meet the people."

The prince immediately reprimanded loudly: "Bold! Xue Lang, do you know what your words mean and what consequences will there be?"

Xue Lang was not afraid, and said proudly: "The prince's words are wrong! Xue Lang's words are out of a public heart and loyalty. The so-called those who win the hearts of the people win the world. This is a good opportunity for auspiciousness to come to the world. It is to gather the hearts of the people. When everyone expects it, when I proclaim the benevolence of my Great Tang Emperor to the world, whether you see it or not, the advantages and disadvantages are clear at a glance!"

Xue Lang no longer looked at the prince, but turned to Li Yuan, bowed and said: "Besides, the auspicious future is not only the joy of the saint, but also the joy of my Tang Dynasty and the people of the Tang Dynasty. A sage, the king of the people, why not rejoice with all the people at this time when everyone is looking forward to it? What's more, the people gathered outside the palace gate are not the people of other countries, but the people of our Tang Empire. The sage is me The monarch of the people of the Tang Dynasty, the so-called king is like a father, the saint is the father of the people, why are you afraid of your children? Why are you afraid of the people under your rule? , such a gentleman, it is too late for all the people to love you, how can you have the heart of harm! How can the saint have the heart to reject the people who love you sincerely, sincerely congratulate you, and rejoice with the saint with all their hearts, from the palace gate, and are stingy to see you Woolen cloth?"

"Okay, sincerity!"

King Qin's eyes were shining brightly, and he clapped his hands with the wat board.
