"Your Majesty, something serious has happened!"

"How can you be so flustered and nervous? Chai Shao, I want to ask you, Yu'er went to your house today, why did you come to me? Could it be that something happened to Yu'er?"

Chai Shao knelt on the ground and repeated what Fang Chen said to him, which made Li Shimin's scalp numb.

"Chai Shao, can you guarantee it?"

Chai Shao shook his head, "I don't dare to do that at first, but what His Highness the Second Highness said should be correct. I am willing to guarantee it with my head!"

"Come here, drag him out and give him thirty strokes!"

"ah?"

"Go and summon Changsun Wuji and the others into the palace."

"Your Majesty, minister?"

"What are you doing standing still? Fight first and then talk!"

Liu Sancheng came to Chai Shao and whispered: "Huo Guogong, you must eat this beating."

Chai Shao was confused and said, "I don't understand."

"Yesterday, His Highness the Second Highness made a fuss about going to see the Chai brothers and made it clear that he was his younger brother."

Well, after hearing this, Chai Shao's heart felt cold and he couldn't do it without eating and fighting!

"The Queen is still thinking about it now! Tell me, are you being beaten?"

Chai Shao sighed, "My father-in-law, please be gentle and Chai will cooperate."

"Don't worry, I'll save it!"

Originally, last night was supposed to be a vigil for every household, and no court would say so. But when Li Shimin learned that there would be a locust plague due to a severe drought, all the rules became empty talk.

All the major civil servants entered the palace together, including military generals, all present.

"Huo Guogong, what are you doing?" Cheng Zhijie's eyes crinkled with laughter. He was so happy to see such interesting things as soon as he entered the palace.

"Come here, take Cheng Zhijie down and give him thirty sticks!" You have burned your butt, and you still have the nerve to be happy in front of me?

"Your Majesty! I am wronged!"

"Thirty more sticks!"

Cheng Zhijie accepted his fate. It seemed that His Majesty was in a bad mood today.

The ministers looked at each other, unable to guess the saint's thoughts.

Li Shimin didn't speak until Cheng Zhijie was dragged in after being beaten.

"Everyone, I'm afraid there will be a drought this year, and there may even be a locust plague!"

"What?"

"Your Majesty, are you kidding?"

"Your Majesty, this...isn't this possible?"

"...."

In an instant, the scene became chaotic.

"Quiet! Chai Shao, please speak."

"yes!"

Chai Shao came out and recounted it again.

All the ministers frowned, and Yuchi Jingde asked in confusion: "Your Highness? But the one who was given the Tiger Talisman of King Qin by His Majesty yesterday?"

Qin Qiong asked Chai Shao, "Your Highness, can you tell me a solution?"

Chai Shao smiled bitterly: "As soon as I heard the news, I rushed to the palace. Where could I dare to ask?"

Yan Shigu sighed and said: "Your Highness is really extraordinary. This matter can still be judged by the winter snow. If it comes true, I'm afraid there will be another disaster."

Li Jing thought about it again and again, but he didn't know how to solve it. What's more important now is to prevent people who are interested in taking advantage of the chaos to cause trouble.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the governors of each state should be rotated immediately!"

Cheng Zhizhi said: "Your Majesty, if this is true, it's fine. What if it's false? If it's not Old Cheng, I don't trust the Second Highness. Who of you can guarantee it?"

Qin Qiong and Chai Shao took a step forward at the same time, "How dare you!"

Li Shimin glared at Cheng Zhijie and said angrily: "Shubao and Chai Shao are now loyal to Yu'er!"

One word shocked everyone, but the saint is still there, how can ministers be loyal to others? Unless...

Li Ji was surprised and said: "Your Majesty wants His Highness to open a palace and establish an army?"

What is opening a mansion? Think about the Prince of Qin's mansion. After Li Shimin opened the mansion, he recruited famous generals and had countless generals under his command.

When other princes opened their palaces, they would at most recruit some advisers, governors, or advisers to make plans for their future.

"Second brother, are you serious?" Cheng Zhijie's eyes were full of disbelief.

Qin Qiong snorted coldly, "If you dare to make trouble against His Highness again, don't blame Qin for having bad weapons!"

Cheng Zhijie's face showed a look of resentment and he didn't even dare to say anything.

He didn't know what his elder brother was, but in terms of military management, martial arts, and combat, he was no match for Qin's second brother.

Qin Qiong had no choice but to do so. Now that he had reached this point, if Fang Chen didn't show up, he could only pretend to be sick and stay in the house without taking a single step forward.

But Fang Chen's arrival gave him a promising prospect: he could expand his territory and seal his territory, and he might even be able to seal the wolf and live in Xu!

Even if he is a very popular minister, he cannot help but be tempted and will seize this opportunity no matter what.

Li Shimin didn't stop him, so why didn't he feel a little guilty about Qin Qiong?

Qin Qiong was the one who stabbed Li Yuanji and forced Li Jiancheng to death! The one who took all the blame for Li Shimin!

All the officials of Li Jiancheng's faction surrendered later, but they wanted to pull out Qin Qiong's bones.

"Your Majesty, I think this matter cannot be fully believed. Why not ask the Second Highness to come down and explain it to everyone."

The person who spoke was Wen Yanbo, the imperial censor.

"Asshole!"

One sentence made many people angry.

Li Shimin even yelled angrily, "Who do you think you are, and you ask Yu'er to come out and explain to you?"

"Your Majesty, minister..."

"Your Majesty, I thought Lord Wen just thought that the drought was too serious and lost his bearings for a while. Please forgive him this time."

Yang Gongren, the doctor of Zuo Guanglu, came out to intercede with Wen Yanbo. Today was a big deal, so no wonder he spoke without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, please atone for your sins!"

Looking at the anger in the eyes of Qin Qiong and others, Wen Yanbo also understood that what he said was wrong, but he couldn't understand why Li Jing, Li Ji, and even Changsun Wuji and Fang Du were warning him.

.

This guy said one word wrong, but this one word is completely different.

If it had been replaced by "please" instead of "let", he would have no problem at all, but he just said "let", which contained a sense of accountability in his words.

After all, Fang Chen was also the Uncle Qin of the Tang Dynasty. Who could hold him accountable as a censor?

Wei Zheng also came out of the queue, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to invite the Second Highness to come out. Do you think so?"

Li Shimin looked at Chai Shao and asked, "Did Yu'er say when he will return to the palace?"

Chai Shao wiped his cold sweat, hoping that he would not be beaten again, "I don't know."

"Qin Qiong!"

"I'm here!"

"Go and bring that brat to the palace for me."

"I obey the decree!"

Changsun Wuji thought for a while, then stepped out and asked, "I wonder why the Second Highness went to Duke Huo's house today?"

Li Shimin looked weird, you old guy, how do you answer this question?

"Ahem, I asked him to go. Do you have any questions?"

Both Chai Shao and Li Shimin were avoiding this topic, so Changsun Wuji waved his hand hurriedly, "No, I just want to invite His Highness to come to my Changsun Mansion to sit down in his spare time."

Qin Qiong rode his horse out of the palace and rushed to Duke Huo's mansion.

Fang Chen was preparing to have a reunion dinner with Chai Zhewei when Qin Qiong rushed in.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty calls you to enter the palace immediately."

"Old man, please wait."

Fang Chen rearranged Chai Zhewei and Chai Lingwu's robes, and then said with a smile: "Take care of yourself. There shouldn't be too many wrinkles on the robes. Mother doesn't like it. You must remember to take care of yourselves. I will leave first. If

Next time I can come out, I will definitely come to see you!"

"Goodbye, big brother!"

"Brother, walk slowly!"

Fang Chen then left with Qin Qiong. On the way, he asked: "But is there a way to deal with the drought?"

Qin Qiong's face was filled with a bitter smile: "Your Highness, if there is a way, why would Your Majesty ask me to take you into the palace?"

"How? Is this kind of thing difficult to solve?"

Qin Qiong briefly described the situation in the palace at the moment and told him that someone seemed to want to use him as a stepping stone.

"What about Wen Yanbo? Forget it, it's no big deal, I'll give him a beating once in a while, it should be fine, right?"

Qin Qiong almost fell off the horse, "Your Highness, it's best not to."
