Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The so-called careless sacrifice to heaven is over.  No minister knows why Li Shimin did this, and what's the point of doing so. If Li Shimin hadn't been the kind of emperor who behaved mischievously, I'm afraid Li Shimin's every move at today's rescue ceremony would have been enough to make the ministers criticize him.  , wrote a letter to remonstrate.  It is precisely because the ministers all know Li Shimin's character and methods that they secretly guess what Li Shimin did today.  There must be a hint.  It is precisely because of the difference that it is mysterious, and it is precisely because of Li Shimin's unusualness today that the ministers became even more energetic, thinking and speculating about Li Shimin's heart.

    After Li Shimin held the ceremony to save the sun, he boarded the dragon chariot. He didn't pay any attention to them. He seemed to ignore the ministers. In this way, the ministers felt even more uneasy. They didn't know what they did.  Something is wrong, or something.

    There was silence all the way until they walked back to the palace. Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair with a golden sword. He looked at the courtiers who followed and said slowly: "Come, close the palace door!"

    ??????????? All the original guards and entourage in the Taiji Hall are gone. From under the dragon chair to the door of the hall, there is a murderous black armor soldier standing every five steps, which makes people dare not look directly.  When the palace door slowly closed, a chilling and dull atmosphere began to spread throughout the Tai Chi Palace, making everyone feel depressed.

    After all, the ministers were more sensitive to the situation. Seeing Li Shimin sitting on the dragon throne without answering, they stared at them closely.  He quickly lowered his head and knelt down.  With this first kneeling down, it didn't take more than two breaths.  Except for Li Shimin and the Xuanjia guards standing in the entire Tai Chi Hall.  No one stood upright anymore.

    Seeing that the entire hall was quiet, Li Shimin slowly spoke.  "I know that you don't understand what I did today. You also have a lot to say. But!" Li Shimin's voice suddenly changed, and then he continued: "From now on, until I finish speaking, who dares to  Interrupt! Let anyone go home and retire!"

    "It has been more than half a year since I came to the throne. It has been less than ten years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Neither I nor my father have neglected any of my subjects in the past few years. I have not been sorry to anyone who has tied my whole body to the Great Tang Dynasty.  The people of Tang Dynasty. There are some things I don’t need to say. Everyone also understands that during this solar eclipse, some people will definitely stand up and criticize me, either saying that there are monsters around me causing trouble, or that I am a foolish king! But I hope that you will listen to  When you say this, use your eyes to see clearly. First of all, I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. It is necessary for me to take the lead in the coming years of disaster and be responsible for the world!" Li Shimin's voice was not high, but in this silence  Silently, as if one could hear one's own heartbeat, the Tai Chi Hall was like thunder exploding in everyone's mind.

    The next disaster year?  Are there going to be disaster years in the future?  Everyone knows that Li Shimin's words, "I will take charge at the end of the year and be responsible for the world!" are the focus of all Li Shimin's previous words.  And this sentence.  The ministers were quite shocked when they heard this, disaster year!  drought!  Flood!  Locust plague!  Military disaster!  Disaster!  In this era, it is definitely not a good thing. Disasters will cause corpses everywhere.  When the disaster is over, the sky is filled with howls.  This sentence is not just talk. The foundation of the Tang Dynasty was not particularly rich to begin with. Although the people's lives have improved in the past two years of recuperation, I am afraid that all the efforts will be in vain when the disaster year comes.  Even if it is not done properly, it will lead to the end of the country and the annihilation of the species.  Why doesn't this frighten the ministers?

    Furthermore, everyone knows that what Li Shimin said has been criticized.  This criticism can easily lead to chaos in the court, and even worse, local rebellions. In the event of a calamity year, domestic chaos, people suffering, or foreign invasion.  I'm afraid it will be another chaotic ending for the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

    In times of disaster, everything can be chaotic, but the government and the military must not be chaotic.  Only when the government is not in chaos can disaster relief be carried out in an orderly manner, and only when the army is not in chaos can it respond to all accidents.  According to the information Li Shimin said, the disaster year is not far away. If he is criticized again at this time, it will cause chaos within the court, and the disaster year will arrive.  Then I'm afraid it's too late.  So now everyone must take Li Shimin as the center and twist all the forces into one rope.  Only in this way can we survive the disaster year smoothly.

    Of course, some people still secretly doubt whether the disaster year mentioned by Li Shimin is accurate, but Li Shimin has spoken out before, and anyone who dares to interrupt his words today will retire and return home.  This black gauze hat is still important.  Everyone also believed that Li Shimin would not reveal anything about this disaster year without definite information.  After all, no one can bear the responsibility for causing panic among the people.

    "I know you have questions in your mind. Although I can't tell you everything clearly, I can still tell you some simple and plain words." Li Shimin gave the ministers enough time to imagine, and then continued.  : "I remember an hour ago, Feng Deyi, you said that today's solar eclipse is not calculatedWithin range.  So there must be a reason for the action, right?  I can tell you that I already knew there would be a solar eclipse today as early as last month!  "Li Shimin's eyes widened suddenly when he said this, and Feng Deyi suddenly felt a murderous aura running straight down his spine, making him breathless. He, who was already a bit old, was so surprised that he suddenly felt  My whole body was weak, my hands and feet were cold, and I suddenly fell limp.

    Li Shimin ignored the slumped Feng Deyi and continued to say to the courtiers: "Since ancient times, no matter when every dynasty is founded, disasters of this kind and other will happen. And this kind of disaster is called the disaster of founding a country, and it is also called the disaster of rejuvenating a country.  . As long as it survives the disaster, the country will prosper and its prosperity will not be weaker than that of Wenjing. If it fails in the disaster, the country will be destroyed and the family will be forgotten, and the land of China will fall into war again. I said this, you may have thought of it, no  Wrong, the disaster of the founding of the Tang Dynasty is coming soon. No, I would rather call it the disaster of the rejuvenation of the country. Because I am confident that the Tang Dynasty will survive this disaster!"

    As he spoke, Li Shimin stood up from the throne and walked among the ministers.  Suddenly the voice suddenly became louder.  He said solemnly: "The second year of Zhenguan will be the calamity year for us to prosper the Tang Dynasty. As soon as the calamity comes, locusts swarm the sky and snatch the earth. Wherever they pass, there is no green. The people have nothing to eat, and they change their sons to eat. The people have no food.  He was born by selling his daughter. There are people dying of hunger on the road, and there are withered bones on the ground. It is really a scene of hell. However, there is a glimmer of life under the road. I predicted the great calamity and prayed to heaven to get new plows and a way to eliminate disasters.  Therefore, it is decided to take the first year of Zhenguan as the basis to deal with the catastrophe in advance." Li Shimin's words were sonorous, and the ministers were frightened and a glimmer of perseverance of hope rose in their hearts.

    "Come here, bring a new plow!" Li Shimin shouted to the four Xuanjia guards guarding the side hall.  As the Quyuan plow moved from far to near little by little, the court officials finally saw the new plow that Li Shimin said "asked for help from heaven".  Fortunately, many officials in the early Tang Dynasty still knew something about farming. After seeing the new plow, they felt somewhat confident.  At this time, I heard Li Shimin say again.

    "This plow is called a curved shaft plow. It is named after its shape. It is extremely convenient for plowing. It can be easily operated by one person and one ox, and the efficiency is six to seven times that of a straight plow. I decided to spread this plow to the world and encourage  People are reclaiming wasteland to ensure a bumper harvest this year and to deal with next year's locust plague. At the same time, farmers' farming methods are changed, and the government coordinates, collects fertilizers and distributes them to farmers free of charge. People are encouraged to raise chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry to reduce the number of locusts. At all levels  The government must implement it. The local army will supervise it. No one can obstruct it, and if there is any obstruction, they will be killed without mercy!" Li Shimin's face suddenly became hateful and ferocious. Li Shimin was afraid that once this song was passed down, he would be killed.  But he was pinched in the hands of officials and others from aristocratic families.  When the disaster comes, the people still have no food to satisfy their hunger.  So this killing order was issued.

    "The cost of a Quyuan plow is forty cents, and the sale of this plow cannot exceed fifty cents. The price of high-quality seeds is based on the current price, and those who drive up prices will be killed! This year's fertilizer will be distributed free of charge by the government according to the actual land, civilians first, and wealthy families later. Without authorization  Anyone who withholds fertilizer will be killed! People are allowed to reclaim wasteland with their own abilities, but those who enclose land privately will be killed! Change the tax method this year and charge one-tenth of the actual harvest. The surplus grain, except for the needs of the whole family, will be purchased by the government at a fair price.  Anyone who conceals the harvest will be killed! Anyone who trades or sells privately will be killed! No one is allowed to find excuses to incite people's support. The locust plague is coming soon. Anyone who incites people's support will be killed!"

    Li Shimin said five words of "kill" in a row, which immediately filled the entire Tai Chi Hall with murderous intent. However, every minister understood these reasons for "killing". A catastrophe was imminent, and those who took advantage of loopholes to harm others and not benefit themselves must be killed.  , stabilize people’s hearts.  Only in this way can the country work together to survive the disaster years.

    "In the first year of Zhenguan, as a foundation and guarantee for resisting the locust plague, everyone must do their best. If you are slacking off, you will be given the official seal. If you are unable to do what you want, you will be given the official seal. If you are homesick and not thinking about state affairs, you will be given the official seal"  Li Shimin explained again, and the reason was very clear. A big disaster is coming. If you don't try your best, or if you are incompetent or don't work wholeheartedly, you can teach yourself to get an official position and go home.  Let competent people do your job.  Only in this way can we better survive the disaster years.
