Chapter 6 Li Shimin was shocked, is this still the traitor?

The eldest grandson Wugou smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't jump to conclusions easily. There is a whole world here. Why don't you pay more attention to your surroundings?!"

Li Shimin heard this and did not answer. He believed that his queen would not make fun of him.

So……

Is there something I didn't notice?!

Li Shimin looked around. Due to the arrival of his True Dragon Emperor, the surroundings were decorated with torches, dyeing the dark night into daylight. There was almost nothing that could not be seen.

Huh? Why are there so many guards gathered there?!

Li Shimin looked at that place and thought that if there was a mystery, it would be there.

He paced towards there.

"His Majesty!!"

The guard responsible for guarding the basement raised his hands and clasped his fists.

"Um."

Li Shimin nodded and discovered that there was an entrance to the basement. Looking inside from his position, he could clearly see bags of grain.

Just to reveal a small part, there are densely packed bags of grain piled up together.

"It is indeed here. Come with me to have a look!"

Li Shimin gave the order for his guards to follow him down.

Wait until you climb down to the basement and look forward.

In an instant.

Li Shimin's eyes widened.

food!

It’s all food!!

They are piled up so densely that there is no end in sight!!

In an instant.

Senseless!

shocked!

Completely dumbfounded!!

"This, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, is actually all food!!"

Li Shimin's eyes were straight and his voice was mute.

He never imagined that Li Kuan, the rebellious son, could raise so much food!

At this time, Changsun Wugou also climbed down and said with some pride, "How about it, Your Majesty, did I lie to you?!"

"Is our Kuan'er's grain storage alone enough to save the victims of the Tang Dynasty?!"

Li Shimin laughed heartily, "Haha, hahaha! Maid Guanyin, yes, that's so true!!"

"I knew you were my lucky star. If you hadn't insisted on coming to Prince Chu's Mansion today, I would still be worrying about food for the victims. I might even have agreed to the discount given by the family tonight."

"But you brought me such good news, Guanyin! Hahahaha!!!"

Li Shimin laughed loudly, his smile was hearty, and he hugged his eldest grandson Wugou tightly in excitement.

at this time,

How would Li Kuan, who was so far away, feel if he knew that not only was his private money gone, but also that Li Shimin gave all the credit to his eldest grandson Wugou?!

Changsun Wugou's face turned a little red. After all, it was outside. She hurriedly left Li Shimin's arms and said, "Your Majesty, these are not my concubine's merits. If Kuan'er had not foresighted and stored so much food in advance, I would not have been able to conjure it up for you."

."

"Besides Kuan'er, your second thank you should be to Si Zi. Si Zi is a naughty kid who is very naughty when it comes to misbehaving. But today, it was because of her mischief that we learned that there is food hidden here by accident."

"Compared to the two of them, my concubine's role in this is negligible."

Li Shimin laughed and said, "No matter who takes the credit for raising food, it belongs to my bloodline of Li Tang!!"

"Such a huge food gap has been blocked by my descendants of Li Tang bloodline. After this incident, who dares to look down on me, the Li Tang royal family!!"

"Those bastard aristocratic families, I will deal with them one by one sooner or later!!"

Li Shimin straightened his back, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked out, with immense pride welling up in his heart.

The guards who followed him out today, including the maids around eldest grandson Wugou, are die-hard loyalists to the royal family, so there is no need for Li Shimin to be shy when talking about his attitude towards the aristocratic family.

Changsun Wugou covered his mouth and smiled. It seems that His Majesty is no longer worried about food. That's good.

"By the way, Xuan, hurry up and come over, Xuan Auxiliary Machine and Xuan Ling, I need them to handle the food distribution!!"

"yes!!"

There were several guards, with a clear division of labor, and the troops left in two groups.

Along the way, I went to invite Changsun Wuji, and on the other hand, I went to invite Fang Xuanling.

After they left,

Li Shimin walked aimlessly, stroking the bags of grain with emotion. These were the bargaining chips for him to escape from the control of the aristocratic family.

"Kuan'er... Maid Guanyin, I really didn't expect that our Kuan'er could be so capable. I really underestimated him before."

Changsun Wugou followed behind him and said with a smile, "Yes, the same is true for my concubine."

"But... Your Majesty, I have something to tell you. The steward of Prince Chu's Palace told me that these grains are actually Kuan'er's private money."

"Ahem, look at us..."

Changsun Wugou was a little embarrassed. This was his child's private money, and logically it shouldn't be touched. After all, the child had grown up and had to make his own plans.

But now...as parents, they need Kuan'er's help, and they still ask a twelve-year-old child for help, which is quite difficult to say.

Li Shimin was slightly startled, so much food, this is private money? Are you kidding me?

However, with his eccentric character, it is really possible for his son to do such strange things.

"Nowadays, in Datang, many victims starve to death every day. They are in urgent need of this relief food. We still need to prioritize things clearly."

Changsun Wugou thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's right."

………………

Changsun Mansion.

"What? All the major grain merchants in the city claim they have no grain?!"

Changsun Wuji's eyes were red.

After leaving the palace, he asked his servants to go to the major shops in Chang'an to find grain merchants, and informed them that the palace wanted to collect a batch of grain.

And now, a servant has returned.

At the beginning, the servant said that the grain merchant claimed to be sick and could not come out.

Sun Wuji didn't care about this, he just didn't sell food if he was sick.

And next,

After each servant returned, the first thing he said was that the grain merchants did not sell grain. The reasons compiled by those people were all kinds of strange.

Someone said that the elder grandma is getting married today and needs to arrange a happy event. She will not be able to sell food in the next half month.

Some people said that when an elder in the family passed away and they wanted to express condolences, they could not sell food.

Some people said that they had sold out all the grain, and on their way back, the servants happened to see the grain merchant who was selling clean grain and took out another bag of grain from the warehouse.

These grain merchants kept saying from beginning to end that there was no grain to sell to them.

"The aristocratic family...are really trying to force His Majesty into a corner!!"

Changsun Wuji was a little angry. Although his family was a gentry, it was an established gentry. Ever since Changsun Wugou married Li Shimin, their eldest grandson's family's interests were completely consistent with Li Shimin's. They were grasshoppers on the same rope.

Li Shimin was sad, and they were really sad too.

"Sir, please calm down. Since those grain merchants have grain in their hands and have not transported it away. They have left it where they are. How about... we send a large army to seize them directly? Open the warehouse to release grain?!"

An old slave gave advice.

Changsun Wuji shook his head directly.

"No, the grain merchants' stocks have not been removed. I'm afraid the family asked them to maintain it deliberately, just to let us and others send a large army to search the house. Then they used the excuse to embarrass His Majesty even more, and also lowered the credibility of the Li Tang royal family.

."

"This method should not be used unless absolutely necessary. This method is really inferior."
