Datang: At the beginning, Li Er eavesdropped on his heart

Chapter 448

Minister of Rites walked into the old man's house with big strides, and when he saw his son who was paralyzed in bed, he showed disgust.

Looking at the old man who was busy making a fire, a follower directly dragged him over.

The old man has suffered countless hardships in this generation, and he has become accustomed to being an ordinary person. How can he think that people are sitting at home, and the disaster will come from the sky.

He thought that he had committed something, and that was what alarmed the city officials.

"My... my lord, I deserve death for my crimes, please let my poor son go!"

Where did the old man dare to question the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, it was because he wanted to bear everything.

Can……

After hearing what he said, Minister of Rites couldn't help laughing, until someone brought in some food and clothes.

"There is no crime. I came here today to give you a great opportunity."

The Minister of Rites said directly.

But it made the old man confused, his eyes full of doubts, he could only freeze in place.

"What... what a great opportunity?" The old man had been poor for most of his life, and the words "honesty and honesty" had been carved into his bones long ago.

To put it bluntly, he is timid and afraid of getting into trouble. When he heard the Minister of Rites say this, his first reaction was that there was a trap in it.

Can't help but resist.

However, Minister of the Ministry of Rites came to the door in person, and there was no chance for him to refuse, so he directly asked his followers to bring some new cloth clothes, and he wanted to put them on for the old man.

It is said that a man depends on his clothes and a horse depends on his saddle. This is a famous saying.

When the old man put on new clothes, his whole person changed greatly, and his mental outlook was completely new.

After realizing it later, he finally realized that it was really a pie in the sky, and a good thing happened before his eyes.

Then I danced happily, touching my new clothes from time to time, and couldn't put it down.

An attendant was a little impatient, and hurriedly urged the old man to come to the Minister of Rites and listen carefully to his explanation.

"Remember, these new clothes are for you to wear, but they are not for nothing."

The Minister of Rites knew that Li Shimin needed people to accompany him when he plowed and plowed. Although his intention was to understand the people's sentiments, they dared not just ask someone to go there.

In case the countryman speaks wrongly and bumps into Li Shimin, it will be a felony of beheading.

The Minister of Rites understands it with emotion and moves with reason, but the old man only half understands it.

That also made Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites impatient, and he was too lazy to say anything else to him, so he settled down.

"When you meet the emperor, if he asks you how your daily life is, whether you have enough food and clothing, you have to say yes."

"These silvers will also be placed with you for the time being. When the time comes, I will tell the emperor that the family has two taels of silver and lives very comfortably."

When the old man heard it, he was completely dumbfounded, but knowing that what Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites said just now was completely extravagant for him, and he couldn't beat it, he immediately became unhappy.

But Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites took out his trump card and threatened that if he didn't follow through, the clothes and food would be taken away.

The old man looked at his son who was paralyzed on the bed, and could only nod his head.

"Xiaomin must cooperate well, must cooperate well."

He looked helpless, but there was nothing he could do.

Only then did Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites show a satisfied smile, nodded and led the people away.

In the dilapidated house, the old man carefully touched his new clothes with his hands, feeling mixed emotions for a while.

And his son who was paralyzed on the bed showed a wry smile, with a look of helplessness on his face.

Time passed day by day, but Li Min couldn't take any time off. Every now and then, he would be called over by Li Shimin to settle down for a few words.

However, he was worried about the sacrificial offering, and for a while Li Yin was frowning, and his heart was extremely heavy.

Above the main hall, Li Shimin smiled when he saw Li Yin coming over. During this time, he became more and more satisfied with Li Yin.

"Father, the matter of offering sacrifices has been almost arranged, and there is no problem in the middle."

Li Shimin listened, but his eyes hesitated, as if he wanted to say something to Li Yin.

After a little hesitation, he still spoke.

"Min'er, monarchs and ministers disagree, it has been like this since ancient times."

"What you see is mostly obedience and disobedience, and there are many things in it."

Li Shimin pointed out something, and Li Min was not a fool, so he immediately understood.

Immediately, he narrowed his eyes and said in surprise.

"Father means that some people will take advantage of the sacrificial offerings to cheat for personal gain?"

As soon as he said it, he felt that the possibility of such a thing happening was extremely high.

Seeing that he had an epiphany, Li Shimin's eyes were relieved and he was quite satisfied.

Then he nodded and wanted to say a few words to Li Yin.

"You have to be diligent in supervising. Sacrifice is a major matter in my court, and there must be no confusion in it."

But how could Li Yin think that Li Shimin couldn't stop talking as soon as he spoke, and his head was getting bigger when he heard it.

I just feel physically and mentally exhausted, and suddenly there are a lot of complaints.

"You can't be fooled, and you can't be fooled. I don't know how many people have been exhausted because of the sacrifices these days."

"I am the prince, and I just let you be used as a coolie."

Li Yin kept talking in his heart, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to spy on his mind clearly.

Immediately, he frowned, feeling displeased.

But Li Yin, who didn't notice anything strange at all, still kept venting his dissatisfaction.

"Let me do this and that every day, without saying anything good."

"Even oxen and horses cannot be driven like this."

Li Yin said something, but saw that Li Shimin's entire face was darkened, and his eyes were cold, staring straight at Li Yin.

But he was so dissatisfied with him, and he had entrusted him with a heavy responsibility out of good intentions, and unexpectedly attracted so much criticism, the more Li Shimin thought about it, the worse he felt.

But the complaints in Li Yin's heart did not stop there.

"I really don't know what's the point of being a prince. It's like killing a worker."

"I'm exhausted every day, and I don't feel at ease at all."

Hello Li Yin!
When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately became anxious, and immediately patted the table, then stood up and looked directly at Li Yin.

Ok?
Li Yin's face was dazed, and he didn't know what happened, but he was attracted by Li Shimin's actions, and he felt it immediately.

Li Yin couldn't help but sighed.

"I don't know how my father came here these years. Being a prince is so tiring, and being an emperor is even more difficult."

"That's why he is willing to be the emperor. I don't even want the emperor to give it to me for nothing."

Li Yin murmured in his heart.

But he didn't see the astonishment flashing in Li Shimin's eyes, and he immediately extinguished the anger in his eyes.

Li Shimin was filled with emotion, never thought that Li Yin would have such a big circle, and he was still thinking about him.

Yes, being an emperor is really tiring, Li Shimin thought for a while and said.
