Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling covered their faces and couldn't bear to look at them. This boy who is not stingy is too embarrassing.

They knew Yang Fan's personality and should really not know this person.

But this is too nonsense!

It has been almost two months since I was in the same hall, and I don’t even know the names and positions of my colleagues. Isn’t this a joke?

However, Li Shimin did not stop drinking because the official was too weak to see.

After all, I just exposed this matter and the people's affairs have not been resolved yet. This old guy pulled this matter up again. Wouldn't it be that slapped Li Shimin in the face?

Although Li Shimin always advocated the idea of ​​speaking freely and listening to both sides, he could not let the court officials be scrupulous.

The official saw everyone's strange eyes, Feng Qingyun's look could no longer hold back, his face turned red and white, and he said angrily: "I am Cui Yongping, the Cui family of Qinghe, and he is currently the Minister of Personnel!"

Minister of the Ministry of Personnel?

It's indeed not simple.

The Ministry of Personnel is a department that assesses the performance of imperial officials and is promoted, ranking first among the six ministries.

No wonder this guy looks like a sturdy man when he talks about his official position.

Moreover, the Ministry of Personnel has sufficient oil and water, and they all eat fat and big ears, just like Changsun Wuji, the Minister of Personnel.

It turns out that it is upward and downward, and it is a model!

If Changsun Wuji knew that Yang Fan had been wearing a hat for no reason because he was fat, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.

Seeing that Yang Fan did not reply, Cui Yongping became proud and thought he was shocked by his background.

"I have been looking back for a long time, but I still haven't heard of it..." Yang Fan dug his ears and said casually.

This made Cui Yongping so angry that Qikong smoked. If he hadn't been in the Tai Chi Hall, he would have really wanted to curse.

If you haven’t heard of it, you just say you haven’t heard of it. What does it mean to add a “long-term reluctance” before?

Taking a deep breath, Cui Yongping suppressed the boiling blood and gritted his teeth and said, "It is said that the Minister of Rites' sharp teeth and sharp mouths. Today, he saw it very different. But now we won't discuss these things. Just now you said that you are considering the worries of the people. I don't know if you have gained something. Could it be that you deceive Your Majesty?"

Yang Fan was surprised to look at the old man in surprise.

Is this old guy so bad, right?

If not, wouldn’t it be true that I just deceived Li Shimin? This is the crime of deceiving the monarch.

To put it in a big way, this is a beheading. To put it in a small way, it is not certain whether your official position can be preserved.

It seems that I have no grudge against this old boy, so why did I deliberately target myself?

Li Shimin didn't pursue it. What does it mean to hold on to you, old man, keep holding on?

Of course, it cannot be admitted, otherwise they would not be sprayed to death by these court officials who were eyeing each other.

Thinking of this, Yang Fan said calmly and calmly: "Of course you have something to gain!"

Obviously Cui Yongping did not intend to give up, but instead pursued him relentlessly: "Since that's the case, please tell me it quickly so that everyone can take a look at the minister's opinions."

Yang Fan glanced at the old guy and said, "Long XX, if you ask me to say it, I will say it? Wouldn't it seem so shameless? Besides, your Majesty hasn't even spoken, but you came out to scold him. It's so cheap!"

"You...you are so rude. This is no different from a polite person. It is simply a disgrace to a civil servant. I beg your Majesty to drive this person out of the court immediately." Cui Yongping's face was red and pointed at Yang Fan and turned to complain.

Yang Fan held his mouth and ignored Cui Yongping, who asked his leader to complain if he couldn't win.

Although Li Shimin was secretly happy, he couldn't show it. He was often so angry that he vomited blood by these guys.

Now when I saw a guy full of kindness and righteousness, I was so angry that I was trembling by Yang Fan's scoundrel behavior, and the long-term depression also relieved a lot.

But he said seriously: "Shut up, this is the place to discuss national affairs. As important officials in the court, how can you quarrel like a shrew? This matter is revealed..."

Although Cui Yongping was a little dissatisfied, he did not dare to refute anymore. He had to glar at Yang Fan fiercely and return to his seat.

Soon, Li Shimin asked Fang Xuanling with concern: "Fang Aiqing, the report just now from the prefectures and counties around Chang'an City has been read out, you have a good idea."

Fang Xuanling looked sad: "Your Majesty, the heavy snow this year is much earlier than in previous years. Now it is only the cold winter of 29, and the heavy snow has been falling for half a month. According to the prediction of Yintianjian, the snow disaster this year will be more serious than before, and the old minister has no way to deal with it."

Everyone knows that according to custom, people only start storing charcoal fires in the cold winter of 29th, but this year's situation is somewhat rare.

It was just now that the cold weather in the 29th century, but it had been more than half a month since the heavy snow had fallen, so many people did not prepare enough charcoal.

In the past few days, people have been frozen to death and houses have been crushed by heavy snow.

Even if the imperial capital is like this, you can imagine the disasters in other prefectures and counties.

If the court has not come up with a plan now, the county and county report will fly into the court like snowflakes, and they will definitely be in a hurry.

The most important thing is that it may displace many people and die of cold.

When Li Daliang heard Fang Xuanling's words, as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he was very anxious.

Now that this situation occurs, the most anxious thing is the Ministry of Civil Affairs. No matter how the court deals with it, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will definitely not be able to escape.

So he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if you follow the house's words, the court should find a solution as soon as possible. Now the heavy snow continues, many houses have been crushed and many people have been frozen to death. If after a while, even if the houses are not crushed, the heating will be exhausted, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

Fang Xuanling then: "According to the old ministers' understanding, in previous years, the people's homes only had about one month of charcoal fire. Now the heavy snow has lasted for more than half a month. In addition, the people are not prepared enough, I think the charcoal flakes have almost been used up. If it becomes colder in the next period of time, then..."

Li Daliang frowned: "It is said that the price of charcoal has risen by nearly 50% recently. It is estimated that the price will continue to rise. Not to mention whether there is a charcoal supply, even the price is not affordable for ordinary people. In this way, the ministers are afraid of a major disaster."

Li Daliang and Fang Xuanling analyzed the matter thoroughly.

The other court officials also agreed.

"Yes, charcoal is too expensive now!"

"It's nothing if charcoal is more expensive, mainly because it can't be bought, and it's very unbearable to burn, and it's gone in an instant."

"Who said no? The heavy snow came so quickly. Some mansion didn't prepare much. They had to rest early after dinner every day. Even the memorials were written on the bed. It was really difficult."

Looking at the other ministers who could only complain, Li Shimin frowned and shouted: "You are taking the salary of the court, but you only care about whether the charcoal fire in your house is enough. This is not what good ministers do. Today, we are discussing it just to come up with a strategy to deal with the snow disaster. If there are any complaints, I will let him go home directly."

"I'm sure to listen to Your Majesty's teachings!" Seeing Li Shimin getting angry, the court officials who had just discussed shut up, lowered their eyebrows and lowered their heads and shouted in unison.

But even so, the court officials did not come up with a good countermeasure.

In their opinion, it is impossible for a good cook to cook without rice. In this winter, it is impossible to find so much charcoal at once.

Seeing the court officials citing blame and quarreling with each other, Li Shimin's face became gloomy.

However, he knew that it would be useless to scold him, so he turned to Li Daliang and asked: "If there is a big disaster, can the Ministry of Civil Affairs have sufficient money to provide disaster relief?"

In fact, Li Shimin had no particularly good idea, but he knew that as long as he first considered the worst result, there was nothing he could not solve.

"Your Majesty, it's the end of the year now. Every fund from the Ministry of Civil Affairs has been arranged. Although the disaster relief funds raised from the smallpox plague last time were still some surplus, if a heavy snowfall really occurred, the Ministry of Civil Affairs may be somewhat unable to meet..." After saying that, Li Daliang looked worried.

Although he was in charge of the entire Tang Dynasty's money bag, there was not much money that could really be freely disposable.

The new tax has not been paid, and the old tax has been exhausted. After all, the entire Tang Dynasty spent a lot of money, and they already have specific budgets and places to go.

If this situation develops, the disaster will probably not be small, and the amount required will be astronomical.

Even if he put a knife around his neck, he couldn't bring out so much money.

Li Shimin's eyes swept through the faces of the court officials one by one, and asked in a deep voice: "My dear friends, can't you come up with a good way to do so many of you?"

The court officials immediately turned red and looked down at their toes.
