Chapter 49: The Grain War

"So good!" Li Yuanji smiled. Tao Ran also smiled bitterly. On the other side, when the Qin Prince's Mansion heard the words of the civil officials who had submitted the memorials, Changsun Wuji's face was really ugly.

"The emperor didn't look at it, why didn't he look?" Changsun Wuji asked with a cold face. The civil minister frowned and said, "I heard that the emperor had ulcers and did not attend court today. I wanted to ask the empress, but I didn't even go in the palace gate. It was said that the empress was serving the emperor with a sick time!"

"What should I do?" Changsun Wuji was like an ant on a hot pan, which was wandering around. Changsun Wugui looked at the silent Yuchi Gong, then looked at his brother, and said, "Why don't I go into the palace to see it. After all, I am also my father's daughter-in-law, so I should have gone in!"

"Prince, let's wait. They can stop the ministers, and of course they can stop you! If you enter the palace, then you will depend on me and Lord Changsun, even if you can't hold on! Only now is better to raise all the money and buy food at a high price!" Yuchi Gong raised his head and said slowly.

"Okay, it's better to begging for others than asking for others!" Changsun Wugui said as soon as he said this, Changsun Wugui went to find someone and gathered all the silver in the Qin Palace.

Although it was the royal palace, because Li Shimin never cared about collecting wealth, he didn't save much. Looking at the few silver and money, everyone was very depressed because it was just a drop in the bucket.

He ordered people to buy food with money. This time, Yuchi Gong and Changsun Wuji followed him, but they were sitting in the carriage.

The whole of Chang'an was not filled with carriages. The people who went to buy the grain said that the grain had been taken away, and these were just left and used by others, and they were evenly distributed at high prices.

Changsun Wuji and others were all very smart. When they heard this, they immediately understood: Someone was robbing food!

The food was not received, Changsun Wuji and Yuchi Gong returned to the Qin Palace with anger. After a while, Changsun Wugui came out, but this time she brought a hint of joy.

Changsun Wuji didn't know the joy of his sister, and said angrily: "I haven't received the food!"

"I already know this!" Changsun Wugui had a small face and smiled, and it seemed that he had not suffered any blow because of this news!

"I understand, you are still laughing!" Changsun Wuji was full of anger and couldn't help but say.

"You can't receive the food because His Highness King Qi collected the food. He was worried about the soldiers, so he asked someone to collect the food with illness!" Changsun Wuji briefly explained why he was happy.

Yuchi Gong didn't know what Changsun Wuji was thinking, but he said in his heart: Will he be so good? This is naturally impossible. He had no grudges with him at the beginning, and he plotted against him like that. If today it was about to be settled, he would help the King of Qin.

Changsun Wuji has always followed the Qin King to fight in the east, so naturally he had some opinions about King Qi. Although he lost his sad face at this time, he was also deeply thinking.

"Didn't you say you're sick? Why did you send someone out to collect food?" Changsun Wuji thought for a while and asked Changsun Wugui.

"I don't know this, I just heard that the King of Qi could not let go of his errands. The Tao family was an old friend of the King of Qi, who helped the King of Qi collect the food!" Changsun Wugui added some water to Changsun Wuji's cup before saying.

"Oh! I don't know, it turns out that the Tao family and the King of Qi have old ones!" Changsun Wuji said, and glanced at Yuchi Gong sitting aside.

When Yuchi Gong saw Changsun Wuji's look, he was secretly alert, afraid that they would think they were someone who colluded with the King of Qi, so he said, "Of course there is an old man. If my brother doesn't beat the King of Qi, how could he be expelled from the Tao family!"

When Changsun Wuji heard this, he nodded and said, "No matter what the King of Qi is doing, just solve the problem of food and grass in the army first!"

In the Qi Palace, Tao Ran told Li Yuanji about food. Li Yuanji smiled lightly. It was not until Tao Ran left that Li Yuanji smiled at the person behind the screen and said, "How? My concubine, I did this, but it satisfy your thoughts!"

"Thank you, Prince! In this way, all the merchants in Chang'an City will hate the Tao family to death. Tao Ran has the only way to defect to you, Prince!" A woman in a scorching dress turned out from behind the screen, and said coquettishly to Li Yuanji with a charming face.

"Of course, only I can use the money of the Tao family in the future!" As he said that, Li Yuanji laughed again.

"Prince, I'm almost ready!" Wei Han glanced at the woman sitting on Li Yuanji and said straightforwardly when she walked in.

Li Yuanji nodded and signaled the woman on her body to walk away. The woman was very tactful and insisted on blessing her body slightly, saying, "Then Xiangxue will take her back first!" As she said that, she walked out without saying a word.

Wei Han looked at the woman and said softly: "Don't the prince trust this woman?"

Li Yuanji raised his eyebrows, looked at Wei Han with his eyes slanted and said, "So what? I always have to do something around me. This woman who can do things and make me happy is just staying by my side, so what!"

What Li Yuanji hates the most is that others take it for granted. He doesn't like others' guesses about his thoughts, nor does he like others' questioning his actions.

"Do your business well, don't forget what you should do!" Li Yuanji's words were very cold. Wei Han took a deep breath and quickly walked out of the room.

Wei Han left, but he didn't see the clothes flashing through the garden. Of course, he didn't dare to look at them, because it was Li Yuanji's inner house. Although Li Yuanji liked fishing, he couldn't stand others' favors about his things.

For example, he could be optimistic about or even seduce the concubines around Prince Li Jiancheng, but he was not allowed to take the woman in the back house and be hooked up by others, even if that person was Li Jiancheng whom he always praised.

On the 14th day of the 14th day of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuanji finally dragged his "severely ill" body to the court, and showed Li Yuan the food and grass he collected to Li Yuan. Li Yuan was overjoyed and ordered him to send food and grass to Luoyang today.

Li Yuanji smiled and said that he was not healthy, but his second brother was polite and sent a capable general to help.

On the same day, Li Yuan issued an order to escort the food and grass by Changsun Wuji and Yuchi Gong. Although they were quite taboo, they had already discovered their whereabouts and had no choice but to respond.

Because the battle was in a stalemate, Changsun Wuji and Yuchi Gong were also quite anxious. They received the food here and escorted the food there to set off.

After leaving Chang'an City, Yuchi Gong always felt that things were going too smoothly. He was afraid that something would go wrong, so he secretly checked the food while resting. It didn't matter if he didn't check it. After checking, Yuchi Gong was shocked and screamed.

Changsun Wuji knew about Yuchi Gong. When he saw Yuchi Gong screaming, he hurried over. He saw that the food and grass were only the ones wrapped outside were good, and most of them were moldy. It was obviously his batch of food that had been watered.

What should I do? Now that the grain has left the city and was escorted by myself, I am afraid I will carry it myself if I have such a thing! Yuchi Gong's first reaction was that it was. Changsun Wuji couldn't be much better, his eyes were a little straight, and he looked at the food that was gone and he said something.

"This grain is also your responsibility to the army! And this transportation is not useful!" Yuchi Gong calmed down and slowly analyzed with Changsun Wuji.

"The King of Qi was intentional, because this batch of food is the military ration of the King of Qin and the Crown Prince. If something goes wrong with this food, who will win and lose on the battlefield will not necessarily be! If the King of Qin and the Crown Prince are both defeated, the emperor will probably be furious. In this way, the only one who gets the advantage is the King of Qi!" Seeing that Changsun Wuji heard it, he continued to say.

"And we are the ones who deliver the food. If the prince takes his anger, he will definitely think it was the King of Qin who was doing it. It's such a trick of killing two birds with one stone!" Changsun Wuji continued Yuchi Gong's words.

"Now there is no other way. Brother Changsun, let me listen to me and ask me to bring my brothers to see if there is a way!" Yuchi Gong knew that the matter was serious this time, so he didn't care about anything else and directly suggested to Changsun Wuji.

At this time, Changsun Wuji had no idea in his mind, and just nodded. Because this place is not far from Chang'an, Yuchi Gong arrived at Tao Jin's residence in just half a day.

When Yuchi Gong saw Tao Jin, he was not polite at all and shouted directly: "Brother, brother, I am waiting for you to help you this time!"

Tao Jin was stunned and hurriedly asked Yuchi Gong to explain the matter carefully. Yuchi Gong briefly told the moldy food, and then asked: "Brother, do you have a way? If not, brother, will I really die this time?"

Seeing a big man with a bearded face and holding him and shouting, Tao Jin was really unable to bear it, so he quickly pushed Yuchi Gong away and said, "You calm down first, I didn't say there was no way!"

When Yuchi Gong heard that there was a door, his eyes were lit up and he hurriedly said, "Then follow me!" Tao Jinyi pushed Yuchi Gong and said, "But you ask me to prepare some things, otherwise even if someone goes there, it will be useless!"
