The capital city of Chang'an, Xuanzheng Hall of Daming Palace.

The genius was lit up, and all the officials outside the hall were waiting for the list.

This place was originally the place where the Emperor of Tang Dynasty received court, but now it has replaced the narrower Hanyuan Hall, where the morning dynasty was together.

The guards and the fourth rank of civil and military officials stood in the courtyard in accordance with the order of the troupe. The servants responded from inside and outside. The emperor slowly walked out from both doors and was promoted to the imperial throne.

Shizhong Xuan Chao.

So, the officials sat down in their respective seats.

Among all the officials, Wei Zheng, the counselor, got up and came out. He coughed twice and resisted his discomfort: "The locust plague is raging, and the people are living in poverty. Jia Liangyong, the governor of Yunzhou, Henan Province, and Huang Qishan, the governor of Bozhou, concealed the disaster, and responded to the relief, deceived the superiors and subordinates, and ignored the lives and deaths of the people."

"According to statistics from various counties, towns and villages along the Youwei Mountains in Henan Province, from early November to early December, Yunzhou starved to death due to the spread of locust plague, and more than 7,600 people died of illness. Several bandits in Bozhou were rampant. The evil Buddha Black Banner Emperor believed in the emperor again, and Jiuyou Mountain also appeared everywhere. The remnants of the former Sui Dynasty caused trouble, and nearly 10,000 people died. Thousands of civilians were bewitched by the evil Buddha and built a lewd sacrifice! Heaven was angry and people resented!"

His sick face was filled with anger, and his voice was a little hoarse: "My memory, please kill Jia Liangyong and Huang Qishan! To face the ears and calm the public's anger!"

Wei Zheng was so murderous that all the officials of the court were silent.

The counselor was in charge of the court's arguments and was even the leader of the censors. He was more noble than the imperial envoy of the Censorate. He was in charge of the emperor's words and deeds, and investigated all officials' moralized government affairs.

The emperor sitting on the imperial throne looked calm and said slowly: "I am confused about this matter. There are so many people who have died in Henan Province, but I only learned more than half a month later... Everyone here, you are pillars of the Tang Dynasty and important officials of the country. As the saying goes, you will be clear when you listen to both sides. What do you think about this?"

There was a silence below.

The unbearable silence lasted for half a quarter of an hour.

The king of the Tang Dynasty finally spoke again.

"He took the Longwu Army out of the capital and took Jia Liangyong and Huang Qishan, and was tried by the Minister of Justice, Censor and the Three Departments of Dali Temple."

"Summoning the Henan Road Jiedushi Zhang Jieran back to Beijing, and ordered the observer Zhu Suiliang to temporarily lead the Henan Governor's Office, and the general office will deal with many matters in locust plagues and act cheaply."

The emperor made a decision lightly and the relevant officials in the hall took the order one after another.

"Report to Your Majesty that locust plague is urgent now, and monks of the three religions cannot participate in the response. They need to speed up the construction of weapons to deal with insect diseases. Please allow the Ministry of Works to suspend the construction of previous ships and allocate funds, and encourage craftsmen to make every effort to rush to drive out insect diseases to deal with the current locust plague."

The person who spoke was Chen Xian, the Minister of Works.

He said seriously: "Unless it is absolutely necessary, the country's fortunes cannot be moved. Craftsmen have always had many wonderful ideas, but they may have miraculous effects."

Xue Ji, a sectarian of the Secretariat, stood up: "Your Majesty, Xue Ji believes that Mr. Chen's words are bad. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce have their own responsibilities. The craftsmen are in Chang'an and have never even witnessed the insects in Henan, so they do not understand the fear of locust plagues at all. It is a bad idea to build a car behind closed doors."

When Chen Xian heard this, he exclaimed and said, "Then I'll hear Lord Xue!"

"There is no question about high opinion, but Xue Ji has a way."

He touched his beard: "I have heard before that wild beasts without wisdom will not be retaliated against by heavenly tribulation. There are many ferocious beasts that feed on insects in the southern barbarian islands overseas in Guangzhou. Why not capture them and drive them away to swallow the wolf. Wouldn't it be beautiful?"

Chen Xian laughed after hearing this: "Mr. Xue has indeed lived in the inner court for a long time. Once the ferocious beast is released, the harm will be even more serious. They only know how to kill and hunt. How can they eat insects obediently? The people are the ones who are really suffering, which is called adding fuel to the fire!"

Xue Ji was speechless for a moment and retorted: "A craftsman who does not understand military affairs and locust plagues is definitely not a good idea."

The emperor rubbed his forehead.

Although such a scene has happened too many times, officials argued and criticized each other, and it was a daily necessity in the morning court, but he was still a little annoyed.

"Since neither of you has any good plans, then sit down and rest first and listen to the opinions of others."

The emperor spoke, and the two officials could only shut up and sit down again.

"Dear colleagues."

The person who spoke this time sat in the first row with his left hand.

Shangshu Zuo Pushe Fang Xuanling slowly stood up.

Fang Xuanling's voice was stable: "According to the observation of Jianyouwei and the Taishi Bureau, when locusts gather, the number can increase by more than 20 times within three months, and the density can reach 50,000 locusts per mu. Each locust can swallow several trees every day, and the daily food consumed by locusts on each mu of land is equivalent to the food of twenty-two people."

"The nymph disaster occupied 1,000 acres of land, and there were 50 million locusts, and the daily consumption was 22,000 servings of food."

When the civil and military officials heard the detailed evaluation and numbers given by the Shangshu Province, they immediately looked unfavorable.

Even if there are people who are not good at arithmetic, they know what this amount of food loss represents.

The locust plague is another even more terrifying and huge refugee riot.

They not only eat all the visible food, but also create a large number of homeless refugees, and the deceased brings subsequent plagues and bandits... If they cannot be eliminated in time, there will be endless troubles.

Fang Xuanling stated: "...The causes of locust plague are complicated, and it is difficult to eliminate them in a short time, but it is not impossible to use the locust swarm."

The emperor urged: "Fang Qing, don't keep it in your mouth, come on."

"Yes, your Majesty."

The left prime minister, one of the two prime ministers of the dynasty, continued: "Ten days ago, Ao Shu, the commander of the Yizhou Chief of the Jiannan Road, found Chen and told the Chengdu Prefecture that a strange man had developed a drug for locust plague, called "Insects". After making it into the potion, it can kill many poisonous insects, including the locust swarm, with a remarkable effect."

"But it was urgent at the time, but there was no sufficient evidence to support it. Lord Ao just asked Chen for some medicinal materials to configure."

"But today I received the official documents from the Jiannan Road Observer and the governor of Yizhou Chen Jiyou, including several measures to deal with the locust plague in Jiannan Road, as well as the results of Shu at present."

Fang Xuanling paused: "The Yizhou Department of Jianyouwei sent many Youzhou guards to carry the "smoke of insects" and "spraying barrels" made by craftsmen. In Yizhou, Pengzhou, Shuzhou, Hanzhou, Jiazhou, Meizhou, Qiongzhou, Jianzhou, Zizhou and other prefectures, they launched an active attack on large-scale locust swarms, and have poisoned more than 9 million locusts. The victory in Jiannan has been greatly improved."

The emperor looked surprised: "There is such a strange medicine?"

"Your Majesty, I am a talented man and a stranger in the Tang Dynasty. There are always many talented man helping me in times of crisis! This is the destiny of heaven!"

All the officials felt sorry for their hearts.

The king and the minister clearly know each other well, but they still pretend not to know how to do this drama...

Fang Xuanling said again: "The "Insects Sorrow" was studied and tested by the Si Duwei Ao Shu, two Taoist priests, Dai Yi and Wu Qi, who worked in the local floating clouds, studied and tested the formula. They sprayed a lot of insect eggs in the local farmland, forests and mudflats, thus strangling a large number of insect eggs into the underground and forests, making it difficult for them to reunite into millions or even tens of millions, thus dividing and dismantling them."

"However, because the medicine is difficult to find, it will take time to make more "Seeing the Sorrow" to support other channels."

The emperor nodded slightly: "There are such ancient and warm-hearted people among the three religions, which is really a model."

"If you have any mistakes, you will be punished, and if you have any merits, you will be rewarded. This is the foundation of the founding of the Tang Dynasty."

"The Cloud View turns the tide in times of crisis and is a model for many small sects. A archway of "The Great Tang Dynasty Protects the Country" was given, and since then, the tribute is paid for every year, and the categories are not limited. The court returns 500 coins for the court and 1,000 coins for copper coins. As for the invention of the tribute "the sorrow of insects", the reward will be calculated after the disaster."

The Tang Dynasty court gave subsidies to important sects headed by the Three Deeds, Five Roads and Seven Temples in this way.

Through the nominal tribute, Shi Dao received a substantial annual reward, which was actually generous, but the scene was that the Tang Dynasty court looked better.

The name of the Floating Cloud View has been heard by all officials for the first time.

They were all ministers who had been with the king for many years, so naturally they understood that this view of the floating cloud appeared at the right time and was taken by His Majesty, and they must be a model for supporting the small sects of the three religions.

in short.

No matter how small the Fuyun Temple is, it will be one of the Tang Dynasty’s sects, and it will definitely get better and better. This is the will of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

...

Wudang Mountain.

On the Tuwu Mountain of Seventy-Two Peaks.

Yin Luofu's face was gloomy.

Lu Qingqing said carefully: "Uncle Master, Junior Brother Wu also contributed to his hometown this time, and I thought I would delay it."

Yin Luofu said coldly: "He can't handle the locust plague, so he should go back to the mountain to practice. You go down the mountain today and bring him back."

"yes."

Lu Qingqing received the order and sighed in her heart.

Junior brother, you angered Uncle Yin this time... You obviously said that you would come back in a few days, and it has been half a month.

She was really unsure whether she could bring Wu Qi back.
