In the second year of Zhenguan, the capital was drought and locusts rose. Emperor Taizong went into the garden to see the grain, saw locusts, picked up several of them and said, "People take grain as their life, and you eat them, which is harmful to the people. People have made mistakes.
, I am here to give someone a good idea, but he will hurt my heart and harm the people." He was about to swallow him, and his left and right immediately advised, "I am afraid that I will get sick, so I can't." Emperor Taizong said, "I hope to get disasters. Why do I want to change my disaster?
Avoid the disease?" Then swallowed it. The locusts no longer cause disaster.——Wu Jing
"The locust plague is indeed coming!" Li Tai looked at the locusts appearing in the vegetable garden of the Prince of Yue's Mansion, and then stepped on them to death.
Li Tai looked serious and said to the maid beside him: "Bai He, please come to the pavilion. I have something to do to find him!"
"As for the order!" Bai He raised Li Tai's head, and his beautiful legs accounted for five points, and his skin was like jade fat.
Hearing what Li Tai said, she turned around and left. She walked out of the palace, her every move was very dignified, and she almost made every move.
Soon, a middle-aged Confucian scholar, wearing a scarlet dress and a green jade pendant around his waist, quickly walked to the field.
He looked carefully in the direction of Li Tai, and saw Bai He going first, then he took a step to the pavilion.
Li Tai smiled and bowed, saying, "Yu Changshi, you are here. The pavilion is simple, please condescend."
"Have you met King Yue!" Yu Zhining saluted Li Tai respectfully, and sat down without seeing any pickiness.
"Now the locust disaster in the court is serious. I, Aye, personally swallowed the locusts, which made me sigh, but I also wanted to do my best to eliminate the locusts!"
Li Tai said this and took out a proposal and handed it to Yu Zhining, saying, "I opened the mansion and managed acres of land and had some experience in treating locusts. Unfortunately, I am a phoenix in Wenfeng. I also asked Yu Changshi to polish it and write an article.
The article is reported to my father!”
Yu Zhining looked at the article taken from Li Tai and the plan to control locusts written by Li Tai. Tiao Chen was very clear.
Yu Zhining didn't know if these were useful, but Yu Zhining knew that the King of Yue in front of him was indeed not an ordinary idle prince.
How could this King of Yue be simple?
When Kong Yingda was a Ph.D. in elementary school, he asked about the matter at the end of the Han Dynasty who caused the end of the Han Dynasty to be strong but the death.
Others have their own answers, either Dong Zhuo, aristocratic families, or land annexation, but only King Yue answered Confucianism.
Because the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism alone, and all officials and officials were Confucianism, all the problems of the Han Dynasty were problems that Confucianism could not solve.
Therefore, the Han Dynasty perished and destroyed by Confucianism!
Hearing this answer, Kong Yingda vomited blood and fainted. After waking up, he resigned. Fortunately, the saint persuaded him to stop!
When Yu Zhining thought of this, he did not dare to underestimate the King of Yue in front of him. After carefully reading Li Tai's Lunce, he said,
"Why did the King of Yue hand over this matter to me? The saint likes you very much, and the saint will definitely pay attention to your opinions."
Hearing this, Li Tai was stunned and then replied:
"Since Confucian Dong Zhongshu forcibly integrated the theory of the five elements, yin and yang, and strange things into Confucianism, proposing the induction of heaven and man.
It also said, "The country will suffer a defeat that is unrighteous, and the heaven will first cause disasters to be criticized; if you don't know how to reflect on yourself, you will also make strange things to be wary of them; if you don't know how to change, you will suffer even if you lose."
Although I, Aye, are the king of Tao, have been working very hard these years...
In addition, the affairs between me and Kong Yingda, Confucian scholars hate me so much, so this thing is left to you to mention, otherwise the government and the country..."
"Your King Yue really has a deep misunderstanding of Confucianism..." Yu Zhining said no longer with this topic, "Your King Yue, what benefits will it be for you if I submit this ethics to you!"
"It is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, so it is beneficial to me, Li Tai!" Li Tai replied seriously.
These few words made Yu Zhining feel that the big bell roared in his heart, as if the man who changed his name to Shimin had made a wish to save the world and safe the people at the age of 20, and then realized him step by step
It's right.
"Zhi Ning will submit this policy tomorrow, and he will definitely live up to the entrustedness of King Yue!" Yu Zhining resisted his excitement and answered solemnly.
After Yu Zhining said this, he respectfully took Li Taila away and quickly left in the direction of his house.
"Yu Changshi is coming to our Yue Palace. He said that the king farming is either a disgrace to his ethics or a loss of ambition. Why has the king given him such a contribution now?" Bai He saw Yu Changshi go far away and couldn't help asking himself.
Confused in my heart.
"He is different from you. You are my father-in-law, so my mother will let you follow me, and everything is based on my will.
But Yu Changshi was the chief sent to me by Aye, who was mainly in charge of the affairs of the Yue Palace, so what could I do to him!
He was born in Confucianism and it was normal for him to look down on Tianshelang. Aye often scolded others.
So instead of seeing each other, it is better to send him a gust of wind and soar up to 90,000 miles.
If he could become a fourth-rank official from the head of the fourth-rank royal palace, he wouldn't have to stay in my Yue Palace.
So of course it’s my good, and he’s good too!”
Li Tai said calmly to Bai He, but he didn't hide anything.
At this point, Li Tai was helpless. He said the demise of the Han Dynasty, which was caused by Confucianism, which almost made Kong Yingda die of anger.
I underestimated the power of Confucianism.
The Han Dynasty respected Confucianism alone and abolished all schools of thought, so it suppressed the hundreds of schools of thought to the extreme. Later, after experiencing the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the real knowledge that could be left was naturally Confucianism.
Although I was only seven years old when I said this, it also completely insulated myself from Confucian students.
After all, any student who can come to him knows that he has no interest in Confucianism.
Even if Yu Zhining is a kind and upright person, he has a Confucian background and can only be said to be decent.
So I'd better give him a compliment and let him take advantage of his power to overcome official positions from the fourth rank to the fourth rank.
"Let's not worry about him!" Li Tai waved his hand, "Let's go and see the plants in the fields, how they are growing today!"
"Others, the Wanghou family planted some peonies, osmanthus, green lotus, and peony in their yard. Only your yard is made of wheat, Luosu, and Hugua. It is beautiful even if you see it. When others see it, they don't think it is from Wanghou family.
The yard!" Bai He said helplessly.
"I remember that I planted acre of white buns. I don't know who cared about it. I also used a lot of water to water the white buns, and almost kept the white buns to death!" Li Tai heard Bai He's words, and he gave a little bit of it.
make fun of.
"The white folded zither is as white as snow, and is a noble man among the flowers. This is the flowers that the prince's mansion should plant!" Bai He emphasized.
"Okay, okay!" Li Tai nodded, "Maintain it first. These white folds are not for viewing, and they will be of great use in the future!"
Li Tai looked into the whole countryside. Since he opened his house, he has spent his thoughts on this field. People outside called him the king of the field, and they also knew that they were the boring Confucian scholars called him first.
But so what? After all, I can’t fight for it in Confucianism and Taoism. Do I still want to rebel against Li Shimin in martial arts?
I can only choose to do some dirty and tiring work to see if I can take a different path!
The biggest expectation is just that I hope that I will be free and smooth in this life, without any disasters or difficulties.
At least it was very comfortable to be a prince in the Tang Dynasty, especially his father was Li Shimin and his second son Li Tai, so he was very favored. He was granted ten thousand households in vain and one thousand households in actual possession, and he could control this at will.
Labor and taxes for thousands of households.
In the early Tang Dynasty, each household (calculated by five entries) was calculated as one ent, and the distribution of 80 mu of land was distributed, and each entrée rented two stones of millet, 2 zhang of silk, 3 taels of cotton, and 2.5 zhang of hemp fields were used to plant hemp fields, and 3 catties of hemp fields were used to plant hemp fields. The prince's share of food is two-thirds, and a thousand households is a considerable primitive accumulation, not to mention that the prince can receive salary subsidies for the court, which is generous.
If you want to spend money in the Tang Dynasty and wait for death, this money will be enough for you to have a happy life, and at least it will be no problem to buy a smile for a thousand dollars.
But unfortunately, after accepting Li Tai's identity, I have to strive to be the best.
If you don’t fight, even if Li Shimin loves his son and takes good care of himself, he will be Li Zhi’s brother and become the prince of Xiaoyao.
But even if Li Zhi passes the hurdle, what about Wu Zetian?!
As long as his direct identity as Taizong is still alive and he does not take the initiative to change history, he will be destined to be unable to escape this butcher knife.
So I have no choice. The so-called Happy Free King is impossible for me.
"If you want to build your own basic foundation, you must first have the opportunity to work...
The army is Aye's basic foundation. Whoever touches him will die, and even if he wins over, he will be subject to others.
The important Confucian ministers are Li Chengqian's basic foundation. As long as he does not make mistakes, those who value the monarch, minister and minister are all his hardcore.
The Longxi nobles could completely sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. As long as the foundation was not involved, the Longxi nobles represented by Changsun would never take action.
As for the Five Family Qiwang, hehe, even my father doesn’t like him, will he look down on me?
It would be better to find an opportunity to bury their whole family, and maybe they can step on their bodies and make a lot of money.
So, there are really not many things I can choose as a basic platform!”
Li Tai sighed silently, "There is still time, let's take a look at Yu Zhining's choice.
Xiao Xiao threw the stone and asked for directions. If he couldn't do it, he would throw it a few more times. Anyway, I'm just an eight-year-old kid now, and I still have time!"
Let Yu Zhining go to throw a stone to ask for directions, while he continued to stay in the countryside of the Yue Palace and record his planting experience.
"Bai He, please continue to give me instructions. I don't want to see locusts in my Prince Yue's Mansion.
Let the people in the yard form a patrol team during the day, and locusts come in and step on them all to death.
At night, I set up a bonfire in the blank space in the vegetable garden to attract mosquitoes to come and burn it.
I can't control other places, but if the crops in our Yue Palace are gnawed by locusts, then someone will be responsible for it!"
Li Tai gave Bai He one by one with a serious expression.
"No! Honor the King's Order!" Bai He nodded and answered.
Bai He didn't know why Li Tai attached so much importance to the vegetable garden, but since it was Li Tai's instructions, he just did it seriously.
Li Tai looked at the vegetable garden and thought silently in his heart:
"When Yu Zhining's argument comes, no matter whether he says it or not, I think Aye will think of me soon.
Most of the contents are related to farming, but Yu Zhining came from a wealthy family and was from a wealthy family. He was a wealthy gentry who was not involved in the spring of life and did not understand the specific farming.
Every content in the discussion needs to be implemented down-to-earth. Only by having farming experience can we propose solid solutions.
So as long as this argument is made, Aye wants to notice himself who has been farming.
There is no need to brag about yourself. I think the vegetable garden you grow is the best business card!
This is your best opportunity.
Even if Aye doesn’t let him take charge of the matter, as long as he can follow the control of locusts, even if he is a mascot, he can still gain political qualifications for the future!
Being famous, don’t be afraid of being early!”
Of course, the worst thing is that Yu Zhining's argument was submitted to the court, and even the waves did not flourish.
However, for Li Tai, at most he lost such an opportunity, so he would wait for the next opportunity.
In fact, Yu Zhining felt like he had a treasure when he got the governance method proposed by Li Tai in line with reality.
Li Shimin had just made a locust swallowing performance. Regardless of whether it is true or false, at least during this period of time, political correctness is to control the locust plague.
As long as officials with sufficient political sensitivity are sufficient, even if they don’t know how to solve the locust plague, they will still have to hang their beams and sting their thighs today. With the spirit of staying up late before the exam, they will write a gorgeous article on locust control.
The content of the article is to praise Li Shimin's actions as the saint who swallows locusts, who is really crying when those who see them and those who hear them are surprised!
In fact, Li Shimin was also patient and looked at the memorial sent by the civil servants below.
After deleting a lot of "Sage, did you eat?" "Sage, did you sleep well?" "Sage, do you need to take a day off after eating locusts?"... After the boring memorials, it is really related to the specific control of locusts.
There are very few articles.
Even if an article mentions the control of locusts, the most important thing is that the saints need to diligently cultivate virtue. With the response of heaven and man, the locust plague will naturally disappear.
To a certain extent, these articles point to Erfeng and scold him for being unethical!
Li Shimin became more and more angry when he read these articles, but he had no choice.
Because since Dong Zhongshu proposed the response of heaven and man and linked natural disasters to the king's morality, as the emperor, he would have to bear this responsibility after disasters occur!
As the saying goes, "The country will suffer a defeat that is unrighteous, and the heaven will first cause disasters to be criticized; if you don't know how to reflect on yourself, you will also make strange things to be wary of them; if you don't know how to change, you will suffer even."
At this moment, facing the locust plague everywhere, to be honest, Li Shimin really has no choice!
Li Shimin looked at the memorials one by one, and the more he read them, he became more angry. He couldn't help but stretch out his hand and pushed them. The memorials were pushed to the ground with a thud.
Li Shimin angrily said: "There is a thousand words written in the book, but there is no practical matter. How can I cultivate virtue and virtue still be needed!"
Faced with Li Shimin's anger, everyone around him immediately knelt all over the ground, and for a moment, the entire Eastern Palace fell into peace.
But at this time, the internal supervisor outside the room sang, "Duke Xing asked for a meeting."
"Let Xuanling come in." Li Shimin calmed down when he heard Fang Xuanling's arrival and spoke.
Fang Xuanling came in and saw that the memorials were being scattered under Li Shimin's feet were being reorganized by the eunuchs, and asked, "Why is the saint angry?"
"It's not because of the locust plague!" Li Shimin pressed the temple, "There is a thousand words to write, but no one can relieve the worries!"
"If this happens, the ministers brought a good prescription this time, hoping to help the saints cure the disease." Fang Xuanling said calmly.
"Oh?!" Li Shimin was surprised and happy when he heard this.
He took a memorial from Fang Xuanling, which was the one that Yu Zhining drove out overnight.
