Chapter 146 Locusts attack, boundless

Similarly, there are also many students who can influence future generations for thousands of years!

Shangshu Youcheng, who had just jumped out, couldn't help but feel a deep sense of shame when faced with Qin Wenyuan's panic remarks, and he wanted to dig a mouse hole and crawl in.

These words, whether they were spoken by Qin Wenyuan or Wei Zheng, made him feel ashamed!

He quickly lowered his head, covered his face and fled, returning to his original position, never daring to look at Wei Zheng again.

The destructive power of these words is really too great.

Even he, who came from a noble family, would not dare to risk the disapproval of the world to refute such holy words.

Otherwise, all the scholars in the world can spray them to death!

"Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading!"

"If what Mr. Wei said is true, then Mr. Qin's words can really be compared to the Analects of Confucius of our ancestors. I bow to you and admire you."

"From now on, I will definitely keep these few words of Mr. Qin in mind, and always remind myself to be a true scholar."

An old man with white beard and hair who was over sixty years old raised his hands and said to Wei Zheng, his voice full of admiration.

It was Kong Yingda, a famous Confucian in the Tang Dynasty and a descendant of Confucius. He was the prince and tutor and the current Imperial Academy.

With so many honors attached to him, he was really highly respected and famous all over the world. He was the object of admiration for countless students of the Tang Dynasty.

In terms of knowledge, no one in the entire Tang Dynasty can compare with him! If he claims to be first, no one dares to claim second place!

At this moment, even such a person praised Qin Wenyuan's remarks so much. One can imagine how exquisite these words are.

However, the next moment, Kong Yingda looked at Wei Zheng, his eyes searching, and asked: "But Mr. Wei, are these remarks really made by Mr. Qin?"

Such shocking remarks were made by Qin Wenyuan, who was not yet eighteen years old. He still didn't believe it.

If he hadn't believed in Yu Wei Zheng's character and what other officials said, Kong Yingda would not have believed a word he said.

After the words fell, all the officials in the court also looked at Wei Zheng, trying to find any flaws in Wei Zheng's expression.

However, Wei Zheng remained unfazed by the honor and disgrace, and smiled calmly and said: "Yes, these remarks are indeed made by Mr. Qin, and they are absolutely true."

"I, Wei Zheng, can also use my reputation as a guarantee."

"Master Kong, you are too polite. Your knowledge is as deep as the ocean. Wei deeply feels that Mr. Qin is far behind!"

With these words, Kong Yingda believed everything.

He smiled, stroked his gray beard, and said, "Master Wei, don't praise me anymore. What you said just now is enough to prove that Mr. Qin's knowledge is no less than that of the great Confucians at that time."

"What's more, I was lucky enough to read Mr. Qin's imperial examination questions, and read them countless times afterwards."

This is true. Kong Yingda only valued Qin Wenyuan so much after seeing Qin Wenyuan's strategies for governing the country.

Moreover, regarding Wei Zheng's comments about Qin Wenyuan, Kong Yingda only thought that he was talking nonsense. How could an uneducated person have such a deep understanding and speak such enlightening words!?

Then, he continued the next moment: "Master Wei, you have a good relationship with Mr. Qin. I hope that one day you can organize a banquet for me to formally get to know Mr. Qin. We can also communicate more together when we are free in the future!"

"It's easy to talk about. If you have time, Wei will definitely come to your door with Mr. Qin to make trouble." Wei Zheng responded somewhat perfunctorily.

At this moment, listening to Qin Wenyuan, who was praised by great scholars all over the world, Li Shimin's mouth was grinning directly to his ears, and he was grinning from ear to ear.

My heart can't help but be filled with deep pride and pride.

Qin Wenyuan, Qin Wenyuan, he can actually compose such a poem, which always surprises people.

He is indeed my son-in-law.

Immediately, he looked at Censor Wang Guang, his smile faded, and his eyes became cold.

The cold voice suddenly rang out.

"Censor Wang Guang, do you have anything else to say?"

As Li Shimin's voice fell, all the officials in the court turned their attention to Wang Guang, the censor.

There was ridicule, contempt, and gloating in his eyes.

Not all officials are officials who belong to aristocratic families.

Many officials who come from poor families are not ridiculed and bullied by officials from wealthy families.

Even though their knowledge is better and more powerful than officials from aristocratic families.

But there is no way. The threshold of the aristocratic family is like a big mountain, which has been pressing down on them, so that they can only let themselves be oppressed.

At this time, they naturally have many people who are willing to see them make a fool of themselves.

"No...no, no, no, no!"

After what happened just now, how dare the censor Wang Guang dare to impeach and report Qin Wenyuan for treason!

Even the descendants of Confucius, the saint, now praise him as being comparable to his ancestors, and he is simply a living saint.

Above the court, countless officials respected him.

If we continue to frame Qin Wenyuan at this time, wouldn't we be committing crimes against the odds and simply seeking death?

"snort!"

"In this case, you also know that you are wrong, then..."

Having said this, Li Shimin narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Wang Guang with cold eyes, "Wang Guang, you should know what kind of crime it would be to slander an important person with a title for no reason!?"

At the end of the sentence, the voice became softer, but no one could ignore the weight of this questioning voice.

For this guy who wanted to put Qin Wenyuan to death, Li Shimin had no intention of letting him go.

"Cut...cut off the official position, throw him into the sky prison, and ask for execution after the fall!" Wang Guang, the censor, said with a pale face.

As the imperial censor, he naturally knows the laws of the imperial court very well.

"Okay, since you understand, then I'll just do business."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said calmly: "Come on, Shadow Guards, pull him down, throw him into the sky prison, and kill him after the fall!"

Li Shimin directly shouted instructions to the shadow guards outside the palace, showing no mercy at all.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen doesn't dare anymore, Wei Chen doesn't dare anymore!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When the censor Wang Guang heard that Li Shimin was going to behead himself, he was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy.

At the same time, he turned his attention to the officials of the aristocratic families, hoping that they would come to rescue him.

After all, the reason why he slandered Qin Wenyuan this time was for the glory of the family!!

In terms of emotion and reason, everyone in the family is ashamed of Wang Guang!

but……

No one cares at all!!

Everyone pretended not to see it, as if it was nothing to do with them.

At this time, Wang Guang, the censor, could not understand that he was completely abandoned as an outcast.

This game is completely a gamble on life.

If Qin Wenyuan loses, he will naturally be forced to death by the family!

If Qin Wenyuan wins, someone from the family will naturally take the blame, and the censor Wang Guang is the one who takes the blame!

Censor Wang Guang's face suddenly turned pale. No one stood up for him. He could almost guess his own ending.

In this way, the censor Wang Guang was taken away by the shadow guards in despair, and the court returned to peace again.

"My dear friends, who else wants to play?" Li Shimin looked around the court ministers and asked again.

This time, no one dared to say anything.

Above the court, peace was restored.

…………

The vertical sun is the day when locusts attack.

Qin Wenyuan was respectfully invited to the city wall because he offered a strategy that could eliminate all hidden dangers of locusts.

Qin Wenyuan's original intention was for her to follow him up to the city wall.

But this time, Mrs. Changle did not follow.

Changle thought to himself that punishing the hidden danger of locusts was a major event, and there must be many important figures he was familiar with on the city walls.

Li Jing, Qin Shubao, Cheng Yaojin, Wei Zheng,...

Even his father Li Shimin might be on the city wall.

How could a woman like myself be in such an important environment?

And she is also afraid of being exposed.

My husband is so smart, maybe if he meets an acquaintance's eyes, he will be exposed, and Qin Wenyuan will see the flaw.

Therefore, Changle refused to come forward even if he was beaten to death, which made Qin Wenyuan depressed for a long time.

On the city walls, indeed, there are many important figures today.

Standing with him, Mr. Qin, were Li Jing and Qin Shubao, the two most famous generals in the Tang Dynasty.

At this moment, Li Jing looked at the vast plains ahead. Although it was calm and calm, the scouts had just reported that the locusts were the slowest and would arrive in half an hour.

According to the intelligence from the scouts, the locusts were so dark and terrifying.

Therefore, Li Jing worriedly said: "Master Qin, we don't need to send troops out of the city. Is this... is this really good?"

In his idea, three lines of defense should be set up. First, a sea of ​​soldiers should be set up one kilometer outside the city, ready to go.

Second, after the soldiers are the cavalry.

The third one is the archers and catapults on the city wall.

This is the best solution in his opinion.

However, Qin Wenyuan did not do this. He just asked the soldiers to stand by, placed many livestock outside the city, and sent people to build ponds, which is very puzzling.

At this moment, Qin Wenyuan smiled softly and replied: "General Li, are you worried? You don't know the reason for Qin's arrangement?"

Li Jing nodded without hesitation.

Qin Wenyuan did not give in and explained: "General Li, locusts are actually not terrible. We just need to prescribe the right medicine."

"I impose sanctions on locusts from several aspects. First, we deal with them from their natural enemies."

"To solve the problem from the perspective of natural enemies, we also consider it from the perspective of the food chain. Locusts are most afraid of chickens, ducks, bees, frogs, lizards and other insects as well as domestic animals."

"Two miles away from Chang'an City, General Li only saw domestic animals such as chickens and ducks because of the field of vision, but in fact I also asked many soldiers to catch frogs and lizards."

"It's just that the time in a day is limited, so what you can catch is limited."

"This is the first line of defense."

"The second is to solve it from the place of residence."

"Locusts also have their favorite places to live. They generally like to live in low-lying grasslands. When locusts come, we can transform these places into fish ponds and pond landscapes."

"The third step is the last step and our last resort, dichlorvos!"

Qin Wenyuan said seriously: "Yesterday, I specially asked General Cheng to search for various raw materials for dichlorvos, and also sent people to gather all the manufacturers in the city to make the formula I gave."

"Today, we finally produced the most lethal weapon, dichlorvos!"

Dichlorvos?!

Li Jing and Qin Shubao were both stunned.

What the hell is this?! I’ve never heard of it.

Can this really kill locusts?!

Neither of them really believed it.

However, Qin Wenyuan was well-known, and what he just said about the need to prescribe the right medicine was indeed reasonable, so the two of them did not ask more questions.

Anyway, the command of this battle rests entirely with Qin Wenyuan, and the two of them are just lieutenants.

At this moment, a scout's voice sounded, "General, the locusts are coming!!"

After the words fell, the expressions of everyone present changed.

Sure enough, the next second, they saw black-pressed locusts.

"Catapult, release!!"

The moment he appeared, the voices of Li Jing's lieutenants resounded throughout Chang'an City.

Just because Qin Wenyuan has a plan, it doesn't mean that catapults and other means of attacking people will not be implemented.

As soon as the sound fell, huge rocks rose into the sky with huge flames and smoke.

If you are lucky enough to be near Chang'an City, countless people will look up and see huge flaming stones quickly rising into the sky, reaching a height of more than 20 meters in the sky, and rushing towards the distance.

The first wave of attacks on Chang'an City has begun! It is a truly all-round, precise and full saturation attack!

In an instant, all the flaming stones flew rapidly, and within ten seconds, they rushed straight towards the bottom of the locust wave.

Boom! Boom!!

For a moment, the earth in the distance continued to make heavy muffled sounds, and in just the blink of an eye, countless dust flew up.

On the city wall, all the soldiers felt a burning sensation on their faces, causing them to squint their eyes.

The wave of locusts at the front was so overwhelming that it created a huge crater in an instant.

But the locusts behind were not afraid at all, and like robots, they trampled on the places where their compatriots were crushed to death.

Sizzssssssssssssss...

Almost instantly, the domestic animals and insects also started to take action.

"Be prepared to face the first round of locust attacks in Chang'an City,"

Li Jing looked solemn and stared into the distance.

In the field of vision, those domestic animals and insects have established great achievements.

The huge stones of the catapults could only kill a small area of ​​locusts, but they brought the entire locust tide to a standstill, but many locusts still passed them and continued to move towards Chang'an City.

According to convention, when the first round of defense is breached, the archer's attack will follow.

Sure enough, Li Jing and Qin Shubao didn't need to say anything. Their respective lieutenants shouted loudly: "Archers, shoot!!"

In an instant, countless arrows shot up into the sky, like thousands of arrows fired in unison, completely embellishing the sky into pure black.

Stab!

The arrows penetrated countless locusts, but they still could not stop their progress.

The second line of defense was also lost?

Li Jing and Qin Shubao's hearts sank. The archers could be said to be their last resort.

No, no!

The endless locusts were countless, and most of them stopped beside the river.
