Li Shimin was furious and was so angry that his mouth was full of smoke.
Seeing that the disaster of migratory locusts was about to come, Li Jing led an army to attack the Turks and repeatedly requested supplies.
If this plague cannot be completely eliminated, then this time, even if Li Jing is a war king, he will not be able to stop it.
There are problems both inside and outside.
This made Li Shimin very angry.
But what annoyed him the most was that someone connected this incident with his experience.
He said that he killed his father, killed his brother, and that his life experience was unfair, which aroused so much hatred.
Li Shimin threw the paper in his hand to the civil and military officials and shouted: "Sikong Zhangliang, I have an order to take down all these rumors immediately."
Before Zhang Liang could speak, Wei Zheng stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. It is more important to defend the people than to defend Sichuan."
The muscles on Li Shimin's face spasmed and he said angrily: "Prime Minister Wei, do you really want to watch them make up nonsense and slander our Tang Dynasty?"
Wei Zheng said: "You are an upright person, so what do you have to worry about?"
Li Shimin's hands were trembling. His health was not good to begin with, so he was afraid of shadows.
Several times, he wanted to kill someone.
Wei Zheng continued: "Wei Chen believes that the most important thing at the moment is to completely resolve this locust plague. We should take this opportunity to prove to everyone that we in the Tang Dynasty will stand on the side of the people.
."
"Then, let those hungry people go to the farmland in the suburbs to catch locusts. If they can get enough reward, they can get enough food and money."
Li Shimin originally planned to get angry, but after hearing Wei Zheng's words, he felt happy.
All civil and military officials nodded.
This was a rare piece of advice from him in recent days.
Only Changsun Shunde had a headache: "Your Majesty, ministers, the Ministry of Household Affairs now has no surplus food and money, and is unable to help those who are hungry to hunt and kill insects."
Li Shimin was shocked: "Where are the people?"
Changsun Shunde said: "Your Majesty, everything has been arranged. You will use the rest to deal with the Turks."
Li Shimin was so angry that he finally thought of a way, but now he didn't have enough funds and food, which made him very depressed.
then.
The officials talked to each other, and Wei Zheng and others took the lead, asking them to collect money and food. Under the leadership of Changsun Shunde, they all expressed that they did not have enough funds.
princess.
Li Shimin returned home and smashed his head in a rage.
"I'm so angry. Those old guys only pay lip service and can't think about the overall interests of the country."
The Queen Mother came in from the back hall and gave Li Shimin a cup of sugar.
Li Shimin asked while eating sweets: "What clothes are you wearing?"
Without saying anything else, she walked over and bowed deeply to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin was shocked and quickly stepped forward to support her, "What are you doing?"
"I would like to congratulate the Emperor and the Emperor."
Li Shimin said: "You don't need to say anymore, I will not kill Wei Zheng and others."
"It's not what I said. I have already thought about how to deal with this plague, and I have also invited an extraordinary and powerful man."
Li Shimin was a very shrewd man. He immediately thought of something and asked, "Are you going to the Hualong Temple?"
"Yes!" Regnar nodded.
"Taoist Wu Gu is indeed a top master."
Li Shimin's heart moved, he pulled her to sit down and asked: "What ability does this kid have? Isn't he just acting?"
In fact, he had already asked people to investigate Su Chen's origins, and he had almost found out about his past.
He is just an ordinary practitioner. His master has passed away long ago. His cultivation level has not even reached the fourth level of martial arts. If not for three years, his dojo would have been confiscated long ago.
Ordinary, ordinary.
However, in the past few days, his fortune-telling skills have been surprisingly effective, making him more and more famous.
Li Shimin also wondered how a person without true energy could predict the future and avert disaster?!
"Your Majesty, Taoist Wu Gu has real talent and knowledge, and he is definitely not pretending to be a ghost."
Then, he told everything he encountered in Hualong Temple.
"What!?" Regnar was shocked.
"This is not a disaster, this is simply a godsend!"
"Can it be eaten?!" Wang Yao was stunned after hearing this.
Li Shimin was completely stunned, with a look of disbelief on his face.
As soon as the empress waved, the old eunuch named Wuji Palace brought out a tray with several plates of moths on it, some with boiled water, some fried, and some fried.
She was the first to taste it, which frightened Li Shimin, but when he saw that the queen did not move, she looked very happy.
He was completely stunned.
At the same time, his eyes were also shining with hope.
Without saying a word, he directly threw a locust into his mouth, chewed it for a while, and swallowed it.
A moment.
Li Shimin burst into tears!
"Hahahaha, it's so good, it's really God's blessing, God's favor, God's favor, natural disasters and man-made disasters are God's gift, haha, it's really wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!"
Then, he picked it up and said, "Kuanshi Nu, you did a good job."
"This is not my credit, only the credit of Taoist Wu Gu."
Li Shimin nodded and said: "Yes, he has anticipated that this is a gift from heaven, and has proposed the idea of letting us do it. It seems that not only can he do divination, but he is also a rare ruler of the country.
talent!"
He stroked his beard and said very proudly: "It deserves a reward."
"What should I reward him with? Just give it to him and never take it back again."
"It's an honor for me, but it's still a little short of it."
Li Shimin nodded, but he was wondering in his heart, why is the empress so excited today?
While she was still wondering, she saw that the empress had someone bring a tray over, with a rice plant in it.
"This is rice. Even though it was attacked by locusts, it can still grow so much wheat. Who is this?!"
The queen smiled slightly and said nothing.
Li Shimin was shocked: "Could it be Taoist Wu Gu?"
"Yes, it's him. This is no ordinary rice."
Li Shimin took it and looked at it, and said in surprise: "These millets are from ordinary farmland, and each grain is more than a dozen from ordinary farmland."
He opened his eyes and said, "Why?"
"There is a kind of magical rice grown in Taoist Wu Gu's field. The rice in it has a faint energy that can improve your cultivation. The annual output can reach more than 8,000 kilograms."
laugh!
"What?!"
Li Shimin stood up suddenly, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Even the guards and father-in-law outside were frightened and ran in one after another.
Seeing the couple look at each other, they quickly returned to their seats.
"Are you sure?" Li Shimin asked excitedly.
"The captain of the guard said that their family has three acres of land. They are all farmers. They know very well. It cannot be false."
Li Shimin stood up and walked around the hall, his hands trembling slightly.
"Hahaha!" Chen Xiaobei laughed.
"Yes, yes, God bless, God bless the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty!"
This is a divine weapon, I'm afraid Taoist Wu Gu won't give it to you easily."
Li Shimin's intuition told him that if he didn't want to, then he would get it.
However, he still endured it, weighed it, and said: "This person is extremely gifted and gifted. If we take it by force and become an enemy, it will be a huge blow to Datang."
The queen nodded vigorously.
Li Shimin asked: "If I ask him to pay, will he be willing?"
"This time I went there in person, but he didn't say anything. I was afraid he would be unhappy. He might have gotten it from food."
Li Shimin's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "I will personally visit him to convince him and let him understand what I mean. He is an extraordinary and strong man, and he will never watch others suffer."
"I hope the emperor will not rush there. He refused. Perhaps he was testing whether we have the ambition to serve the country."
"You mean, he wants to see what we should do? Maybe, he is still testing us!"
After hearing this, Li Shimin believed it more and more.
An extraordinary and powerful man would not care about these things, but he did not give this artifact to the queen, nor did he tell the origin of this artifact.
Even if Li Shimin dies, nothing will change about this matter.
We must find a way!
"Wuji, convey my will. In addition, I immediately ordered that the whole family must eat locusts. This is God's grace!"
