Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 98
Piff was furious and blood spattered five steps.

When the emperor was angry, he would lie dead for thousands of miles!
Li Er is the emperor, and he is a young and powerful emperor with lofty ambitions. Li Er did not get angry, but his gloomy expression cast a chill over the entire Taiji Palace.

"Your Majesty, according to the current situation, it seems very pessimistic!" Changsun Wuji said with a sad face, "This locust plague is much bigger than we originally expected, and there are 48 state capitals in the entire Tang Dynasty. , According to the state government report, the second batch of locusts has hatched in some places, and now the fields and fields look like floating, there are countless!"

Wei Zheng also said: "That's right. The larvae in Chang'an alone are already in swarms. This year's catastrophe may be inevitable. Moreover, the price of food has risen to more than twice that of previous years, even compared to last year's drought. Nothing less than that!
According to the old minister, we still need to discuss a good plan first to prepare for emergencies! "

"Could it be that the strategy of eating chickens and ducks some time ago has not seen its success?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng, and there was already a trace of imperceptible fear in his words, and asked: "Could it be that the local officials are perfunctory and can't implement it?"

Wei Zheng sighed, and said, "Your Majesty, although chickens and ducks are a good way to eat chickens and ducks, but there are no large numbers of chickens and ducks gathered in various places. Besides, the locusts are too fierce today, there are dozens of them in a foot of land. There are many birds and they grow very fast, and it takes time for chickens and ducks to digest after eating, so it is not satisfactory if one grows and the other grows!"

"That's right! Locusts in some places have already grown wings, and it's even more difficult for chickens and ducks to catch them!" Changsun Wuji nodded heavily, and said: "The insects in one place have not been cleared, and another place is flying one after another. Repeatedly, both people and livestock are exhausted. It is only April, and the locusts are already so rampant. If it comes to May or June, I can't imagine it!"

Li Er looked at Fang Xuanling who was silent at the side, and asked, "Does Fang Aiqing have a good plan?"

Hearing Li Er calling him, Fang Xuanling stepped forward, considered his words, and said, "Your Majesty, since the locust disaster is inevitable, what I think about now is how to save the people. We all know that a catastrophe Afterwards there will be a great epidemic, and the two are intertwined. The food for life and the medicine for medical treatment need to be prepared in advance. I implore Your Majesty, you must not open warehouses to release food unless it is absolutely necessary, and soldiers and horses from all over the country must also be stationed in the city. To prevent refugees from spreading everywhere and riots!"

Li Er wanted to get angry, and after dismissing Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, he kept turning around the room. For the first time, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness for something that hadn't happened yet. .

"Your Majesty!" The eldest grandson came, looked at Li Er who was extremely irritable and asked, "Why is Your Majesty so worried? Could it be that something happened in the court?"

Seeing the eldest grandson, Li Er's irritable heart was extinguished a little bit, and he sighed: "Guanyin maid, do you think I am the most incompetent emperor in history? Now the locust plague has already made me burnt out before it arrived. Listen to Wuji It is said that the price of grain in Chang'an has skyrocketed by two or three times, and the urgent reports sent by the state governments from all over the country also hope that I can order the opening of warehouses to sell grain at a par price to lower the price of grain.

Even the strategy of sharing food between chickens and ducks that I am confident in can only slow down the disaster. Last year, there was a severe drought, and now it is plagued by locusts, and there will be epidemics next. I really can't hold it anymore! "

It is hard to imagine that Li Er would have such a sense of powerlessness. The eldest grandson is very clear. Only when Li Er is alone in front of him can he express his emotions without reservation. At this time, he is no longer a high-ranking emperor, nor is he a majestic general. , but an ordinary man.

He also has sadness, helplessness, and helplessness. If it was just a simple disaster, maybe Li Er would not be like this at all. It was all because of one sentence, Huangquan Tianshou!
Killing his brother and abandoning his father was wrong, but years of natural disasters pushed him to the end of the cliff, and some people made a big fuss about it, hoping to push Li Er down the abyss through the plague of locusts.

So now Li Er is facing enemies on all sides, not only needs to care about the locust plague, but also needs to prevent the plague after the locust plague, even if he is the Lord of the Tang Dynasty, Li Er now has more than enough heart but not enough power!

"Isn't Your Majesty following the method of developing pesticides with the Imperial Physician of the Imperial Hospital and Immortal Sun? Why don't you summon Immortal Sun immediately, maybe there is another way?" The eldest grandson suggested to Li Er, who couldn't bear it, looking at the restless Li Er.

"No! There was a secret report on the [-]th of the month yesterday, saying that the research and development over there has reached the last moment. It is said that Daoist Sun and the imperial physicians have been working day and night for several days. We can't disturb them at this time." Li Er waved. Waving his hand, he rejected the eldest grandson's suggestion, and said in a low voice: "Maybe this is my last hope. If it is successfully developed, it will solve the urgent need. If not."

"Your Majesty must not be so discouraged. If anything happens, I will accompany Your Majesty to stop you. Since Your Majesty can't bear to disturb Sun Shenxian's research, why don't we go to Zhangjiazhuang to see it in person? You haven't had a good rest these days, go out for a walk Changing your mood is worse than being bored in the palace!" The eldest grandson smiled, stretched out his hands to hold Li Er's arm, and said: "Besides, the fief of Pu'an is in Jingyang, and the concubine will still be there during the Chinese New Year. I've seen her before, and I don't know what's going on now, you, the emperor, should go and see her too!"

"Pu'an?" Li Er was taken aback for a while, as if he was familiar with the name, after thinking about it for a while, he recalled that daughter who was usually not outstanding.

In fact, it's not surprising, as Li Er is an emperor, he naturally has no shortage of women. This woman is very prosperous if she has many children. It's normal for one or two of them who can't remember their names.What's more, among his women, there are always some who stand out because of special circumstances. For example, Pu'an's mother is said to be an ordinary court lady. Pu'an's mother.

Regardless of why Li Er drank too much that day, and no matter how hard Li Er worked that night, in a word, court ladies have no status, and the daughters born also have no status. If it weren't for the great His Majesty Li Er, he would still be a father The sense of responsibility gave her the title of a princess and sealed a small piece of land. It is estimated that Pu'an should still suffer in the palace at this moment.

Now that the eldest grandson mentioned it, Li Er decided to go out and have a look. After all, blood is thicker than water, and he still remembered that this daughter seemed to be promised to someone else.
