Tang Dynasty: Tubo signed for ten years and returned with millions of troops

As the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, he naturally does not want to see the people of the world suffer.

Come to think of it.

Fang Xuanling was a little heartbroken.

This year is obviously a bumper harvest year, and the weather is good in all places, and I thought that the grain harvested in various places will be more abundant than before.

Unexpected!

A locust plague has brought the already moribund Datang to the brink of despair.

Alas!

It's hard!

"What Fang Xiang said makes sense, according to Weichen's opinion, we still have to quickly open warehouses to release grain, set up porridge shops in various places, no matter what, we must do our best to treat and settle the refugees, and we must not let the situation expand again. "

"Don't forget, to the west of our Datang, there is still a Great Qin eyeing the tiger!"

After speaking, Du Ruhui glanced meaningfully.

Hearing the word Daqin, the civil and military officials present couldn't help but shudder.

Afraid of Qin like a tiger!

I used to have only heard a few words in history, but now I really feel it.

It's like a dream!

Qin Mu is like a nightmare that hangs over everyone's heart.

Anyone present has more or less tasted the bitterness.

"Du Xiang is right! Weichen agrees!"

"Wei Chen seconded the proposal, we must not let Da Qin and Qin Mu see the joke!"

"Yes, no matter what, we're going to have to hold on!"

The officials shared the same hatred and discussed enthusiastically as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Seeing this scene, Li Er felt a burst of relief in his heart.

To make these old foxes so united, it is estimated that only Qin Mu has such great magic power, right?

It is worth mentioning.

The eldest grandson, Wuji, was silent from beginning to end, neither opposing nor approving of it.

He knew the locust plague was coming months ago!

This matter has been prepared by Sun Wuji for several months, just to use the refugees to drag down Qin Mu!

Now that the opportunity has finally arrived, he has no intention of expressing his position.

The reason why this was done was because Eldest Sun Wuji had already had a perfect plan for a long time.

If the locust plague came, he hurriedly drove the refugees to Daqin, not only Li Er would not agree, but the courtiers would definitely have criticism.

After all, refugees are also the people of the Tang Dynasty.

It is obviously not a wise move to come up with a plan at this time.

Not only will you not get any benefits, but you may also be scolded by everyone.

Therefore.

There is only one thing that Eldest Sun Wuji has done so far.

Wait!

Wait until the disaster is completely out of control, and wait until the imperial court can't deal with it properly.

At that time, you can come up with the plan yourself and be foolproof.

There is one thing to say.

The eldest grandson Wuji, the old fox, can become the head of the hundred officials, and he definitely has two brushes!

Such a meticulous and deep plan is also a shame that he can think of it!

"Well, it's very gratifying to see you all working together. In this case, the disaster relief matter will be handled by Fang Du and the others. "

Li Er waved his hand and made a decision directly.

That's it.

Officials at all levels of the Tang Dynasty began to get busy nervously.

Just a few days.

Porridge shops were built for free alms from all over the Tang Dynasty.

Refugees flocked to the court, eating porridge while thanking the imperial court and Li Er for their help.

Naturally, the family is not idle.

They also took out the food stored by their families and went to the porridge shop to give alms in person.

This is a great opportunity for them to salvage their reputation.

As long as he can get along well with the people, then his local prestige will definitely be established again.

Time.

Datang is in full swing of prosperity.

The law and order situation in various localities has gradually stabilized.

The Royal Palace, the Hall of Ganlu.

Li Er, Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yanjin, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and other important ministers of the state are happily celebrating.

When he learned that the locust plague had been brought under control, Li Er was greatly excited and said several "good" words in a row.

"Hahaha, I really didn't expect the locust plague to be controlled so smoothly this time, you Aiqing commanded it properly, and you made great contributions!"

Li Er was in a good mood and kept praising his capable ministers.

In this disaster, these people have made a lot of efforts.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment!"

"It doesn't seem to be long before the disaster disappears. "

"We still have to take precautions, after all, the disaster is as fierce as a tiger, and if you are not careful, you may lose all your efforts. "

The crowd had a heated discussion.

While glad that the disaster was under control, he also reminded himself to be careful at all times.

Li Er couldn't help but nod his head when he heard it, and he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart.

Hum!

Qin Mu, do you see it?

These of my courtiers are no worse than yours!

The eldest grandson Wuji, who was standing on the side, also accompanied the smiling face, but his heart was extremely lonely.

He didn't expect the situation to stabilize so quickly.

In this case, won't your plan be in vain?

Alas!

Could it be that destiny is like this?

"Your Majesty, it's not good!"

Just as everyone was elated, Li Junxian hurriedly ran in from outside.

Everyone's expressions suddenly became nervous.

There was a dead silence in the Manna Temple.

"What's wrong?"

Li Er's heart was in his throat.

Don't be a plague of locusts!

Sometimes.

Whatever people are afraid of, they will come!

"Your Majesty, come out and have a look!"

Li Junxian was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and he didn't know how to describe it.

"Huh?"

Li Er frowned and quickly left the Manna Palace.

And all the people followed.

As soon as they walked out of the palace, everyone was stunned by what they saw.

I saw countless locusts covering the sky, like black clouds, covering the entire palace tightly.

One by one, black shadows swept across Li Er's pale face.

"What the hell is going on?"

Li Er was completely panicked.

Even the royal palace was occupied by locusts.

It can well be imagined.

What exactly is the situation out there.

At this moment, several ministers hurried over.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong! We have been deceived! The locust plague was quiet a few days ago, and that was because the locusts were recuperating. Today, more locusts are being bred and are multiplying. "

"All provinces, prefectures and counties have sent urgent documents, and the situation in various places has become more and more serious, the food for disaster relief has been completely exhausted, the treasury has been completely empty, and there is no money and food for disaster relief. "

"Instead of decreasing, the number of refugees everywhere is increasing, and now it is in the millions. If it continues like this, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

The ministers' words were like sharp knives, piercing Li Er's heart with a thousand holes.

Li Er was dizzy, cold, and his heart was full of despair.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Cheng Yanjin and others looked at each other, racking their brains and couldn't think of any way.

It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice!

What can I do?

After a long time.

Li Ercai came to his senses and strode towards the gate of Chang'an.

A moment later.

Li Er took the ministers to the gate of Chang'an.

Outside the city gates.

Thousands of refugees were ragged and emaciated.

They lay casually at the base of the city wall, looking weakly at the locusts around them, their hungry eyes already glowing green.

If it weren't for the poison of these locusts, they would have eaten them all.

Seeing such a scene, Li Er's eyes turned red.

All the civil and military officials couldn't bear to look at it anymore.

Despair slowly spreads in everyone's heart.

"Oh my God, what have I done wrong, why are I so mean, my people!"

Li Er collapsed, knelt straight on the ground, and roared in despair.

"Your Majesty!"

The ministers behind him were sincerely frightened, and they all hurriedly knelt down.

The surrounding refugees glanced at Li Er, and they no longer had any strength and ability to think to watch him perform.

"It's all you beasts, who have ruined my people and ruined my world!"

Li Er's eyes were red, he gritted his teeth, grabbed a handful of locusts like crazy, stuffed them into his mouth, and chewed them viciously.

A burnt yellow viscous liquid slowly flowed out from the corners of Li Er's mouth.

"Your Majesty, never!"

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and the others were so frightened that they rushed forward and snatched the locusts from Li Shuangzhong.

"Your Majesty, it is the incompetence of the ministers that has allowed the monarch to do this. "

"Damn, I can't wait to break these locusts into pieces!"

"Your Majesty must take care of your body, at this juncture, Datang can't live without you!"

Everyone was moved to tears, and kept persuading Li Er to take care of the dragon body.

Why doesn't Li Er know?

But what can be done?

What else can be done now?

There is no food, no money, nothing left!

If he doesn't lead by example and share weal and sorrow with the people, then what will be left of Datang?

Thinking of this, Li Er closed his eyes in despair.

Two lines of hot tears slid down his cheeks.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has a law, I don't know if it's feasible?"

A deafening voice suddenly exploded in everyone's ears.

Everyone suddenly opened their eyes and looked back for the sound.

The person who spoke was none other than Sun Wuji, the eldest prince of Zhao Guo!

"Mowgli, don't comfort me. What else can be done now?"

Li Er smiled bitterly, not caring about the words of the eldest grandson Wuji at all.

The eldest grandson Wuji knelt directly in front of Li Er and said in an extremely solemn tone: "Your Majesty, Weichen does have a way, but he needs to go back to the Taiji Hall and discuss it with all the courtiers before it can be implemented." "

“......"

Looking at Eldest Sun Wuji's expression, Li Er's eyes gradually brightened.

He understands the character of the eldest grandson, Wuji.

If he wasn't really sure, he would never have been so resolute.

"Mowgli, do you really have a way?"

"If this method is not successful, Weichen is willing to accompany the people to die together!"

"Okay!

Li Er waved his hand and couldn't wait to return to the Taiji Hall with the ministers.

Inside the main hall.

The civil and military officials gathered again.

In a serious atmosphere, there was not a single sound.

Occasionally, a few locusts would jump into the Taiji Hall, staring wide-eyed, as if curious about what these people were doing.

"Mowgli, everyone has arrived, tell me about it, what can be done?"

Li Er asked impatiently.
