This place is not bad, leave a few men to fly into the temple to garrison, we should go and sweep the surrounding farmland. Hulala, the army of locusts patrolled the sky over the palace for a few laps, and then scattered around Chang'an.

The postpartum blood collapse was very dangerous, and seeing the army of locusts leaving, the father and son hurriedly guarded the medicine stove and continued to decoction the medicine. After Li Chengqian's hand was removed from the medicine jar, he quickly turned his back behind him and hid.

Li Shimin saw that his son's arm twitched, sweat broke out on his forehead, and he still didn't forget to stare at the medicine stove closely, he was so moved that he turned around and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. Although his son occasionally falls ill and thinks differently from him, the most valuable thing about this child is that he was born in the royal family but has a sincere heart.

In the end, he was still worried, Li Shimin took his son's hand and saw that a pair of small hands were swollen like pig's trotters, and his palms were blistered, "What about Yicheng, come over and give medicine to the prince!"

"Yes, Weichen is going to get the medicine!" The doctor covered his stomach and hurriedly ran in the direction of the Tai Hospital after answering.

Mother, it's good that we reacted quickly, otherwise we would have explained this time. When the locusts came just now, he was too shocked, and there were other small chamberlains in the palace who came to seek medical treatment, and when he finished answering the question, he looked at the medicine jar, which was already protected by the prince's hands.

At this time, he must not take the lid in his hand, and he quickly put the lid in his clothes after reacting. Now it's okay, take advantage of the opportunity to get the medicine, and quickly hide the lid.

A few ministers waiting for deliberations in the distance naturally would not ruin this scene of father's kindness and filial piety at such a time, and they all chose to wait quietly with a smile. Anyway, the locusts have already come, and those things can't be wiped out in a short time, and the most important thing in front of them is the body of the queen's mother.

Only the eldest grandson Wuji seemed a little restless, and everyone could understand that there was not only the queen lying inside, but also the sister-in-law of others.

Wang Jue deliberately exchanged the medicine with the system, because he was afraid that their calculations would affect the eldest grandson queen. Produced by the system, it must be a high-quality product, a bowl of medicine goes down, not only the bleeding stops, but even the queen is sober.

"Holy... Xiao Jiu ....... ”

Seeing that his daughter-in-law was looking at him again and again, Li Shimin hurriedly reassured: "Guanyin, don't worry, I am such a person who is so angry!"

"Queen Mother, how are you?!"

"Woo, father, queen mother, there are a lot of insects and ....... ”

The palace people couldn't stop it, Li Tai and Li Lizhen also rushed to the dormitory of the eldest grandson queen after the locusts left, and the family wiped their tears again. It wasn't until the nurse carried Li Zhi, who was sturdy and crying loudly, into the hall that a smile appeared on their faces.

Seeing that Empress Changsun was diverted, the father and son were all relieved. Leaving Li Tai and Li Liqing to take care of their daughter-in-law, Li Shimin took Li Chengqian to Ganlu Palace, and the ministers who were waiting nearby also hurriedly followed.

Li Shimin sat at the back of the hall, and regained his usual majestic appearance, "There are a few reports, pick the key points!"

Fang Xuanling replied: "Most of the areas in the Guannai have been plagued by locusts, but fortunately, there are birds and toads brought by the disciples of the hundred schools, and the people are actively catching locusts, and the situation is not as bad as the locust plague in the previous dynasty. Moreover, when the generals arrived in the localities, they strictly ordered the people to harvest the grain, and apart from the harvest that had been reduced by drought, the grain was not spoiled by the locusts. ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he finally had a smile on his face. If it is really as Fang Xuanling said, this can be regarded as the merit of those in power! Looking at all dynasties, when drought and locust plague arose together, it was not that the people had no livelihood and changed their children to eat?

After he was happy, he turned to blame the messengers. I can't talk well, and I don't have a big loss, what are you doing with such heart-rending yelling along the way. And the little chamberlain also hated it, and he didn't speak clearly, which caused his daughter-in-law to faint in a hurry.

Wait a while! The local grain has been harvested, but what about Gyeonggi? He has been busy studying the treasure map these days, and the ministers have not mentioned this matter, and if the local harvest is preserved, but the Gyeonggi region suffers heavy losses, the result is unimaginable, and he can guess how the living notes and future history books will record this matter.

At this time, why was the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs not there, Li Shimin asked angrily: "Has Gyeonggi grabbed it? Why don't you see Tang Jian?!"

Wei Zheng had a good relationship with Tang Jian, and when he saw that Li Shimin wanted to anger people again, he hurriedly choked and said: "Tang Jian has been promoting potatoes and sweet potatoes everywhere recently, and he has been away from Chang'an for several days, has the saint forgotten?"

Other words... No one cares about Gyeonggi?! The uncles and uncles in the palace are so hung and fainted, they have an idea with Li Shimin, this matter is too slap in the face! There are also a few people who began to poke the villain in their hearts, if it weren't for the saint pestering us all day long to nag us about the treasure map, how would they forget the locust incident that Wang County Bo Ti.

The eldest grandson Wuji has always paid close attention to Wang Jue, and he knows about Wang Dalang persuading the people everywhere, but the old fox is in a bad mood now and doesn't want to talk about it at all. A good girl marries you, gives you a baby to manage the harem, and almost dies many times in the most difficult time. You're good, one by one, isn't it time to pay some price now?

Thinking of the army of locusts that flew away just now, Li Shimin really couldn't sit still, he got up and said, "I want to go out of the palace to have a look, you all come with me." ”

Wang Xiran was wrong about one thing, not all the crops near Chang'an had been harvested, and there was another piece of land that he accidentally ignored, that is, the field opened up by the emperor and queen in Chang'an County. In order to lead by example, as well as his little caution that is not humane to outsiders, Li Shimin often takes his wife to raise silkworms in the palace or go to the county to farm.

No, when it comes to going out of the palace to check the situation, he also habitually walks in the direction of his own land. Before he arrived at the place, he saw a locust in the sky above the land, which made Li Shimin feel distressed, but those were all the food he and his daughter-in-law planted with their own hands!

In addition to the locusts in the air, many other people caught locusts near the land. I was very relieved, and the people couldn't bear to see my fields being eaten by locusts, so they all took the initiative to help, which shows my status in the hearts of the people.

However, this little bit of happiness is still no match for the negative feelings brought about by the locust plague in Gyeonggi.

Seeing that the Holy Lord brought the minister over, the people automatically got out of the way. No one left, and everyone wanted to see what the Holy One would do. Li Shimin watched the locusts gnaw at the crops at an alarming speed, and he went over to pounce angrily, and the ministers followed suit when they saw this. The other party is full of insects, and several uncles are so tired that they are panting, and they don't see the insect swarm dispersed.

Li Shimin's forehead was bruised, he picked up a few locusts and said: "People take grain as their life, and you eat it to harm the people." The people have had, and I am alone, and you have a spirit, but when it erodes my heart, it harms my people. When he had finished speaking, he picked up the locust and stuffed it into his mouth.

Du Ruhui shouted: "No, I'm afraid of becoming ill!"

Li Shimin shouted with tears in his eyes: "I hope that all disasters will move away, why are you afraid of illness and avoid it?"

After speaking, without blinking his eyes, he swallowed the locusts in his hands alive.

"Holy !!"

Locust, Emperor. In ancient times, locusts were believed to have spirituality, because locusts have the same sound as the emperor, and locust plagues were often considered to be God's punishment. Li Shimin's move was to hope that the disaster would be transferred to him alone, and he asked God to spare the people. Regardless of whether there is an element of drama in this, the ministers are very moved to see him doing this, and the people... I should be very impressed...... too.

It's just that the people are not only moved, but also lamenting that the saint is as uneducated as us.

A little boy ran to Li Shimin's side, opened his hand and handed the fried locusts in his hand to his eyes, "Holy Lord, it's not good to eat locusts raw, you can eat me." I've fried this in oil, but it's fragrant!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin was dumbfounded, the ministers were dumbfounded, and the eldest grandson Wuji pretended to be dumbfounded.

As if smelling the smell of conspiracy, Li Shimin pulled out a kind smile, "Little boy, how dare you eat locusts, aren't you afraid of getting sick?"

Xiao Tong tilted his head and looked at Li Shimin adoringly, "Don't be afraid!" A-Niang said, the Holy One is the King of Benevolence, and God will punish the villain of Jieli Khan. Wang Xianbo said that the locust plague came because of the drought, and this is because God specially sent us food to compensate for the loss of our crops!"

That's right, he's panicking today, why should we make an edict against ourselves, the drought has been pushed on Jieli, and this time it's better to continue. As for the reputation of the ninth son, he is not a prince, what kind of reputation do you want. The reputation of a son who does not succeed to the throne is naturally not as important as his face...... Laozi.

Seeing that Li Shimin was caught in his own thoughts, Xiao Tong thought that the saint didn't believe what he said, and hurriedly added: "I didn't lie to you, you taste this locust, it tastes very good." This is the first time our family has eaten meat since the land was dry. Don't be afraid of waste oil, go to Nanshan Village after catching locusts by yourself, and Uncle Wang will help us fry them. ”

The smell of conspiracy is getting stronger and stronger, and not only Li Shimin himself, but even the ministers have a bad premonition in their hearts. The eldest grandson Wuji was still angry, and he pretended to be puzzled and asked Xiao Tong, "Then why are you here?"

Xiao Tong smiled shyly, "A few days ago, Uncle Wang Xian informed the village to rush to harvest, and our grain has been harvested. Locusts like crops, and only the holy crops in Chang'an have not been confiscated, and we all come here to catch locusts. ”

The onlookers all bowed their heads, and some even knelt down and kowtowed to Li Shimin, "It's all thanks to the sacked crops by the saints that we can catch so many locusts." There are several children in the grass family, and there is not enough food at home. It's good now, you don't have to worry about running out of food until the winter. ”

Afraid that Li Shimin would come to harvest the grain, smart people thought of using tricks to make him give up the harvest, and an old man said with tears: "This is also the case in the grass people's house, the saint must not collect the grain for us, thank you for the kindness of the saint!"

After listening to the words of the people, the officials realized what they had been ignoring, and these people were holding large sacks in their hands. Emotional people are here to catch locusts and eat, not to protect the crops for the saints. Thinking of the words of the people, only the crops of the Holy Heaven in Chang'an have been confiscated, and I suddenly have a feeling of wanting to burst into laughter.

Li Shimin glared at the ministers angrily, some of these people had a good relationship with Wang Jue, and some of them also had a lot of land in their own homes, he didn't believe that all of these people didn't know about Wang Jue's notice of the robbery. If you want to see me ugly, you have to be prepared to pay the price of watching the excitement.

Of course, cleaning up people has to be done quietly behind closed doors, and the most important thing now is to get the field back, "I was hungry when I was on the march, how could I not understand the feeling of being hungry." If you can sacrifice my crop so that the people can have meat to eat, why not?"

"The Holy One can give up the crops he planted with his own hands for us, really... It's really ....... A big man began to cry as he spoke, and the onlookers also cried.

After Li Shimin pacified the people and walked on the way back to the palace, his inner thoughts were very complicated. Of course, he was willing to give up these crops for the people, but his initiative and being teased were completely different things. How can this widow's heart and eyes be smaller than pinholes, didn't she just lock her up for a few days and raid her house, and she actually held a grudge to such an extent.

Li Chengqian hasn't been to Nanshan for the past few days, and he really doesn't know if the teacher did it on purpose. Looking at his father's constipated face, he really didn't know how to open his mouth to defend the teacher.

The people who caught the locusts rushed to Nanshan as soon as possible. With their arrival, the news that the saint deliberately left crops for the people to catch locusts also spread to Nanshan Village.

Cheng Chumo was in charge of leading the villagers to blow locusts for everyone in the village, and after he heard the news brought by the villagers, he ran up the mountain with a sigh.

"Teacher, tell you something....... "Balabala, Cheng Chumo remembered the description of the people very clearly, and he added a series of dynamic performances to polish it.

The yin combination who was drinking tea was either spraying tea or choking. Seeing that Wang Xiran himself was choking and coughing, everyone looked at him suspiciously.

I don't know if he coughed or was embarrassed, Wang Xiran's face was slightly red, "The land in the Holy Land was cultivated independently, and I forgot ...... it." ”

Wang Jue smiled evilly: "I forgot well, but it's a pity that I didn't wait to watch!"

Meng Xiang smiled evilly, "It's extreme, it's extreme!"
