vs 243 Locust plague

At the Queen Mother's Qianqiu banquet, the most surprising thing for everyone was Ji Ya's solo dance. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Different from the dignified and feminine style of the palace, her dance is full of rhythm and vitality, like a wild goose in the air, since then she has also fallen in love with dance, no longer hanging out and causing trouble, but obsessed with it every day.

Among all the congratulatory gifts, the most uncomfortable thing for Jiang Mi was the shearling silver rat cloak given by Ling Tong, she loved this dress very much, but Si Chen's exclusive favor for Concubine Hui made her very uneasy.

Looking at the brown passionflower pattern of the feather satin lining, touching the smooth and warm silver fox hair, was carefully cut into layers of phoenix feather shape, from different angles because of the different texture of the hair, produced a water wave effect, the front and rear placket exposed round fox skull, the fox snail is the fox front armpit under the two hair whirlpool, really gorgeous atmosphere, in Yanshan's words: "I have never seen such a beautiful and light big hair shawl!" ā€

Looking at Jiang Mi, who was sitting silently on the warm kang, Yan Shan bowed and said, "Does the Queen Mother dislike Concubine Hui's ceremony, or don't like ......?"

"The mourning family just likes it too much, so I panicked! How much does the emperor like to like it? ā€

She sighed.

"The Queen Mother's heart is broken! Actually, it's better to wait for Concubine Hui to get pregnant...... Hehe, the emperor is the age of the most affectionate and sexual, the queen mother thought, what immortal can love for three years and five years, when the time comes, he will not need your persuasion, he will find something fresh! ā€

Jiang Mi smiled tiredly.

"You old guy, there is some truth in what you said, no matter what, the mourning family should also take care of their lives, no matter, let him go!"

"The slave will go to bring bird's nest soup, and the queen mother will be settled early after drinking......"

As soon as Si Chen got off the court, he went to the study.

When he arrived at the door, he asked Bingjing: "Concubine Hui is here?" ā€

"Back to the emperor, Concubine Hui is inside......"

Si Chen stepped into the threshold with his front foot, and his mouth had already said: "Tong'er, guess what, who asked me to kill locusts today?" ā€

Ling Tong walked a few steps forward quickly, and said, "The locust plague in Feng County is still very bad?" ā€

"Hmm," Si Chen frowned slightly, took the hot towel handed by Dingluan to wipe his face and returned it to her, and took a sip of the warm tea that Ling Tong gave him.

"It is very strange to say, the period between the fourth and ninth covenants is the most rampant, and it is exactly the same as when the hundred grains are raised and matured! It's October now, and there are no crops to eat, even the leaves and grass have been eaten! Very tough! ā€

He straightened his robe and sat down, "Tong'er will see someone soon!" ā€

"Who? Do concubines want to avoid it? ā€

"No need to ......"

As soon as the words fell, Gu Xin smiled and came in to report: "Your Majesty, Prince Jiang has arrived!" ā€

Ling Tong was naturally happy to hear this, he hadn't seen Brother Feng Xiao for a long time.

In a blink of an eye, Feng Xiao was wearing a dark blue golden cloud pattern straight jacket and a moon-white belt, and he came in with an outstanding demeanor, and was about to kneel, but Si Chen had already helped him up.

"Your aunt is not here, and I am also wearing regular clothes here, and Tong'er is also here, why be so formal?"

"Niangniang......" He looked at Ling Tong's gaze and was also very happy.

Ling Tong returned the gift.

"Brother Feng Xiao, call me Sister Tong......"

"How about the third year of junior high school? It's a lot better, right? Cute, right? How is Sister Ling Han? I saw her last time, and now I see that she can handle all kinds of occasions freely, and the Queen Mother can like her......"

Feng Xiao smiled: "Listening to my sister talk like this, it seems like seeing you when you were a child......

"The third year of junior high school is very good, very well-behaved, Ling Han is good, I came back that day and said that my sister was unbeatable......"

"That's also the ...... taught by the concubine," Ling Tong said with a smile.

He Tang personally brought someone in with tea.

"Mama Xie!"

"Uncle Feng is well! When the slave heard that Uncle Feng offered a plan to exterminate the locusts, she was also very curious! ā€

Feng Xiao smiled slightly: "Presumably because Feng Xiao has always been a gentleman in Mama's heart!" ā€

He Tang served tea with his own hands: "Look at what you said, the slave maid just thinks that the children of the royal family never ask about the crops, and the extermination of locusts is a natural disaster like drought and flood since farming, and Uncle Feng is so young to ask this question."

Feng Xiao said: "Originally, as Mama said, Feng Yan really didn't understand this, just because Feng Yan had met a master before, called Kurong Realm."

"Withered Glory? But the one who was invited into the Empress Dowager's palace to read the name book last time? He Tang asked.

"Exactly, since the last time I entered the palace, this person has disappeared, I don't want to take the initiative to come to the Shizifu to see me in the afternoon before yesterday, so I specially taught Feng Xiao face-to-face, and asked Feng Xiao to use this method to destroy locusts......"

On the second day, Feng Xiao led 3,000 officers and soldiers to Feng County, according to what the master of Kurongjing said, planted a hundred five-meter-long bamboo poles side by side in the field, which were hung with yellow flags coated with oil and honey, and spread in the wind, instantly attracting most of the locusts to come, and then ten people dug a ditch three feet deep in pairs, and blasted the locusts into the pit, and the two of them slapped them to death with their long broom skin palms, and threw dozens of loads of locusts into the deep ditch every day, covered with floating soil and filled it with a hammer.

The larvae were scalded to death with lime water and then filled in a deep pit, and they were so busy for ten days that it was quite fruitful! When the news reached the palace, Si Chen was very happy, and praised Feng Xiao for her ability, and even joked: "I want Jiang Shizi to be the general of extermination!" ā€

Although it was quite smooth, there were some different voices in the court, saying that it was the same sound as the locust emperor, which should not be destroyed without permission, and should be cultivated by itself, and through sacrifice and prayer, it can turn "change" the disaster and "restore" normal.

Si Chen said in a deep voice: "When the locust plague began, Feng County officials led the people to pray, the affected area not only did not shrink, but expanded, so rampant, the crops were eaten and there was no harvest, no matter how deep the condemnation was, how to make up for the disaster?" Moreover, the disaster has now affected the Xu, Ru, and singular prefectures and counties around Feng County, and if it is delayed any longer, the people will starve! The victims fled and the land was abandoned, how could I, as the Son of Heaven, sit back and watch it, not for the sake of incurability?! ā€

Seeing that the emperor was so resolute, the court gradually silenced the voice of opposition.

"Jiang Fengxiao will exterminate locusts?"

Ling Fen stroked her stomach and said in surprise: "Isn't he a master who only knows how to raise birds and dogs, and talk about love?" ā€

Si Zhen picked up a tangerine and peeled it, and there was a fragrance in an instant.

"It is said that there is a trick from a master outside the world, and that trick is very effective! What is rare is that he can actually endure this hardship, go to the locust area that covers the sky and the sun, eat some white steamed buns and pickles for three meals a day, and live in two bungalows temporarily vacated by the county yamen, and it can be done after staying for half a month? ā€

He sneered and put two orange cloves in his mouth.

"Another thing that surprised me, Si Chen was not afraid of "exterminating locusts" at all, and decisively sent Jiang Fengxiao to Feng County, and tried his best to eliminate objections, and now he has a classic story of successful examples of locust extermination in history. (To be continued.) )
