Chapter 66: The Confused Chang'an City
Chang'an City is now in a state of bewilderment.
That's right, it's confused, a state of being caught off guard and confused by victory.
The locust plague has been too big in the past few days, and Chang'an City has flown in densely packed with flying locusts, although it is not too much, but it has caused a lot of panic.
Every day, many people leave Chang'an City and flee to the cities behind.
Even some individual timid officials are particularly inappropriate, and they are about to run away with a cover roll.
The people were panicking, waiting for when a larger-scale locust plague would come, and even Li Er had ordered the city defense to make a large number of tools to deal with locusts.
As a result, I didn't see it for two days, and first Jingyang reported that Dr. Zheng scared the locusts away alone.
Then there was the good news from Longxi, and it was Dr. Zheng who ran away with the locusts alone.
I heard that the two largest groups of locusts have now turned and are heading in the direction of the countries of the Western Regions, the grasslands of the north, and the Tibetans of the southwest.
And because Chen Chu and his people have lit fires everywhere they went, they have already burned all the edible plants and trees, the heat wave is rolling, and the environment is harsh, and the locusts will no longer fly in this direction.
In short, the plague of locusts was extinguished.
All that's left is the finishing touches.
Li Er walked back and forth in Ganlin Palace, his mind was in a mess, and what to do next made him confused for a while.
Under normal circumstances, he should personally lead the civil and military officials out to welcome this anti-locust hero with the greatest welcome ceremony.
After all, the locust plague extinguished not only saved Datang itself, but also shattered the rumors that he was in an improper position, which was conducive to the cohesion of people's hearts.
But how dare he go out, when Chen Chu sees it, isn't it Lao Li who is wearing a yellow robe, then it will be interesting.
can only send his subordinates to treat and condole, and find someone who usually doesn't play with them very much, so that one day everyone will go to Chen Chu to play together, and this person will be recognized by Chen Chu.
Hou Junji received such an errand, he naturally didn't know what the emperor was thinking, and thought it was a trust in him.
This Chen Chu's ability is too great, his influence is too great, and the thing that is said to be an artifact sounds terrifying.
I'm afraid that thing launched Weilai really sees people killing people and seeing Buddhas**, otherwise how can the locust plague be solved?
Hou Jun Jiguang felt a little uneasy about the locust plague in Chang'an in the past two days, and he didn't know what to do when the real locust plague came.
However, this person can even cope with this situation, which is terrifying.
Don't provoke him just yet, but show favor to him.
The losses he suffered before are temporarily stopped, anyway, a fool like Zhang Zidong has already been imprisoned, and he will find a reason to kill this son of a bitch.
When Chen Chu returned, many people in Chang'an came out to watch, especially the officials and merchants of the Guanlong aristocratic group, who were basically all present, and they were very grateful to Chen Chu for letting the locust plague in Guanzhong be quelled.
So Chen Chu received a lot of gifts along the way, ranging from fruits to gold and silver and even chariots and horses.
If this is an ordinary court official, where dare to accept it, for fear of being looked down upon, or one day someone will turn over old accounts, and one will be impeached for accepting bribes.
But Chen Chu doesn't have this psychological burden, the locusts I extinguished, what's wrong with me receiving gifts, it's normal.
Everyone send it, if you don't collect it, I lose!
After all, his family is the size of ten football fields, so many mouths for eating, and there is nothing wrong with subsidizing Xiao Chen's wallet.
In today's big scene, many of the Guogong Zhuguo in Chang'an have come out, and they want to recognize Chen Chu, and they will move around when they have the opportunity in the future.
It's better to warn your own gentlemen, don't provoke anyone, otherwise you will die.
Jiujiang and Luling also came over to see the excitement, but they didn't bring the princess's honor guard, but they usually brought a few maids to escort them, and the two took advantage of the chaos to send some grapes and a few silver cakes, but they didn't let Chen Chu see it, and they enjoyed it.
Li Chengqian and the others had no way to show up, so they could only take a look at the city from afar, and they couldn't go down to join in the excitement below, which was called a depression.
But who called the sin created by the father, it's so hard to hide your identity, have you hidden it for a while, and have you hidden it for a lifetime?
"Lord Chen, on the orders of His Majesty, this Duke leads the army and the people here to welcome the return of Lord Chen, congratulates Lord Chen on accomplishing such a meritorious service, and also thanks Lord Chen for his contribution to the people of the Tang Dynasty, especially the people of Guanzhong."
Hou Junji has a beard, a tall figure, and a fierce body, which is somewhat similar to Su Dingfang's temperament.
"Adults are polite, this is actually nothing to my Xiao Chen, it's just running around all the way, that's a bitterness."
Chen Chu complained, this traffic in Datang is really not experienced and I don't know what pain is.
He was already in a luxurious carriage, and his bones were about to fall apart all the way, and he wanted to go back and rest now.
When will Li Erneng's conscience find out, when will the so-called treasury be full, and build a smooth road for me.
Chen Chuke didn't plan to stay in Chang'an City for the rest of his life, the world is so big, I want to go and see, Datang is so big, I want to travel.
"Ding, the system has detected your complaining behavior, and the spit value is +100."
The new complaint value arrived, Chen Chu looked at the balance, and there were only three hundred points of hard work, and he didn't earn it along the way, he spent it all.
If it weren't for the people of Datang to exterminate this locust, this trip would be a net loss.
rejected Hou Junji's invitation to go to the mansion, but Chen Chu didn't say anything to death, and said another day.
Hou Junji knew that Chen Chu was not a martial artist, his body was not strong, and he was tired enough along the way, so he didn't think much about it, and went back to his life.
Chen Chu stopped at Chen's Restaurant in Xinghuafang nearby, went up to the fourth floor and put down the things on his body, sat on the bed, and lay down comfortably.
Chen's Restaurant was surrounded by excited people on the inside and outside of the three floors, almost bursting the restaurant, and the tables, chairs and benches were full.
Some people want to admire Lord Chen's face, while others come purely speculatively, and I feel that at this time, it is possible that the restaurant will sell rolling paper and the like to rush to joy.
But no, Chen Chu scolded the people outside for not letting Lao Tzu rest, and after mentioning the 200 complaining value, he went to sleep directly.
The people waited for the flowers to thank them, but they still didn't see the sincerity of Lord Chen, and the customers who were full of hope were helpless.
Master Chen's routine tricks are really unpreventable and unpredictable.
Or in Ganlin Palace.
Li Er walked around with his hands behind his back, and suddenly felt that the burden on his body had become a lot lighter.
Drought and insect plague are both at the same time, and he is ready to fight a protracted battle, and he already feels that he will be anxious for at least the next month or two.
Who knows that now the locust plague is gone, so I am not used to it.
In this way, Fang Du and the two stayed in the disaster area to treat the disaster, and Chang'an did the corresponding work, no matter how heavy the workload was, but it would not be too annoying.
