Gu Jianglin nodded, quite agreeing.

The locust plague caused a stir, and the whole country was panicked.

Last year, there was a flood, and this year there was a plague of insects, and things seem to be more complicated than imagined, and the emperor is also worried, and even calls it the misfortune of the country.

If this continues, I am afraid that it will really be thought that it is an anomaly from heaven and people's hearts are disheartened.

The villagers are sitting in the fields, the grain has been spoiled like this, and in some places there are not even leaves left, I am afraid that this autumn there will be no need to harvest again, and the lazy and lazy food will not even be enough to feed their own cats.

The village chief touched his forehead and said: "Since you can't harvest grain, don't worry, the harvest in the first two years was good, the big guys have surplus grain, it is estimated that there is enough to eat for a year, there is no ruined land in the village, the whole harvest is whole, the big guys are divided, plough the land early this year, and hope to have a good harvest next year." ”

"I hope so." The villagers were noisily preparing to go to work.

The deputy village chief of the village sighed, "You said that last year's flooding, and this year's near the capital is another serious disaster, what kind of disaster did you suffer?" God wants to punish us like this. ”

"Who's to say it isn't?" The village chief sighed, "But we don't dare to talk nonsense, so don't talk about it, the big guys will do their own thing." ”

"Do you say that we have been retributed, we obviously had surplus grain last year, but we were unwilling to sell it to the court at a lower price." The deputy village chief said.

"What nonsense?" The village chief frowned, "Other people's lives are lives, our lives are not lives, there is surplus grain in the warehouse, this is the rule left by the ancestors, we just act according to the rules." ”

The deputy village chief nodded, didn't say much, and led the whole village to work hard.

After collecting so many acres of grain, there are only ten bags in total, but most of them have attracted locusts, which can be regarded as waste, and can only be fed to some livestock.

Villager Dabao was about to plow from one acre and three points of land under his feet, but the shovel suddenly touched a hard thing, his own land has been cultivated for so many years, there has never been any stone, he was suspicious for a while, carefully swept away the soil above, revealing a round boulder.

Although the stone is still dusty, it can be faintly seen, and there are several carved characters on it, red and full of brightness.

Dabao didn't know how to read, and he didn't see the reason for looking at it for a long time, and threw the stone aside, and the village chief saw that there was such a thing dug out of the soil, so he thought to himself a little curious, took the stone, and looked at it carefully.

The village chief knows a few words, otherwise how can he become this highly respected village chief. Immediately, he saw a few large blood-red characters written on the stone.

There is a demon lord on behalf of the generation, and the world is troubled.

What does this phrase mean? He figured it out a few times and understood, that is, there will be people who are not good for the country to replace this world, and then cholera will be the world.

The village chief vaguely felt that something was wrong, and thought for a long time, how could this stone appear in the field? And it's the field after the catastrophe, isn't it a warning from heaven? But who is the demon lord mentioned above?

He thought about this matter and thought that this matter was not something he could solve, and immediately reported what he had seen and heard to the local county magistrate.

Now I also know that this stone is strange, if it is really a warning from heaven, then it is absolutely sloppy, after all, it is related to the rise and fall of a country.

The county magistrate immediately put the stone in a box, wrote its origin into a fold, and presented it to the emperor.

As soon as the emperor received the news, there were people in the court who started to talk about it.

The people headed by the prime minister seem to have heard the news a long time ago, and the emperor went to court to discuss the matter. Love you eBook

The emperor sighed and seemed to attach great importance to it, "In the past two years, the country has indeed been unregulated, the rain has not been smooth, and everything has not gone well, but fortunately, there is no need to worry about floods in the future. ”

"Having said that, the words on this stone are strange, and the emperor must not think about it carefully, although the disaster can be calmed, it will bring irreparable pain to the people." The prime minister clenched his fists and whispered.

The emperor sighed softly, "Many things are imminent, the most important thing now is to think about how to deal with the insect plague, not to think about what these have, and the ceremony of rewarding the crown prince will be held soon, just in the autumn harvest season." ”

Hearing this, there was silence in the court.

As if to break this long silence, a civil official stood up and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, can the matter of rewarding the crown prince be postponed and discussed." ”

"Does Aiqing know what you're talking about?" The emperor frowned.

"Your Majesty, Weichen knows that the crown prince is an important matter of the country, and the holy decree has been issued, and it is impossible to change it, but the emperor thinks carefully about the fable on this stone, or is he just saying...... is just saying ......" The next few words of the civil official really can't say it, because he knows that if he says it, it will be a monstrous disaster.

The emperor frowned slightly, "What did you say?" ”

The civil official's face was already sweating, but he had to continue, "The demon lord above is likely to be the prince." ”

"What are you talking nonsense?" The emperor snorted coldly and said: "Jiang Lin's exploits are obvious to everyone, there shouldn't be any need for me to say more, how can he be a demon master?" Could it be someone with ulterior motives behind the scenes? ”

"Wechen doesn't dare, it's just that at this time to reward the prince, the remarks of the demon lord will naturally circulate, and it will not be a good thing for His Royal Highness the prince at that time, Weichen means to postpone this matter for the time being, not to crown the fifth prince as the prince, and wait for this moment of limelight, the emperor will think about it carefully." The civil official lowered his eyebrows and said pleasing to the eyes, and when he said this, beads of sweat had already permeated his face.

The emperor frowned, seemed to be able to listen to this sentence, and just sighed leisurely, "This matter can be discussed later, the Ministry of Rites is preparing first, but it doesn't need to be so fast, we must solve the matter in the fields around the suburbs first, and it's not too late to do it." ”

The official of the Ministry of Rites immediately came out and responded, "Obey." ”

The emperor breathed a deep sigh of relief, it was really eventful now, all kinds of things were mixed together, making people breathless.

In the palace courtyard, Gu Jianglin landed a black chess piece on the chessboard.

Xu Buzhi also fell a white child, but he looked a little uneasy.

Gu Jianglin glanced at him with a smile, "If you have anything to say, don't hold back." ”

Xu Bu sighed and shook his head, "I don't know what the rumors and things outside have become, Fifth Prince, aren't you in a hurry at all?" ”

"What's the use of me being anxious, this matter is clear and we want to avoid suspicion, and it's useless to get involved, not to mention that they are borrowing the name of God, God is something that doesn't exist in the first place, can you argue with God?" Gu Jianglin smiled, dropped another sunspot, looked at the ending, shook his head and sighed, "You are not quiet, so you can't win at all, just be quiet, it's useless to be anxious." ”

Xu Buzhi nodded, and suddenly said with full attention: "Try again, I will definitely not lose to you this time." ”

Gu Jianglin nodded, "Okay." ”

In an instant, the black and white sons killed you to the death on the chessboard, and it was difficult to distinguish between them, Gu Jianglin also felt a little difficult, smiled and said: "Shibei three days, when you are impressed, you have indeed made great progress in chess." ”

"My prince deliberately let me, I can see it." Xu didn't know how to smile and continued to drop a white seed.

Gu Jianglin shook his head, "Fei Ye, is the net I ordered done?" ”
