Chapter 121: Locust Plague

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Lun was pushed to the guillotine.

On the high platform of the Jin army camp, Wang Lun's hands were tied behind his back, and the executioner next to him was holding a bright machete, waiting for the time to come.

The Celestial Empire has always had the doctrine of yin and yang since ancient times, the living are yang, the dead are yin, the world is for the yang, the underworld is for the underworld, and killing people is a matter of yin, people are worried that people will become evil ghosts after they die, to entangle the executioner, so they choose to execute at three o'clock in the afternoon, when the yang energy is the heaviest, no matter how powerful the ghost is, it is impossible to fight fiercely in the case of the extreme victory of the yang energy, and it may also be wiped out.

"There is a debtor and a debtor, I am just acting on orders, even if you have any grievances after you die, don't find me." The executioner whispered a few words, and he was ready to be executed.

Wang Lun said suddenly: "Wait a minute!" ”

The executioner stopped, and usually at this time, whatever request of the dying person would be granted.

"What else do you want?" The executioner asked.

Wang Lun didn't speak, struggled to stand up, turned around, knelt down facing south, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister is a person of the Great Song Dynasty, and he is a ghost of the Great Song Dynasty when he dies, but I regret that I didn't see the day when Wang Shi went north and pacified the Central Plains." ”

The executioner ignored what Wang Lun said, raised the big knife in his hand and was about to be executed, when Wan Yanchang suddenly walked over from a distance.

With a wave of his hand, he stopped the executioner's execution.

"Do you want to thank me for letting you live a little longer?" Wan Yanchang looked at Wang Lun who was kneeling in front of him and said proudly.

"Phew!" Wang Lun spat at Wan Yanchang, he didn't think that Wan Yanchang was here to save him, he came now, it must be a weasel to give New Year's greetings to the chickens, and he didn't have any good intentions.

Wan Yanchang jumped to dodge the "bullet" spit out of Wang Lun's mouth, and said with a gloomy face: "Boy, I think you are looking for death." Speaking of this, he suddenly paused and said with a smile: "I forgot, you are a dying person, what kind of anger do I have with you as a dying person." ”

Wang Lun grinned and said, "You are a defeated general, and you dare to be arrogant in front of me, I really don't know where you got the courage." ”

After Yan Chang was exposed by Wang Lun again, at this time he really wanted to kill Wang Lun with his own hands.

"Forget it, you're going to die soon, and I don't blame you for whatever you say." Wan Yanchang said with a smile: "I came to tell you, according to the report of the spies, there was a locust plague in your Song Dynasty, and now, even God won't help you, to be honest, I hope you can live, and see how our Jin Army Iron Cavalry wiped out your Song Dynasty step by step." ”

Hearing this, Wang Lun was taken aback, this news was definitely not good news.

"Hahaha...... Wan Yanchang looked up to the sky and laughed, and said, "Yes, I just want to see your expression, hahaha...... I love it so much. ”

After listening to Yan Changyi's words, Wang Lun also laughed out loud and said, "Your Majesty is a genius, such a trivial matter is not difficult for Your Majesty at all. ”

"I don't know who gave you confidence!" Wan Yanchang sneered.

After Wang Lun heard what Yan Chang said, he laughed and said, "Naturally, you gave it, if it wasn't for Your Majesty's clever arrangement, how could you have destroyed your 100,000 army." ”

"Hurry up the execution, hurry up the execution!" Wan Yanchang was angry, and waved his hand to let the executioner hurry up and execute, he was really worried that if he said a word to Wang Lun more, he couldn't help but kill him personally.

At this time, above the court of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Huan naturally received an urgent document from the lower prefectures and counties.

In the past few days, there has been drought and little rain in Shudi, and the locust plague has been rampant, which has ravaged several states and counties.

Zhao Huan looked at the fold in his hand, threw it aside casually, and said to Zhu Shengfei: "How much surplus grain is there in the treasury now, and it will be sent to the affected areas immediately." ”

Zhu Shengfei took a step forward and said to Zhao Huan: "Your Majesty, now is the time when the green and yellow are not harvested, the grain in the following states and counties has not yet been harvested, and the remaining surplus grain still needs to be supplied to the military supplies in front first, so there is no surplus grain supply in the disaster area in the treasury now." ”

used to be worried about money, but now it has become a worry about food, if there is no money Zhao Huan, he can still think of a way, but now that there is no food, he will never be able to conjure it.

"What good advice does Zhong Aiqing have?" Zhao Huan asked his ministers.

"Now I can only hope to reach an agreement with Jinguo, so that even if the war is temporarily over, we can temporarily send military rations to the disaster area." Zhao Ding stood up and said at this time.

Regarding what Zhao Ding said, Zhao Huan was noncommittal, but for this kind of result, he still had to pin his hopes on the enemy, and the uncertainty was too great.

"Don't have too much hope for the Jin Army, the most important issue now is to think of a plan that achieves both." Zhao Huan waved his hand and said, if you want Jin Guo to retreat, it is estimated that it is impossible not to pay a little price.

Li Ruoshui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood up at this time and said: "Your Majesty, in recent years, the war has been fought for many years, and the heavens must have sensed it, so such heavenly punishments have been lowered, according to the views of the ministers, it is better for Your Majesty to choose an auspicious day of the zodiac and sacrifice to the heavens, in order to seek the blessing of the heavens." ”

"Bullshit!" Zhao Huan secretly cursed in his heart, as a traverser, he was not interested in this kind of foolish thing for a few days, this locust plague was obviously because of the drought and lack of rain, which caused a large number of herbivorous insects to multiply, and when the number increased, they began to forage everywhere, and a locust plague was formed.

But Zhao Huan also understands that this divine right of the monarch is a symbol of imperial rule, and now as the supreme ruler, he naturally cannot deny this existence, otherwise it will be a slap in the face.

Zhao Huan nodded and said: "Since I ascended the throne, I have been fighting for days, and I haven't sacrificed to the heavens properly, so in Aiqing's opinion, Si Tianjian deduces an auspicious day of the zodiac, and I will sacrifice to the heavens in order to seek the blessing of the heavens!" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" The ministers said in unison.

"Your Majesty, during the reign of Emperor Li of Taizong of the previous dynasty, there was also a once-in-a-century locust plague, but Emperor Li also sacrificed to the sky to pray for blessings, and ate a locust on the spot during the sacrifice, and since then, the locust plague has stopped." Li Ruoshui then said.

Although Li Ruoshui didn't say it explicitly, the meaning is very obvious, you Zhao Huan also learned from Li Shimin, when you sacrificed to the sky, you wronged yourself, and you also ate a locust on the spot, and you will definitely be able to move the heavens when the time comes, and when the heavens are moved, this locust plague will pass.
