Chapter 428: Don't Do It or Die

For a time, locust plagues appeared in Jiannan Province, Shannan Province, Huainan Province, Henan Province, Hebei Province, Hedong Province, Guannei Province, and most of the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Fortunately, this is only the initial stage of the locust plague, which is only a larvae, and the damage to the crops is limited.

But these locusts grow very fast, and I am afraid that in less than a month, it will become a disaster.

At that time, I am afraid that most of the Tang Dynasty will have no grass and no crops.

And after the famine, once the disaster relief is not effective, there will inevitably be displaced people everywhere, and even riots will break out.

It is really rare to see a locust plague of this magnitude.

But every time it happens, it has catastrophic consequences.

The people ran out of food, the people were everywhere, and people starved to death on the streets everywhere, even to the point of changing their children and eating.

"It's over, it's over! The locust plague broke out, and everything was over! ”

"How should I live this year, woo woo ......"

Countless people, in the face of locusts, were pessimistic and desperate, and wept bitterly.

In the face of such natural disasters, they are so small and powerless.

No one even thought about exterminating these locusts.

Because the number of locusts is so many, that they feel that they can't be eliminated at all.

Anyway, the ending is already doomed and irretrievable, so why do any more useless work?

……

This news was quickly passed on to the court.

This made the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty above the court also have a headache.

Such a natural disaster, once it has occurred, cannot be avoided or reversed at all.

And once it is not handled well, it is very likely to provoke a popular uprising.

In addition, there are many foreign races ready to move.

If they take advantage of this opportunity and take advantage of this loophole, it is very likely that it will shake the country's foundation.

Regarding this matter, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were cautious and worried.

In fact, just last year, Datang had just experienced a drought.

Last year, if it weren't for the King of Shu to promote three new crops in Shu.

Maybe it was a disaster last year.

Rao is because of the three new crops introduced by the King of Shu, which stabilized the disaster caused by last year's drought.

However, the food stocks were also depleted due to disaster relief.

Now in Datang, there is no surplus grain reserves.

Now that there is another locust plague, they really have no power left.

It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice!

Datang is really full of disasters and difficulties, which makes Li Shimin, who wants to become the first emperor of the ages, look unusually ugly.

Over the years, Li Shimin has been conscientious and has taken care of Datang in an orderly manner.

Li Shimin is bent on washing away his notoriety of killing his brother and forcing his father, and wants to establish an immortal cause.

But over the years, there have been natural and man-made disasters.

Could it be that God is deliberately working against him?

Li Shimin's face was a little ugly, and he asked the ministers: "Ladies and gentlemen, now that there is a locust plague in most of the Tang Dynasty, I wonder if you have a good countermeasure?" ”

After Li Shimin asked, there was silence below.

After a while, Wang Xin stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the culprit of this outbreak of locust plague is Li Su, the king of Shu, and the minister asks Your Majesty to cure the crime of Li Su, the king of Shu!" ”

Rumble!

Wang Xin's words were like a boulder thrown into a lake, which suddenly stirred up turbulent waves.

This Wang Xin really dares to say anything!

How could this locust plague be counted on the head of Li Su, the king of Shu?

Even if you don't deal with the King of Shu with the five surnames and Qiwang, you haven't framed you like this, right?

This is really, there is no excuse for the sin that you want to add!

Hearing Wang Xin's words, Li Jing couldn't help it at first.

Huo, this guy has repeatedly provoked the old man's granddaughter, this is really never dead, right?

Just when Li Jing was about to stand up and scold Wang Xin, there was a person who stood up one step ahead of Li Jing.

Cheng Yanjin dug his nostrils and dug out a piece of black boopers, which bounced directly into Wang Xin's face.

Then he stretched out his fingers the thickness of a carrot, almost poked Wang Xin's forehead, and said strangely: "Wow? Wang Xin, aren't you dead? You used your death to impeach His Royal Highness the King of Shu before. ”

"But the train made by His Royal Highness the King of Shu can really pull so many goods, His Royal Highness the King of Shu is not bragging, he really did it! Didn't you say that as long as His Royal Highness the King of Shu does it, are you willing to die? ”

"And you're talking to dead people now? Or shamelessly pretending to have forgotten about it? I Lao Cheng wondered, will the dead still impeach people? ”

Since the last bet, Li Shimin has been holding the life and death documents of these officials of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes faction, and he has been hanging in suspense.

Li Shimin naturally wants to get rid of all these people.

But if so many officials are removed, there will be no way to add so many people to the court for a while.

Moreover, taking out so many people at once can also cause unrest and panic.

Since they can't be taken down in one fell swoop, then it's simply hanging in the balance.

In this way, they will not dare to be presumptuous.

In fact, Li Shimin's strategy is also very effective.

During this period of time, Wang Xin and other officials of the five surnamed Qiwang factions have indeed been much more honest.

On many issues, although Li Shimin moved the interests of the five surnamed Qiwang families, they did not dare to jump out.

And for Li Shimin, it is also a good choice to use this method of boiling frogs in warm water to gradually weaken the power of these five surnames and seven wang factions.

Therefore, in the past few months, Li Shimin has not touched these people.

But what Li Shimin didn't expect was that today, Wang Xin actually took the initiative to jump out.

Did he really think that I wouldn't dare to kill anyone?

Suddenly, Li Shimin's face also became cold.

And Wang Xin said loudly: "Lu Guogong, I haven't forgotten this matter!" I can fulfill my promise at any time, but in this matter, I still want to impeach the King of Shu! It can be said that without the King of Shu, there would be no locust plague this time! ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin's face became even more gloomy and terrifying, his eyes were like lightning, he looked directly at Wang Xin, and asked in a deep voice: "Wang Aiqing, I hope you can come up with evidence, if it is unsubstantiated and slandered a prince like this, you should know the consequences!" ”

At this time, Wang Xin also let go, even if he didn't want to fight for his life, he would impeach the king of Shu to death today.

In fact, the last time they were impeached with death, it was because they were sure of victory.

But they didn't expect that in the end, they were overturned by the King of Shu.

And this matter made their five surnamed Qiwang family very passive.

And the way they finally chose to break the game was to sacrifice Wang Xin.

If Wang Xin is not sacrificed, they will always fall into passivity.

However, although he chose to sacrifice Wang Xin.

But before he died, Wang Xin also had to bite off a piece of the flesh of the King of Shu!

Therefore, Wang Xin at this time turned into a mad dog!
