In the face of Li Shimin's pressure, Wang Xin did not flinch.

"Your Majesty, since Weichen dares to impeach the King of Shu, it is because this is the case. In the past, it was precisely because the King of Shu held a whole locust banquet in Yizhou and ate locusts on a large scale. And this move violated the peace of heaven, so it caused the locust god to retaliate and send down the locust plague. Therefore, Weichen suggested that the king of Shu should be severely punished, the anger of the locust god should be appeased, and an explanation should be given to the people of the Tang Dynasty. ”

After Wang Xin finished speaking, the Manchu Dynasty was in an uproar.

I have to say that Wang Xin's argument is still very marketable.

First of all, the ancients were more superstitious.

You've eaten too many locusts, and now there's a plague of locusts. I can't say for sure, it's really a disaster from the locust god.

Secondly, and most importantly, there is no way to solve the locust plague now.

And now, Wang Xin is tantamount to setting a target for them.

Even if the locust plague could not be solved perfectly, it gave them an excuse and a reason to shirk.

Therefore, after Wang Xin finished speaking, many of those civil officials actually spoke out to echo Wang Xin.

Seeing this scene, Cheng was about to be blown up by the golden lung, and couldn't help but point to Wang Xin's scalp and scolded: "Put your mother's stinky fart, you still eat chicken every day!" So will the chicken god send a chicken plague to retaliate? Will the duck god descend the duck god to retaliate? The sheep god, the fish god, and the dog god all come to take revenge? Then you don't have to eat anything! ”

Cheng Biting Jin's move belongs to the inherent attribute of nonsense.

However, I have to say that there is some truth to this.

For a while, Wang Xin was also difficult to refute.

However, this argument is not convincing.

At this time, Li Jing couldn't help but stand up and say: "It's nonsense, ridiculous to the extreme. As we all know, after the drought, there will be a plague of locusts! Last year's drought was great, so this year caused a locust plague, what does this have to do with eating locusts? ”

"Even if you worship locusts, won't there be a plague of locusts? If this works, then how did the previous locust plagues happen? Could it be that it is also eaten by eating locusts? ”

Li Jing's words really hit Wang Xin's vital point.

Wang Xin pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "The locust plague is a disaster from heaven, because the saint has lost his morality!" And the saint's loss of virtue lies in the prince Li Su. Only by punishing Li Su, the king of Shu, can the anger of heaven be appeased! Look at the emperor's wisdom! ”

This Wang Xin is now a mad dog, even if he dies, he will bite off a piece of meat on the king of Shu.

Even Wei Chigong, who rarely spoke in the court, couldn't listen to these words.

Wei Chigong stood up, pointed at Wang Xin and scolded angrily: "Fart! Even if it is immoral, it is not because of the King of Shu, but because of you traitors! When you were earlier, you obviously wrote a life and death document to impeach the king of Shu, and later the king of Shu obviously did it, proving that you are framed! Why don't you die? ”

"It must be because of this that the locust god is angered and disaster is struck! Your Majesty, Weichen begs that they all be beheaded to appease the wrath of heaven! Please let the emperor decide! ”

Hearing Wei Chigong's words, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up in front of him.

I didn't expect that the three sticks couldn't hit a fart big black face, so powerful at this critical time.

Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but say: "I implore the emperor to cut them all down to calm the wrath of the sky!" ”

Qin Qiong and other generals also stood up and said: "I implore the emperor to cut them all down to calm the wrath of the heavens!" ”

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and suddenly it became extremely unfavorable to the officials of Wang Xin's faction.

Wang Xin gritted his teeth, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, all the blame lies with Weichen!" If he beheaded Wechen and could calm the anger of the heavens, why would Wechen regret this? Wechen implored the emperor to kill Wechen to save the people of the world! ”

Hearing Wang Xin's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but look at Wang Xin with an unkind face.

This guy is a ruthless person!

Now he does not hesitate to die, but also wants to bite the king of Shu.

If Li Shimin really punished him with capital crimes, once the locust plague was not quelled, then he, the emperor, would really become a faint king.

And Li Su, the king of Shu, will also be pointed out by Qianfu.

This Wang Xin is a good plan.

Now, Li Shimin really can't kill him easily.

Li Shimin's face sank and said: "Bold Wang Xin, in the face of the locust plague, not only could not find a solution, but instead climbed and bit indiscriminately, and uttered wild words. Someone, take him down to me, and interrogate him at a later date! ”

If the plague of locusts can't be quelled, he's slowly picking him up.

If the plague of locusts is quelled, the head of the dog will be cut off.

As soon as Li Shimin gave the order, an attendant immediately stepped forward and arrested Wang Xin.

Wang Xin did not resist in the slightest, but sneered and let the chamberlain take him down.

After the arrest of Wang Xin, the matter came to an end for the time being, and the civil and military officials avoided this topic one after another.

However, as for the strategy to deal with the locust plague, it is still difficult to come up with an effective solution.

……

At this time, in the Tibetan royal family, Songtsen Gampo was conspiring with the national teacher Zhang Jianghe.

Songtsen Gampo asked the national teacher Zhang Jianghe for advice: "National teacher, this time the locust plague broke out in the Tang Dynasty, and within three months, the locusts will definitely eat up the crops." At that time, there will be people everywhere in Datang, and Datang will lack food, and this is a good time for us. I don't know what the national teacher can do? ”

Hearing Songtsen Gampo's inquiry, Zhang Jianghe smiled slightly and said: "Presumably, Zampu has already had a good plan, and this is the subordinate of the examination school." The subordinates think that we should be fierce soldiers and horses, waiting for the opportunity. At the same time, contact Tubo and Nanzhao, and when the time comes, we will send troops together, so that the Tang Dynasty will be difficult to take care of. ”

"We can let Tubo and Nanzhao attack first, and after completely attracting the attention of Datang, we can attack Tuyuhun by the way. After taking Tuyuhun, you can seize Maozhou, and then march to Jiannan Road and Lingnan Road, and even seek half of the southern part of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Hearing Zhang Jianghe's words, Songtsen Gampo's face showed a slight difference.

In Songtsen Gampo's heart, he naturally had a plan.

This strategy has similarities with the method of the national teacher.

However, there are also big differences.

Songtsen Gampo couldn't help asking, "Why does the national teacher want to attack Tuyuhun first?" If we unite with Tuyuhun and use troops against Datang together, wouldn't the odds be greater? ”

Datang is a behemoth, even if they encounter a locust plague, they may not be able to eat it.

In Songtsen Gampo's view, it is possible to deal with the tiger by uniting multiple forces and attacking the tiger of the Tang Dynasty at the same time.

And it is really unwise to attack Tuyuhun first.

Zhang Jianghe, the national teacher, said meaningfully: "Zampu, Tuyuhun borders us, and they are closer to the Tang Dynasty. If we want to achieve great things, sooner or later we will have to take Tuyuhun. ”

"If we unite with Tuyuhun, it will indeed be easier to succeed. But after success, it is still inevitable that there will be a conflict with Tuyuhun. In that case, it's better to start early. ”
