Chapter 202: The Battle of the Court

The soldiers who built the city wall all stopped their work and looked at Li Jiancheng, everyone knew what kind of concept Shili had for cavalry, and at most half an hour, they would come to the current place. I saw Li Jiancheng ponder for a while, write down a blank piece of paper, hand it to the scout and say, "You go and put this piece of paper, as well as the saber of the True Pearl Khan, on the path that the Xue Yantuo people must pass." ”

But I saw what was written on the paper: If you want the Pearl Khan not to die, withdraw immediately.

In fact, it is impossible to withdraw from the army, but this is a negotiation, and it must be a sky-high price to repay the money on the spot at the beginning. Li Jiancheng predicted that Xue Yantuo's people should be stationed ten miles away and wait and see what happened.

And at this time, he flew in again, and everyone's hearts sank, could it be that Xue Yantuo was so fast?

I saw the cavalryman bow in front of Li Jiancheng and whispered: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the new alliance leader is the eldest son of Zhenzhu Khan, what tea." ”

Although this voice was small, it quickly spread around the prince, but when everyone heard this, they breathed a long sigh of relief. It is not the khan of other tribes to be the new leader of the alliance, which shows that there are great contradictions within Xue Yantuo, how can a nominal alliance leader gather sixteen people?

Li Jiancheng said at this time: "Ladies and gentlemen, Xue Yantuo's cavalry has come from afar, they must be tired, and there is no need to panic at the end of the crossbow." Moreover, the new leader of Xue Yantuo is a child who has not grown all his hair, my emperor blesses, the sky is above, we will win this battle! ”

"Victory! Win! Win! ”

"Okay, okay, let's step up the work in our hands," Li Jiancheng said to the three thousand people who were sitting on the ground and did not move: "You also join, go and bring Gu Laxue back, go to the city wall to fan the wind, and let the water freeze faster." ”

The scout continued to drive his horse out to explore again, and the rest of the group continued to work in a feverish manner. I don't know what worked, in short, Xue Yantuo's people suddenly stopped their horses' hooves ten miles away and set up. The scout came back and said that there were a total of 70,000 Xue Yantuo cavalry.

After evening, the moon tore open the dark sky at some point, looking up at the moon, Xu Qing couldn't help but say: "It's more than ten days in February, and it's been more than ten days since I came out. Did you find out that I ran away like this, alas, this time when I go back, I have to ask them for beating and scolding. Hmph, beat and scold, bite me and pinch me and fan me I admit it, as long as I can go home......"

Xu Qing thought about it, gathered the dozens of dragon guards he brought, sat together, and ate dinner.

----Changan

In Chang'an in February, the sun is shining, the spring is warm, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the flowers are in full bloom. But this beautiful scenery was only for the gentlemen to admire and sing, while the most of the farmers had to work tirelessly to keep their wives and children from starving to death before the summer grain was harvested.

At this time, the court had been arguing about one thing for ten days. Not long ago, Xu Qing proposed to use the patrol history to check the rainwater situation and insect infestation situation in various places, and the feedback information was that there were a large number of hoppers in several counties. And the people in the court, the key issue of the quarrel is also very funny, it is actually whether the jumping worm is a locust, and if so, whether it should be treated. If it is governed, will it be against the mandate of heaven, after all, disasters are God's means to warn those who are unethical. Who is this immoral man who plagues millions of people in the locust plague?

The controversy over a locust plague gradually changed from the court to the outer Guo, from the outer Guo to the suburbs, from the suburbs to the Guannei, and from the Guannei to the world, which seemed to have become an uncontrollable torrent. No one knows where the torrent is heading, but the locust plague has already begun to emerge in several counties.

Li Yuan frowned, and sometimes showed a little smile, looking at the civil and military ministers who were arguing in the court.

"A hopper is a beast when it goes to the earth, and a locust flies into the sky, but it is a fowl. Beasts are not distinguished? ”

"Hmph, butterflies are transformed into reptiles, don't you know that locusts are hoppers when they are young?"

"Haha, ridiculous, can you take out a hopper and turn it into a locust? If you can't take it, don't talk nonsense in this court! ”

"If you, if the hopper becomes a locust, then the outside also changes, and then the locust plague will be in turmoil, and the people will suffer, and you, the discerning man, will be safe alone!"

"Oh, the plague of locusts is destiny. Providence, how can manpower be reversed? The old man thought that it was better not to do anything if he ruled the world by hanging the arch. ”

"A saint rules the world, can you still be a saint? The cure of locusts must begin with the cure of jumping bugs. ”

Li Yuan waved his hand and coughed twice, but the people in the palace were still arguing, at this time, Li Yuan was angry, slapped the case and said, "Shut up!" ”

"The emperor forgives the sins."

At this time, it was quiet.

Pei Lin said: "Your Majesty, this locust plague is quite harmful, and it should not be taken lightly. It is better to kill by mistake than to let go, and even if the jumping fly is not a locust, it will eat away at the seedlings and harm the same locusts. In addition, what you say about the will of heaven is really absurd, God loves the people, and the Son of Heaven also loves the people, killing insects and saving the people, how can it be wrong? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji also came out at this time and said: "Your Majesty, what Pei Xiang said is very true, you can make the people kill the jumping flies on the field, and if you trample it, you can also make a fertile field." ”

Li Yuan nodded and said, "It's still the two Aiqing who understand my thoughts, so let's follow the two Aiqing's intentions." ”

"Wow,"

Li Yuan knocked on the board, and it may not be able to block the mouth of the Youyou, and there will be courtiers who risk death to meet him, but the representative of the Qinwang Group, the eldest grandson Wuji, and the representative of the Heshi clan, Pei Lian, spoke, if there are still people who oppose it, it is called really looking for death. However, the person who was looking for death had already died outside the Chengtian Gate.

The reason why Pei Lin and the eldest grandson Wuji reached a reunification is also very simple, because locusts can fly, and they are very close to Chang'an, and if it is not good, they will eat their own fields. Although that loss will not hurt the forces of the two families, there are still many parts to feed under the two families, and if they can't be raised, what if they rebel?

A series of holy decrees were issued from Chang'an, informing all prefectures and counties in Guannei Province to prepare for insect infestation.

In the harem, there are other things to be busy with. The night when Li Yuan fainted that day, although it made Wan Guifei have a false alarm, but that night, Wan Guifei washed her body with Xun Xue'er's soap, but Li Yuan remembered it at once, and said that she brought Hua Ji to the room in advance. In this way, Li Yuan stayed in the palace of Wan Guifei every day, and the other little girls, Li Yuan called less.

With this effect, Wan Guifei's idea of setting up a soap factory became more firm. Soap is always something that has to be promoted, if you can take such a key thing that can get the emperor's favor in advance in your own hands, those bewitching and cheap in the harem. Goods, can you still bow down to my concubine Wan?

Wan Guifei simply chose one of her confidants and palace maids, and went out of the palace every day to discuss the construction of a soap factory with several women. Moreover, seeing that the flower season is coming, wouldn't it be better if you used this flower to make soap?
