The Taihe bell in the imperial city rang again after Li Shimin's accession to the throne, and the Taihe bell rang, and the five-rank officials in the capital must

Enter the palace to discuss matters.

Li Shimin originally thought that the locust plague was only a small area in a few counties of Chang'an, and when the 600 miles of each prefecture were urgently reported

Later, I learned that there were traces of locusts in Shandong, Hebei and other places.

After a short court meeting, Hongling hurriedly spread the emperor's edict to all directions: "The sage has a decree, this locust plague country."

The family has been prepared for a long time, and the grain depot is full. Now the law of exterminating locusts is passed on to local government and county officials, and there are more than 10,000 catties of locusts exterminated

Past faults are not to blame. Ordinary people who exterminate locusts over 10,000 catties will be knighted. In addition, it is strictly forbidden to worship the locust god in various places, dare to violate this

The one who commanded him was to be killed immediately."

At the beginning, there were really many places where the locust god was raised to worship, and when Fang Xuanling appeared in front of him with the Xuanjia army

Then the idols were destroyed, and the worshippers saw the heads of the stubborn organizers fall to the ground

They dispersed in a hurry.

The Taoist priests in the nearby Taoist temples also came out to dissuade the villagers that there were no locust gods, only Sanqing was respected, since the Taoist priests

It's all said, think about your own life and the locust god is more important than saving your life, the government won't let you worship it, then kill the locusts, if it is

I have a chance to get an official.

It was only at this time that those who had raised poultry at the behest of the court did not understand what was going on, and they took their own chickens and ducks

Rushing into the field, this thing eats locusts and is invincible.

At night, the farmers lit bonfires in their fields, and many of them stood guard in their fields and beat the locusts with brooms. see

When these bold people did not suffer any retribution from the locusts, people suddenly became more and more confident, more and more people

In the evening they went to the fields to kill the locusts.

Three days after the locust plague began, Xu Jingzong, the commander of Yushan County, was the first to complete the goal of exterminating locusts: 53,000 catties of locusts

Piled together like hills.

Xiao Zheng led the imperial history to weigh it, and immediately opened the holy decree that Xu Jingzong was the master of the Zhongshu House in the Zhongshu Province to make and pass it on

Yu all prefectures and counties will be rewarded, which is an official promotion of two levels, this is more than an official promotion of three levels! Officials from other provinces saw it

After that, the eyeballs were red, it turned out that this way can be fucking promoted, and the opportunity is not to be missed.

For a time, there were all the state capitals and counties with their families and servants, and some wanted to be opportunistic

Those who paid for locusts bought them, and some people dared to sell them, and for a time there were many more people on the road who hunted and killed locusts.

Li Shimin also ignored the opposition of some courtiers, and did not ask where the locusts came from, as long as he scraped together enough catties, he would still be promoted

Yes, the result is that the price of locusts has been bullish all the way, and the consequence is that more people have joined the team to catch locusts.

When I got up in the morning, I rode Wuhua and just arrived at the entrance of the civil department, but before I entered the door, I saw Du Ruhui panting

Later, he chased after him and grabbed him and said, "Hurry up and follow me to the Hall of Virtue!" ”

When I asked on the way, I found out that several heads of the five surnames and seven families came to Xiande to offer this book, this clan

Zhi will now divide the valve families of the Tang Dynasty into five classes, and the points will be divided, but the Guanlong Li family will be classified as the third class.

Thinking about it, it is clear that the Juntian system touched the interests of these valves, and after seeing Li Shimin repair the official road in Luoyang

The momentum is unabated, and these valve families want to unite to give Li Shimin a warning. This Tang world is not your Li family

People have the final say, although your family is in charge of the dynasty, but your status is still not good, and you can't be the emperor.

This is obviously a demonstration, and it is okay to rob while the fire is burning, but taking advantage of the insect plague to rob and rob thousands of Li people without regard for their lives

But I can't say more. But the major families must have made careful preparations, and there is no more choice for them than this locust plague

It's a good time.

If Li Shimin agrees, the goal will be achieved, and the right to speak will be weakened in terms of political power

Taking advantage of the opportunity of locusts to talk nonsense about the immorality of the Son of Heaven is likely to cause chaos in the world at that time, which is exactly what Li Shimin is even more taboo about

things.

In the Sui and Tang dynasties, the era of paying attention to the identity system, from the Wei and Jin dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, the concept of the Gaomen clan was still deep-rooted

When he introduced himself, he said that his ancestors were who, and if he was a child of a family, he would enjoy high prestige and land in society

There is still a deep gap between these families and the Shishu Gaohan.

Of all the noble families, five are the most noble. Either one of these families is rich or there is

People have heavy troops in the middle of the court, or they are talented from scholarly families. The influence of the five surnames and seven hopes in the current situation

It is not an exaggeration to say that it can change the dynasty, which is why Li Jiancheng used these family forces at that time

to quell Liu Heimin's rebellion.

However, the five surnames and seven wangs rarely intermarry with families other than the five surnames and seven wangs, and arrogantly carry out internal intermarriages

to maintain a noble lineage.

At that time, ordinary people were proud to marry women with five surnames, Fang Xuanling's wife Lu, and Cheng Yanjin's wife Pei were all five surnames

female, and it's a partial room, which makes others envious.

In the past, when Li Yuan raised the army, he asked the Cui family for a daughter for his second son Li Shimin, but he was disparity with others

For reason, he pouted back on the spot, and in this way, Li Yuan had no temper at all.

Standing at the door of the main hall and looking, I saw four old men over the age of six standing in the hall, Du Ruhui was there

Next to him, Xiao Zheng whispered, "See, Zhaojun Li's family, Boling Cui family, Fanyang Lu family, Xingyang Zheng family."

Patriarch, these characters come out in normal times, that is, to see the emperor, and the saints have to go to the palace gate to descend to greet each other, and those who come today

not good".

I saw Cui Yan, the patriarch of the Cui family, saying: "The sage of the past said: The great drought in the state is not a loss of punishment and virtue?

He also advised the monarch to 'punish and be virtuous, and go to heaven with deeds'. If the country will prosper, there will be auspiciousness; The country will perish, and there will be demons.

Seeing the yarrow turtle, moving the four bodies. The ministers ask the saints to cultivate more merits, and do not change the ancestral system, so that if there is virtue, you will be able to sense the heavens."

This is using the rhetoric of "heaven and man induction" to deal with Li Shimin, thinking that the reason why the sky is so bad is that it is

Because there is a relationship between heaven and man, human behavior will be felt by heaven, and heaven will be based on the good, evil and evil of human behavior

The way to respond to people is to use disasters to rebuke people and make people reflect on their mistakes, believing that the big disaster is the country

Caused by the loss of morality.

This set of rhetoric is no different from farting in the future generations, but when it is taken out in the present, Li Shimin is simply tied up

Helpless.

I saw Xiao Yu stand up and point to a few people and said, "Dao: Bingbi thief, pay for the flames." Han Guangwu

The emperor also issued an edict saying: 'Obey the current government and persuade the superintendent of Nongsang.' Go to the moths, and the thieves. These are enough to prove extinction

It is appropriate to get rid of locusts, and who said that locust plagues cannot be eliminated by relying on the saints to cultivate good fortunes? Nonsense! ”。

"Lao Du, this is not right, Xiao Yu is also a prestigious family, it stands to reason that he should stand on the side of the five surnames and seven families,

Why is this related to these guys? Xiao Zheng asked puzzled.

Du Ruhui glared at him hatefully and said, "You don't know your own ancestors, and you don't know how

With such a great talent, God is blind. When your Xiao family ancestor became the emperor, the five surnames and seven families were still Shu clans,

has just emerged, how to compare with the Xiao family".

There's such a thing.,Yes.,That is to say, those few are still grasshoppers when they haven't become a climate.

Dapeng, Xiao Yu's family is the ultimate version of existence, no wonder this old guy stands in front of several patriarchs with a swagger

Cockfighting rack style.

Xiao Yu really stood with Li Shimin at a critical time, this guy won the emperor's heart for no reason, this is waiting

In terms of status and background, no one else can really say anything except him.

"You wait for me for a while, I'll be back right away" Xiao Zheng turned around and left.

"What are you going to do? I'll see if you have any good ideas in a moment, come back! Du Ruhui didn't hold him.

"I fried those people who just read books and didn't vote," Xiao Zheng said in a low voice and left.

Wonderful!
