Chapter 135
As a different species, this golden toad doesn't know how many years it has lived in this imperial garden, and it has long been psychic, but it has not been able to become a spirit because it was suppressed by the dragon qi. But he understands human nature and knows the stakes and interests. Of course, he would choose to be close to Ao Qingqing, the dragon clan, and stay away from Yang Su, who brought great pressure to it.
Jin Toad met Yang Su's gaze and trembled at first, then jumped up and wanted to hide behind Ao Qingqing.
Yang Su let it go, as long as it was in this palace, could it still escape from Yang Su's control.
As for this golden toad, of course it will not be what Yang Su said, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who gave him a dream, not to mention that Zhu Yuanzhang has already lost his soul, even if Zhu Yuanzhang is still alive and wants to give his dream to Yang Su, unless Yang Su himself is willing, it is absolutely impossible.
Yang Su just wanted to move out of Zhu Yuanzhang as a shield. Yang Su happened to hear Ao Qingqing say that there was a different species of golden toad in this pond, and it happened that there was a locust plague now, so he came to find it.
"Now it's winter, but there is a locust plague suddenly, Taizu had said to me in a dream last night, saying that the locust plague was caused by demons, and sent a golden toad to help. I want to canonize him as the mighty general of the Zhenguo and let it quell the locust plague for me, what do you think? Yang Su looked at Wen Tiren, and his tone seemed to be inquiring, but he couldn't refuse at all.
Wen Tiren was startled at first, and then felt bitter in his heart. What kind of thing is Xiangrui, don't you have any points in your heart? Although the golden toad is miraculous, the emperor only relies on a golden toad to quell the overwhelming locust plague, of course, it is wishful thinking.
Wen Tiren is not receiving the order at the moment, nor is he not accepting the order. Receiving the order means canonizing a Jin Toad as the general of the Zhenguo, he will take the lead for Yang Su, and don't think about it in the future, the scolding of the government and the opposition will definitely follow.
Under Yang Su's aggressive gaze, Wen Tiren first wanted to refuse, and then remembered that no matter how this golden toad came about, at this time it was sent by Taizu, and the emperor canonized it with reasonable evidence.
But the emperor just wanted to canonize a Jin Toad as the general of Zhenguo, but Wen Tiren was worried about this and hesitated. If he does not accept the order, with his current understanding of the emperor, the emperor's actions today must have deep meaning, and Wen Tiren, as the head of the cabinet, will just turn a blind eye and dare to harm the emperor's affairs, then his end may be self-evident.
"Since this golden toad was sent by Taizu, the emperor canonized him as the mighty general of the Zhenguo, and naturally said that he should be, but although this golden toad was ordered by Taizu to help the emperor. But now, in order to make an inch, it is not appropriate to reward it in advance, please ask the emperor to learn clearly! "Wen Tiren has a quick wit, and his ability to pass the buck is still very strong, and he is very good at dealing with this kind of emergency.
Yang Su squinted and saw Wen Tiren with his head down and didn't dare to look at him directly, but he had already guessed Wen Tiren's actions in his heart, this old fox definitely didn't see a rabbit and didn't scatter an eagle, and it was impossible to charge for him, but unfortunately Xiao Ming's status was not high enough, the system of the Ming Dynasty was very perfect, and even deliberately increased the power of officials, in addition to wanting the ministers to help deal with government affairs, there was also to limit the imperial power, so that it could not continue to expand, and finally was killed by a faint monarch of the Ming Dynasty.
Yang Su doesn't have any good ways to deal with this at present, unless the ministers in the court are cleaned up first. Otherwise, there is really no good way for this group of ministers.
If the emperor wants to approve this kind of holy decree, it usually has to be approved by the cabinet. Take Wanli wanted to canonize King Fu as the crown prince at that time, but several cabinet chiefs preferred to resign voluntarily rather than accept the order. In the end, orthodoxy was maintained, and a group of ministers fought wits and courage with the emperor, resisted for more than ten years and finally forced the emperor to retreat.
Poor Emperor Wanli has been in power for decades, and he has done a little bit internally and externally, but he doesn't even have the power to canonize which son he is the crown prince, and the grievances in his heart can be imagined.
In the Chongzhen Dynasty, the habit of deliberately engaging in things by the Minister of Imperial History, in addition to the strategy of the Donglin Party, had a lot to do with the three major cases of the year. There is a precedent first, as long as you don't obey the emperor's orders, and then say something casually to stimulate the emperor, and you can be famous all over the world, such a good thing for you, do you or not!
That is, when he met Yang Su, an unreasonable master, he would be imprisoned at every turn, which was more than the means of these officials. This made the ministers of the Ming Dynasty somewhat restrained.
"No, it's not good to be right, I expect Jin Toad to calm the locust plague for me, how can I be stingy with the official position! Moreover, Jin Toad was ordered by Taizu to entrust the lower realm. How can I send it away at will? Yang Su said loudly.
Wen Tiren didn't dare to refute, so he could only nod bitterly.
There have never been secrets in the palace, not to mention that such a bizarre thing happened, Wen Tiren received the holy decree to canonize Jin Toad and began to build a temple statue for Jin Toad.
Outside has long been rumored to be full of wind and rain in the city, and the focus of ordinary people is that the locust plague has been saved, and Taizu has sent a golden toad to help the emperor.
And the scholars who have read the book scoffed at this, and it is simply ridiculous that a single golden toad wants to deal with hundreds of millions of locust plagues. Didn't the emperor make this decision in a hurry? Or was he deceived by some traitor? What's going on with Xiangrui It's okay to fool those fart people who don't know anything, but it's not okay to fool them, a group of scholars who respect ghosts and gods and stay away, of course, they don't dare to speak disrespectfully to Yang Su. The factory guards are now re-emerged, and the scholars dare to be angry but dare not speak, and they have done it!
However, although they didn't dare to say that the emperor was not, it was still okay to scold Wen Tiren. Wen Tiren, a traitor, originally had a faint tendency to be whitewashed, and even the name of the first traitor would have been taken away by Xiao Ming in a short time, but as soon as this incident happened, the gap with Xiao Ming was widened in an instant.
Three days later, the overwhelming locusts finally ate all the postures all the way and entered Zhili Province.
Zhili Province does not have to be normal now, especially since the fields in Huangzhuang are full of winter wheat. The yield of potatoes that shocked the gods of the Three Realms overshadowed the light of wheat. But potatoes have their limitations, certainly not as good as wheat.
In the autumn, Yang Su exchanged a large number of wheat seeds from the system and distributed them to the people of Huangzhuang.
If the locusts really ravaged Zhili Province, then I am afraid that all Yang Su's hard work will be ruined, and tens of millions of people will be affected, which is enough to affect the situation in the Ming Dynasty.
In the middle of the night, the Chinese Tianxiang of the capital quietly went out of the city and headed southwest with the gods of the City God Temple.
