Chapter 127: The Locust Plague Descends

There is no idler in Zhangjiazhuang, and they are all silently preparing for the upcoming disaster......

However, what should come will always come, and when a fast horse appeared at the gate of Chang'an City in the dust, it indicated that this disaster had really broken out!

"The locust plague in Huaxian County, hundreds of millions of locusts, and the grass and trees everywhere they went were destroyed....."

"Tongguan locust tide.... It's like cutting the ground....."

"Fengxiang Locust Plague ......"

......

In just three hours, 12 urgent envoys gathered in Chang'an, and as time went by, more urgent envoys continued to come from all directions!

Li Er is shocked!

The court is shaking!

The entire Chang'an fell into the madness of the crowds again in an instant!

It was getting dark, and by the time the last envoy settled in the station, the number of envoys had already broken through to twenty-three!

Li Er sat on top of the hall with a gloomy face, silently listening to the report coming from below, and the green tendons that had been pinched under the table exploded......

originally thought that everything was under control, but when the disaster really came, Li Er found that everything was actually just his wishful thinking, or a ruthless smashing of his self-confidence to the top. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The catastrophe is just too great..... swept through the entire Guanzhong, and the twenty-three envoys represented the twenty-three state capitals, which made Li Er feel powerless!

However, the locust plague has only just begun, so how will it develop in a few days? Thirty state capitals, forty state capitals, or the entire Tang Dynasty?

"Your Majesty, now that we know that there are twenty or three of the affected places, the old minister suggests that the official warehouses of various state capitals should be opened immediately to release grain, so as to give the hearts of the people!" Wei Zheng stood up with a pale face and a serious expression.

"No!" Fang Xuanling immediately denied: "Now that the locust plague has just begun, no matter how poor the people's homes are, they should have two or three months of food, and if they save some, they can at least last for a while." And there is a locust plague, this year it can be said that many places may be out of harvest, and it is only May now, which means that we need to survive at least until the beginning of spring next year! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji also came out of the class and said: "Yes, not only that, but we also need to calculate what to do after the beginning of spring?" After the beginning of spring, it is spring ploughing, if you miss spring ploughing next year, there will be displaced people, so now is not the time to open the warehouse and put grain! ”

While speaking, the eldest grandson Wuji arched his hand towards Li Eryi and continued: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the biggest thing now is to widely distribute official documents and calm the hearts of the people, and the garrisons of various states and provinces also need to be on standby at any time to prevent chaos among those with ill intentions!" ”

.....

"Then according to what Wuji said, I won't open a position for the time being!" After listening to the deliberations of the ministers, Li Ercai said: "However, this locust plague is indeed too big, immediately notify the officials of the state capital to count the damage situation, and if the disaster is particularly serious, report it immediately!"

In addition, the catastrophe was followed by a pandemic, and if there were casualties in various places, they had to be buried immediately. Rivers, rivers, and other water sources must also be kept clean! ”

Li Er arranged the affairs one by one, and then took out a document from his sleeve, handed it to the eunuch next to him and signaled it to everyone, and said: "I have a method to prevent the plague here, and I will distribute this method to the whole country in an official document later, and the Tai Hospital has also given a prescription for treating the plague, and then the Ministry of Internal Affairs will make a batch of medicines and send them to various places in batches." ”

......

The night is always the best cover for people to heal, and Chang'an City, which has been noisy all day, gradually becomes depressed as the night rises.

At this time, the beating lights became the main color in the darkness, some families were calculating how to eat the food at home to last until next year's harvest, and some families packed up the little food and hid it, and then fled with their families, preparing to use the food to survive the most difficult time when they returned.

No one knew that Li Er at this moment also couldn't sleep for a long time.

Although he had known that the locust plague would come eventually, because of his inflated self-confidence, this locust plague even surpassed every previous locust plague when he was clearly prepared.

I shut myself in my room like this, and my eyes felt a sense of loss as the flames burned in front of the table.

"Your Majesty, now that there are many disasters in the Tang Dynasty, you have to keep the dragon body!" After the eldest grandson Ping retired from the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting on both sides, he personally brought a bowl of white fungus soup to Li Er and comforted: "Besides, we are not unprepared, you have sent people to liquidate the surplus in the granaries of various places early, and you have prepared so much porridge and powder, even if the locust plague is a little bigger, it should be able to pass safely." ”

The eldest grandson was always able to show up when Li Er needed her the most, and she knew very well what Li Er needed most now.

A high emperor, who suffered such a blow when he was most proud and confident, was definitely the most powerless and helpless. However, precisely because he is an emperor, he cannot be weak, and he cannot even sigh and ask for help like an ordinary person, because that would only show his weakness.

So at this time, Li Er doesn't need help, nor sympathy, nor does he need to be touted, what he needs is a kind of comfort that can only be in the shadows and just himself.

Li Er took the white fungus soup sent by the eldest grandson and began to eat it.

Eating quickly, a bowl of white fungus soup was at the bottom of the effort, but he didn't plan to waste it, but tried to drink all the juice in it before putting it on the table.

"Guanyin, do you think I'm really too confident this time, so much so that God made such a big joke with me?" After the eldest grandson wiped the residue on the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, Li Er looked at the eldest grandson and said, "In March, Zhang Yi told me that there was an imminent locust plague, and through listening to their investigation, I also understood that this locust plague was inevitable.

But despite all my preparations, it was only now that I realized that what I had done was just a joke! Today alone, there is news that twenty-three state capitals have been affected, and I really don't know how many locust plague reports will appear on my desk when I wake up! ”

"Your Majesty, you also said that you have made preparations, so no matter what the result is, you have done your best, and the big deal is that the concubine will bear it with you!" The eldest grandson gently wrapped his arms around Li Er's waist and rested his head on his shoulder, giving himself the comfort that the man needed.

"Yes, it's a big deal!" Li Eryi grasped the soft little hand of the eldest grandson and laughed, "Since I have worked so hard to ascend to the throne, I naturally will not give in easily, isn't it just a plague of locusts, I still don't believe that those locusts can eat me!" ”

PS: Last night, I corrected the typo and modified the previous title to nearly five o'clock in the morning, and it was already night when I woke up... It seems that there is really only one change today, please forgive me for changing your face!
