Chapter 100: The Emperor Has Moments of Powerlessness
The puppet was furious, and blood splattered five steps. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When the emperor is angry, he is lying in wait for thousands of miles!
Li Er is the emperor, and he is an emperor who is young and strong and has great ambitions, Li Er did not get angry, but his gloomy face made the entire Taiji Palace shrouded in a layer of chill.
"Your Majesty, according to the current situation, it seems that it is not objective!" The eldest grandson Wuji said with a sad face: "This locust plague is much bigger than we originally expected, there are forty-eight state capitals in the entire Tang Dynasty have already appeared, according to the state government report, the second batch of locusts in some places has also hatched, and now the fields and fields look like floating at a glance, there are countless of them!" ”
Wei Zheng also said: "Yes, the larvae in Chang'an alone have already swarmed, and I am afraid that a catastrophe is inevitable this year." And now the price of food has more than doubled compared to previous years, even compared to last year's drought!
According to the old minister, we still need to discuss a good plan in case of emergency! ”
"Could it be that the chicken and duck food strategy some time ago has not worked?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng, there was already a trace of imperceptible panic between his words, and asked, "Could it be that the local officials did not carry it out perfunctory?" ”
Wei Zheng sighed and said, "Your Majesty, although the strategy of chicken and duck food is good, but.... However, large numbers of chickens and ducks have not been gathered in various places. Besides, today's locusts are too violent, there are dozens of them in a foot of land and they grow very fast, and it takes time for chickens and ducks to digest after they are full. It's a bit unsatisfactory! ”
"Exactly! In some places, locusts have already given birth to wings, and it is not easy for chickens and ducks to catch them! The eldest grandson Wuji nodded heavily, and said: "The insects in one place have not been cleared, and the other place has flown in one after another, repeating repeatedly, whether it is people or livestock, it can be said that they are exhausted. It's only April, and the locusts are already rampant, and if it's May, June..... The old minister can't imagine it! ”
Li Er looked at Fang Xuanling, who was silent on the side, and asked, "Does Fang Aiqing have a good plan?" ”
Hearing Li Er call himself, Fang Xuanling stepped forward, considered the wording, and then said: "Your Majesty, since the locust plague is inevitable, what the old minister is thinking about now is nothing more than how to save the people. We all know that there is a great epidemic after the catastrophe, the two are interlocking, the food for life, the medicine for medical treatment need to be prepared in advance, the minister implores Your Majesty, you can't open the warehouse to release the grain unless you have to, and the soldiers and horses in the city also need to be stationed in the city to prevent the displaced people from rising around, riots and trouble! ”
.....
Li Er wanted to get angry, and after Bin retired from the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling, he kept going around in circles in the room, and for the first time he had a deep sense of powerlessness about something that had not yet happened.
"Your Majesty!" The eldest grandson came, looked at the irritable Li Er and asked, "Why is Your Majesty so worried?" Isn't there something wrong with the DPRK? ”
Seeing the eldest grandson, Li Er's irritable heart was slightly extinguished, and he sighed and said, "Guanyin, do you think I am the most incompetent emperor in history?" Now that the locust plague has not arrived, I have been exhausted, and I heard that the price of grain in Chang'an has skyrocketed by two or three times, and the urgent reports sent by the state governments in various places also hope that I can order the opening of warehouses to sell grain at a flat price to lower the price of grain.
Even the chickens and ducks that I believe in can only alleviate the damage...... Last year there was a great drought, and now there is a locust plague, and then there is a plague..... I can't hold it anymore! ”
It is hard to imagine that Li Er will have such a sense of powerlessness, the eldest grandson is very clear, only in front of him alone Li Er will reveal his emotions without reservation, at this time he is no longer a high emperor, nor a majestic general, but an ordinary man.
He also has sadness, helplessness, and helplessness....... If it was just a simple disaster, maybe Li Er wouldn't be like this at all, everything was just because of one sentence, Huangquan Heavenly Grant!
He had killed his brother and abandoned his father's improper position, and the natural disasters for many years pushed him to the end of the cliff, and some people with a heart made a big fuss about it, hoping to push Li Er down the abyss through the locust plague.
So now Li Er can be said to be attacked from all sides, not only need to care about the locust plague, but also to prevent the plague after the locust plague, even if he is the lord of the Tang Dynasty, Li Er is now more than willing and not enough!
"Didn't Your Majesty develop the method of pesticides with the Imperial Doctor of the Tai Hospital and Sun Shenxian? It's better to summon Sun Shenxian immediately, maybe there is another way? The eldest grandson couldn't bear it, and looked at the restless Li Er and suggested.
"No! Yesterday on the twelfth day, there was already a secret report, saying that the development over there has reached the last moment, and it is said that Sun Daochang and the imperial doctors have been working day and night for several days, and we can't disturb them at this time. Li Er waved his hand, rejected the eldest grandson's suggestion, and said in a low voice: "This may be my last hope, if the development is successful, it can solve today's urgent needs...... If it doesn't work out...."
"Your Majesty must not be so depressed, if there is anything to accompany Your Majesty to block it. Since His Majesty can't bear to disturb Sun Shenxian and their development, why don't we go to Zhangjiazhuang in person to have a look? You haven't had a good rest in the past few days, and it's better to go out for a walk and change your mood than to stay in the palace and be stuffy! The eldest grandson Wan'er smiled, stretched out his hands to hold Li Er's arm, and said: "Besides, Pu'an's fief is in Jingyang, and the concubine still saw her during the New Year, and I don't know what is going on now, you, who are the father and emperor, should also go and see her!" ”
"Pu'an?" Li Er was first a flurry, and seemed to be very familiar with this name, and after thinking about it for a while, he recalled the daughter who was usually not outstanding.
In fact, it is hard to blame, Li Er, as an emperor, naturally has no shortage of women, and this woman is very prosperous when she has many children, and it is normal for one or two people to be unable to remember their names. What's more, among his women, there are always some who stand out because of special circumstances, such as Pu'an's mother is said to be an ordinary palace maid, and most of the TV series in later generations are generally because Li Er drank too much.... Then she became Pu'an's mother.
Regardless of why Li Er drank too much that day, and no matter how hard Li Er worked that night, in a word, the palace maid has no status, and the daughter born also has no status, if it weren't for the great Li Er, His Majesty still has a little sense of responsibility as a father to give her the title of a princess, and sealed a piece of land that is not too small, it is estimated that Pu'an should still be suffering in the palace at this time.
Since the eldest grandson mentioned it, Li Er decided to go out and have a look, after all, blood is thicker than water, and he still remembered that this daughter seemed to have been promised to someone at the beginning......
