Chapter 220: Suffering
But what everyone didn't know was that most of the anger in Li Shimin's heart was against Wu Yuanqing. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Early this morning, Sun Simiao came to meet outside the palace gate, and then Li Shimin knew what Sun Shenyi said that locusts can be eaten, and what locusts' various practices were taught by Sun Shenyi, nonsense.
It's a lie, it's all Wu Yuanqing, the new son-in-law, who coaxed him.
As soon as possible, Li Shimin wanted people to arrest his new son-in-law and punish him for being a bully.
But then I thought about it, although Wu Yuanqing, this kid, was bullying the king, but his starting point was good.
From his words, we know that he said that locusts can be eaten, all for the sake of the royal family, for the sake of the people.
If he is arrested and punished, it will seem that he is not guilty.
Of course, this is not important, the emperor, whoever is guilty is guilty, and if there is no crime, it is a crime, not to mention that it is a bully.
But think about the baby girl who just became a bride, and her husband was arrested the next day of marriage, and she is so sorry for her daughter.
Li Shimin wanted to rectify Wu Yuanqing, a troublemaker, but he didn't want his daughter to be sad.
Yo, who was in a dilemma, died of depression.
Even looking at Sun Simiao, the long-awaited great miracle doctor, is a little unpleasant, what kind of small report do you say, how good it is for you to shut up and not say anything.
What's wrong with letting Lao Tzu die stupidly?
Of course, Dr. Sun Simiao and Sun Shenyi didn't come to make a small report, they came with the idea of being responsible for the people of the world.
And he told Wu Yuanqing and asked Wu Yuanqing for his consent.
And this is also one of the reasons why Li Shimin is so angry.
Nima, what do you mean, I lied to Lao Tzu before, and now I have people to tell the truth to Lao Tzu, are you sure that Lao Tzu has to carry out the plan to eat locusts or something.
Li Shimin felt that his authority had been provoked, of course, he had been provoked by Wu Yuanqing many times, and he was a little used to it.
But as the emperor's extreme desire to control still made him angry, but just as Wu Yuanqing was relieved to let Sun Simiao tell Li Shimin the truth, Li Shimin was indeed unable to stop the plan to eat locusts at this time.
For so many days, he thought day and night about how to let the people in Guanzhong hunt and kill locusts and eat them, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this method was a good way.
Eating locusts can not only satisfy hunger but also greatly reduce the number of locusts, thereby reducing the degree of damage to crops, the best of both worlds, and a fool will not do it.
So Li Shimin was so entangled and angry and started this performance in front of the Manchu Dynasty.
Among them, it is naturally five points of sincerity and five points of show.
But when the civil officials hesitated like this, the fire that Li Shimin was holding exploded, and he felt that he was being doubted, whether he had not done enough of this, and whether the civil officials of this grandson did not believe in his sincerity.
So in order to prove that he was indeed dedicated to the people, and for the sake of the common people in the world, the angry emperor was willing to suffer from heaven, so he let his wife and children all suffer.
The other concubines were okay to say, but seeing that the queen was catching a locust and putting it in her mouth, Li Shimin wanted to open her mouth to stop it, but she couldn't, so she could only twist her head in pain and couldn't bear to look at it anymore.
"Mother can't be" The eldest grandson Wuji swallowed the worm in his mouth, and rushed to his sister to stop him.
Then he turned his head to look at the emperor: "Your Majesty, Niangniang is pregnant now, and this locust can't be eaten."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I can't eat it," the other ministers pleaded.
"I am willing to eat this bug on behalf of my mother"
"Let's eat for my sister as a concubine"
......
After the first person shouted to eat insects for Empress Changsun, the people present expressed their willingness to take on this important responsibility, but Li Shimin was unmoved.
Until, a small figure knelt down in front of the emperor and shouted childishly: "As a son of man, I should worry about my mother, and the queen mother can't eat, so let the sons and daughters eat for the queen mother."
After that, without waiting for Li Shimin to say anything, he stood up and took the worm from the hand of Empress Changsun, put it in his mouth, chewed it twice without changing his face and swallowed it.
It turned out to be the crown prince Li Chengqian who spoke.
In other words, this insect eater does not change his color, and the prince is so bold. At this time, everyone remembered in hindsight, as if the concubines, princes and princesses had just arrived at the scene, and the prince was the first to catch and eat locusts, and he had always been so indifferent, without showing the slightest disgust.
Paralysis, has the prince grown to such an extent?
"Okay, good, my son is fine" Li Shimin seemed to have been waiting for his son Li Chengqian to come forward, others said that he didn't say a word instead of eating insects for the queen, and when it was Li Chengqian's turn to come forward, he laughed and praised with satisfaction.
I didn't say much, so I said three good words, one was very good, but the smiling face, and the extreme satisfaction in the words were something that everyone could see and hear.
The most beautiful Concubine Yang among the concubines, that is, Li Ke's mother, glanced at her retching son very covertly, shook her head without a trace, and the disappointment in her eyes flashed.
And Cen Wenwen and some other old ministers of the Sui Dynasty also sighed in disappointment, and there were also many people who were happy about the prince's performance, such as his uncle Eldest Sun Wuji, whose face was full of red light and couldn't close his mouth with a smile.
Originally, Wu Yuanqing served everyone a fried locust for everyone to eat last night, and these ministers were ready to sue today, but now when they look at the situation, it is clear that the two Weng sons-in-law have discussed it.
It's a fart, the emperor has forced his wife and children to eat insects, Wu Yuanqing is not a crime at all, people are politically correct, and they are moving forward in the footsteps of the emperor, no, they are already walking in front of the emperor and helping the emperor on the road.
Just became a son-in-law and fought like this, Zhen Nima will be a sycophant.
A group of people with the highest superstructure of the Tang Dynasty ate locusts, and Li Shimin made a will with satisfaction: "If the year is abundant, the world is safe, and the disaster is moved to save all the countries, it is my wish, and I am willing to do it." Now the divine doctor Sun Simiao admonished that the cloud locusts are edible, and I and my concubines, princes, and hundreds of officials can taste them in person, and they are indeed edible, so from now on, the people of Guanzhong can catch locusts to satisfy their hunger, and the treasury will also fund the collection of locusts."
Subsequently, all prefectures, counties and villages posted notices giving specific details for the purchase of locusts, five catties of locusts for a penny, and dried locusts for a penny a penny, and you can also directly exchange locusts for food, but if you exchange for food, you need more locusts than after exchanging money to buy food.
The reason for this is to encourage the people to exchange locusts for money and then buy food in the market themselves, rather than directly going to the government to exchange food, because the court is worried that the food in their hands is not enough.
However, they overthink.
