Hua Fei didn't know that in this era, because of people's lack of understanding of locusts, they all regarded locusts as a 'heavenly send-off'. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info after Dong Zhongsu invented the "Theory of Heaven and Man Induction", people did not dare to offend locusts at all.

As soon as Hua Fei's words came out, Bing Yuan, who had just calmed down his breath after being out of breath, rushed out of the queue and hugged his fists and said loudly.

"Lord, locusts are sacred objects sent to the world by heaven, and they are messengers used to punish mankind for not cultivating virtue, so they must not be captured! We and the rest of us should only move Heaven with those who have cultivated virtue, so that Heaven can withdraw the punishment for us. ”

"Xiude?" Hearing this, Hua Fei almost raised his voice with laughter and asked in a strange voice, "Do you think that the cultivation of virtue alone can prevent the occurrence of locust plagues?" ”

"Not bad!" Ren An under the hall also came out and said loudly, "I have repeatedly experienced locust plagues, but all of them have used the method of cultivating virtue to make the locusts disappear on their own, I think it must be that God was moved by the virtue of the monarch and the people, so as to withdraw the heavenly send." ”

Hua Fei secretly sneered in his heart when he heard this, and was about to open his mouth to refute, but he heard Zhang Lu also come out and say loudly: "Lord, one of the Taoist methods passed down by Lu Zhi's ancestor is to pray to heaven, if the lord wants to move the heavens, Lu is willing to help the lord according to the magic passed down by his ancestors." ”

"Genju, Dingzu," Hua Fei has never been engaged in Yiyantang, and seeing that the three of them are like this, it is not good to refute them directly for a while, but he tilted his head sideways and thought for a while, before he asked Bing Yuan and Ren An in a harmonious voice, "I don't know how long it will take to cultivate the virtue that the two of you are talking about?" ”

Bing Yuan and Ren An glanced at each other when they heard this, but Bing Yuan replied loudly with his fists clenched: "If you go back to the lord, this cultivation of virtue is a matter of cultivating for a lifetime, so how long can it take?" ”

After hearing this, Hua Fei nodded and did not say anything, but asked Zhang Lu again: "Gongqi, have you ever tried the technique of praying to heaven that you just said?" Has it ever worked? How long will it take to move the heavens? ”

"This ......" Zhang Lu squeaked for a while before he said honestly to Hua Fei, "This method is a technique left by the ancestors, Lu has never tried it, as for whether it works or not?" According to the book, it depends on whether the person who asks can sincerely open the golden stone. ”

"Ridiculous!" Hua Fei shouted loudly when he heard the "bang", and said loudly to the three of them, "Whether it is cultivating virtue or asking for heaven, by the time you have done all these things, I am afraid that the wheat seedlings in the fertile field will have been eaten up by the locusts, right?" ”

"This ......" the people could not answer, and they all thought how fast the locusts were made by heaven. Where they passed, how could there be wheat seedlings that could survive?

"My lord," Qin Mi in the crowd clenched his fists again and said, "I think that since the heavens think that we have launched the heavenly dispatch without cultivating virtue, then the locusts will have an explanation to the heavens after all, so it is inevitable that the wheat seedlings will be eaten up." ”

"Stupid!" Hua Fei angrily pointed at the people in the hall and scolded loudly, "The drought is the locust and the locust is the locust, the focus is on the word 'drought', let me ask you what is drought?" ”

"Drought man, go up and down." When Bing Yuan heard this, he replied, "The meaning of this word is that there is a sun in the sky, and there is no moisture on the earth, so it is dry and hot. ”

"Yes," Hua Fei nodded to Bing Yuan and said loudly, "But there should be another meaning to the drought and locusts, that is, this sentence is a law, which refers to the appearance of locusts only when the weather is very hot and does not rain for a long time and produces drought." ”

"This ......" Although Bing Yuan and the others felt that there was some truth when they heard this, they had been poisoned by feudal superstition for a long time and asked suspiciously: "What does the lord mean by this?" ”

"It's very simple," Hua Fei said, flicking his sleeves, "have any of you ever seen locusts appear in the classics, or in the cold of winter?" ”

Everyone looked at each other in disdain, probably because no one had ever seen such a record or seen a large number of locusts in the winter.

Hua Fei ignored everyone and continued to say loudly: "This also shows a problem, that is, locusts are very likely to be creatures that are very afraid of cold and dampness. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Smack! He clapped his high fives and said, "That's right, it's definitely like this." Locusts survive in the heat, but freeze to death in the cold. ”

"This ......" Bing Yuan and the others didn't know whether what Hua Fei said was true or not, but Bing Yuan hugged Hua Fei and asked, "How can the lord confirm that the locusts must be such habits?" ”

"Tsk...... Didn't you just say it all? There are no locusts at all in winter. Hua Fei was anxious to cure the pest of locusts, and waved his hand a little unhappily, "That's why you say that cultivating virtue senses heaven and can make locusts leave the country on their own and eventually disappear." ”

"Lord," Ren An looked at Hua Fei with a frown when he heard this, and asked loudly with his fists clenched, "Is there any connection between these two things?" ”

"Of course!" Hua Fei waved his hand and explained with wide eyes, "Think about it, it's already the beginning of September, and when you finish those things of cultivating virtue and seeking heaven, won't it get winter at that time?" ”

Saying that he "smack! He slapped his palms, and continued to everyone in a loud voice with his hands spread.

"By that time, because of the cold weather, the locusts would have frozen to death. Therefore, if you can't see them, you will think that the locusts left the country and disappeared on their own, so you mistakenly think that the heavens were moved by you, and finally withdrew the heavenly send. ”

"Although there is some truth in what the lord said," Bing Yuan replied in a defensive voice, "but knowing that the locust has disappeared, is it not because I waited for the cultivation of virtue to seek heaven and moved the heavens, and in the end the heavens took back the heavenly send." ”

"You ......" Hua Fei saw that he had wasted so many words, and everyone still didn't believe that this locust was not sent by God to punish them, and he was speechless for a while.

Because he has absolutely no way to invite that God out to give them a proof, and besides, God has never seen anyone before, even if he is invited, no one will believe him?

Hua Fei, who turned the Buddha beads in a hurry, knew that this locust prevention thing must not be delayed any longer, otherwise it would be too late to regret it! Therefore, under the turn of his mind, he decided to make a decision, and he made a decision.

Thinking that he raised his head sharply and looked at everyone, he found that Xu Shu was still arranging the envoy, and the matter had not yet arrived. Nai shouted loudly: "The military advisor is listening to the order!" ”

"The subordinates are here!" Fa Zheng, who had not made a sound, hurriedly lined up and responded to the high order.

Hua Fei glanced at him and ordered in a loud voice: "Order you to command the whole army to go out of the city to catch locusts immediately, and kill locusts when you see them!" ”

"Lord, are you trying to force you to death? That locust is a messenger from heaven, and he doesn't dare to accept this order no matter what! ”

Although Fa Zheng is highly intelligent, he is an ancient man after all, and he can't get rid of the shackles of heaven and man's induction. Hearing this, he wailed in his heart, but he didn't take the order, just looked up at Hua Fei, and the look on his face immediately became like a bitter melon.

Hua Fei saw that he refused to answer the order for a long time, and saw the bitter look on his face, so he thought to himself: "Hmph! After all, he is a literati, although he is wise, but it is a pity that he is not bold enough. ”

Thinking that he didn't blame Fa Zheng's disobedience, he turned his head to look at Tai Shi Ci, and said loudly: "Well, since you don't dare to accept this order, then Bing Cao will listen to Tai Shi Ci's order!" ”

As soon as Tai Shi Ci heard it, he knew that something big was not good! Hua Fei was going to let him lead the army to hunt locusts, but this Fazheng didn't dare to go, and he didn't dare to go too much.

Therefore, he hurriedly came out and clasped his fists and said loudly: "Lord, Ci's body has been feeling unwell recently, and that locust, as a messenger from heaven, has extraordinary skills, and Ci is afraid that he will miss the lord's major affairs due to his physical condition." ”

Saying that, he suddenly saw Xu Chu gloating with a big mouth among the generals, and thought to himself: "Good fool!" You are very happy that Lao Tzu suffered a disaster here, so let me fix you together, and save you from coming to Lao Tzu to take credit every time. ”

Thinking about him, he said to Hua Fei again: "My lord, although Ci is sick, General Zhongkang is brave and invincible, and his martial arts are not under Ci, but he is even more powerful. ”

"Tai Shici, you shameless thief, dare to harm me like this? You ......"

Hearing this, Xu Chu glared at Tai Shici with a pair of tiger eyes, and scolded wildly in his heart. But people were in a hurry and didn't wait for Hua Fei to give an order, so they went out first and hugged their fists at Hua Fei and said: "Lord, Chu was happy for a while because he got good wine the day before yesterday, but he didn't expect his body to catch a cold because of this, this ...... At the moment, it is still very good, and I hope that the lord will have mercy and order others to go. ”

Hua Fei was helpless when he heard this, so he had to look at the rest of the generals. Unexpectedly, Hua Fei's subordinates were as fast as a rapid infectious disease.

Hua Fei was furious in his heart! However, I also know that the ideological concepts of the generals have not been reversed, and if they are forced to do it, I am afraid that they will not achieve good results.

When he had a tiger face but had nothing to do, he was furious and shouted, "Dismiss! Then he ignored the anger of his subordinates and walked away.

Yes, Huafei heard the sound of insects outside the window, and he only felt upset! However, knowing that the trouble was big, he still forced his anger to Xu Shu and sent many messengers to various places to inform the candidates.

I thought for a long time about turning the Buddha beads alone under the bright red swaying lamp, and only when the sky was about to dawn did I suddenly think of a good way that might be able to quickly turn things around. (To be continued.) )
