Chapter 482: The History of the Bianzhou Thorn

Speaking of this, the young man glared at Wang Yuncheng and said with a cold smile: "You should remember that when you used a pair of ancient incense burners as a pair, the whole body of the ancient incense burner was as red as coal...... It should be said that you know better than anyone how this pair of ancient incense burners can smoke and how not to smoke! Your ignorance not only ruined the good reputation that Shopkeeper Sun had cultivated for half his life, but also harmed his life! ”

At this time, Wang Yuncheng's face was already flushed, and he knelt down in front of the young man, ashamed for a while, and told the truth to the young man.

It turned out that Wangjia Silk Village suffered a fire, and the goods were completely lost, and the deficit was huge. Wang Yuncheng wanted to make up for the deficit as soon as possible, but it was Wang Yuncheng who lost his mind when he was young, so he thought of this strategy and used this pair of smoking ancient incense burners to deceive the shopkeeper Sun......

But what he never expected was that the young man in front of him would find Bauhinia Mountain, and finally find the purple smoke tree, so that the ancient incense burner would reappear with purple smoke, and that strange landscape would appear again.

……

The young man persuaded Ashina: "Brother Ashina, Wang Yuncheng is a subdued law, and he can comfort the soul of the shopkeeper Sun in the sky." ”

Ashina said to the young man: "King Lantian, you have done this for me, thank you, now I can leave Chang'an with peace of mind." ”

The young man is none other than Li Tao.

Li Tao waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, Brother Ashina, there is still a matter on your mind, after I help you, you are not in a hurry to leave." ”

"One more thing on your mind?" Ashina was puzzled.

"Miss Lianyu is in my house!" Li Tao said softly.

Ashina Xian showed a confused look on his face.

Li Tao did not hide it, and told Ashina Xian what he knew. Finally, he said: "I have people persuade the girl who is about to shave her hair to return to my house, and tomorrow, I will ask Your Majesty to marry you and Miss Love." Of course. There are also Kang Lo and Snow Lotus. ”

Ashina was grateful, and I didn't know what to say.

Li Tao said apologetically: "In two days, I will go to Bianzhou, I'm afraid I won't be able to attend the wedding of the two of you, but I will send a congratulatory gift!" ”

Ashina nodded and said, "It's enough to have your heart, King Lantian, don't worry, as long as Your Majesty wills." I will go to the Western Regions as soon as possible. ”

……

Outside the city of Bianzhou, the water surface of the thorn Shi Ni sinks like water, standing quietly on the edge of the post road. He led the officials of Bianzhou. Outside the city, he greeted Li Tao, the king of Qincha Lantian.

"Lord Thorn Shi, I heard that King Lantian is not easy to deal with, if you offend him because of the locust extermination, I'm afraid it's not good?" The long history behind Ni Ruoshui whispered.

"Why do you care if he's good or not? I'm thinking about Datang Sheji. Without any selfish distractions, what can he do to me? ”

Although Ni Ruoshui said so in his mouth, he was also beating a drum in his heart, the reputation of Li Tao, the king of Lantian, was too loud, if he really wanted to deal with himself, then ......

Just as Ni Ruoshui was thinking about it, someone on the side reminded: "Lord Thorn Shi, here!" ”

Ni Ruoshui looked up. On the post road, dozens of thin fast horses galloped in. Li Tao's Qincha is really different from other Qincha, and the other Qincha are all ceremonial guards to open the way. The pomp and circumstance are very big, but he doesn't have any honor guards here.

In the blink of an eye, the fast horse arrived in front of him, led by a handsome young man in white, but the white clothes were covered with dust, and at a glance he knew that it was caused by a hurry.

The white-clothed young man grabbed Ma Yi and hugged his fist and said: "In Xia Li Tao, I don't know if Ni Ruoshui is stabbing Shi Ke." ”

Ni Ruoshui took a step forward and said, "Xiaguan Ni Ruoshui, greet Lord Qincha!" ”

"Can the locust eradication in Bianzhou begin?" Li Tao asked.

"Lord Qincha, the lower officials have something to report."

Li Tao was furious: "So, it hasn't started yet? ”

"Exactly!" Ni Ruoshui nodded.

Li Tao's face was cloudy, and after a while, he whispered something to the entourage behind him, and several entourages rushed away from the team.

Li Tao dismounted and said to Ni Ruoshui: "Can Lord Assassin Shi take a step to speak?" ”

Ni Ruoshui hesitated for a moment, and then went to the side with Li Tao.

"Lord Ni, the word Ziquan, a native of Gaocheng, Hengzhou, is a Jinshi when he was the emperor of heaven. At the beginning of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, in the imperial court, as a scholar in the middle of the book, Shangshu Youcheng, and later transferred to Bianzhou to serve as a assassin, Ni Daren in his office, advocating education, and outspoken and daring to admonish, in the local officials have a good reputation, I am right. ”

Li Tao had done his homework before he came, and he had a clear investigation of Ni Ruoshui.

"Exactly!"

"You oppose the extermination of locusts, believing that locusts are natural disasters and cannot be solved by manpower. The so-called natural disasters are the warnings of the heavens, and His Majesty should be allowed to cultivate virtue. You also said that during the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, Emperor Liu Cong of the Later Han Dynasty also caught locusts, and in the end, more and more were caught, and even the country died! This is a lesson from the past! Is that what it means? ”

"Exactly!" Ni Ruoshui said confidently.

Li Tao shook his head and smiled: "Lord Ni, because you have been an official for so many years, there are some things that you can't understand. How dare you compare Liu Cong with His Majesty today? Liu Cong is a pseudo-master, so he is invincible to demons, and naturally he can't subdue the locusts. But now it is a holy dynasty, and the demon is invincible. With Your Majesty's wisdom, you will definitely be able to destroy the locusts! Do you have doubts about His Majesty's legitimacy? ”

Ni Ruoshui heard the sweat on his head and came down, although Li Tao had the element of strong argumentation, but he really didn't think of this at the beginning, this is His Majesty's taboo.

Li Tao then asked, "Didn't you say that the locusts are a warning from heaven and should be allowed to cultivate virtue?" According to you, Lord Ni has high morals, and locusts should not enter your state. Why did the locust plague appear first in Bianzhou, does this mean that your character is not good? ”

Li Tao attacked his shield with his spear, leaving Ni Ruoshui speechless.

"Last year, His Majesty sent eunuchs to Jiangnan to collect rare birds and wanted to put them in the Forbidden Garden. When the eunuch goes to the south of the Yangtze River, he will inevitably pass through Bianzhou, and after he arrives, he will also ask for wine and meat, which is extremely high-flying. Seeing that the eunuchs were so presumptuous, Lord Ni sent a message to His Majesty and said that now is the time when the farmers are busy, but His Majesty has let birds be hunted from all over the country to enrich the back garden. These birds were transported from Jiangnan and Lingnan to Chang'an, and I don't know how much manpower and material resources were wasted! Everywhere they went, the messengers also ate meat, and the birds also ate meat, so how bad it was for the common people to see! Everyone will say, Your Majesty, you are a slut and a precious bird! You also said, when will Your Majesty treat the phoenix as a mortal bird and the unicorn as a mortal beast, and the world will be really blessed! Lord Ni's reprimand this time is to ask for the people's life, and has been vigorously commended by His Majesty. It is the people who pay taxes for the country, and it is the people who farm the land, but now, in order not to exterminate the locusts, Lord Ni is ignoring the lives of the people, isn't this dizzy? ”

Li Tao said that the matter of admonishing His Majesty has always been the thing that Ni Ruoshui is most proud of and the most brilliant. Now, Li Tao used this incident to ridicule his actions against the extermination of locusts, which made him very angry, but he could not refute it. (To be continued......)
