"I want Li Linfu to be the son of the country!" Li Tao said with a smile.

"Let Li Linfu be the son of the country?" Yao Chong looked at Li Tao strangely.

Last year, Jiang Jiao came to Yao Chong to ask for an official for his nephew, although he did not ask for the position of Guozi Siye, but Yao Chong refused without hesitation. Today, Li Tao came to seek an official for Li Linfu again, and he is also the son of Qingwang Guanguo, could it be that Jiang Jiao moved Li Tao.

Yao Chong thought about it again and again, and felt that it was impossible, he had been with Li Tao for many years, and with his understanding of Li Tao, Li Tao would never do such a ridiculous thing, and he must have a deep meaning in doing so.

Thinking of this, Yao Chong asked tentatively, "Doesn't the King of Lantian know that this Li Linfu is a wandering kid without skills?" ”

"How could I not know what kind of person Li Linfu is?" Li Tao said with a smile.

"Then can the king of Lantian know that the business of this country is generally held by Jinshi, and with Li Linfu's knowledge, it is far from qualified."

Li Tao said directly: "Lao Yao, I know what you said. I came to ask for this official for Li Linfu, not because of Jiang Jiao, I have my plans, but I can't tell you now. ”

Seeing that Yao Chong was about to speak again, Li Tao waved his hand and interrupted him: "Old Yao, you don't have to answer in a hurry, I'll give you five days, and you will answer me in five days!" Of course, I won't lose your favor in vain, within five days, if you encounter a difficult matter that you can't solve, I will help you solve it, and then we will not owe each other. ”

Yao Chong shook his head and said: "King Lantian, this Li Linfu is not suitable for being the secretary of the country, don't say it is five days, even if it is five years." I'm saying the same thing, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you then. ”

Li Tao said mysteriously: "Old Yao, don't talk so much. There are unforeseen circumstances, and maybe in five days, you won't be saying that. When the time comes, you will feel that you can solve the problem you encounter with the official position of a national prince, which is too cost-effective. ”

After that, Li Tao got up and said, "Don't say anything, take your leave." I'm waiting for your news. ”

Looking at the back of Li Tao leaving, Yao Chong muttered, "What kind of mystery is he making again?" ”

……

"Great monk, you are having a good life now!" Li Tao teased when he saw the abbot of Purun.

Purun served as the abbot of Tianci Temple. In the battle between Li Longji and Princess Taiping, he made great efforts for Li Longji. In the early years of Kaiyuan, Li Longji issued an edict and enshrined Tianci Temple as a national temple. Purun was also honored as a national teacher.

Pu Run clasped his hands together and said, "King Lantian laughed. Purun is still the same as the original Purun, and there is no change. ”

"That's good, then let me ask you, do you still kill pigs?"

"Huh?" Pu Run was stunned, he didn't know why Li Tao asked such a clueless sentence.

"Do you remember? Back then, you said that when you kill a pig and let others eat meat, you are bearing the sin for others, which is in line with the spirit of sacrificing yourself to feed the tiger! As the saying goes, you don't go to hell. Who goes to hell? ”

"Of course I remember!"

"Well, I'm going to have you go to hell once today. I don't know if you dare, the great monk. ”

After that, Li Tao told Purun about the locust plague in Bianzhou.

"If I am not mistaken, there are many people in the court who will oppose the extermination of locusts on the grounds of not killing, but they do not know that they are doing this to starve the people to death, you are a Dharma master, help me refute them, and I can do the rest of the things. Therefore, how about I come to ask the great monk to kill the 'pig' again? ”

After hearing this, Pu Run nodded and agreed: "Saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, not to mention so many lives, what the Buddhists said is that they can't help killing, it's forbidden to kill, not for the sake of making a name." Isn't it ridiculous to starve so many people to death in order not to kill locusts? No problem, let the poor monks kill these pigs! ”

Coming out of Tianci Temple, Li Tao immediately rushed to Lu Xiangxian's house.

When Princess Taiping was in power, Prime Minister Xiao Zhizhong, Cen Xi and others vied with each other, but only Lu Xiangxian refused and never visited her. Later, Princess Taiping wanted to depose Li Longji, set up another emperor, and convened the prime minister to discuss.

Princess Taiping said to the prime ministers: "King Ning is the eldest son of the emperor, and the emperor is just a concubine, so we should not abolish the concubine." ”

Lu Xiangxian asked at that time: "Then why was the emperor able to succeed to the throne?" ”

Princess Taiping replied: "He only made a temporary meritorious service before ascending to the throne of God." Now that he is immoral, he should be abolished. ”

Lu Xiangxian said: "Because you have merit and have been made emperor, then you can be deposed if you are guilty." Now that the emperor is not guilty, how can he be deposed? ”

Princess Taiping had to discuss with Dou Huaizhen and others.

After Princess Taiping was killed, Lu Xiangxian was also captured because he was recommended by Princess Taiping. But Li Longji released him and crowned him as the Duke of Yanguo.

After the coup subsided, Li Longji had to further purge Xiao Zhizhong and Cen Xi's henchmen, and Lu Xiangxian secretly rescued and protected them. Many people were saved, but they didn't know that Lu Xiang did it first.

Lu Xiangxian was a pure-hearted person with few desires, and his rhetoric was subtle and far-reaching, and he was respected by public opinion. Now, he has resigned due to the loss of his mother and is worried at home. Li Tao knew that he wanted to silence the courtiers who opposed the extermination of locusts. It is most suitable only to pass through the land elephant first.

"I don't know if the king of Lantian is coming, do you have any advice?" Lu Xiangxian was very surprised by Li Tao's arrival.

Li Tao politely explained his intention directly, and after he finished talking about the locust plague, he deliberately teased: "Mr. Lu, I don't know if this is a big deal, but I, a mediocre person, can't sleep, so I'm here to ask you." ”

"There is nothing in the world, and mediocre people disturb themselves", this is a famous sentence that Lu Xiangxian once said, but it was borrowed by Li Tao at the moment.

Lu Xiang got up first and hugged him: "It's not just something, this is a big deal, King Lantian, what do you need me to do, please say ...... directly"

……

In the past few days, Yao Chong has been anxious.

Three days ago, the twists and turns of the Bianzhou Thorn History were sent to the imperial court in an expedited manner of 500 miles, and a locust plague occurred in Bianzhou, which may spread to the entire Henan Province.

Yao Chong was taken aback when he saw the twist. Anyone with experience in agriculture knows that after a great drought, there are often locusts. Although Yao Chong had never seen a plague of locusts, he knew that locusts were overwhelming the sky like dark clouds. Everywhere they passed, not only the crops, but also the bark of the trees, they were eaten cleanly. Henan Province is the most important grain-producing area in Datang, and if there is a disaster in these places, the country's grain reserves will become a problem. As the saying goes, the people take food as the sky, and if there is no food, the people will be unstable, and how can the country be stable. He didn't dare to slack off, and immediately made Li Longji clear.

Li Longji asked Yao Chong, "How should this matter be resolved?" ”

Yao Chong replied without hesitation: "Immediately issue an order, let all states and counties immediately organize manpower and material resources to hunt and kill locusts!" (To be continued......)
