Chapter 46: The Second Coming (2)
The locust plague has been recorded in China since ancient times. In the "Book of Songs", it has been mentioned that "remove its moths and its thieves, and do not harm my Tianzhi." Tian Zu has a god, and he is a fire."
This kind of biological disaster can be said to be impossible to prevent, even in the era of modern high technology so developed, it can only be prevented, when the long-drought field hatches swarms of locusts, it is too late to do a qiē at that time, Xu Yang has seen the locust plague video of the African grassland from the film and television of later generations, and the overwhelming buzz is like a thundercloud, and everywhere he goes is barren.
In the second year of Zhenguan, this is the second year of Li Er's official accession to the throne, Li Er, who was going to be angry, was hit hard, the locust plague in Guannei, in the ancient superstition of ancient times, the locust plague has always been a vision of heaven and earth that God punished the emperor for political injustice, so after the locust plague in Guannei at that time, all parts of the country were ready to move, and the people of the Tang Dynasty were panicked.
However, Li Er is worthy of being the first emperor of the ages, raising the Temple of Heaven to sacrifice, and swallowing the locusts, the source of visceral diseases. The Book of the New Tang Dynasty records that "in the second year of Zhenguan, there was a drought in Beijing, and locusts rose in a big way. When Taizong entered the garden to see the grass, he saw the locusts, picked up a few pieces and cursed: "People take grain as their life, and you eat it, which is harmful to the people." The people have had, and they have a spirit in one person, but when they erode my heart, they will not harm the people. Will swallow it, left and right admonished: "I'm afraid of becoming a disease, don't do it." Taizong said: "What is the hope of moving the disaster, what is the disease to avoid?" "Swallow it."
Judging from the ancient concept that eating locusts is poisonous and may kill people if eaten raw, Li Er still dared to win the hearts of the people by eating locusts raw, even in modern American imperialist countries, as long as Li Er is allowed to adapt to it for a period of time, this guy can still be elected by the people.
At this time, Li Er sat in the main hall and talked about the locust plague in Guannei, and many ministers talked about it.
Xu Yang told Li Er a long time ago that there would be a big locust plague at the beginning of next summer, so Li Er had been entangled in this matter for a long time, and Xu Yang told him that he had a solution, but Li Er never believed anyone lightly, and even he had some doubts about the authenticity of Xu Yang's statement that there would be another locust plague next year.
If you don't believe it, with Li Er's cautious and cautious character, it is a policy to implement it rather than believe that it is not, so today, taking advantage of the court meeting, all the civil and military officials are here, and everyone will discuss this matter together.
"The minister thinks that His Majesty is kind-hearted, treats the people like sons, and is the cause of eternity, how can there be such nonsense about locust plagues." The old man in the scarlet robe stood up with the jade plaque, and his tone was righteous and righteous, and Li Er was comfortable to listen to this.
Xu Yang looked at the chubby scarlet-robed official, and he didn't know who the other party was, but Li Er loved the people like a son, so the locust plague wouldn't have happened? What kind of logic is this?
"The minister also thinks that this is nonsense, at the beginning of this autumn for the upper success, the people have stored a lot of grain, and now Yicang also continues to store grain, Your Majesty Xià Hongfu Qitian, for the great task of heaven and earth, not to mention that people do not know the future, how can they say that there will be a locust plague next year? According to Yichen, this is what the Guigu Daoist said to confuse His Majesty. Another tall and thin official in a scarlet robe stood up, saying that the words were correct and round, and Xu Yang seemed to be a demagogic Taoist priest.
"The ministers and others will be admonished!" Another bunch of supporters popped up, most of them were officials wearing scarlet robes and above, and some were in green robes.
Xu Yang saw that this posture was not right, and after a while, it would be time for the entire court to oppose him, although Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui did not speak, and the military generals group also looked like they had nothing to do with themselves, but they couldn't stand the crowd.
Li Er has seen all kinds of miracles of Xu Yang, but the hundred officials didn't see it, they just saw that Xu Yang invented a horseshoe and was named the founding county marquis from the third grade, one by one hated the root of the itchy teeth, he had worked hard in his position for many years, and he was worried about being cut off every day, this came down a kid, no qualifications and no connections, and he rode on his head all of a sudden, this can't be said to be a deep hatred, at least it looks unpleasant, and of course he has to reprimand and oppose it if he can catch the pigtails, At that time, he was squeezed everywhere in the political hall like a bunch of bigwigs having a lavish lunch.
At that time, if it weren't for Xu Yang's mistake and his mobile phone to deter Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other bigwigs were also shocked, and it is estimated that this morning's court meeting may also jump out against him.
Li Errelish watched with relish, many people in the civil official group jumped out to accuse Xu Yang, and even an old man in a scarlet robe jumped out and pointed at Xu Yang's nose and scolded Xu Yang for ''.
Xu Yang didn't seem to react to this scene, with a cheeky look that let you run rampant and domineering, and I didn't move.
When the officials jumped almost enough, pointing at a person who couldn't scold back was actually the most boring, and the civil official group was almost tired of scolding, Xu Yang said: "Your Majesty, in the early summer of next year, there will be a big locust plague in the Guan, please prepare as soon as possible." ”
Okay, this guy, the officials scolded for a long time, and people didn't care at all, and there was an old man in a white-bearded scarlet robe who fainted on the spot. At that time, he was carried down by the imperial doctor.
In fact, this can't be blamed on Xu Yang at all, as a modern person in the twenty-first world, I haven't seen any swearing, those water armies on the Internet are even afraid of God, fuck your mother, B, your uncle, fuck your grandma, so greeting the thirteenth generation of women in the family Xu Yang is already numb when he sees it.
Compared with the words scolded by the old men in the court, it is like a child playing at home, "The initiator has no aftermath", "Rotten wood cannot be carved, and the wall of dung cannot be enclosed", "Why don't you drown yourself." "It's not good, Xu Yang can't understand what the other party is scolding.
"Oh? Xu Yang, you once said that your master is clever and will finally count the locust plague next year, has your master ever said that there is a way to crack it? Li Er asked excitedly, he felt a gamble in his heart when he thought of a locust plague next year.
"My teacher once said that the key to locust plague is prevention, and we must clean up all the locust eggs in early spring, so as to avoid large-scale locust plagues." Xu Yang said very seriously.
"I think that this Guigu Taoist priest is a yellow man, and the locust eggs are as small as rice grains, how can they be removed? It's simply insulting. "The chubby guy in the scarlet robe seems to be in trouble with Xu Yang, and he is against Xu Yang everywhere.
"The minister also thinks that what Mr. Wen Cong said is polite, the locust plague is a disaster from heaven, and now His Majesty is also listening to the sage, how can he encounter the curse of heaven, so it can be seen that this Guigu Taoist lies and confuses the people, in order to make a name for himself."
"Wait for the advice!"
All the ministers stood up with jade cards, in stark contrast to Xu Yang who was standing alone next to him, and now it seemed that two-thirds of the officials in the entire court were standing there, and the big guys did not speak, and the military generals group was still watching the show.
There are still one-third of the officials in the main hall who are waiting, most of these officials are honest and honest, and they are of noble character, and they are not so jealous that Xu Yang can obtain the title of executive, of course, there are many who are waiting for the bigwigs to make a statement.
Li Er likes to see the Chinese martial arts officials in the palace form antagonism, which is the emperor's way of being a royal person.
"The minister doesn't understand, these officials always open their mouths and close their mouths, so they denied the locust plague, as we all know, a long drought will be locusts, this is the truth since ancient times, and His Majesty has nothing to do with benevolence, now Guanzhong has been dry for more than three years, and Shandong is a drought that has not been encountered in a hundred years, so under such conditions, it is strange that the locust plague does not occur." Xu Yang was a little angry when he saw that there were so many ignorant people in the Manchu Dynasty.
"The minister thinks what Xu Gong said is very true." Fang Xuanling, who was dressed in a purple robe, suddenly stood up.
