Chapter 118: Disappearing into an invisible plague of locusts
According to the New Tang Dynasty Book, in the second year of Zhenguan, Gengwu, he bowed to the drought locusts and was amnesty. I don't know if it's because of an error in the historical records, or because of the waterwheel, there are only a few small locusts in various places this year, and they have not formed a scale.
That's it, there are still a lot of stories circulating among the people, first, this year should be a year of great drought and disaster, locusts will fly all over the sky, and the spring grain in the fields will not be harvested, it is His Majesty and the queen's mother, as well as the kindness of His Royal Highness the Prince, who personally went down to the field to pull the plough and plough the land, and moved the heavens, which made a catastrophe disappear invisibly.
Second, it is said that there will be a small number of locusts for the sake of the earth, and it has also caused a certain disaster, because when the father-in-law of the land is sacrificed on the day of the Spring Society, some ministers are not religious, and even say that there are noses and eyes, and what a certain minister picks his nostrils and plucks his ears during the sacrifice, and there are also bared teeth, anyway, there is no big sin, and there is no small sin, but it is very disgusting, not only disgusting people, but also disgusting to the father-in-law of the land.
These ministers had no choice but to petition for resignation, and after Li Er's repeated retention, their resignation was still very resolute, so Li Er also dismissed them.
Li Er is such a show, and he let some ministers he doesn't like leave in front of him, which is really a good strategy.
"Erlang, you said, did you let the rumors outside?" Li Erxia returned to ** and found that the eldest grandson came out in full costume and came to Xingshi to ask for guilt.
"Guanyin, you really don't know my heart, I listened to some of your advice in the past, but this time you didn't understand it, those ministers, if they deserve to die, maybe it's more serious, but let them go home like this, it's definitely light, they didn't offend me, but occupied the pit."
Indeed, for pure ministers, ministers, and those ministers who are capable but have a few flaws, Li Er will be very good to them, but there are some really incompetent ministers, who are still in their positions, so it is unbearable, now is the beginning of Zhenguan, it is the time for Li Er to show his talents, naturally he can't bear the existence of those who only know how to move their mouths, and they don't know why they are moving, so he just used the two agricultural water tools that Yang Heng obtained to kick these people away.
"Brother Heng, I've seen everything you did, but why do you want to do it." Xiao Niang is really a ghost elf, in some folk rumors, there are not only people arranged by Li Er, but also Yang Heng who is fueling the troubles, and even went into battle shirtless. But every time I go out, I can't avoid the little lady, so the little lady also knows the way.
"Little mother, if you know the way of this matter, you will know the way, but don't say it outside, even the two princesses can't tell them, even if they ask you, don't you say, know the way, this is about the happiness of all of us." Yang Heng solemnly said to Xiao Niang, "Well, Xiao Niang didn't say it, did she say that it was like the Bao Xi weak in the Condor Shooting, what should have been told to others, but I didn't tell it, which caused a big incident, that is, I said that it would also cause a big incident, and even we would have a safety problem with our lives." The little lady seemed to understand and analyzed it with her understanding.
"Well, yes, if she doesn't say it's wrong, it's not right if you say it." Yang Heng would never say that if Bao Xiqiao said it, the condor would not be able to be written, so this matter was easily resolved between the two.
But it was resolved between them, but Li Er was suspicious, "No, there are a few ministers here who I didn't arrange, but how can there be their existence, who did what in the middle, let me find out." Li Er didn't know what he said was that this was Yang Heng according to the memory of later generations, and he broke out a few ministers who were not good things, but they would be revealed very late, if Li Er would let these ministers come back in the court, then some ministers who he thought could not be made would also come back, naturally, the ministers who went down this time, there was absolutely no hope of resurrection.
"What, you didn't find out who spread the rumors, but found out some unknown bad deeds of these ministers, it seems ......" So the matter ended here.
A slight locust plague can also be regarded as a locust plague, and some ministers were eager to try to give Li Er a look, wanting to restrict some of Li Er's actions, but before they could make any moves, Li Er came out like this, so these eager officials immediately died down.
And Yang Heng is in this locust plague to occupy a bowl full of money, how to say, this has to start with Feng Bo, after Yang Heng has a new home, Feng Bo did not follow to the city, but moved to Yang Heng's new home, and he has now hatched chickens, ducks and geese and other addictions, every time as long as the needs of the owner's family are supplied, the rest Yang Heng let him sell it himself, but he did not sell it, he looked at these chickens and ducklings like his own children, so the number of chickens, ducks and geese has increased greatly, Some time ago, Feng Bo was about to complain to Yang Heng, saying that there was no feed to feed, and there was a locust plague, Feng Bo found that the chickens and ducklings were grabbing these locusts, so his heart moved, and he released his chickens, ducks and geese out of the village to look for locusts for chickens, ducks and geese to eat.
And this old antique is that he doesn't know that Feng Bo hates such an old antique, so he directly threw a whip on the old antique's body, "Zi said, if you want to talk nonsense, I will whip you all over the place." "Nonsense, when did you say that?" The old antique didn't care about Feng Bo whipping him anymore, but was debating with Feng Bo whether he had said this sentence or not.
"What is this my little lady said, referred to as Zi said," it turned out to be such a child, it was the little lady who said, why don't you say it is a mother, it's really funny, and then look at the old antiques, immediately vomit half a basin of blood.
But is there anyone who stands up for him, no, the villagers are happily asking Feng Bo to drive the chickens and ducks to their fields, because Yang Heng has already instructed, there are not many people in the family now, and no one will come out to help Feng Bo, so if there are a small number of chickens and ducks or something that lay eggs, let the locals pick them up, but there can be no chickens, ducks and geese or something. That is to say, use the locusts in your field to fatten my chickens and ducks, and the fertilizer and eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs will belong to you, and if it is in some ownerless areas, you can let the children in the village come out and pick it up.
