Wei Lin took everyone to Liangshan safely, and soon found the bandits' den on Liangshan, but it was empty, Wei Lin looked at the steaming tea on the table, frowned and said, "People have just left." ”

"Do you want to chase? Emperor? Gu Yun asked.

Wei Lin shook his head, "No need, let's set this place on fire, and then send someone to Xizhou to inform the local government, let them put out the fire and pay close attention to the movements of the bandits, don't let the bandits here hurt the people." ”

"Hmm." Gu Heng instructed a person next to him, and the person ran down the mountain.

After a search, because the bandits were in a hurry, there were many things that they didn't take away, so Wei Lin asked everyone to move out all the things that they could use, and then hand them over to Xizhou Futai to distribute to the people in need.

After cleaning up, Wei Lin asked everyone to set a fire and burned down the bandits' houses on Liangshan.

Xizhou Mansion came in a hurry, and the one who ran was sweating profusely, he thought that he had missed meeting with the emperor and queen in Xizhou City, and he was afraid that he would not have the opportunity to see Tianyan again in this life, but he didn't expect God to see him sincerely, the emperor and queen didn't go, and they took a detour to Liangshan to suppress the bandits, but fortunately, the person who came to report the news said that the emperor and queen did not hurt the dragon body and phoenix body, otherwise it would not be a crime to die a hundred times.

Liangshan bandits are rampant, he sent troops to clear and suppress several times did not eradicate them, but the officers and soldiers suffered heavy losses, originally waited for the locust plague to pass, and found a way to send someone to sneak into Liangshan, find out the inside story of the Liangshan bandits, and then attack by surprise, but he did not do anything, the emperor and queen exterminated the locusts, and by the way, he also killed the big boss of Liangshan, he felt guilty that the local officials did it, but as long as he could see the emperor and queen, even if he met the emperor and queen, he was disciplined or dismissed, and the people of Futai felt that it was worth it.

didn't have time to wipe his sweat, so the lord of Futai knelt on the ground one by one, kowtowed and said: "Xizhou Futai Lu Yi knocked on the emperor and queen, the lower officials are useless, and the emperor and queen are asked to punish the crime." ”

Wei Lin walked over and helped Lu Yi up, "Get up, what kind of crime is treated, you didn't make a mistake." ”

Lu Yi was personally helped up by the emperor, and his voice trembled when he replied with emotion, "The emperor ...... The emperor, the lower official is the Xizhou Mansion, and he is helpless in the face of the locust plague, and he can't be exterminated in the face of the Liangshan bandits, so the lower official ...... Xia Guan really has no face to see the emperor and queen. ”

"It's not your fault." Wei Lin saw something from the clutter, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, "You are a magistrate, and you have not been in office for a long time, and you are not familiar with the people and terrain of Xizhou, so it is inevitable that you will be unable to do it." ”

Lu Yi saw that the emperor did not blame him, and he was grateful, no wonder the officialdom said that the emperor is kind to his subjects, and when he saw it today, it is really a blessing for the world that the subjects of the world have such a king.

Even if the emperor doesn't blame, Lu Yi is also uneasy in his heart, and self-examined: "The emperor, the queen, the lower officials really have no eyes, and even the emperor and queen don't know that they have arrived in Xizhou, and they also trouble the emperor and queen to pretend to be civilians to buy locusts at a high price on Xizhou Street, so as to boost the hearts of the people and appease the suffering of the people, and the lower officials know that there are people on the street who do good things for the people, and they ...... I was still suspicious, thinking that I was ...... Thought it was ......"

Lu Yi was very ashamed, he suspected the emperor and queen of having an ulterior purpose, and let the people below monitor the emperor and queen day and night to buy locusts.

As a result, his subordinates couldn't get close to where the emperor and queen lived, and they didn't know what the emperor and queen were doing.

Gu Yun smiled and said, "Lord Lu has been monitoring us for several days, did you find anything?" ”

Lu Yi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "My people were arrested by this general's people one mile closer. ”

"Lord Lu, have you ever eaten a special snack on the street?" An Ran asked jokingly.

"Huh? Snack? Lu Yi didn't understand why the queen asked him like this.

The whisper below reminded him, "It's the snack that suddenly popped up on Xizhou Street, the kind that everyone on the street is rushing to buy." ”

"Oh." Lu Yi reacted, "Returning to the queen's mother, I'm ashamed, the lower officials haven't eaten it." ”

How can he have the heart to eat, the court has not replied to the locust plague for a long time, and there is suddenly a person on the street who buys locusts, and the bandits in Liangshan are ready to move, both sides have to pay close attention, but they can't find any information, his hair is almost gray, he is very uncomfortable every day, and he has the leisure to eat snacks.

"But when Mrs. Xia arrived, she asked someone to buy one, and Mrs. said it was delicious." Lu Yi said truthfully.

"Oh?" An Ran smiled and remained silent.

Wei Lin also smiled and told Lu Yidao: "That snack is made by the queen with locusts, I eat it every day, and it is indeed delicious." ”

"Huh? That's locusts? "People who have eaten it can't believe it.

"What happened to the locusts? People are also insect insects, okay, there is non-rich protein, isn't it delicious? Seeing that these people were making a fuss, An Ran rolled his eyes and said, "The emperor and the palace have eaten." ”

"No, no, the officials are just surprised, locusts can also eat?" The officials hurriedly explained, for fear of upsetting the queen.

"You can eat it, haven't any of you eaten it? It's not poisoned, it doesn't cause discomfort, it's good, and it's delicious, isn't it? An Ran smiled.

"The queen mother is really knowledgeable, understand a lot of things, I have heard the conversation of the adults in the court, saying that the queen mother knows astronomy, knows geography, today I am fortunate to see it, I really don't listen to the queen mother, I don't know that locusts can be made into delicious, there is ...... There is ...... "What's there?" Lu Yi forgot the new word that the queen mother said just now, he hadn't heard that word.

"Protein." An Ran added for him. 315 Chinese Network

"Yes, yes, protein." What is Cocoprotein? Lu Yi didn't dare to ask, so he went back and flipped through the book to check.

Compared with the queen mother, he, a jinshi who has studied hard for ten years, is so shallow.

"It's not early, queen, we have to rush back to the capital, if we don't go back, Lord Li and Lord He will come to pick them up in person."

"Okay, go back." An Ran jumped from a tree branch.

"Your Majesty, the queen, let's stay for another day, so that the lower officials can do their best." Lu Yi wants to stay as the emperor and queen.

"Yes, the emperor and queen, stay for another day." The officials of Xizhou were sincere in keeping Wei Lin and Anran.

"Nope." Wei Lin waved his hand, "I and the queen are in Xizhou, I don't want to disturb the people, if it weren't for the bandits in Liangshan, I wouldn't have summoned you, you guys will protect the people of Xizhou, I can see that you are all good officials who do practical things for the people, I am relieved, I hope you can make political achievements in the future, and you will go to Beijing to report on your work in the future, I invite you to drink." ”

"The lower officials thank the emperor." The Xizhou officials were encouraged by the emperor, and their faces were full of jubilation.

The finishing matter of Liangshan was handed over to Xizhou Futai and them, Wei Lin and An Ran went down the mountain, Lu Yi wanted to send it, but Wei Lin left him behind, let him keep an eye on the fire, don't burn the mountain.

Lu Yi had no choice but to take the order, standing on the top of the mountain and reluctant to see the emperor and queen leave.

I secretly swore in my heart that I must make political achievements in Xizhou and wait for the emperor to meet him.

The way back to Beijing was very smooth, except for a few stops at the inn along the way, and then arrived in Beijing.

Lord He and the others really went out of the city to greet them, and after seeing Wei Lin safely performing the monarch and minister's courtesy, Lord He complained, "Your Majesty, the queen, why don't you two say hello to the ministers in Xizhou?" The minister was really anxious to die, and he asked His Royal Highness to learn that the emperor and queen had gone to Xizhou, and Weichen was so frightened that he dared to inform Lord Lu of Xizhou, and as a result, Lord Lu flew a pigeon and passed the book back to Beijing to know what the emperor and queen did in Xizhou, and it can't be like this in the future, it's too dangerous, how can the emperor and queen buy locusts on the street to make snacks and sell them? ”

I know that the emperor and queen are close to the people, but this is too close to the people, Lord He doesn't know how to say it, in case he meets Cui Mao, the emperor and queen will bring that little person with him, and there is not even an army to save him.

Fortunately, he came back without danger, and his hanging heart could finally be put back in his stomach.

"Is there something happening in the DPRK? How is His Highness's governance doing? Wei Lin asked what had happened during his absence.

"Nothing has happened, Your Highness is modest, but everything is discussed with our ministers like the emperor, but the emperor and queen can no longer be so willful, our ministers are really worried day and night, the emperor and queen can not be like this in the future, what if something happens?" Lord He complained again.

"Okay, I got it." Wei Lin patted Lord He on the shoulder and said apologetically.

After returning to the palace, Wei Lin and An Ran took a bath and changed their clothes first, and Gonggong Li was already waiting in the palace, waiting to give the emperor and the queen mother a report on the things in the womb these days.

"How?" An Ran asked.

Gonggong Li shook his head, "The four opera troupes have all been recruited, and this time the recruitment of old slaves is also according to the instructions of the queen's mother, strict on the outside and loose on the inside, but there is nothing abnormal." ”

"Since she doesn't want to get into the opera class, then she has other plans, don't worry, we just have to wait slowly." An Ran smiled at Wei Lin.

Wei Lin blinked, agreeing.

Cui Mao watched Liangshan's foothold turn to ashes, and secretly admired Wei Lin and Lin Wan'er's way of handling politics in his heart.

The locust plague in Xizhou is gone, the people not only did not lose much food, but also caught locusts and got a lot of money, when leaving, they also burned the bandit nest in Liangshan, and now the people of Xizhou praise their emperor and queen.

But Cui Mao is still a little dissatisfied in his heart, the flood can be sparse, the locust plague can be extinguished, what about the plague?

Cui Mao chose Dingzhou this time.

He wanted to see what else Wei Lin and Lin Wan'er could use to control the epidemic after the outbreak of the plague in Dingzhou.

Whether they can control it or not, it will be beneficial to him.

If he can't control it, Wei Lin and Lin Wan'er's court will lose the hearts of the people, and when the time comes, he will cooperate with Liu Yan and the outside world, and it will take less effort to take charge of the court.

"Father-in-law, give." Liu Yan handed a glass bottle to Cui Mao.

Cui Mao walked to a well, deliberately pretending to be thirsty to fetch water, and seeing that no one noticed him, he threw the plague of the glass bottle in his hand into the well water.
