Chapter 1 The Prince Has a Clever Plan

Next Chapter

"The plague of locusts is more fierce than the tigers!"

"Have you heard, His Majesty the Emperor issued an edict, who can solve the upcoming locust plague, a reward of 10,000 gold, a three-level promotion, and a title to the Duke of the Kingdom!"

"Now that the locusts are about to become a plague, if there is no solution, most of the territory of the Ming Empire in the south of Beiling will become a place where locusts are raging."

"The point is that now no one in the entire court can come up with a good way to solve this matter."

"His Majesty the Emperor has been anxious for a few days without sleep for this reason."

Bursts of discussion sounded in his ears, and Chen Changfeng only felt irritable.

When he opened his eyes, he was about to scold, but he found that there were several beautiful women in ancient costumes standing in front of him.

The furniture in front of me is not what I remembered.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you can be regarded as awake!"

"Your Majesty has just sent a will, quickly summon the prince to the Taiji Palace." A maid found Chen Changfeng awake with an excited face.

Chen Changfeng looked around, his face still confused.

He only remembered that his special brigade was on a mission, but unexpectedly a member of the team was trapped.

As the captain of the brigade, he was a member of the rescue team and had to go to the battalion.

Unexpectedly, he was plotted by the enemy, and Chen Changfeng fell into the valley after being shot.

Now I wake up to ......

A brief sharp pain suddenly struck, and Chen Changfeng found that he suddenly had an extra memory in his mind.

"Chen Changfeng, eighteen years old, the son of the late Empress Xu of the Ming Empire, the sixth son of Chen Yuan, the emperor of the Ming Empire, and the crown prince of the Ming Empire."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" The maid of the East Palace shouted quietly.

Chen Changfeng came back to his senses, and at this moment he realized that he had actually crossed over.

And he traveled to a Ming Empire that was completely different from his impression.

And outside the Ming Empire, there were other powers.

"I'm fine." Chen Changfeng shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

The maid was a little speechless, and said in her heart that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really has no ambitions, and he slept until now last night, and everyone is sleepy.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty has a will, you better hurry up and go to the Taiji Palace." The maid reminded again.

"To the Tai Chi Temple?" Chen Changfeng was stunned.

Then I remembered through my memory that not long ago, news came from the state capital south of Beiling that they had found a large area of locusts this year.

It is autumn now, and in another month, the grain of the Ming Empire will be harvested.

If there is no way to solve the large-scale locusts that appear this time, the Ming Empire will definitely repeat the mistakes of last year.

Last year's locust plague caused heavy losses to the Ming Empire.

The people south of Beiling have almost no harvest, and hundreds of thousands of people have become homeless.

The imperial court spent a huge amount of money to relieve the disaster, and the national strength was seriously damaged.

At that time, the Great Chu Empire in the east took advantage of the fire to rob, took the opportunity to invade the Ming Empire, and took away the thirteen cities in the southern county of the Ming Empire.

I thought that after one experience, the locust plague would not appear again.

The Ming Empire can also recuperate and recuperate, strengthen the people and enrich the country.

But I didn't expect it......

At the same time, Chen Changfeng also realized that he, the prince, gave people the impression that he did not learn and had no ambitions, and he was walking dogs and fighting cocks every day.

It was very unpopular with the emperor of the Ming Empire.

None of the officials in the court supported the crown prince.

The emperor already had the idea of deposing the crown prince.

Yesterday, the emperor of the court meeting had already let Chen Changfeng pass earlier today.

I didn't want Chen Changfeng to get drunk last night, so I didn't wake up until now.

If this is known by the emperor, his position as the crown prince will definitely be abolished.

It's not easy to be a prince, but you can't lose it like this.

"That's right, just now His Majesty sent the great eunuch Liu Xi over, seeing that Your Highness is still sleeping......"

"I'll go over now." Chen Changfeng didn't wait for the maid to finish speaking, and immediately got up and got out of bed.

It's just a plague of locusts, and it hasn't happened yet.

How can I say that I am also an experienced captain of the special brigade, although I was as old as I am now, but it is still easy to solve a locust plague.

……

On the Taiji Palace, Chen Yuan, the emperor of the Ming Empire, sat on the dragon chair, his face was very ugly.

The court was full of courtiers, and none of them could come up with a solution to the locust plague.

If there is another locust plague, his Ming Empire is estimated to disappear directly from this world.

And that's not all.

What made the Ming Emperor even more disgusting in front of him was that the envoys of the Great Chu Empire in the east who came a few days ago were yin and yang in front of him.

"Isn't the Ming Empire known as full of talents, and there is no way to solve the locust plague?"

"The people in the south of Beiling are really miserable."

"If you really can't solve it, it's better to make a suggestion below, His Majesty the Ming Emperor will assign all the land south of Beiling to my Great Chu Empire."

"My Great Chu Empire is rich and strong, even if it is a locust plague, it will definitely ensure that the livelihood of the people in the south of Beiling is worry-free."

The envoys of Great Chu showed mockery on their faces, and their eyes swept over the civil and military ministers in the court, their eyes full of disdain.

Being ridiculed like this by the envoys of Great Chu, the emperor of the Ming Empire became more and more gloomy.

The civil and military officials were furious in their hearts, but they had no way to refute the envoys of Great Chu.

If they had a way to deal with the locust plague, it would not be where they are today.

The emperor of the Ming Empire sat on the dragon chair, his fist hidden in his sleeve crumpled into a ball.

"Prime Minister, do you have a solution?" The emperor's eyes fell on Yao Xiaoren, the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty.

Yao Xiaoren's face was ugly, and then he knelt down in the center of the hall: "Your Majesty, the old minister is poor, please ask Your Majesty to surrender." ”

The Emperor's fists clenched even tighter, and his fingers turned white.

"Chen Wen, what about you, do you have a way?" The emperor's gaze looked at Chen Wen, the second prince of the Ming Dynasty, again.

Chen Wen is known for his wisdom and resourcefulness, and is known as the first genius of the Ming Dynasty.

The civil officials of the court all respected him.

Chen Wenzheng prayed that the emperor would not notice him, and when he heard the emperor ask about him, his heart ached.

"Father, the son is incompetent, the son is ......"

"That's it!" The emperor interrupted the words of the second prince, and his expression was extremely lost.

The emperor looked at the hundred officials in front of him, his eyes were full of disappointment at the moment, and all his strength seemed to be drained.

The clenched fist also slowly released.

He was bent on walking on thin ice for the prosperity and strength of the Ming Empire, but he couldn't bear the will of heaven after all.

In last year's locust plague, Daming lost the thirteen cities of Nanjun, and the national strength was directly lost by one-third.

As soon as this year's locust plague comes, his Ming Empire will definitely be completely annexed by the Great Chu Empire.

Providence is like this, it is the heavens that want to destroy his Ming Empire, not his Chen Yuan's fault.

"Your Majesty Emperor Daming, as long as you say a word, I, Da Chu, am willing to help with this."

"No matter what, the people south of Beiling are innocent." The envoys of Great Chu are now happy in their hearts.

He knew that the Ming Emperor was a benevolent monarch and could not see the people suffering.

The locust plague is a natural disaster, and there is no way to solve it.

Maybe the emperor of the Ming Empire would really assign the land south of Beiling to his Great Chu Empire.

"Your Majesty, the wolf ambition of the Great Chu Empire, if we give them the south of Beiling, they will want more after that."

"Yes, Your Majesty, let's find a way, the locusts have just appeared, there has not been a large-scale outbreak yet, we still have time, there must be a way."

"There's a way, which of you can come up with a way?" Emperor Ming sighed.

If there was a way, would it be where it is today?

As the envoys of Great Chu said, the people are innocent.

If the Ming Empire is going to die, then let him die.

After all, the people are innocent......

"If Da Chu is willing, I will agree......"

"Wait a minute, Prince Ben has a way!" When the Ming Emperor was already preparing to agree to the suggestion of the Great Chu envoy, Chen Changfeng's voice suddenly sounded.

Under the attention of everyone, Chen Changfeng came to the Taiji Hall with a resolute face.
