"You brought it here?"
"When I came, I searched at home for a long time, but I couldn't find it. I thought..."
Looking at the sword that Zhao Chen handed over to him, Li Ruoshuang was a little surprised.
That day, she was so angry that she threw the sword on the ground and ran out in excitement.
When I returned to Zhao's mansion and Uncle Fu to instruct me today, I searched for a long time. At that time, Li Ruoshuang still felt that Zhao Chen was really angry.
Even her sword was lost.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Chen kept it with him.
"Please hold it away, you can't throw things around next time." Zhao Chen did not say anything else and put the sword in Li Ruoshuang's hand.
Wei Zheng took the empty bowls and chopsticks and burped by.
"That Zhao Chen, you guys chat slowly. I'll wash the dishes. Who will be in the kitchen later? I'm old and I'm holding my ears behind my back. Don't worry." Wei Zheng couldn't help but say this suddenly, and it was like
It's like stealing a bell with a cover.
"Get out of bed quickly." Zhao Chen glared at Wei Zheng and cursed.
Wei Zheng didn't care about it and walked towards the kitchen with a smile.
Soon, the sound of water came from the kitchen, and not long after, the candlelight in the kitchen was extinguished.
"Are my mother-in-law particularly disappointed with me?"
"And your father..." Zhao Chen whispered.
"No, it was my mother who advised me to come over. My mother had no intention of blaming you. When she set off, she also told us to inform her as soon as possible after we went back, and she would welcome us." Li Ruoshuang shook her head and held Zhao
Chen's hand comforted him.
"My father is still busy with military books, but I know that he saw something, but he just said nothing."
"Zhao Chen, don't worry, we are all a family, no matter what decision you make, everyone will support you." Li Ruoshuang held Zhao Chen's hand tightly and said firmly.
Zhao Chen nodded.
On the same day, he heard Luo Tong say that the prince had already prepared many assassins for cooperation with Cui Yan of the Boling Cui clan.
Zhao Chen was completely panicked.
If he was just himself, if Li Chengqian really dared to do something with him, Zhao Chen could have let him be buried with him.
However, in the past year in Chang'an City, he has been too concerned.
The crown prince is the crown prince after all. Even if the emperor and the queen are good to her, she will not be sure that the crown prince will be killed by herself.
This is something that can't be done.
"I met His Majesty who was returning to the city on the road. His Majesty asked me to tell you that you are his son. He also knows what you are worried about, but he can guarantee that he will never reach that point."
"I also said that if you had rested here, you would go home early. The queen didn't know about you yet and kept saying that she wanted to see you, but she was stopped by His Majesty." Li Ruoshuang said again.
On the way, I happened to meet Li Shimin who was returning to the city. Although Li Shimin said that to Wei Zheng, he was still worried.
So I explained to Li Ruoshuang for a long time.
"That old guy always forgets to take advantage of me." Zhao Chen was stunned for a moment and cursed with a smile.
Zhao Chen only thought it was Lao Li who was showing off his words and said goodbye to him, so he didn't care at all.
"It's not too early. You have been running for so long. Let's go to rest. Old Man Wei is in the kitchen and is now asleep. He can't boil water and wash. Just rest like this." Zhao Chen got up and said to Li Ruoshuang.
.
"Then..." Li Ruoshuang was a little shy.
In Zhao's mansion, she slept in separate rooms with Zhao Chen.
Although the two are nominally husband and wife, they have no formal church yet.
Today, there is only one room here.
"You are still afraid that I will not be able to eat you, let's go and sleep." Zhao Chen smiled and pulled Li Ruoshuang into it.
Li Ruoshuang lowered her head, and her heart beat like a drumbeat.
...
Li Shimin returned to Chang'an and locked the closed city gate open.
The generals guarding the city were also shocked.
I thought to myself why the emperor came back from outside so late.
But he didn't dare to ask about this, after all, the emperor's expression seemed a little ugly.
I dare not provoke it.
Under the vast night, Li Shimin drove his horse and ran wildly.
After entering the palace city, he immediately ordered to summon Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and other ministers.
They were sleeping soundly in their house, so they woke up the servants at home.
Looking at the eunuch who was anxious, everyone's heart was shocked.
In Ganquan Palace, Li Shimin hurriedly ate some food and no longer had an appetite.
Once the locust incident happens, the happiness of last year will instantly turn into bubbles.
At this moment, Changsun Wuji also arrived outside the hall and waited for summoning him.
"Your Majesty, everyone is here." The eunuch in charge of serving Li Shimin said.
"Call them in, and everyone else goes down." Li Shimin nodded.
Locust plague is a major problem, but before it happens, no news can be leaked.
Otherwise, how can I know if someone will do something by taking advantage of this locust plague?
The eunuchs and the palace maids left, and Changsun Wuji and others also entered the hall.
"Stop talking nonsense, Auxiliary Machine, I ask you, I will receive agricultural memorials from all over the country recently."
"Did you mention the above about the spring drought this year and the snowfall in last winter?" Li Shimin didn't want to say anything useless.
He went straight in and asked Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji happened to be curious about why the emperor summoned him and others in the middle of the night, but he didn't expect that this was the case.
"Report to your Majesty, there were many memorials about the lack of snowfall last winter, but most of them were in the southern region."
"Your Majesty also knows that it is normal for the temperature in the south to be high and there is no snow in winter. As for the spring drought that Your Majesty said, there has never been a memorial for you."
"Your Majesty, what happened?" Changsun Wuji finished explaining and asked the emperor again.
In the middle of the night, they were summoned to ask about these things, and it must be that the emperor was full and full.
"Duan Lun, you are the Minister of Works and the Department of Works. Do you have any reports?" Li Shimin did not explain to Changsun Wuji, but looked at Duan Lun, the Minister of Works.
In the Tang Dynasty, military farming matters were all within the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Works.
The Ministry of Works has a military farmer who specializes in managing this matter.
They are the clearest about the agricultural situation in various places.
"There has never been a report." Duan Lun bowed and said.
Li Shimin stopped asking questions, and his expression eased a lot more than before.
Looking at the ministers in front of him, Li Shimin said slowly: "I went to Wannian County today. The villagers said that this spring drought and there was less snow last winter."
"Zhao Chen told me last year that there will be locusts after a long drought. In June this year, there will be a locust plague."
"Locust plague?" Fang Xuanling's face immediately changed.
"Your Majesty, the locust plague is of great importance, and you should not believe it easily." Changsun Wuji also changed color suddenly, but he quickly comforted him.
The Tang Dynasty was founded for nearly twenty years, but it only experienced one locust plague.
It was that time that almost broke the Tang Dynasty’s country.
