Tai Chi Palace.
Li Shimin was furious in the palace, furious.
The locust disaster was approaching, but Li Jing had already led troops to attack the invading Turks and repeatedly requested for food and grass.
If the locust plague remains unresolved and the food harvest ceases, even Li Jing, the God of War, will not be able to stop the Turks this time.
Internal and external troubles.
Li Shimin was naturally extremely angry.
But what made him most angry was that some people linked this matter to the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
Frankly speaking, it was because he trapped his father and killed his brother to seize the throne, and his origins were evil, that he attracted the wrath of heaven and the hatred of people.
Li Shimin threw many memorials in front of the ministers and scolded: "Zhang Liang, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, I order you to arrest those who spread rumors immediately."
Before Zhang Liang could speak, Wei Zheng, a little expert in seeking death, came out and said: "Your Majesty, you must not do it. It is better to defend the people's mouth than to defend the river."
Li Shimin's cheeks twitched and he said angrily: "Prime Minister Wei, are we going to let them spread rumors and smear our royal family of the Tang Dynasty?"
Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty is upright and is not afraid of slanting shadows."
Li Shimin was so angry that his hands were shaking. He was afraid that his shadow would be tilted because his body was not straight.
Several times he has made murderous intentions.
Wei Zheng continued: "I feel that the most urgent task is to solve the locust plague. His Royal Highness, the Prince, is giving porridge outside the city and it has become a good talk. We should take it as a show and secretly help the Prince to let the world know that our Tang Dynasty, from top to bottom,
They all support the people.”
"Then, let the well-fed victims go to the fertile fields outside the city to catch locusts. It is best to set a reward for how many kilograms of locusts are caught, how much rice, or money."
Li Shimin originally wanted to be angry, but Wei Zheng's proposal made him very satisfied.
The ministers also nodded frequently.
This is a rare suggestion in recent days.
The only person in trouble was Sun Shunde, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs. "Your Majesty, gentlemen, the Ministry of Household Affairs does not have much food and money left, and it is simply unable to support the victims in catching insects."
Li Shimin was shocked and said angrily: "Where have they all gone?"
Changsun Shunde said: "Your Majesty, the accounts have been planned, and the rest has been misappropriated by you to fight against the Turks."
Li Shimin was extremely angry. He finally came up with a feasible plan, but it ended up being stranded because he had no money or food.
Next.
The ministers continued to quarrel, and those led by Wei Zheng and others asked each department to raise money and food; while those led by Changsun Shunde simply destroyed it to show that they had no money.
Harem.
Li Shimin came back and threw his hat in anger.
"I'm so angry. Those old men only know how to quarrel and can't solve the country's major issues."
The queen came out of the back hall and brought a bowl of sugar water for Li Shimin to drink.
Li Shimin drank sugar water, looked at the queen's dress again, and asked doubtfully: "Guanyin, how do you dress like a folk dress?"
Without saying a word, the queen came directly to Li Shimin and made a grand ceremony.
Li Shimin was so frightened that he quickly went up to help her, "Guanyin maid, why are you doing this?"
The Queen smiled and said: "I would like to congratulate Your Majesty and congratulate Your Majesty."
Li Shimin said: "Don't worry, Maid Guanyin, there is no need to repeat the old story, I will not kill Wei Zheng and the others."
But the queen shook her head and said: "That's not what I said, but that I found a solution to the locusts and found a capable person for Your Majesty."
Li Shimin was so smart, he thought: "Did you go to Hualong Temple?"
"Yes!"
The queen admitted directly, with a smile on her face, "Taoist Priest Wu Gu is truly a master in the world."
Li Shimin became interested, helped her up and sat down, and said quickly: "What is this person's ability? Isn't he really being mysterious?"
He had actually sent people to investigate Su Chen and had gone through almost all of Su Chen's past.
That is an ordinary little Taoist priest. His master has passed away. It is said that his strength is not as strong as the fourth level of martial arts. Because he observes filial piety for three years, otherwise his Taoist temple will be taken back.
Ordinary, unremarkable.
But recently, it has been extremely effective in interpreting signatures and has gained a reputation.
Li Shimin was also a little puzzled. How could a person who didn't even have true energy be able to predict events like a god and avoid disasters?!
The Queen said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Taoist Priest Wu Gu has real abilities and is definitely not being cryptic."
Then he told me everything that happened on Hualong Temple.
"What!?"
"Locusts are not a natural disaster, but a gift from God?!"
"Can it be eaten?!"
Li Shimin was stunned, his eyes were dull and he couldn't believe it.
The queen waved her hand, and the old eunuch Wuji immediately brought a plate with several plates of locusts, some boiled, some fried, and some stir-fried.
She was the first to eat one, and Li Shimin was so frightened that he wanted to stop her, but when he saw the queen eating it, not only was she fine, but she also looked like she was enjoying it.
He was confused.
At the same time, hope flashed in his eyes.
He quickly grabbed a locust, threw it into his mouth without hesitation, chewed it a few times, and then swallowed it.
The next moment.
Li Shimin had tears in his eyes!
Then he burst out laughing, "Hahaha, good, good, God is merciful, ancestors bless me, the natural disaster is a gift from God, haha, great, great!"
Then he picked up a few more and ate them, "Guanyin maid, you have done great service."
The queen smiled and said, "It's not me who has done the meritorious deeds, but Taoist Master Wu Gu who has done the great deeds."
Li Shimin nodded, "Yes, it's a gift from God that he can calculate this, and he can also suggest that we take the lead in eating, so that the world will follow. It can be seen that in addition to being able to calculate, he is also a rare person who can govern the world!"
He touched his beard and was very satisfied, "It's a reward."
"What should I reward him with? Why not just give him that appreciation and never take it back."
The queen nodded, "It should be, but it's not enough."
Li Shimin nodded, but he also had some doubts in his heart. The queen seemed extremely excited today.
When she was confused, the queen ordered someone to bring a plate, opened it and saw that it was an ear of rice.
"This is an ear of rice. Well, under the raging locusts, there are still ears of rice growing so vigorously. Who is an expert in planting!?"
The queen smiled and said nothing.
Li Shimin was shocked: "Is it Taoist Priest Wu Gu again?"
The Queen said: "Your Majesty, it is him. However, you have misunderstood. This is not an ordinary ear of rice."
Li Shimin picked it up and studied it carefully, and he found something unusual. He was surprised and said: "The grains are full and bigger than the rice grains in ordinary fields, and there are more than ten times more rice grains in one rice ear than usual."
His eyes widened, "Why is that so?"
The queen said: "Taoist Priest Wu Guo has planted rice in his farmland. The rice grains contain weak spiritual power. Taking it can increase your power. Moreover, the yield per mu is more than eight thousand kilograms."
hiss!
"What did you say!?"
Li Shimin stood up in shock, his eyes widened in disbelief.
Even his overreaction alerted the eunuchs and guards outside the door, who hurriedly poked their heads in to check.
When they saw it was a husband and wife, they stared at each other and quickly returned to their seats.
"Guanyin, did you read that correctly?" Li Shimin said excitedly.
The queen said: "The guard commander reported that his family owns three fields of farmland. He was also a farmer in the past. He knows this very well and there will be no lies."
Li Shimin stood up and walked around the hall, his hands trembling with excitement.
"Hahaha!"
"Okay, okay, God helps me in the Tang Dynasty, God bless me in the Tang Dynasty!"
The queen said: "Erlang, the matter is not that simple. This is a sacred object. I'm afraid that Taoist Master Wu Gu will not give it lightly."
Li Shimin instinctively wanted to say, if you don't give it, take it.
But he held back, weighed it for a moment, and said: "This is a rare talent, and it has amazing talent. If we rashly snatch it and make it an enemy, it will be a loss to the Tang Dynasty."
The queen nodded repeatedly.
Li Shimin said: "If I ask him to give or buy, will he be willing?"
The queen said: "This time I went in person, he didn't even mention it. I think he was unhappy. Maybe he grew up to feed himself."
Li Shimin's eyes flickered, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I want to visit him in person and show him his emotions and reason. He is an expert in the world, and he certainly cannot bear the world's hunger."
The Queen nodded repeatedly and said: "Your Majesty, please don't go immediately. He refuses to give. Maybe he wants to see if we have the will to serve the world."
"Guanyin Maid is saying that he wants to see how we deal with the natural disasters in front of us? Maybe, he wants to test us?!"
The queen nodded repeatedly, and the more Li Shimin thought about it, the more likely it was that he felt it was possible.
An expert outside the world would definitely not care about worldly things. He had this divine thing but did not give it to the queen, or even mentioned it. He would definitely not give it to her for the time being.
Now that Li Shimin is gone, nothing will change.
Something must be done!
"Wuji, pass on my order. I want to reward Taoist Master Wugou. Also, pass on the order immediately. My whole family will eat locusts. This is a gift from God!"
