Chapter 52: I will die this day

The fast cavalry has arrived at the Civil Affairs Ministry quickly.

A quick report was sent to the desk of Dai Zhou, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and picked up the memorial. Dai Zhou looked down and almost fainted.

"The heaven is unkind, and the people are unhappy."

With a long sigh, Dai Zhou then coughed desperately, and his whole body was trembling.

Too scary...

In the northern part of Guanzhong, a large number of locusts appeared, countless locusts covering the clouds and the sun.

What's even more terrifying is that these locusts have already rushed straight to Chang'an, and it won't take long to sweep the entire Guanzhong.

Guanzhong... is the largest granary in the world.

Dai Zhou, who is over 60 years old, has experienced several locust plagues. He is very clear about what the locust plague means.

According to the report, this locust plague was bigger than the previous year, and the locusts came more fiercely.

It's over...

Dai Zhou felt the darkness in front of him, and his body trembled. Next... a more terrifying scene was about to appear, and thousands of miles away from the ground... people feasted each other!

"Enter the palace quickly!"

...

Li Shimin was very sad.

I... no, where is Princess Sui'an's money...

Looking down at Qian Buzi on the desk, the numbers on the head were still dense, but now... these numbers no longer have much meaning. I must peel off this bastard Chen Zhengtai next time.

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and became more and more impatient.

Zhang Qian hurried over: "Your Majesty...Di Gong asked for a meeting."

"Prince."

Li Shimin calmed down.

A moment later, Dai Zhou entered the hall. Obviously, he walked very anxiously, sweating heavily, and ran to Li Shimin panting and saluting: "My teacher..."

As he said that, he took out a report.

Zhang Qian's report to Li Shimin.

When Li Shimin saw the report, his pupils shrank.

But... his performance was surprisingly not out of place.

But... his sunken eyebrows have revealed the seriousness of the problem.

Li Shimin was silent for a long time, slowly put down the report, and a trace of coldness flashed through his eyes: "Call the ministers!"

The bells and drums in the palace resounded over the Tai Chi Palace.

The officials on duty in front of the palace couldn't help but look up in surprise...

Immediately, all officials met.

Li Shimin wore a suit and crowned nine chapters, wearing a red crown on his head, and sat upright behind the imperial case. After the ministers finished their courtesy, Li Shimin opened his mouth and said, "Here is coming to Yongzhou, there is more than a month of drought here for a long time. Three days ago, locusts suddenly appeared. A few days ago, locusts covered the sun and swept across counties. Locusts... Locusts appeared in Guanzhong!"

A word of locusts appearing in Guanzhong... the palace suddenly became an uproar.

In fact... many people have begun to notice some signs, such as scattered locusts beginning to appear in Chang'an City.

For example, there have been some days in Chang'an that have not rained.

Of course...the signs are signs, and sometimes some locusts occasionally appear, which is a common occurrence, or... in local areas, some appear...it's no big deal.

But what Your Majesty said about locusts is obviously different, which means that a huge disaster is about to come.

In this era, locusts are more terrifying than floods, because they only affect the prefectures and counties along the coast. Once a large-scale locust plague occurs... then the entire fertile Guanzhong land will soon become a hell on earth.

Li Shimin suddenly stood up.

When he first received the report, he seemed very calm, but now in front of the ministers, Li Shimin's eyes were red, his voice was a little tired and hoarse: "The people take the grain as their life, and the locusts eat it, which is harmful to the people. The people have made mistakes. I am giving one person a person, as if the locusts have spirits, it will damage my heart and harm the people!"

The meaning of this sentence is very simple, but it means that the people survive on food, and if the locusts eat it, it is an infringement on the people. The following words are the guilt of all directions, and the crime is my intention.

Li Shimin took a deep breath, raised his eyes, and saw that all the ministers were ashamed.

The harm of locusts is well known... Even Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others... can only do at this moment.

only……

When Li Shimin said it, he found that among the ministers, someone suddenly turned black and with a bang, someone fell to the ground.

The ministers were in an uproar and looked at the man.

Li Shimin also looked at him. At this moment, he was in a state of confusion, but saw a minister falling head-on in the hall.

If you look closely, it was Wei Hongsu, a scattered dynasty doctor. Wei Hongsu was Wei Xuanzhen's clan uncle. He became an official in the court. When he heard the news of the locust plague, he fainted.

Li Shimin was shocked and thought to himself that this is a true minister, and he was so sad when he heard about the disaster, and I was not as good as him.

The eunuchs panicked and hurriedly wanted to help Wei Hongsu up.

But at this moment... Suddenly... someone fell to the ground with a slap, beating his heart like crazy, choking and unspeakable, and his mouth was opened and closed. After a long time, he made a heart-wrenching sound: "This is the destruction of me!"

This person cried...

Suddenly, Li Shimin could no longer control his emotions. His sadness would be infected. Li Shimin's eyes turned red and his body trembled. He thought to himself, I have only been in the top three years and have encountered such a great disaster. Could it be that this is God's warning?

If so, how will the subjects view me? If the land of Guanzhong is thousands of miles away and countless people are hungry, what are the faces of me... I am called lonely and widowed?

Thinking of this, I felt that my heart hurt so much.

…………

"Official, Official..."

Huang Chenggong was in a hurry and found Wei Xuanzhen.

Wei Xuanzhen stood in his back garden, the Wei family's back garden, covering an area of ​​100 acres, planted countless precious tree species and countless strange stones, which can be called a fairyland on earth.

At this time... Wei Xuanzhen held her hands behind her back, staring at the fat locusts on the branches and leaves in front of her without moving.

Somehow, some locusts appeared in the back garden.

Huang Chenggong has arrived behind Wei Xuanzhen.

"Owner..."

Wei Xuanzhen showed a strange expression on her face, but did not look back at Huang Chenggong, but said lightly: "How strange, where are the locusts coming from at this time? What's the success? Is it... going to breed locusts?"

"The master of the host is really a brilliant idea. Students are far better than those of the host!"

“…”

After hearing Huang Chenggong's words, Wei Xuanzhen suddenly felt a sudden slack in her heart. Unconsciously, she found that her feet were a little weak. His body trembled slightly, and he turned around with his hands behind his back, barely maintaining a smile on his face: "The locust damage is not serious, is it? Are they appearing sporadically?"

Huang Chenggong seemed to be raising his four sons until now, and then he realized that he was not born to him.

He wandered for a moment: "The Master...there is the Ministry of Civil Affairs...there is news just now...the locusts are coming...number of locusts...has swept across the northern part of Guanzhong and spread everywhere. Chang'an... cannot be preserved. This locust is afraid that it has not happened in a century."

The last smile on Wei Xuanzhen's face disappeared in an instant, and his face became tragic.

Not available in a century.

In fact, with the Wei family's family's background, even if they encounter disasters, they cannot hurt them.

But now... the Wei family's thousands of hectares of fertile land in Chang'an have not yet matured, and this year... I'm afraid it will be out of stock.

And what's even more terrifying is...

Wei Xuanzhen said with difficulty: "Our grain has not been delivered yet, right?"

The transaction of food takes time.

This kind of thing will naturally be left to the people, and Wei Xuanzhen looked at Huang Chenggong tightly.

The air is stagnant.

The wind is very gentle.

Huang Chenggong faced Wei Xuanzhen's desolate face silently, and then... nodded slowly.

Wei Xuanzhen's pupils contracted, and she felt more and more that her legs... could no longer support her body: "All have been handed over?"

"Yes, students are afraid of the night and dreams..."

Wei Xuanzhen: “…”
