The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang was born, and my immortal identity was exposed

Chapter 54 Biological control of locusts has miraculous effects (please collect, please recommend!!!)

Sun Simiao prescribed several prescriptions for Empress Changsun, and told Li Shimin all the things that need to be paid attention to.

Then, he left again under the escort of the eunuch.

When Li Shimin returned to the palace, Li Chengqian was already so tired that he fell asleep beside Empress Changsun.

Seeing the scene where the mother and son fell into a deep sleep, Li Shimin's heart trembled slightly, half moved and half distressed.

"I don't believe it, I still have immortals to help me!"

As soon as Li Shimin thought of this, he immediately regained his vitality.

He suddenly remembered that Ying Zheng once showed off that Jiang Sheng gave him an elixir to help him prolong his life!
"The next time I see the immortal master, no matter what, I will ask for an elixir for Guanyin's maidservant!"

Li Shimin clenched his fists in his sleeves and then loosened them. He sat aside, watching the mother and son in front of him, and gradually fell asleep.

……

Four days later, Empress Changsun finally recovered with the help of Sun Simiao's prescription.

Although he still looked weak after recovering from a serious illness, he was able to get out of bed anyway.

Li Shimin was afraid that the affairs of the government would affect the mood of the queen, so he asked her to stay in the harem for a few days to keep her healthy.

On Yuchi Jingde's side, a large number of chickens and ducks had already been entangled two days ago, and sent to the nearest locust-infested place in the pass with a large army.

There is a rumor in the public that this is Yuchi Jingde's first time in a bridal sedan chair for a big girl.

Almost no one was optimistic about his expedition, they all regarded it as a joke, and those officials who opposed Li Er also felt that they had a chance to win.

But the reality is completely different from what they thought.

……

The army escorting the chickens and ducks was rushing on their way. Beside Yuchi Jingde, one of his lieutenants, hearing the crowing of chickens and ducks, muttered in dissatisfaction:
"General, what do you think His Majesty thinks? Is this "army" of chickens and ducks reliable?"

Yuchi Jingde shook his head slightly: "Your Majesty will never do anything without confidence, maybe the fairy's words are true."

"How long will it be?" He looked back at the chickens and ducks locked in the cage, "It's been two days, and I'm afraid I'll be suffocated if I keep it locked up."

The spirits of this group of chickens and ducks were already a little sluggish, which was why Yuchi Jingde was on the road day and night.

"Go back to the general!" The deputy general glanced at the map, "In half an hour, we will arrive."

"Well, let the brothers work harder!"

Before half an hour had arrived, Yuchi Jingde had already seen a large farmland in the distance.

What is even more shocking is that the farmland should have been green and lush, but it has become mottled at this moment, exposing large areas of yellow land.

When they approached the farmland, the locusts either flew around, or lay down on the crops and gnawed wantonly.

It can be seen that Yuchi Jingde's beard and hair are all stretched out. These are the lives of the common people, and they are the roots of the Tang Dynasty!

"General!" The deputy general also looked red-eyed, "No wonder the people in Guanzhong have such a hard life, these locusts are hateful!"

In a panic, the deputy general rushed into the field, waved his hands, and slapped the locusts fiercely.

However, as soon as the swarm of locusts flapped their wings, they dodged far away.

The lieutenant general knelt down on the ground weakly, a big man with tears in his eyes.

The army behind Yuchi Jingde saw this scene, their hearts were pierced like a knife.

The military service system in the early Tang Dynasty was still the Fubing system. This group of people mounted their horses to fight and dismounted to farm.

Their reaction to crops being ruined by pests is bigger and more profound than that group of officials and gentlemen.

After working hard for a year, seeing that it was time to harvest, they were eaten up by this group of locusts. How could they not feel sorry for each other?
Yuchi Jingde held back the grief in his heart, waved his hands and said: "All officers and men listen to my orders, first let out a cart of chickens and ducks, and observe the effect!"

A cart of chickens and ducks was immediately pulled to the edge of the field. As soon as the soldiers opened the door of the cage, the chickens and ducks inside couldn't wait to jump out!

I was locked up for two days and almost didn't eat anything, but these animals were starved to death.

As early as when I first came here and saw these jumping bugs, these chickens and ducks were already ready to move.

The predatory nature hidden in their blood makes them instinctively attack this group of locusts!

For a moment, I saw these hundreds of chickens and ducks jumping around in the field.

The locust, which had just made the lieutenant helpless, was helpless in front of these chickens and ducks.

With every peck, a locust is taken away, chewed twice, and swallowed into the stomach.

"Let it all out, let it all out!" Yuchi Jingde shouted loudly, the joy that could not be concealed in his voice.

The soldiers who saw this scene couldn't hold back for a long time, they waited for the general's order, and immediately opened all the cage doors.

A spectacular scene appeared, this flock of chickens and ducks overwhelmingly rushed to the field, wantonly preying on the locusts in the field.

These evil ghosts in the cage are the nightmare of these locusts!

Yuchi Jingde burst into tears, got off his horse, and knelt in the direction of the capital: "Your Majesty, God bless the Tang Dynasty, the words of the immortal are useful! The people in the pass are saved!"

Behind him, groups of soldiers dismounted and knelt down one after another.

This group of ruthless men on the battlefield cried like a group of children.

The image of that mysterious immortal in their hearts at this moment is extremely majestic.

……

Imperial City, Tai Chi Palace, inside the Tai Chi Hall.

Li Shimin was listening to the reports of the recent political affairs by the officials below, and there was a little cloud on his brows that did not dissipate.

He has had people guard the imperial study room firmly, and if there is any change, he will be notified immediately.

But in the past few days, the imperial study room has been calm, as if what happened before was just a dream.

Li Shimin didn't know how long it would be before seeing Jiang Sheng again.

If ten days and a half months are okay, what if it is ten years and twenty years?

He can afford to wait, but Changsun Wugou can't afford to wait!
Seeing his Majesty's absent-minded appearance, the officials below were also quite critical.

"Your Majesty!" A great Confucian came out and bowed his hands, "General Yuchi has left Chang'an City for two days, and there has been no news. This locust plague may be difficult to solve. Your Majesty, please make arrangements as soon as possible."

This person was also from a noble family, and this sentence is actually a pun.

On the surface, it is saying that the locust plague cannot be solved, and the disaster relief needs to be arranged by His Majesty.

In fact, it is alluding to Li Shimin's bet that he will lose, and he has to make another plan for the reform of the imperial examination system.

snort!A group of immortals, sooner or later I will wipe out all of you gentry!
Li Shimin was already irritable enough because of Empress Changsun's illness, but now this great Confucian insisted on touching his brow.

If it weren't for his full confidence in Jiang Sheng, believing that chickens and ducks are feasible to kill locusts, he would have an attack at this moment.

"That's wrong!" Du Ruhui came out to rescue Li Shimin and said, "General Yuchi only set off two days ago, and the nearest place is more than a day's walk from Chang'an."

"Even if we hurry up, we may not be able to pass the news back to Chang'an today. Why should you worry?"

As if to confirm his words, just as he finished speaking, an eunuch hurried in.

"Your Majesty! General Yuchi has sent someone back to report!"
