Datang: Starting from Li Jiancheng

Chapter 56 Locust plague
"Two masters, don't worry, as long as these children are really capable, I will definitely find them an official position in the court. Even if this is not the case, I will let them have the ability to support themselves." Luo Bin turned around Shen Sheng assured.

Luo Bin's eyes were deep and firm, very convincing.

"I believe in Lord Hou." Sun Simiao nodded.

Wang Changming on the side also pursed his lips, looking at the group of children with hope in his eyes.

Half an hour later, Luo Bin took Dou Yinger back home.

"Those children are in poor health, and my training intensity is already very weak, and they can't bear it." Dou Yinger frowned, with a helpless expression on her face.

Luo Bin nodded, "The food they had when they were young was too poor, and they may have bad influences or even anemia. It's normal to be weak."

"Don't let them train at a high intensity first, come to the weaker ones, and then gradually strengthen them, lest they can't bear it."

Dou Yinger responded and sighed softly, "That's the only way to go."

…………

night.

"Sir, someone is looking for you outside the door." A door boy came forward with a jade pendant.

Seeing this, Wang Changming's eyes darkened, "Let him in."

Then a middle-aged man walked in from the door. After taking off his cloak, he looked like the eldest grandson Wuji in ordinary clothes.

"Mr. Wang, how is your stay at Taiping Academy?" Changsun Wuji sat on a chair beside him and poured himself a cup of tea.

Wang Changming leaned over, "It's okay."

"Then do you still remember your purpose of joining Taiping Academy to teach?" Changsun Wuji raised his eyes, his eyes were dark.

"Remember." Wang Changming replied, "After entering the academy, this old man will always fight against Luo Bin and interfere with his education."

Changsun Wuji nodded in satisfaction upon hearing the words, "Then how are you doing?"

The outside world's evaluation of Taiping Academy is too high, which makes him a little flustered.

Wang Changming pursed his lips, then frowned and said, "As a scholar, even if I don't take the initiative to educate people, I don't want to do anything to mislead my children again."

"I will never forget the Duke's kindness to this old man, but I'm sorry I can't do anything about this matter."

Changsun Wuji was taken aback when he heard the words, "What did you say?"

"Wang Changming, that's not what you told me back then!"

Wang Changming's face darkened, but his eyes were full of determination, "It's the old man who is ashamed of the Duke."

"you!"

The eldest grandson Wuji got up and glared at Luo Bin. At first, he wanted to get Wang Changming into Taiping Academy to mislead his younger generation. After a while, he would insult Luo Bin in front of the world and sue Taiping Academy.

With Wang Changming's status among the students, as long as Wang Changming did this, no matter how much Luo Bin publicized it, no one would send his child to Taiping Academy again.

But now that Wang Changming turned his back on the battlefield, didn't he lift a rock and hit himself in the face, and after working hard for a long time, he made a wedding dress for Luo Bin?
"Wang Changming, do you know what the consequences will be if you do this?"

Changsun Wuji pointed at Wang Changming, his fingers trembling.

Wang Changming lowered his body even lower, "The old man is at the disposal of the Duke."

"You wait for me!"

Changsun Wuji couldn't help but stepped forward and kicked Wang Changming, then flung his sleeves and left.

This matter is of great importance, and it is still handled by him alone. If Li Shimin knows that Wang Changming turned his back on the battlefield, he will definitely blame him for his incompetence.

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji sighed softly, he couldn't let Li Shimin know about this anyway.

…………

The next day.

Tai Chi Temple.

Li Shimin sat on the high platform, his eyes were deep and humble.

"Your Majesty." Wei Zheng stepped forward suddenly, with a serious face, "Recently, locusts have flooded Guanzhong, eating a large number of crops and land, and the people are destitute. Many refugees have come to Chang'an to seek refuge."

"But the locusts are multiplying too fast, and now Chang'an is already plagued by insects."

When Wei Zheng said this, he took a careful look at Li Shimin, then pursed his lips and continued: "Now there are even some people among the people who have lost their morals, so God has sent disasters one after another."

"What?" Li Shimin's originally gloomy face suddenly became more serious, "Is there really such a rumor among the people?"

"I dare not speak nonsense." Wei Zheng nodded in response.

Hearing this, Li Shimin's lips were drawn into a line, with a bit of anger on his face.

Since he ascended the throne, earthquakes, droughts, and smallpox have occurred one after another, and now locust plagues are flooding. Could it be that the gods really don't like him sitting on the throne?

After a long time, Li Shimin sighed softly, "My dear friends, what can you do to solve this locust plague?"

Fang Xuanling stepped forward upon hearing the words, "Your Majesty, there are too many locusts now, and ordinary methods of extermination will not work at all."

"Then what do you think we should do?" Li Shimin frowned slightly.

"This..." Fang Xuanling paused, and immediately lost his mind.

Similarly, all civil and military officials in the court looked at each other in blank dismay, then lowered their heads.

Obviously there is no way.

Li Shimin saw that the crease between his brows deepened a little, and then he got up, "I order you all to think about this rescue method after you go back, and let's stop here for today."

After saying that, Li Shimin waved his sleeves and left immediately.

He was a little aggrieved by the truth of the folk rumors, and went directly to the Lizheng Palace of Empress Changsun after he came down to court.

"Guanyin servant girl." Li Shimin called softly.

Empress Changsun was embroidering in front of the bed. She was slightly taken aback when she saw Li Shimin, and then stepped forward with a face of reproach, "Your Majesty, my concubine, why didn't you send someone to inform you?"

"I come here whenever I want, you are my first wife, so you don't need to pay attention to those red tapes." Li Shimin patted Empress Changsun's hand affectionately, then frowned and said, "Guanyin maidservant, do you know about the flood of locusts in this pass?" ?”

Empress Changsun shook her head when she heard the words, "I don't know."

Even Li Shimin knew about it just now, but Empress Changsun still didn't know about it.

After Li Shimin heard Empress Changsun's answer, he simply told Empress Changsun what Wei Zheng said in the early court today, and then sighed softly, "Since I ascended the throne, natural disasters have continued."

"Even I myself doubt whether this God has a problem with me and doesn't want me to be the emperor."

After all, it was a treasonous act for him to kill his brother and force his father.

"Your Majesty is worrying too much." Empress Changsun frowned and comforted her softly, "The people were disturbed by this natural disaster for a while, so they said such unintentional words. When everything gets better, they will see Your Majesty's goodness." of."

"But none of the civil and military officials in the court thought of this solution to the locust plague." The creases between Li Shimin's eyebrows deepened a little bit, and there was deep helplessness in his eyes, "The number of locusts has reached a terrifying level. It’s beyond our control.”

"I really don't know what to do..."
