At the beginning, he will be divided by five horses of Tang Taizong

"Datang this year is really a year full of disasters and disasters. The relief food for the grasslands and the Yellow River has just been raised, and now the locust plague is approaching Chang'an again."

"My dear friends, how to solve this locust plague?"

An official said weakly: "Locusts are divine insects, they can't be killed, and they can't be killed."

"Your Majesty, the plague of locusts is a natural disaster. I think it is a punishment from the heavens to Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty should issue an edict to punish yourself!"

"Minister and others seconded"

"..."

The Confucian education pursued by the gentry of the Tang Dynasty, like Confucius, Dong Zhongshu, Ban Gu, etc., they believed that the occurrence of locust plagues was caused by the evil governance of the emperor, and it was a punishment from God on the rulers.

Some Confucianists even say that locusts are "divine insects" and cannot be killed.

And this kind of concept accounts for a lot of people in the court

Therefore, many people in the DPRK also advocated adopting a negative attitude towards the locusts, allowing the locusts to eat the crops.

"An edict of guilt?" Li Shimin's eyes were burning with anger when he heard this.

At this time, you only remember the edict of guilt?

Li Shimin turned red-eyed to the court officials and said, "Food is the most important thing for the people, and the people depend on the crops. Or if the locusts destroy the crops, are they still gods?"

Li Shiminka looked at the official who spoke just now, his molars creaked, and the veins on his forehead twitched.

"As an important minister in the court...you look at yourself, can the people really count on you?"

"" All the officials said nothing.

As for the officials of the noble clan headed by the five surnames and Qiwang who looked at Li Shimin coldly in the court hall, they were also silent in the court hall.

At this time, they didn't have any objections, because they also had a large piece of land, where the locust plague had passed, and there was no grass growing, and they would not eat less because they belonged to the land of the five surnames and Qiwang.

......

Gate of Princess Gaoyang's Mansion

The eldest grandson Chong came, and there were five people and six people in the clothes, still holding gifts in their hands.

It was Gao Yang who greeted him, but Gao Yang didn't want him to go in.

Now she can't wait to thank guests behind closed doors, so that her husband's identity can't be revealed...

"Then who... is there?" Chang Sun Chong asked Gao Yang with a smile on his face.

"Who?" Gao Yang couldn't help asking alertly.

"that is......."

At this moment, Fang Yiai came over, and he happened to have not left to transport the food, and saw Chang Sun Chong smiling all over his face, "Why are you here? Rare guest, why did you come to see me?"

In Fang Yi'ai's eyes, Changsun Chong is a high-minded guy, relying on his talent, he didn't bother to associate with her in the past, but why did he come here today?

Not only came, but also carrying gifts

It put him in a good mood.

But the next sentence made his hand that was about to receive the gift abruptly stop.

"It's not for you!"

"..." Fang Yiai's face was trembling with anger at this moment, her face was as purple as a purple eggplant.

Nima, what do you mean?

Not looking for me?who?

Gao Yang's heart also thumped, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He wasn't looking for his wife, could it be...

impossible!

How did he know?

......

Chapter 30: Pests

After all, the court did not discuss any results.

The fire in Li Shimin's heart had nowhere to rest.

He went to Yang's place, but it didn't work out...the fire got even worse.

I'm in a terrible mood.

With such a plague of locusts, how do the common people live?

Even let yourself write an edict of guilt?

What is even more irritating is that the ministers like Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng didn't stand up this time. Do you really think I have no temper?

The more I think about it, the more flustered I feel. It feels like a rope is strangling my neck, making it hard to breathe.

Li Shimin, who was extremely bored, suddenly felt disgusted with those memorials in the study.

"I really want to drink Qin Shou's spirits!"

Thought of here

Li Shimin immediately changed his clothes, got on his horse and rushed towards the princess mansion, the backs of Baiqisi who followed along the way were so startled that their backs were wet, and they finally caught up when they arrived at Gaoyang princess mansion .

At this time, Qin Shou was entertaining Sun Chong at home.

The son of the old uncle's family?

Or his brother-in-law?

It's just...why didn't my sister-in-law come?By the way, I haven't seen my sister-in-law yet!

However, he didn't think too much about it. For Qin Shou, the current life is very casual and natural, and it is rare for people to come. This "one load" relationship still requires a drink when sitting together.

Therefore, Qin Shou decided to cook a few dishes for his "brother-in-law" by himself.

As for the matter of cooking, Gao Yang began to do everything she could to prevent Qin Shou from entering the kitchen. In her mind, she always thought that this was something that servants should do. kang!

And after she ate Qin Shou's fried dishes, she became more and more unable to extricate herself...so she simply ignored it.

As soon as the food and wine were served, Li Shimin just arrived.

"Hey, are you ready to eat before it's dark?"

When Chang Sun Chong saw that it was Li Shimin, his complexion couldn't help changing. He stood up and was about to salute, but suddenly remembered what his father had explained to him, and his movements froze again.

"father in law!"

He has always been called His Majesty, but the first time he called it that way, it seemed extraordinarily blunt.

Li Shimin nodded at him and motioned him to sit down.

Qin Shou said bluntly: "Father-in-law, you really don't delay your meal! You left in a hurry before finishing your meal last meal. You came again just after this meal was ready."

"You haven't responded to the money we said last time for stockpiling grain. I've almost spent all the money to buy back grain. If you don't express your opinion, I really can't stand it!"

Li Shimin was startled when he heard the words, and then remembered what Qin Shou had said to him.

He said with a bitter face: "Shou'er, I will find a solution for you about the money, but my heart is so uncomfortable now! Bring some wine to my father-in-law..."

Ok?

Qin Shou couldn't help being taken aback, a little surprised.

What's going on here?

The father-in-law can be regarded as a wealthy family, the house is full of money and food, and there are servants to take care of it, and the mother-in-law is a delicate and sentimental woman, the family is harmonious inside and outside, how can it be so decadent?

"Father-in-law, it's a big deal. Let's talk about it after sitting down and eating. I'll go and finish the dishes and get a few bottles of wine."

Li Shimin sat down, and at this moment his irritable heart calmed down a lot.

This courtyard seems to have a different kind of magic, it seems that just sitting here can make you feel comfortable

Unlike in the palace, you have to worry about all kinds of family and country affairs.

Li Shimin smiled wryly, he still didn't tell Qin Shou about this matter, it would only make them worry.

If it really doesn't work, I will punish myself!

All faults are the emperor's fault!

......

It didn't take long for Qian Qinshou to put some dishes and bottles of wine on the table.

"Father-in-law, you must try these bottles of wine. The taste is definitely different."

"What's the difference?"

"Didn't you say that you were not used to the taste last time, this time the fragrance type..."

Li Shimin took it and smelled it, his eyes couldn't help but shine.

"Pour it up quickly, we will have a good time drinking him today!"

"Father-in-law, you can't walk in my shoes this time when you're drunk..."

Li Shimin couldn't help but twitched his mouth and said, "When did I wear your shoes and leave?"

"..."

Chang Sun Chong carefully filled a glass for Li Shimin with the wine, and then filled another glass for Qin Shou.

"You pour it for yourself too!" Qin Shou looked at Chang Sun Chong in surprise and said.

Chang Sun Chong was taken aback for a moment, until he felt Li Shimin's gaze, then he poured himself a glass.

Qin Shou couldn't help shaking his head, this "brother-in-law" looks quite masculine, how can he talk and do things like a bitch?So reserved?

Little did he know that Chang Sun Chong was dumbfounded at this time. Although he was also a son-in-law, his official position was low, and he didn't see His Majesty a few times a year.

Have you ever seen this side of His Majesty?

Not to mention talking to His Majesty like that, if it was me, I wouldn't have the guts to scare him to death.

"Father-in-law, this wine, according to what you said, I adjusted the taste to make it smoother, you have a taste..."

Li Shimin was unhappy, and the wine was in his heart, and he soon became drunk.

Qin Shou didn't drink less, he filled another glass, then walked up to Li Shimin and sat down, patted Li Shimin on the shoulder and said, "Father-in-law, tell your son-in-law what's the matter, don't worry about the nonsense, son-in-law It's all done for you!"

"Growing up so big, I have never seen anyone more arrogant than me."

Seeing this scene, Chang Sun Chong couldn't help but tremble.

He pulled his hair, his tongue froze, and he couldn't speak.

Nima!

Is this guy crazy? Gao Yang didn't talk about it when he was asleep, but he still talked to His Majesty like this?

However, His Majesty didn't feel displeased at all, just put down the empty cup in his hand, sighed and said: "This matter is a long story, you can't do much help if you tell it, so don't say it!"

Seeing his father-in-law so depressed, Qin Shou couldn't help saying, "Father-in-law, why are you sighing!"

"Life is like a tide, there are always ups and downs, flowers bloom and fall, ups and downs change, life is short, don't blame others, keep striving for self-improvement!"

Qin Shou said this very casually.

But Li Shimin was shocked.

The eyes that were originally drunk and blurred suddenly flickered.

Like a poem is not a poem, a song is not a song, and it is as straightforward as talking to each other casually.

But..... A good friend's philosophy.

He couldn't help murmuring repeatedly in his mouth: "Life is like a tide..."

Repeatedly aftertaste, I only feel that the artistic conception is far away, which makes people feel emotional.

Li Shimin couldn't help looking at Qin Shou, did it really come from his mouth?

This kind of philosophy of life that sees through the world, how can it be realized without decades of life experience and without experiencing the great winds and waves in the world?

But...how old is he?
