In the second year of Zhenguan, the capital was drought and locusts rose.

Taizong entered the garden to look at the grains, saw locusts, cut a few, and

cursed: "People take the grain for their life, and if you eat it, it is

harmful to the people. The people have had it, but if you give it to one

person, you will have spirits, but you should eat me. The heart is harmless to

the people." He swallowed it, remonstrating left and right: "I am afraid of

becoming a disease, no." Taizong said: "If I want to move the disaster, how

can I avoid it?" Then he swallowed it. Since the locusts are no longer

plagued.

This is the very famous piece of Taizong swallowing locusts in history,

recorded in "zhenguan political leaders"!

Tang Taizong's "swallowing locusts" may be born out of true feelings, may be

acting for people to see, or both. But one thing must be affirmed: if he does

not understand the situation and does not understand the disasters locusts

bring to the people; if he regards the people like grass and does not

understand the pity and fear of the people, I am afraid there will be no

"swallowing locusts". For example, maybe there will be "why not eat meat"

jokes!

Stars shift and world events are changing. Today, in Datang, Li Zexuan is

awake in advance, and the court has made a lot of preparations for the locust

plague. It seems that the overwhelming locust plague is not impossible to

eliminate, but Li Er still chooses to devour it in front of the civil and

military officials at this time. The purpose of the locust is also very clear.

It is to be seen by the civil and military of the Manchu and the people of the

world. Only in this way can the people of the world completely put down their

fear of locusts and work together to eradicate them!

Although understanding Li Er's good intentions, but understanding is due to

understanding, let Li Zexuan go to swallow the locusts, Li Zexuan can only say

"the concubine can't do it"!

If this thing is deep-fried, it will taste better, but if it is eaten raw, it

will be too disgusting!

But is it okay to not eat it?

Look, Fang Xuanling is now nearly fifty years old, and he has personally gone

down to the fields to find locusts; and Wei Penzi is so upright and not afraid

of power. At this time, he also grabbed a locust and fed it into his mouth. ?

Let’s take a look at Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde and many other generals. They

flew sideways in the wheat field with their light skills. The purpose was to

find a locust. It was not that they wanted to show off their light skills, but

because of the fields. The locusts have been almost cleaned up by the Tianji

brigade. It is not easy to find a surviving locust!

Poor the locusts in the ground. Just a quarter of an hour ago, they managed to

escape from the Tianji brigade, but now they have to be hunted down by the

powerful military commanders. To blame, I can only blame the locust that flew

on Li Er. If it weren't for it, it wouldn't cause a wave of extinction!

Seeing that all civil and military officials were secretly looking for locusts

and stuffing them into their belly to show their loyalty. Li Zexuan seemed

very abrupt when standing still. In order to prevent himself from appearing so

abrupt, Li Zexuan had to join the hunter and swallow locusts. Great army!

"Uh, Wocao! How about such a coincidence?"

Just when Li Zexuan searched for a long time and couldn't find a locust

because he could escape the catastrophe, a silly grasshopper flew up from the

wheat field without warning and landed on his head.

"Hey hey! Yonganhou, hurry up, there is a locust on your head! Don't let it

run away!"

Wei Zheng seemed to have discovered the New World, pointed at Li Zexuan's

forehead, and said excitedly.

"Thank you Wei Zuocheng for your reminder!"

Li Zexuan's face was full of black lines. He wanted to quietly throw away the

grasshopper on his head, but when Wei Tanzi yelled at him with a loud voice,

he had no chance to engage in small actions, so he had to grab the grasshopper

on his head. In his hand, he arched his hand towards Wei Zheng and said

dullly.

Wei Zheng laughed and said: "Hou Yong'an is really a man of great fortune. I

have to work hard to find a locust, and Hou Yongan just needs to wait for the

locust to be delivered to the door automatically, which is so enviable!"

Li Zexuan couldn't help but spit out in his heart: "Give me luck, I will be

** off by you sooner or later! If this is also luck, I would rather not!"

Standing in place, holding the locust in his hand, Li Zexuan was a little

speechless when Wei Zheng was choked. At this time, he swept his eyes

inadvertently and found dozens of ministers plus Li Er, all looking at him

with scorching eyes. Looking at the locust in his hand, what he wanted to

express is self-evident!

"Uh..."

Li Zexuan was a little dumbfounded. These ministers who had eaten locusts and

Li Er didn't want to "let go" him! As for...

"Hou Yongan, what are you still hesitating? Your majesty can swallow locusts

for the people of the world, why can't you? Are you more refined than your

majesty?"

Qiu Xinggong took the opportunity to say nourishingly at this moment.

This guy just ate two grasshoppers without blinking, he is really a cruel man!

Cheng Yaojin's brows twitched, and he wanted to come out and help Li Zexuan to

say something, but was held back by Qin Qiong, because at this time, Li Zexuan

had no choice!

"Huh! When Benhou lived in the mountains and forests with his master in the

early years, he even gnawed the bark. There are so many locusts, why are you

so good?"

Li Zexuan also knew that the locust must be eaten today, otherwise he was

openly slapping Li Er in the face, so he snorted to Qiu Xinggong, blew a good

word, then closed his eyes and opened his mouth, and the locust went into his

mouth. Plug, the cheeks stirred three or two times, and a wild locust fell

into the stomach.

Forcefully holding back Gu Qianwang who wanted to vomit, Li Zexuan gave Qiu

Xinggong a provocative look, but said nothing!

But today's Liangzi is finished. Although Qiu Xinggong has a fierce reputation

in the history books, he is really going to provoke Li Zexuan, and Li Zexuan

will definitely not wait to die!

"Your Majesty, for the sake of the people of Li, regardless of the safety of

the dragon, swallowing locusts. This move will not only touch the people, but

will also be remembered in history and become a model for future emperors!

Tomorrow’s "Datang Daily" will definitely show your majesty’s love for the

people today. Propagate the world, so that everyone in the world can feel the

care of your majesty, and at the same time, it can also call on all people to

work together to catch locusts!"

After a pause, Li Zexuan arched his hands towards Li Er.

Hearing that Li Zexuan would publish his act of swallowing locusts today in

the newspaper, Li Er could not help but praise Li Zexuan as sensible in his

heart, but he said calmly on his face:

"Today swallowing locusts is nothing more than my righteous indignation after

seeing locusts damaging the crops! It's not enough for all people!"

After all, Li Er saw that the civil and military officials almost "eat" the

locusts, waved his sleeves and said, "This is the end of today's noon! The

ministers and workers will immediately return to Chang'an, and then perform

their duties. Mobilize the people in the disaster-stricken areas to fight

locusts and prevent a large number of refugees!"

"The ministers will follow the order!"

The officials gave their orders one after another, and then returned to

Chang'an on horseback.

Li Zexuan lived in Lantian County and had nothing to do in Chang'an, so he

didn't leave with him. Instead, he planned to go directly to Wangjiazhuang to

see the locust eradication process of Tianji Brigade.

But Li Er stopped him: "Yong'anhou, you walk around with me!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Li Zexuan promised.

"Where is Tianji Brigade now?"

Li Er asked at this time.

"Your Majesty, in Wangjiazhuang to the west of Yunshan!"

"Okay! Then go to Wangjiazhuang!"

As a result, the two raised their feet and walked towards Wangjiazhuang,

followed by dozens of forbidden troops, as well as generals such as Cheng

Yaojin and Qin Qiong.

Because the control of locust plagues is the strength of the civilian

officials, and these generals can't help much even if they return.

Two quarters later, this small group of people came to the edge of the

farmland outside Wangjiazhuang. What they saw were all densely packed

chickens, as well as the farmers and children driving the chickens.

"Cuckoo~Cuckoo!"

Those children eventually made a special frequency of "cooing" from time to

time. The strange thing is that the chickens behind them heard this "cooing"

sound, and followed the children very obediently, then flapped their wings and

crooked. Pounced crookedly into the farmland full of locusts. There were about

four to five thousand chickens in a group of chickens. It only took more than

ten breaths to clear an acre of farmland, and then led the children’s

"command" Next, he plunged into another acre of farmland!

This looks like a general, commanding thousands of troops and horses, quite

spectacular!

Li Er, Cheng Yaojin and others were dumbfounded at this spectacle.

"Xiaoxuan, do these dolls really know how to train chickens?"

Cheng Yaojin stared, somewhat inconceivable.

Li Zexuan smiled and said, "That's natural. In the courtroom earlier, my

nephew didn't brag to your majesty and your uncles!"

Niu Jinda asked, "Xiaoxuan, where did they learn their chicken training

skills? Didn't they learn it from you?"

Because in Niu Jinda's opinion, Li Zexuan has a lot of weird abilities, that's

why he guessed it.

Li Zexuan hurriedly said: "Uncle Niu, where does my nephew have these skills?

To be honest, in the spring of last year, my nephew found a pair of elder

brothers and sisters in Hanjiazhuang, who were withdrawn and kept with the

chickens raised at home. My sister and brother were able to let the chickens

follow them. At that time, my nephew had the idea to let all the children in

Zhuangzi learn this skill from them. After they learned it and passed the

examination, they could get the reward! No, now Hanjiazhuang and Meicun’s

Basically, children can train chickens!"

Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but happily said: "Hey! It's Xiaoxuan, you have

more ideas! Back then, if you didn't let these dolls learn this, now even if

you have 150,000 chickens, you can't take the locusts on Zhuangzi so quickly.

All gone!"

Li Er nodded and said, "Zhijie is right! Without these children, you would

have 150,000 chickens in Yonganhou, just a group of headless flies flying

around. It is impossible to exert such efficient action. What I want is, after

all the locusts in Lantian County are wiped out, can your chicken brigade be

transferred to other states and counties to eliminate locusts this day?"

Li Zexuan arched his hands and said, "Even if your majesty doesn't say it, the

ministers have this intention! Not only that, Yanhuang Academy has been

completely closed. Students are now in various villages, mobilizing villagers

to drive away chickens and go down to the fields to hunt down locusts! Wait

for the locusts in Lantian County. After being basically cleaned up, the

ministers will immediately take the Tianji brigade and the students from the

college to the neighboring disaster-stricken states and counties!"

"Well! I am very pleased to have this idea!"

Li Er nodded and said.

"Xiaoxuan, the Cheng family still has more than 20,000 chickens. After the

locusts on the Chengjiazhuang Village are cleaned up tomorrow, the old lady

will send the chickens to Lantian County and come to your chicken brigade!"

Cheng Yaojin said at this time.

The old Cheng family has a total of more than 5,000 acres of fertile land.

Even if the locust eradication efficiency of the more than 20,000 chickens is

not as high as that of the Tianji brigade, one day is completely enough.

Li Zexuan clasped his fist and said, "Then thank Uncle Cheng!"

Qin Qiong also said at this time: "Xiaoxuan, there are about 15,000 chickens

in the Qin family, and I will come to you at that time!"

Yuchi Jingde: "The Yuchi family has 13,000..."

Niu Jinda: "The Niu Family has 14,000..."

Li Jing: "The old man's house only has 8,000, and they will all be delivered

to you at Xiaoxuan!"

These were the ones who followed the trend of Li Zexuan and raised so many

chickens. Now that they see that Li Zexuan has so many children who know how

to train chickens, they don't hesitate to send all the chickens raised in

their own captivity!

Hearing this, Li Zexuan quickly thanked him one by one, after all, at this

time, he wouldn't think there were too many chickens!

Li Er pondered for a moment, and said: "There are probably nearly 30,000

chickens in the royal village. I will send someone to you tomorrow too!"

Li Zexuan said with joy: "Thank you, Your Majesty! In this way, we will be

able to collect 220,000 chickens. Then the minister will borrow some chickens

from the farmers in Lantian County, and the Tianji brigade may have nearly

300,000 chickens. , The number has doubled, and the speed of eradicating

locusts will also double!"

Li Er sighed, and said, "It's my fault that I didn't fully believe your

predictions, otherwise I will build a Tianji brigade of millions of chickens,

and now I can quickly clean up the disaster-stricken states and counties!"

Having said that, Li Er shook his head and left with a group of guards.

Qin Qiong and others talked to Li Zexuan and followed Li Er.

Cheng Yaojin deliberately fell behind a few steps, and whispered to Li Zexuan:

"Xiaoxuan, Qiu Xinggong, you have to be more careful in the future. This old

guy is too utilitarian and wants to be loyal to your Majesty, and this person

is cruel. But be careful!"

Li Zexuan nodded and said: "Uncle Cheng can rest assured that my nephew will

not take the initiative to provoke him! Besides, my nephew has nothing to do

with him on weekdays, even if he wants to find fault, there is nowhere to look

for it!"

Cheng Yaojin shook his head and said, "Xiaoxuan, you are wrong about this!

Have you forgotten that your Majesty just appointed you to join the army as a

record of the Xuanjia Army a few days ago?"

Li Zexuan said strangely: "Uncle Cheng~www.mtlnovel.com~ of course my nephew

did not forget!"

Suddenly he realized that something was wrong, and quickly asked: "Uncle

Cheng, is it possible that Qiu Xinggong is also in the Xuan Jia army?"

Cheng Yaojin sighed and nodded: "Yes! Both Qiu Xinggong and Duan Zhixuan are

the first generals in the Xuan Jia army, but Duan Zhixuan is more important to

your Majesty, so Duan Zhixuan is now the commander of the Xuan Jia army. And

Qiu Xinggong is only the deputy commander! So if you record and join the army,

you will have to deal with Qiu Xinggong in the future!"

Li Zexuan was stunned, and secretly said that this is really Yuanjia Luzhai,

this has not been reported by the Xuanjia Army, and he has formed a beam with

the second in command of the Xuanjia Army. What will happen in the future?

"Uh...Uncle Cheng! My nephew has resigned this errand from your Majesty now,

is it too late?"

Li Zexuan said madly.

Cheng Yaojin widened his eyes and said annoyed: "What's your resignation?

Isn't your kid still afraid that Qiu Xing will not be respectful? Don't worry,

my old Cheng has long seen that old guy is not pleasing to his eyes. If he

deliberately troubles you, old man Just go to the Xuanjia Army to find him and

beat him fiercely! And second brother Qin will not stand by. Duan Zhixuan has

a good relationship with the second brother Qin. As long as you don't take the

initiative to make mistakes in the Xuanjia Army, Qiu Xinggong will definitely

not Dare to move you! Even if you make a mistake, the old man and the second

brother Qin will support you behind!"

Li Zexuan couldn't help but feel a little moved when he heard the words, he

clasped his fist and said, "Thank you Uncle Cheng!"

Lao Cheng patted Li Zexuan on the shoulder and laughed: "Hey! Why do the

family talk to each other? I heard that Xiaoxuan also has a bicycle called an

electric bicycle in your workshop. Someday let the old man try it out?"
