The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 632 Li Er began to doubt

In Daming Palace, Li Shimin was very puzzled.

Why didn't the plague of locusts come?

Is the news wrong?Or did the locust kill itself?Or is this result caused by other reasons?It's really puzzling.

So they called Hou Junji and Gao Shilian.

His complexion was very bad.

"Hou Junji, didn't you say that the locust plague is coming? Where did it go? Why didn't I see it! Didn't I hear your report?"

As soon as these words came out, Hou Junji was so frightened that his whole body trembled.

This made him very uncomfortable.

You know, he did everything possible to wait for this opportunity.

But this opportunity was gone at a critical time.

At that moment, he even wondered if Li Yin did it secretly.

But that was a plague of locusts, not ordinary pest damage.

How to do?
There are only three words in his mind.

Facing Li Shimin's questioning, he said:
"This... This minister doesn't know! Maybe it's because of the delay?!"

"I don't know? You say you don't know? Locusts are not human, so why did you delay? Are you sure you are not joking? You are so disappointing, you were not like this before! Hou Junji, Hou Junji! , how can you tell me to trust you again in the future?"

I originally wanted to control the locust plague, but now it seems?The bugs haven't even come, how can he cure them?It feels like a joke!
After a while, Li Shimin didn't say enough.

Then he said:

"Or your news is wrong!? Don't tell me that the locust plague disappeared out of thin air! Don't tell me that kind of lie to children!"

This temper came up directly, and it was getting bigger and bigger.

Facing Li Shimin's anger.

He was frightened.

This is something he didn't expect.

how so!Why is this so.

It's baffling.

It took a long time for Hou Junji to utter a word.

"Let someone take a look at Rong Chen! Don't worry, Your Majesty!"

Do not worry?what to say!Are Hou Junji and Gao Shilian the same thing?Don't you think what you say?

"Look? You guys, I have to take a look at this. It's been two days. Don't you understand it very well? Let me not be in a hurry? You are fine, what have you been doing these days? Daydreaming ?”

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Gao Shilian spoke at this moment.

If he didn't speak again, Hou Junji would be scolded to death.

For Gao Shilian, Li Shimin didn't give him too much good looks because he was the uncle of Empress Changsun.

But Hou Junji was different, because he didn't perform well.

"Calm your anger? If it were you, how would you calm your anger? Tell me!"

Li Shimin asked back.

Gao Shilian was also frightened.

Think about it differently, this is the time, who can calm down?There is a kind of being played like a monkey.How could Li Shimin talk to them well?It's just wishful thinking!
"This...Your Majesty, I have checked. The locust plague is indeed coming to Chang'an. There have been news in the past few days. Wherever they go, the crops are directly devoured by them, and the people along the road are miserable. Regarding this, There was also a report in yesterday's notebook."

Li Shimin didn't say a word, because he didn't comment yesterday.

If Li Yin knew that they were scolded, he must be very happy!The locusts are coming, but when they come, they can't make a difference. It's all because of Li Yin's arrangement.

"If this is the case, is it possible to go to other places? If that's the case, it's not good!"

Li Shimin said suddenly.

On this point, everyone thinks it is possible.

Gao Shilian said first: "It's possible, but we still have to confirm it. Rong Gongchen sent someone to check it out!"

"That's fine, just do it! This matter must be done quickly, don't wait until later, let us misjudge! That would be bad."

Li Shimin's anger subsided slightly.

But I still don't like Hou Junji.

But just as Gao Shilian was about to go out, a guard ran in hastily.

"Report!"

The guard said loudly.

Gao Shilian did not leave.

And listening.

Li Shimin signaled him to say.

"General Cheng ordered the younger one to come into the palace to report that the plague of locusts has been wiped out ten miles to the south of the city!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin was shocked.

"wipe out?"

Looking at the past, I am afraid that no one can say the word eradication of locusts.

But how dare Cheng Yaojin say that?

This is obviously something wrong.

The question is, shouldn't Hou Junji and the others be responsible for this kind of thing?
Why Cheng Yaojin came to report.

This behavior is puzzling.

The two couldn't believe it even more, it wasn't true.

Must be fake news.

But at a time like this, who would spread false news? If you don't want to, you can do it.

But Hou Junji said at this moment: "Your Majesty, General Cheng must have said that on purpose, there must be a plan here!"

Gao Shilian followed up and said, "That's right, how can you say the word "elimination" so simply?"

The two just couldn't believe it.

In addition, it was Cheng Yaojin who said it, so they didn't believe it even more.

Cheng Yaojin had beaten two of them before.

Now, he exists again.

At the same time, Hou Junji said, "The Sixth Prince must have ordered General Cheng to do this. What exactly is he trying to do?"

Li Shimin obviously didn't care about what the two said.

On the contrary, he said: "Go, I want to go and see!"

Seeing is believing.

But Hou Junji said: "Your Majesty, let's forget about this? If there is really a plague of locusts outside, it will be very dangerous!"

The plague of locusts appears in units of hundreds of millions. If people are surrounded by them, they may be scratched or something.

Therefore, Hou Junji wanted to stop Li Shimin.

But in Li Shimin's opinion, his blocking seemed to be a guilty conscience.

in turn.He said: "Look at what good things you have done! So many talents and financial resources have been mobilized, but in the end, nothing can be used! Your methods have disappointed me so much!"

The locust plague that was supposed to come disappeared on the day it arrived.

Why is Li Shimin not angry?

In addition, during this period of time, just digging a hole took up a lot of land, cost a lot of money, and used a lot of talents.

There are a lot of people from the court alone, and these are all costs.

At the same time, it was only because of some words of Hou Junji.

In contrast, Li Shimin even began to suspect that the reason why the locust plague disappeared was because of Li Yin.

why.

First, Li Yin published a newspaper in such a high-profile manner, saying that he could handle locusts.Must have thought about what to do!

Second, let Cheng Yaojin send someone to report, explaining that Cheng Yaojin must have been there at the time.

I just don't know why people would come into the palace to report?
Is it just to show off your abilities?
Or because of some people?
All of this is unknown.

At this time, Li Shimin wanted to know what happened.

So, no matter what, he had to go and have a look. He wanted to know what method Li Yin used to kill all these locusts.

So he got up.

"Show me the car, go to the south of the city!"

He didn't allow any doubts, and went directly to the south of the city.
