Chapter 9 Wei Zheng, a master of death, rewards the Taoist priest [please recommend tickets for collection]

Tai Chi Palace.

Li Shimin was furious in the palace, furious.

The plague of locusts is imminent, and Li Jing has led troops to attack the invading Turks, repeatedly asking for food and grass.

If the locust plague is not resolved and the food crops are cut off, even if Li Jing is a military god, he will not be able to stop the Turks this time.

Internal and external troubles.

Li Shimin was naturally very angry.

But what angered him the most was that some people linked this incident with the Xuanwumen Incident.

To put it bluntly, it was because he trapped his father and killed his brother to seize the throne, and he came from a wrong way, which attracted the anger of heaven and the people.

Li Shimin threw many memorials in front of the officials and scolded: "Zhang Liang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, I order you to immediately arrest those who spread rumors."

Zhang Liang hadn't opened his mouth yet, Wei Zheng, a young expert at death, came out and said, "Your Majesty, it must not be done, the mouth of the people is better than that of Fangchuan."

Li Shimin's cheeks twitched, and he said angrily, "Wei Xiang, are we going to let them spread rumors and smear my Tang royal family?"

Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty is not afraid of the shadow slanting."

Li Shimin was so angry that his hands were trembling, it was because his body was not straight that he was afraid of the shadow slanting.

Several times he has moved to kill.

Wei Zheng continued: "I feel that the most urgent task is to solve the locust plague. His Royal Highness, the prince's porridge outside the city, has become a good talk. We should take it as a publicity, and help the prince secretly to let the world know that my Tang Dynasty has always been in good hands. They all support the people."

"Afterwards, let the victims who are full of food and drink go to the fertile fields outside the city to catch locusts. It is best to set a reward, how many catties of locusts are caught, and how much rice or money will be rewarded."

Li Shimin wanted to be angry, but Wei Zheng's proposal made him very satisfied.

The ministers also nodded frequently.

This is a rare proposal in recent days.

The only person who was in trouble was Sun Shunde, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, "Your Majesty, my lords, the Ministry of Household Affairs has no food and money in storage, and it is simply unable to support the victims in catching insects."

Li Shimin said angrily, "Where did they all go?"

Changsun Shunde said: "Your Majesty, there are plans for the accounts, and the rest are used by you to fight back against the Turks."

Li Shimin was extremely angry, and finally came up with a feasible strategy, but in the end, because of lack of money and food, he was about to run aground.

Next.

The ministers continued to quarrel, led by Wei Zheng and others, asking various departments to raise money and grain; those headed by Changsun Shunde directly put it badly, showing that they had no money.

Harem.

When Li Shimin came back, he threw his hat in anger.

"I'm so pissed off, those old men can only quarrel, and they can't solve the important affairs of the country at all."

The queen came out from the back hall and brought a bowl of sugar water for Li Shimin to drink.

Li Shimin drank sugar water, looked at the queen's attire, and asked in confusion, "Guanyin maidservant, why are you in folk attire?"

Without saying a word, the queen came directly to Li Shimin and made a big gift.

Li Shimin was so frightened that he hurried up to help him, "Guanyin maidservant, why are you here?"

The queen smiled and said: "I want to congratulate Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty."

Li Shimin said: "Don't worry, Guanyin Maid, there is no need to repeat the old story, I will not kill Wei Zheng and the others."

The queen shook her head and said: "What I said was not about this, but that I found a solution to the locust problem, and also found a capable person for Your Majesty."

How clever Li Shimin was, he said in his heart, "Did you go to Hualong Temple?"

"Yes!"

The queen admitted directly, with a smile on her face, "The Taoist priest Wugou is really a master in the world."

Li Shimin became interested, helped her up and sat down, and hurriedly said: "What kind of ability does this person have, isn't it just playing tricks?"

In fact, he had already sent someone to investigate Su Chen, and had almost gone through all of Su Chen's past.

That is an ordinary little Taoist priest. His master has passed away. It is said that his strength is not as strong as the fourth level of martial arts, because he has kept his filial piety for three years, otherwise his Taoist temple will be taken back.

Ordinary, unremarkable.

But recently, it has been very effective in resolving the lottery, and it has a good reputation.

Li Shimin was also a little puzzled, how can a person who doesn't even have true energy manage to predict things like a god and turn calamity with iron mouth? !
The queen said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Taoist Priest Wugou has real abilities, and he is definitely not playing tricks."

Afterwards, he told all the things that happened to him on Hualong Temple.

"what!?"

"Locusts are not a natural disaster, but a gift from God?!"

"Can you eat it?!"

Li Shimin was stunned, his eyes glazed over, and he couldn't believe it.

As soon as the queen waved her hand, the old eunuch Wuji immediately brought a plate with several plates of locusts in it, some were boiled, some were fried, and some were fried.

She ate one first, and Li Shimin was so frightened that she wanted to stop it, but seeing the queen ate it, she was not only fine, but also enjoying it.

He was stunned.

At the same time, hope flashed in his eyes.

He quickly grabbed a locust, threw it into his mouth without hesitation, chewed it a few times, and then swallowed it.

next moment.

Li Shimin had tears in his eyes!
Afterwards, he burst out laughing, "Hahaha, good good good good good good good good good good good. God is sorry to see you. My ancestors bless you. The natural disaster is a gift from God. Ha ha, it's great, it's great!"

Then he picked up a few more and ate them, "Guanyin maidservant, you have done a great service."

The queen laughed and said: "It's not the concubine who made the meritorious service, but the Taoist priest Wugou who made the great service."

Li Shimin nodded, "That's right, it's a godsend for him to be able to calculate this, and he can also suggest that we take the lead and make the world follow. It can be seen that besides being able to pinch and calculate, he is also a rare man of governance!"

He stroked his beard and was very satisfied, "It's a reward."

"What should I reward him? Why don't you give him that reward and never take it back."

The queen nodded, "It should be, but it's not enough."

Li Shimin nodded, but he also had some doubts in his heart. The queen seemed extremely excited today.

When she was wondering, the queen ordered someone to bring a plate, and when she opened it, it was an ear of rice.

"This is an ear of rice. Well, under the ravages of locusts, there are still such vigorously growing ears of rice. Who is the expert in planting!?"

The queen laughed without saying a word.

Li Shimin asked in surprise: "Could it be Taoist Wugou again?"

The queen said: "Your Majesty, it is him. However, you misunderstood, this is not an ordinary ear of rice."

Li Shimin picked it up and studied it carefully, and he found something abnormal. He said in surprise: "The grains are full, larger than the ordinary rice grains in the field, and there are more than ten times more rice grains in one ear of rice than ordinary rice grains."

He widened his eyes, "Why?"

The queen said: "Daoist Wugou planted sacred rice in the farmland. The rice grains contain weak spiritual power. Taking it can increase the power. Moreover, the yield per mu is more than [-] catties."

hiss!
"What did you say!?"

Li Shimin stood up in shock, his eyes widened in disbelief.

Even the overreaction alarmed the eunuchs and guards outside the door, and hurriedly probed in to check.

Seeing that the husband and wife were staring at each other, they hurried back to their seats.

"Guanyin maidservant, are you reading correctly?" Li Shimin said excitedly.

The queen said: "The commander of the guards reported that his family has three slopes of farmland, and he used to be a farmer. He knows this very well, and there is no falsehood."

Li Shimin got up and paced in the hall, his hands trembling with excitement.

"Hahaha!"

"Okay, okay, God help me Datang, God help me Datang!"

The queen said: "Erlang, the matter is not that simple, this is a divine object, I'm afraid Taoist Wugou will not give it lightly."

Li Shimin instinctively wanted to say, grab it if you don't give it.

But he held back, weighed it for a moment, and said: "This is a rare talent, and he has a shocking genius. If you snatch it rashly and become an enemy, it will be a loss to Datang."

The queen nodded repeatedly.

Li Shimin said: "If I ask him to give it or buy it, will he be willing?"

The queen said: "This time the concubine went there in person, but he didn't mention it, so he didn't want to be happy. Maybe, he grew something for himself."

Li Shimin's eyes flickered, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I want to visit him in person, and I will understand it with emotion. He is a master outside the world, and he certainly won't bear the world's hunger."

The queen nodded repeatedly, and said: "Your Majesty, please don't go immediately, he refuses to give it, maybe he wants to see if we have the heart for the world."

"The servant girl Guanyin said that he wants to see how we deal with the natural disaster in front of us? Perhaps, he wants to test us?!"

The queen nodded again and again, and the more Li Shimin thought about it, the more likely it was.

Experts in the world definitely don't care about vulgar things, but they didn't give the queen this fetish, and they didn't even mention it, so they definitely won't give it for the time being.

Now that Li Shimin is gone, it will not change.

Something must be done!
"Wuji, pass on my order, I want to reward Taoist Priest Wugou. Also, pass on the order immediately, my family will eat locusts, this is a gift from God!"
