Datang: Starting from a fortune-telling stall, Wu Zetian was suddenly abducted

Chapter 59 Under the Rewards, There Will Be Brave Men
The eldest grandson looked at Li Shimin and said, "Second brother, who saved me? Tell me, and I will thank him face to face."

Li Shimin then turned to look at her on the bed.
"It's Daoist Wuwei, the one from Huayin County."

"I went to ask him to tell your fortune. Unexpectedly, he moved God and gave him a life-creating elixir. This elixir can bring life to the bones of the dead."

After saying that, he waved to the other people in the hall and motioned them to go out. Then he sat next to Changsun and told her about his fortune-telling in Beiming Mountain in an emotional voice.

After listening to this, the eldest grandson was filled with emotion and asked:

"I didn't expect that there would be such a big commotion because of me alone. I really feel a little sorry."

"When I recover, I must thank Taoist Priest Yuan Shouwei; eat fasting and chant Buddha's name to thank God and the people."

"Well, I would also like to thank Second Brother. Without Second Brother, my life would definitely not be saved."

Li Shimin looked at his eldest grandson's fair face and said:
"They're all old couples, why are you thanking me?"

"For you, it doesn't matter if I risk my life."

The eldest grandson knows his character and believes that he can really do this for himself.

moved and said:
"Second brother, I can do this for you."

"By the way, is there only one elixir? Have you asked Cheng Qian for one?"

Li Shimin froze for a moment, shook his head and said:

"I forgot."

"But it's not necessary. His illness is due to his tiredness. The imperial doctor can treat him. There is no need to waste the pill."

The eldest grandson also understood at this moment, smiled and said:
"I think too much."

"Second brother, help me up, let me change my clothes, and let's go see Cheng Qian."

Li Shimin shook his head repeatedly.
"No, no."

"You have just been cured of this disease, so you have to rest slowly."

"I'll stay with you for a while, and I'll go see him myself later."

The eldest grandson was solemn several times, but was pressed down by Li Shimin, so he could only smile weakly and say:
"Then you go, second brother."

"My body is definitely fine."

"But I'm really worried about Cheng Qian. You go now and come back after reading it to tell me about his recovery."

Li Shimin couldn't hold back the eldest grandson, so he reluctantly agreed, told her to rest well, and let Wu Yan take care of her here, and then left with peace of mind.

When we arrived in the countryside, we saw that there were more and more locusts, but there were very few people who exterminated the locusts, and they were basically people from the government.

He shook his head and sighed, and slowly began to plan the next step in his mind. By the time he arrived at Li Chengqian's military camp, he already had detailed ideas in his mind.

When he arrived outside the tent, the soldier guarding the door was about to salute. He was afraid of disturbing Li Chengqian's rest, so he waved his hand to stop him and entered the tent through the door.

Just look at Li Chengqian lying on the hospital bed, holding a piece of paper in his hand, his face solemn.

After hearing the sound, he looked up and saw that it was Li Shimin, and he quickly stood up. Li Shimin said: "Chengqian, you haven't recovered yet, so don't salute." Li Chengqian then gave up.

Then Li Shimin said to him with a smile on his face:
"Chengqian, let me tell you the good news. Your mother is cured of her illness."

At the end, I added another sentence,
"It's completely fine."

After hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised and asked repeatedly:
"Great, great."

"Which miracle doctor cured it?"

Li Shimin shook his head and said:
"You know this person, not a miracle doctor."

"It's Taoist Priest Wuwei from Huayin County."

"He prayed to God and received a life-creating elixir that could revive the bones of the dead."

Then he told Li Chengqian what happened.

Li Chengqian was very excited after hearing this.

He sighed: "I wish I could witness this miracle with my father."

Li Shimin said with a smile: "What is a miracle? The most important thing is to save your mother."

Li Chengqian nodded in agreement, and then happily said:
"Father, since my mother is fine and my body is recovering, I think those rumors will soon be disproven." Li Shimin's face turned cold after hearing this.

"Self-defeating?"

"I wouldn't take them so cheaply."

"Son, haven't you eaten locusts? What does it taste like?"

Li Chengqian didn't know why he asked this question.
But he still answered honestly: "It tastes a bit like chicken, and Yuan Shouwei is a good cook, I think it's quite delicious."

"Have you ever eaten raw?" Li Shimin then asked.

"No." Li Chengqian replied: "However, looking at that look is indeed a bit hard to swallow."

"In order to fight against the locust god, are you willing to eat it?" Li Shimin asked again.

After hearing this, Li Chengqian immediately became energetic,

"no problem."

"As long as this unwarranted locust god can be destroyed, I will have no problem eating locusts every day."

"Father, why do you ask this?"

Li Shimin said: "My father wants to fight this locust god to see who is more powerful, the locust god, or my father, the real dragon. You just need to be prepared first."

Li Chengqian's blood boiled when he heard it, and he immediately agreed.

Li Shimin asked the imperial doctor to check his body again, and after confirming that he had recovered a lot, he left the barracks and returned to Chang'an City.

When he returned to the palace, he immediately started deployment.

First, Guo Xiaoke was called over. After asking about the arrests, he was asked not to execute these people for the time being and to continue digging deeper.

Then a small court meeting was held in Zichen Hall to start planning the next step of locust extermination work.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui continued the work of exterminating locusts. Considering the current panic, they only needed to do basic locust extermination work; however, the price of purchasing locusts was doubled to encourage people to exterminate locusts.

The Ministry of Rites publicized the appearance of the real dragon and said that the queen and the prince had recovered;

The Ministry of Household Affairs issued orders to various places to start disaster relief.Except for various war zones and Hou Junji who is conquering Gaochang, the military supplies are normally supplied.

In other places, only half a year's surplus grain can be kept; and grain transfers will begin from the south to the worst-hit areas in the north.

As the Ministry of Rites begins to prepare for the ceremony, he will conduct a grand ceremony, but the specific date is yet to be determined.

The important ministers who participated in the Xiaochao meeting were all Li Shimin's confidants, and they followed him along the way and established the glory of the Tang Dynasty.

He knows Li Shimin's character well.

At this moment, looking at Li Shimin's methodical deployment, and not allowing others to express any opinions, I knew that he was preparing to declare war with the Locust God, so naturally everyone should perform their duties.

When everything is arranged properly, everyone will leave.

Li Shimin also stood up, stretched, and walked steadily towards Qingning Palace.

Seeing that the eldest grandson was able to get up and move around, and after drinking half a bowl of millet porridge, he felt even better, so he stayed in Qingning Palace that night.

The next day, after the court meeting.

He secretly went to Beiming Mountain to meet Yuan Shouwei once more, but only the two of them knew what he said.

And the huge empire of the Tang Dynasty slowly but surely began to operate after he made arrangements.

The locust plague is still spreading, but due to proper handling and timely distribution of food, there are no reports of people starving to death, let alone rebellion.

There must be brave men under the heavy rewards, and the number of people catching locusts from all over the country is slowly increasing.

Because of Guo Xiaoke's strong suppression of rumors in Chang'an City, coupled with the Ministry of Rites' vigorous promotion of Li Shimin's real dragon, the rumors are gradually decreasing.

Busy days always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, ten days have passed.

At this time, Empress Changsun and Li Chengqian had fully recovered.

Li Shimin also immediately ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare for a sacrificial ceremony in the countryside outside Chang'an City tomorrow.
