It is not easy to be a monk in the Tang Dynasty

The so-called blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes never come singly. When people face difficulties, there will be more tribulations waiting in front of them. Others say that poor and lowly couples are always sad. This is a typical example.

Now, Li Chengqian also has this feeling!

The food was destroyed in the cottage, which made his ideas completely useless, and he was already very irritable, but what happened today made him understand a truth, there is no worst thing in this world, only worse!

It's okay to be woken up by the hot-tempered state officials early in the morning. After all, it's not a big deal even if I haven't had a good rest when I'm still young. But why did he say something that would make things worse for him?

The plague of locusts is raging!

As early as during the severe drought, someone reminded himself that Li Chengqian also knew that there would be locust plagues every year of severe drought. A few days ago, someone also said that the number of locusts in some places was increasing, but he did not expect that this would be short. In just a few days, the pest infestation has become so serious!

The entire Jiangnan Road, not just Suzhou, but Changzhou, Huzhou, Hangzhou and other places have been involved in this locust disaster!

Those nasty bugs waved their paws and opened their mouths to chew continuously, bringing disaster to the already depleted crops!No one can stop their aggression, and the entire south of the Yangtze River is caught in a tug-of-war between humans and insects, ending with human beings retreating steadily.

Now the whole Jiangnan Taoist people are in a panic, people can't live a normal life, and there are discussions all day long.In conjunction with this locust plague, there is also the speech that came out of nowhere. The content is nothing more than that the fate of the Tang Dynasty is approaching, and the punishment from the sky is coming. .

In ancient times, whenever a disaster occurred, people would think that the lord of the country’s misbehavior caused God’s wrath. In this regard, most emperors would choose to write a letter of guilt for the world, expressing their reflection on their actions and hoping that God will exempt them from punishment , whether it is a sincere confession or false affection, most of them will make a fuss.

However, now Li Shimin feels that he has been wronged. Since he came to power, he has been conscientious and diligent in dealing with political affairs. He asked himself that he had not done anything that would anger the sky. Li Shimin is a wise monarch, but also a confident Even a narcissistic monarch, when he thinks he is not at fault, will not do these things that damage his reputation, and he is not afraid of the spittle of those court scholars and Qingliu.

However, this really hurt Li Chengqian.

In the south of the Yangtze River, it has been widely circulated that the imperial court offended the heavens, but Li Shimin's attitude was very tough, so the people were angry. As a king, his people suffered such a big loss because of you, but you Not even an attitude of admitting mistakes, which is really disappointing and annoying!

People wrapped in despair wanted to vent their dissatisfaction and panic, so Li Chengqian, who was staying in Suzhou at the moment, became their target, and the majestic Tang prince became a mouse crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beat him.It is very doubtful whether there is a pusher in it.But no matter what, Li Chengqian really felt the feeling of being spurned and suspected! This really made him a little bit unbearable.

Li Chengqian buried his head deeply in his arms, and was very distressed. What should he do? There were several locust plagues in the past. At that time, people had no effective way, and could only wait until they subsided naturally. The process is very, but it can only be so.

Locust plagues generally occur in summer, because the breeding season of locusts is in this season. Once autumn comes, locusts will disappear. There is a saying that after autumn, grasshoppers can only jump for a few days, and their lives are so long Time, but it is only the beginning of May, and there are still a few months until autumn, when the day lily will be cold!

"Brother Gao Ming, let's go out and have a look. We can't figure out a solution if we stay in this mansion. Why don't we go out for a walk, maybe we can come up with a solution."

Zhang Yang has had a hard time these few days, without it, His Royal Highness is in a bad mood, and the people below are naturally tense, seeing a group of people appearing in front of him with nervous expressions and dull faces every day, it's no wonder they are in a good mood!Besides, seeing Li Chengqian like this, he was still a little worried, so it would be good to let him go out to relax.

They disguised themselves and went out. If they didn't make publicity, they would have to be implicated by Li Chengqian. At this time, there might be someone staring at the governor's mansion. Be careful in everything.

Even so, there are still many guards hidden behind, and no accidents are allowed at this time. If something bad happened to Prince Li Chengqian here, the consequences would be unimaginable. Here, he is the expression and symbol of the court! It is the backbone of the army and the people. If even the crown prince of a country is hurt, people will lose confidence in this place even more. Now many people have migrated to the north. This situation cannot continue.

When he came outside, the huge city of Suzhou could no longer see any glamorous appearance, and it felt lifeless. Li Chengqian was not in high spirits, so Zhang Yang decided to take him to the fields to have a look. Only then can we find a solution!

"The prince really wants to burn these things to death!"

Li Chengqian stared at the bare fields, where there were still some remnants of fresh crops, and the locusts passed through, and there was nothing left.

Zhang Yang accompanied Li Chengqian to mourn in silence. Setting fire is definitely not an option. Those locusts will not be foolishly waiting to be burned to death. They have wings and can fly!And now the sky is dry and dry, a big fire is likely to form a sea of ​​​​flames, and it would be very difficult to extinguish it at that time. Fortunately, when I was in the cottage, the food was stored alone and there were no vegetation around it, otherwise the Yunhua Mountain is probably already an empty mountain.

"How do we get rid of these damn things?"

Li Chengqian turned to ask Zhang Yang, he was just complaining, he didn't hope to find an answer from Zhang Yang, after all, there was no effective solution to this problem for thousands of years, he believed in Zhang Yang, and had seen him They created some miracles, but Li Chengqian would not believe that Zhang Yang could solve this problem. After he finished speaking, he went to see the farmland that was devastated by locusts.

Yes, what can I do?Zhang Yang himself was also asking himself, now, he is not trying to find a way for Li Chengqian because he wants to find his family, but he is also very anxious.

Zhang Yang shook his head and squinted his eyes. He has always had a chivalrous heart, and it has always been his ideal to serve the people. He wants to dedicate his strength to the suffering people, that's all!
