Chapter 51 Chicken and Duck General? (Please collect, please recommend!!!)
"Your Majesty, hurry up!" Fang Xuanling was impatient, "The people in the pass can't afford to wait!"

"Be safe and don't be impatient, Xuanling." Li Shimin said with a slightly reproachful tone: "You are not so restless."

Fang Xuanling knew she had lost her composure, and was about to admit her mistake.

But he heard a eunuch coming in from outside the Imperial Study Room to announce that it was the ministers who had received the news and wanted to go to the court to ask for an audience.

"Xuan!" Li Shimin nodded indifferently, and said to the three ministers in front of him: "Come to the hall with me, and I will announce this matter when I go to the hall."

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at each other and remained silent.

His Majesty had issued an edict of sin before, and he was somewhat unhappy in his heart. Now he wants to restore his dignity in front of the officials.

……

At the root of the imperial city, many officials gathered here.

They basically waited outside the imperial city these days.

The mysterious disappearance of Li Shimin made them feel complicated.

Some people are anxious for him, but some people have ghosts in their hearts.

They are well aware of how His Majesty came to be the throne today.

If His Majesty can't come back, the old emperor is still in the palace!
Fortunately, Li Shimin's deterrent power is still there, and the old team members like Changsun Wuji firmly control the court.

Knowing that His Majesty appeared again at this moment, this group of people asked to see him immediately.

During the waiting time, they talked a lot.

"The plague of locusts has not yet subsided, and His Majesty has encountered such a strange thing. It can't help but make people think about it."

"Heaven and man sense, this is what His Majesty did that offended the heavens."

"Shut up! Don't want your head anymore?"

"I'm just telling the truth!"

"Hmph!" Seeing the group of ministers whispering to each other, Cheng Yaojin was very dissatisfied, and said to Yuchi Jingde beside him:

"From my point of view, there are some people here who wish for something to happen to His Majesty."

Yuchi Jingde also nodded slightly: "Your Majesty's superior position has affected the interests of too many people here, but fortunately, Your Majesty has returned safely."

Just at this time, the gate of the imperial city opened, and a eunuch shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has arrived, go to court!"

The officials filed in and came to the main hall for discussing political affairs, and lined up one by one.

Li Shimin was already sitting high on the dragon chair, and the three of them, Changsun Wuji, were already standing below.

"Zhu Qing, can there be a play?"

Li Shimin spoke with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty has an answer!" Wei Zheng was the first to stand up, "The locust plague in the pass is very urgent, why does Your Majesty not come out for a few days?"

Although he is a member of Li Jiancheng, after being reused by Li Shimin, he already admires this open-minded king from the bottom of his heart.

However, he spoke directly enough, without giving Li Er any face.

"Don't worry, I have already found a way to control the locust plague."

Li Shimin's old spirit was there, completely lifeless.

Another veteran came out and said quietly:

"Your Majesty, the plague of locusts is a natural disaster. It cannot be cured by manpower. Your Majesty needs to be kind and benevolent, so that the heavens can take back the plague of locusts..."

Another person echoed: "Your Majesty has not left the imperial study for five days. I heard that the imperial study is covered by thick fog and outsiders are not allowed to enter. This is also a warning from heaven!"

This is the limitation of the thinking of the ancients. Whenever something incomprehensible occurs, it will be blamed on the strange power and chaos.

In addition, the locust plague is definitely something they can't solve, so throwing the blame on Li Er won't make them appear incompetent.

"Xuanling, do you think our Majesty is really sure?"

Du Ruhui looked at Li Shimin's still calm look, and asked Fang Xuanling beside him in a low voice.

Fang Xuanling pondered for a while, and said: "Trust Your Majesty, no matter how bad it is, you can trust that immortal."

Thinking of what Li Shimin told them just now, Du Ruhui's heart calmed down a little, and he became more curious about the way to control the locust plague.

"I know what some of you are thinking." Li Shimin squinted his eyes, his gaze was like a knife, and scanned the group of ministers in the hall.

Being caught by that gaze, some ministers buried their heads even lower.

No matter what, the emperor in front of him was killed, if he really thought that he was cowardly and hopeful, it would be a big mistake.

"At first, I thought it was because I was not virtuous enough that God sent natural disasters one after another."

"But these days, do you know what I've been through?"

"I, I saw a fairy!"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers in the palace trembled in shock.

"Your Majesty!" Wei Zheng frowned, "I think Your Majesty doesn't need to prevaricate the ministers with such absurd words."

Just mentioned earlier that natural disasters happened because of your lack of morality, but then you said that you met a fairy?
In Wei Zheng's view, this is Li Shimin's old problem of saving face.

"What do you think? Do you also think that I am prevaricating and waiting?"

Li Shimin asked the ministers below.

Naturally, this group of people did not believe it.

They don't know the specific situation of the imperial study.

I only heard what happened, but here, who knows if Li Shimin directed and acted himself?

If there is an immortal standing on his behalf, the stains brought about by the "Xuanwu Gate Change" before can be completely washed away.

"Your Majesty, don't talk about immortals!"

"That's right, Your Majesty, immortals are illusory, how could they appear in the palace?"

Opposing voices sounded one after another, and the atmosphere in the hall gradually became dignified.

"Hmph!" Li Shimin's smile slowly subsided, "The plague of locusts came from heaven because of me, but it was false when I said that I saw a fairy?"

"The ministers dare not, the ministers are only planning for His Majesty, for the sake of the Great Tang!"

"The people in the pass are already miserable. If more natural disasters happen because of His Majesty's words, it will not benefit the people's livelihood!"

……

The ministers spoke admonishingly, as if they were really thinking about the Tang Dynasty and the common people.

But here, how many people came from the heart, and how many people were just trying to blow Li Shimin's prestige?

"Enough!" Li Shimin spoke calmly and majesticly, "Where is Yuchi's respect?"

"The minister is here!" Yuchi Jingde immediately came out.

"I order you to collect chickens and ducks in Chang'an City and the surrounding areas, and send them to the place where the locust plague is ravaged as quickly as possible!"

"Ah?" Yuchi Jingde's forehead seemed to be filled with question marks.

Even Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at each other in blank dismay, which one is this singing?
Li Shimin said resolutely: "I told you to do it, so you do it! Killing locusts with chickens and ducks is the strategy for controlling locusts taught to me by the immortals!"

"Obey!" Yuchi Jingde no longer hesitated, and bowed respectfully.

Yuchi Jingde agreed, but the officials below could not listen anymore.

"Your Majesty, this move is unheard of, how can you make a decision rashly?"

"General Yuchi is a general of one party. Letting him organize chickens and ducks to exterminate locusts is an insult to the state!"

A voice of opposition came, but Li Shimin turned a deaf ear to it.

"Okay, this matter is settled here, there is no need to say more, Jingde, I want you to get this matter done as quickly as possible!"

"In addition, I have brought back a few fetishes from the immortals, and let everyone have a look at them!"

Li Shimin waved his hand, and the eunuch presented the few seeds he had taken out, and walked to His Highness for the ministers to watch carefully.
