Datang: at the Beginning, Eat Fruit

　　"Hmph, he wants to keep the old man under house arrest in the palace for the rest of his life. Go back and tell him that before the old man has had enough fun, he will die in Anping County even if he dies."

　　Back to the palace?Is the food in the palace for people to eat?

　　The steamed buns he just ate, the delicious meat stuffing in the patties, didn't have the mutton smell of mutton, nor was it beef.The meat is very fresh and tender, with minced green onion, the fragrance is not good, it is much more delicious than the palace.

　　But what caused him a headache was the fact that he didn't know the better candidates. There were no ones who were comparable to Empress Changsun. His most beloved granddaughter, Li Lizhi, was one of them.

　　But she was too young, she was only a few years old.If she was a few years older, she would definitely not be much worse than Empress Changsun.

　　…………

　　Chang'an, Tai Chi Palace.

　　Li Er, who had dealt with government affairs, was about to accompany his queen to have dinner.However, the return of Wu He brought him a very unpleasant news.

　　The Emperor Taishang, who was supposed to return to the palace today, did not return to the palace, but stayed in Anping County.

　　"The Emperor Taishang said that he wants to stay in Anping County to play enough, and he doesn't want to return to the palace too soon." Wu He said.

　　"Xiaowei Wu, tell me in detail what happened in Anping County, why did the Emperor Taishang change the normal?" Li Er said solemnly.

　　"Yes." Wu He did not dare to hide anything, and told him in detail what he had seen and heard.

　　"How could there be such a strange person in Anping County? Xiaowei Wu, is it true?" Li Er was naturally not convinced when he heard that Lu Xiu had the magical ability to turn a stone into gold.

　　"Your Majesty, it is absolutely true. The last will see with his own eyes that he turned a pile of sand into high-quality wheat grain, and turned well water into mellow wine." Wu He vowed.

　　Therefore, he was able to relieve the tens of thousands of hungry people in Anping County from the plague of locusts.

　　"But I don't know why he wants the hungry people to exchange locusts for food. It stands to reason that his ability to turn stone into gold doesn't actually use locusts." Wu He was puzzled.

　　"Hehe, you are a martial artist, so naturally you don't understand his intentions."

　　Li Er smiled and asked the people to catch locusts in exchange for food. He guessed that there were two intentions.

　　First, although he has the ability to help the people, he does not want the people to gain something for nothing and become dependent.Even if he has the ability, he can't support them for a lifetime.Second, it can allow the people to clean up a large number of locusts.

　　Although many people think that locusts are natural disasters, Li Er will not take it seriously. He went to worship the sky the day before yesterday, and even ate locusts in front of civil and military officials.Locusts are not a natural disaster, but a calamity.

　　"By the way, the Supreme Emperor... He also asked the last general to bring a letter to the Minister of Rites, the Prince of Hejian!!"

　　"What letter? Xiaowei Wu, take it out and show me what is written."

　　Hearing this, Li Er frowned.Have to open the envelope and take a look.And the content inside made him laugh and cry.

　　It turned out that he was writing a letter to Lu Xiu in Luzhuang, Anping County, hoping that the Prince of Hejian would see his face and betrothed his daughter, the Lord of Yuyao, to Lu Xiu.

　　Yuyao County Lord's good name is often heard in the palace, even Cheng Yaojin and several other princes and nobles want to propose marriage to their son, but unfortunately they were rejected by Hejian County Prince.

　　Li Xiaogong's mood, Li Er can understand, because Yuyao County Master has been seriously ill since childhood, and it is not known whether he can live to eighteen years old.

　　"I don't know what the royal father's intention is. Maybe the other party is a strange person with a different technique, but the county owner has a noble status, so how can he be easily betrothed to others."

　　"The Emperor Taishang doesn't seem to want to reveal his identity, and the other party doesn't know the identity of the Emperor Taishang. Moreover, the Emperor Taishang hinted that he could grant him a high-ranking official position, but he was not tempted. He said that except for the lack of a wife, there was nothing missing, so the Emperor Taishang agreed to help him. He said pro." Wu He said.

　　"Since that's the case, isn't there a lot of ladies in Chang'an City? Why did the royal father go to Princess Yuyao?" Li Er asked in surprise.

　　"The Emperor Taishang thought so too. Originally, he had the idea of ​​marrying the eldest princess, but he rejected it. He said that the eldest grandson of the Tang Dynasty was unparalleled in beauty, and getting a wife was a major event in life. If you want to go, you may think that Yuyao County Master meets the requirements." Wu He said.

　　"He has some vision." Hearing Lu Xiu's praise of his queen, Li Er was also very happy, but if a Guanyin maid is seven or eight points of beauty, it is indeed difficult to find and it is no wonder that Yuyao County Master is found.

　　"Then, Your Majesty, should the letter from the Supreme Emperor be handed over to the Prince of Hejian?"

　　"Forget it. I don't intend to get involved in this matter. But you must help me to persuade the Emperor Taishang back to the palace as soon as possible. If he has been living outside, what kind of behavior will he be?".

Chapter 6

　　"Yuyao, the Emperor Taishang wants to tell you a marriage, but I don't know what you think."

　　Li Xiaogong, who received the letter from Li Yuan, was surprised at the Hejian County Prince's Mansion.Because Li Yuan hadn't contacted him for a long time, but when he saw the content inside, he couldn't help laughing like Li Er.

　　The two had a deep friendship, and Li Yuan's matchmaking was difficult for him to refuse.

　　"Dad, it's not that you don't know your daughter's body. Marrying someone else will hurt others. Yuyao doesn't plan to marry someone." As she spoke, a blush appeared on her pale and pretty face.

　　"Cough cough!"

　　Suddenly, she took out a handkerchief and covered her mouth.After a few soft coughs, the white handkerchief on his hand was stained with a little vermilion.

　　Chuan corpse (pulmonary tuberculosis), which is called tuberculosis in modern times, is not a serious disease, and it is not difficult to cure.But in ancient times, it was a serious disease that almost no medicine could cure.

　　Therefore, Li Yuyao was eighteen years old and never married.The worsening of her condition made her body lose weight day by day, and she didn't even know if she could survive today's winter.

　　"How could I not know!! But that's what the Emperor Taishang meant. In his letter, he said that he met a strange person in Anping County. He has unpredictable abilities. Come see him with me tomorrow, maybe it may cure your terminal illness. ." Li Xiaogong said.

　　"Dad, whether it can be cured or not!! I've already looked down on life and death. The only thing Yuyao cares about is her parents. I hope I can stay with you for a few more years."

　　In the past few years, they did not know how many famous doctors and warlocks they had visited, but after learning about Li Yuyao's condition, every one of them avoided it for fear of being infected.

　　"It will be fine." Li Xiaogong comforted his daughter, no matter what, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would not give up.

　　…………

　　The next day, Li Xiaogong took Li Yuyao lightly on the road.

　　At the noon time, they came to Anping County, a dozen miles away from Chang'an City.Li Xiaogong was surprised to find that the people of Anping County were different from what he knew.

　　Although Anping County is facing a locust plague, everyone is actively catching locusts in the fields.

　　"See Emperor Taishang." After seeing Li Yuan, Li Xiaogong bowed.

　　"Hehe, Xiaogong, here you go, take Yuyao with you. The old man promised Lu Xiaoyou that he would give him a marriage." Li Yuan said with a smile.

　　"Reporting to the Emperor Taishang, the belt is brought. But the Emperor Taishang knows about Yuyao's physical condition." Li Xiaogong said helplessly.

　　"Xiaogong, Xiaoyou Lu is not an ordinary person. This old man thinks that he can definitely cure Princess Yuyao's illness." Li Yuan still feels incredible about Lu Xiu's ability.As if turning a stone into gold, he transformed into a delicacy that he had never heard of in the imperial palace. As the Supreme Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he was like a bun in front of Lu Xiu! !

　　"If Yuyao's terminal illness can really be cured, it is not impossible to marry Yuyao to him."

　　"Hmph, what are you despising. The old man wanted to be his husband, but he didn't agree, otherwise it wouldn't be your daughter's turn."

　　"What. He doesn't know what to do. The eldest princess is precious, and being able to marry the eldest princess, I don't know how many people are the blessings accumulated over several lifetimes."

　　"Hehe, don't blame him, because the old man didn't reveal his identity. If you go to see him later, don't let him slip."

　　Li Yuan didn't plan to get along with Lu Xiu as Taishanghuang, worried that the relationship between the two would start to divide due to the disparity in their identities.

　　How should I put it, he likes to chat with Lu Xiu very much. The two of them have no scruples when they talk, and they can say whatever they want.

　　"Understood, Your Majesty."

　　Later, Li Yuan took them to Luzhuang.

　　Looking at the people lining up with locusts, Li Xiaogong was surprised again.When he saw that locusts could be exchanged for food, Li Xiaogong finally understood why the people in Anping County actively caught locusts.

　　Not to mention whether he is capable or not, Li Xiaogong has already admired his style of saving the world and helping the people.

　　"Ergou, where's your son." In the wide yard, Li Yuan only saw Li Ergou waiting for a few servants.He couldn't help but murmured in his heart, wouldn't he be stage fright knowing that Yuyao was coming.

　　"Mr. Li, our son went to the ground this morning." Li Ergou said honestly.

　　"Go to the ground? How much food does your son want, do you need to farm?" Li Yuan said.

　　"How do you say it. Of course, the son is not worried about the lack of food, but other people can't always ask the son to support him. So the son took some potatoes that are said to be very productive, and tried to plant them to see if they could survive." Li Ergou explained.

　　The ability to eat fruit is to be able to change the ingredients that Lu Xiu has eaten, but whether it can be planted remains to be confirmed.

　　"It turns out that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Two dogs, find someone to take the old man to see it."

　　"okay.".

Chapter 7

　　Luzhuang is considered a small asset in Anping County, with more than [-] mu of fertile land at home.

　　Even if Lu Xiu didn't have a systematic existence, relying on a hundred acres of fertile land was actually enough for him to live a very smart life.

　　"Master Lu, the potato seeds in the ground have sprouted."

　　"Very good, it looks like all the fields in Luzhuang can be planted with potatoes."

　　Lu Xiu, who went to the ground to inspect, learned a happy news from the tenant farmers.Unexpectedly, potatoes transformed from eating fruits can also be planted and survived as seeds.

　　"But I'm worried that it will be eaten up by locusts in a few days. Young Master Lu, why don't you wait." Tenantong said.

　　"It's okay, I will arrange dozens of people to be responsible for catching locusts in the field." Since Lu Xiu released the locusts in exchange for food, there have been many fewer locusts in Anping County!

　　"That's right. Now the people in the county are starting to fight for locusts when they see them. I believe it won't be long before the locusts in our Anping County will be cleared up soon."

　　The tenant peasant glanced at Lu Xiu gratefully, thinking that everything was due to Mr. Lu in front of him. If it wasn't for Mr. Lu, their family might starve to death this year.

　　…………

　　"Master Lu, Old Man Li came to you."

　　On the ridge, Zhou Xiang, who was instructed by Li Ergou to help lead the way, shouted at Lu Xiu in the field.

　　Inside the sedan chair, Li Yuyao quietly opened the curtain of the sedan chair.

　　"Is he the Lu Xiu the Emperor Taishang said?"

　　Take a peek.A slender and handsome young man appeared in front of her eyes.Thinking that she might be her husband in the future, Li Yuyao blushed.

　　"Little friend Lu, come up quickly, I have something to tell you."

　　"Old man Li, can't you see that I'm busy? I see you, you just want to eat."

　　Lu Xiu looked at the sky, it happened to be noon time, it was time to eat.

　　"It's as if the old man can only eat and drink. Didn't the old man say last time that he wanted to tell you a marriage, and now the old man brought her." Li Yuan snorted.

　　"Really?" Lu Xiu looked up and found the sedan chair and the girl hiding inside.

　　No, old man Li really wants to introduce him to girls.Lu Xiu felt a little embarrassed. It was because the old man Li was just joking. Who knew he was serious, and he didn't know if he was pretty or not.

　　"Come up quickly, by the way, the delicious food will come out at the same time, the old man is going to starve to death." Li Yuan urged.

　　"Wait a minute, I'll come up right away." After tidying up, Lu Xiu stepped up from the ground, "Old man Li, you're too sudden. Let's talk first, I won't necessarily accept it, you have to let the woman do it. Be mentally prepared."

　　"Okay, remember your request, old man, she completely complied, and I told her in advance. Let's go back to dinner first, and then talk when we're full." Li Yuan said.
