  Chapter 130 130. Rumors of God's Punishment

  Walking to the frying pan, Shen Yufeng was stunned, "Is this thing still edible?"

  Tan Yibin handed the dustpan in front of him, raised his eyebrows, "Have some?"

  Shen Yufeng looked suspiciously at the fried grasshoppers that looked very appetizing, and sniffed the smell. It was quite fragrant, "Can I eat it?"

  Tan Yibin smiled, "I was skeptical at first, but now I can't stop eating." He pointed to everyone, "Look who doesn't eat it, and it can also cure diseases. If you don't want to get sick, eat it quickly."

  Shen Yufeng didn't believe it, "It's just fried grasshoppers, and it can also cure diseases. Are you fooling me?"

Tan Yibin grabbed two fried grasshoppers and put them in his mouth, "I'm not that leisurely, and besides, in the face of a disaster, don't be hypocritical. It's better to eat something, it's better than eating bark and eating yellow mud." All right?"

  Shen Yufeng is not hypocritical, he just finds it unbelievable, but he still chooses to trust a handful of his colleagues, took one and ate it, squeak.

   "Wow, it's delicious!" I fell in love with it in one bite!

  Shen Yufeng snatched Tan Yibin's dustpan, "Give it to me, you must have eaten a lot."

  Tan Yibin lightened his hand, "You..."

  Seeing Tan Yibin's distressed look, Shen Yufeng couldn't help but said, "Go get some more."

   Tan Yibin waved his hand, "Go, eat yours, I'm looking for the general."

  Shen Yufeng ate fried grasshoppers, looked at the smiles on the faces of the refugees, and thought to himself, that's great!

  …

  Syria city.

   "Now there is not only an epidemic, but also a plague of locusts. It must be that the emperor has no virtue and sent down punishment from heaven."

   "I also think so. The current emperor is too young, and has employed many young officials and generals. They are young and inexperienced. How can they handle state affairs?"

   "Hey, our emperor is too young and aggressive, and doesn't know restraint and awe at all. Now that the punishment of God is coming, life will be difficult in the future!"

  Such rumors have been discussed not only in Xucheng, the surrounding cities, and even the capital, and things have developed in a more serious direction.

   Royal Study Room.

   Several ministers are discussing the refugees with the emperor.

  A minister said, "Your Majesty, the words of heaven's punishment are getting more and more serious. Is there any way for the emperor to calm the rumors?"

  On the throne, a bright yellow figure, with a young and handsome face, exudes majesty from the inside out.

   Hearing the words, he frowned, but did not speak.

Another minister said, "Your Majesty, Tang Jinghong is ineffective. Not only did he fail to deal with the refugees, but he also lost food and grass. Now he is spreading rumors and shaking people's hearts. In my opinion, he should be removed from his post and sent back to Beijing to question his crimes." !"

  The emperor's face was gloomy, "Send Tang Jinghong back to confess his guilt? Who will handle the refugee matter? Could it be that Aiqing wants to make meritorious service?"

  The minister hurriedly said, "The emperor praised the old ministers too much. The old ministers are old and inconvenient to travel to distant places, but there are so many young talents in the court, and they can be appointed."

  The emperor still had a sullen face, "In Aiqing's opinion, who should I send to be more appropriate?"

  The minister also dared to answer, "The old minister thinks that the son of the minister of the Ministry of Industry is very suitable."

  The minister of the Ministry of Industry and the minister in front of him are political enemies, and the purpose of recommending the son of the political enemy at this moment can be imagined.

  The emperor narrowed his eyes, "Aiqing, it suddenly occurred to me that you have a grandson who is a crowned grandson, and he was also a new researcher last year. Do you want to send him to practice?"

  The minister said calmly, "The old minister is appreciated by the emperor, but the grandson has little experience and cannot bear the great responsibility."

  The emperor slapped the imperial case with his palm and scolded angrily, "Get out, let me get out!"

  The ministers hurriedly resigned.

  The ministers next to him all looked at the prime minister with dissatisfaction. Their emperor is not a person who can be fooled casually. Can you say those words?

  The prime minister is at the forefront. He knows that many people are dissatisfied with him, but he has to pay a price for using young officials!

  When the minister left, the emperor threw a memorial in front of him to the ground, "Everyone come to force me, all come to force me!"

  Li Fei hurried to pick up the memorial, "Your Majesty, the more they force you, the more calm you become, just wait until you get through this period of time."

  The emperor clenched his fist tightly, the prime minister's old fox is the most annoying one!

  At this time, a secret guard appeared in the imperial study room, knelt down on one knee, "Your Majesty, General Tang has a secret letter."

  After hearing Tang Jinghong's news, the emperor's brows relaxed a lot, and the atmosphere in the whole imperial study room became much more relaxed.

  Li Fei thought to himself, it really is General Tang who can heal the emperor.

  The emperor said, "Bring it up."

  The secret letter would not be touched by Li Fei, and the secret guard presented it directly to the emperor.

  The emperor took the letter, removed the red paint on it, and took out the letter paper to read. The more he looked at it, the better his face became, and he actually laughed at the back, "Tang Aiqing really didn't disappoint me."

  The secret letter stated Tang Jinghong’s arrangements for food and grass, such as where the real food and grass were, why the food and grass were robbed, and how the refugees were resettled.

  The grain and grass are not lost, and the refugees have made proper arrangements, so the emperor is naturally happy.

  The emperor happily ordered, "Go, bring me some food." Gu Gu was angry, didn't eat anything, and died of starvation.

  Li Fei replied crisply, "Yes, Your Majesty."

  …

  Tang Jinghong received three fast-paced letters in a row, one from Zhan Hongjun, and the other two from soldiers he sent out to inquire about the news. The three letters all talked about the whereabouts of the refugees.

   After reading them one by one, he immediately sent a letter to the deputy general who came to help, telling him to stop the refugees quickly, and the refugees must not go to the capital, otherwise the emperor's own crime will be inevitable.

  Guilty edicts appear in three situations: one is when the monarch and ministers are misplaced, the other is when natural disasters cause disasters, and the third is when the political power is in crisis.

  Once the imperial edict of sin is issued, the emperor will be condemned to the pillar of shame forever.

  The current emperor of Daling has only been on the throne for three years. At this time, he has committed a crime and lost his majesty. His newly stabilized regime will be divided up immediately.

  At that time, he can only be a puppet emperor who is constrained everywhere, and those young officials he activates will be crazily suppressed by a group of old officials, and it will be difficult for the emperor to stand up again.

  As the emperor's first confidant, Tang Jinghong will also be seriously affected, and the suppression must be the most serious.

  Tang Jinghong's prestige in the army has approached that of General Fan. You must know that General Fan is a veteran military general of three dynasties. He said a word in the army and everyone obeyed him. Tang Jinghong is also the same now.

  Based on the relationship between Tang Jinghong and General Fan, those old ministers had long wanted to suppress Tang Jinghong, but they had no reason to do so.

  Outside Xucheng, Tang Jinghong just delivered the letter, and received three more letters.

  These three letters are much more serious: rumors of "God's Punishment" are rampant in the city, and almost everyone is talking about it, asking him how to solve it?

  Tang Jinghong rubbed the center of his brows, and there was another wave of unrest.

  Chu Qingzhi opened the tent and waved to Tang Jinghong, "Jinghong, come in."

   Tang Jinghong felt a little more relaxed when he saw Chu Qingzhi. He nodded and walked towards Chu Qingzhi, "Qingzhi, what's wrong?"
