Datang: Encouraging Li Er to rebel, being overheard

Chapter 35 Immortal Dreaming?

But for so many years, Li Chengqian has not systematically studied governing the country.

Where did he know this?
After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, Du Ruhui read the memorial and handed it over to his next successor. He was also full of admiration for Li Chengqian, and asked the same questions as Fang Xuanling.

Li Chengqian was a little entangled in their inquiries.

[How do I answer this? 】

[This is considered to be edited and you have to have time to edit it. You suddenly asked this question, and I was not prepared at all. 】

With a murmur in his heart, he turned his head to look at Li Shimin, wanting to seek help, but turned around and found that Li Shimin was also looking at him curiously, waiting for him to answer.

This made Li Chengqian speechless for a while, and rolled his eyes.

"Father, my son also had a dream once. He dreamed of an immortal. It was that immortal who taught him how to govern the country, and taught him many things."

"Not only that, but I often dream of that fairy when I dream later."

"I learned a lot of things from the immortal, and those blueprints were also given by the immortal."

Anyway, today is a feudal society, and there is a lot of trust in ghosts and gods.

Many people will believe what he said.

Feeling his own cleverness, Li Chengqian's words fell, and many people really stared at him with wide eyes.

The throats of all the officials present rolled slightly.

Fairy dreaming?

This is only in the legend.

But now, their eldest prince was unexpectedly entered into a dream by an immortal to teach him.

Not only these ministers, Li Shimin was silent for a while on Long Yu, clenched his fist slightly, and looked up at Li Chengqian.

"Chengqian, are you serious?"

Speaking of this, Li Shimin secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.

Fairy?

Could it be that an immortal really entered Li Chengqian's dream and taught him these things?
But if it's an immortal, how could Li Chengqian's heartfelt voice not match up?

Frowning, Li Shimin took a deep breath, and looked at Li Chengqian with extremely serious eyes.

It is not a trivial matter for the immortal to enter the dream and teach him to govern the country.

"Of course it's true. The immortal father told me that there will be a drought and a plague of locusts in the Tang Dynasty soon."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Chengqian also revealed his previous discovery.

Once the drought and locust plagues start, Datang will face difficulties, and it is impossible to deal with these natural disasters without preparation.

Now tell Li Shimin to prepare early, so that you won't be so panicked when the time comes.

"what!?"

Li Shimin immediately shot the case, and those ministers also froze in place, and then their faces turned pale, terrified.

The minister who was reading the memorial trembled all over, and almost threw the memorial.

Locust plague and drought!
No matter what happens, there will be no crops in the Tang Dynasty, the people will suffer endlessly, and countless people will starve to death.

If these two disasters happen at the same time, what kind of Shura hell will it be?
I really can't imagine.

"Li Chengqian, are you sure? You are responsible for what you say."

"This is a serious matter, and I dare not make false reports."

Li Chengqian shook his head slightly, his eyes were extremely serious, and he said word by word.

How dare you lie about this matter?

[Judging from the current situation of locusts in Chang'an City, it is less than half a month since the locust plague started. 】

[As for the drought, I don’t know if it will come together. 】

[I hope this time it will pass safely, otherwise too many people will die. 】

Thinking of this in his heart, Li Chengqian pursed his lower lip, his eyes filled with worry.

"Your Majesty, I feel that we should start stockpiling grain now. All the silver in the treasury can be used to buy grain, as much as we can, and the people will not have to starve to death so much."

"It's autumn now, and winter is coming soon, and countless people will freeze to death. We need to prepare some winter coats."

In addition to disasters, we also need to beware of people's hearts.

Taking a deep breath, Li Chengqian clenched his fists when he thought of this, and his eyes were quite worried.

"Father, my son feels that if this disaster cannot be resolved perfectly, then Datang will face immeasurable losses."

You must know that this time, the rule of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty has just begun.

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, the regime has not been fully stabilized.

And it was at this time that a natural disaster occurred.

And much earlier than in history.

If it is not handled properly, it will cause the Datang treasury to be empty and the people to live in dire straits.

The surrounding Huihe Turks and others will take advantage of this time to attack and occupy the Tang Dynasty.

To know the rich resources in Datang, they have been coveting them for a long time.

[I hope Li Shimin can get through this time safely. 】

[I don’t know how much he can listen to my suggestions, but I’ll do my best to help. 】

Pursing his lips, thinking so in his heart, Li Chengqian looked up at Li Shimin, the emotion in his eyes was extremely sincere.

Li Shimin also met Li Chengqian's eyes. Looking at the emotion in those eyes, he was silent for two seconds. He didn't expect that Li Chengqian would still think so much when he was usually out of tune.

"Chengqian, I will think about this matter carefully. If you have any plan, you can follow me after the court breaks up, and we can discuss it carefully."

Having said this, he paused for a while, and Li Shimin looked at Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling again.

"You two follow."

"The minister obeys the order!"

"My son obeys the order!"

Due to the natural and man-made disasters reported by Li Chengqian, the morning court ended quickly this time, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

Even the surprise brought by Li Chengqian's previous reform of the official system could not offset their worries.

At this time, after the early court had dispersed, Li Chengqian, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui followed Li Shimin to the study.

After the door was closed, the other servants in the study were dismissed, leaving only three people at this time.

Li Shimin put his hands behind his back and paced on the spot.

Li Chengqian and the other three stood quietly beside them.

"Natural disaster! This year is the first year of Zhenguan, and there is a plague of locusts. Will the people think that I am the emperor, and my position is not right, so it will arouse the wrath of the heavens."

Muttering to himself, the more he thought about it, the more irritable Li Shimin felt.

But at this moment, he heard Li Chengqian's voice next to him.

[Natural disasters and man-made disasters are inevitable, how can they have anything to do with the emperor? 】

[These people in ancient times were so superstitious, so they believed this. 】

[The locust plague is not without reason. 】

While thinking about Li Chengqian, he let out a long sigh in his heart.

[In the final analysis, the people's thinking at this time is too ignorant. 】

[I really don’t know what is the use of studying those Four Books and Five Classics. 】

[Are you counting on these officials?Let them say how the plague of locusts happened?What are you kidding? 】

When Li Shimin, who was originally worried, heard this voice, his eyes lit up immediately.

He who was in a hurry suddenly stopped in front of Li Chengqian, put his hands on his shoulders, and looked into Li Chengqian's eyes.

Li Shimin's eyes were slightly red like this, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were extremely shocked, they looked at each other, and for a moment doubted whether the person in front of him was Li Shimin.

Even with the army in front of him, Li Shimin has never shown his appearance like this.
