Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

Even the emperor can't do anything, so the common people can only wait to die?

Cheng Yaojin pondered for a moment, and said, "Chai Shao also received this letter?"

"Yes, I entered the city with Chai Lingwu!"

"Come on, let's go to Chai's house now!"

Cheng Yaojin said, got up and left.

Before reaching the door, he suddenly heard a horse neighing from outside the house.

Boom boom boom!

The people outside did not reveal their identities, and they slammed the door when they came up.

"Old Cheng, open the door quickly!"

As soon as Cheng Yaojin heard the voice, he knew who it was, and immediately ordered his servants to open the door.

Chai Shao took Chai Lingwu and a few attendants and strode into Cheng's mansion.

Without any pleasantries, Chai Shao said straightforwardly: "Old Cheng, do you think what the Liu family boy said is credible?"

Cheng Yaojin pointed to the people behind Chai Shao, and Chai Shao naturally understood what he meant, and said, "They are all generals who have followed me for decades, so don't worry about them spreading the news!"

Cheng Yaojin nodded and handed his letter to Chai Shao.

Chai Shao looked at it for a while, and said with a sullen face: "The contents of the two letters are the same! Liu Bai said that the locust plagues recorded in the history books all have certain omens. I have searched the books at home and can confirm that what he said is true it is true!"

"Unfortunately, in recent years, the imperial court has been plagued by many things. Even if they knew about it in advance, they might not have time to take care of it. Besides, the Liu family boy said that next year's locust disaster will even surpass the one in Daye Year!"

Speaking of the locust plague during the Daye years, Cheng Yaojin's face showed a bit of fear!

"It seems that we have to go to Jingyang County overnight, and we have to get back before dawn. The reason why Liu Bai delivered the letter late at night is because he is afraid that we will miss tomorrow's big court meeting. You know, tomorrow is the last big court meeting this year. Miss it This time, at least until February next year!"

Cheng Yaojin hurriedly ordered his servants to prepare their horses, and soon, a group of people rushed out of the city in a hurry.

Chang'an City, inside the palace!

Li Er, as usual, was reviewing the memorial in Zichen Hall.

"Your Majesty, there will be a grand court meeting tomorrow, you should go to bed early."

Wynn served a cup of ginseng tea and said softly.

Li Er took the tea, took a sip, and said, "Tomorrow is the last grand court meeting in the first year of Zhenguan, and all government affairs accumulated during the year must be reviewed."

Putting down the ginseng tea, Li Er rubbed the center of his eyebrows wearily, wanting to rest for a while, he closed his eyes and said, "Wynn, has there been any change in court recently?"

Huai En said with a smile: "Your Majesty's kindness is great, and all the officials are naturally loyal to their duties. However, the slaves heard that Qiao Guogong and Su Guogong just left the city overnight, and they seem to be going to Liujiazhuangzi."

There was a smile on the corner of Li Er's mouth, and he said: "They put their son in Liu's house, which is also good for Liu Bai. At least when Liu Bai enters the court, someone will protect him. Tell me, the grand court will be postponed for an hour tomorrow, otherwise they will rush not coming back."

Chapter 16: At this time, it might become a credit!Super wronged Chai Lingwu

When Cheng Yaojin and Chai Shao arrived at Liu's house, it was already midnight.

In Liu Bai's study room, the two listened attentively to Liu Bai's narration, nodding from time to time.

This matter has too much to do with it, even though Liu Bai has made it very clear in his letter, they still have to confirm it again and again.

"The biggest locust plague in a century?"

After listening to Liu Bai's narration, both of them gasped at the same time.

They are all people who have experienced the locust plague during the Daye years, and they are very aware of the horror of the locust plague.

If the locust plague is more serious next year, it is entirely possible to overthrow the Tang Dynasty!

Chai Shao said in a deep voice: "Lao Cheng and I have discussed it. We will report to His Majesty at the Great Court Meeting tomorrow, so you don't want to interfere!"

Cheng Yaojin was worried that Liu Bai didn't understand Chai Shao's painstaking efforts, and explained: "The imperial court will soon announce that it will send troops to attack the Turks. At this time, there will be natural disasters, and some people will definitely jump out and say that it is a lie to confuse the public, so you can't fight this It has half a relationship!"

Liu Bai smiled and said: "The boy understands the kindness of the two of you, but"

He took out a pamphlet from his cuff, put it in front of the two of them, and said, "However, it might be a credit!"

Cheng Yaojin and Chai Shao looked at each other in blank dismay as they looked at the words 'plan' on the cover of the booklet.

"It's still a while before dawn, you two can take a look at it slowly, if you don't understand something, I will explain it later"

Outside the study!

Cheng Chumo and Chai Lingwu lay on the door, one on the left and the other on the right, trying to hear what the people inside were talking about.

But I don't know if it's because the voices of the people inside are too low, or the sound insulation of the door is so good that no movement can be heard at all.

The two bored could only sit on the steps of the door and doze off.

After an unknown amount of time, a burst of hearty laughter came from the study, waking them up.

Cheng Chumo stood up with a 'crush', and kicked Chai Lingwu who was still sitting on the steps.

Reluctantly, Chai Lingwu stood up, patted the dirt on his buttocks, "I'm a dignified little prince, how come I'm a concierge now?"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a "squeak".

The door of the study opened, and Chai Shao came out first, glared at Chai Lingwu, and said, "I've wronged you for being my concierge?"

While talking, Liu Bai and Cheng Yaojin also came out.

Chai Lingwu squeezed out a smile uglier than crying, and said, "Father, that's not what I meant."

Chai Shao ignored his son, and said to Liu Bai, "We're going back to Beijing right now, and we can send you news at noon tomorrow at the latest!"

Liu Bai nodded and said, "Duke Chai is here!"

Chai Shao waved his hand and said, "You and Lao Cheng both call you Uncle, why did you change here?"

Liu Bai smiled and cupped his hands, and said, "I've seen Uncle Chai!"

The three laughed and walked towards the gate together.

Just as Chai Shao was about to get on his horse, when he turned around, he suddenly saw Chai Lingwuzheng following him in small steps, and said angrily, "What are you doing here?"

Chai Lingwu trembled all over, and stammered, "Aren't we going back home?"

He really doesn't want to stay at Liu's house for a day, not to mention washing the dishes by himself, and being 'bullied' by Cheng Chumo all day long, if he resists, Xu Chu will come over

"Fart, you just live here with nephew Liu Xian. If I let Lao Tzu know that you have sneaked away, be careful of your dog legs!"

After finishing speaking, he said to Liu Bai again: "Nephew Liu Xian, I will order the family general to bring the whip that used to punish Ling Wu. If he is disobedient, you will use the family law!"

Liu Bai suppressed a smile, and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Chai, Ling Wu has been quite well-behaved recently."

Chai Shao nodded, gave his son another glance, got on his horse and left!

After seeing off the two princes, Liu Bai gave Chai Lingwu a 'meaningful' look.

Chai Lingwu shuddered, and hurriedly said: "Brother Liu, I know I was wrong!"

Liu Bai smiled but ignored him, but casually waved to Cheng Chumo who was beside him.

"Brother Liu, leave it to me!"

Cheng Chumo squeezed his fist with a sinister smile, and walked towards Chai Lingwu step by step.

Chai Lingwu took several steps back, his face full of fear, he suddenly turned around and ran in the direction Chai Shao left.

"Father, help!!"

But before he could take a few steps, he was kicked down by Cheng Chumo, followed by a severe beating

At Yin time, it was just dawn.

Cheng Yaojin and Chai Shao, who had been running all night, looked very tired.

But they didn't have time to rest. After returning to Chang'an City, they galloped directly towards the imperial palace.

When the two rushed to the palace, they saw hundreds of civil and military officials lined up, waiting outside the Tai Chi Hall.

"It's already five quarters of Yin time. It stands to reason that the Great Court Meeting is about to begin. Why are they still here?" Cheng Yaojin asked suspiciously.

Chai Shao didn't know what was going on, and was about to step forward to ask his colleagues to clarify.

At this time, Wynn came over with a smile on his face.

"I have seen the two dukes, Your Majesty ordered them to go to Zichen Palace!"

Cheng Yaojin and Chai Shao looked at each other, agreed, handed the horse over to the palace guards, followed Wynn, and walked towards Zichen Palace.

When they arrived at the Zichen Palace, Li Er was changing into a dragon robe under the service of the maid.

"See Your Majesty!"

Cheng Yaojin and Chai Shao bowed to salute.

Seeing that the two had arrived, Li Er waved his hand and ordered the maids to retreat, went to sit in front of the dragon chair, and said: "If there is no important matter, you two dukes will not leave the city late at night. An hour later, if there is anything, please speak as soon as possible."

He glanced at the two of them with great interest, and immediately picked up the clear porridge on the dragon table.

Cheng Yaojin and Chai Shao exchanged glances, then suddenly fell to their knees on the ground at the same time, and said: "I have something important to announce, please Your Majesty dismiss all the servants in Zichen Palace!"

Li Er was startled, and then his expression became serious.

Important ministers like Cheng Yaojin and Chai Shao don't have to kneel and salute when they are on the sidelines.

The fact that the two of them are so solemn shows that what they are about to perform is not trivial!

"Wynn!" Li Er said.

Wynn immediately drove out all the servants in the palace.

He walked last by himself, and after going out, he slowly closed the palace gate.

Li Er put down the porridge and said, "Get up, what's the matter that deserves your big fight?"

Chai Shao took out the booklet and a sealed letter from his arms, stepped forward and put them on the dragon case, then slowly stepped back, and said: "You two old ministers, I was surprised to hear a big event last night, so I decided to give it a try. Go to Liu's house in Jingyang and find Liu Bai to confirm it, the reasons are all in the letter, please take a look at it!"

Li Er frowned slightly, and opened the sealing letter.

However, Li Er looked at the two pieces of paper for half a quarter, and the more he looked at them, the more dignified his face became!

Cheng Yaojin said: "Your Majesty, Liu Bai has explained the reason clearly. This matter is related to the fate of our Tang Dynasty, so we must not neglect it!"

Li Er was relieved, but he didn't touch the booklet.

After closing his eyes and meditating for a moment, Li Erdao: "Zhijie, tell the people outside that the court will be postponed for another hour, and Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Gao Shilian, and Xiao Yu will be ordered to enter the palace together!"

Chapter 17: Shen Wansan, the best of the best

The next day, after lunch, Liu Wan'er went to the county with a few accountants.

Since 28 commercial firms signed contracts for the transfer of property and business, Liu Wan'er has been busy accepting them.

Not only did the store need to be reorganized, but also the supply of goods and manpower issues had to be resolved by Liu Wan'er herself.

Cheng Chumo and Chai Lingwu were clearing up the dishes while looking into the yard.

There, more than a dozen guards stood in two neat teams, constantly changing their moves following Xu Chu's every password.

Xu Chu walked back and forth among the crowd, and when he saw that the posture was wrong, he corrected it hand in hand.

Liu Bai glanced at Cheng Chumo and Chai Lingwu, "Want to learn?"

The two nodded hurriedly.

"Then clean up the dishes!"

Hearing the words, Cheng Chumo ran into the yard with a bowl and chopsticks in his hand.

Chai Lingwu's reaction was a bit slow, and after Cheng Chumo ran out, he realized that there were more than half of the bowls and chopsticks on the table.

He could only sigh and put the rest of the bowls and chopsticks into the wooden basin one by one, then he drooped his head and walked into the yard.

Liu Bai smiled, stretched, and planned to go back to the study.

As soon as he went out, the porter ran over and said, "Master, there is a letter from Duke Cheng's residence!"

Liu Bai took the letter, but didn't open it right away.

After returning to the study, he closed the door and then tore open the envelope.

"Secret!"
