Transmigrated into the book to become the villain prince, the son of the plane to destroy

In the summer of the 24th year of Daning Jingxing, a large-scale locust plague broke out in Lingnan. The overwhelming locusts ravaged Jiaozhou, eating up the crops that the people had worked so hard to cultivate. It seems that there will be no harvest this year.

When the news reached Luoyang, the government and the public were shocked.

In this era, the theory of interaction between heaven and man prevailed, and it was generally believed that the emperor's failure of virtue caused such a large-scale locust plague.

All of a sudden, people in the court and the wild were panicked. Wang Chong took the opportunity to mobilize his party members to build momentum in the court, publicizing the disaster and natural punishment, and collectively wrote a letter requesting the emperor Xiao Ji to issue an edict of guilt, and the locust disaster would disappear by itself.

Xiao Ji was naturally unwilling to issue an edict because of the detriment of God's power. However, the plague of locusts became more and more severe. After the destruction of Jiaozhou, the overwhelming locusts turned north and began to invade the neighboring Yangzhou and Jingzhou. If the locusts were allowed to continue to wreak havoc like this, I am afraid This year, the entire south of the Yangtze River has no crops. Even the north of the Yangtze River will have a large-scale reduction in production due to harvesting. The final result will be a large-scale famine.

The worse news is that because of the severe locust plague in Jiaozhi, the local natives were extremely dissatisfied with the government. Under the instigation of some local nobles in Jiaozhi, they attacked the local government, beheaded Han officials, and resisted the rule of Daning. In the end, the natives of Jiaozhi claimed to be the original Ruan Nan, a descendant of the Jiaozhi royal family, was the emperor, proclaiming himself the Emperor of Dayue, and declared that Jiaozhi was separated from the rule of Daning.

……

Changning Palace, Qinzheng Palace.

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

All civil and military officials bowed down together, and the mountain shouted long live.

"Everyone loves to be flat."

Xiao Ji couldn't hide the sadness on his face. Today's disaster plus man-made disasters are enough for him to be devastated and in chaos.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

All the officials worshiped again, then got up, left Wen and right Wu divided into two shifts.

Xiao Ji glanced at the officials in the palace, and saw Xiao Jie in the row of nobles, and a glimmer of hope surged in his heart for no reason.

This son doesn't go to court easily, but every time he goes to court, he can help him solve problems. I hope he can help himself today.

Now he not only has to face the raging locust plague and the Jiaozhi rebellion, but also has to face the rebellion of the royal party. They use the locust plague to build momentum, publicize the immorality of the emperor, and demand that they sin against themselves to thank the people of the world and to calm the locusts. disaster.

But Xiao Ji was unwilling to issue such an edict of sin no matter what. The son of heaven replaced the herdsmen of heaven and was admired by all people in the world. A glorious stroke that has been criticized by future generations.

"If you have something to play, you will retreat."

Although Lian Yi, the internal servant next to the dragon chair, knew that he must have an official to play, he still had to say the lines that should be said, and the process that should be followed still had to be followed.

"Your Majesty, I have an instruction book."

Sinong Shaoqing Du Zhen was the first to jump out, with a heavy complexion and a sad tone: "Your Majesty Qizuo, the locusts have now reached Yuzhang and Kuaiji counties in Yangzhou, as well as Wuling and Changsha counties in Jingzhou. If we come up with rectification measures, I am afraid that the entire Jingzhou and Yangzhou will have no harvest this summer, and countless people will have no harvest and will be displaced."

Xiao Ji's face was gloomy, and everyone in the government and the public knew the seriousness of the locust plague, but now Du Zhen, who is Wang Chong's henchman, once again exaggerated it, probably with malicious intentions.

"Do you have any countermeasures?"

Si Tiantai Baozhangzheng (official name) Shibo came out: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I recently watched the stars at night and found that the emperor's star is dim, which is definitely not a good omen. I hope your Majesty will learn from you."

Xiao Ji's face became more and more gloomy. One of the royal party said that the locust plague was serious, and the other said that the emperor's star was dark. The next one should persuade me to issue an edict.

Sure enough, Chen Chi, a member of Zhongshushe, came out and said, "My Majesty, disasters from heaven are warnings from the heavens, telling Your Majesty not to notice for a while. God's will cannot be violated. The sages have said that knowing your mistakes can make things better. I hope that your majesty will do it for the people of the world." , issued an edict to punish oneself, to bring peace to the people, and to quell the plague of locusts."

Tu Qiong saw that the blue veins on Xiao Ji's forehead burst out, and his heart was already full of anger.

At today's court meeting, he hopes that the ministers will come up with ideas to help the court solve the problem, and he didn't let the ministers take the opportunity to force the palace to commit crimes. Do they still have a little bit of the rules of the monarch and ministers in their eyes!

"Father, my son thinks that Chen Sheren's words are wrong!"

At the critical moment, Xiao Jie, who had been silent all this time, came out and refuted Chen Chi as soon as he opened his mouth.

Seeing that his son stood up again at the critical moment, Xiao Ji warmed up a little, and also inexplicably felt a little more at ease.

Chen Chi saw Xiao Jie going to the court today, and he had already guessed what he might do today, so he was not in a hurry, and said in a calm manner: "His Royal Highness, I don't know where my words are wrong. ?”

Xiao Jie stared at Chen Chi, and said with a sneer: "As Chen Sheren said, since a disaster from heaven is a warning from the heavens, to show that the father is not aware of it for a while, if this is the case, how can a mere edict of sin against oneself be justified?" Locust plague?"

Chen Chi's face darkened, and he retorted, "If even the edict of guilt cannot stop the plague of locusts, what does His Highness think we can do to stop the plague of locusts?"

Xiao Jie smiled slightly: "If an official's negligence caused a disaster, it is natural to dismiss the official. If it is true that the emperor's inattentiveness caused the plague of locusts to rage, it should be..."

"King Qi, you dare to be so rebellious, are you trying to rebel?"

Seeing that Xiao Jie was about to say rebellious words, Chen Chi would not let go of such an opportunity, and immediately reprimanded him loudly.

All the officials were in an uproar for a while, pointing and pointing at Xiao Jie one after another.

Su Jing was even more dumbfounded, he didn't know what happened to his good son-in-law today, how he dared to talk nonsense in the court, and uttered such outrageous words.

Xiao Ji's face was still gloomy, but he didn't show any signs of attack. He thought he knew his son well. Now that he had broken with the Wang family, he was the only one he could rely on, and it was absolutely impossible for him to dare to betray him at this time.

"Let him continue!" Xiao Ji's voice was extremely cold.

"Father, my son has also studied the theory of prophecy and wei. I know that the disorder of heaven and earth is caused by the imbalance of yin and yang in the world. It may not be the fault of the emperor's negligence, or it may be caused by the failure of officials."

The ministers were even more uproarious, and they looked at Xiao Jie even more unkindly. Xiao Jie's words could be regarded as offending all the officials in the world.

Xiao Jie ignored them, and continued to say to Xiao Ji: "If it is true that all officials have lost their virtue, it will be useless for the father to issue an edict to sin against himself, but it is impossible to dismiss the officials of the world because of this."

"Therefore, my son suggested that since the prime minister is the head of all the officials, the emperor father can dismiss the prime minister in order to bring peace to the people and to quell the plague of locusts."
