The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

After learning the news that Yue Fei had returned to Chang'an, Li Chengdao left Qingli Palace directly and went to the imperial study.

When he arrived at the imperial study room, Yue Fei was already waiting there.

After not seeing him for nearly four months, Yue Fei looked much darker and thinner than before, as if he was a different person.

Going to sea is not an easy task, let alone sailing to a distant overseas place like Luzon, which is even more difficult.

"Master, join Your Majesty!"

After seeing Li Chengdao, Yue Fei immediately knelt down and said.

"Pengju, get up quickly."

Li Chengdao went directly to help Yue Fei up, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and said with a smile: "Peng Ju has worked really hard to come back from this long voyage. I will give you a big celebration banquet tonight!"

After hearing Li Chengdao's words, there was no joy on Yue Fei's face, and his expression was still heavy. He knelt down again, bowed his head deeply and said: "The general is incompetent and failed to complete your majesty's mission."

"what?"

Li Chengdao was slightly startled, not quite understanding the meaning of Yue Fei's words.

Yue Fei looked ashamed and said again: "Your Majesty asked me to look for the three crops. I searched all over Luzon but couldn't find them. I only found a fruit called banana. I am incompetent. Please Your Majesty punishes me!"

Ganjiao, also known as banana.

Yue Fei's answer shocked Li Chengdao. He couldn't find sweet potatoes, corn, or potatoes. How could this be possible? !

With Yue Fei's ability to do things and his meticulous and loyal character, Li Chengdao has no doubt that he did not search with all his heart, but really did not find it!

"These three crops are not available in Luzon..."

Li Chengdao took a deep breath and swayed slightly.

According to the information in his memory, these three crops were indeed introduced into the interior from the Philippines, but why not?

Could it be that at this time, these crops have not been introduced to Philubin from the west?

Li Chengdao's mind was spinning rapidly, beads of sweat could not help appearing on his forehead, and his mind gradually sank.

If these three crops are not found now, we will be in big trouble!

If we find crops that are drought-resistant and easy to ripen, such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, we can not only dispel rumors, but also allow people to plant them before winter. The harvested food will be enough to survive the winter, and we will no longer have to worry about famine in the future. and the threat of drought.

But now we have not found it. Instead, after the drought, the locust plague came. Not only the Guanzhong area was affected, but other places not affected by the drought were also threatened by the locust plague!

The food crisis is already imminent.

"I really made a stupid decision this time."

Li Chengdao smiled bitterly. He thought everything was under his control, but he never expected that Luzon did not have those three crops.

Giving up the seeds and choosing an army of 200,000 was undoubtedly the most wrong decision he made, and this decision would further affect millions of people, and even the entire Tang Dynasty!

These are all his fault!

Seeing Li Chengdao not speaking, Yue Fei felt even more ashamed. On the way back, he already knew the current situation in the country. The drought was accompanied by the locust plague, which made it worse.

The consequences and impact of not finding the three miraculous crops Li Chengdao mentioned are undoubtedly huge.

No matter what kind of punishment Li Chengdao gives him, it will not be too much!

As loyal as Yue Fei, he never considered whether those three crops were not available in Luzon. In his opinion, since Li Chengdao said they were there, they must be there, but he was just incompetent and failed to find them.

"Get up, Pengju, I don't blame you for this, it's my fault."

Li Chengdao exhaled a breath and said a little tiredly.

Yue Fei raised his head in disbelief and said: "Your Majesty! This matter is all due to General Mo's incompetence and failed to live up to Your Majesty's expectations. How can the fault be your Majesty's fault? General Mo knows His Majesty's benevolence, but..."

"It's my fault. There are no these three crops in Luzon. It's because I remembered it wrong. I'm guilty of all kinds of crimes! How can I put my mistake on you?"

Li Chengdao said in a deep voice with a firm gaze, "I am not a saint, and I will make mistakes. This time the fault is mine, not yours. Do you understand?"

"Pengju has worked hard on this trip, so go down and rest first."

After hearing Li Chengdao's words, Yue Fei hesitated to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything, bowed deeply and left the imperial study.

……

After leaving the Imperial Study Room, Yue Fei felt very heavy.

When he was leaving the palace, he happened to meet Jia Xu who was entering the palace, but he had no intention of saying hello and just passed by.

"and many more."

Jia Xu stopped and called out to Yue Fei.

"What's the matter? Tell me."

Yue Fei said directly with no expression on his face.

"I heard that you didn't find the three crops that His Majesty mentioned in Luzon?"

Jia Xu asked straight to the point. With the Shadow Guard in his hands, it would be easy to find out this information from the returning fleet.

Yue Fei was silent for a moment, nodded solemnly, and said: "Your Majesty's benevolence has not condemned me. Your Majesty said that he remembered wrongly. These three crops do not exist in Luzon. But I know that this is just your Majesty's comfort to me. My fault.”

"His Majesty also said that I am guilty and there are no excuses."

When Jia Xu heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.

Since ancient times, emperors have rarely admitted their mistakes.

I have always been guilty of doing things wrong, and the fault lies with me.

But Li Chengdao said that I am guilty and there is no way to blame!

It means that the king cannot let others suffer for his own mistakes.

How many emperors have been able to admit their mistakes throughout the ages?

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued an imperial edict on Luntai, which has been passed down through the ages.

Li Chengdao's move was the first of its kind for an emperor.

After a long time, Jia Xu came back to his senses and said to Yue Fei: "You are overthinking. Your Majesty has always made clear rewards and punishments. Since he said so, the fault really does not lie with you."

"But if we can't find these three crops, we will be in trouble now. The locust plague is everywhere now, and the rumors about His Majesty's incompetence are getting more and more popular among the people. Alas..."

"Who spread these rumors? I want to personally lead the troops to ask them!"

Yue Fei's eyes were sharp and his words were full of anger.

To be able to make Yue Fei, who has always been a kind-hearted person, become so violent shows how bad his mood is now.

"I don't need you to worry about it. I have already taken care of this matter. What I want to tell you is for you to make preparations. Since these three crops have not been found, your Majesty may have to make new moves recently, and you have to let some people take them." Just provide food."

Jia Xu said.

Yue Fei frowned, and after a moment of silence he said uncertainly: "You mean... aristocratic family?"

"As long as you know."

Jia Xu didn't say much, turned around and walked towards the palace.

Yue Fei watched Jia Xu leave. After a long time, he looked away, turned around and walked out of the palace.
