Li Shimin heard that.
He flung his sleeves and put his hands behind his back, looking unfathomable.
"Of course, I have my own channels. You don't have to doubt the authenticity of these two incidents. The final result is in your hands!"
Everyone was enlightened.
Five days ago.
The Emperor had left the palace incognito.
When he returned to the imperial city, Cheng Yaojin hurriedly left with the Emperor's handwritten order.
It turned out that the Emperor had already known about this matter five days ago!
Everyone could not help but feel embarrassed.
They looked at Li Shimin and felt that he was becoming more and more mysterious.
Everyone knew the importance of this news.
However, they were still shocked that the Emperor had already known about it five days ago!
Was he a prophet?
After all, the three provinces and six ministries were in charge of all the information centers of the Tang Dynasty.
The Emperor had learned about these two major incidents without the knowledge of the three provinces and six ministries!
"Your Majesty, I understand now. The locusts in Longyou Circuit might be able to be prevented … But with the locusts in Tubo and Tuyuhun, could it be the plague of locusts you mentioned?"
Fang Xuanling thought for a while and asked in horror.
"That's right. If the locusts in these three places converge, then … it will be a real disaster!"
Li Shimin's voice was grave.
"I heard that the Milky Way in Tubo has dried up. Even the grass and bark in Tuyuhun have been eaten clean! Longyou Circuit borders these two countries, and the quality of the soil is the same. What does it mean that the people in Tuyuhun are eating the bark and grass? "
"It means that the disaster there is particularly serious!"
"Therefore, if there is a plague of locusts, where will they go first?"
Everyone was horrified.
They could not help but think of the Tang Dynasty!
If locusts had erupted in the surrounding areas, then the Tang Dynasty would be in danger!
"That's not right! Your Majesty, in terms of geography, the Turks are the closest to here. Why do you think the locusts will come to the Tang Dynasty? "
Li Shimin smiled mysteriously.
"This is the third thing I want to say, and also the most important thing!"
"According to reliable sources, the Iron Mountain Ridge of the Turkic Khaganate suffered a rare snowstorm, killing countless cows and sheep!"
"Do you think that there would be food for locusts on the steppe of the Turks at that time?"
Boom —!
Everyone was aghast.
Every word Li Shimin said was like a heavy hammer, striking everyone's eardrums.
A snow disaster that was hard to come by in a hundred years!
This …
How could this be?
Heavens!
Where did the emperor's news come from?
However, the Emperor had said that he had his own channels, so they didn't want to guess too much.
Li Shimin calmly took a sip of tea.
He asked in a deep voice, "My dear ministers, the most important task now is to prevent the locust plague. Also, I have a way to get rid of the locust plague. I can even sell this method to Tubo and Tuyuhun in exchange for the resources we need. What do you think?"
"As for the matter of the Turks, let's wait and see."
"Huh?"
Everyone was stunned.
There was a way to solve the problem?
However, the next moment, everyone understood.
If the emperor could get the information in advance, he must have a way to solve the problem!
Everyone clasped their hands together and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Actually, what could Li Shimin do?
He just thought of Zhang Feng at this moment.
If Zhang Feng could prepare in advance, he must have a way to solve this crisis!
Li Shimin's eyes burned when he thought of Zhang Feng.
With a wave of his hand, Zhangsun Wuji passed the two secret reports to everyone. Then, he said, "Li Yuanjing and Li Jing, come in!"
"Prince Li Yuanjing and General Li Jing, come in!"
The eunuch's voice rang out.
The next moment.
The two of them hurriedly appeared in the study.
Zhangsun Wuji recounted what happened to the two of them. Then, Li Shimin ordered.
"Li Yuanjing, hear the decree!"
"Your Majesty, hear the decree!"
"Immediately think of a way to solve the problem of the eggs in the ground. Kill the eggs before the locust plague breaks out! At the same time, keep an eye on the movements of Tubo and Tuyuhun. If possible, use something of equal value to exchange for the method to kill the eggs! "
"Your Majesty, hear the decree!"
"Your Majesty, hear the decree!"
"Your Majesty, hear the decree!"
"Immediately send out the elites of the Tang Dynasty to guard the borders of Youzhou and Hulao Pass. Guard against the Turks!"
"Your Majesty, hear the decree!"
After settling all this, Li Shimin let out a deep sigh.
It was time to go to the tavern and try the better wine that Zhang Feng mentioned!
These days, Li Shimin had been craving it.
If not for these trivial matters, he would have gone to the tavern long ago …
…
Just as Li Shimin thought of Zhang Feng …
In the tavern.
Zhang Feng, who was running the tavern step by step, panicked when he saw the sudden increase in the number of officials who did not belong to Chang 'an City and the increasing number of secret agents.
He had serious doubts.
Could it be that Lao Li and Zhangsun Wuji had a slip of the tongue after drinking and spread what he had said earlier?
Otherwise, why would there be chess and card officials or messengers on the streets every day? Why would the merchants of Tubo and Tuyuhun who were originally in Chang 'an City disappear without a trace?
This was not right!
Except for the emperor. After learning about what he had said earlier, Zhang Feng was devastated. He could not figure out why this happened!
He pondered for a while.
Zhang Feng swore to himself.
"I have to be more careful with what I say next time! Otherwise, I will lose my life sooner or later! "
