"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is bad!"
"Longyou Dao, Longyou Dao …"
"Drought!"
Cheng Yaojin entered Taiji Palace, panting.
When the voice died down.
Li Shimin's eyes flashed with a trace of horror.
"What's going on in Longyou Dao?"
Cheng Yaojin grabbed a pot of tea on the desk that had been there for a long time, gulped down a mouthful, and then said, "Longyou Dao is in Longyou Dao.
"There is a drought in Longyou Circuit, and the land is barren for thousands of miles. Moreover, it is just as Shopkeeper Little Zhang said. When the hoe is used, there are locust eggs everywhere! "There are even victims fighting to eat the eggs …"
"What!?"
Li Shimin's head exploded with a buzz.
He quickly stepped forward and shouted, "Where are the documents? Quick, give me the documents! "
Li Shimin grabbed a thick stack of documents from Cheng Yaojin's hands. He took a deep breath and opened them one by one.
"In Longyou Dao, Tonggu County of Chengzhou, Tianshui County of Qinzhou, Wuzhou, Ganzhou, and Shazhou, the ground water is almost dry. Even the underground water has dried up! In the soil, there are ten eggs in every inch of soil! "
"A large number of livestock died of thirst in Yiwu County of Yizhou and Jiaohe County of Xizhou. Some people even dug out the eggs and cooked them …"
Li Shimin was shocked.
Looking at the contents of the documents, he couldn't help but feel a clap of thunder in his mind.
"God! It's true! It's true! There are really eggs! "
"The shopkeeper's god? He can even guess this … "
"Wuji, Yaojin, do you think there are really immortals in this world? Or, can anyone really predict the future? "
Cheng Yaojin was about to deny it.
But when he thought of Zhang Feng's mysteriousness and the results of this investigation, he didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Zhangsun Wuji pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, there shouldn't be any immortals in this world … Perhaps Shopkeeper Little Zhang used some unknown means and channels to get the information."
Li Shimin shook his head noncommittally.
He took a deep breath and temporarily put down everything in his heart. He rubbed his forehead and said, "This is a serious matter. Wuji, summon Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, and Du Ruhui immediately to my study for a discussion!"
"Commandery Prince Li Yuanjing and Li Jing of Longyou Dao!"
Zhangsun Wuji also knew the severity of this matter. He clasped his fists and left in a hurry.
"Your Majesty!"
…
A moment later.
Taiji Palace side hall, Li Shimin's study.
Everyone looked at Li Shimin and the other two with a puzzled expression.
Li Shimin waved his hand and had everyone sit down.
"There, there, there are three important matters matters of Yan Dao Zhou.
"The first thing is the drought in Longyou Circuit. There might be a large-scale locust plague in the near future!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard Li Shimin's words.
They all knew about the drought in Longyou Dao Zhou. During this period of time, everyone had been busy trying to solve the problem.
But why was there a locust plague now?
"Your Majesty, this matter … is not reliable, is it? How could there be a locust plague here? "
"Moreover, I just returned from Longyou Dao Zhou. I didn't hear about any locust plague. I didn't even see a single locust!"
"I've heard about this as well. Although there are indeed locust eggs in the ground, how can there be no locust eggs in all the soil in the world?"
"It's a question whether these locust eggs can even hatch in such a high temperature. How could there be a locust plague?"
"That's right! There are locust swarms every year. How could there be a locust plague this year? "
Everyone couldn't help but start chattering among themselves.
Li Shimin waved his hand slightly.
"Have any of you personally dug up the soil and looked at the locust eggs? Yaojin, tell us what you saw! "
Cheng Yaojin's voice was serious when he heard this.
"Previously, I went to Longyou Dao Zhou to investigate under the Emperor's secret order. I found a large number of locust eggs in the soil of Shazhou, Ganzhou, and other places. In some places, I dug up a bowl of locust eggs in a piece of land the size of a dustpan!"
"What?! There are so many? "
"That's not right! These can't be locust eggs, right? "
"This … a bowl … Hiss!"
Cheng Yaojin glared at everyone.
He waved his hand and threw the documents on the table to everyone. They hurriedly went through them.
The more they read, the more serious their expressions became.
Li Shimin continued, "This is only one of the reasons. Do you know how long it has been since there was news of Tubo and Tuyuhun?"
Fang Xuanling thought for a moment.
"Your Majesty, there has been no news of Tubo and Tuyuhun since the 21st of last month. Could this have something to do with the locust plague that you mentioned?"
"That's right!"
"Tuyuhun and Tubo are facing the same problem as Longyou Dao Zhou! Drought! The problem seems to be more serious than the one in the Tang Dynasty. They are blocking the news! "
"What?!"
"No wonder! No wonder! "
"Your Majesty, this is our chance!"
"If we send our troops now, we will be able to take down Tubo and Tuyuhun!"
Li Shimin nodded.
"You are right. If Tubo and Tuyuhun knew about the drought in Longyou Dao Zhou, they would think the same!"
"…"
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this.
No wonder the communication between the Tubo and Tuyuhun spies was suddenly cut off. It was because they were trying to block the news!
However, Li Shimin continued, "Not only that, I know that there will be a locust plague in Tubo and Tuyuhun! When that happens, the Tang Dynasty will be in danger! "
Instantly.
Everyone's heart trembled.
Didn't Tubo and Tuyuhun block the news?
They didn't even know about the drought in Tubo. How did the Emperor know about it?
Where did His Majesty get the news? '
Until now, everyone was still doubting the authenticity of these two things.
Wei Zheng, who had been silent all this time, asked leisurely, "Your Majesty, where did Your Majesty get these documents and news? Why didn't we receive any news? "
