Chapter 45 was pit Li Chengqian
And just when Li Chengqian was still in the East Palace thinking about whether he was right or not, his emperor father, had already taken a group of ministers to the place outside the city where they had built a place to resettle the stragglers.
Those hungry numb eyes of the stragglers see a large number of convoys to them, thought it was someone to give porridge, are crazy to the wagon, until a large number of hundreds of riders guards block, only to stop, but the distant unaware of the stragglers are still a large number of people, instantly Li Shimin’s and those ministers of the convoy was surrounded by tens of thousands of stragglers.
”Everyone be quiet, welcome your majesty, long live the emperor, long live the emperor” Seeing that the stragglers were blocked by a hundred horsemen, Wang De shouted and then respectfully knelt down on the ground.
When the front of the crowd heard that the emperor had come, they all followed the shout and knelt down on the ground, while the back of the crowd heard that they all followed the front and knelt down on the ground and shouted “Long live the emperor”.
Soon except for Li Shimin who came down from the carriage, everyone knelt on the ground and shouted long live.
”All my people get up! I know you and others just want to live, but the sky does not meet the wishes of man, because of the locust plague ravaged, let you and others uprooted to Chang’an, just for a hope to live, now I give you and others this hope, but also give the world all the people hope, to the people to go to the field to catch a few locusts over” said Li Shimin ordered people to go to catch the locusts.
And although those stragglers do not know what the emperor is going to do, but heard the emperor told people to catch locusts, more or less some commotion, but Li Shimin did not care, but quietly watching, waiting for the guards to catch the locusts, and those ministers know what Li Shimin is going to do, so they also quietly watched, did not jump out to stop it as in history.
”This locust, before the crown prince told me, I also thought it was sent by heaven to punish me, but when the crown prince roasted the locusts, I realized that this is but a wormer” said Li Shimin, he was going to put the roasted locusts into his mouth.
And see this scene all the stragglers are kneeling down and shouted not to.
”Why not, this locusts and birds of prey, why you can not eat, locusts and other fruit food, you eat locusts wrapped abdomen, this is the will of God” said Li Shimin regardless of tens of thousands of displaced persons shouting, resolutely put the locusts into the mouth, chewed a few times repeatedly and swallowed, do not feel addicted to eat more than a few, and show the enjoyment of the expression.
And all the stragglers see their emperor his majesty not only really ate the locusts, but also show a look of enjoyment, and after a while is also fine, coupled with the emperor said before, many people believe that the locusts really can be eaten.
”You see, I’m fine, this locusts not only can wrap the abdomen, the taste is also good, a moment I will let the people open the grain, although not much, but you with this locusts will be able to return home safely, go back, you can catch locusts and a small amount of wild vegetables after drying and eat them together, and actively cooperate with the local government with the production of self-help, will be able to carry to the autumn grain under the ground, and I will be exempted from all the affected areas I will exempt all the affected areas from paying taxes today.”
The front of the stragglers heard Li Shimin’s words, excitedly passed backward, slowly everyone knew Li Shimin’s words, excitedly shouted hail there.
And some smart ones, after Li Shimin ate the first locusts, they immediately ran to the nearby places with locusts, grabbed a lot of locusts, raised the fire and roasted them, and this change, soon got contagious, and all people went to grab the locusts to go.
After the show Li Shimin in the arrangement of people specifically responsible for this time, took a look at the people who are catching locusts around, and then led the people back to the palace.
Back to the palace, Li Shimin hoofed it towards the east palace, he wanted to beat up that sinful son at this moment, but before he could go, he was stopped by Changsun Wuyin who had been waiting for him “Second brother, forget it, since Gao Ming doesn’t want to be the crown prince of this one, then let him go!”
”Guanyin maidservant, how could you think like this, he is the first eldest son, this throne was meant to be passed on to him” Li Shimin’s words just left his mouth, he could not wait to give himself two mouths, because his throne was snatched from his elder brother.
”Second brother, high bright their situation and then different, you are now in the prime of life, the throne has no one to sit, are the same, and so in a few years, this brat made a point of merit, in the let him back to be the crown prince is not on the line, and there are LiQi them in, you are afraid that he is not on the side of the clever ChangSunWuXian know LiShiMin heart think What, immediately change the topic.
”Yes, there is Li quality they in ah, and he is not too much constraints on the position of the crown prince! Then I don’t care about him, let him go out to play for two years, but this crown prince position still let him sit, wait for a few years when he is big, I will catch him back” Hearing his wife’s words, Li Shimin’s eyes lit up.
And at this moment really in for their old lady that silent expression of God hurt Li Chengqian, completely unaware, their old man and old lady, is counting on him.
Until Zhang Gao came back in the evening, Li Chengqian only recovered, after all, he still had things to do.
”Your Highness, the old slave is back, the things you want the old slave also brought, those few blacksmiths were also sent by the old slave to Sun Lou, let the people look after it” Zhang Gao came back, immediately ran to see Li Chengqian.
”You do things, I don’t worry, now I have one thing for you to do, that is, while the stragglers outside the city are still not gone, you go to find some eleven or twelve year old boys back for this king among the stragglers, the number will be about 500, this is not urgent, you stay in Chang’an and slowly look for them, but you must remember that these people must have a clean family history, preferably orphans, find all of them, and you take them with you to Luoyang to find the king, the king has a big use, and this time, the matter of Chang’an to arrange good, go busy” finished Li Chengqian let Zhang Gao go down.
To be Zhang Gao down, Li Chengqian order Zhang Gao good things out, looking at the horseback riding necessary 3 sets, Li Chengqian grimly smiled.
Then let Xia Ju loaded the things, with things out of the palace to find the little fat man Li Tai went.
”Xia Ju, go call the door” Looking at the little fat man’s Yue Wang Fu, Li Chengqian liked it, although it is not as big as the East Palace, but it is better than the peace and quiet.
When the housekeeper hurriedly ran to tell little fat Li Tai that his big brother came, he put down the book in his hand and got up to go to the door to greet him.
”Big brother, how did you think of coming to my place” Seeing his big brother, Li Tai’s heart jumped for no reason.
”This is not your brother I was punished by our father to go to Luoyang! These two years can not return to Chang’an, big brother thought to come to see you, how not let me go in to sit down” finished Li Chengqian looked at the little fat Li Tai.
”How can this be, big brother quickly please” finished Li Tai hurriedly Li Chengqian welcome in.
”Big brother, you just say it straight, in the end what is the matter” and so on to the lobby, Li Tai puzzled to look at his big brother.
”You are really anxious, that this is for you, some information about the principle of leverage, this is your brother me, a few days ago to write, there is this, inside the thing, you wait for brother to go, after a year to, you take it to our father, remember that this thing to our father, must not say that is I give you, as for how to come, casually you all over, said it is a white-bearded old grandpa to you, or someone to offer to you, and you will not be able to say that I gave you. Li Chengqian repeatedly explained when he handed the 3-piece set to Li Tai.
”Big brother, this thing in the end is what ah, you will not be to harm me right” Li Tai skeptical look at his big brother.
”I harm you a big head of hell, I am your own brother can still harm you, the other you don’t ask more, when finished, brother in give you a good thing” Hearing Li Tai’s words, Li Chengqian is very nonchalant to give Li Tai on the door of the head.
”Big brother, pain, but brother, you want to give me a good thing is what” Li Tai ate the pain, screamed, and then asked curiously.
”Why ask so much, when the time comes you will know, and tomorrow you teach the housekeeper to find Zhang Gao, let Zhang Gao send you a set of better furniture over, what kind of crappy stuff you have here ah, and tomorrow I will let a cook come over, to save you from running to me every day to dabble in the food, well I’ll go first” after saying this, Li Chengqian left the little fat man with his people Li Tai’s Yue Wang Fu.
Send his big brother out the door, although Li Tai is still very skeptical that his big brother is not going to pit himself, but when he saw those information on the principle of leverage, he put it behind him.
