Chapter 246: Li Tai and Yuan Tiangang's bet

Seeing the back of Li Yuan's departure, Li Shimin's heart at this time had already set off turbulent waves. He didn't expect that Li Yuan would have such a heart-to-heart chat with him today.

Today's heart-to-heart conversation between father and son made Li Shimin finally move the stone that had been pressed in his heart. This also strengthened Li Shimin's thoughts.

"My father is right, the throne needs someone who is suitable for him. And as long as this person is a descendant of the surname Li, he can keep the inheritance of the Li family. As for who this descendant of the Li family is, is it really that important? Li Shimin said to himself.

……

Time is never left behind, and in the blink of an eye, it is around July. During this period, Li Shimin's attitude towards Li Chengqian and Li Tai has changed greatly.

The open and secret battle between the two is even more blind to one eye. At this time, what Li Shimin cares about most is the eldest grandson Wuji. Because the eldest grandson is about to give birth.

At this time, there was a locust plague in the world, and the entire surrounding area of Chang'an City had been eaten by locusts. Although people have surplus food at home, it is absolutely impossible to survive the long winter.

Sure enough, as Li Tai expected, the area covered by this locust plague was not around Chang'an City. The affected area reached more than a dozen nearby states and counties.

It can be said that for a time, the victims of the disaster all over the world were scattered, and in order to escape a way out, the victims poured into Chang'an City. This incident also alarmed Taizong Li Shimin.

Li Shimin set himself in the imperial garden to devour locusts to show his determination and attitude towards the control of the locust plague. and sent Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui to help the victims.

These two bosses are both impartial law enforcement and dedicated to the country. What they did was fair and just, and the victims were resettled as they deserved.

And in history, it was precisely because of the disaster relief efforts of Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling that this locust plague covering more than a dozen states and counties was quelled.

"My lord, now the emperor has sent Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling to help the victims. Most of the people who poured into Chang'an were appeased. Li Chunfeng said to Li Tai.

"After this locust plague, Datang's national strength will be weakened. It is inevitable that some ill-intentioned people will take the opportunity to cause trouble. Those alien races around my Datang Kingdom are also very likely to take advantage of the situation. Yuan Tiangang on the side said.

"Lord, what Brother Yuan Dao said is true, if this matter is not handled properly. It will bring a lot of trouble to Datang. From ancient times to great disasters, there will be great chaos, and when the people are hungry, as long as someone has a stirrup. There is a possibility that the world will be in chaos again. "Li Chunfeng said that it was even more terrible than Yuan Tiangang.

But what the two said was not nonsense. Because several large-scale uprisings in history were caused by natural disasters.

"My father sent Du Rucheng and Fang Xuanling to be responsible for disaster relief, so there will definitely not be too much chaos. After all, with the ability of the two of them, they can definitely deal with this. Li Tai said.

Li Taike knew that this locust plague in history was under the guidance of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui under the guidance of the earthquake, and there was no danger.

"Doesn't King Wei want to do something for the people of the world? Poor Dao felt that King Wei should not be that kind of person. Yuan Tiangang said to Li Tai with a smile.

"The Taoist chief is right, this king must not only do something for the people of the world, but also let the people affected by the disaster have no worries about food and clothing." Li Tai said confidently.

"King Wei, let the people of the world have food to cover their stomachs, and I believe you can do it. But so that the people of the world have no worries about food and clothing, King Wei's tone is inevitably a little too big. Yuan Tiangang looked at Li Tai and said.

"Dao Chief, why don't you make a bet with you? If the king loses, he is willing to agree to any conditions of the Taoist chief. Li Tai said to Yuan Tiangang with a smile.

"If the King of Wei can do it, Poor Dao is willing to recognize the King of Wei as the master." Yuan Tiangang got up and said after slapping Li Tai.

"Well, a gentleman is hard to chase after a horse. Sir, it's up to you to be the mediator. Li Tai also got up and said.

"I, Li Chunfeng, am willing to sit in this middle guard, after all, being able to serve the same master with Brother Yuan Dao can be regarded as a fate." Li Chunfeng said with a laugh.

"Okay, this king will arrange it now." After Li Tai finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.

As soon as Li Tai walked out, Yuan Tiangang smiled and asked Li Chunfeng, "Are you really so confident that you think King Wei will definitely win?" ”

"Don't Brother Yuan Dao think so?" Li Chunfeng said with a smile, then turned around and left with Li Taiye.

Looking at the two who left, Yuan Tiangang said with a smile: "Yes, how can you not know that the poor road can do it?" ”

……

Wei Wangfu Yin'an Palace.

"Today, I will bring you generals, and this king has something important to explain. Today, more than a dozen prefectures and counties around Chang'an City are plagued by locusts. As the king of Wei in the imperial court, he naturally couldn't stand by and watch. Li Tai opened his mouth and said to everyone.

"We are willing to follow the orders of the King of Wei and ask the King of Wei to send them." Everyone got up and said to Li Tai.

"Zou Fengchi listened to the order, and this king ordered to transfer grain from all the shops in the Thirty-third Heaven, and then hand over all the allocated grain to Mr. He was assigned to each of the affected state capitals. Li Tai said to Zou Fengchi.

"Rest assured, my lord, I will definitely give you peace of mind." Zou Fengchi got up and said to Li Tai.

"Xu Liang, you take out some grain from the granary of the forbidden army of King Wei and immediately set up a disaster relief point outside Chang'an City. Provide food and lodging for the victims so that they do not continue to flood into Chang'an. Li Tai said to Xu Liang.

"No, I'll arrange it right away. Outside Chang'an City early tomorrow morning, there will definitely be our disaster relief point. Xu Liang got up and clenched his fist at Li Tai and said.

"Cheng Yanjin, you lead the Four Spirit Qilin Army to be responsible for maintaining order. And the king's royal gift is still in the disaster relief point. If someone takes the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, they can be killed. After Li Tai finished speaking, he took out his imperial gift and handed it to Cheng Tieniu.

After Cheng Tieniu took Shang Fang's gong, he saluted Li Tai and said, "Please rest assured, my Four Spirit Qilin Army will definitely protect this earthquake disaster." ”

"Luo Tong, Qin Huaiyu, Yu Chi Baolin, Yu Chi Baoqing, the four of you will take the people of the headquarters to the prefectures and counties near Chang'an City to open disaster relief points. The food needed for disaster relief was collected from Mr. Li Tai said to Luo Tong and others.

The four of them hurriedly got up and saluted Li Tai and said, "We will leave tomorrow, please rest assured." ”

"Sir, you are in charge of all the food allocations. Remember, every relief site must not only have food, but also bacon. Li Tai Li Chunfeng said.

"To this day, I can understand why King Wei bought grain and bacon on a large scale. It turned out that King Wei had already calculated that there would be this catastrophe this year. Li Chunfeng got up and said with a laugh.

"The gentleman praised falsely, although the king saw a little difference in the heavens. But there's no doubt that there's a catastrophe. The materials that the king hoarded were also just for emergency needs. Li Tai said after waving his hand.
