Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 131: Frankly
Under the big tree outside the small courtyard of the Han family.
The old and the young are silent.
In the end Qin Qiong broke the calm, he looked up at the sky and said:
"It's getting late, call Shangzhijie, let's go back to Chang'an."
After saying this, he walked to the courtyard gate, leaving a depressed back.
Li Zexuan looked at this old man who had been fighting for the country all his life. He couldn't bear it. Seeing that Qin Qiong was about to walk to the courtyard gate, he said: "Uncle Qin stay, my nephew tells you the truth!"
Qin Qiong suddenly turned around and walked over. He looked at Li Zexuan and nodded with satisfaction. After saying "good boy", he stood quietly aside and listened to Li Zexuan's words.
Li Zexuan pondered for a moment and said: "Uncle Qin, in fact, the reason why I raise so many chickens is mainly because of a prophecy left by my master during his lifetime. My master said that next June, there will be a An unprecedented plague of locusts............"
…………
As Li Zexuan said, Qin Qiong's face became more and more serious. After Li Zexuan finished the rhetoric he had said to his father that night, Qin Qiong was so ugly that he couldn't help it anymore and pointed at Li Zexuan. Road:
"Zhuzi! Why don't you tell your majesty earlier for such a big thing, and you can bear to watch the people of other states and counties starve to death when the locust plague comes? The old man discovered that you Li Zexuan was like this today. Hard-hearted, what good is it for you to let the people starve to death? Do you really want to be a fairy?"
Qin Qiong's words were all words of heartbreaking, and Li Zexuan was immediately stabbed and bruised. He thought about all the efforts he had made in the past few months, but was finally criticized by Qin Qiong as selfishness. The grievance and anger in his heart Suddenly it gushes out, can't help it anymore, and roars:
"Will you be a kid willing to conceal it? If your nephew tells your majesty the truth, how can your majesty believe me? Maybe he will sin against my family and hurt my nephew's parents. In addition, once this matter comes out, it will surely arouse the people. Panic, when countless people are frantically looting food, it will surely lead to soaring food prices and public grievances. How can my nephew bear this charge?"
Qin Qiong's face was startled when he heard this, Li Zexuan took a sigh of relief and continued:
"The locust plague is just my master’s prophecy. If the locust plague does not come, wouldn’t the world worry about it for nothing? My nephew will be pointed at by thousands of husbands and be infamous forever. I’m fine. My master lived in seclusion and became a wild crane, but what about my parents? They will continue to live in the land of Datang. And do you really think that my nephew bears the heart to watch the people suffer? If it is really true In this way, why bother to raise 150,000 chicken fry in Hanjiazhuang and Meicun? Are you a hard-hearted kid? My nephew, like you, loves the land of Datang, the people of Datang, my nephew I really want to save them..."
After Li Zexuan finished speaking, he took a long sigh of relief, leaned slumped against the tree trunk, closed his eyes, and stopped speaking. If you look closely, you can see that tears are flashing in his eyes at this time.
Qin Qiong stood on the spot, her complexion, a change of expression, and finally sighed, walked over and patted Li Zexuan's shoulder gently, and said:
"Xiaoxuan, the old man just misunderstood you, don't take it to heart."
Li Zexuan hurriedly said: "What Uncle Qin said, I know that you are always truly serving the country and the people and caring for the people. The tone of your nephew just now is very offensive, and I hope you don't be familiar with your nephew! "
The locust plague in his heart has been suppressed for a long time. He knows that what he is doing can only save a part of the people. By then, there will still be thousands of people suffering. He is also very uncomfortable, but he There is no other way, whether he is selfish or cold-blooded, he must first consider his family before doing things. Today, I finally found someone to vent it, but was accused of a meal, and the negative emotions that had been suppressed for a long time burst out. At this moment, although he felt more comfortable in his heart, he also realized that his tone was too aggressive just now.
Qin Qiong shook his head and said: "It's normal for young people to be angry, and the old man will not blame you. It's just Xiaoxuan, is there really no other way?"
Li Zexuan thought for a while, and replied: "The locust plagues since ancient times, the kings of the past have been at a loss? The kid also wants to save more people, but the little nephew's ability is limited, there is really no other way."
Qin Qiong was silent for a long time and sighed deeply. At this moment, he seemed to be ten years old again. Seeing him angrily pounding the tree trunk, he was unwilling to say: "The old man will draft a secret book when he goes back today and present it to your majesty tomorrow. If your majesty has any blame, the old man will bear it!"
Li Zexuan was shocked and waved his hand to stop him: "Never! The locust plague is only a prediction, and there is no conclusive evidence. Please also ask Uncle Qin to think twice, don't be impulsive!"
Qin Qiong shook his head and said, "Xiaoxuan, this kind of thing is better to be trusted than to be trusted. Otherwise, when the locust plague really comes, all we can do is wait for death. Moreover, this year's weather is like this. It’s abnormal. It’s so hot just in May. The old man estimates that 80% of this year will be severe drought. After the so-called severe drought, there will be large locusts. Your master’s prediction may not be unreasonable. After all, your power alone is limited. If you want to save me All the people of Datang must rely on the power of the court."
"But..."
Li Zexuan wanted to continue to dissuade him, but was interrupted by Qin Qiong waved his hand.
"Xiaoxuan, you don't have to persuade you anymore. The old man has finally seen peace in the world and the people live and work in peace and contentment. He will never see them starving to death because of the locust plague~IndoMTL.com~The old man's hands are already Stained with countless blood, he should have been taken away by God and fell into reincarnation. Now he can do some practical things for the people with his incomplete body, even if he is accused of crimes by his Majesty, or accused by thousands of people, the old man has no regrets! "
Li Zexuan was moved by the old man's sad words. He felt that he was so small compared to Qin Qiong at the moment. At this time, he felt that a man should be as responsible as Qin Qiong, so he said:
"Uncle Qin, this matter happened because of me. How can you bear it? Uncle Qin, please report to your majesty. If your majesty is held accountable, my nephew will share it with you!"
Qin Qiong said in surprise: "How does this make, Xiaoxuan, you are still young, and there is still a long way to go. Don't be arrogant."
Li Zexuan said firmly: "My nephew is not arrogant. This is a decision I made carefully. If Uncle Qin does not agree, my nephew will write to your majesty alone!"
Qin Shubao saw that Li Zexuan had made up his mind, so he nodded and said: "Well, the old man is in the secret compromise, and also write your name, you and I, jointly write the letter. Now it’s getting late, call Shangzhijie. Let's go back to the city!"
………
Li Zexuan returned to the courtyard and found Han Yuxi waiting for him in the courtyard, so he smiled at her and signaled that he was okay.
Cheng Yaojin sat in the yard, squinting his eyes slightly, he probably hadn't fully recovered. I didn't see Han Lizheng, he was probably still drunk.
Li Zexuan said a few words to Han Yuxi in the past, and again asked her to be careful when entering the city tomorrow.
Then he pulled up Cheng Yaojin, who was a little sober, and went to call Hu Jingran's sister and brother. Anyway, they were only two children and they weren't too heavy. One person would just sit on one more immediately.
In this way, five people rode three times, fought horses and left Hanjiazhuang, and drove towards Chang'an City in the sunset.
