I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 335 Li Er is Angry!What about Xu Fenglei?It seems that he still can't afford the word grand master!
The spark ignited, and the rapeseed oil in the pot slowly heated up, emitting a plume of smoke.

"My lord, what are you doing here?"

Yan Lide asked doubtfully,

"Your Majesty and the princes are cutting and killing locusts, but you set up a stove here."

"Is this a bit..."

In his mind, as the emperor's confidant and important minister, he should be in step with His Majesty and fight on the front line.

This is definitely a good opportunity to gain popularity!
I'm not an important minister, I don't have the qualifications yet...

But the minister did not take the usual path. Compared with the hard-working emperor, he seemed a little leisurely...

"I have my own thoughts."

Xu Fenglei fiddled with the condiments and said casually,

"Your Majesty treats the symptoms, so let's try to cure the root cause. Otherwise, this is nothing more than a show. After the emperor leaves, locusts will be left behind, and the people will still suffer."

"What's the use?"

When Yan Lide heard the words, he cupped his hands slightly and said no more.

Bu Zun always has unexpected ideas, which he cannot keep up with.

……

The locusts flew up and down, and every time Li Shimin swung his sword vigorously, he could cut off a large piece of it!

But in the next second, those chopped locusts branched out again. Except for a few unlucky ones that were cut in two, the rest were only slightly injured. They flew even more crazily from the low ground !
"Die, die, die!"

Li Er's eyes were red, and he frantically waved the sword in his hand.

The feeling of being able to do my best has slowly emerged.

At this moment, he could understand the despair of the farmers.

Being in this swarm of locusts is like being alone surrounded by hundreds of thousands of enemy troops!
Even if there is monstrous strength, there will be a moment when it is exhausted.

And the "enemy army" doesn't care about you at all, they will eventually win a crushing victory, even if you are the so-called God of War.

woohoo!

Whoa whoa whoa!
Beside him, Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin, and a team of Imperial Guards used their swords more frequently.

Under their feet, locust corpses were already piled up, like grain piles.

However, even if they were as fierce as them, they had already started to pant at this moment.

Snapped!
A locust fluttered onto Yu Chigong's face and stuck to his nostrils.

"roll!"

Yuchi Gong raised his hand to wipe it, and slammed it to the ground.

But in the next second, the locust flew up again and circled above his head.

"Damn!"

Yu Chigong couldn't help but said rudely,
"This locust is really disgusting! I would rather face an army of tens of thousands and go head-to-head with Turkic wolf riders than fight against this disgusting thing!"

"It can't be killed at all!"

The rest of the people all nodded.

Just these people, killing them here for a few days and nights will not be enough!
"I...I can't do it, I can't..."

The long sword in Changsun Wuji's hand fell to the ground, holding his head and panting,

"I'm exhausted, I can't cut anymore..."

"Cough! Cough-cough-cough..."

A locust flew towards his mouth while he was talking, scaring Changsun Wuji to spit quickly, with goosebumps all over his body.
too disgusting!

If it wasn't for following the emperor, he would never want to face locusts in his life!

Looking at the rest of the people, Fang Du and others were similar, their faces turned pale, and they were on the verge of exhaustion.

"Your Majesty, there is no way to go on like this..."

Hou Junji persuaded,
"The locusts are poisonous, we are not strong enough, be careful not to be hurt by the poisonous insects!"

"Quickly avoid it! Leave the rest to the soldiers."

Li Shimin looked at the swarm of insects all over the sky, his eyelids drooped, and he sighed deeply.

"How hard life is for the people..."

Grabbing a flopping locust casually, he murmured,

While speaking, someone suddenly shouted:

"Your Majesty, look, the locusts have retreated!"

Li Shimin suddenly raised his head!
I saw that the locust swarm suddenly began to change direction and flew towards the east.

In just a moment, it has already flown into the distance.

"Your Majesty, we have won, we have repelled the locusts!"

Changsun Wuji shouted excitedly,

"We won!"

This sentence cheered up the minds of everyone present, and they all smiled.

"What is the victory? It's just that the crops in the farmland here have been eaten up, and they are going to destroy the next crop."

Li Shimin looked at the bare field ridges, smiled wryly,

"It's not that we won, it's that they didn't accompany us."

As soon as this remark came out, the smiles on everyone's faces stopped abruptly.

In the next moment, everyone was silent, and the atmosphere was a little depressed.

Yes.

It's not that they won, but that the locusts don't want to play anymore.

This is really a blow to confidence...

"...No matter how you say it, His Majesty led us to repel the locust army."

Fang Xuanling forced a smile and said,
"At least, I can give the people an explanation."

"Your Majesty, let's go back..."

Swish.

Li Shimin put the sword back into its sheath, pinched the locust in his hand expressionlessly, and walked towards the city gate.

wow wow.

In the farmland, two thick layers of locust corpses have already accumulated.

A few farmers sat on the ridge of the field in a daze, staring at their own farmland with nothing left.

gone, all gone...

Li Shimin walked slowly, then stopped suddenly, and said lightly:
"Where's Xu Fenglei?"

"Uh... Back to Your Majesty, Mr. Xu doesn't seem to be here." Hou Junji, who was beside him, was taken aback for a moment, but immediately came to his senses and responded.

Li Shimin looked indifferent.

"I and all my lovers are fighting bravely to kill locusts, but it's good for him to hide."

He snorted coldly,

"Ah……"

"Sure enough, to understand a person, one should not listen to what he says, but to see what he does! It seems that he still can't afford the word grand master!"

"Let's go! Go back!"

"This one scene is far from enough to explain to the common people!"

Li Er was really a little angry at the moment.

Although you, Xu Fenglei, are not a military general and have little strength, didn't Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui join in?

Even if you cut it twice at the same time, it will do.Don't you even want to put on a pose for a show?

In his opinion, Xu Fenglei's attitude is purely a matter of attitude!

The expressions of all the ministers behind him changed.

Your Majesty's words are very serious!Originally, it was tacitly agreed that Xu Fenglei would become the crown prince and grand teacher, but after today's incident... will something change?
Du Ruhui opened his mouth, wanting to defend Xu Fenglei twice, but he didn't know what to say.

He himself wondered.

Logically speaking, Mr. Xu is a smart man, so he shouldn't make such a low-level political mistake!

Does he have a plan of his own?
hope so……

A group of people remained silent and returned to the gate of the city.

Thousands of people still knelt on the ground, but they looked at Li Shimin with reverence!

"Your Majesty has returned from repelling the locusts!"

"The emperor is mighty, the emperor is brave!"

"Long live Your Majesty, Long live King Qin!"

In an instant, the common people shouted long live, welcoming Li Shimin's "triumphal" return!

Those who had scolded the emperor before all started shouting together at the moment.

However, Li Shimin shook his head, only to hear him lament:

"My people... I, I'm sorry for you!"
