Three days later.

He rode a fast horse and rushed into Xijing and looked directly at the palace! The rider was extremely anxious. Before he arrived at the palace, he turned over and dismounted, took out a token, and said in his almost angry voice: "The urgent case in Yuzhou must be submitted to the emperor immediately, and a hundred thousand are urgent!"

At the palace gate, a guard took the letter and immediately turned around and ran towards the Hall of Shame.

Soon, the guards had already arrived in front of the Shame-Talk Hall and handed the letter to the eunuch in front of the hall, saying, "A hundred thousand times is urgent, Yuzhou's urgent documents must be submitted to the emperor immediately!"

When the eunuch Xiao Qinzi heard this, he hurriedly took it, then quickly walked into the hall and said, "Master, Yuzhou is urgent!"

now.

In the Hall of Shame.

Emperor Jianye was reviewing the memorials. When he heard this, he suddenly raised his eyes. A gloomy look flashed in his eyes. He put down all the memorials in his hand and said, "Take it to me!"

"In addition, I will immediately go to the right prime minister, Li Fan, Wen Wuxian, and Wen Baishan and several others!"

He had not seen the content in the letter yet, but he had already had a premonition, so he was unwilling to delay for a quarter of an hour.

Xiao Qinzi hurriedly nodded and left.

Emperor Jianye opened the envelope, and when he scanned the contents of the letter, his face completely sank!...For a while.

Several carriages arrived quickly.

Li Wen and Li Fan arrived almost at the same time.

When Li Wen saw Li Fan, he asked directly while walking, and said, "I heard that the emperor summoned me to wait because he was in urgent need of a case in Yuzhou.

Li Junke knows what happened?"

Li Fan said in a deep voice: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be related to the locust plague in Yuzhou!"

Locust plague! Hearing these two words, Wen Baishan's face changed suddenly, and he murmured: "Locust plague... hasn't appeared for many years?"

Soon, Wen Baishan and Wen Wuxian rushed over and the four of them walked up to the hall.

When they walked into the hall, they all saw the heavy face of Emperor Jianye! "Distribute the letter copy to the four of them."

Emperor Jianye spoke.

Just as he was just waiting, he had already ordered someone to copy the letter and sent it directly to the four people, saving time for circulating it.

The four of them got the copy of the letter and saw the contents, and their faces became gloomy in an instant! "Yue...Yuzhou...Is there a locust in Yuzhou?

!”

Wen Wuxian murmured, a little unbelievable.

"...If something happens in Yuzhou, it will be a big blow to the current Daxi Empire!"

Wen Baishan felt even more heavy.

After Li Wen saw it, his brows frowned! Li Fan sighed a long time ago. The things that Su Ye was worried about were finally revealed at this moment... "This is an urgent matter from Kang Xunbai, Zhili, Yuzhou."

Emperor Jianye said indifferently: "He went directly to Meng Changqing and sent it, which shows that the situation must have been very serious."

"Previously, I ordered the Ministry of Revenue to investigate the disaster situation in Yuzhou, but there is no news yet."

There was a hint of anger in his eyes! Wen Wuxian's face changed and he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Master, I have arranged a manpower to visit the twelve states in the world. However, Yuzhou is too big, and it will not be a half month to go to all parts of Yuzhou..." Wen Baishan also nodded and said, "Mr. Wen is right. The person sent to the investigation cannot come back... However, in the letter, Kang Xunbai mentioned that the ten counties of Yuzhou and Yuzhou all had different locusts. Now he is organizing people from all over the country to curb it. However, the situation is urgent, and he is no longer able to do so, so he sent a letter to Beijing."

"We can't wait any longer in my opinion."

Emperor Jianye said in a deep voice: "Of course I know I can't wait any longer, otherwise why should I rush to summon you to come!"

"Right Prime Minister, Li Fan, are you two going to have a plan?"

He looked at Li Wen and Li Fan! Li Wen said in a deep voice: "First, please immediately issue an order to the governor of Yuzhou Meng Changqing, so that he can do his best to curb the disaster!"

"Secondly, Lord Li Fan brought people to Yuzhou to supervise the battle!"

"Third, block the news and must not let it spread to the border or to the Hu people! At the same time, Lord Wen Wuxian immediately started to use all means, resources, purchase of grain, and increase storage. If the locust plague cannot be suppressed, the world will be in chaos."

He is worthy of being the right prime minister. In just a moment, he has already had a comprehensive countermeasure! Emperor Jianye nodded, and his face looked a little better at this moment. Then he turned his head and looked at Li Fan and said, "Li Fan, five months ago, when you passed by Yuzhou, you had already reported this matter. No one in the court is more familiar with the situation in Yuzhou than you. Do you have any suggestions?"

Li Fan sighed and said, "It's already May of summer, and the crops in Yuzhou are about to ripen. Although Kang Xunbai's letter still said "disease", the freezing three feet is not a day's cold. In a few days, the locusts will break out into a locust plague... At that time, perhaps what we have to consider is not how to deal with it... but how to maintain stability."

"This will be a difficult time that Daxi must overcome before the Hu people invaded."

Li Fan said word by word: "I am willing to go to Yangzhou to fight the locust plague, but I also ask the emperor to give me the power to live and kill. Anyone who is under the emperor, no matter the noble or low, can be executed first and then report!"

He looked solemn! The emperor below the emperor, and then the report! Hearing Li Fan say this, Emperor Jianye did not hesitate and said: "I gave you Shangfang Sword, not for you to set it up. If you want to kill it, you will kill it!"

There was a clanging sound in his words! "The person who came sent an order to be the imperial envoy, held the Shangfang sword, left Yuzhou to supervise the locust plague!"

"All officials in the world, regardless of their rank, will obey Li Fan's command!"

Emperor Jianye waved his hand and suddenly thought of something, saying, "I will ask Liu Huan, Liu Wu, and Liu Jing to go to Yuzhou to fight the locust plague!"

Hearing this, the people present suddenly looked shaking.

Is Emperor Jianye preparing to choose the last prince in this battle between man and locust?

...As soon as the imperial edict was released, everyone in the world was shocked! A hurricane suddenly started on the ancestral hall of the Daxi Empire! "What?

What's the situation?

Did something happen in Yuzhou?"

"Have you heard of it yet?

Yuzhou urgently reported that there may be a major locust plague there this year!"

"God, the big locust plague, is it true or false?

Yuzhou is the granary of the world!"

All officials were shocked! "Li Fan was actually appointed as the imperial envoy. This executioner went to Yuzhou, and it is probably going to cause another bloody storm!"

"This is not important. What is important is that the emperor asked the three princes to go with him to fight the locust plague. Isn't this obvious? "

"Yes, in this battle against locusts, if 1 performs well, he may become the prince!"

At the same time, what all officials are more concerned about is the intention behind the arrangements of Emperor Jianye! Changsun Mansion.

"Father, something happened in Yuzhou. The emperor ordered Li Fan to be the imperial envoy to supervise the battle in Yuzhou. Moreover, he also asked the three princes to go together..." Changsun Yichun spoke anxiously and said, "The emperor is trying to use the battle against locusts to decide the crown prince!"

Changsun Bubai listened to the news and was solemn above his old face, saying, "I didn't expect that something could happen in Yuzhou..." "Tell Liu Huan to go to Yuzhou and fight the disaster at all costs!"

"In addition, tell everyone that during this period, they have stopped and helped Liu Huan fight this battle!"

Changsun Yichun nodded. My father wanted to mobilize all resources to help Liu Huan show his talents! Chunming Palace.

"Father asked us to go to Yuzhou with Li Fan... to fight the locust plague."

Liu Huan frowned.

"Why, aren't you happy?

The competition you want is here.”

Smiling.

"Although Yuzhou is the granary of the world, it is hot now, and I don't want to be with those flying insects..." He was reluctant.

"You'd better leave this palace, and don't say it."

Chen You looked at him and said, "From today on, even if you perform for me, you will have to perform the posture of living and dying with the people of Yuzhou. Do you understand?"

"You just need to act. As for disaster resistance, there will naturally be Changsun Mansion to handle it for you."

Liu Jing nodded and said, "Come on, pack up and prepare to set off!"

...Shanghe Palace.

"Fight against the locust plague?"

Liu Wu was a little surprised and said, "Even his father issued an order, and even asked Li Fan to take charge personally. The situation this time is probably really serious..." "What is your highness going to do?"

Sword Saint Zhang Hanxing asked a question.

Liu Wu stood up, put his cloak on directly, and then put it on the long sword around his waist, saying word by word: "Before the troops and horses move, food and grass will go first, this is the key to winning the war!"

"If Yuzhou is lost now, there is no need to fight the decisive battle with the Hu people... So, this battle must be won!"

"Everyone under Shangwu Palace brought his own dry food and rushed to Yuzhou!"

"I'll set out today!"

...Jinghe Hall.

When the eunuch in the palace passed the imperial edict to Liu Jing, Liu Jing was stunned for a long time.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Youcao asked, "I didn't expect that the emperor actually asked me to go to Yuzhou to fight the locust plague... Didn't he give up on me?"

He murmured, suddenly a little bitter. He had no soldiers or generals under his command, and no official provided any support. When he arrived in Yangzhou, he was just bare-handed. What could he do?

I'm afraid, I'm just going to be a foil for Liu Huan and Liu Wu, and I'll be embarrassed again... "Locust plague... Youcao ate locusts when he was a child, but he never saw them. I've heard... Locust plague is terrible. Swarms of locusts will eat everything, the dealer, the leaves... leave nothing."

The little grass murmured, a little lost.

Hearing this, Liu Jing took a deep breath and said, "Youcao, prepare your baggage, let's go to Yuzhou!"

"Even if I can't compete with them, I can't sit idly by and help with bare hands. At least I have some manpower!"

A kind of resolute light suddenly appeared in his eyes!... Xijing was shocked.

Everything was in full swing! The next day, the imperial envoy led a group of people who were about to set out to Yuzhou to gather outside Xijing.
Chapter completed!
