Film and TV: Starting from the marriage with Zhao Linger

Most importantly, this isn't pure luck.

Before the outbreak of the plague, Li Shouxi had won two small victories in succession and had killed 200,000 barbarian cavalry and at least 300,000 slave troops without losing a single soldier. This was a real achievement.

And this may be the reason why the plague broke out among the barbarians.

It is common sense that if too many people die in a confined space, plague will breed.

It’s also cause and effect!

Therefore, Li Shouxi did not need to explain, many "Gewu" ministers had already helped Li Shouxi to make up his big lie, and everyone was convinced.

Dead people? Pile up? Plague?

For a moment, the hall was filled with compliments, and even the Crown Prince, King Wu and others breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, if the barbarians invade the country, their Tang Dynasty will be in pieces. What can they earn then?

This is the principle that among aristocratic families, all prosper and all suffer together.

"But there is one more thing, which is the reason why the barbarians are heading south this time!"

"Why did the barbarians move south?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Emperor Tang in confusion. The movement of one million barbarians south was beyond everyone's expectations. This was almost a desperate and unprecedented alliance.

Why is Jiupin called the king in the grassland?

This is because the strong are respected in the grassland, and they are all the leaders or kings of a large tribe, in charge of the land within a thousand miles around.

But it was surprising that a dozen grassland kings suddenly united this time!

Chapter 81: 'Storing Food' and 'Going to Guandong'

"The eternal night is coming, and the winter is coming?"

Upon hearing this, all the elders frowned.

Most of them didn't know what it meant, but some university scholars seemed to be thinking about it, as if they had heard it somewhere before.

“Your Majesty, this is a catastrophe that rarely occurs in a thousand years on the grassland?

Rumor has it that the eternal night is coming, darkness covers the earth, and the cold nights are longer than the days; winter is coming, ice and snow cover the grasslands, and all life is extinguished. "

"Taifu Xiao is indeed a well-educated man in our Tang Dynasty.

According to the news from the Duke of Zhenguo, this is the result of divination by the Barbarian High Priest, the land immortal who guards Hanzhou, so it should not be false. "

What is the result of divination by the land gods?

This made everyone who had originally sneered at it suddenly take it seriously, because the prestige of the land immortals was so high.

Moreover, the immortals on land can glimpse the laws of nature and naturally predict the future.

"Your Majesty, even if the barbarians are in danger, we cannot allow them to enter the pass. Otherwise, we will let the wolf into the house and it will definitely bite back at the master!"

"Yes, the barbarians only know how to plunder, they are not educated, and they do not understand morality. Once they are introduced into the country, they will definitely bring disaster to the village."

···

Most of the court officials did not agree with the barbarians entering the pass, not to mention that it was just a prophecy.

Even the predictions of the gods on earth are no exception and may not be true.

"Okay, what I just said was not to discuss the issue of the barbarians entering the pass, but based on the King of Yan's speculation, this is the reincarnation of the two poles of heaven and earth.

Eternal night falls and winter is approaching. Similar to the four seasons of the year, it is the coldest season in the land of Kyushu.

It's just that the grassland is in the north of Kyushu, and the Yanshan Mountains and other mountains block it, so this extreme cold air has not reached Kyushu. But when the eternal night falls and the winter is coming, the temperature in our Central Plains will also drop and the grain production will decrease. Do you think this is familiar?"

"The reincarnation of the two poles of heaven and earth?"

Everyone was surprised when they heard this, but they soon realized that the explanation given by Queen Tang was just the peasant uprising at the end of the dynasty.

Combined with the approaching eternal night and the coming of winter, is this also a prophecy of the dynasty’s decline?

For a moment, everyone was silent.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, if you agree, it means that the Tang Dynasty will not last long; if you say it is nonsense, then what is the meaning of the topic we just discussed?

"We must be on guard against what the King of Yan said!

Although this matter is somewhat unbelievable, after reading the history books, it is found that every time a dynasty ended, foreign races migrated southward at the same time.

In the south of Chu there are ghosts who regard five hundred years as spring and five hundred years as autumn.

The cycle of heaven and earth is nothing more than this.

Since His Royal Highness Prince Yan has made such a guess, he must have noticed something and wants the court to take precautions so that when disaster strikes, it won’t be in a rush and panic! "

When everyone heard this, their eyes flickered.

Yes, Mingling and Dachun have a season of 500 or 8000 years. If the four seasons of heaven and earth are four images, perhaps this eternal winter night is the negative pole of heaven and earth.

Since the so-called eternal night and bitter winter are recorded in historical books, they may not be false.

“Yes, that’s what King Yan meant.

If the Eternal Night really came, even if the impact on the Central Plains was relatively small, there would inevitably be a reduction in grain production and unrest among the people. Therefore, the King of Yan asked the court to store grain in case of emergency.

What do you think? "

All the civil officials were whispering to each other, and it was difficult to reach a consensus for a while.

Stockpiling food is not a trivial matter. To cope with the severe winter, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of shi of food are not enough. Even tens of millions of shi may not be enough.

Therefore, no one wants to bear the responsibility of such a huge financial expenditure.

After all, this is just a prophecy.

"Father, I am just guessing. Perhaps this prophecy is just a pretext for the barbarians to move south?"

"Do you think Father is a fool?"

Upon hearing this, the prince even said he dared not, but his face showed great dissatisfaction.

But the Duke of Fuguo below him quickly came out and said:

"Your Majesty, I think it is better to be prepared before it happens. Regardless of whether this matter is true or false, we must be fully prepared.

It is no accident that the grassland tribes suddenly gathered a million cavalrymen and marched south, heading straight for the black land of Liaodong. On the contrary, the prophecy of eternal winter is very likely to come true, so I think it is necessary to use all the surplus outside the budget to purchase grain from various countries and store it to cope with the possible catastrophe! "

When the prince heard that his uncle also agreed with the strategy of hoarding grain, he immediately realized that he had been too serious and brought in his personal emotions.

Moreover, the policy of stockpiling food was promoted in this way, and there must be some secrets that he was unaware of.

"In that case, Duke Fuguo, I'll leave this matter to you!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

If you have food in your hands, you will not be worried.

Whether it is true or false, it will not cause much loss to the Tang Dynasty.

On the contrary, if a disaster really strikes, this will continue the country's destiny.

“In addition, the King of Yan has another petition, which is to allow refugees from all over the country to go to Liaodong.

There is still a large amount of black soil in Liaodong that has not been developed. If winter is approaching, these refugees will definitely be the cause of the riot, and the black soil in Liaodong can feed them; if the news is not true, these refugees can reclaim wasteland and contribute to the tax revenue of our Tang Dynasty.

What do you think? "

When everyone heard this, they all looked at him.

What a conspiracy!

This matter is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty no matter how you look at it, but at the same time, the influx of so many refugees into Liaodong can also quickly expand Liaodong's power.

Therefore, migration is beneficial to both Tang Dynasty and Liaodong.

"Great!"

"Your Highness the Prince of Yan is truly an unrivaled national hero!"

No one objected. This was a good thing no matter how you looked at it. Moreover, whether it was true or false, it was a policy that benefited the country.

"In this case, this matter will be presided over by Lord Fang. The first batch of refugees must be sent to Liaodong before the spring planting this year."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

···

The great victory at Longmen Pass not only shocked the Tang Dynasty, which shouted "God bless the Tang Dynasty", but also people all over Kyushu were in a trance and could not believe it.

At the same time, speculation about corpses, canyons, and plague also spread throughout Kyushu.

This is also the result of the Bad People's vigorous publicity. Otherwise, if people really knew that this was Li Shouxi's evil plot, it would be a huge stain on their Tang Dynasty royal family.

Even though Li Shouxi was dealing with the barbarians on the grassland.

While lamenting Li Shouxi's good luck, the results of the two small successes also amazed everyone.

And it was precisely because of the two small victories that a large number of corpses piled up in the valley, which led to this "plague disaster". So many people bluntly said that this was not God's blessing, but a brilliant plan.

This strange plan was undoubtedly much better than Li Shouxi's direct poisoning.

One is a strategic victory; the other is a moral decline!

In addition, the Tang Dynasty began to purchase large quantities of grain from surrounding countries and at the same time relocated refugees from various counties to Liaodong.

Such a huge move naturally attracted the attention of many dynasties.

Soon they discovered the prophecy of "eternal night and winter is coming". Some people were disdainful of it, some were wary of it, and some were preparing for war...

Chapter 82: Rewards and Punishments: A Short Separation Is Better Than a New Reunion

"Your Majesty!"

Fengtian, Prince Yan's Palace, and seven palaces.

With Li Shouxi's return, Wang Meng came to pay a visit with a group of officials and students from Jixia Academy who were on internship under him.

Originally thought to be a protracted battle, who could have imagined that it would end with Li Shouxi's vicious plan of "harming Heaven and Earth but not Culture and Culture".

At the same time, the fundamental power on the grassland also collapsed.

This was a million of the most elite cavalry on the grassland, just like the Tang Dynasty's army of over ten million, but a million of its warriors were wiped out.

For at least ten years, the grassland will no longer be able to move south!

Therefore, the Jixia students who had been trembling in fear in Fengtian City suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the news of the great victory at Longmen Pass.

After all, it is a rare opportunity to serve as an official and educate the people, and the simplicity of Liaodong also exceeds their expectations.

At least they cherish this opportunity very much at this time.

"Everyone, please get up!"

In the hall, there came together Wanyan Wudi, Buyeo Sword Saint, King Wannu, Bohai Great Martial Saint and other four great masters of foreign races!

Among them, the Great Martial Saint is not really the title of Martial Saint, but the surname of the Bohai Kingdom is "Da Wu", and "Saint" is just a single name, and also his status in the Bohai Kingdom, which is as sacred as a god.

These foreign masters have become much more honest.

After seeing the hidden strength of the Black Armored Cavalry, anyone who is not an idiot would know that the strength of the Prince of Yan's Mansion at this time is not something they can contend with.

Although they helped Li Shouxi a lot this time, the Prince Yan's Mansion itself did not need them.

The Demon Sword Immortal Cao Shaoqing, the mysterious master guarding the three major districts, Li Xuanhu on the Dragon Burial Mountain... It can be said that if the Prince of Yan's Mansion had not been concerned about those aristocratic families, it would have the strength to deal with this crisis.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Bei and other students looked curiously at the four foreign masters on the opposite side.

These are not just local ethnic minorities in Liaodong, but also rare ninth-grade warriors in Kyushu, and they played a great role in this surprise attack on the grassland.

Although in the eyes of everyone, this grassland retreat was a natural disaster, Li Shouxi's record was still remarkable.

In two small victories, 200,000 cavalrymen and more than 100,000 slave soldiers from the grassland were wiped out without losing a single soldier; the enemy camp was attacked at night, which severely damaged the enemy commander Tuoba Daman and caused considerable damage to the enemy camp... These can be said to be good achievements.

"Captain Wanyan, I would like to thank you all for coming to help!

The Prince of Yan’s Mansion doesn’t have many treasures to show off. Later, the prince will ask Shaoqing to give you some treasures to assist in your spiritual practice as a token of his appreciation.”

"Thank you for the reward, Your Highness Prince Yan. We are unworthy of it!"
