Chapter 131: frank

Under the big tree outside the small courtyard of the Han family.
The old and the young were 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 that, 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 and listened to Li Zexuan.
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, an unprecedented event will occur in the Tang Dynasty. The great plague of locusts..."
…………
With Li Zexuan's recounting, Qin Qiong's face became more and more serious. After Li Zexuan finished the rhetoric he had told his father that night, Qin Qiong was so ugly that he couldn't help it anymore, pointing at Li Zexuan and cursing:
"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 today that you Li Zexuan is such a hard-hearted man. 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 horrifying, and Li Zexuan was immediately stabbed with bruises all over his body. 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 sprayed. Out, couldn't help it anymore, and roared:
"Are you willing to conceal it as a kid? If your nephew tells your majesty the truth, how can your majesty believe me? Maybe he will sin against my family and hurt his nephew's parents. In addition, once this matter comes out, the people will inevitably panic. At that time, countless people frantically looted food, which will surely lead to soaring food prices and public resentment. How can my nephew bear this charge?"
Qin Qiong's face was startled when he heard the words, Li Zexuan breathed a sigh of relief and continued:
"The locust plague is only 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 people when the time comes, and he will be stigmatized forever. I’m fine. The same, living in seclusion and being a wild crane, but what about my parents? They will continue to live on the land of Datang. And do you really think that my nephew bears the heart to watch the people suffer? If that is the case, then Why bother to raise 150,000 chickens in Hanjiazhuang and Meicun? Are you a hard-hearted kid? My nephew, like you, loves the land of Datang and the people of Datang, and my nephew also misses it very much. Save them..."
After Li Zexuan finished speaking, he took a long breath, 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 with a complex expression and a change of expression. Finally, he sighed, walked over and patted Li Zexuan's shoulder gently, and said:
"Xiao Xuan, 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 offensive, and I hope you don't be familiar with your nephew!"
The locust plague in his heart has also been suppressed for a long time. He knows that what he is doing can only save a part of the people, and there will still be thousands of people suffering, and he will feel very uncomfortable, but he has no other way. Saying that 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 won't 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 have always been at a loss for the kings of the past? The kid also wants to save more people, but the nephew's ability is limited and 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 censure, the old man will bear it!"
Li Zexuan was startled, and waved his hand to stop him: "Never! The locust plague is only a prediction, and there is no conclusive evidence. Please think twice about it, and don't be impulsive!"
Qin Qiong shook his head and said, "Xiao Xuan, this kind of thing is better to be trusted than not to be trusted. Otherwise, when the locust plague really comes, all we can do is wait for death. Moreover, the weather this year is so abnormal. By May, it was so hot. The old man estimated that 80% of this year would be a 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 all of my Datang The people of China must rely on the power of the court."
"but…"
Li Zexuan wanted to continue to dissuade, but was interrupted by Qin Qiong waved his hand.
"Xiaoxuan, you don't have to persuade you anymore. In his lifetime, the old man has finally seen peace in the world and the people live and work in peace and contentment. He will never watch them starving to death because of the locust plague~EbookFREE.me~ The old man's hands are already touched. Full of countless blood, it should have been taken away by God and fallen into reincarnation. Now, with this incomplete body, I can do some practical things for the people. Even if your Majesty is accused of crimes 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 responsible like Qin Qiong, so he said:
"Uncle Qin, this 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 you still have 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 doesn't agree, my nephew will write to your majesty alone!"
Qin Shubao saw that Li Zexuan had made his mind, so he nodded and said: "Well, the old man is in the middle of the compromise, and write your name, you and I, jointly write the letter. It's getting late, call Shangzhijie, we return to the city Right!"
………
Li Zexuan returned to the courtyard and found that Han Yuxi was 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 yet. I didn't see Han Lizheng, he was probably still drunk.
Li Zexuan said a few words to Han Yuxi in the past, and once 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 were not heavy. One person would just sit one more immediately.
In this way, the five people rode three times, fought their horses and left Hanjiazhuang, and rushed towards Chang'an City in the sunset.
