Qin Yu needed to find someone to interact with those aristocratic families about locust removal and disaster relief.
This person needed to be a little scheming in order to play those aristocratic families in the palm of his hand.
Wang Xuance was the perfect candidate.
This guy had been to India three times in history and had destroyed an entire country by himself.
It could be said that Wang Xuance's diplomacy was inextricably linked to the fact that the Tang Empire could spread to the West and become famous.
Finding him was simply a waste of talent.
However, which transmigrator did not have the habit of collecting historical celebrities?
Qin Yu was the same.
Regarding his matters, Qin Qiong only gave a few exhortations, warning him to be careful and that there was no other way.
Because things had come to this.
Therefore, after saying a few more words, he sent someone to look for Wang Xuance.
At the same time, Qin Qiong was puzzled. Who was this Wang Xuance?
At noon, Cheng Chumo and the other three returned with a few bags of locusts. The bags were tightly tied and covered. Outsiders could not imagine that the locusts inside were actually the locusts that both the common people and the officials feared.
Moreover, they were all very fat.
After waiting for a while, Yuchi Baolin, who had gone out to look for a shop, also returned. After the six of them gathered, they took a carriage and headed to the Imperial Palace.
Li Junxian was waiting in front of the Imperial Palace.
Thus, after entering the palace, the few of them went straight to the imperial kitchen.
Then, he took out the bags of locusts and let the chefs clean them up.
When they first saw the jumping locusts with ferocious faces, the chefs 'faces turned green.
When they heard that this was a dish prepared for the evening, they all looked as if they had seen a ghost.
To feed the court with locusts, oh…And His Majesty, this...
The chefs couldn't believe it.
However, it was difficult to disobey the emperor's orders. Even if they felt a chill, they could only endure it. Under Qin Yu's supervision and command, they began to operate.
He cleaned, crushed, and added flour. Everything was done in an orderly manner. He was just waiting for the banquet tonight.
At the same time, in a study in a luxurious mansion in Chang 'an, someone was talking about something.
"Big brother, I don't know what His Majesty is thinking. He actually appointed an eight-year-old child as the head of the Ministry of Revenue's warehouse, and even gave him full authority to eliminate locusts and provide disaster relief.”
The person who spoke was in his forties. It was the Minister of Rites, Wang Qiufeng.
His elder brother was naturally also a member of the Wang family in Taiyuan. His name was Wang Qiuting, but he was not the head of the family.
Because the patriarch was their father.
Wang Qiuting took a sip of the tea that had just been boiled and said slowly,""Your Majesty's thoughts are not something we can guess.”
"This…" Wang Qiufeng thought for a moment and said,"Big Brother, Qin Yu was first betrothed by His Majesty to Princess Jin Yang. Now, he is the head of the Ministry of Revenue and the warehouse. He can be said to have boundless glory." But I'm curious. He's an eight-year-old child. Can he solve the locust plague that all the officials in the court can't solve? It would probably just be a joke, right?”
"But His Majesty wouldn't have thought of this. This is what I'm puzzled about.”
Wang Qiuting chuckled." Whether it can be solved or not, it has nothing to do with us. Why do you have to worry?"”
"But, shouldn't we do something?”
"Of course not." Wang Qiuting's words were unhurried, and then his eyes showed a cold light. He said,""It's fine that an eight-year-old kid like him isn't grateful for the olive branch that the Wang family has extended, but he still dares to look down on the Wang family. If we don't teach him a lesson, won't others think that we're easy to bully?”
"Before father left this morning, he said that he would find an opportunity to knock him into the abyss, even if…He was only eight years old. The dignity of a thousand-year-old family could not be blasphemed.”
"What should we do?" Wang Qiufeng asked.”
Wang Qiuting smiled coldly." He's the manager of the Treasury Department at such a young age. He also has a heavy responsibility." This arrogant kid must be in high spirits. As someone who had experienced it before, he couldn't let him go astray and should be given a stern warning.”
Then, he looked at Wang Qiufeng." Go to the other aristocratic families and find a few people. At night, make things difficult for him. Let him know his own strength."”
"The officials of the Great Tang must have both virtue and ability. Putting aside whether they have virtue or not, I'm very curious. What talent does an eight-year-old child have?”
Wang Qiufeng pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said,""I understand now. Although he doesn't have a literary reputation to destroy, he can take a disastrous fall. How could a person without talent enter the court as an official?”
"Yes."
"Let's not talk about governing the country for the time being. That child probably can't even read. Why don't we let him write a poem?”Wang Qiufeng asked.
" I don't care what we do," said Wang Qiuting." What we want is for him to make a fool of himself."”
"Alright, I'll do it now."
"Yes."
The great clans had always looked down on everyone else. Even the imperial family was nothing more than a nouveau riche in their eyes.
There was a saying that there were only thousand-year-old aristocratic families, not thousand-year-old dynasties.
This was their pride.
What Qin Yu said yesterday clearly embarrassed them and made them very unhappy.
If the aristocratic families were unhappy, the consequences would be very serious.
Wang Qiuting enjoyed the delicious taste of the tea. He smiled leisurely and said to himself,""Qin Yu? Eight years old, what a pity. I hope you can be happy tonight."
