Qin, Bashu two counties.
Meteors fell from the sky and locust plagues ran rampant!
In just one night, the entire sky was filled with densely packed green locusts. Wherever they passed, the land was barren and the food crops planted by the commoners were all swallowed up!
The people of the two counties cried and cried. Countless people saw that the rations they had worked so hard to grow were all ruined by locusts, and they almost fainted in the fields!
In Zhangtai Palace, ministers gathered.
"Report!"
"Your Majesty, the locust plague in the Ba and Shu counties is serious. The land of the two counties is barren and there are almost no food crops left!”
"Report!"
"Your Majesty, the locust plague has spread to Hanzhong County!”
"Report!"
" Your Majesty, the locust plague has spread to Beidi County. The governor of Beidi County is asking for help. Your Majesty, please open the granary to release food for disaster relief. Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be chaos…"
……
Outside the palace gates, messengers were constantly rushing over.
Every time a palace servant came to report, Ying Zheng's heart sank a little!
"Alright! Hurry up and discuss what to do!"
On the throne, Ying Zheng rubbed his glabella, feeling a headache coming on.
He had just taken over the power of the State of Qin from Lu Buwei and Lao Ai, and he had never expected that such a thing would happen!
Meteors fell from the sky and locust plagues ran rampant!
Could it be that the heavens want to go against me?
Humph!
Even if the heavens were to send down a calamity, with the help of the ancestor, I will still fight with the heavens!
"What's wrong? All of you are the pillars of my Great Qin, can't you come up with a feasible plan?”
Ying Zheng sat on the throne, looking down at the ministers in the court with a cold gaze.
"Your Majesty, locust plagues have occurred several times since the ancient era of the Yellow Emperor. They are natural disasters that cannot be stopped by human strength!”
"For now, the only way is to open the granaries to provide disaster relief and let the people have food to eat. Only then can we ensure that we can safely survive this disaster and not cause chaos in Ba Shu!”
"In addition, in order to prevent the locust plague from spreading, we should order the local governments to organize manpower to kill as many locusts as possible..."
Among the courtiers, Liu Bowen took a step forward and cupped his hands to Ying Zheng.
However, even someone as intelligent as Liu Bowen was helpless now. His tone was heavy.
The locust plagues had plagued people for thousands of years since the Yan Huang Era. Every locust plague was a tragedy! However, even in the later generations, the problem of the locust plague had not been completely resolved…
Natural disasters could not be stopped!
Hearing this, Ying Zheng could only wave his hands helplessly.
"Pass down the order to quickly open the granary to relieve the disaster!”
"Yes!"
……
Following Ying Zheng's order, the entire state machine of Qin State was activated!
Orders related to disaster relief came out from Xianyang Palace!
On this day, in Madam Han's bedroom.
"Furen, ever since the King expelled Minister Lü a few days ago, he can be said to be monopolizing power in the court and his reputation is growing!”
Official Ke Fu stood outside Madam Han's phoenix couch, his expression respectful.
Qing Kefu was Madam Han's trusted aide, the backbone of the Han Kingdom's Qi family!
"There's nothing we can do about it!"
"Who would have thought that the king would secretly nurture such an elite force like the Tiger Leopard Cavalry! With such a large army by his side, Xianyang City is destined to be under his command. Do you think we can really fall out with the king?”
Madam Han lay on the soft couch, her brows furrowed helplessly.
Previously, when Lady Han was invited by Ying Zheng, she had thought that she was the oriole behind the mantis stalking the cicada, but she did not expect that she was actually the mantis!
"Madam, there's actually a way!”
"Now that the locust plague is rampant, the king is already entangled by this natural disaster. However, when he quells the locust plague and has free hands, he will definitely attack us again!”
"Since that's the case, why don't we strike first and make him completely bound by this natural disaster?”
"In this way, we can calmly plan and take charge of the Qin country's government in the future…"
Qing Kefu bowed to Madam Han in a low voice.
"Oh?"
"Do you have any good ideas?"
Madam Han looked at Qing Kefu in surprise.
Hearing this, Qing Kefu took two steps forward and whispered to Madam Han.
" Madam, we only need to hold the granary and wait for the chaos in Bashu to happen. Then, we will have the Lord of Chang 'an lead the army to quell the chaos. Then, Bashu will be under our control..."
As Qing Kefu spoke, Madam Han's eyes lit up…
