Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji didn't even reach their destination and returned the way they came.
Li Shi Min had already sent out the experts of Landscape Sect to deliver the news.
The King of Shu, Li Ke, had taken over all the disaster relief matters for the locust plague and ordered them to lead the army back.
Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji met at the city gate of Chang 'an. This pair of old comrades didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
What was this?
A day trip to the locust experience with public funding?
Although he felt that he had gone out and did not do anything well, he was very unhappy.
However, the two of them had to admit that they were not good at disaster relief.
If he had to show off, he would probably lose his reputation and be laughed at for the rest of his life.
It was good that he was back.
Days passed. Li Shiming, Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the other advisors were all very nervous.
Although Li Ke had clearly stated that he could resolve the locust plague, that he could see results in five days and completely resolve it in ten days.
However, it was too difficult to let go of such a huge locust plague and wait quietly without knowing the changes.
Fortunately, Li Ke did not make them wait too long. On the afternoon of the third day, there was news from Landscape Sect.
"Your Majesty, good news."
Chang Tu revealed a rare smile as he said excitedly.
"The locust plague has been controlled in all the prefectures and counties of the inner pass.”
"Other than using chickens and ducks to clear the area, the King of Shu also lit a fire to attract the locusts to put out the fire and used a special net to catch the locusts.”
"In less than three days, I've completely controlled it.”
"Although there are still locusts everywhere, they are no longer a threat.”
Li Shiming, Zhangsun Wuji, and the other trusted ministers all heaved a sigh of relief and smiled.
"My Ke 'er is still the most reliable. He passed another round this time!”
Li Shi Min laughed and said proudly.
He couldn't get 100% of the merits from Li Ke, but he was his son after all, so Li Shimin was also proud of it.
He was just like those crazy kids in ordinary families.
This made Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and the others feel especially awkward.
Although Li Ke was the main one who had helped to put out the locust plague, they had worked hard to allocate food and plan. Even if they did not have any credit, they had worked hard.
Now, there was not even a word of comfort or praise. His Majesty was too disappointing.
However, Li Shi Min didn't care about them. He looked at Chang Tu excitedly.
"Pass down the decree and announce to the world that the King of Shu, Li Ke, has saved the lives of 300,000 people by curing small-flower. He has also made contributions in eliminating the locust plague this time, protecting the millions of people inside the pass and preventing the lives of the people from being plunged into misery and starvation.”
"The King of Shu has been given the important position of Governor of Yizhou, Governor of Yimian, Jian, Jialing, Yamei, Mengjian, and Qiong.”
"Once again, I will confer the title of Honest Literature Hall Master, spread science, and serve the Great Tang!”
Li Shi Min said excitedly. Chang Tu agreed and prepared to send the decree to the Ministry of Central Affairs.
Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui immediately frowned.
The King of Shu…
It was difficult to shake it anymore.
……
"Brother, you're amazing!"
Li Yin looked at the edict for Li Ke and was extremely excited. His eyes were filled with admiration as he looked at Li Ke.
"According to the allocation of Yizhou, your Shu Royal Guards are 50,000 people. Now that there are seven more prefectures, according to the specifications, it can reach the standard of 150,000 people.”
"In addition to your identity as the Governor of Yizhou, the entire Chengdu Prefecture and the entire Sichuan are your territory. You have no less than 500,000 troops under you.”
"Too awe-inspiring!"
Concubine Yang also looked at Li Ke with gratification.
"My Ke 'er has grown up."
"Now that you have such strength, even if those people in the court want to harm you, they won't dare to act rashly.”
"Furthermore, you've become the head of Hongwen Hall. Your status is noble and respected.”
"Mother no longer has to worry about your safety.”
When Li Ke heard this, he almost subconsciously said that he didn't know what to order.
Fortunately, he endured it.
"Mother, don't worry."
Li Ke said with a smile.
"In the future, not only will I be safe, but I will also protect you and my brother. In the future, no one can separate us.”
Concubine Yang was so emotional that tears welled up in her eyes.
He was the daughter of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, and he had truly experienced the pain of losing his country and family.
Although he was a noble consort, he really did not feel a sense of belonging in the Great Tang. The Imperial Palace was a cold place for him.
The only softness in his heart was his two sons, Li Ke and Li Yin.
This was also why Li Ke had suffered so much a year ago.
The mother-son relationship was one thing, but the loneliness in her heart was also another.
Now that Li Ke had become the head of Hongwen Hall, this was the most noble and respected official position.
Hongwen Hall was set up and more than 200,000 volumes of books were collected.
Set up a bachelor's degree, in charge of correcting books, teaching students; When the court has a system evolution, etiquette weight, can participate in the discussion.
Set up a school book Lang, in charge of the school management of ancient books, correct mistakes.
There is one person in charge of the general affairs of the embassy.
There were only dozens of students, all of whom were selected from the royal family and the children of senior Beijing officials. They were taught by scholars to learn classics, history and calligraphy.
She had to stay in Chang 'an. As long as she was in Chang' an, the mother and son could see each other every day. Concubine Yang was satisfied.
"Then I can't call you brother in the future. Do I have to call you mister?”
Li Yin asked mischievously.
Before Yang Fei and Li Ke could speak, Empress Zhangsun's voice came from outside.
"Of course."
Empress Zhangsun came in and said with a smile.
Concubine Yang and Li Yin hurriedly stood up and bowed.
"Greetings, Empress."
Li Ke only cupped his hands slightly, which was considered a salute.
Empress Zhangsun didn't care. Li Ke didn't even care about Emperor Li Shimin, so how could he treat her well?
There was no need for him to care about this.
"Not only you, even the Crown Prince, Li Tai, Li You, and the other princes are all Li Ke's students. In the future, they will have to address Li Ke as Mister.”
Empress Zhangsun looked at Li Ke and said with a smile.
"Li Ke, knowing that you're here, BenGong just happened to bring the Crown Prince and the others to pay their respects to you.”
Li Chengqian, Li Tai, Li You, and the other princes were also straightforward. They bowed deeply to Li Ke and shouted.
"Greetings, Mr. Li."
Li Ke smiled and casually waved his hand as a return greeting, letting them stand to the side.
At this moment, the chamberlain came in to report.
"Empress, Duke Zhao, Duke Su, Duke E, and a dozen other dukes have come to pay their respects to the King of Shu.”
Empress Zhangsun smiled.
"I know. They must be here to bring the child to meet our new Hongwen Dojo Master.”
"It's only right that I come to bow to Sir. This is the rule!”
The chamberlain smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"No, the Duke's intention is…to take the King of Shu as his master and become a student of Hongwen Hall!”
Empress Zhangsun and the others were shocked and looked at Li Ke in disbelief.
It was already ridiculous enough for this kid to be the head of Hongwen Dojo at the age of eleven.
Now, more than ten High Dukes wanted to become his students.
This was probably the most valuable Hongwen Dojo master in history!
