In Taiji Palace, Li Er, who had returned from Anping County, told his most beloved empress, Zhangsun Wugou, about what had happened today.
"Father, Lizhi wants to eat too." Hearing Li Er's words, the seven-year-old Li Lizhi was extremely greedy.
"Your Majesty, since he has such a magical ability, why not recruit him into the palace and serve Your Majesty?”Empress Zhangsun said.
"Zhen had that plan and even promised to give him the title of marquis and minister, but he didn't think it would work. That's why father has been staying there to freeload and refused to return to the palace.”Li Er said helplessly.
"Most extraordinary people will look down on fame and fortune.”Zhangsun Wugou said.
"Yes, I am. However, it was not that he had no weaknesses. Because Lu Zhuang was a small family, he hoped to get a few more wives.”Li Er smiled.
"So Imperial Father betrothed Xiaogong's daughter to him? However, Princess Yuyao was suffering from the incurable disease of Corpse Transference, so it was a little inappropriate for her to marry him.”Empress Zhangsun asked in surprise.
Corpse Transference wasn't an ordinary disease. It was highly contagious, and even talking could be infected.
"Although Corpse Transference is a terminal illness for others, it's not something that's difficult to treat for Lu Xiu. Of course, if Xiaogong's daughter married him, it would also be considered as an indirect relationship with him.”Li Er said.
"Hehe, it's a pity that she's not your daughter. In fact, His Majesty could confer Yuyao the title of princess.”Empress Zhangsun said with a smile.
"Good idea. Wugou is indeed my virtuous wife.。”Hearing this, Li Er's eyes lit up with joy.
If it weren't for the fact that his daughter was only a few years old, Li Er really wanted to marry his daughter to Lu Xiu.
"Because Your Majesty was too busy, so you didn't think of it. And Hejian County Prince Li Xiaogong is also a member of our Li Clan, so it is not impossible to confer Yuyao the title of princess.”Empress Zhangsun said.
"En, in addition, I have to arrange for more than ten soldiers for him. On one hand, he asked me to help him find a few guards. Hehe, he actually mistakenly thought that I was a lieutenant in the army. On the other hand, it was to protect the Retired Emperor. I'm worried that something will happen if Wu He is alone.”Li Er said.
"Your Majesty, who do you plan to let take responsibility?" Zhangsun Wugou asked.
"Cheng Chumo will lead a small team.”Li Er thought for a moment and said.
"But if Zhijie knows about Lu Xiu's existence, he might be as thick-skinned as Father and refuse to come back.”Empress Zhangsun said.
"With Zhijie's personality, he definitely will. However, it's not a bad thing if he can get to know Lu Xiu.”Li Er said with a smile.
"Father, can you bring Lizhi there next time? Lizhi wants to eat delicious food too.”Li Lizhi pleaded.
"Alright, alright. Next time, zhen will consider bringing zhen's lovely princess.”Li Er said.
…………
On the fourth day, Li Er gathered more than a dozen experts, led by Cheng Chumo. Each of them was the elite of the elite.
He had already prepared for the third day, but Li Er was waiting for the Prince of Hejian.
In order to save his daughter, the Prince of Hejian sent people in Chang 'an to offer a large reward, whether it was a female prisoner who had been sentenced to death or a young woman who had just died for some reason.
Although the dead were important, many people were unwilling to touch the corpses of the dead.
However, there was a drought last year and a locust plague this year. There was no food in the homes of the people, and some of the poor people even exchanged their children for food.
Therefore, in less than two days, he bought a skinny girl who had just starved to death. She was just fourteen years old.
Looking at the girl whose body temperature was gradually turning cold, Li Er was silent. He understood that although part of the reason was the natural disaster, part of it was also his responsibility as the emperor.
As the Emperor of the Great Tang, how could he not be responsible for such a disaster that had befallen his country?
Fortunately, Lu Xiu had appeared. He alone had helped tens of thousands of victims around Chang 'an, giving the people of Chang' an a chance to live.
At the same time, the most important thing was to let the people no longer fear locusts. They were natural disasters, and they would take the initiative to capture locusts.
There was a possibility that the locust plague, which had been raging until summer, would end early.
"Chumo, when you arrive at the Lu Manor, listen to Lu Xiu's instructions. Don't expose our identities. Your mission is to protect the Lu Manor and the Retired Emperor.”Li Er reminded him.
"Your Majesty, remember this. With us here, we won't let the Retired Emperor suffer any harm.”Cheng Chumo vowed.
"Yes, they are all elites selected from the Black Armor Army, so I naturally believe them.”Li Er nodded." I've already said what I need to say. Let's go."”
"Yes."
Although they were not equipped with good equipment, dozens of people were not a match for them.
If not for the fact that he was afraid of startling Lu Xiu, Li Er even planned to send a few hundred soldiers to guard outside the Lu manor. However, it was obvious that Lu Xiu did not want to be disturbed.
