Fortunately, Li Er calmed down very quickly and panted heavily. His mind was quickly determining how credible Crown Prince Li Chengqian's words were.
Putting aside the " shallow opinion " of the imperial examination, at least Li Chengqian had mentioned the disaster in Hedong Road in his conversation with Wei Zheng yesterday.
This prediction was undeniable!
Moreover, whether it was a locust plague or a plague, regardless of how credible it was, Li Er could not afford to gamble!
Thinking of this, Li Er's gaze landed on Li Xiaogong again as he said in a deep voice.
"Did the Crown Prince say anything about how to deal with this disaster?”
Hearing Li Er's question, Li Xiaogong quickly added the methods that Li Chengqian had mentioned before.
"His Highness the Crown Prince said that as long as we burn the straw during spring ploughing and kill the eggs in the ground, we might be able to avoid the locust disaster…"
Li Xiaogong had just finished speaking when Li Er hurriedly waved his hand.
"Do as the Crown Prince says!"
"You must remember this matter. When the spring plowing begins, you must do it clearly. Not a single inch of land can be left behind!”
Li Xiaogong quickly agreed.
"I understand!"
"This lowly subject will definitely do it properly without any mistakes…"
However, Li Xiaogong smiled bitterly in his heart. This also meant that the position of the general manager of the Hedong Road army was none other than him.
If it was before today, Li Xiaogong would still be very happy.
However, after returning from the Eastern Palace, this official title seemed like a hot potato to Li Xiaogong.
Li Er seemed to have thought of something and asked anxiously.
"What about the plague? Did the Crown Prince say anything to prevent it?”
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaogong scratched his head. He recalled that he was so scared that he forgot if Li Chengqian had said what to do.
Meeting Li Er's gaze, Li Xiaogong could only confess in shame.
"Your Majesty, I... I forgot..."
Li Er was speechless.
"How can you forget such an important thing?”
"Why don't you forget about yourself in the Eastern Palace?”
"Why did I ask you to look for the Crown Prince? Are you telling me that I forgot?"
......
Li Er glared at Li Xiaogong and spat again.
Li Xiaogong almost shut himself off at that time…
He thought to himself, if you want to know, then go and ask the Crown Prince yourself. What's there to be embarrassed about?
Asking someone else to pass a message and this attitude?
Relying on His Majesty's identity, if it were anyone else, Li Xiaogong would have let him know why the flowers were so red!
In the end, Li Er even looked at Li Xiaogong in disappointment and waved his hand.
"Get up!"
"Remember, you are not allowed to tell anyone what you heard today!”
"Take this curved plow blueprint with you and make a trip to the Ministry of Works first.”
"Also, you should know what to do after we reach Hedong Road, right?”
Hearing this, Li Xiaogong stood up from the ground and nodded seriously.
"I understand!"
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. This lowly subject will definitely handle this matter properly…"
Li Er did not say anything more and waved his hand to let Li Xiaogong leave.
"This humble subject will take his leave!"
Li Xiaogong took the drawing of Qu Yuan Li and quickly left.
When the royal study quieted down again, Li Er had a worried look on his face, and the memorials on the table were no longer in his mind.
As for the plague that was about to happen, Li Er was very panicked.
Ask him to ask Li Chengqian face to face? Li Er was still a little embarrassed…
He thought that this matter would not happen overnight. When Wei Zheng returned, he would let that old fellow go to the Eastern Palace to sound him out…
Thinking of this, Li Er's mood eased a lot.
Scaring was just scaring. No matter what, Li Er also felt that Li Xiaogong's trip to the Eastern Palace was worth it.
At the very least, he had obtained a copy of the curved plow.
Li Er's thoughts were not only on Hedong Road. After seeing the exquisite features of the curved shaft plow, Li Er wanted to promote the use of the curved shaft plow throughout the country.
That was why he had asked Li Xiaogong to bring the blueprints to the Ministry of Works before he left. He wanted to leave a copy so that the Ministry of Works could start production as soon as possible.
Without Wei Zheng's interruption, Li Chengqian's little life was very enjoyable.
On this day, he brought Wu Mei Niang to play barbecue in the garden of the palace…
Many seasonings were imported from the Western Regions, and there were many in the palace. Because the chefs in the imperial kitchen did not know how to use them, they were all placed in the warehouse.
Li Chengqian sent palace servants to search and obtained quite a lot.
The aroma of roasted meat wafted in all directions, and very quickly, it attracted the attention of a child around the age of five!
"It smells so good!"
"Brother Crown Prince, what are you doing here?”
The child sniffed the fragrance and jogged to Li Chengqian.
Looking at this child with red lips and white teeth in front of him, Li Chengqian also found the other party's identity from his memories!
Li Zhi!
Li Chengqian looked at Li Zhi in front of him with some surprise, his mood somewhat complicated.
After all, in history, the Crown Prince Li Chengqian and the King of Wei, Li Tai, fought for the throne, but in the end, this kid picked it up…
He had to admit that this kid was really lucky!
Because Li Zhi was still young, be it the Crown Prince Li Chengqian or the King of Wei Li Tai, they had never placed him in their eyes.
The relationship between them was still considered harmonious.
