The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

The two of them continued on the road, and an hour later, they finally arrived at the entrance of the village.

Looking at the place where he stayed during the autumn harvest last year, Li Shimin felt a little emotional.

At that time, Zhao Chen was extremely annoyed because he had been hiding his identity from him.

Although some things happened, it was okay and everything was successful in the end.

"That boy Zhao Chen has a very weird temper and is stubborn. I don't know who he followed." Li Shimin said suddenly.

"Then it must be just a matter of course." Wei Zheng said with a smile, his eyes falling on Li Shimin.

Wei Zheng said this deliberately.

He just wanted to see if the emperor's dark color would change when he heard his words.

But to Wei Zheng's disappointment, the emperor nodded in agreement and said, "How can a son not follow his father? You are right."

Wei Zheng was a little confused. .??.

The emperor said that Zhao Chen had a weird temper. If Zhao Chen was really related to the emperor, then when he heard this sentence, his face would have changed, not to mention annoyed.

But, in fact, I didn't see it.

Could it be said that Zhao Chen really has nothing to do with the emperor.

"Your Majesty is wise." Wei Zheng smiled along with him.

I was even more confused.

"Let's go to the village and see what that boy Zhao Chen is doing."

"I estimate that you will stay in the village for a few days, so you should go out with me for an outing." Li Shimin waved his hand, said something to Wei Zheng, and led the horse forward.

"Hey, aren't you a friend of our Brother Zhao? Are you here to see Brother Zhao?" The two of them had not walked a few steps when they met the village chief leading young and strong villagers at the corner, carrying two empty baskets on their shoulders.

"Village Chief, long time no see. How are you lately?" Li Shimin greeted the village chief with a smile on his face, without any aura of dignity as an emperor.

At this moment, Li Shimin looked like an ordinary villager.

\u003c

br\u003e Well, if you tie up your trousers, it would look more like it.

"Okay, okay, this old man is very strong. Brother Zhao should have gone to the fields at this time. If you want to go, just go straight along this road and you can see it." The village chief said with a smile.

The folks in the village looked down upon Zhao Chen, and were naturally friendly to his friends.

"Okay, I'll go find him later. Village chief, are you going outside?" Li Shimin nodded and asked casually.

I originally thought that the village chief would just nod to me and let everyone forget it. Unexpectedly, the village chief put down the pole as if he wanted to have a long talk with me.

Wei Zheng also looked at Li Shimin, stunned for a while.

These villagers must have too little eyesight. Didn't they see that it was Zhao Chen they were looking for?

"Two noblemen, it's like this. Brother Zhao said this morning that it hasn't rained for a long time in the spring this year, and the snow last year was not heavy."

"The pests in the fields are expected to appear soon. Brother Zhao said that this locust plague is likely to come."

"Brother Zhao is very capable. Let us raise more chickens and ducks now and eat all the locusts. These chickens and ducks can still be bought with money."

The village chief spoke to Li Shimin and Wei Zheng with great interest.

He also wanted to give Zhao Chen more face in front of Zhao Chen's friends.

It's just that Li Shimin has no intention of praising Zhao Chen's method now.

As soon as he heard that the locust plague was about to appear, Li Shimin's heart skipped a beat and he almost fell to the ground.

Last winter, Zhao Chen told him about this matter.

Zhao Chen also said that he would eat locusts, which made him sick at the time.

even though

At that time, Li Shimin himself was still a little worried.

But then the Battle of Songzhou broke out, and with all the things that happened after that, he almost forgot about it.

Now that he suddenly heard this, Li Shimin's face turned a little ugly.

"Zhao Chen really said that?" Li Shimin confirmed again.

Wei Zheng was also full of worries at this moment.

The locust plague is a natural disaster.

For the people who work hard to grow two crops, this is definitely a disaster.

Once the locust plague comes, it will be an unprecedented disaster.

Famine, disasters, and plagues may follow at any time.

What's more, it will be said that this is a disaster sent from heaven to the Tang Dynasty. It is Li Shimin who has done many evil things and caused such a disaster.

This is definitely not what they want to see.

"What Brother Zhao said is absolutely correct. Nobles, if you have a lot of fields, you must remember to raise more chickens and ducks as soon as possible. You will definitely be able to survive this locust plague."

"Then we won't bother you two nobles. The old man has to go to Chang'an City to buy a few baskets of eggs and duck eggs that can be hatched, so we'll leave first." The village chief cupped his hands with the two men and led several villagers to the village. Go outside.

Li Shimin stood there and did not go to Zhao Chen immediately.

"Your Majesty, do you think there will really be a locust plague?"

"Moreover, can the locust plague really be controlled?" Wei Zheng asked two questions in succession.

But no matter which one, Li Shimin didn't dare to answer him definitely.

"Let's go find that guy and ask him clearly." Li Shimin looked at the endless path in front of him and waved to Wei Zheng.

…

"This is the old house of Zhao Chen's family." When passing by Zhao Chen's old house, Li Shimin stopped and said to Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng was in a daze. \u003c

br\u003e

He knew that Zhao Chen came from the village, but he didn't expect that it would be so difficult.

To be honest, even their woodshed is better than here.

"Did Zhao Chen grow up here?" Wei Zheng asked hesitantly.

"Yes, the tiles above were repaired later. When I first came here last year, half of them were leaking."

"There are only two rooms inside, and by the way, the kitchen is also one. Zhao Chen sleeps in the kitchen at night."

"Although that boy is young, he is also filial. He has always reserved the cleaner room for his old servant Uncle Fu." Li Shimin spoke slowly, his words became a bit more, and his tone became more sad. .

"Your Majesty is right. Although Zhao Chen is stubborn and refuses to bow his head when encountering trouble, he still has nothing to say to his relatives and friends."

"Even as a minister, I always receive favors from him."

"Of course, it would be better if that guy didn't always think of ways to mess with me." Wei Zheng sighed, then shook his head with a smile.

"You also said that even I was embarrassed in front of that boy. For a long time, I didn't want to see him because I was afraid that the boy would embarrass me."

"You can see that when I don't see him, I feel very empty in my heart." Li Shimin also shook his head for a while.

Smiling and moving forward.

The village is not big to begin with. After turning a few corners, you will see greenery.

The mountains and fields are full of greenery.

In the mountains ahead, several people were bending down and busy working.

"Have you seen Mr. Zhao?" Li Shimin wiped the sweat from his forehead.

I haven't exercised for a long time, and I was a little tired after walking for such a long time.

"Is that one?" Wei Zheng rubbed his eyes and pointed to a figure in front of him and said to Li Shimin.
