Subverted This is the Emperor Chat Group

The two emperors of the Tang Dynasty were really bad.

But now they don't bother to talk to Li Shimin, this guy's reform of history has changed beyond recognition, and it's too insulting to his IQ to watch too much.

They still prefer to listen to the story of Yao Chong's catching locusts. After all, this was an extraordinary feat in the feudal dynasty!

Friends of wives:

"I just want to know how Yao Chong tried his best to defy everyone's opinions and hate the sky!"

"Then let everyone agree with him to catch locusts?"

"This is very difficult to do in the Tang Dynasty, which was ruled by Confucianism!"

The other emperors also nodded, especially Zhu Di and others, they understood better:

In the era ruled by Confucianism, how difficult it is to catch locusts and make people deny the interaction between heaven and man!

Chen Tong also had great admiration for Yao Chong. Although Yao Chong had many shortcomings as a minister, Yao Chong had more distinct advantages.

Chen Tong:

"Yao Chong is actually the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty that I recognize more, the biggest characteristic of this person is his pragmatism!

Do practical things.

In the third year of Kaiyuan, a large area of ​​locust plagues appeared in Shandong.

Because Li Longji often staged coups, he kicked his father down and killed his aunt Princess Taiping. For a while, his reputation among the people was not very good.

Since he ascended the throne, in the first year of Kaiyuan and the second year of Kaiyuan, there have been continuous droughts, the foundation was already unstable, and there were many complaints from the people.

Then in the third year of Kaiyuan, the plague of locusts struck, and Li Longji was so scared that he almost peed his pants.

He was very afraid that he, like Tang Taizong Li Shimin, would be turned into a sieve by others, and he was even more afraid that someone would take this opportunity to stage a coup.

But at this moment, Yao Chong stood up. He himself was not a Confucianist, and he didn't believe in the connection between heaven and man at all, so he did something that made everyone dumbfounded.

He even suggested that all states and counties should catch locusts to minimize agricultural losses!

Li Longji was stunned at the time, thinking that this kind of thinking was simply too unbelievable!

I didn't dare at all, for fear of being criticized verbally and in writing.

As a result, Yao Chong persisted and insisted on Li Longji to deal with this matter.

Li Longji was forced to do nothing by Yao Chong, so he could only let Yao Chong handle this matter, but he had a request that he must not let his own reputation be damaged.

Also let Yao Chong persuade the Manchaowu and all the local officials of the prefectures and counties by himself.

Anyway, he didn't want to take care of it, and he didn't want to be in charge, Yao Chong would be blamed if anything happened.

All of a sudden, criticisms from the government and the public pressed down on Yao Chong like a landslide and tsunami. "

In the chat group, the emperors were all shocked.

One can imagine how dangerous it is for one person to fight against the whole world.

If this is not done well, the graves of the ancestors will be dug up.

Chapter 615. Chapter 627

In the chat group, the emperors all stared nervously at the chat group. They all wanted to know how Yao Chong dealt with the overwhelming pressure of public opinion in Yao Chong's era.

How did you turn the tide?

Friends of wives:

"Except for the opposition of Li Longji, an idiot, who else is against it?"

"Any novel ideas?"

Of course there is!

Chen Tong thought of that era, people put forward all kinds of opinions in order to oppose Yao Chong's extermination of locusts, and he felt that the ancients were too powerful.

Chen Tong:

"The first person to object was of course Li Longji, who was afraid of the Confucian theory of interaction between heaven and man, and feared that his imperial power would be unstable.

Yao Chong was willing to bear all the consequences, so he sent Li Longji away.

Next, all kinds of opposing voices came overwhelmingly.

The most representative one was Lu Huaishen, a big man at the time, who was Yao Chong's deputy and was born in the Lu family of Fanyang.

As the main figure of the clan, of course he must try his best to protect the interests of the clan. Whenever there is a natural disaster, the dirty water must be poured on the emperor first.

Seeing that the induction between heaven and man could not work, Yao Chong simply ignored it, so Lu Huaishen proposed a very classic opposing theory.

他 说:

Locusts are living beings. Yao Chong ordered everyone to kill the locusts. Isn't this killing life?

Heaven has the virtue of loving life, but killing is a great sin!

So you can't kill locusts!

Does this statement sound familiar? "

What the hell!

The corners of the emperors' mouths twitched, and Cao Cao scolded very impolitely at that time.

Friends of wives:

"Isn't this fucking moral kidnapping!"

"I don't believe that Lu Huaishen doesn't eat meat?"

"Isn't he killing himself by eating meat?"

Liu Bang also had a look of resentment on his face. Those who said this had a brain full of holes!

Are you using my skills like this?

Have you paid patent fees?

Not all the ones who killed the white snake were Xu Xian's deceitful sage:

"I'm convinced!"

"According to what he said, then he should stop eating and drinking at all."

"There are creatures in this water."

"It really doesn't hurt to stand and talk."

Li Yuan was even more angry and cursed, a guy like this should be chopped up directly, and he even said that killing locusts is not merciful!

If you are so merciful, why don't you let the locusts eat you?

The unremarkable Li family leader in troubled times, the heroic leader:

"What I hate the most is this kind of sanctimonious person!"

"I don't believe he never killed in his life."

"What to wear?"

"It's definitely against for the sake of being against."

Yang Guang, Emperor Wu of Han and others were furious. If Lu Huaishen dared to say this in his own dynasty, they would have the guts to kill him.

No matter who you are, no matter what kind of person you are!

He even said such naive and irresponsible words.

He even said that to kill locusts is to kill life, and to protect locusts.

I'll go to your uncle!

How many ditches have been opened and how much water has been poured into this brain?

................

Chen Tong also shook his head. He really didn't understand these people who raised objections on the grounds of compassion. Are they really compassionate or fake compassion?

Chen Tong:

"When Yao Chong heard what Lu Huaishen said, he must have been very angry at the time, thinking that this guy had some brain problems.

Back then.

Yao Chong said: In your eyes, locusts are living beings, you should be merciful!

What about the tens of thousands of Tang people?

Are these not creatures?

If the locusts are not killed, the people will starve to death.

In order to protect the locusts, you abandoned your people. Is this what you call mercy?

One sentence left Lu Huaishen speechless.

Don’t dare to say that killing locusts is not compassionate anymore! "

At this moment, Empress Lu also had a look of disdain in her eyes.

First Empress Dowager:

"I've summed it up. People who make such claims, in the final analysis, are too full to eat!"

"If his own parents, wife and children are starved to death, and his family's food is eaten up by locusts, do you think he can kill the locusts?"

"They're all people who don't hurt their backs when they stand and talk!"

Liu Bang has no choice but to give a thumbs up to his wife at this moment, this sums it up perfectly!

These people are really full and have nothing to do.

Liu Bang even wants to say at this moment, it's all my fault, why do you want to pay so lightly?

Let these people never have enough to eat, and see if they will be poor!
