"Escort!" The minister shouted quickly when he saw an unknown object flying towards the emperor.

Accompanied by various exclamations, the sound of dishes breaking, tables falling to the ground, and swords being drawn out of their sheaths also followed one after another.

There was complete chaos at the banquet.

Some people dodged and looked at the emperor, fearing that something might happen to the emperor, but in the end they only saw a group of people surrounding there, but the emperor was not visible.

Seeing that they couldn't get close to the emperor, those gangsters began to hack anyone they saw with the determination to die.

But if someone observes carefully, it can be seen that these people actually have a goal.

The guards didn't know that this was a scene between the emperor and King Chen, and they all devoted themselves to guarding and fighting the assassin.

Si Xingjian didn't want to lose his people here, so he said "keep alive", and joined the battle with a knife in his hand.

He seems to be helping to catch the assassin, but in fact he is avoiding unnecessary casualties.

A quarter of an hour later, the assassination subsided.

There were various speculations in the minds of the ministers: King Chen set up a banquet in Changqing Palace, could it be that he wanted to take the opportunity to murder the emperor so as to usurp the throne?But King Chen seemed to be trying his best to protect the emperor just now?

Perhaps, it was because the emperor couldn't tolerate King Chen, so he purposely acted to put the blame on King Chen?So in order to protect himself, King Chen had to put his own safety at risk?

Probably the wantonness of King Chen before was because he guessed that the emperor would not tolerate him, so he smashed the pot and threw it.

I don't know how the emperor's situation is, and who succeeded...

Many people feel uneasy.

Then I learned that the emperor was not injured, it was the queen who blocked the arrow for the emperor, and now the queen is still in a coma.

Ministers: It seems a little inappropriate to praise "the emperor is an auspicious man with a natural appearance".

So everyone praised the queen for being affectionate and righteous, and if she was loyal to the emperor, she would surely turn danger into good luck.

Si Xingzheng: If the empress turned danger into good luck, wouldn't it be a waste of money for him to fetch water from the bamboo basket?

He asked the ministers to disperse with an uneasy face, and arranged for the imperial physician to check the injured patients.

He was a little curious: King Chen proposed to arrange it himself, just to take the opportunity to hurt those ministers?What's the meaning of this, could it be that these people have offended King Chen before?

As for King Chen's little trick of hiding it from him, he was not angry.It's just to let those people see some blood, and they didn't kill them, King Chen has a sense of proportion.

If the ministers could hear the voice of the emperor, I am afraid they would want to quit.

After the ministers expressed their concern to the emperor, they thought of going to see their colleagues, only to hear that Prime Minister Su was also injured.

Could it be that King Chen did it?

When they heard that it was Prime Minister Su who sprained his foot and was stepped on, many ministers were inexplicably disappointed.

In fact, these are also inseparable from Si Xingjian.

He made people attack these ministers, not aimlessly.

If it was really an assassin, it would be reasonable to do that, and the courtiers he injured were all people who were involved with Lingnan or were co-opted by the queen.

Those people may not know that Lingnan was taken over by Prince Jing's cronies, but they provided shelter for Lingnan to some extent.

Of course, in order not to arouse suspicion, Si Xingjian also let the "assassins" injure several corrupt officials.

There were also a few loyal ministers who were unable to dodge in time and suffered unreasonable disasters, but their injuries were not serious.

In this way, no one will be able to find out what the wounded have in common, and will only think that the assassin jumped the wall in a hurry.

Si Xingjian was not stained with blood, but he still took a bath and changed his clothes before staying in the house.

As soon as Si Anzhen saw him, he lowered his voice and asked mysteriously, "Daddy, is everything going well?"

"Successful." Si Xingjian was not surprised that Zai Zai could guess this, and he would not protect Zai Zai tightly.

Born in the royal family, being too simple is not a good thing.

Zai Zai doesn't need to be scheming, but he can't even protect himself.

However, it's too early to tell Zai Zai about this in detail. Seeing Zai Zai's curious face, he wanted to ask what happened, so he compared Bi Zai Zai's height.

Si An immediately covered his head in horror.

Now that it was hot, he didn't wear his hat very often, so he touched his hair.

He still has a lot of hair!

Si Xingjian took Zai Zai's hand down and rubbed Zai Zai's soft hair that was not too long.

Zai Zai is still young, so he doesn't wear his hair in a bun. His hair on the sides and back of his head is relatively short, and the hair on the top of his head is slightly longer.

In fact, many children have this hairstyle, which is similar to modern children.

Si Xingjian: "Don't worry, adults will handle those matters. Eat well and grow up, and in a few years, you will be able to share your worries for Dad."

"An'an wants to help daddy now!"

Si Xingjian felt that Zai Zai was just too boring, so he arranged some small things for Zai Zai to do.

Those dreams made Zai Zai, who was already smart, like to think more, and became a little adult with things in his head.

It is still necessary to let Zai Zai get along with peers more.

So after the queen's funeral was completed, Si Xingjian took Zai Zai to Zhuangzi.

Because the weather is a bit hot now, and the emperor is unwilling to waste money on the grounds of the drought and the empress's frugality, the relevant matters will be completed within ten days.

The queen's father had a stroke because he couldn't bear the blow of losing his daughter.

——This is an external statement, but it is actually because he is also involved in the First Prince's affairs.

Si Xingzheng didn't do anything to the eldest prince, the child was innocent, although it wasn't his, but after all, it had been kept in front of his eyes for six years, so he asked the eldest prince to keep watch for the empress.

I will find another opportunity to send the First Prince away later.

In these matters, it is impossible to tell who is right and who is wrong, but the positions are different, and winners and losers.

Si Xingzheng was infertile due to poisoning, and arranged for Lu's fake pregnancy to give birth to the eldest princess, making the queen bear the name of childlessness. He was ashamed of the queen, but he had a lot of helplessness because of his status as emperor.

And what the queen did was really unacceptable to him.

At this point in the matter, he just felt relieved and didn't feel too much guilt.

Maybe it's because the emperor is ruthless, Si Xingzheng laughed at himself.

After all the dust settled, Si Xingzheng wanted to find someone to share the joy in his heart.

Although Zheng Xi was also an insider, he was a slave after all, so Si Xingzheng asked someone to invite King Chen into the palace.

"Did King Chen go to Zhuangzi?" Si Xingzheng frowned when he heard the news.

Didn't you agree to treat him?What about acupuncture?

Zheng Xi replied: "King Chen said that he lives on Zhuangzi and can observe the breeding of locusts nearby."

Si Xingzheng snorted, "It's all an excuse."

"Then the old slave is going to invite King Chen back?" Zheng Xi asked tentatively.

"Forget it, let him hide for a while, he will be busy in the future."

Prime Minister Su was injured and sued for leave for a period of time, as well as those injured courtiers, he can take the opportunity to take back his power.

Waiting for Prime Minister Su's request, let King Chen take the position of prime minister for the time being.

When Si Xingjian went to Zhuangzi, he really had the intention of avoiding laziness. He felt that he had done enough as an idle prince.

What he did at the birthday banquet was for once and for all, not asking for trouble.

The follow-up matters should be taken care of by the emperor.

After two months, Si Anzhen returned to Zhuangzi again, and the friends here still remember him.

In addition to reading and writing every day, he also goes to glean wheat ears and herd cattle with his friends, but what he grazes is ashes.

He doesn't have the squeamishness of a prince at all, only the curiosity of a child, and he will often run around in the fields with the children of Zhuangzi.

In less than a month, his white and tender little dumpling was stained by the sunshine in May, as if it had been smeared with honey.

Si Anzhen didn't feel sorry for his tan, he felt that he had grown a little bit taller, and he also learned how to herd a donkey to grow vegetables!In the future, he can grow tea trees to earn money.

Stepping on the setting sun, Si An Hui led Hui Hui home.

He carried a cloth bag on his back, which contained water bladders and fruits such as loquats, pears, dates, etc. Every day he went out, he could come back with a full harvest.

Although everyone knew that this was the lord's Zhuangzi, and that Xiaoshizi had everything he needed, they couldn't help but feed this cute cub because of their love.

Si An Hui washed the dates and gave them to his father to eat, and put the loquats aside, waiting for his father to peel them for him.

"Uncle Huang sent someone to invite us, shall we go back?"

Si Xingjian asked, "Do you want to go back?"

Si An was very embarrassed: "Ah Shu said that June [-]th will be very lively."

"June [-]th, show off the grain." According to the custom, in addition to drying grain, clothes and books on this day, there are also new grains harvested, as well as various melons and fruits. Every village will hold a party. Pray for good weather and good harvests in the remaining days.

Si Xingjian said: "Then let's talk about it after June [-]th."

"Then An An's birthday was celebrated on Zhuangzi?"

"Why, you don't like it?"

Si Anhui: "It's not that I don't like it, but... what about Uncle Huang?"

"Then do you want to go back?"

"Where is daddy, there is An'an."

Si Xingjian tapped Zaizai's forehead with a straight finger, and said with a smile: "Little cunning, then stay here."

On the first day of June, Si Anzheng's fourth birthday.

Si An has been looking forward to it since he woke up in the morning. This is the first birthday his father celebrated for him.

In the past, his birthdays were always spent in the palace. He roughly remembered last year's birthday. His father only gave him gifts, but he didn't go to accompany him.

Si Xingjian rarely makes things that do not belong to this world, but since Zaizai is a child and loves sweets, she made a cake for Zaizai.

And eating cakes like this will not have any big impact.

There are many fruits in this season, so Zai Zai's fruit cake is beautiful and rich.

After seeing it, Si An was so amazed that he couldn't bear to eat it.

Si Xingjian persuaded: "If you want to eat, Daddy will make it for you in the future."

But Si An shook his head and said, "An An only wants to eat on her birthday."

If you can eat it normally, it is not surprising.

His stomach is only so big that even if he doesn't eat the staple food, he can't fit it. He heard from his father that it would be broken the next day, so he had no choice but to share the cake with his friends.

Si Anzhen said to his father embarrassingly, "Next year's cake should be smaller."

He was reluctant to give it to others.

However, in the next few days, he would show off to everyone: "Dad made me a cake for An An's birthday, it was very sweet and beautiful..."

When Si Anzhen had just come out of the joy of his birthday, June [-]th was ushered in.

On this day, the threshing floor was very lively.

Farmers sang and danced, beat drums, danced lions, carved melons and fruits into beautiful shapes, made wheat cakes with newly harvested wheat, etc...

In such an atmosphere, it is easy for people to feel the joy of a good harvest.

However, heaven did not hear the farmers' prayers.

Within two days, people noticed that there were more locusts.

A cloud of locusts flew over, and the crops became bare.People are afraid and worried, but no one dares to act rashly on the locusts.

At this time, Lizheng suddenly struck a gong to notify people in various villages to buy locusts, and two catties of locusts could be exchanged for one catty of millet.

Catching locusts can not only keep the crops from being eaten, but also exchange them for food. Is there really such a good thing?

Some people didn't believe it at first, but some people were willing to try it. Later, when they heard that some people had actually obtained food, more and more daring people participated.

If the locusts are not wiped out, people will starve to death when the crops are eaten up, so it is better to gamble.

There are still some people who dare not catch locusts for fear of being punished by heaven, but this matter does not require everyone to participate.

Si Anxuan mobilized his little friends to catch insects together: "I am the heir of Prince Chen, I am not afraid, what are you afraid of? If the adults don't allow it, you can catch them secretly and come to me for copper coins."

Children like to catch insects and birds, and they are not as in awe of those sayings as adults.Children from ten miles and eight villages secretly catch them when they hear that they can be exchanged for money, so that the copper coins they earn can be hidden and spent by themselves.

In less than ten days, not to mention the locusts can cover the sky and the sun, not even a few locusts can be seen in half an acre of land.

Seeing the preserved crops, the common people all sighed: The one who bought the locusts is really a good person!

Si·Dahaoren·Xingjian has never done business at a loss. He asked people to make locusts into dishes, and gave one portion to the emperor, and another portion to several old gourmets in the capital. After some publicity, one A plate can be sold for 20 taels of silver.

The people who were grateful to Dade in the past, after knowing the price of a plate of locusts: profiteers!

You know, at this time, one tael of silver can buy four to five hundred catties of rice.

Two catties of locusts can be fried in a plate, and can be sold for 20 taels of silver, that is ten thousand catties of rice!But they only exchanged a catty of millet!

Where are the locusts?

Locust: I was terrified at that time!

This stuff is just a novelty, and when everyone knows about it, the price of raw locusts will go up, while the price of finished vegetables will go down.

Si Xingjian wasn't just here to earn the few hundred taels of silver.

Money touches people's hearts, and only huge profits can attract people.

Presumably there will be no more large-scale locust plagues from now on.
