    In a blink of an eye, it was the third day of the birthday banquet. At night, the scene was still as lively.

    In fact, many people are a little tired, thinking that they can start to rest tomorrow and not have to go to such a noisy place with a lot of big bosses, which inspired their final enthusiasm.

    The ones who are really reluctant to leave are some old people and children.

    Especially the nobles and elders of the clan, they like this kind of liveliness. They can chat with old friends everywhere and recall the past.

    The reason why children are happy is even simpler.

    There are things to eat and play here, and you can also watch lively operas. How nice is that?

    They wish they could do this every day, without having to go to school or learn anything, just eat, drink and have fun?

    Liu Mingqi came over today, as usual, to chat with Du Lifeng first.

    He can¡¯t talk for too long or too much at once, otherwise it will make Du Lifeng uncomfortable.

    This morning, Du Lifeng, who had determined that Liu Mingqi did not dislike the pumpkin, sent fifty kilograms of pumpkin in one go.

    This is his reflection on his hometown and a kind of sustenance.

    Being able to give Liu Mingqi so much shows how much he values ??his friendship with Liu Mingqi.

    Then Liu Mingqi immediately sent back ten bottles of orchid essential oil to Du Lifeng, and then asked his servants to learn how to use orchid essential oil to massage Du Lifeng.

    According to the report from the maid who brought the orchid essential oil, the prince actually cried because he felt so comfortable, saying that he had never known that there was such a comfortable enjoyment in the world before.

    ¡°Little Heiwa is still too innocent!

    Liu Mingqi felt for a moment that he should introduce His Highness Liu Mingjing, the little prodigal son of Huacong, to him, otherwise he would really not know what the ultimate happiness in the world is.

    After chatting, Liu Mingqi walked into the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

    Before his butt was even hot, he suddenly saw Zhao Shou, the eunuch in charge, running in from outside and rushing to the side of Prime Minister Cao Yi.

    "It's really hard for Eunuch Zhao to be fifty-one years old and still be able to walk like flying."

    He only said a few words, and Cao Yi's table became uproar.

    Cao Yi immediately got up and walked out, and then several officials went to the table next to them to inform the news After such a series of reactions, the four prime ministers, deputy prime ministers, six ministers, etc. all left.

    For a time, there were dozens of people missing from their side.

    The clan disciples and noble disciples on the side were all astonished, and they all speculated that something important had happened that actually caused a group of big bosses to leave regardless of etiquette.

    At this time, many people are thinking that this is not too serious. If the emperor does not show up at the birthday banquet later, then something serious will happen.

    But some smart people have already guessed that Emperor Jinghe will definitely not come.

    Because the person who came to call for someone was his chief steward Zhao Shou, which proved that the person waiting for Cao Yi and other important ministers in another place must be the emperor.

    The result was just as they thought. When the Queen Mother came in, she was not accompanied by the Emperor. Instead, she was accompanied by the Queen and the Prince, one on the left and one on the right.

    Things are really getting serious now!

    Although the descendants of the clan and nobles cannot directly participate in government affairs, they are still very interested in such gossip.

    The bigger the matter, the more serious their gossip.

    It¡¯s a pity that no one tells them now.

    The Qianqing Palace is brightly lit and there are a lot of people coming and going, but the Qianniu Guards strictly guard the surrounding area, and no relevant personnel are allowed to approach.

    It wasn¡¯t until the birthday banquet was over that the news came out.

    Just 9 days ago, a large-scale locust plague suddenly appeared in Shandong due to drought. From the beginning to the point where it became uncontrollable, it took only today.

    These overwhelming locusts are now flying towards the Gyeonggi area!

    Shandong officials still had experience and knew how powerful it was, so as soon as they found out that the disaster was out of control, they immediately used the fastest 800-mile horse to rush to report to the court urgently and remind the court to make the most adequate preparations and plans.

    A total of 6 batches of messengers and 27 horses were exchanged along the way, and it finally took 3 days to arrive in the capital and went straight to the outside of the palace.

    The 800-mile expedited service is not something that can be used under normal circumstances. Once used, the courier will definitely put three red flags on his back. No matter who is on the road, if he does not dodge, he deserves to be hit and killed, and he will also have to deal with the obstruction.  crime.

    Officials and city officials who see three red flags along the way must also provide information.Can't be eliminated.

    At this time, we still don¡¯t know how big this locust plague will be and how big of a disaster it will cause.

    Because of their ignorance about the future, even the princes, princesses and others were talking enthusiastically.

    You read that right, they were a little excited.

    It¡¯s none of your business, so don¡¯t bother yourself.

    "Sages who are compassionate and compassionate are, after all, only a minority among the minority.

    Liu Mingqi, who was dragged by Liu Mingguan to talk about poetry all night, felt that his head was buzzing and he did not participate.

    But Liu Mingguan pulled him, "Mingqi, what do you think?"

    "ah?"

    "How many disasters will the locust plague cause? Will there be many human tragedies in Beijing, and the number of people selling their children and girls will suddenly increase sharply?" Liu Mingguan said with some worry.

    "Just relax, Brother Mingguan, it's no big deal." Liu Mingqi said lazily.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know why His Highness the Crown Prince thinks so?¡± A man with a long face and a slightly gloomy aura next to him answered with a smile.

    Liu Mingqi glanced at him.

    The person who spoke was Jishangong Liu Mingxin, the second son of Prince Li¡¯s Mansion.

    However, because Liu Mingxin was the son of a concubine, although he was also a duke, his status was naturally not comparable to that of the concubine's son.

    According to Liu Mingjing, a gossip in the capital, Liu Mingxin¡¯s status in Prince Li¡¯s Palace is very low, but his temper is relatively tolerant, he has no bad reputation outside, and his sense of presence is very low.

    Note: Rice should be harvested around 55 days after ear emergence.  Based on this calculation, the current harvest in Shandong and Henan provinces is generally between August and September of the Chinese calendar.

    ??It would naturally be July or August of the lunar calendar in the Dakang Dynasty. According to the needs of the plot, it is slightly delayed by about 10-20 days, which is not consistent with the facts. Please forgive me.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
