After eating locusts in front of everyone, Li Xiu did not stop at the city gate and rushed directly to the palace. After all, he had done everything he could. As for how to promote the locust eating, it depends on Xu Jingzong's ability.

The carriage passed through the bustling Zhuque Street. Although there were fewer pedestrians on the street due to the locust plague, it was still very lively. However, Li Xiu found that many of the caravans entering and leaving today were loaded with food, which also made Li Xiu's heart sank. Affected by the locust plague, the food prices would probably soar in a few days. Even those with some eyesight might start to hoard food.

After a while, Li Xiu's carriage entered the imperial city, and then went to Liangyi Hall to see Li Shimin. However, as soon as he arrived outside the hall, he heard a violent quarrel inside, which made Li Xiu stunned. This was the first time he heard someone dared to quarrel like this loudly in Liangyi Hall.

Because Liangyi Hall was too big, Li Xiu couldn't hear what was quarreling inside while standing at the door. He just heard the quarrels inside becoming more and more intense. Li Xiu also heard that one of the quarrels was Li Shimin. But to his surprise, there was another quarrel that was even louder than Li Shimin's shouting, which made Li Xiu admire the other party's courage. After all, there were not many people who dared to challenge Li Shimin in person.

"Huh? This... this sound seems to be familiar?" But at this moment, Li Xiu suddenly whispered, because he felt that the loudest sound was very familiar, and he should be his acquaintance, but he couldn't remember the other party's identity for a moment?

"Get out~, get out of here!" Just as Li Xiu was thinking, he suddenly heard Li Shimin inside finally burst into anger, and even the people outside the door could hear it very clearly. This also shocked Li Xiu. If he could make Li Shimin so angry that he would not kill him, the people inside were definitely the number one figure in the Tang Dynasty.

With Li Shimin's roar, the people inside did not seem to come out immediately. Instead, they said a few more words fiercely, and Li Shimin roared angrily. Finally, he heard footsteps. Li Xiu was also very curious about this "magic man". He hid behind the pillar beside the door and watched. In a short while, he saw a few people inside. The leader was long beards. Although he was thin, he stood straight and looked very tough.

"So it's him!" Li Shimin was stunned when he saw the middle-aged man in the head. Then he smiled bitterly and said in a low voice that this person was his old acquaintance Wei Zheng.

Speaking of which, Wei Zheng was also Li Xiu's old boss. At the beginning, Wei Zheng was the top leader in the Ministry of Agriculture, but he had other responsibilities, so Yang Nong was always in charge. Later, Li Shimin launched the Xuanwu Gate. Wei Zheng was originally Li Jiancheng's confidant, but he was blocked at home by Li Shimin's army. However, Li Shimin cherished his talents, so he was temporarily removed from his official position, and the Ministry of Agriculture also handed over to Yang Nong for his care.

Li Xiu hadn't seen Wei Zheng for a long time, but he didn't expect to see him again here. Seeing him wearing a purple robe, he should have been activated by Li Shimin again. However, Wei Zheng's stubborn temper had not changed at all, otherwise he would not have made Li Shimin angry like that.

Seeing Wei Zheng leaving with several officials angrily, Li Xiu did not come out to meet the other party. He was mainly afraid that Wei Zheng would take him to quarrel with Li Shimin. This was definitely something that Wei Zheng could do with Wei Zheng's temper. Li Xiu could not say anything about him, and he didn't want to quarrel with Li Shimin, so it was better to hide.

After Wei Zheng and others left, Li Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, but at this time he was a little embarrassed, because Li Shimin in the hall was also angry. If he went in, he might bump into the hall, but he was summoned by Li Shimin again. It would be impossible not to enter. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and walked into the hall with a tough bullet.

The atmosphere in the hall was very depressing. The palace maids and eunuchs in the hall were all shrank their necks and their heads, and they didn't even dare to let out a sense of vigor. Until they saw Li Xiu coming in, these palace maids and eunuchs were relieved. They all knew Li Xiu and knew that this duke should be able to calm His Majesty's anger and they could finally be relieved.

Seeing these palace maids and eunuchs relaxing, Li Xiu couldn't help but complain in his heart that if possible, he really wanted to charge these palace maids and eunuchs to relieve stress. After all, when he came, he was all under pressure from these palace maids and eunuchs.

When Li Xiu saw Li Shimin, he saw the other party sitting behind the Dragon Case in anger, his chest fluctuating violently, as if he was trying to suppress the anger in his chest. The memorials on the table had been swept all over the ground by him, and there were scattered memorials everywhere. The eunuchs around him dared not pick them up, and could only let the memorials sent by these officials through hardships lie on the ground like waste paper.

Seeing this situation, Li Xiu sighed secretly, and did not persuade him. Instead, he walked over silently, and slowly picked up the memorial on the ground and put it in place. At this time, Li Shimin also saw him and opened his mouth as if he wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say. However, when he saw Li Xiu picking up the memorial again, his anger slowly calmed down.

When Li Xiu put all the memorials back on the Dragon Case, he smiled and said, "Why is Your Majesty so angry? I just saw Wei Zheng leaving angrily. I wonder what you are arguing about?"

"What else can it be? It's just because of the self-criticism!" When Li Xiu mentioned Wei Zheng, Li Shimin couldn't help but say angrily again.

As soon as he heard the imperial edict of self-criticism, Li Xiu couldn't help but admire Wei Zheng's courage again. He participated in this matter as soon as he was activated. You should know that if the imperial edict of self-criticism was issued, it would be possible that Li Shimin would be charged with killing his brother and imprisoning his father. This is not a trivial matter. Maybe Li Shimin would kill people in anger. What's more, Wei Zheng was also Li Jiancheng's old minister, and his identity was very sensitive. If it were Li Xiu, he would definitely stay as far as he could.

"Your Majesty, the locust plague has occurred now, and the edict of guilt is actually not very important. The most important thing at the moment is how to rescue the disaster and how to resettle the victims after the disaster!" Li Xiu pondered for a moment and spoke again.

"Yes, I said that just now, but Wei Zheng and other stubborn people are just following this problem and insisting on asking me to issue this self-criticism. Is it not as important in their eyes that the lives of the victims are as important as an edict?" Hearing that Li Xiu supported him, Li Shimin also said angrily again.
