Chapter 205 Sun Jian, the Commander-in-Chief of the Tiger Army, has arrived by imperial decree!



After so many lotteries, the only weapons that could be considered firearms were those few hand grenades.

This is only after Sun Jian modified it from a landmine.

The system had previously stated that the appearance of landmines was a bug in the system, and that in the future, regardless of the level or quality of the lottery, prizes that could influence the changes of feudal dynasties would no longer be triggered.

At most, it will only trigger some automated or semi-automated tools.

Aside from tools, don't even think about other high-tech products and firearms!

Even if Sun Jian had an incredible stroke of luck, it would be impossible!

Moreover, even if the system provided high-tech products, Sun Jian was powerless to help in the face of such a massive locust plague.

"Only by overcoming fear and ensuring that officials and common people throughout the court act in accordance with the plan can the locust plague be transformed from chaos into order and disaster into auspiciousness!"

"It seems that the imperial court is more anxious than we are right now."

At this point, Sun Jian pointed out the window towards the direction of the imperial city.

If he is not mistaken, the person who summoned him to the palace to meet the emperor is already on his way.

"Qingcheng, help me change my clothes, I may have to go to the palace soon!"

"good!"

...

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

Gu Hu and the others all had gloomy expressions on their faces.

Old Jiang and the others were completely bewildered by what Sun Jian said, because they knew nothing about the whole thing from beginning to end.

It is even more unclear what exactly the method Sun Jian was referring to was.

But no matter what, they only believed in Sun Jian.

As long as Sun Jian says there's no problem, then even if the sky falls, it can be resolved.

There's no reason why, it's simply because of trust.

"My lord, how should we deal with you after you enter the palace?"

Zhou Wan'er asked.

"Yes, my lord. Although the court has appointed Governor Yao as the imperial envoy to manage this locust plague, you were the one who proposed all these policies and plans. After you enter the palace, the court will definitely send you to assist in the management."

"If you leave, how will our Sun family cope with this disaster?"

Gu Zijian also asked Sun Jian for his opinion.

They were afraid that if Sun Jian left and didn't return to the mansion for several days, the Sun family would lose its leader and wouldn't know how to make any decisions.

Sun Jian thought for a moment and then gave his reply.

"Where locusts go, all vegetation will be devoured, leaving no grass or shrubs to grow."

"Even if my plan is strictly implemented, many people will still be affected!"

"It wouldn't be accurate to say that there are corpses everywhere from the dead, but in the face of a major disaster, many people will definitely lose their lives!"

"At that time, a large number of refugees and starving people will emerge throughout the country!"

"Kyoto and its surrounding areas will also be plunged into a period of fear and panic."

"Just in case, let our new workshop cease production, all Qiankun Hall shops close down, and no member of the Sun family should leave without my permission. The guards should be on high alert."

"In addition, we must store up the grain properly and keep it safe!"

"good!"

Everyone nodded in unison, firmly taking Sun Jian's words to heart.

"My lord, you must be careful in everything you do..."

Sun Jian had finished dressing and was about to leave when Chu Qingcheng reminded him of something.

Not only her, but the entire Sun family was worried about Sun Jian's safety.

Don't worry.

Sun Jian smiled and strode out of the Sun residence.

What will happen when you go to the palace? What will the emperor say? What will the ministers say?

Sun Jian knew exactly which way things would ultimately go.

You can even guess it with a high degree of accuracy.

Since he could foresee it in advance, he naturally knew how to deal with it, so Sun Jian was not worried about that.

As soon as Sun Jian stepped out of the mansion, General Li You appeared at the gate of Sun's mansion on horseback with an empty carriage.

Judging from his appearance, he must have received His Majesty's decree and rushed over without stopping.

"General Sun, His Majesty orders you to enter the palace immediately for an audience with the Emperor!"

"good!"

Sun Jian did not hesitate and followed Li You into the carriage.

The two didn't exchange a word on the way, and both knew what was going on.

This locust plague was far more terrifying than they had imagined. Although Li You had not seen it with his own eyes, he had previously accompanied Gan Wu during the locust plague in the Taiji Hall and heard reports and descriptions from several officials.

Li You only hoped that the locust plague would subside quickly. He also hoped that the court would strictly implement the plan proposed by Sun Jian, without any disagreements, and without any sudden changes at the last minute!

Otherwise, a major undertaking could truly lead to utter disaster!

The two quickly arrived at the palace.

At this moment, all the officials were present in the Taiji Hall.

There were at least sixty or seventy people at a glance.

Luckily, the Taiji Hall is big enough, otherwise there really wouldn't be enough room for so many people!

This scene is almost like a small-scale morning court assembly!

Standing at the very front were: Prime Minister Lin Xuanfu, Imperial Censor Yi Yuwei, and Governor-General of Yongzhou and Grand Tutor Yao Tianzheng, these three powerful figures.

After them came the Crown Prince and the Princes.

Crown Prince Li Gancheng, Second Prince Li Chengru.

The fourth prince is leading troops outside the capital and has not yet returned to the capital. As for the other princes, they are not yet qualified to participate in court affairs.

Next in order are several ministers.

Minister of Revenue Mi Zhu, Minister of Rites Li Kui, Minister of Works Xing Kang, etc.

As for Wei Xian, the Minister of War, he has been imprisoned, and the Ministry of War is temporarily being taken over by a Vice Minister whom Sun Jian does not know.

Following the six ministers, other high-ranking officials, including the Prefect of the Capital, the Censorate, the Court of Judicial Review, the Court of State Ceremonies, and the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, were also present.

Even the ministers who greeted Sun Jian when he first entered the court were present.

One was named Fu Hui, and the other was named Li Hengzhi!

Although Sun Jian had forgotten their official positions and which departments they worked in, he could still vaguely remember their faces.

When everyone saw Sun Jian arrive, they all turned their gazes toward him.

Everyone in the Taiji Hall was a high-ranking official or powerful minister in the imperial court; otherwise, they wouldn't have been gathered here at this moment!

They all knew Sun Jian and had seen him in person.

After all, Sun Jian had attended the morning court session once.

There were far more people at the morning court session than there are now in the Taiji Hall!

At this moment, when they looked at Sun Jian, their expressions varied: some were complicated, some were happy, some were jealous, and some were hostile.

Today, Sun Jian is not only a prominent figure both inside and outside Dagan, but also the one who provided the strategy for controlling this locust plague!

Let alone them, who in and around Da Gan doesn't know Sun Jian?

Most people may never have seen him, but his name is already well-known!

Numerous versions of the various events and stories have been circulated.

Sun Jian ignored the gazes and expressions of these people and followed Li You to the Emperor's presence.

"Your Majesty! Sun Jian, the Crown Prince's tutor and Commander-in-Chief of the Tiger Warriors, has arrived by imperial decree!"

After Li You entered the hall, he respectfully bowed to Emperor Qianwu, who sat high on the dragon throne, exuding an aura of majesty and domineering power, and began to speak.
