As soon as the emperor said these words, the second prince and the third prince suddenly smiled on their faces.
Although it is not good to deal with your brother with outsiders, the move of lighting the brazier just now did kill all the locusts in the palace.
This also means that Chen Changfeng’s method can indeed solve the locust plague.
Now that the locust plague has been solved, the most urgent thing for them now is to unseat the prince, Chen Changfeng.
Only when the prince's position becomes vacant can they have the opportunity to sit in the prince's position.
Moreover, this was Chen Changfeng’s own boast about Haikou.
He boasted that he had at least five solutions.
If you want to blame him, you can only blame him, Chen Changfeng, who doesn't know the heights of the world.
The envoy of Dachu had a smile on his face.
Although he didn't expect that anyone could really solve this locust plague problem.
But even so, he would not make the people of the Ming Empire feel comfortable.
Killing the prince Chen Changfeng can be considered a small gain.
As for Chen Changfeng's statement that he had five ways to solve the locust plague, in the eyes of the Da Chu envoy, it was just a dream.
Chen Changfeng is so capable, why didn't he stand up when the locust plague broke out in the Ming Empire last year?
Moreover, this is a locust plague, something even the great Chu can't do anything about.
The Ming Dynasty could come up with a way because of God's mercy, and Chen Yuan, the Ming Emperor's ancestral tomb, was smoking.
Can you think of four other solutions?
joke!
All the officials also looked at Chen Changfeng, feeling a little hopeful and thinking that this was absolutely impossible.
There are so many officials standing here, but they can't do anything.
Chen Changfeng, a good-for-nothing prince, could come up with a solution. Thank God. What other solutions could he have?
"Your Majesty, I feel that if you can come up with a solution, you are already a genius. The rest..."
"Prime Minister, don't worry, I have many solutions." Prime Minister Yao Xiaoren originally wanted to persuade the emperor to stop here, but he did not want to be interrupted by Chen Changfeng.
Yao Xiaoren opened his mouth and wanted to say something else, but he heard Chen Changfeng continue: "Everyone was standing next to the brazier just now, did you smell anything?"
"smell?"
"What is the taste?"
"It smells like meat!"
"Yes, yes, it smells like meat!"
The officials whispered for a few words, and then someone reacted.
"Yes, it smells like meat. The locust plague is really terrifying. If we order the people all over the world to catch locusts and eat them..."
"No, this is absolutely not possible!" Before Chen Changfeng could finish speaking, he was interrupted by officials from Tai Hospital.
"Prince, locusts are poisonous and should not be eaten by humans," the official from the Imperial Hospital continued.
"It's true. Last year, some people were killed by locusts."
"Locusts are sent by God to punish our Ming Empire. How can we eat locusts? Isn't that an enemy of God?"
"That's right, the prince's idea cannot solve the problem of locust plague."
The ministers immediately made a lot of objections.
The second prince and the third prince smiled when they saw the objections of the officials.
At this moment, Chen Changfeng couldn't think of five solutions, and he still couldn't kill him.
Even if no one is killed, the position of this prince...
"Your Highness, eating locusts is the funniest idea I have ever heard."
"If the prince really has no choice, it's better not to say any more. If his head falls to the ground later, let the foreign ministers take a look." The envoy of Dachu looked proud.
He believed that Zhao Ping'an's head must fall to the ground.
The emperor's face looked a little ugly. He had known that Chen Changfeng's second method would be like this, so he had just spoken to stop it.
Such an approach is simply embarrassing.
Last year, there was a locust plague in the Ming Dynasty. Many people also wanted to eat locusts, which could not only solve the locust plague problem, but also solve the food ration problem.
But not long after, news came that many people who ate locusts died soon after.
Eating locusts is definitely not a good idea.
"Changfeng..."
"You know nothing!" Chen Changfeng said one sentence, which made the officials change their colors in excitement.
"His Royal Highness the Prince speaks dirty words, how dare you be so rude!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince insulted me. Could it be that I hurt His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
"If His Royal Highness has no choice, you can just admit it directly, why bother to curse?"
The officials were angry, but Chen Changfeng didn't even look at it.
"Father, if people are cannibalistic during a famine, how can we not eat locusts?" Chen Changfeng said to the emperor.
The emperor was stunned for a moment, then his expression turned gloomy.
Once the locust plague occurs, people will have nothing to gain.
When they are extremely hungry, the victims can only exchange their own children and then eat the exchanged children of others.
He even dares to eat human flesh.
Even his own children can only be exchanged with him.
Locusts, can’t you eat them?
Why is eating locusts an enemy of heaven, and eating other people's children is not destroying human relations?
"Furthermore, before the locusts cause a disaster, their colors are different, and they are not poisonous at that time."
"For example, the locusts we saw just now are all without any problems." Chen Changfeng continued.
Then he walked to the brazier, picked up a locust that was not completely burned on the ground, and stuffed it into his mouth while everyone looked at him in horror.
Although there is a bit of charcoal smell, it is still wrapped in the aroma of meat.
Chen Changfeng didn't even eat breakfast. Now he was eating roasted locusts, and he was actually a little hungry.
He picked up a few more roasted locusts and threw them into his mouth.
"It tastes good." Chen Changfeng smiled.
The emperor and officials all swallowed their saliva.
Not greedy, but a little scared.
They have never eaten locusts because everyone knows that locusts are poisonous.
As long as people eat poisonous locusts, they will quickly vomit.
But Chen Changfeng was in front of them, enjoying the delicious taste of locusts without any scruples.
Doesn't seem to worry about this issue.
"Father, why don't you take the lead and try it too?"
"The taste is really good." Chen Changfeng looked at the emperor again.
The emperor hesitated.
He felt that Chen Changfeng's idea was not that reliable.
But I thought that although the prince was not very reliable, he would never dare to harm his father.
Furthermore, there are people from the Taiji Hospital waiting in the Taiji Hall, so nothing will happen!
"Then let me try it too!" The emperor nodded and walked down the steps.
"No, Your Majesty, locusts are poisonous and must not be eaten."
"Your Majesty should put the dragon body first..."
"That's enough. If I don't dare to eat these locusts, how can the people in the world dare to eat them!" The emperor was quite decisive at this moment and interrupted everyone's dissuasion.
The envoys of Dachu were all happy.
Now, the emperor and the prince of the Ming Empire have both eaten locusts. If they die together later, Chu can directly take over the entire Ming Empire.
"Hey, it tastes really good." The emperor endured the fear in his heart and ate a locust, and then he felt the smell of meat lingering in his mouth.
It seems to be no different from the livestock meat we eat on daily basis.
"Yes, I have to eat a few more." The emperor had a satisfied smile on his face, and the eunuch Liu Xi quickly picked up a few more roasted locusts.
"Your Majesty, is it really okay?" Prime Minister Yao Xiaoren asked the emperor.
The officials of the Tai Hospital on the side were already on standby, ready to rescue His Majesty the Emperor at any time.
"No problem, I won't have any trouble after eating it. Prime Minister, you can try it too." The emperor handed Prime Minister Yao Xiaoren a roasted locust.
Yao Xiaoren's face turned a little pale, as if the roasted locusts in his hands were poison that would seal his throat upon seeing blood.
But under the emperor's gaze, he still gritted his teeth and ate the locusts.
The envoy of Dachu was even more happy.
This is killing three birds with one stone. If the Ming Empire collapses, I will ask the emperor to build a shrine for Chen Changfeng.
He, Chen Changfeng, was a hero of the Chu Empire.
However, as time passed slowly, the emperor stuffed locusts into his mouth one by one, and the man was almost full.
But I didn't see any signs of discomfort. This chapter has been completed!
