Chapter Five The Crown Prince Suggests You to Die Quickly
"I think it would be better if I could put some salt in it."
“It tastes a bit like mutton, but much tenderer.”
"I think it would be better if I put some oil on it. It tastes a bit dry when I eat it this way. How about I ask someone to bring me some tea?"
"Hey, Liu Xi, go and get some cups of tea for me, the prince, and the prime minister."
All the officials were worried about the emperor, fearing that he would be poisoned by eating locusts.
As a result, the emperor and Yao Xiaoren were discussing in the Tai Chi Hall what should be put in the locusts to make them more delicious?
They even had someone bring tea.
It is said that the locust is a bit dry.
What's happening here?
Could it be said that these locusts are really not poisonous?
This is impossible?
Last year, many people died because of eating locusts.
Officials from Tai Hospital were also confused.
"Your Highness, what's going on?" An official from the Taiyuan Hospital walked up to Chen Changfeng with curiosity on his face.
The rest of the people also looked at Chen Changfeng.
Both the emperor and the prime minister felt that there was nothing wrong with them, but they had just eaten a little too much and their stomachs were a little full.
They were all locusts, so why did people die after being eaten last year, but today...
"What color are the locusts you just saw?" Chen Changfeng asked with a smile.
"It seems to be green." An official whispered.
"Yes, it's cyan."
"What color were the locusts during the locust plague?" Chen Changfeng asked again.
"Gold, yes, it's gold."
"Are the golden locusts poisonous, while the cyan ones are non-poisonous?" Someone reacted immediately.
"As I said just now, the colors of locusts before and after the locust plague are different. Now that the locust plague has not yet formed, locusts can be eaten."
"Eating these locusts can save people's food rations, increase the diversity of food, and exterminate locusts on a large scale before a locust disaster occurs. Why not?"
"As for the guy who just said that locusts are a disaster from heaven and cannot be eaten, my prince's suggestion is that you die as soon as possible." Chen Changfeng's voice sounded in the Tai Chi Hall.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really thoughtful in making such a discovery."
"I didn't expect that there is actually a second method."
"The prince is so talented. We didn't notice it in the past. He is really guilty. He is guilty!"
"Envoy of the Great Chu, can you, the Great Chu, think of this second way to deal with the locusts?"
"It's ridiculous for a mere great Chu to be so short-sighted as to question the capabilities of our Ming Empire."
Except for the officials who had previously said that the locust plague was a disaster from heaven, they did not dare to speak. Everyone else looked surprised.
Some officials even directly mocked the Chu envoys.
The expression of the envoy of Da Chu changed for a time, and he clenched his fists tightly in his hands.
When I came to the Ming Dynasty today, I saw that a great envoy from Chu was humiliated like this.
No, it was not just him who was humiliated, but also the entire Chu Empire behind him.
I was scolded for being short-sighted twice.
But how could the envoy of Da Chu give up here?
I have already suffered the humiliation, and I cannot let it go like this.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty indeed has two brushes, but this is the second method. There are three other methods. If His Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty can really tell them all, the foreign minister will really admire them."
"Otherwise His Highness the Crown Prince just said that he couldn't think of five ways to do it. If he was willing to die, the foreign minister would remember it clearly."
"If His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty or His Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty wants to break his promise, the foreign ministers must publicize it well when they go out."
"You are presumptuous!"
"This is the court of our Ming Dynasty. You, a mere envoy, dare to threaten the king and crown prince of our country. You simply don't know how to live or die."
"Your Majesty, please deal with this ungrateful guy immediately."
The words of the Da Chu envoy made many officials extremely angry.
Although they still don't like the prince Chen Changfeng, this is also their internal matter.
What's the matter with the envoys of Da Chu?
The envoys of Dachu have been making trouble and fanning the flames. How can we bear it?
The second prince Chen Wen stood aside and saw many officials reprimanding the Chu envoy. He immediately came over, cupped hands with the emperor and said: "Father, I think that although the Chu envoy said something unpleasant, he still
It makes some sense."
"Our Ming Empire is one of the three great empires. If the prince breaks his promise and this spreads out, how will other empires view us and what will the people of the world think?"
"It is better to guard against the mouth of the people than to guard against the river."
Chen Changfeng came up with a second method, which made the second prince feel extremely unhappy.
Chen Changfeng appeared in front of the emperor again, wouldn't his position as the prince become more and more stable?
When the time comes, will I, the second prince, still be fighting for the position of prince?
"What the second brother said is absolutely true. Since the sixth brother has already thought of two methods, I must have another idea in mind."
"Why don't you ask your sixth brother to clear up the doubts of the officials again, and let the envoys of Chu know the strength of our Ming Empire." The third prince Chen Wu also said, his eyes fell on Chen Changfeng, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Out of the five methods, it would be incredible for everyone to come up with even one.
Coming up with the second one is already a genius.
Can Chen Changfeng, an ignorant guy like him, come up with the third, fourth, and fifth methods?
Both the second and third princes did not believe it.
Today, we must take this opportunity to deprive Chen Changfeng of his position as prince, even if it does not cost him his life.
The emperor glanced at the second and third princes, his displeasure flashing across his face.
But the two of them didn't notice this.
The emperor was silent. The first method Chen Changfeng could come up with had already impressed his father, who never thought highly of Chen Changfeng.
When Chen Changfeng came up with his second idea, the emperor felt that Chen Changfeng was definitely a man of practical ability.
It will definitely make a difference in the future.
But for the third, fourth, and fifth methods, he really didn't think Chen Changfeng was sure of them.
If Chen Changfeng had such ability, would he still look like that before?
Even I couldn't help but want to depose him as the prince several times.
The emperor was unsure at this moment.
Although the two princes in front of him wanted to compete for Chen Changfeng's crown prince position, what the second prince just said was right.
If the prince breaks his promise, or if he, the emperor, breaks his promise, how will the other six nations view him?
How can the people of the world trust themselves as the emperor?
But can Chen Changfeng really come up with a solution?
The emperor was extremely confused at this moment.
"Why, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, don't you really regret it?" the voice of the envoy of Dachu came.
An angry look appeared on the emperor's face, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
If this man hadn't been an envoy from Chu, the emperor himself would have chopped him into pieces for fifty pieces.
But...
"You said that you, a foreigner, are so concerned about the affairs of our Ming Empire, so why not join our Ming Empire?"
"My prince is still missing someone to carry a chamber pot. Your mouth is so foul, so I think you will be able to do the job."
"You!" Da Chu's envoy looked angry.
Chen Changfeng, who was a dignified Chu envoy, was actually said to be carrying a chamber pot.
When the emperor heard what Chen Changfeng said, the anger on his face dissipated a lot.
Prime Minister Yao Xiaoren also looked at the Chu envoy with a joking look on his face.
"His Royal Highness is very sharp-tongued, but I am afraid that he has no real ability and does not dare to proceed with the solution to the locust plague."
"If this is really the case, please let His Highness the Crown Prince's head fall to the ground." The envoy of Dachu had a gloomy face and glared at Chen Changfeng.
"Whether you are really capable or not has nothing to do with you Da Chu, but if you are really interested, I would be willing to tell you more."
"But there is always a fee for attending classes. If my next three solutions work, you can pay me some tuition fees."
"Not much, shout three times to the east: I, the great Chu, are short-sighted, and my envoy of the great Chu is willing to carry a chamber pot for the Ming prince."
"That's it, how about it?" This chapter has been completed!
