The atmosphere in the court became relaxed, and a smile finally appeared on the emperor's face.
The third way to solve the locust plague was figured out so easily.
The emperor couldn't help but glance at Chen Changfeng a few more times.
I feel more and more that Chen Changfeng has the same charm as when he was young.
If he can be cultivated well, he might become a wise king of the Ming Empire like himself in the future.
But the emperor just came up with this idea and was cut off by himself.
Chen Changfeng's confused behavior over the years did not mean that today's surprise could completely make the emperor forget everything.
Moreover, the two princes in front of him, both civil and military, are both talented, and they are supported by hundreds of civil and military officials behind them.
In his heart, the emperor actually preferred one of them to be the crown prince.
Otherwise, just because the two of them had joined outsiders in targeting the prince, he, the emperor, would not let them go.
As for Chen Changfeng, everyone under his command...
The emperor shook his head. He didn't want to think about these things anymore, but looked at the gloomy envoy of Dachu in front.
Obviously the envoy of Da Chu did not expect that the third solution to the locusts would be these chickens, ducks and geese.
"Envoy of Da Chu, what do you think of this method?" the emperor asked, and all the officials fell silent instantly.
Everyone's eyes fell on the face of the envoy of Da Chu.
The envoy of Dachu still feels severe pain in his calf.
Even though he knew that Chen Changfeng had deliberately hit him with the stick just now, he had no way to argue with Chen Changfeng.
Now Emperor Ming asked himself about his views on the third method.
Even though he was reluctant in his heart, he could only nod and admit it at this moment.
"Raising chickens, ducks and geese to eat locusts is a method that has always been used by our country in Chu. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty stole our method of controlling locust plagues in Chu. It is very powerful." The envoy of Chu would not just let it go.
At this moment, he is also unconscionably saying that the third method is his method of controlling the locust plague in Da Chu, and now Chen Changfeng has secretly learned it.
The emperor smiled, Da Chu was founded three hundred years ago, twenty years earlier than Ming Dynasty. In these three hundred years, there has never been a locust plague.
And every twenty years in the Ming Empire, there would be a locust plague.
It happened continuously last year and this year.
But even the Ming Empire had no solution.
Can Da Chu, who has never had a locust plague, do anything?
This third method was said to belong to the Chu Empire, but the emperor didn't believe it at all.
The second prince and the third prince did not dare to continue to help the Chu envoy to embarrass Chen Changfeng. Chen Changfeng's words just now made them a little frightened.
At this moment, I can only watch everything silently.
"Although His Highness the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty stole the method, I will not pursue this matter. After all, it is all for the sake of the people of the world. I just hope that His Highness the Crown Prince will not make such a mistake again in the future." The envoy of Da Chu said righteously.
"Now please let His Highness the Prince of Ming Dynasty continue to talk about the fourth method." The envoy of Da Chu took a step back.
He wanted to see if Chen Changfeng, who had already come up with three solutions to the locust plague, had any other ideas.
The eyes of the court were once again focused on Chen Changfeng.
Everyone thinks that Chen Changfeng's ability to come up with these three solutions to the locust plague is extremely valuable.
It also made everyone realize that the Crown Prince in front of them was not a useless waste.
But it is probably impossible to come up with the fourth and fifth methods.
This bet will eventually end with His Highness the Crown Prince's failure.
However, no one knows whether the bet will be fulfilled in the end.
Is it possible that His Majesty the Emperor would really let the envoys of Dachu chop off the prince's head?
When the emperor heard that the envoy of Da Chu asked Chen Changfeng to continue with the fourth method, he felt both expectant and worried.
If Chen Changfeng is at his wits end at this moment, what should he, the emperor, do?
"Your Highness, I just brought an extra cage of locusts over here." The imperial army is smart, and the locusts have been prepared in advance.
Chen Changfeng nodded, and then looked at the officials from Taiyuan Hospital.
The official of Taiyuan Hospital felt a little nervous, wondering if Chen Changfeng was now preparing to settle the previous accounts with him?
The prince couldn't think of a fourth way, and was he going to take away himself, a minor official from the Taiyuan Hospital?
No way!
"Your Highness, what I just said is only the truth and has no other meaning. Your Highness, please don't be jealous of villains." The officials of the Tai Hospital were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.
The envoy of Dachu was all smiles.
He also felt that Chen Changfeng was planning to take away the official of the Imperial Hospital who had offended him before he died.
The second prince and the third prince were also a little nervous at this moment.
He secretly wondered if Chen Changfeng was really crazy, would he fight against the two of them? After all, the two of them had caused many obstacles for Chen Changfeng just now.
Chen Changfeng was a little confused, and it took him a moment to react, and scolded: "Who do you think you are, that you can be hated by this prince?"
"Do you have mugwort in your medicine box? Take it out with me."
When they heard that Chen Changfeng just wanted the mugwort in his medicine box, the Tai Hospital official's whole face lit up.
He quickly opened the medicine box, took out a portion of mugwort, and handed it to Chen Changfeng respectfully.
"Go away." Chen Changfeng cursed.
Do you look like a murderous person?
Isn't this old guy ruining his reputation?
The Tai Hospital officials left quickly, then stood aside and looked at Chen Changfeng cautiously.
He didn't know what Chen Changfeng wanted to do with mugwort.
"Your Highness, what do you want this mugwort for?" Prime Minister Yao Xiaoren and Chen Changfeng asked.
He only knew that mugwort was hung on the door during the Dragon Boat Festival, saying it could ward off evil spirits.
But what use does Chen Changfeng have for this thing?
"Mugwort is a perennial herb or slightly semi-shrub. The plant has a strong aroma. The whole plant is used as medicine. It has the effects of warming menstruation, removing dampness, dispersing cold, stopping bleeding, anti-inflammatory, relieving asthma, relieving cough, anti-fetal, anti-allergic and other effects."
"In addition, the whole plant is used as insecticide or fumigation, room disinfection, and insecticide." Chen Changfeng explained to everyone.
But except for the officials of Taiyuan Hospital, not many people seemed to understand.
Everyone looked at Chen Changfeng in confusion.
"His Royal Highness, you are saying that mugwort can repel insects, that is, it can drive away locusts?" An official from the Tai Hospital hid behind and whispered.
He was also afraid of being spotted by Chen Changfeng, so he huddled behind Yao Xiaoren.
"It seems that you old guy is still of some use." Chen Changfeng praised the Tai Hospital officials, and then continued: "It is natural for locusts to be afraid of mugwort. If you sprinkle mugwort ash around the world, the locusts will not dare to approach, let alone
Eat the crops."
"It has such a miraculous effect?"
"real or fake?"
"How come I haven't heard of it before, and the people at Taiyuan Hospital don't know what this thing does?"
The officials were discussing in low voices. At this moment, the officials of Taiyuan Hospital felt that they were dead.
If this mugwort is really useful, and he, as the head of the imperial hospital, has not discovered it, then the emperor will not hack himself to death?
The officials of Tai Hospital looked at Chen Changfeng with resentment.
"No one usually pays attention to this thing. It grows on the edges of fields and on the roads. No one will pick it after the Dragon Boat Festival, so it's normal for the hospital to not be aware of it."
The officials from Tai Hospital were so moved that they almost cried.
I bowed three times to Chen Changfeng from afar.
"Your Highness, you came up with this all by yourself, right? Why haven't I heard of such a method?"
"There is no basis for what you say. If the locusts are not afraid of this thing, His Royal Highness will lose."
"At that time, the foreign ministers will not be polite to His Highness the Crown Prince's head!" The envoy of Dachu had a cold face and stared at Chen Changfeng with his eyes. This chapter has been completed!
