Naturally, the envoy of Dachu would not just watch Chen Changfeng come up with the fourth solution.
Moreover, although he was an envoy of Da Chu, he also worked at Da Chu Tai Hospital a few years ago.
I have never heard that mugwort can also control locusts.
Now Chen Changfeng said that mugwort was useful, but the envoy of Da Chu only felt that this guy was lying to him.
Unless he can witness with his own eyes that locusts are afraid of wormwood, otherwise...
All the ministers also expressed doubts.
What I just said is just what Chen Changfeng said. If mugwort really has the effect of controlling locusts, why has no one discovered it for so long?
Although officials from Tai Hospital also said that mugwort has the effect of preventing insects.
But this insect does not necessarily refer to locusts.
"Your Majesty, if this mugwort can control locusts, you should ask His Highness the Crown Prince to prove it. Otherwise, it will be difficult to convince the public."
"Yes, I have never heard that mugwort has such effects before. Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince made it up all by himself?"
"This matter is related to the face of our Ming Empire. It is better to verify it carefully."
The second prince and the third prince did not dare to speak at this time, but the officials under their command understood their thoughts.
Officials kept asking Chen Changfeng to verify the effectiveness of mugwort in repelling locusts in front of them.
The envoy of Da Chu laughed secretly in his heart.
Chen Changfeng wanted to fool himself with some inconspicuous herbs. How could it be so easy?
If the wormwood cannot drive away the locusts later, I will chop off the head of the Ming Prince.
"Brother, please lend me your long sword later and let me test how hard the Ming Prince's neck is." The envoy of Da Chu came to a forbidden soldier and asked him for the long sword in his hand.
The imperial guard's expression changed slightly and he remained silent.
The emperor felt bad in his heart.
He had never heard that mugwort had the effect of repelling locusts.
In this way, isn't Chen Changfeng doomed?
At this moment, the emperor was extremely nervous and worried, and his eyes fell on Chen Changfeng.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Chen Changfeng holding mugwort and walking to the cage full of locusts.
"Everyone has clearly seen that the locusts in this cage are all lying around without any movement." Chen Changfeng spoke, and everyone gathered around.
The emperor didn't know what Chen Changfeng meant, but he followed him and walked to the side.
"So what if there is no movement?" The envoy of Da Chu stood beside the cage with a proud look on his face.
Chen Changfeng ignored him and threw the mugwort powder in his hand into the cage.
But in an instant, the locusts in the cage suddenly became extremely violent and rushed towards the surroundings of the cage crazily.
It seemed like I was trying to escape from this scary place.
The pride on Da Chu's envoy's face instantly solidified.
"Damn it, why are these locusts suddenly scurrying around like they've seen a ghost?"
"They're going to knock this cage over."
"There is not a single locust next to the mugwort. They are all hiding in the four corners."
"Damn it, I knocked it down! I hit it!"
Amid everyone's exclamations, the cage that was originally placed flat on the ground was knocked over by the locusts that suddenly went crazy inside.
The mugwort powder fell out of the cage, and Chen Changfeng lifted the cage aside.
After a while, the locusts in the cage became quiet.
Then he placed the cage on the mugwort powder that fell on the ground, and the locusts in the cage scurried around again as if they had seen a ghost.
Many locusts even hit the cage directly and died.
"How?" Chen Changfeng took the cage away again, and the locusts in the cage became quiet under the gaze of everyone.
Tai Chi Hall became completely quiet.
So everyone looked at Chen Changfeng with disbelief.
The fourth way to solve the locust plague is really useful!
"Your Majesty, I can't even find any words to describe the intelligence of His Highness the Crown Prince."
"The Ming Dynasty is lucky to have His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and it is also our luck." Yao Xiaoren's face was filled with excitement, so much so that his hands were trembling slightly.
His Royal Highness, who has never been looked at seriously by anyone, actually came up with four solutions to the locust plague today.
The locust plague is a disaster sent from heaven.
For three hundred years, no one in the Ming Dynasty came up with a solution.
But today, the most inconspicuous Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty actually came up with four solutions in a row.
Yao Xiaoren has never been so excited as he is today.
If His Highness the Crown Prince can continue to be so outstanding, the Ming Empire may have a chance to take back the thirteen cities of Nanjun that were taken away by the Chu Empire.
The emperor had a bright smile on his face and his eyes fell on Chen Changfeng in front of him.
I wonder if this is still the good-for-nothing prince that I have wanted to depose several times?
He has such ability, why didn't he tell himself earlier?
Are you afraid of his two brothers?
The emperor's eyes fell on the second and third princes again.
The second prince and the third prince both felt their hearts pounding.
They all secretly thought, they didn't say anything this time, why did their father still look at them like this?
"Father, my sixth brother is as wise as he is foolish, and I admire him." The second prince hurriedly said a kind word, for fear that the emperor would cause trouble for him.
The third prince did not speak, but looked at Chen Changfeng silently.
If the mentality continues like this, when will Chen Changfeng's position as prince be abolished?
"Haha, I am very satisfied with Changfeng's performance today." The emperor said with a smile, and looked at Chen Changfeng with admiration.
"Yes, yes, His Royal Highness is truly outstanding."
"The Ming Dynasty has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which is the blessing of the Ming Dynasty."
"Envoy of Da Chu, you should be so scared that you pee your pants now, but don't pee now. Wait until you call Da Chu short-sighted before peeing. This will be more advantageous."
"Ha ha!"
Although the officials of the Ming Dynasty did not like Chen Changfeng, they were even more disgusted with the arrogant Chu envoys.
Now the fourth method to solve the locust plague has proven effective.
There is only one last option left.
If the last method works, then the envoy of Da Chu will publicly shout out that Da Chu is short-sighted and that the envoy of Da Chu is willing to carry a chamber pot to His Highness the Prince of Ming Dynasty.
The envoy of Da Chu looked livid at this moment and squeezed his hands together tightly.
Chen Changfeng was able to come up with a solution, but the envoy of Dachu felt that Chen Changfeng was out of luck.
After coming up with the second method, the envoy of Da Chu thought that he was not as useless as the rumors said.
After coming up with the third method, the envoy of Dachu was actually a little worried.
Now that the fourth method was proven to be feasible by Chen Changfeng, his envoys from Chu were already frightened.
The envoy of Da Chu now seriously doubts that Chen Changfeng will really come up with the fifth way to solve the locust plague.
At that time, as the envoy of Da Chu, if I really want to say that Da Chu is short-sighted, I will carry a chamber pot for Chen Changfeng?
The envoy of Da Chu could not accept such a result.
"Father, why don't we come here today, my son..."
"Huh?" Chen Changfeng suddenly spoke, causing the Chu envoy to suddenly wake up from his worries.
What did Chen Changfeng just say? That’s it for today?
This kid has no choice but to run away?
"No, since we just made a bet, His Royal Highness leaves now because he clearly wants to break the contract."
"If there is no fifth solution, please keep your head, His Royal Highness." The envoy of Da Chu said immediately.
The worries in his heart were instantly forgotten by him.
How can the locust plague be so easy to solve?
The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty decreed that anyone who could solve the locust plague would be rewarded with tens of thousands of gold, promoted to three levels in a row, and granted the title of Duke.
But no one came up with a solution.
This shows how difficult this thing is.
Chen Changfeng has some abilities, but being able to come up with four methods is definitely his limit.
The fifth method is absolutely impossible!
"But……"
"Sixth brother, since you agreed to the bet, you must abide by it. You are the prince, how can you go back on your word?" The second prince interrupted Chen Changfeng.
Seeing Chen Changfeng showing timidity at this moment, the second prince couldn't care less about his previous worries.
"Yes, Sixth Brother, now there is only one last way to make Da Chu lose face. You must not give up, otherwise your head..." This chapter has been completed!
