Liu Shuwen had a big belly and couldn't take a carriage, so Leng Feng could only arrange a sedan chair for her. Speaking of which, Leng Feng felt that his script was ridiculous, and it would be a waste not to read it tomorrow.

I said earlier that "the edict of guilt is self-inflicted", and I will not repeat it at this time, for such a big event as the locust plague, Li Shimin must issue an edict of guilt.

An altar has been built in front of the Suzaku Gate, the one on the left is Li Shimin's sacrifice to the sky and the edict of his guilt, and the one on the right is the queen's sacrifice to the divine beast Phoenix.

The emperor sacrificed the edict of the world, it is nothing, it is a reasonable thing, but why does the queen sacrifice the divine beast phoenix at this time? Chang'an people can't help but be curious, one to one, one to ten, ten to hundred, to the official sacrifice day, Zhuque Street is jammed with people who come to see the excitement, that is, Leng Feng's sedan chair wants to get in, and Li Erniu also needs them to open the way.

Yesterday, the green of Chang'an has been wiped out by locusts, but at this time there are still a lot of locusts flying around in the city, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will hit people's faces, and it hurts and makes people annoying!

Li Shimin and the queen waited on the altar early, because it was a catastrophe, the two of them did not return to their usual attire, they were wearing coarse linen clothes, Li Shimin was wearing straw sandals, and his hair was scattered.

When the first rays of sunlight shone on the altar in the morning, the ceremonial officer Li Gang shouted: "The auspicious time has come!" Your Majesty incense! Bow down to your ministers! ”

The ministers at the bottom of the altar all knelt on the ground, Li Shimin took the good thick incense pillar, inserted it into the ding, and unfolded the holy decree and recited: "In the second year of Zhenguan, drought and locusts are coming, and all the people mourn, so they are guilty of the edict, saying: If the year is abundant, the world will be peaceful, and the disaster will be moved, so as to save all the nations, it is a wish, and I am willing to do it." ”

(I don't know the real rules of worshipping the sky, accuse and accuse~)

After he finished speaking, Li Chengqian came over with a plate in his hand, knelt down and offered it to Li Shimin, Li Shimin uncovered the cloth on the plate, grabbed the contents and held it high.

The altar is not high, and the eyes are good and immediately see clearly what it is~

Locust!

Li Shimin had tears in the corners of his eyes, and shouted hoarsely: "Today, the locust plague is rising, all the people mourn, the ancient books have clouds, and the locusts have spirits, today, I tell you here, if I lose my morality, I will let these locusts come to devour my heart and liver!" Don't eat the food of my people! ”

As he spoke, Li Shimin had already burst into tears, and under the stunned gaze of the people, Li Shimin swallowed the locust he was holding in his hand!

Swallowed!

The locusts were swallowed by him!

"Your Majesty!"

I don't know who shouted first, and then the people and forbidden troops on the entire Suzaku Street fell to their knees and cried bitterly!

With such an emperor, as poor people, what else could they ask for!

Liu Shuwen covered her mouth and poked Leng Feng: "Husband, Your Majesty......... How can you really swallow locusts! ”

Leng Feng put down the binoculars and snorted twice: "That day, Emperor Li Xiaogong had dinner at our house, they discussed eating frogs or something, and they also vomited Lao Fang and Lao Wei, I thought he would really swallow locusts alive, but as a result, he was still cowardly!" ”

Originally, Li Shimin in history may have really eaten the locusts raw, but now, others can't see clearly, but Leng Feng can see it clearly with a telescope, the locusts eaten by this thing are motionless, and the color is not quite right, but I don't know if the imperial kitchen didn't sprinkle cumin on His Majesty when baking locusts.

Ignoring Liu Shuwen's inquiring look, Leng Feng looked at the queen, and the next thing was the finale! Highlight!

In the sound of crying all over the street, Li Gang shouted at the top of his voice: "The queen will sacrifice the phoenix, be quiet!" ”

At this time, it is useless for Li Gang to shout alone, and he needs the forbidden army to shout together.

Li Shimin's behavior of swallowing locusts really touched the people, even the crying stopped, and from time to time someone heard an imprinted choking sound.

After the crying disappeared, the queen put three sticks of incense on a huge phoenix statue on the altar, unfolded the edict embroidered with the phoenix and said: "The locust plague started, and the folk rumors said that this was the will of heaven, and the palace did not think so.

The queen, the mother of the world, every palace, will be called the phoenix, today the sacrifice of the auspicious dragon and phoenix of the phoenix, may the beast listen to the palace prayers, send signs to show the will of heaven! ”

After speaking, the queen put Yizhi on the offering table, and retreated far away with the support of the palace maid.

The queen's decree made the people confused, it turned out that the queen sacrificed the mythical beast phoenix to find the phoenix to ask God, whether the locust plague was providential.

However, how can the phoenix ask God? What does God say?

Lifting the curtain of the sedan chair, Leng Feng walked out with Liu Shuwen in his arms, and the big drama is about to begin!

Laugh at!

A voice suddenly sounded on the statue of the phoenix, and immediately after, the people fell to their knees in unison!

Because there was a thick smoke coming out of the statue, and there was a fire!

This.........

This is a miracle!

Before the people could kowtow, a phoenix's chirping suddenly came from the thick fog, and a burst of fire rose into the sky, and it could only be vaguely seen that it was a bird-shaped ball of fire.

This.........

What else could this be but a miracle?

The people all kowtowed to the statue of the phoenix, and did not notice Zhang Zhongqing and Yan Liben who came out under the cover of smoke under the altar.

"Phew! Damn, you smell so bad with this smoke! ”

Zhang Zhongqing pushed Yan Liben: "Don't grind, hide it quickly, the fierce fire oil you made is not dripping, and the smell is disgusting when you burn it!" ”

Seeing the two of them hiding, Leng Feng smiled slightly, at this moment, those people should see the signal, and then it's fun!

"Goo~"

"Dry ~ Dry ~"

"Yaaa~"

The people were still worshipping the phoenix statue, and suddenly heard the cries of chickens, ducks and geese, and when they looked around, they couldn't help but be shocked!

Chicken!

Duck!

Goose!

Countless chickens, ducks, geese flutter their wings and catch locusts everywhere!

It was a spectacular scene!

But!

Where are there so many chickens, ducks and geese!

Li Shimin had already prepared his lines, the queen had already evacuated at this time, and exercising outside for a long time was not good for her who was pregnant, so the next job was for him, the emperor.

Li Shimin father and son didn't know when they got on the phoenix altar, and the father and son bent down in front of the phoenix statue and shouted: "The mythical beast phoenix is the chief of birds, I thank the phoenix for sending these birds to fight the locust plague!" ”

As long as there is this sentence, there is the foreshadowing before the queen, and fools can understand that the locust plague is not the meaning of God.

Liu Shuwen saw that Leng Feng was about to laugh out loud, and couldn't help but twist him, and whispered, "This is the big drama you are talking about?" I said why did Lao Li secretly bring these chickens and ducks into Chang'an, you don't want to think about it, your play is too pretentious. ”

The people were all stunned to watch the chickens and ducks eating locusts, and Leng Feng looked at them and said, "You don't need others to believe it, as long as the people believe it." ”
