"Burn the fire harder!!"

In the downtown area, a cauldron was propped up in the ground, the flames were raging, and everyone was watching, not knowing what Li Yun wanted to do.

"Pour oil!"

Seeing that the time had come, Li Yun ordered people to pour oil into the cauldron, and the oil cooked at the high temperature of the flame splashed everywhere, and immediately said: "Take the locusts, pour them into the pot, and fry them vigorously for me!" ”

It wasn't until this moment that everyone understood that what King Yun wanted to do was to fry locusts and eat them.

Everyone was stunned at this moment, can the locusts still be fried and eaten? This is a bad thing, everyone hates to avoid it, but Li Yun wants to fry locusts.

The scene was discussed, and Li Yun ignored the voices of the people around him and did his own thing.

After the locusts were poured into the oil pan, they crackled.

"Braised locusts!"

This is definitely a delicacy that cannot be ignored, and the taste in it is by no means describable in words, and in the previous life, this locust feast was Li Yun's favorite.

Ancient locusts were not chemically polluted and were healthier than modern captive farming.

In the blink of an eye, the pot of locusts was cooked, and the whole process, the chatter never stopped, until the pot emitted a fragrant and attractive smell.

In an instant, it aroused everyone's appetite.

It's just that although the smell is good, no one dares to try it.

Just like the first person to eat crabs, if he hadn't tried it bravely, how would the world have known that crabs are so delicious?

No one appreciated his face, Li Yun took the lead as an example, he picked up a locust, opened his mouth to eat, but was stopped by Zhao Wanzhou, if King Yun died in Yingzhou, I am afraid that he will die soon.

"Lord Wang, you can't eat it." Zhao Wanzhou kindly persuaded.

Li Yun knew that if he didn't dare to eat it, let alone others, Li Yun pushed Zhao Wanzhou away, threw the locust into his mouth, and chewed it with relish.

Everyone watched, staring at Li Yun and not daring to blink, watching the locusts swallow into their stomachs, but they could only look away.

"How does it taste?"

"It's a little less salty, but it's still delicious, not bad." Li Yun was very happy.

Li Yun was forced to be helpless, so he said to Zhao Wanzhou: "As the prefect of Yingchuan, eat!" ”

Since no one tried it, they were forced to eat it.

Zhao Wanzhou had a bitter gourd face, feeling that he was going to die, what to eat was not good, he actually ate locusts, he felt disgusting when he thought about it, but Li Yun's order, he didn't dare to disobey, so he had to do it.

Outcome......

When Zhao Wanzhou reluctantly ate it, the whole person's expression changed.

"Huh? How could there be such a delicious thing in the world? ”

After that, Zhao Wanzhou picked up another locust and ate it, and after eating one after another, the mouth couldn't stop at all.

When everyone saw this, they were all speechless in astonishment.

So, the brave people also joined the team, and when they ate the first locust, the chain effect caused by it instantly infected everyone.

They had no food to eat, and after eating the locusts, they were all attracted by this earthly delicacy.

"Wow! It's delicious. ”

Cheng Chu was silent for many days, and now he finally tasted the meat, and it was so wonderful, he ate it happily, and he didn't waste it at all, because there were locusts in the crops, and he couldn't eat them at all.

More and more people are eating, and a large pot of locusts is snatched up in an instant, and many people have no fun eating.

Zhao Wanzhou patted his stomach and said very satisfied: "Lord Wang, you are so amazing, I didn't expect you to really conjure up food, the lower officials admire!" Admire!! ”

Although locusts are not as good as grain, they do not starve the people to death.

"In this way, the people temporarily solve the problem of eating, but this method is not the solution after all, if you want to survive, there must be rain."

Zhao Wanzhou also knew that no matter how good the locusts were, they could not replace real food, and if they wanted to survive, they had to rain from the sky, and the people would farm to become self-reliant.

"How about the altar you built to pray for rain?"

"It has been completed, just waiting for the prince to take the stage to ask for rain." Zhao Wanzhou said.

"Very good, immediately pass on the king's order, this king will go on a hunger strike for seven days, and pray for rain and blessings for the people of Yingzhou." Li Yun commanded.

After Zhao Wanzhou received the order, he immediately issued an announcement to inform the people of the city, so that they all knew that King Yun had asked for rain.

On the day of praying for rain, in front of the altar, countless pairs of eyes stared at Li Yun on the prayer platform, and King Yun went on a hunger strike for seven days, in order to move the heavens to rain down for the people of Yingzhou.

Li Yun went to the altar, he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and entered a meditative state, only hoping that his guess was not wrong, otherwise he would really starve to death on the altar.

Cheng Chumo in the audience has never understood why Li Yun is bothering? And Lin Qingzhu, who had been following Li Yun for a long time, smiled knowingly and blurted out two words: "People's heart." ”

Yes, why did Li Yun meddle in the mess of Yingzhou, he could go straight to Linzi, but he came here by a detour, all of which wanted to win people's hearts.

Along the way, whether it is Puzhou, Zhengzhou, or now Yingzhou, wherever Li Yun goes, he has left a piece of beautiful talk and become the "virtuous king" in the hearts of the people.

As it turned out, Lin Qingzhu's guess was correct.

I only heard the people whispering: "King Yun is really a good prince who worries about the people." ”

"Yes, as a prince, he has no shelf, but he still puts himself in our shoes, and now he is on a hunger strike and praying for rain, he is really the first virtuous king in the world."

Even Zhao Wanzhou was deeply moved, the time he spent with King Yun made him feel very deeply, he thought that he was just watching the flowers, but he didn't expect to share the worries with the people.

"The first virtuous king of the Tang Dynasty is none other than King Yun."

……

And Li Yun is not just pretending, he does have a purpose, and as Lin Qingzhu said, he buys people's hearts and lays the groundwork for him to ascend to the throne in the future.

But he is also sincere to the people, and he will never be mixed with any falsehood.

Day and night alternated, the sun and the moon exchanged, Li Yunpan had been sitting on the altar for three days, and he would not break his promise if he had said that he would go on a hunger strike for seven days.

Every day, there will be ordinary people who can't bear the suffering of King Yun, and send some food to drink, but Li Yun rejected them one by one, and he only said one sentence, which moved hundreds of people: "If you pray for rain, you must be sincere; Even if you starve to death on this altar, you will be asked to rain down on you. ”

As soon as these words came out, countless people were moved.

The promised seven-day time has unconsciously reached the sixth day, and Li Yun's body is about to reach the limit without eating or drinking, but the rain still hasn't fallen.

……

Chang'an, the imperial city.

After Li Shimin learned about the latest situation, he asked, "What is the result?" Did the Cloud King succeed in asking for rain? ”
