Yang Yiqing is already a headache enough, six years of Zhengde is really not a good year, first Chen Yu was dismissed, then there was a flood, and finally the rain passed and the sky was clear, and plagues and locust plagues followed.

Yang Jiefu's prevarication made him full of anger and had nowhere to vent, no matter how many days Zhu Houzhao had to solve the locust plague, as a courtier, he should not regard it as a task to complete and prevaricate, now those ordinary people are really suffering from the ravages of the locust plague, I don't know if after this time, there will be more starvation in various parts of the empire, and how many displaced people will join the rebellion queue.

But for hundreds of years, no one has been able to solve this plague of locusts, so what can he do? It is well known that the household bank is not enough, otherwise it would not have used the Kaizhong method to sell salt to maintain financial revenue and supply the nine sides.

Yang Yiqing sat on the side of the desk in a daze, until Menzi's immature voice interrupted him.

"Master, there is a letter from Master Chen."

"Master Chen? Chen Yu? Hurry up and show it to me. Yang Yiqing hurriedly opened the letter, if Chen Yu was there, he would definitely find a way to get through this difficulty, instead of being a vegetarian like Yang Jiefu.

But after reading the letter, his face became more and more pale, not because of how his daughter suffered, but because he didn't expect that at this time, he Chen Tingyu didn't care about national affairs, but cared about these big things.

But after thinking about it, there was also a trace of warmth in his heart, after all, Chen Yu was still concerned about his family affairs, how could he blame him and chill his heart?

Picking up the pen and ink, I was about to write a few words of relief to go back, but not long after, Menzi came again.

"Master, Miss has a letter."

Yang Yiqing opened the letter impatiently, with a hint of surprise in his heart, could it be that something really happened to his daughter? As Chen Yu said, she was bullied in the Xu family? If that's the case, he won't let Xu Yangong go no matter what, even if you are a descendant of the Duke of Guo!

The letter hadn't been opened for long, and Menzi took another letter from Xu Yangong.

This time, Yang Yiqing finally began to face it squarely, he carefully read the three letters, and then leaned back weakly towards the Taishi chair.

His eyes were closed, he didn't know what he was thinking, and his old face was unfazed, and he couldn't see any expression.

After a long time, he opened his eyes suddenly, spread out the rice paper, and after the leopard head town covered the paper, he began to write hard.

After he wrote it, he asked Menzi to send this letter to Nanzhili to inspect the imperial history, and then wrote another one, and then asked Menzi to send it to Chen Yu.

No matter what the three of them said in the letter, Yang Yiqing didn't believe it one-sidedly, first he asked the inspector to investigate the land annexation in Xu Guogong's house, and then wrote back to Chen Yu.

Yang Yiqing used an urgent letter to Chen Yu and sent it overnight, and Chen Yu received it the next day.

Chen Yu and the three of them also opened the letter with great anticipation, but after opening the letter, they found that it was not Yang Ruoxi.

"Three days? How is this possible? Fang Xiaomei shook her head after reading the letter, "It seems that the emperor is really angry this time and wants to put pressure on the ministers."

The foundation left by the ancestors, to the sixth year of Zhengde, all kinds of natural disasters came together, natural disasters caused man-made disasters, Jiangxi, North Zhili, Liangguang, Guizhou rebellions and rebellions one after another, even if the emperor is greedy for fun, now I am afraid that he can't sit still. ”

Chen Yu put down the letter, rubbed his forehead, and muttered, "Three days to solve the locust plague?" Ay...... How could it be! ”

Shen Fei saw that the two of them began to discuss state affairs again, and he also knew the harm of this locust plague, how could it be possible to solve the problem that had not been solved for hundreds of years? He comforted: "My lord, don't think about these things first, it will only increase your troubles, anyway, you are no longer an official of the imperial court, let them want to go to these things, let's not eat first." ”

Chen Yu waved his hand and said, "Eat, I'm not hungry...... Wait a minute? ”

Fang Xiaomei saw that his eyes were shining, and she must have thought of some measures, so she asked softly, "What?" Got a solution? ”

"Yes! If you want to solve the locust plague, it is not difficult, but you need the emperor to take the lead. He spread out the rice paper, and Fang Xiaomei began to grind it for him on the side.

Shen Fei is a person with vision, when he sees this picture, he is not without envy in his heart, Yi is beside him, and his red sleeves are fragrant, which is what every man yearns for.

Shen Fei consciously went out of the room and covered the door.

Chen Yu began to write in the handsome Zhao style, but Fang Xiaomei didn't understand what was written, and it was even very strange, and after a long time, she asked uncertainly: "What is this written...... Recipe? ”

Chen Yu said with a smile: "The lady is really as wise as a torch. ”

Fang Xiaomei suddenly remembered something, with incredible surprise on her face, this was too crazy, she said, "You don't want the people to eat the locusts, right?" ”

This damn girl, can you not be so smart? Before she could think of the wording below, she knew what she wanted to do.

"Really? It's crazy, is that thing edible? ”

"Not only can you eat it, but it's also rich in protein! According to this cooking method, it is simply not too tasty. ”

"What do you mean by protein?"

"That's not the point."

"But no one has ever eaten this thing, how can the emperor eat it?" Fang Xiaomei said, "If it can really be implemented, then I'm afraid there will be no locust plague from now on." ”

Chen Yu slowly dried the ink, then slowly folded the paper and put it into the envelope, and then said: "Whether the emperor will eat it or not depends on what Lord Yang does, I hope he won't let me down!" ”

I really didn't know it, I would solve the problem of the locust plague because of Shen Fei's words, and it seemed that God blessed it.

But then again, this is just my own assumption, and whether it can be implemented or not depends on Beizhili's side.

…………

The deadline given by Zhu Houzhao has arrived, and the faces of all the old ministers in the court are not very good, and when the court discusses the locust plague, they all immediately lowered their heads, afraid that Zhu Houzhao would point to him.

The cabinet spoke first, counted the accurate data of the affected state capitals, and reported it to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao didn't want to hear this at all, so he waved his hand and said, "The matter of the locust plague, can the cabinet have a result?" ”

"Back to the emperor, this matter was proposed by Lord Hong, the emperor of the left capital, presumably there must have been a complete plan, and please ask Lord Hong to play it."

Hong Zhong's eyes were closed, and when Yang Tinghe finished speaking, he raised his eyelids, he slowly walked out of the train, and said: "Back to the emperor, since the founding of Taizu, all kinds of problems have come one after another, but God bless the Ming, we will forge ahead and move forward, now the flood and locust plague are rampant, and the old minister can't sleep overnight. ”

The eunuch on duty brought up Hong Zhong's recital, Zhu Houzhao only glanced at it a few times, and then threw it out, "What I want is a solution, not this tirade!" If writing a few articles can solve the problem, then what do I want you to do? Why don't you invite a few people to come over and rank in Jiuqing? ”

Zhu Houzhao was really angry this time, there were so many people in the empire that no one could give a solution!

He looked around at the Wenchen in the main hall, the disgust in his eyes was unobstructed, and he exhorted them all day long to tell them what they could, let them engage in struggle, and everyone was a master, and if they really wanted to solve the problem, what else could they do except prevaricate! This is my talent who is a great scholar! This is the pillar of the country!

"Retreat!" Zhu Houzhao said weakly, this time he didn't go first, just sat on the dragon chair in a daze, on the other hand, those humerus ministers couldn't wait to step out of the Donghua Hall at this moment.

"Your Majesty, Your Minister...... There is a solution! Yang Yiqing finally spoke, and now is the only time.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up suddenly, and he glanced at Yang Yiqing, who was speaking, and said, "Aiqing, what is the solution, hurry up!" ”

He took out the lunch box that he had brought with him not far away, and slowly took out a plate...... Cuisine?

The dish is coated in a layer of golden flour, fried and then served on a disk.

In fact, the reason why Chen Yu wrote out the method of frying locusts in detail was to make Zhu Houzhao less repulsive, so that he could swallow it. As long as the emperor eats it, this matter can be promoted to the people through the public opinion guidance of the imperial court.

"This ...... What is it? Zhu Houzhao asked curiously.

"Fried locusts!" Yang Yiqing said, "This thing is sweet and delicious, and the old minister drank it last night." ”

"Yang Yiqing, you are bold!" Yang Tinghe suddenly turned back when he just stepped out of the main hall, "How dare you give the emperor such a thing?" ”

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Yang Tinghe lightly and said, "Scholar Yang, I didn't listen to you say a word, but at this moment, I am loyal to the monarch and patriotic?" At the very least, Lord Yang is still solving the problem for me! ”

He turned to Yang Yiqing and said, "This thing can really be eaten?" ”

"Your Majesty, this thing is mixed with vinegar sauce and chili peppers, which is spicy and delicious, and tastes excellent!"

"If the emperor has an accident with the dragon's body, who will be responsible? Can you, Yang Yiqing, afford this responsibility? Yang Ting and his beard were about to straighten up.

"Bring it to me!"

"Your Majesty!" Tai Hospital also jumped out, "It's not too late for the old man to verify whether it is harmful to the body." ”

Zhu Houzhao ignored those ministers, according to what Yang Yiqing said, he soaked some vinegar and chili peppers, and ate them.

"Well, it tastes so good!"

Zhu Houzhao really thought it was delicious, and he ate half of it, his eyes were extremely satisfied, "This is ...... You came up with it? ”

"The old minister is ashamed, it's Chen Yu!"

"It's that rebel again! Dare to murder the emperor! The minister begged the emperor to arrest Chen Yu in brocade clothes, and convicted Chen Yu of murdering the son of heaven! Yang Tinghe shouted.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are still half of them, and you will all give me one to eat today!" Zhu Houzhao smiled coldly: "Isn't it loyal to the monarch who loves the country and the people like a son?" It's your chance to perform! After eating, this method is extended to the whole country, and the locust plague will no longer be harmless! ”
