Chapter 62: Solving the Locust Plague

"Eat! Locust! Insect! Xu Ziling said word by word, sonorously and powerfully.

After Xu Ziling said these three words, the hearts of those ministers who were looking forward to it turned upside down, and they frowned one by one, looking at Xu Ziling as if they were looking at a monster, and then their faces turned into anger, angry and eager to kill Xu Ziling on the spot.

Pei Lin resisted the urge to run wild, eased his expression, and said, "How can you eat such a monster, aren't you harming the people?" Even if such monsters can be eaten, how can you let the people eat them? ”

"Yes, does Aiqing have a solution?" Li Shimin obviously also saw the two questions Pei Lin said, and the expression of antiquation and excitement disappeared at this moment.

"If you haven't tried something, how do you know that you can't eat it, potatoes are an example, besides, this locust can contain super high protein, which is very good for the human body, especially when these locusts are fried in an oil pan and eaten, the surface is wrapped in a layer of skin, and some garlic mustard is put on it, which is crisp and ......delicious."

Xu Ziling smiled and looked at Yu Chi Jingde and Cheng Biting Jin, who were about to drool, these two guys were born foodies!

"As for this second question, it's even simpler, as long as Your Majesty takes the lead in eating, why should the people not eat?" Xu Ziling continued.

If you listen to the first suggestion, you can still accept it, but after Xu Ziling just said the second one, that group of imperial historians couldn't help it anymore, "shameless traitors, disaster to the country and the people, corrupting the dynasty, robbing the people's daughters......"

Nima, why do these old guys always have to bring the words "robbing people's girls" when they scold themselves?

"This, this ......" Xu Ziling pulled the most fierce one to scold.

"Hmph, what's the matter!"

"Do you have a daughter?"

"Why?"

"Tomorrow, I'll let the internal guard go to your house and snatch your daughter, otherwise I'm sorry for your infamy!" Xu Ziling Road.

"You...... Ahh "That Yushi has a red face and red ears, and he looks like he is about to fight with Xu Ziling.

"That's it! Above the court, what kind of system! Li Shimin said angrily.

Xu Ziling is very strange, how can this Li Shimin switch back and forth between laughter and anger, just now he looked like he was about to hold back his internal injuries when he was laughing, but now he can become so angry, admire!

"Is this locust really what you say, can it be eaten?" Li Shimin said, I have to say, if it is really as this kid said, then the locusts are not a disaster at all.

"Your Majesty, can you wait a moment, and then I will go and make some samples for you and the ministers?" Xu Ziling Road.

"Good!"

"This ...... Your Majesty thinks twice. ”

After the minister just persuaded him, Xu Ziling ran away, and he couldn't talk nonsense with this group of guys, otherwise this matter might not be conclusive until tomorrow.

Xu Ziling, under the leadership of the eunuch, made a fuss in the room after a while, very good, there is an iron pot in the room of the East Palace, it seems that Li Shimin has not eaten less stir-fried vegetables, but he is still pretending to be thrifty outside.

A few moments, Xu Ziling came to the main hall of the East Palace with a plate of fried locusts, and the strings of grasshoppers wrapped in dough, glowing with yellow light and dripping with oil beads, looked so delicious at the moment, and there was also garlic sauce on the side, which made people can't help but want to eat a bite.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to eat it first!" Cheng Biting Jin swallowed his saliva.

Of course, after this kind of food comes up, there will definitely be people who try it to prevent someone from poisoning the food, usually this kind of work is done by eunuchs, but at this moment it was preempted by Cheng Yanjin.

"Well, Your Majesty, the minister is also willing to try it!" Wei Chi Jingde saw that Cheng Biting Jin was eating so deliciously, so he hurriedly went up and grabbed one, grabbed a mouthful of sauce indiscriminately, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Seeing that these two people were eating more and more, Xu Ziling still couldn't help but turn dark, and hurriedly restrained the two pig heads.

"Hehe, it's out of shape, it's out of shape...... the two laughed awkwardly.

Is this really that good? The ministers in the hall were puzzled.

There were not many grasshoppers on the plate, Li Shimin took one, dipped it in minced garlic, and ate it in a big gulp......

"Well, I decided, just follow Xu Aiqing's method, don't refute it, haha!"

Looking at the locusts that were swept away by Li Shimin on the plate, the ministers couldn't say anything at the moment, and even some ministers regretted that they didn't take a bite!

Two years, June. Li Shimin personally appeared in front of the people of Guanzhong, and there were words in his mouth, what kind of monsters erode my dealer, I want to eat it and so on, there are not many words, anyway, it is a show, but these people are grateful to Dade, the king of a country can eat locusts, what else should you do as a common person? So for a time, locusts arose in Guanzhong, and the locusts that originally covered the sky and the sun became the things on the plate of the people in Guanzhong one by one.

This Li Shimin is really not a good stubble, it was originally an activity calling for eating locusts, and he was made into his own political show by this guy, a master!

These days, day and night with Li Shimin around the show, Xu Ziling is also tired enough, back to the internal guard, he is holding the official documents sent by the internal guards from all over the country, most of the news is that the people from all over the country express their lofty love for Li Shimin, Xu Ziling fell asleep after watching it for a while.

After sleeping for a long time, when Xu Ziling woke up, it was already the time to hold the lamp, and I saw a person sitting in front of the table next to him, holding his chin with both hands, and looking at Xu Ziling with big eyes.

Xu Ziling smiled and said to Su Mei, "How long have you been here?" ”

"I'll be here when you just went to bed!" After Su Mei finished speaking, she handed Xu Ziling a glass of water with ice cubes.

After Xu Ziling took the water cup, he drank it in a big gulp, in this midsummer season, he could drink such a sip of ice water, he really wanted to say, his heart was cold!

"Look at this official document!" Su Mei took out a thin piece of kraft paper from the table and handed it to Xu Ziling, "You fell asleep, so I looked at it when I was fine." Su Mei explained.

"Yes!" Xu Ziling opened the kraft paper, and the news on it made Xu Ziling's eyes light up, Jieli Khan's younger brother Tuli Khan took refuge in the Tang Dynasty?

"Great!" Xu Ziling's work today focuses on Guanzhong, but he pays little attention to the Turks outside Guanzhong.

"Do you know why I went to Xue Yantuo and other places a few days ago?" Su Mei asked suddenly.

This Xu Ziling knew that Su Mei did leave the internal guard for a while, and when he came back, he also asked Su Mei where he went.

"Why?"

"On the orders of His Majesty, give the tribes of Xue Yantuo money, cattle and horses and other material support......" Su Mei said shrewdly.
