Chapter 378: Show Your Face
The two of them were very fast, arrived at the palace, hurriedly came to the Taiji Palace, and immediately arranged manpower to arrange the order.
Organize a large number of people to go to the surrounding areas of Chang'an, arrange a large number of locusts, and bring them to the palace.
It's up to you to deal with it yourself.
For one night, I didn't even have time to rest.
I've been arranging people to deal with this matter.
The gates of Chang'an City opened, and from time to time a team rushed in or out from outside.
The team also carried a cage containing a large number of locusts and rushed in the direction of the palace.
Li Er arranged manpower and began to order people to deal with these locusts according to the method he learned in Zhaojiazhuang.
After being busy, I didn't even have time to sleep for a whole night.
It wasn't until the sun rose in the east on the second day that Li Er stretched.
After seeing the results of this whole night, the whole person smiled.
With the arrival of the early dynasty, the next tasks were arranged.
arranged for the eldest grandson Wuji to watch here, and he entered the court and went to prepare.
With the arrival of the early dynasty, the ministers arrived one after another.
It's just that in today's early dynasty, everyone found out, why did they see the radiant appearance of the saint, could it be that there was a happy event?
Before the ministers below could speak, Li Er had already taken the lead in speaking.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I didn't go to the morning court yesterday, that's because I'm thinking about what to do about this matter.
After thinking about it for a day, I felt that I really had to do this. ”
What does this do, what does it do, what does it mean?
Everyone said that they did not understand what His Majesty meant by this.
"Where are the officials of the Ministry of Rites?"
"Your Majesty."
"I order you to arrange immediately, and today I will sacrifice to the heavens."
Yes?
After Li Er finished speaking, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were stunned for a moment.
Going to worship the heavens today?
This speed is too fast, and this time is too rushed, right?
According to the previous process, it took several days to prepare from preparation to the festival.
Today's speed is a bit fast, and everyone is not able to grasp it for a while.
Li Er waved his hand.
"Okay, extraordinary times, special events."
An hour later, hundreds of civil and military officials went to worship together.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
With His Majesty's words, the officials of the Ministry of Rites did not dare to delay and hurried forward to deal with the matter.
Only the other people in the court are unknown, and it is not clear what happened.
"Your Majesty, this time to worship the heavens, is this about the edict of sin?"
"What is the edict of sin?"
Hearing what the children of the clan said, Li Er said that he was very helpless.
As for the edict of sin, I will talk about it tomorrow after today's sacrifice to heaven.
"Your Majesty."
The people said, "I don't believe that after today's sacrifice is completed, this locust will be gone?"
If this locust plague does not leave, it means that Your Majesty's sacrifice to the heavens is not complete and his mind is not successful.
Therefore, you still need to condemn yourself to deal with things well.
It's a hole you dug for yourself, and you don't blame them.
Everyone laughed at the thought of this.
Deler, you are Your Majesty, you have the final say, everyone is not answering, quietly standing aside and unmoved.
As time went by step by step, the Ministry of Rites quickly took care of everything.
Arrange for people to come to the main hall and report the matter to His Majesty.
Li Er waved his hand, took the civil and military officials, and went to the place of sacrifice to start worshipping the sky.
Only this time everyone arrived at the place of sacrifice and was surprised to find it.
How is it that in the place of sacrifice, rows of tables are arranged on the left and right sides.
On the other side, there are people in the imperial dining room who are busy there, setting up iron pots and firewood, what are you doing here?
Seeing this, everyone muttered quietly, but they didn't know what was going on.
I had to follow behind and watch quietly.
The official of the Ministry of Rites came over and muttered a few words to His Majesty, Li Er nodded secretly, walked to the altar step by step, and stood above it and watched quietly.
Although this matter is relatively urgent, but fortunately, the officials of the Ministry of Rites are very mature about everything.
After all that should be said is done, all the things that should be prayed are prayed, and the rest of these things can be arranged by His Majesty.
"Come, spread my will and fire."
"Spread His Majesty's will and fire!"
"Your Majesty."
On the other side, the group in the imperial dining room had already prepared, skillfully added the fire, boiled the oil, and began to stir-fry the locusts.
What the hell is this doing?
Yes, what is Your Majesty trying to do, this is a sacrifice, how can this sacrifice be so-so?
How can you see the arrangement of the Holy One, like stir-frying vegetables in the imperial dining room?
Coming to such a serious place as a sacrifice and arranging for a cook to stir-fry vegetables is simply the greatest disrespect to God.
For a moment, the ministers below chattered and chattered.
See this.
This is a ceremony to worship the heavens, not a vegetable market, so don't keep talking about it on the sidelines.
When the Ministry of Rites official said this, everyone closed their mouths and watched quietly.
And His Majesty, who was standing above, was also standing aside, quietly watching the heavens.
As the time passed by 1 minute and a second, the imperial dining room shouted to open the pot.
Li Er began the next step of the process, lighting the fire sacrifice!
A plate of fried locusts that had been fried was brought up, and Li Er knelt on the ground with the plate.
"Thank God for the blessing, thank God for the blessing, pity my Tang people, for such a delicious world, thank God."
As he spoke, he handed it to the official of the Ministry of Rites on the side, and poured the dish of locusts into the sacrificial utensils.
He kowtowed to the top again, and got up and stood up.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I pray to God today to thank God for taking pity on the people of the Tang Dynasty and sending down such fresh food.
Let my people use it to their heart's content, how can I be unhappy about this?
"What did Your Majesty say?
Why didn't you understand it?
What is food and where is it? What's going on?
For a while, the ministers below whispered again, not understanding what His Majesty meant by what he said.
"Someone is here to prepare a feast."
"Prepare for the feast."
As the sound of preparing for the banquet came, the group in the imperial dining room below began to arrange dishes one by one, and brought the fried locusts in turn.
Looking at the dining table in front of him, a moment has been occupied by grasshoppers of various flavors,
This? This? This?
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is both a prayer and a thank you for your blessings.
Therefore, I arranged a table here and invited my Tang Dynasty ministers to eat delicious food. ”
Saying that, Li Er stepped forward and came to the table with hundreds of civil and military officials.
"What you have in front of you is the delicious locusts that my God gave me to Datang.
This locust is very nutritious, replenishing all kinds of minerals that my body is rich in, as well as other nutrients.
It tastes crispy and delicious, very delicious, please! ”
I'll go.
The faces of all the ministers have changed greatly, eating locusts is simply crazy, can you joke about this matter a little more?
Yes, yes, how can this locust eat this thing?
There is no need for this saint to use this method in order to deceive everyone.
For a moment, everyone looked at Your Majesty quietly, Your Majesty actually made such a method for these things, and this should not be.
What else is rich in all kinds of nutrients, what is this talking about?
You've never heard of it.
Is it because of this locust plague that His Majesty was stimulated, so he said these foolish words?
For a while, everyone began to murmur again.
When he saw the performance of all of them, Li Er's small eyes glanced at all of them with disdain.
One by one, they are really short-sighted, and they don't even know about this kind of thing?
I feel that I should not help them and let the ministers have some knowledge?
Otherwise, is this spreading to tell the world that the cultural cultivation quality of my court's civil and military officials is a bit too low?
Seeing His Majesty's little eyes, everyone felt that they were despised.
However, even if the Holy Lord said this, everyone's faces still became so ugly.
Is this thing really edible?
If you eat it, will you let these insects directly debunk your entire stomach?
The fear of locusts is visceral in all human beings.
This thing looks very ugly, and it is rumored to be a punishment from heaven.
Of course, the big guy didn't say much about it.
And the common people like to talk about these things, and for them, they believe that it is a disaster.
"Your Majesty."
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the food that God has given me to the people of the Tang Dynasty.
I said, this is because God has mercy on my Datang, so he sent me such delicious food from Datang.
It's a pity, we all misunderstood God's mercy for my Datang at the beginning.
Such a delicacy is regarded as a disaster.
It was also my fault to misinterpret God's meaning in this way, but fortunately, I woke up.
can make these delicacies become the rations of my Datang people, so that my Datang people can eat them.
Ladies and gentlemen, please. ”
However, no matter what His Majesty said this and that, the people below still stared at each other.
No one wants to try the first bite, who dares to try it, unless it is dead.
For a while, the whole atmosphere was very embarrassing.
Of course, at this moment, as His Majesty's confidant, he must also stand up directly in this situation.
But why they didn't stand up, it was because they knew that these things that His Majesty did must have been arranged by Zhao Gongzi.
But His Majesty didn't tell any of them in advance, so it can be seen that His Majesty just wanted to show everyone a face.
Instead of letting everyone think that it was their group that was prepared in advance!
"Why, none of the civil and military officials here in my Datang Dynasty dare to taste this delicious gift from God?"
When Li Er said this, his little eyes glanced at everyone again.
In this huge court, there are so many civil and military officials, and no one dares to stand up and try it?
Thinking about this, he sighed helplessly.
In the final analysis, everyone is too cowardly, why did they drop the chain at the critical moment?
But the more this is the case, the more you can show yourself.
Thinking of this, I smiled slightly.
"Well, if you don't understand the benefits of this thing, I can't blame you for this.
So I'm going to take this first bite. ”
Just as Li Er finished saying this, the ministers below began to dissuade him.
"Your Majesty, never, never.
If this thing is eaten in the stomach, this, this? ”
Several ministers stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, since it's the first to taste, let Weichen taste it first."
On the other hand, the children of the clan watched quietly and did not speak, nor did they move.
As if it had nothing to do with them.
Seeing the words and things they said and did in their group, it didn't seem like they had already acted in advance.
For them, the methods used by the court are too insidious and cunning.
Who knows if this time, what kind of conspiracy will it be?
The other ministers hurriedly dissuaded them.
His Majesty, however, waved his hand like a head iron.
I didn't want to listen to anyone's dissuasion, and when I saw that His Majesty had already said it like this, the other ministers wanted to dissuade him, but Li Er waved his hand and refused directly.
If this locust is really a curse sent down by heaven, let him be the first plague of me, and don't harm the people of my Tang Dynasty.
Saying that, Li Er was awe-inspiring, with a desperate look, and swallowed the locust in one bite.
They swallowed the locust in one gulp, chewing it gently.
This tastes delicious, but it's still 10 points delicious.
Why is this not as His Majesty said, why do you see that Your Majesty tastes so delicious?
The food is crunchy, not at all what everyone says it is.
Could it be that they were wrong, this thing is really so delicious?
