Chapter 3 In front of outsiders, how can you break your word and get fat
"What is this for?"
"Why did you suddenly light the brazier again, it's not time to bake the fire, there won't be any problems in His Royal Highness the Prince's brain, right?"
"I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be making fun of all of us today, what's the situation, and you dare to make such nonsense."
"When the brazier was raised, I saw that His Majesty's face was very ugly, and it is estimated that the prince will be deposed by His Majesty later."
The ministers looked at the brazier that had suddenly risen and whispered.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, is this what you call the method?"
"It doesn't seem to work."
"Looks like your prince's head is really about to hit the ground." The Great Chu envoy said with a sneer.
How can the emperor's face look good at this moment.
Chen Changfeng's sudden appearance ignited a glimmer of hope in his heart.
But now, Chen Changfeng raised a brazier in the Taiji Hall.
Just a brazier, also thinking about solving the problem of locust plague?
The emperor felt that he had been deceived, and coupled with the ridicule of the Great Chu envoys, this made his already irritable heart completely unable to calm down at this moment.
"Prince, this is your ......"
"Hey, a lot of locusts are flying over suddenly!"
"Eh, it looks like they're all flying to the brazier!"
"Look, the locusts flew into the brazier and were burned to death!"
The emperor was about to clean up Chen Changfeng, when the officials close to the brazier among the ministers suddenly shouted one after another.
The emperor was stunned, quickly got up from the dragon chair, and walked to the brazier.
As far as the eye could see, a large number of locusts were consumed by the fire, and the brazier was filled with the smell of burnt meat.
The emperor stood by the brazier, his eyes a little stunned.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, Locust...... The locusts seem to have been burned by fire! ”
"What's going on?" The always resourceful Prime Minister Yao Xiaoren is also confused at the moment.
He couldn't understand that a good locust would burrow into the fire on its own.
Where can the emperor think clearly.
But what he did know was that the locusts that had been scurrying around him seemed to be suddenly much less.
Around the brazier, there were locust corpses that fell to the ground.
All burned to death?
The Emperor's eyes were full of shock and disbelief.
The second prince and the third prince all looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief.
They didn't expect that the prince, who had never shown any talent, would really have a way to solve the problem of the locust infestation today.
The second prince had mixed feelings in his heart.
He didn't expect that Chen Changfeng, the waste prince, would really come up with a solution to the locust plague.
It is true that in this way, although the Ming Empire will not have any problems for the time being.
But Chen Changfeng's position as the crown prince will not be easily abolished today.
This is not what the second prince wants.
The Great Chu envoy frowned at this moment.
If the Ming Empire can't solve the locust plague, it will definitely have no national strength to compete with Great Chu.
Moreover, he had already seen that the Ming Emperor had the intention of ceding the land south of the Beiling Mountains to the Great Chu Empire.
Can ...... now
"Good!" The emperor shouted, looking at Chen Changfeng with a deep appreciation and satisfaction in his eyes.
The gate of the Taiji Hall was opened, and the sunlight shone into the hall again.
The whole place was full of locust corpses, and the locust corpses in the brazier were still sizzling.
"There is such a way!"
"It seems that all the locusts in the temple are gone!"
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's trick can really solve the locust plague!"
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also came back to their senses at this moment, and many officials even shouted directly.
No one could have imagined that the natural disaster that almost brought about the destruction of the Ming Empire would be easily solved by Chen Changfeng, who they had never looked down upon.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, this method can live more than tens of millions of people, great goodness, great goodness!" Prime Minister Yao Xiaoren's excited hands and feet trembled slightly.
Seeing that all the locusts in the hall had committed suicide by throwing themselves into the fire, the emperor's hanging heart was finally relaxed.
The emperor himself was secretly surprised in his heart.
The crown prince, who is the least popular with him, has such a talent.
Is it that he has been hiding from himself, or is it really just a blind cat running into a dead mouse?
This kid just said that he has at least five ways to solve the locust plague, is it true or false?
In fact, when Chen Changfeng said that he had a way to solve the locust plague, the emperor also scoffed in his heart.
What ability does Chen Changfeng have that he doesn't know?
The reason why Chen Changfeng gave it a try was actually to hold the idea of a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
In addition, if Chen Changfeng is really talking nonsense to himself, then he, the prince, will not have to do it anymore.
has been tolerant of this prince for such a long time, even if he sees Queen Xu underground in the future, he can tell her that he has done his best.
It's really Chen Changfeng who can't support the wall with his own mud.
It's just that the emperor didn't expect that this kid Chen Changfeng really came up with a way.
Even the emperor remembered Chen Changfeng's words that he had five solutions, but the emperor himself felt that it was unlikely.
"Changfeng, I'm very satisfied." The emperor returned to the dragon chair and sat down slowly, then smiled and nodded at Chen Changfeng.
"It's all taught by my father." Chen Changfeng patted the emperor's ass a little.
Seeing the emperor smiling, Chen Changfeng was also relieved.
For the first time, the emperor should not pursue the matter of oversleeping today.
Next, work hard to stabilize the position of the crown prince, and it should not be a problem to become the emperor of the Ming Empire in the future.
Didn't the news say that Chen Changfeng, the crown prince of the Ming Empire, was a waste who had no ambitions and only knew how to walk dogs and fight cocks?
How could he solve a natural disaster like a locust plague that human beings could not fight at all?
Or did you just use a brazier and solve thousands of locusts?
The Great Chu envoy couldn't understand why this was at all.
His eyes fell on Chen Changfeng's body.
Seeing that he is three points similar to the Ming Emperor, he is handsome, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but he looks cynical.
But this is also commonplace.
The envoys of Great Chu came with the mission of the Great Chu Emperor this time.
Before I came, I knew a little about the situation of the Ming royal family.
The entire Ming royal family, the second prince Chen Wen, has some skills, just now the second prince didn't even dare to open his mouth, obviously there is nothing to do in the face of the locust plague.
The envoys of the Great Chu believed that the Ming Empire would definitely be attacked by locust plagues again.
He was ready to send such good news back to Da Chu as soon as he returned to his residence.
Unexpectedly, Chen Changfeng, the unremarkable prince of Daming, suddenly appeared.
"Great Chu envoy, is it wrong for the prince to say that you are a big Chu rat?"
"It's just a locust plague, and it can be solved with a single hand." Chen Changfeng's gaze fell on the Great Chu envoy, and his face was full of banter.
The Great Chu envoy's face was annoyed, but only for a moment he turned into a sneer: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does have some skills, but my Great Chu is full of talents, and I can solve the locust plague to be captured, of course, the foreign minister does not have this ability." ”
"And if the foreign minister heard correctly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that there are at least five ways to solve the locust plague."
"If it can't be solved, I'm willing to fall to the ground."
"Ordinary people still make a promise, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely not break his word, and His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty will not forget this matter."
"The foreign minister is looking forward to the next four methods of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The voice of the Great Chu envoy fell, and all the civil and military officials fell silent.
Chen Changfeng was able to come up with a solution to the locust plague problem, which already shocked them.
And that's enough.
But the problem is that Chen Changfeng himself said that at least five solutions can be come up.
He also vouched for the emperor with his own head.
The crown prince is the prince, and his words naturally cannot be reversed.
The Great Chu envoy was secretly happy in his heart.
Even if the Ming Empire can survive the locust plague this time, he has to kill the crown prince of the Ming Empire.
If the Ming Empire is not happy, they will be comfortable with the Great Chu Empire.
"Father, the sixth brother promised himself that he could come up with at least five solutions, do you want him to think of another way, otherwise in front of this outsider, my Ming royal family will ......" The second prince looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.
Now that the locust plague has been resolved, the Ming Empire will probably not have any major problems for the time being.
So can he, the second prince, go all out to compete for Chen Changfeng's crown prince?
Although he helps outsiders deal with his younger brother, it doesn't sound good to say.
But wasn't the emperor the throne snatched from his nephew?
What is the power struggle by borrowing the means of outsiders?
"The second brother is right, in front of outsiders, how can you break your word and get fat, let's let the sixth brother give it a try." The third prince also spoke.
The second prince spoke, and the third prince naturally would not miss such an opportunity.
The position of the crown prince is vacant, and he can compete with the second prince for the position of the crown prince.
Otherwise, now that Chen Changfeng is still the prince, the two of them are arguing?
And if Chen Changfeng can't say five ways, even if the emperor won't let his head fall to the ground, Chen Changfeng's position as the crown prince won't be kept.
Who would want their Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be a big talker?
If the emperor is willing, the officials will not agree!
The two princes spoke, and the officials under their respective commands immediately echoed them.
The emperor's gaze swept over the second and third princes, and there was no change in the expression on his face.
The two of them had a clear idea of what they were thinking about in their hearts.
Chen Changfeng has always been a waste, and the emperor has long had the intention of abolishing the prince.
It's just that I didn't expect Chen Changfeng to have such a performance today.
He was really surprised.
Moreover, Chen Changfeng said that he had at least five ways to solve the locust plague.
The emperor was also extremely curious at the moment.
But the emperor didn't know that Chen Changfeng was pretending.
It's just that the emperor felt that he needed to dig deeper.
If his prince really has five solutions, it will naturally be a great joy.
If not, it means that Chen Changfeng is indeed not suitable to be this prince.
His Ming Empire does not need a prince who is inconsistent with his words and deeds.
The emperor thought in his heart, and then his eyes fell on Chen Changfeng: "Changfeng, can you come up with four more methods?" ”
