The palace gate today was different from the past.
In the past, although there were whispers and discussions in front of the palace gate, it was not as noisy as today.
Moreover, the officials had to get up early every day to wait in front of the palace gates for the morning court assembly. They were unusually tired.
Therefore, while waiting, there were many officials who were standing with their eyes closed and sleeping.
However, today, no one slept. Instead, they were discussing the notice.
"Locusts are ugly and hideous. How can they be eaten?”
"Could it be that Your Majesty wants to fool the people and survive this locust plague?”
"Shh, be careful with your words…"
"His Majesty's proclamation is not true…"
"When have we ever eaten locusts? Why would you say that it's delicious?"
This was also the most speechless thing for the officials.
The notice clearly stated that they had also eaten the locusts, and they were full of praise for them, saying that they were delicious.
But the problem was…
Did I eat it?
When did I eat it?
And I said it was delicious?
...
How could this be…
Many officials were furious because this announcement was of great importance.
However, His Majesty actually posted it out like this and fooled the people like this…
This was…
What should he do if he caused any trouble?
Therefore, it was very chaotic in front of the palace gate.
Someone found Wei Zheng and said," Lord Wei, this matter concerns the Tang Empire. We cannot underestimate it. In a moment, please report to the court and ask His Majesty to withdraw the proclamation. We are willing to go with you."”
"Yes, as the head of the Imperial Censorate, you should speak frankly.”
"This matter is of great importance…"
"We have never eaten locusts before. How can it be delicious…"
The group of people started to chatter in front of Wei Zheng.
However, Wei Zheng only raised his eyes slightly and said,"If you want to submit a memorial, then submit it. This old man won't participate.”
Everyone was stunned and looked at Wei Zheng in disbelief.
"Sir, you are a loyal and outspoken official. How can you ignore this matter?”
"Yes, sir…"
Wei Zheng still shook his head and said," Because I ate locusts. They were really delicious. Why should I advise you?"”
"What?"
"Lord Wei has eaten locusts?"
"When did you eat it? After you ate it, your body is still fine?”
Wei Zheng chuckled and said," In the third year of Zhenguan, it was fine for His Majesty to swallow locusts. I ate cooked ones. How could there be anything wrong?" Why? Do you wish for something to happen to me?"
"I don't dare, I don't dare…"
"But…How can we eat locusts?"
"That's right…"
Wei Zheng laughed and said,"Why can't I eat it?" Didn't you guys have a good time eating last night?”
"Us?"
"Last night?"
"When did we eat locusts last night?”
Everyone was dumbfounded, while the few important officials who knew about it in advance stood at the side as if they were watching a show with a smile on their lips.
"Could it be…"
At this moment, a cry of surprise sounded.
"Is it the Flying Yellow Meatball from last night?"
"The Flying Yellow Meatball has a special taste and has a meaty fragrance. However, the warehouse manager did not say what meat it was made of. Could it be that it was made by locusts?”
"What?"
"Last night's Flying Yellow Meatballs were made by locusts?”
Exclamations rang out one after another, and everyone's gazes turned to Wei Zheng in unison.
That gaze seemed to be saying,'Tell me, this isn't real, this isn't real…'
However, Wei Zheng smiled and nodded. He said,"You guessed it right. It was done by the locusts. It was just a little troublesome. The warehouse manager said that after the things were clear, they could be directly fried. Last night's was a little complicated. Therefore, His Majesty was not ignorant because what was written on the notice was true.”
"This…"
"How is this possible…"
"It's actually locusts…"
"Flying yellow, flying locusts!"
A sudden clap of thunder exploded in everyone's minds.
Their expressions instantly turned dull, their faces alternating between green and white. It was very interesting.
"I actually ate locusts…"
"You're still enjoying it…"
"Wow…"
"Ugh…"
It was unknown who was the first one who could not hold it in anymore. He held onto the corner of the wall and started vomiting with a miserable expression.
With this lead, good heavens…
It was as if a slight change in one hair would affect the whole body. One could see figures quickly running to the corner of the wall, holding onto the corner of the wall and vomiting loudly.
One, three, five, a dozen…
In the end, there were not many people standing in front of the palace gate.
For a moment, the officials in front of the palace gate vomited, and the smell was overwhelming. Those important officials who knew in advance that they would not be mentally affected could not help but cover their noses and fan the air around them, almost vomiting.
It was because the scene in front of the palace gate was too tragic.
The puddles looked disgusting.
Therefore, the more they vomited, the more disgusted they became. They vomited until their limbs went weak and they had nothing to vomit. However, they still could not calm down the strong urge to vomit.
"Qin Yu…"
"This is definitely his idea…"
"You've caused me quite a lot of trouble…"
In front of the palace gate, there was a wave of wailing…
Qin Yu, who was still sleeping, turned over comfortably. He did not know that he was now hated by almost all the civil and military officials in the court…
