If it was just a drought or flood.
These ministers could still find something that Li Shimin had done wrong recently.
However, no one dared to speak up about this locust plague.
Locust and emperor are homonyms.
If they were to talk about this, Li Shi Min would not let them walk out of this hall alive.
"What's wrong? As the leaders of the officials, have none of you investigated this problem? What was the root of the disaster? Had he not thought about this question before?”
Li Shi Min looked at the speechless crowd and became angrier.
Good, very good.
All of them don't know how to think about problems and only know how to find fault with me.
"Your Majesty…"
While Li Shiming was venting his dissatisfaction to the ministers below, the pen-wielding eunuch Li De also walked in from outside Taiji Palace.
At the same time, a group of eunuchs carrying food boxes followed behind him.
"Today, Zhen was enlightened by an expert and comprehended some principles, so I asked you to share them with me.”
Li Shimin looked at the eunuchs carrying food boxes and gave Reed a look.
"Put down your things and leave!”
In the end, a food box was placed in front of each minister.
Apart from Du Ruhui, everyone else was frowning at the box in front of them.
He was frantically guessing what was inside.
Some of the more imaginative ones even began to guess if there was something like poisoned wine inside.
"All of you are the ribs of our Great Tang. Today, I'll treat everyone to a delicious meal! Everyone, please!"
Li Shi Min said nothing more.
Instead, he looked at the people below with anticipation.
After hearing Li Shi Min's words, the crowd stopped guessing.
As Li Shiming's brother-in-law, Zhangsun Wuji was the first to bend his waist and open the food box in front of him.
When he saw what was inside, he frowned deeply.
Following closely behind was Du Ruhui, who already knew what was going on.
Seeing that the two of them had already made their move, the others naturally could not stand idly by.
They opened the food boxes in front of them.
And when they saw what was inside, the people standing at the center of the Great Tang's power all had different expressions.
"How is it? What do you think of the dish that zhen has prepared for everyone?”
When he saw the disgusted expressions of the crowd, Li Shiming was overjoyed, even though his face was expressionless.
I'll let you guys make me issue an edict of sin in the morning!
Why didn't you stand up and speak up for me!
Alright! Now, let's see how I will annoy you.
Today's dish, whoever has the ability to not finish it, I will teach them a lesson!
Li Shi Min muttered in his heart.
A sense of revenge slowly rose in his heart.
However, he didn't let these ministers eat locusts just to disgust them.
The most important thing was to correct their perception!
Lin Feng's words made sense.
Ignorance kills!
If he had known earlier, the locusts were not poisonous and had nothing to do with any ghosts or monsters!
That was to say, it was like an ordinary insect that came out of an egg.
Would the people in the world be afraid of locusts?
When the disaster victims were hungry, they could even eat tree bark.
If he knew that the locusts were not only edible, but also delicious.
Not to mention the locust plague, it would be good enough if it didn't become extinct!
"Your Majesty, this item…These were locusts! There was poison in it, and it was inedible!”
"We know that Your Majesty is worried that the locust plague will bring disaster to the people, but you can't do such a ridiculous thing!”
"Your Majesty, please withdraw your order!"
"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
...
Delicious food? I don't believe you!
Was this something that humans could eat?
Other than Fang Xuanling, Zhangsun Wuji, and a few of his trusted subordinates, there was no one else present.
The other ministers who were called over all had bitter expressions on their faces.
They were almost certain in their hearts.
The plate of locusts in his hand was used by Li Shiming to annoy them.
The purpose was nothing more than to take revenge for forcing him to write the self-reproaching edict in the morning.
If they really ate these worms today, they would be disgusted to death!
Among those present, who wasn't used to eating big fish and meat?
Let alone eating bugs.
It was just that she couldn't eat anything that didn't suit her taste.
If he ate this worm today, he would probably vomit when he saw it in the future.
Kacha...
Kacha...
Kacha...
While everyone was busy trying to persuade Li Shiming not to be so childish and deliberately find trouble to disgust them.
A string of extremely discordant voices echoed in the hall.
Everyone looked over and saw Du Ruhui grabbing a fried locust and putting it into his mouth as if no one else was around.
He even started chewing rhythmically.
When the fried locusts were bitten open, they would emit a rhythmic crisp sound.
When he looked back at Du Ruhui, his expression was normal and he didn't show any signs of discomfort.
It seemed that the locusts that made people feel nauseous were just a home-cooked dish in his eyes.
"Uh..."
"Yes…"
．．．
Finally, someone could not help but start retching.
