Looking at the locust in his hand, everyone looked at it as if they were looking at a ferocious beast.
If it wasn't for Li Shimin's personal gift.
At this moment, Li Shiming was still squinting his eyes as he watched from above.
They would definitely throw the locusts in their hands along with the plate.
"Why aren't you eating? Are you looking down on me?"
Li Shi Min saw that the crowd was still unwilling to make a move, so he urged them.
He and Du Ruhui had interacted with Lin Feng for a long time.
Under Lin Feng's influence, his ability to accept new things was a little stronger.
In addition, at that time, Lin Feng was explaining the locusts while showing off his body.
Only then would the two of them be able to eat it easily.
However, the ministers present did not receive such treatment.
Fang Xuanling saw his old partner Du Ruhui eating happily and Li Shiming's impatient eyes.
He looked at Du Ruhui without leaving a trace.
The two of them had worked together for many years and had a tacit understanding.
Du Ruhui nodded at Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling made up his mind.
It would be unreasonable not to eat something bestowed by the emperor today.
Instead of dragging things out, it was better to be decisive.
Let His Majesty see his loyalty to him.
Fang Xuanling grabbed four to five locusts and stuffed them into his mouth.
He also started chewing rhythmically like Du Ruhui.
The stench, bitterness, or some indescribable strange smell that he had imagined did not come.
After the locust entered his mouth, it emitted an oily fragrance.
Moreover, the locusts that had been fried just right were very crisp when they were chewed.
Fang Xuanling even thought that if he could have a sip of wine to go with it.
That was simply a great enjoyment in the human world!
The two prime ministers of the current dynasty had already made their move.
Zhangsun Wuji, the head of all officials, naturally could not hang on any longer.
He saw that Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, these two old fellows, looked normal when they ate, so he also grabbed one and put it in his mouth.
Then, more and more people began to try.
However, most of the people who ate the locusts felt a little disgusted at first.
After that, he slowly got a taste of it.
However, there were very few who could not get over the hurdle in their hearts. As they ate,
He finally vomited.
"Do you think that I am cruel and heartless to let you eat such an ugly thing? Or petty?"
Li Shi Min finally opened his mouth after everyone had made their move.
His thoughts were over.
Next, they had to talk about serious matters.
"To tell you the truth, before you came, Zhen had already eaten a plate. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let you eat it."
When the officials who had vomited heard Li Shiming's words, they immediately felt the hairs on their backs stand up.
Damn, even the emperor could eat this thing, but now he actually vomited.
Wouldn't this be slapping the emperor in the face?
"We have always thought that the locust plague was caused by some heavenly deity, but have you ever thought about how these locusts came about? Did it appear out of thin air?"
"Actually, they all came out of the egg and have flesh and blood. Moreover, it wasn't poisonous! Then I ask you, why don't you find these locust eggs and destroy them before they hatch? Will there still be a locust plague? When the people saw the locusts again, they would not kneel on the ground and pray. Instead, they would drive the chickens and ducks to eliminate the locusts? Then, will there still be a locust plague?"
Li Shi Min said as he looked at the officials below.
His gaze also began to become sharp.
"Therefore, I would like everyone to remember this. In the future, if you don't understand or can't understand something, don't stand up and preach as if you're very capable and capable. Ignorance wasn't a sin, but it could kill people!”
"Just because some people are ignorant about locusts, they still use their self-righteous ways to shout and show off. He hoped to use this to cover up his incompetence and stupidity. Misleading the world! Do you know how much of the Great Tang's food has been eaten by these pests? How many people were starving and suffering from famine because of this?”
The more Li Shi Min spoke, the more agitated he became.
At this moment, it was as if he had returned to the time when he was being threatened and oppressed by a group of censors.
When he wrote down that inexplicable edict of self-sin in grievance.
He looked down at the usually arrogant and despotic censors who would complain about his little faults.
Li Shi Min felt extremely comfortable.
He had been suppressing it for a long time.
Because of the fact that his throne was not properly obtained, he was at a disadvantage when he fought with these officials.
Today, he, Li Shiming, stood up!
"Your Majesty, we are guilty!"
"Your Majesty, we are guilty!"
"For the sake of the common people of the world, His Majesty actually set an example and dispelled the heresy of those who had intentions to bewitch the hearts of the people! This is indeed the action of a wise monarch! I suggest that this time should be recorded in the annals of history for future generations to read. In addition, the matter of locusts being edible should be immediately announced to the world! We can't let the people of the Great Tang suffer such a disaster!”
"I agree!"
"We agree!"
