"The heavens truly bless our Great Tang!"
Li Shi Min laughed out loud.
Everyone in the hall was at a loss.
Had His Majesty gone mad with anger?
Fang Xuanling mustered up his courage and asked,"
"Your Majesty, why are you laughing?"
Li Shimin handed the letter to the chamberlain and asked him to give it to the ministers to read.
"Changle knew a young man among the people. The young man used locusts as ingredients, and the taste was incomparably beautiful.”
As soon as he said this.
The hall was immediately in an uproar.
They fought to read the letter.
One of the ministers questioned,"Your Majesty, this letter might be fake. Locusts are filthy things. How can they eat them?”
"In this subject's opinion, this is a plot by Turkic spies to poison the people of the Great Tang!”
These words immediately won the approval of all the officials.
Locusts were an ominous thing since ancient times.
There were even rumors that it was poisonous.
Who would be crazy to use it as an ingredient?
"No, it can't be fake.”"This is Changle's handwriting. I recognize it. It can't be fake," Li Shimin denied.”
"What if Her Highness falls into the hands of the bad guys and is forced to write this letter?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the hall fell silent.
It was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.
Wasn't he cursing the princess for being kidnapped?
Everyone looked over in unison.
It turned out that it was Duke Lu Cheng who was watching the show.
If it was him, it would not be strange.
This fellow always spoke without any seriousness.
Perhaps he didn't even realize that he had offended Li Shiming.
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin saw that everyone was staring at him strangely, and an ominous feeling rose in his heart.
"Ahem, Minister Cheng is right. Therefore, he had to find someone to test whether the contents of the letter were true or false.”
Li Shimin looked at Cheng Yaojin coldly and said,""Minister Cheng, you are the general of a country. This important task will be handed to you. You must not let me down!”
"F * ck!"
Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but curse.
Let him try eating locusts?
Who the f * ck could withstand this!
" Your, Your Majesty, my stomach hasn't been feeling well recently. You'd better find someone else," Cheng Yaojin quickly said.
"Oh? His stomach wasn't feeling well, and he was still secretly eating beef?”
Knowing that Cheng Yaojin would refuse, Li Shimin snorted coldly,"Then let the Supreme Court investigate how many cows State Duke Lu's family ate this month. Then, we'll deal with them according to the law."
Boom!
Cheng Yaojin felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his head buzzed.
Two days ago, he was greedy and had indeed killed a cow.
According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, cattle could not be slaughtered.
If he found out, he might not be able to keep his title as Duke.
"Don't, don't, don't. It's just eating locusts.”Cheng Yaojin quickly admitted defeat.
"Men, follow the method in Chang Le's letter and fry the locusts well and present them to Duke Lu.”
Li Shi Min ordered.
The imperial chefs immediately boiled the oil in the pot and placed the locusts that they had caught beforehand into it.
Soon, the fried locust dish was ready and placed in front of Cheng Yaojin.
"Minister Cheng, please enjoy."
Li Shimin spread his hands and signaled Cheng Yaojin to start eating.
The latter picked up his chopsticks shakily. His old face was even uglier than crying.
How was this a meal? This was clearly a poison test!
Many of the officials at the side covered their mouths when they saw this scene and could not help but snicker.
"Brat, where did you get that letter? It killed your father.”
Cheng Yaojin had a long face. This scene was as comical as it could be.
Cheng Chumo:
Cheng Chumo was also speechless.
It's obviously you who said the wrong thing, okay
He was only in charge of delivering the letter. Who did he offend?
"I don't care!"
Cheng Yaojin gritted his teeth and immediately threw a grasshopper into his mouth.
Bam!
The sound of locusts being chewed on instantly made the surrounding officials nauseous.
"How is it? How was the taste? Do you feel any discomfort?"
"Ah! It tasted so bad! I feel like I'm going to die from poisoning!"
Cheng Yaojin shouted and immediately put the second locust into his mouth.
"It's too unpalatable. It's definitely poisonous. Everyone, don't eat it."
Then, the third, fourth, and fifth.
In the time it took to make a cup of tea, Cheng Yaojin had swept away all the locusts on the plate.
This time, the officials were dumbfounded.
This is called unpalatable? This was poisonous? You're picking your teeth?
"Anything else?"
Cheng Yaojin burped in relief and asked.
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll serve it to you now.”
The imperial chef immediately ran back to the imperial kitchen and brought out the remaining plates of locusts.
"Don't eat it. I, Old Cheng, will suffer for you.”
As soon as the fried locust was served, Cheng Yaojin could not help but want to take it for himself.
Yuchi Gong felt that something was amiss. He snatched the chopsticks and also put a locust into his mouth.
"F * ck! This is delicious!"
Yuchi Gong was simple-minded and directly announced this delicacy to the world.
Everyone was enlightened.
No wonder Cheng Yaojin was eating so happily.
It turned out that locusts were really like what Princess Changle had said, a delicious ingredient!
Not only the officials, but even Li Shimin came down from his throne and put a locust into his mouth.
then
"Haha! The Great Tang was saved! Zhen's Changle doesn't need to marry anymore!"
Li Shimin was so happy that he cried.
Once locusts were used as ingredients, why would they need to worry about food?
He probably couldn't even finish it!
He didn't expect that the disaster relief method that he couldn't even scratch his head with was actually easily solved by a youth.
What a great talent!
Fang Xuanling and the other officials also bowed and said,""Congratulations, Your Majesty, for once again saving the Great Tang from danger.”
Li Shi Min waved his hand. This wasn't his idea. He didn't want to be greedy.
Now, he only wanted to see the youth in the letter.
What kind of person could think of a way to feed the locusts?
This was simply a great service to the Great Tang!
Of course, there was another reason.
That was to say, if they found this young man, they would be able to find the people of Chang Le.
