The buildings in the Summer Palace are not as large as the Daming Palace.

The style here is more suitable for living.

More than a dozen important officials gathered in the imperial study, which made the place look a little crowded.

However, at this time, no one's attention was left here, and they were staring at Li Kuan, wanting to see what different opinions he could give.

Changsun Wuji, who originally wanted to refute Li Kuan, had to hold back his words when he heard Li Shimin's eagerness to ask Li Kuan.

"Third, it's a little special. If His Majesty can take the lead in demonstrating, the effect may be much better."

A rare trace of entanglement appeared on Li Kuan's face.

However, Li Shimin definitely did his best to deal with the locust plague.

He didn't want his dynasty to be destroyed by a locust plague.

"You said, how do I need to cooperate and demonstrate, as long as I can do it, there is absolutely no problem!"

I have to say that as an emperor, Li Shimin is still very responsible and qualified.

Even if he has been ascended to the throne for eighteen years and has no initial aura in his heart, he can still stand up without hesitation when something happens.

Not to mention dragging him down, there is no problem letting him charge.

"Dear Dukes, this is what Your Majesty himself said. You have to help me testify."

At this time, Li Kuan actually showed a smile on his face that he deserved to be beaten.

Li Shimin immediately felt a "knock" sound, thinking that Li Kuan was about to dig a hole for him.

"Hmph, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is responsible for the country and the people, and you are busy with all your affairs every day. Your Majesty will do whatever is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty without hesitation; Your Majesty will fully support anything that is beneficial to the people; Your Majesty will have no reason to object to any locust plague that can truly resolve this locust plague. What does it mean to say this?"

Changsun Wuji was very disgusted with Li Kuan's expression of success.

It was obvious that the important officials in the court discussed the corresponding meeting of the locust plague with His Majesty, and he, Li Kuan, came over to join in the fun, but he wanted to lead everyone by the nose and control the development trend of the meeting.

This is not something Changsun Wuji can accept.

"That's right, Your Highness, what do you mean? Could it be that you still question your Majesty's words and not keeping your word? Now there are locust plagues in various counties in Yongzhou, and the disaster is in urgent need, but you are still keeping it there, what do you think?"

Gao Shilian gave Changsun Wuji an assist.

However, Li Kuan didn't care.

"Your Majesty, in fact, the method of the empress is very simple. The people are afraid of locust plagues because they all think that locusts are gods descended from heaven. It is because the mortals on the earth have done bad things and offended God, so they are punished by God.

In other words, the people believe that the locust plague is a locust sent by God to waste their crops. Locusts are not simple insects. In the hearts of the people, they are a kind of divine insect.

Therefore, the people from all over the Tang Dynasty were afraid of locusts; even in many prefectures and counties, they could see Locust City Temples. Once a locust plague occurs, as long as the locusts fly over, they would go to the temple, thinking of relying on kowtows to avoid disasters.

Of course, the empress can also understand the thoughts in the hearts of the people. When the locust plague, countless locusts flew overwhelmed, and the formation was very terrifying. Moreover, for the people, they believed that the locust plague was suddenly coming, and they did not know the principle of the formation of the locust plague, so they would be afraid when they saw the locusts.

At this time, we must let the people let go of their fears, let go of their fears about locusts, correctly understand the impact of locust plague, and even make reasonable use of locust plagues to reduce losses and create additional benefits."

After Li Kuan finished speaking this call, Li Shimin felt dizzy.

What are you talking about?

Is this the third countermeasure?

There is nothing to show off.

"After all the time, Your Highness, King of Chu, you still didn't say what your Majesty needs to do?"

Changsun Wuji frowned, his face very impatient.

"Your Majesty, it's actually very simple. I suggest that your Majesty take the lead in eating locusts!"

Li Kuan ignored the president Sun Wuji, but did not keep it a secret, but directly gave his own advice.

"Do you eat locusts?"

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment.

Then I started to feel nauseous in my heart.

He hasn't done this before.

In the early years of Zhenguan, there was also a locust plague in Guanzhong, and the situation was much more serious than it is now.

At that time, in order to express his will to share the joys and sorrows in front of the people, Li Shimin also ate a handful of locusts raw in front of all officials.

He will never forget that scene in his life.

Relying on his strong perseverance, Li Shimin swallowed a handful of locusts alive.

Could it be that Li Kuan wants to do such a thing himself now?

"Yes, eat locusts!"

When Li Kuan gave a positive answer, a silence fell into the imperial study.

Everyone knows that Li Shimin takes the lead in eating locusts, which can definitely effectively alleviate the people's fear of locusts.

However, except for Li Shimin taking the initiative to do this, they did not dare to speak out.

Now that Li Kuan, the naughty young man rushed out, they naturally had to remain silent.

"Okay! For the sake of the country and country of the Tang Dynasty, I have eaten this locust!"

Li Shimin felt a little confused, and after a while, he gave his own answer.

However, Li Kuan felt something was wrong with the atmosphere and felt that there must be something that he hadn't figured out clearly.

"Your Majesty, this locust is actually very delicious and rich in protein. It can be used as a meal for the officials in the court and the people of Chang'an City during this period."

"ah?"

Li Shimin was stunned after hearing Li Kuan's words.

What does this mean?

Are locusts delicious?

Why don’t I talk about eating? I just thought that when I was stuffing live locusts into my mouth, I really wanted to change all the food I ate in the morning?

Are we not eating the same locust?

"Rareless! Your Highness, Your Highness, you are too much! For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty is willing to do his best to eliminate the concerns of the people about locusts, even if you eat them, but this is not the reason why you are talking sarcastic here. Locusts are delicious? So do you want to eat a few of them first?"

At this time, Changsun Wuji once again broke the strange atmosphere on the scene.

But this time his speech was recognized by almost everyone except Li Kuan.

"Your Highness, it's no point in finding a reason why you can't get on the table like this. Your Majesty has already promised to eat locusts. You are also using the words "Locusts that taste delicious and nutritious" to deceive your Majesty. What's your intention?"

After finally taking the initiative, Gao Shilian naturally had to come out and make up for it.

"Ahem, although eating locusts is indeed a difficult thing to receive, it should be very beneficial to eliminate the fear of locusts by the people. The empress is also willing to follow His Majesty, eat locusts in front of civil and military officials, and in front of the people of Chang'an City."

Fang Xuanling suppressed the disgust in his heart and stood up to show that he and Li Shimin were in line with his pace.

"The Wei minister is also willing to eat locusts and set some examples for all officials!"

Fang Xuanling stood up, and Cen Wenben and others naturally expressed their willingness to eat locusts with them.

However, the expression on their faces was like they were about to eat Xiang.

"No, Your Majesty, Dear Dukes, the taste of this locust is really good. As long as it is cooked well, it tastes better than the shrimps from Dengzhou, and it tastes even more fragrant than the roasted chicken wings. Why do you all seem to eat something disgusting?"

Li Kuan's serious expression was confused by everyone.

Could this King of Chu have gotten into the mind?

Why say such inconsistent words?

Or is it that a prince like him who doesn’t know what locusts are at all, and he thinks it’s the same delicious as the Dengzhou prawns?

In the hall, a strange silence fell into another.

Even Changsun Wuji was a little confused about what Li Kuan was thinking.

"Kuan'er, do you really think locusts are delicious?"

In the end, it was Li Shimin who broke the silence.

"Yes, I just didn't think about eating locusts before. Today, when I heard about the locust plague, I immediately thought that this locust is actually a delicious dish. As long as it is well prepared, it will definitely not be worse than other dishes. It can even become a signature dish in DUDE and Wuheju in the future."

Gradually, Li Kuan realized a little why everyone's understanding was so different from his own.

"Your Majesty, the locust you ate before was caught and stuffed into your mouth, right?"

"If you don't eat this way, how do you eat it? Could it be that you still cook like cooking dishes?"

After Li Kuan finished speaking, Li Shimin became silent. Instead, Changsun Wuji, who was standing beside him, answered Li Kuan's words with a bad expression.

Changsun Wuji had a premonition that today's conversation was probably different from what he imagined. He wanted to dig a hole for Li Kuan and put a hat on him, and probably he could not succeed.

"Ah? It's really raw?"

A picture appeared in Li Kuan's mind, with locusts flying all over the sky. Li Shimin reached out and grabbed a locust, and then stuffed it into his mouth without looking at it.

When they were just stuffed in, the locusts were not dead yet, and all kinds of feet were dancing there.
