Seeing Li Yunxiao still standing blankly, Li Chunfeng quickly pulled him up. He was now like an emotionless puppet.
After reacting, Li Yunxiao also knelt on the ground along with everyone.
Li Shimin raised his hand slightly and said in a calm tone: "There is no need to perform such a big ceremony, just stay calm."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After everyone stood up in response, Li Shimin glanced at the eunuch beside him.
The eunuch was now acting as a messenger, and he was seen shouting in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty, please give me a meal!"
A group of royal chefs walked out from the crowd and placed plates of locusts on the table.
Li Shimin took a seat on the high platform, picked up the chopsticks in his hand, and looked down.
The civil and military officials looked at the things in front of them and recognized the locust in an instant, and the discussion quickly started.
"Locusts? How can these locusts eat!"
"Isn't it true that locusts can still be eaten? I have never heard of such a ridiculous thing!"
"What do you mean, Your Majesty? If I eat such a filthy thing, can I survive today?"
The people around them were also stunned. There were tables hundreds of meters long outside them, and they were also covered with locusts.
Immediately, some people cursed Li Shimin in their hearts for inviting people to eat, but they actually wanted to eat bugs! Is this an insult to them?
But I just dare to think about it in my heart. If I say it or leave now, I'm afraid I will be clicked immediately.
Changsun Wuji and others' eyes twitched fiercely, and they couldn't help but glance at Cheng Yaojin.
Is this the delicacy he calls? Still making him so impatient?
Cheng Yaojin looked confident and clicked his mouth twice.
"Look at the bears you look like, haha."
After finally showing his face for once, Cheng Yaojin felt very relieved.
Li Shimin noticed the movements of the civil and military officials, wrapped his voice with his inner strength, and coughed twice.
The officials below stopped talking instantly and looked at Li Shimin.
As a veteran of the Tang Dynasty, Wei Zheng stood up first, kowtowed to Li Shimin, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I don't know why you want me to eat locusts."
"Locusts are filthy things, and the people are suffering from famine, all because of locusts. Your Majesty, I cannot understand your behavior!"
Among the officials, except for Cheng Yaojin who ignored it at all, the other officials all echoed in unison: "I can't understand why!"
Li Shimin glanced at Wei Zheng lightly, smiled and nodded.
"good!"
"Since you want to explain, then I! I will explain to you!"
"Li Yunxiao."
Yuan Tiangang frowned slightly, took out two silver needles, and plunged them directly into Li Yunxiao's body.
"hiss!!"
Li Yunxiao quickly pulled out two silver needles from his abdomen.
"Damn, you want to hurt me to death for such a thick guy?"
The silver needle was more than ten centimeters long, much thicker than the silver needle he had imagined.
Although he is indeed more energetic now, it still really hurts!
Yuan Tiangang said softly: "I'm here to cheer you up. Go quickly. His Majesty asked you to explain why you let them eat locusts."
Li Yunxiao looked around. Is there any explanation for this? Just eat it?
Shaking his head, Li Yunxiao walked to the middle and bowed to Li Shimin.
"Li Yunxiao, a villager from Shanye, pays homage to Your Majesty."
Li Shimin waved his hand: "No courtesy."
Then Li Shimin looked at Li Yunxiao with a smile and said: "Li Yunxiao, my civil and military officials want an explanation. Why don't you come and give them an explanation on my behalf?"
The civil and military officials and ministers looked at Li Yunxiao's unfamiliar face. Most of them had their nostrils turned upward and looked at him with contempt.
"I thought he was someone who could stand with the Imperial Master and Li Chunfeng, but he turned out to be a mountain villager."
Someone whispered, Li Yunxiao looked at the voice and asked, "What's your surname?"
"Your Majesty personally gave it to Doctor Yinqing Guanglu, Xu Jingzong!"
"Oh~~Xu Jingzong." Li Yunxiao nodded.
Xu Jingzong snorted softly and turned his face to the side, looking like a villain who had gained power.
Xu Jingzong had provided many strategies for Li Shimin. Now was the early Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin was more fond of talents. Even if he knew what kind of person Xu Jingzong was, he would not abandon him.
There is no way, there are very few talents now, and only one in ten thousand can be chosen by Li Shimin.
Li Yunxiao fell into memories. Having watched TV series before, he knew that this guy was not a good guy.
"I remember you."
Xu Jingzong thought Li Yunxiao was praising him, so he immediately said: "There are many people who want to remember me, so you have to remember it clearly."
"I know you're fucked!" Li Yunxiao cursed in his heart.
On the surface, he nodded, then came to Xu Jingzong, picked up a locust, and shouted loudly:
"Locusts! They can be used as medicine. They can relieve heat and swelling, nourish yin and nourish yang. Their nutrition is several times that of common meat. They are beneficial to the body without any harm!"
"This is one of the rare delicacies in the world. I, Li Yunxiao, guarantee that these locusts can eat it!"
After Li Yunxiao said this, many people came out to refute on the spot.
"What do you, a mountain villager, know? You can eat whatever you say you can."
"That is, according to your words, the flies can also be eaten?"
Li Yunxiao said without thinking: "All living beings are equal under the oil pan. If you want to eat flies, I can catch some for you."
After saying that, Li Yunxiao still cursed him in his heart.
"you...."
He raised his hand and pointed at Li Yunxiao, who was instantly so angry that he couldn't speak.
Xu Jingzong stood aside, with a hint of ridicule on his face, pointing to the locusts on the table.
"It's empty talk. If you eat this plate of locusts, I don't care about them, but I believe in you!"
"Do I really need you to believe me? His Majesty already believes it, but you are better than His Majesty?"
"Awesome?" Xu Jingzong was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he meant.
"It's really troublesome, mother-in-law!" Cheng Yaojin shouted at the side, picked up one and ate it.
"Brother Yunxiao, I believe in you and I will help you eat! Bring it to me!"
Li Yunxiao didn't even look at Xu Jingzong again, and brought his plate to Cheng Yaojin.
Then he and Cheng Yaojin started eating together.
Within half a quarter of an hour, the ministers and the people around them could see clearly that the two of them were eating very quickly, one after another.
I even vaguely felt that when Cheng Yaojin ate, he seemed to be competing. If Li Yunxiao took one, he would take two, and if Li Yunxiao took two, he would take four...
Everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they saw the two eating so happily.
Raising the empty plate in his hand, Li Yunxiao shouted loudly: "You've finished eating, did you see it? If anyone still doesn't believe it, you can have another plate, I'm eating it to show you!"
Snapped!
As soon as he finished speaking, the plate was thrown directly on Xu Jingzong's table.
"You!!! How dare you be unreasonable to me!"
Xu Jingzong shouted angrily, turned around and looked at Li Shimin with his hands raised, and said, "Your Majesty, this..."
"Don't talk about anything else! Let me ask you, have I finished eating?"
The words were interrupted. Xu Jingzong looked at Li Shimin and found that Li Shimin didn't make any move and was still looking at him with that indifferent expression.
Seeing this, his heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that Li Yunxiao is not a villager in the mountains, but some important person of Li Shimin?
Li Yunxiao...
He recited the name silently in his mind, and he felt more and more that this was the case.
Wasn't he a little reckless just now?
Thinking of this, he calmed down a little and replied, "I'm done eating, but that doesn't mean I'll be okay after eating!"
"Just because he ate it doesn't mean he's fine. Can I try it and prove it?"
A young man dressed in brocade came from a distance with his hands behind his back.
After finishing speaking, he saluted Li Shimin.
"Old Sun Simiao, I would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Li Shimin raised his hand to indicate his level.
Sun Simiao came to Li Yunxiao and looked him up and down. Li Yunxiao also looked at Sun Simiao, and was shocked.
Sun Simiao.
He had heard this name before, the Immortal Doctor.
But he thought this immortality was longevity. After meeting the real person, he realized that this was not longevity. Isn't this just rejuvenation?
The man in front of him had red lips and white teeth. Although he could not be called handsome, his elegant temperament was very attractive.
Everyone's appearance changed when they heard that Sun Simiao was trying it.
Sun Simiao was well-known as a miraculous doctor and the king of medicine. They would naturally believe what he said.
"Not bad...."
"I think your aura is mixed but not refined. I advise you not to be greedy for too much, but to focus on self-cultivation."
Li Yunxiao cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for letting me know. I'll pay attention to it."
Wei Zheng glanced at Sun Simiao. Even he came out to prove it, so naturally he wanted to eat it.
After looking at the people around him, Wei Zheng picked up a grasshopper and put it in his mouth.
"Um!!"
After taking a bite, he suddenly picked up the plate and looked at it carefully for a moment, then started eating again.
While eating, he said to the person next to him: "It's so delicious, really!"
Cheng Yaojin shouted from the side: "Don't waste it if you don't want to eat it, bring it to me, hurry up! Otherwise, I will snatch it!!"
At this moment, Li Shimin raised his chopsticks on the high platform and added a locust.
"eat!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shimin ate it in front of the officials and people.
Now, the civil and military officials and the people became lively.
The emperor takes the lead in eating locusts, but if they don't eat them, what's the point?
But after eating it, they realized that it was really delicious!
There are unknown ingredients sprinkled on top, and it tastes absolutely delicious!
For a moment, the group of people were scrambling to grab the locusts in front of them. Some people thought it was delicious after eating, and their eyes unconsciously glanced at the plate of the person next to them.
"Hey, Mr. Zhao, what's on your plate?"
The person known as Mr. Zhao chuckled and said: "Don't play tricks on me. If you want to eat it later, find someone to serve it yourself!"
"Oh, Mr. Zhao, Brother Zhao, I am one of the people who objected just now. Aren't I embarrassed? In this way, I will give you the same amount in exchange for half. If you come here, you will eat half."
"Go, go, Guan Guan? You just want to buy my plate of locusts, at least ten Guan."
It is always just one tael of silver. If it is not for greed, ten taels of silver is not a drop in the bucket in front of officials.
Li Shimin always paid attention to this group of people.
Seeing this scene, I felt angry and funny.
He didn't expect that locusts would be so popular after using Li Yunxiao's specially prepared ingredients.
And after eating it himself, he thought it was delicious.
But there were only a few locusts in one day, and now they have all come up.
It seems that these ministers haven't had enough.
Cheng Yaojin licked his fingers, and he had eaten all the food on the plate.
Then he looked around and saw that everyone around him was holding plates, which made Cheng Yaojin roll his eyes.
Then he turned his attention to Li Shimin, who was chewing slowly.
Li Shimin felt the gaze and was slightly startled.
Then, in his surprised eyes, Cheng Yaojin came to him with a plate, scratched his head, and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression:
"Your Majesty, are you still eating? If not, can you reward me? I'm not full yet."
