The eunuch on the side was about to ask Cheng Yaojin to go down, but he looked so unbecoming.
But Li Shimin raised his hand to interrupt him, and then said with a smile: "Since General Cheng likes to eat, I will give it to you."
Now that he’s finished talking, what else has he eaten?
Besides, if he didn't want the people to accept it, Li Shimin wouldn't want to eat this kind of food.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty! Hahaha..."
After thanking him, Cheng Yaojin took the plate in front of Li Shimin and walked away carelessly.
Xu Jingzong came to Li Yunxiao with a glass of wine.
"Brother Yunxiao, it was my fault just now. I doubted you. These locusts are edible and very delicious. I apologize to you."
Li Yunxiao didn't even raise his eyelids, and turned back to be between Li and Yuan, eating locusts together.
After his apology was rejected, a chill flashed in Xu Jingzong's eyes with his head lowered.
If Li Yunxiao's surname hadn't been Li and he was the one recommended by Li Shimin to taste the food, why would Xu Jingzong have apologized in such a low voice? !
"snort!"
With a slight snort, Xu Jingzong turned around to go back.
"Wait a minute."
Yuan Tiangang's voice came from behind him.
Xu Jingzong's body stiffened.
They all received the notice last night that Yuan Tiangang has been worshiped as a national master. Although he has no real power, if he wants someone to die, it is probably very simple, and he does not dare to offend.
With a smile on his face, Xu Jingzong asked: "Why did the Imperial Master call me?"
Before Yuan Tiangang opened his mouth, Li Chunfeng said calmly: "My brother Yunxiao doesn't like to make friends. Don't take it to heart. Let's forget about what happened before. How about that?"
Xu Jingzong looked surprised and said: "What? What's the matter? I don't know."
This look of pretending to be stupid made Li Chunfeng helplessly shake his head.
Yuan Tiangang said with a stern face: "Li Yunxiao is the brother of our master. If you show murderous intent again, our master will not give you a second chance!"
Xu Jingzong was so frightened that his legs went weak.
Is this a fucking village man from Yamano?
Can Mr. Shanye ask Li Chunfeng to speak for him?
Can a mountain villager allow Yuan Tiangang to be called a brother?
"I...I know."
After saying this, Xu Jingzong quickly returned to his table.
Now it's better, I failed to apologize and got a lot of resentment.
Li Yunxiao always drank wine and ate locusts calmly. He was not arrogant, but indifferent.
This was entirely Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang's own behavior. He didn't ask anyone to help him. He wanted to take revenge himself, but not now.
Xu Jingzong, who returned to the table, glanced at the table and was suddenly stunned.
The plate is still there, but the locusts are gone!
They all came out hungry all morning. He pretended to be polite and only ate a few. When he came back, his plate was cleaner than his face!
He was furious and whispered viciously: "Who ate my locusts!"
"I ate it. I saw you were eating so slowly. You must not like it, so I ate it for you. No need to thank me!"
Xu Jingzong lowered his head and narrowed his eyes. He was almost pissed off.
But when he raised his head, he smiled again.
"General Cheng likes to eat, so go ahead and eat it. I really don't like this thing very much."
What he said was really against his will. He had tasted the locusts and they were delicious, but what could he do?
Who dares to make a loud noise here if I can't beat him or scold him? Not to mention swearing.
Soon, when all the officials had finished eating, they all saluted Li Shimin.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the food!"
When the people heard this, they all knelt on the ground.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the feast!"
"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"
At this time, the people suddenly had a solution in their minds.
Since it is edible and so delicious, then the locust plague is no longer a locust plague, but a time to make a fortune!
The government has now begun to collect locusts in large quantities, paying ten cents a pound.
And they can be cooked and sold as delicacies, or sold directly to merchants.
This not only made up for his losses, but also made a small fortune, and the resentment towards Li Shimin in his heart was instantly reduced to ashes.
The corners of Li Shimin's mouth curled up, and the matter was resolved unexpectedly.
None of them thought that eating would solve this problem.
Li Shimin slowly stood up and said with a smile:
"Common people and ministers, are you enjoying your meal?"
When the ministers heard Li Shimin's words, they shouted in unison: "Have fun!"
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction.
"The locust plague can be solved, but I want to ask you a question!"
"Do you know who gave me the idea of eating locusts?"
Cheng Yaojin shouted directly: "Of course it's the Imperial Master, it's either Li Chunfeng, ah, no, or it's Sun Yaowang, Your Majesty, let me think about it."
Li Yunxiao looked at Cheng Yaojin and sighed.
He went to Yuan Tiangang's house yesterday to eat and drink, so he forgot who made fried locusts for him?
Cheng Yaojin will naturally not forget that it was Li Yunxiao who blew up the locusts, but just because he blew up the locusts doesn't mean that the proposal was made by him.
After hearing what Cheng Yaojin said, all the ministers also nodded. Cheng Yaojin basically said everything they could say, and they felt the same.
Li Shimin smiled lightly and shook his head.
Then he waved to Li Yunxiao.
Li Yunxiao sighed inwardly. This guy was really not going to let him go. Wouldn't it be dangerous for him to perform meritorious service so blatantly now?
Perhaps because he had watched too many palace dramas, Li Yunxiao felt that everyone except Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng and Sun Simiao were hostile to him.
Li Chunfeng used his inner strength to condense his sounds into lines.
"Brother Yunxiao, try not to make any demands later, and you can get away."
Li Yunxiao was startled when he heard this, and then quickly pretended not to know anything.
Not far from Li Shimin's stage.
Li Shimin came down from the stage, patted Li Yunxiao on the shoulder, and said to the officials:
"This solution is the idea that Li Yunxiao came up with for me!"
"What!? It's him!?"
Xu Jingzong really wants to give himself a few slaps now.
It turned out that he was the one who gave Li Shimin the idea, which not only solved the locust plague, but also allowed the people to make up for their losses.
This must be a great achievement!
Why did you kick yourself onto the iron plate?
The surrounding civil and military officials glanced at each other. It was their first time meeting Li Yunxiao, but judging from his handsome appearance, he was no less handsome than Li Shimin.
Moreover, next to Li Shimin, this guy's face can still be so calm, which is really scary!
If Li Yunxiao knew about it, he would definitely say a few words.
He was so indifferent, his face froze. If he didn't smile, would he be crying?
Li Shimin continued at this time: "This locust is not a disaster, but a gift from the Tang Dynasty, a baptism!"
"This is heaven! It's testing me, Datang!"
"Starting today, I will send 10,000 soldiers to Shandong to join forces with officials from all over the country to catch cooking locusts. If the people have nowhere to sell the locusts, the government will buy them for five cents per catty! There is no limit!"
"I believe it! In less than ten days, the locust plague in our Tang Dynasty will definitely be solved!!"
"Long live my emperor!"
"Long live my emperor!!"
The people cheered and shouted long live.
Li Shimin was in a good mood. He turned his head and asked, "Li Yunxiao, you have made great contributions in making suggestions. Tell me, I can give you any reward you want!"
Li Yunxiao glanced at Li Yuan and then asked timidly: "Did you tell me?"
Li Shimin nodded: "Say!"
"It's very simple. I want a gold medal to avoid death."
"What? This kid actually wants a gold medal to avoid death!?"
The officials below were stunned.
Is this kid crazy? To what kind of hero can the death-free gold medal be given? Why should he, Li Yunxiao? Just by solving the locust plague?
Even if Li Yunxiao hadn't said anything, they would have thought of this method sooner or later. How dare he?
Li Shimin also frowned slightly, but it only relaxed for a moment.
"Hehehe.... Just a gold medal to avoid death?"
Li Yunxiao nodded.
According to his understanding, the death-free gold medal means that one can avoid death, just like the special resurrection coins. Since people insist on giving rewards, of course they must be one that seems useful.
"good!"
Li Shimin glanced at all the civil and military officials and said loudly: "Li Yunxiao has helped me relieve my worries, and I will give you a gold medal to avoid death. In addition, from now on, Li Yunxiao can freely enter and exit the palace. If there is any obstruction, the palace regulations will deal with it!"
Li Shimin's words contained inner strength, which resounded in everyone's ears.
All the civil and military officials looked at each other. A few of them wanted to express some objections, but after seeing Li Shimin's indifferent eyes, they had no choice but to bow and salute, and said loudly:
"Your Majesty clearly shows..."
Li Yunxiao was in a good mood and saluted Li Shimin.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. You are so handsome, Your Majesty."
After saying this, Li Yunxiao said in his heart at the same time: "It's worse than me."
Li Shimin laughed when he heard this and patted his shoulder again like a friend.
"I am very pleased that talented people like you can exist in the Tang Dynasty. I will send someone to deliver the gold medal to you in the future."
After speaking, Li Shimin turned around and walked back.
The eunuch on the side said loudly: "Let's drive back to the palace~~~"
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!!"
All the officials bowed their heads and saluted.
After Li Shimin left, Yuan Tiangang went to find Sun Simiao, bowed deeply to Sun Simiao, and then the two started chatting.
Li Chunfeng came over and put his arms around Li Yunxiao's neck and said, "You can do it, I told you not to ask for anything, but you actually asked for a gold medal to avoid death."
"Do you know what kind of meritorious deeds are required to get the death-free gold medal? You really got a big deal."
At this point, Li Chunfeng changed the subject and said: "But you are now well known to the people and officials of Chang'an. It will be difficult for you to leave the imperial court in the future~~"
Li Yunxiao rolled his eyes and retorted: "Stop making fun of me. Do you think I can run away? He obviously doesn't want me to stay."
Speaking of this, Li Yunxiao looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and sighed secretly: "Oh, I, Li Yunxiao, am like a firefly in the dark night. I am so bright and shining. No matter where I hide, I will be discovered by others. It is really distressing. Wow....."
Li Chunfeng sneered and said: "Brother Yunxiao, everything in the world is constantly changing. Just let nature take its course. Even if you have a death-free medal, it doesn't mean you have to do something. You are free now."
Li Yunxiao chuckled and said: "Of course I know. By the way, when the death-free gold medal comes, how about we go to the brothel for a visit."
Li Chunfeng was stunned when he heard this.
"Brother Yunxiao wants to have a good time? I can't tell. It turns out you are this kind of person."
"What do you know? I'm going to make myself a bit useless and slovenly so that others won't worry about me. If you don't want to go, you don't have to go."
"That won't work. I'm teaching you how to stargaze. What if you're lazy when I'm not with you?"
At this moment, Yuan Tiangang came over.
"What are you talking about? You are so cheerful."
Li Yunxiao said: "Oh, I just said to go to Qing... um!!"
Li Chunfeng covered Li Yunxiao's mouth and said with a smile: "He wants to go to a place with green mountains and green waters."
"Old Master Simiao, your residence has an extraordinary view. Why don't you go and sit there today?"
Yuan Tiangang smiled at the corner of his eyes and joked: "If he goes to a land of green mountains and green waters, why do you cover his mouth?"
"I think you two want to visit a brothel."
"Who said that!? Huh?" Li Chunfeng pretended to be surprised, and then looked at Li Yunxiao: "Brother Yunxiao, don't you see that you are actually going to visit a brothel?"
