If you have an iron rod or steel pipe net bag, then there is no doubt that you are the king among a group of friends, and you can immediately take your brothers to the overgrown places for glory!
Xue Guoguan, I asked you to continue to be the chief assistant. As an immediate reward, can you at least act as a "worm care" for me today?
"Your Highness, I also caught dragonflies and locusts when I was young. These two insects seem to have wings. However, dragonflies are more than ten times more agile than locusts and are extremely difficult to catch!"
Xue Guoguan didn't know at first what the thing the little prince was holding was used for, but combined with the previous content of catching locusts, its role became obvious.
After just staring at it for a few seconds, the chief minister of the cabinet understood the purpose of this thing. With such a thing that can sweep back and forth, it is not difficult to catch locusts.
According to the prince, this object should be used to catch dragonflies. As long as the more difficult to catch dragonflies can be caught, then catching locusts will be easy.
With the comparison of the difficulty of the two insects, it would be ridiculous for the ministers to say that locusts are difficult to catch. If you can't even understand this, then you are really not as good as this ten-year-old prince.
Yaoji was quite satisfied with the explanation of this "insect support", so he did not embarrass the chief assistant for the time being: "What Xue Aiqing said is absolutely true, and I deeply believe it. This magic weapon is the only weapon for catching dragonflies. As long as you add a little By playing with it, you can put the dragonfly net into the cloth bag. The structure is simple and can be manufactured in large quantities. When you come to court, take it and circulate it to all your beloved ministers!"
A group of useless ministers discussed this, not praising it, but questioning it. After reading it, most of them felt that the net bag was too simple. They already had similar things at home. They used this thing to catch the locusts. It's incredible.
What I like is what you hate. I saw your ability to troll people yesterday.
Yao Ji had already expected this reaction, so he smiled and said: "Since you all have doubts, I might as well demonstrate it. If you catch a dragonfly, the dust will be settled!"
After being touched by a group of "old bones" with nails like female anchors, Yang Jinchao hurriedly wiped the wooden sticks of the net bag with rhubarb silk to avoid contaminating the prince's little hands.
Zhong Qiang, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, suddenly came out and wanted to stop the prince's actions: "Your Highness is a rich man, how can you do such a condescending thing?"
Yesterday's court meeting was lively enough. Today's court meeting has just begun. The prince will catch dragonflies with a cloth bag in front of the ministers. If it is recorded by historians, it will definitely be another unprecedented event. Embarrassing thing.
Yaoji didn't care about his own reputation. His reputation as a blame-shifter was already bad on the streets. If he didn't turn the tide, the reputation of the old Zhu family would really be ruined: "It doesn't matter, if even a child like me can catch him." Living as a dragonfly, I dare to ask you dear friends, how come I, a strong grown man from the Ming Dynasty, cannot catch locusts?"
Stinky tofu smells bad and tastes delicious. Xiang smells bad and eats bad. There is an essential difference between the two!
In addition to Zhong Yan, there were also cabinet ministers Zhang Sizhi, Chen Yan, Wei Zhaocheng and others who also came out to stop him. However, they were all just pretentious. After being criticized by the prince yesterday, they all wanted to find opportunities to lose face today. When I come back, I'm just waiting for the prince to make a fool of himself.
Xue Guoguan adhered to his previous style of listening more, watching more, and speaking carefully. The prince did not ask, so he remained silent and watched the pig teammates around him jump into the trap dug by the prince one by one...
Yaoji knew very well the thoughts of the ministers, so he picked up his net bag and slowly walked down the steps of the throne. Under the protection of a group of eunuchs and Han generals, he walked out of the main entrance of Fengtian Hall happily.
"You all should leave ten steps away from me. You are not allowed to approach without my order!"
Being disturbed by these idiots, how about catching a sesame dragonfly?
After giving the order, Yaoji rolled up his sleeves and lifted up his hem, then stood on the white marble platform and looked around. This move made the ministers below the third rank and below confused. Therefore, no one knew that the prince was doing this. What to do.
"Huh? It really takes no effort at all!"
Yaoji suddenly saw a "brain case" with a head covered with yellow down and an orange slender body, and it fell on the white marble armrest stupidly, as if it was lazily basking in the sun, only five meters away.
So, the little prince who was catching dragonflies held his net bag and tiptoed close to the target, fearing that his movements would make noise and disturb his favorite prey.
You know, this is not a small step for the prince, but a giant step for the empire!
Confucius said: It is the prince's duty to catch insects for the country!
Although he is not an adult and does not have such a strong sweep, Yaoji's net bag is also tailor-made according to his own strength, coupled with his experience in catching insects in his previous life, it is not theoretically difficult to cull the dragonflies that defy the dynasty. It's not too big, so there may be some minor problems in actual operation, but it's definitely not insurmountable.
At this moment, Yaoji seemed not to be catching bugs alone. His beautiful mother, palace maids, eunuchs, ministers, guards, and more than a thousand people were all looking at him quietly. The prince was carrying the only remaining hope for the revival of the empire.
No matter how hard and tiring it is, I will use my frail little body to lift up this crumbling empire, get rid of the rut that has slipped into the abyss, and move forward on a new road.
Thinking of this, Yao Ji couldn't help but keep an eye on the prey in front of him, and grasped the wooden stick in his hand. The beating frequency of his heart suddenly accelerated, as if he was about to have a hand-to-hand encounter with a ruthless enemy.
Calculate the wind direction, find the correct angle, estimate the lead time, and speculate on the prey's possible escape route. After a series of complex and scientific analyses, an extremely feasible operation plan is derived.
Then make up your mind, seize the opportunity, hold your breath, let your energy sink in your Dantian, use your arms to fight, use the mini version of the ancient power that has always been hidden in your body, and give it a hug...
Well, this is just a simple game of catching bugs!
"..."
His movements just now were so fast that even his own eyes were not sure whether he saw his prey caught.
Generally speaking, after sweeping the net bag sideways, in order to prevent the prey from flying out of the mouth of the net, there will be a hand shaking movement, so that the net bag can be raised upwards, and with the help of inertia, the tail of the net bag can be buckled up to catch the prey. Dead inside.
Yaoji does the same thing, but because the cloth bag is not transparent, it is difficult to see with the naked eye whether there is any harvest inside unless the prey is violently tossed.
After the thrilling moment just now, the silly "brain case" was not seen escaping from the side of the net bag, and most likely it was still in the net bag.
This guy didn't know how to bite, so Yao Ji simply stretched out his tender hand and groped around along the outside of the cloth pocket.
really……
"Ahahaha~! I am winning!"
As the first confrontation between each other today, Yaoji still attaches great importance to tactics.
He slowly took the "brain case" out of the cloth pocket, pinched the wings of the prey with his lower hand, turned around and showed it to the officials.
Yang Jinchao, who had sharp eyes and a quick mouth, saw him and hurriedly flattered him: "Your Highness is mighty!"
The prince is only ten years old, so it would be difficult to kill the enemy in battle, but catching insects can show his heroic spirit.
The Yaoji proudly waved his hand, indicating that the sycophants could turn off the engine, and then loudly reprimanded the ministers: "Dragonflies are so difficult to catch, even a child in this palace can catch them. Locusts move slower than dragonflies, and they are greedy. I am an adult man of the Ming Dynasty. Is there any reason to do anything? Even the best crops can be eaten up by locusts!"
Just now, some ministers even secretly prayed in their hearts to let the prince fall in vain and return disappointed, waiting to see his joke. But the little prince has practiced it thousands of times, and no one in the palace dares to catch dragonflies, so these things are very stupid, and they work in one move, making the ministers with ulterior motives really better than eating Huanglian. Still uncomfortable.
"Yan Jizu!"
"I'm here!"
"You are the governor of Shandong. You should master the method of using this magic weapon before you can demonstrate it personally. I limit you to catch one dragonfly and two locusts within one stick of incense. If you fail, don't have lunch. !”
"...I obey your order!"
After saying that, he released the dragonfly in his hand, letting this stupid thing live for a whole summer, and eating hundreds more mosquitoes anyway, so as to save himself from donating blood to the Zerg at night.
After hearing such an order, Yan Jizu was really depressed. A high-ranking official in the frontiers was actually caught with a net bag to catch dragonflies. Fortune has played a trick on people. How sad...
It's really a mixture of emotions when holding the stick. Catching bugs under the comments of the ministers, if you miss, it will be really humiliating.
The time of burning an incense stick is not long or short. Lunch is a small matter, but face is a big matter.
The prince could accomplish the task as soon as he took action. If he were holding this ridiculous "magic weapon", if he couldn't complete the task within one stick of incense, it would really be ridiculous.
Despite all the reluctance in his heart, the prince had orders and the reasons were high-sounding. No matter how unwilling Yan Jizu was, he had to bite the bullet and do it.
At first Yan Jizu thought that the prince was deliberately making things difficult for him, but then he thought again that if the number of captures was doubled, he would have to follow orders.
With this net bag, it is easy to catch two locusts. As long as you use more force and catch a dragonfly, the task is completed.
Some people really couldn't stand the prince's nonsense. Lin Yuji, the Minister of Rites, couldn't bear it anymore and came out to object: "Your Highness, ordering the governor to catch insects in the outer court is really a ridiculous move. It has never been done before in the past dynasties. It is also against etiquette and propriety. I hope Your Highness takes back his orders!"
Let the prince continue to make trouble this early in the morning. I really don't know what will happen in today's court meeting. Yesterday, all the ministers were suppressed by the prince. Today, we must turn things around. We must not let the young prince continue to act his own way.
Seeing someone coming forward to argue with the prince, Yao Minggong, the minister of rites who entered the cabinet, also echoed: "I reconsider what Lin Shangshu said, the governor is catching insects, which is discordant both emotionally and rationally. I hope your highness will think twice."
