Crunch, crunch.
Li Shimin was chewing the locust in front of thousands of people.
When I took the first bite, the locusts were still fluttering wildly in the mouth, bursting out bursts of juice!
That smell.
It's like a lump of some kind of excrement covered in mud and slurry bursting out of the mouth, making people want to retching!
But the mud clogged my throat again, making me unable to spit it out or swallow it.
And the half-dead locusts are still showing their tenacious vitality and are still squirming...
Li Er closed his eyes and took a second bite, completely separating the locust's body into two halves!
In all things in the world, the first step is often the hardest to take.
But when you take the first step.
You will find that the second and third steps are much more difficult than the first step!
At this moment, Li Shimin doesn't know how many steps he has to take...
He was already chewing and swallowing hard, but the locust couldn't chew it.
An indescribable and unbearable taste collided back and forth in his mouth. Li Shimin wanted to spit it out, but he knew——
If you spit it out at this moment, all your previous efforts will be wasted!
So many eyes are watching...
Think about the most difficult time, so much pain, isn't it over now?
Now it's just swallowing a bug alive, what's the big deal? Chew a few more times and it'll be over, it'll be over...
vomit--
Li Shimin used his strong willpower to withstand the turbulent physiological reaction. He closed his mouth and waved to Changsun Wuji beside him.
"Uh-huh!"
he instructed.
"Ah? Your Majesty, what did you say?"
Changsun Wuji wiped his tears, stood up hurriedly and said,
"What do you want?"
"Yeah! Yeah!" Li Shimin waved his hands wildly, pointed behind him, and made a backward movement.
Changsun Wuji was stunned.
He couldn't react at the moment. What exactly did your Majesty want?
Could it be that... it was the locusts that poisoned His Majesty into muteness? So that you can't even speak?
"Um!!!"
Li Shimin's face turned red and his eyes nearly popped out!
He can't stand it anymore!
"I understand! Water, Your Majesty wants water!"
A flash of lightning flashed in Cheng Yaojin's mind and he hurriedly greeted,
"Quick, get some water!"
As soon as he said this, the ministers reacted and hurriedly took the water bag and handed it to Li Shimin's hand.
Gu!
Gu Gu!
Without saying a word, Li Shimin raised the water bag and poured it into his mouth.
With the help of water, swallow hard, and then swallow again!
After four or five consecutive attempts, his swallowing became normal, and he was finally able to make "gudong" and "gudong" sounds when drinking water.
After drinking the entire water bag, the veins on his face and neck relaxed and slowly closed.
"belch!"
"Hiccup...hiccup!"
After a few hiccups, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty finally regained some of his demeanor.
"Your Majesty, are you...are you okay?"
Fang Xuanling asked cautiously,
"This locust, it..."
Li Shimin closed his eyes and waved his hands feebly.
This taste is still in my mouth, and I am afraid I will never forget it in this life...
"I, it's okay."
He slowly opened his eyes and forced a smile,
"It seems that the locusts are not that scary."
"I swallowed it alive and was neither poisoned nor suffered any discomfort."
When all the ministers heard this, they were all moved.
Changsun Wuji wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, knelt on the ground and said loudly:
"Your Majesty! The locust disaster is a natural occurrence. Xu Fenglei, the prince's young master, has already explained our confusion. Locusts are transformed from grasshoppers. They have traces to follow. They are never a disaster caused by God punishing the monarch. !”
"What's more, for an emperor like you who is considerate of the people and puts the people of the world first, how can God punish you?"
"If even such a good emperor is punished, I dare to say something - it must be that God is blind and does not know the wise emperor!"
His words resounded through the clouds, allowing everyone to hear them clearly!
At this moment, no one showed displeasure on their faces, and they all agreed with what Changsun Wuji said.
I would like to ask, from ancient times to the present, which emperor would personally protect farmers and eliminate locusts?
From ancient times to the present, which emperor would eat locusts alive, preferring to suffer himself rather than let the people suffer?
Only Li Shimin!
With such a wise king ruling the world, what else could they be dissatisfied with?
"Long live my emperor, long live the emperor!"
In an instant, the people shouted long live and shouted their most sincere blessings to Li Shimin.
In the past, shouting long live was a slogan.
Now shouting long live, they sincerely wish so!
I would rather be a peace dog than a person in troubled times! To the people, there is a huge difference between a wise king governing a country and a weak king running a chaotic government!
"Get up, please get up."
Li Shimin wiped the dust from his face and sighed softly,
"I don't care what others say. I do all this for no other reason. I just want the country to be peaceful and the people to live and work in peace and contentment!"
"If this is possible, I, Li Shimin, will be willing to die immediately!"
Now that he has suffered all the hardships, he will naturally not let go of this opportunity to make his glorious image the highest and brightest!
Cast until it shines brightly, and is admired by all generations!
vomit--
Suddenly, there was another churn in his stomach. Now, half of his stomach was soaked in water with messy locust remains, and the environment was extremely harsh.
The stomach and intestines are wailing in pain!
"His Majesty--"
Changsun Wuji quickly stepped forward and advised,
"You're tired. The locusts have all fled. Let's go back to the palace first, okay?"
"If you continue to toss this much, I'm afraid of your dragon body..."
Li Shimin covered his mouth, forced down the discomfort, and nodded.
He was about to lift his legs when he suddenly smelled a scent.
That scent is extremely alluring!
From the moment it got into his nose, all the organs and cells in the body began to rebel!
eat!
eat!
eat!
Stop disgusting me, stop disgusting me! I want to eat things that can be eaten by people! Just that scented thing!
Li Shimin took a deep breath, and the scent was already sweeping through his body!
"What smells so good!"
He clenched his fist and said,
"I want to eat!"
Not to mention the physical rebellion, his own consciousness was about to rebel!
After eating something so disgusting, you have to eat something really delicious to eat it down! Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll lose my appetite for three days and three nights...
"Well……"
Changsun Wuji sniffed hard and said to someone with a twitching head,
"Your Majesty, that's where it is!"
“That’s where the scent comes from!”
Li Shimin felt happy and walked away.
"Who is this...did he set up a stall at the city gate?"
While muttering, he quickened his pace again.
Ta da da, da da da!
Close, close!
The fragrance is getting stronger and stronger, and it’s really a bit tickling!
Write to me that you are hungry and go have a midnight snack...
