Fourth Lord's Black Moonlight Queen

Chapter 800 You Didn't Make a Mistake, Why Admit It

"Dog slave, come back, I allow you to go?"

Su Peisheng shrunk his neck, and at this moment, he was right when he heard sister Jingui's words, so he slipped away.

"My lord, this locust can be eaten. You are not the first emperor to eat locusts."

Li Jingui proudly took a seat far away from Fourth Master.Immediately, he raised his chopsticks, quickly picked up one of the fried locusts on the plate, and stuffed it into his mouth with lightning speed and jingle bells before Si Ye could stop him.

"Nonsense, don't eat this dirty thing!"

Yin quickly rushed to Jingui, only to see that she had backed away, and immediately snarled provocatively.

Furious, Yinzhen was worried and angry at the same time, his face was a little ferocious and distorted.

"Come here, come here, remove all these dishes!"

"Upload the imperial doctor immediately!"

Li Jingui stood in front of the door to see who could come in.

"My lord, these locusts can be used as medicine, and during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin even ate raw locusts."

"Besides, the concubine has already removed the wings of the locusts, and after scalding them with boiling water, the locusts will excrete feces before they are fried!"

"Add chili, onion and garlic, and add a little salt. What a delicious and nutritious dish to accompany wine. The concubine worked hard for several days before the experiment was successful."

Why did fourth master not cherish the dishes she prepared so carefully, and throw them away as soon as he said they wanted to, but she didn't.

"My lord, the court has been busy with the locust plague these days, and my concubines also want to do their bit for the victims."

After the locusts passed, the land was barren for thousands of miles, there was no harvest, the hungry people rebelled, and there was turmoil.

Nine times out of ten, locust plagues will appear after the drought. After the grass roots and bark are eaten clean, people will eat people.

In remote and ignorant places, in order to survive, some women and children were even tied up and taken to the market to be slaughtered like cattle and sheep, and they were called "vegetable people".

"You want the people to catch locusts to satisfy their hunger?"

Yinzhen shook his head lightly, not wanting to discourage her good intentions, but she thought this matter too simply.

"Why can't you eat it? Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty dared to eat locusts, which means that the locusts are not poisonous, so why don't the people use locusts to satisfy their hunger?"

"You can also follow the example of Tang Taizong. He hated these locusts that eat the people's food, so he grabbed a few and swallowed them raw, saying, "If you want to eat, eat my heart, don't eat the people's food. "

Fourth master can win the hearts of a group of people because of this, so why not do it.

"Jingui, it's not as simple as you think. Locusts have been regarded as locust gods by the people since ancient times. Although they are pests, they have a very high status."

"Just like the dog eclipsing the sun, the plague of locusts is like a warning from heaven. People would rather place their hopes on setting up altars and offer sacrifices to heaven than to offend the gods, and they would not even dare to capture and drive locusts unless it was absolutely necessary. Don't talk about eating."

"Some emperors throughout the ages thought it was their own virtue, so they confessed their mistakes to heaven and issued an edict of guilt."

According to Fourth Master's intention, he also wants to issue an edict of guilt to comfort God?What nonsense, the locust plague is a natural disaster, what's wrong with fourth master!

"Master, you are not wrong, why do you bow your head and admit your mistake?"

Li Jingui was noncommittal to Fourth Master's absurd ideas, she couldn't see him bowing his head and admitting his wrongdoing, let alone admitting his mistake because of a natural disaster, how could Fourth Master be guilty?

"Let's think about it again, there must be a solution, sir, don't worry."

Li Jingui anxiously bit his fingers and wandered back and forth in the hall, what to do, he didn't want Fourth Master to be taken advantage of and blame him for all crimes.
