"Li Gang, you disappointed me too much!"

The emperor said coldly.

Li Gang stood there and resigned, refusing to admit his mistake and bowed his head.

At this time, the other prime ministers saw the atmosphere tense, and they all came to persuade them.

"Anything is wrong, you have to leave?" Luo Cheng sneered. Luo Cheng still respected Li Gang in the past, thinking that this person has a good moral character and can be the prince's teacher. After all, the prince is the future emperor, and the prince needs good moral character, and it doesn't matter if he has good moral character, but as long as his moral character is good, he can take over the team.

But now it seems that Li Gang is not good either, and he also has a lot of selfishness. His biggest selfishness is that he has the desire to transform the emperor, just like those Confucian scholars since the Han Dynasty, but his own talents are not good, but he always thinks that his own is right.

The emperor did not accept his transformation, so he would pile up his picks and leave.

He really felt that he had seen through Li Gang.

"You want to resign, I will not allow it."

Li Gang said, "I cannot advise Your Majesty, please resign."

"Okay, okay, okay." The emperor said three good words in a row, but still had not accepted his resignation. "I don't allow you to resign. I think you are indeed not qualified to serve as the Grand Secretary and the Crown Prince. I will dismiss your position now."

There is not a big difference between resignation and dismissal.

If the emperor allowed Li Gang to resign, even if he retired, he would still be able to enjoy the treatment of the prime minister before resignation, but it would be different if he was dismissed.

"I demoted you to the magistrate of Yanshi County, the eighth rank."

Li Gang's face was pale, and he really didn't leave any affection. He was originally a Grand Secretary of the Dongge, and he was the second-rank rank or the noble Prince Zhan Shi Crown Jun's army. But now he was demoted to the eighth-rank rank green robe, and he couldn't even wear green robe.

As for the title, of course, it was also taken away.

"You go to Yanshi and assist the county magistrate in digging locust eggs and preparing for disasters and famines. Don't sing any high-profile talks with me. Do something practical in the face of a major disaster."

"Old minister Li Gang, receive the order to thank you."

Li Gang was also stubborn. Originally, the prime minister's resignation had to be signed by the prefects. If he admits a mistake, the prime ministers would help him say something good, and the matter might be over.

But now he received the order to thank him directly. He took off the three liang Jinxian crown on his head, untied the thirteen golden jade belts on his waist, took off the purple robe, and finally placed his jade scepter on the table, even the golden crane talisman and the golden crane bag were taken down on the table.

He wore a white middle robe and bowed to the emperor with his head bare head and said goodbye to the emperor.

Seeing his stubborn look, Luo Cheng was too lazy to persuade him again.

"Feng Lishi, send County Chief Li out of the palace on my behalf."

Feng Lishi helped Li Gang out of the hall. In front of the hall, Feng Lishi said kindly, "Why should Mr. Li be so arrogant? I know you are kind to give advice, but it is not such a way to advise you. Besides, what I was going to discuss today was how to prevent disasters and prepare for famines. You are so good. As soon as you come up, you will give Your Majesty this. You are not unaware of Your Majesty's temper. It's too unworthy of your doing this."

In fact, when Li Gang walked out of the hall, he felt a little regretful. It was not that he was too attached to the power of the country, but that he felt that he was too irresponsible for his departure.

I am afraid that if I leave in the future, there will be even fewer people in Xuanzheng Hall who can advise the emperor. Who else can speak out like me? The stubborn emperor is afraid that he will do whatever he wants.

"Hey, thank you Mr. Feng, please come back."

Feng Lishi could only shake his head, waved to call two Qianniu Guards, and asked them to send Li Gang out of the palace.

"Old Li, when you arrive in Yanshi, be pragmatic and hurry up to prevent disasters and prepare for famines. As long as the locust plague passes, if Yanshi has good disaster prevention results, His Majesty will definitely restore Old Official Li to his post."

Li Gang walked down the steps silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

Feng Lishi looked at his bleak back, just sighed, and turned back to the hall.

In the hall.

Grand Secretary Yu Shinan was suggesting to the emperor, "Since Emperor Guangwu of the Later Han Dynasty, whenever he encountered a locust plague, he would worship the locust god and rely on the gods to solve the locust plague."

Luo Cheng was very disdainful of the proposal of this famous contemporary calligrapher.

"Zi Buyu's words are strange powers and gods. How can there be any locust gods and insect kings in this world? When I was rectifying the world's lust temples a few years ago, I asked someone to demolish all the locust temples and insect kings. Is it useful for people to worship the locust gods when they encounter locust plagues? The end of the locust plague is not because the locust gods have played a role, but because the time comes, the locusts will die. After the locust hatch, they can live for a few months. Whether they worship or not, they will die. The key is whether they can minimize the losses in these few months. The locust gods cannot!"

When the locust god asks for a few months, the locust plague will end. It is not because they ask for the locusts for credit, but because they only have such a long growth cycle.

"Instead of asking for the Locust God and the King of Warriors, it is better to organize people to dig locust eggs. This will also kill a large number of locusts in advance and reduce the number of locusts. After the eggs that have leaked the net hatch, they should find a way to hunt them again while they can't fly. Mobilize all the people and do something real."

"Your Majesty, you must not. I think it is impossible to encounter a major locust plague in a century. It may be because our dynasty destroyed the Locust Temple. I also asked Your Majesty to issue an edict to order all counties and counties to immediately restore the construction of the Locust Temple, and re-brand the statues of the Locust Gods, and provide incense!"

Luo Cheng couldn't help but pat on the table again.

He felt that Yu Shinan was just like Li Gang, who deliberately pretended to be confused, but he didn't believe that Yu Shinan, the most famous calligraphy master in the contemporary era and the master of writing and poetry, could such a famous family really believe in the locust god.

"Yu Shinan, you also disappointed me."

Yu Shinan dared not refute.

"It is not the season for locust hatching, but it is not far away. We have to increase the reserve of grain while going to places where drought and locust plagues may occur, and at the same time we need to start digging locust eggs. The court clearly ordered local counties and counties to take action and organize the people to dig locust eggs, and organize ploughing in places where eggs are prone to laying."

Digging eggs can kill locusts, and plowing can also kill many locust eggs.

"The people can feed the locust eggs, and they can also get them to the government for exchange. One pound of locust eggs is exchanged for three pounds of grain, and the government can exchange as much as the government can."

Chu Liang came out to object, believing that there was no such useless thing in the court? After all, there will be droughts in places with locust plagues. Food is precious and must be kept for disaster relief.

"Since that's the case, I asked the royal family to use the money from the treasury to purchase grain from other places, and then go to the disaster site to purchase locust eggs. One pound of locust eggs will be exchanged for three pounds of grain, and you will exchange as much as you have! I will never go back on my word."
