The next day, Xingqing Palace Qinzheng Hall.

Xuanzong Li Longji was wearing a yellow robe and a purple gold crown on his head, and sat upright on the dragon throne.

After the civil and military officials shouted long live, they were placed on both sides.

Gao Lishi stepped forward and shouted loudly: "If you have something to do, report it early, and if you have nothing to do, you will retreat."

All civil and military officials, look at me, and I look at you, and no one said anything.

Everyone knows that the emperor is in a bad mood recently due to locust plague. Even if he wants to say something, he dare not speak rashly.

Seeing everyone like this, Xuanzong Li Longji was naturally angry and his face darkened, "What, can no one share my worries?"

Grand Secretary Miao Qi went out again and bowed and said, "Emperor, the method of sacrifice has existed since ancient times. Please issue an order as soon as possible to relieve the suffering of the people."

Xuanzong did not answer. Although he was dissatisfied with Miao Qi's opinion, he had an idea at least.

"I'm going to discuss it."

"I'm going to discuss it."

For a moment, more than a dozen ministers stood up one after another.

OK, I want you to say that no one said anything. Now I see someone standing up and they are all busy coming out.

The brief statement is really fast.

Seeing that the emperor did not say anything, Yao Chong knew that the emperor must have had any resistance to the sacrifices, so his chance came.

He bowed and fell to the ground with a plop.

"Emperor Qi, I met someone yesterday and said that there was a way to cure locusts. After the inquiry, I dare not make a decision rashly." When I heard that there was a way to cure locust plague, Xuanzong Li Longji's frown immediately stretched out.

"Who said, where is he? What is his clever method?"

Yao Chongwen thought quietly and said carefully: "Emperor, this person's name is Shen Buyi. I have been taken outside the palace to wait. If the emperor wants to see him, please send someone to call him immediately.

But his method is too vulgar, a humble minister..." "Yao Aiqing, the reason why I have appointed you as prime minister is that I like your selfless and righteous character, why are you hesitant today?"

Xuanzong Li Longji was anxious, you Yao Chong, you should talk quickly.

"Your Majesty, Shen Buyi's method is to eat locusts."

Eat locusts.

As soon as these words came out, the court was silent, and several officials almost burst into laughter.

I was so anxious that I held it hard that my face turned red.

After hearing this, Miao Qi immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you must not. Locusts are envoys sent by God. How can they be killed casually, let alone eaten? Such a bold and reckless person will be punished by God, and will be punished by God."

Emperor Xuanzong was disappointed when he heard Yao Chong say he was eating locusts. This method was still far from his expectations.

However, Miao Qi's words changed his mind.

Turning his face to look at Gao Lishi, "Let's go."

"Retreat the court."

Gao Lishi shouted.

The civil and military officials in the hall immediately dispersed in a hurry.

It’s okay to stay high, it’s better to stay away from it.

"Your Majesty, I can't eat it, I can't eat it!"

Miao Qi still shouted loudly.

Li Longji glanced at Miao Qi, "Miao Aiqing, come to Nanxun Palace to wait."

Miao Qi didn't dare to say anything more, so he got the order and left.

"Yao Aiqing, go and bring Shen Buyi. I will meet him in person."

After saying that, he left with a shook his sleeves.

After walking out of Qinzheng Hall, Xuanzong Li Longji did not go directly to Nanxun Hall.

After all, it is still a bit far from outside the palace to Nanxun Palace.

It will take some time for Yao Chong to bring people back from the palace.

"Gao Lishi, what do you think of Yao Chong?"

Facing this problem of Xuanzong Li Longji, Gao Lishi was obviously a little surprised.

After pondering for a while, he bowed and said, "Emperor, Prime Minister Yao is worried about the country and the people. He can share your worries and be an example for all officials."

"No, I'm asking you, I've given the emperor's list and said that anyone who can cure locust plagues will be rewarded.

Why did Yao Chong recommend others?”

Gao Lishiba was so clever that he naturally understood Yao Chong's intention. Obviously, Yao Chong might not agree with this method.

Therefore, a stranger came.

However, these words can only be understood, but they cannot be said.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Yao can bring one of his three sons here. He said that his son came up with it and would naturally receive your reward, but Prime Minister Yao recommended others.

This kind of nepotism is really valuable and respectable."

After hearing Gao Lishi's words, Xuanzong didn't say anything for a long time. After a long time, he slowly looked up at the sky. It was already bright and it was another sunny day.

It was already late summer, but the sun was still hot. Thinking of the people who were suffering from locust plague, Xuanzong Li Longji felt like a needle in his heart.

In the Lizheng Hall of Tai Chi Palace, Queen Wang leaned lazily against the window, staring at the rockery in the garden in front of her in a daze.

Yesterday, an eunuch sent a message saying that the emperor would rest in Nanxun Palace tonight.

This was the fifth day. The emperor did not go to any concubine to spend the night, but slept alone in Nanxun Palace, indicating that the locust plague has made Emperor Xuanzong unable to sleep or eat.

As a woman who has accompanied the emperor all the way from the King of Linzi, Queen Wang obviously understands Emperor Xuanzong's thoughts more.

"Qi Bi, Princess Zhaoning is here."

There was a palace maid who served him kneeled down to report.

Princess Zhaoning was not Queen Wang’s own birth. Zhaoning’s biological mother died early, and it was Queen Wang who kept her by her side to raise her.

Therefore, the relationship between the two is like a biological mother and daughter.

"Let her come in."

Queen Wang waved her hand and stood up with the help of the palace maids.

Princess Zhaoning has a willow leaf with round eyebrows and apricot eyes, a pink and tender face, and two dimples when she smiles.

It has a bit of a girlish beauty and a hint of royal noble temperament.

When people saw it, they couldn't help but feel a sense of love.

"The child pays homage to the queen of mother."

As soon as they met, Zhaoning knelt down obediently and bowed.

"Good boy, come here quickly and let Wei Niang see if she has lost weight recently."

Zhaoning smiled slightly.

"Mother, I came yesterday. Even if I lost weight, I could tell where I could see it."

The mother and daughter smiled at each other.

At this moment, another palace maid hurriedly ran in.

"Qi Bi Empress, Zhang Fang, the concubine who had just entered the palace, was looking for a meeting outside."

"Zhang Fang?"

Queen Wang was stunned.

"Hey, if she hadn't come, I'd forgotten that the emperor had accepted several new concubines this year, and they often came and went with others. This is the first time this Concubine Zhang has come here."

"My mother, since it's the first time I'm here, I guess there must be something important, so I'd better meet you as soon as possible."

Zhaoning blinked his eyes and advised softly.

Queen Wang naturally understood, "Go and let her in."

When Zhang Fang saw Queen Wang, she immediately knelt down and kowtowed without saying a word.

"Zhang Fang, the Concubine, pays homage to the Queen, Qiansui, Qiansui, Qiansui."

"Okay, Concubine Zhang, there are no outsiders here, get up and talk."

"Empress, I have something to do in my family and I have no idea for a moment. I will come and ask for instructions from the empress."
