These few words made Queen Wang feel much more relieved. As the queen, she naturally had to command the harem.

Now that Zhang Fang has something to report to her, it means that she still respects herself in her heart.

"Oh, but it doesn't matter. I'm a little older than you, and I'm proud of myself and have seen some worldly things."

If you mean it, you'll be right to ask me for advice.

"Empress, I have a younger brother named Zhang Zijing, who has lived in Chang County for a long time. I heard that the emperor had a bill to find someone who could cure locust plagues. Zijing's younger brother rushed to Chang'an City overnight and asked me to pass it on to the emperor, saying that he had a way to cure locusts."

When Queen Wang heard this, her eyes lit up.

"What did you say?

How to cure locusts?”

“That’s right.

My younger brother’s method is to catch it and eat it.”

Eat... Queen Wang was stunned for a moment.

The little mood that was about to take off fell down instantly.

"This is the first time I have heard of this method.

But since ancient times, it has been said that locusts were sent by God. Wouldn't they be punished by God if they eat them?"

Princess Zhaoning, who had been beside her, spoke, "Mother, I heard that in the years of famine, people eat people from time to time. In the eyes of children, eating locusts is not an exaggeration in extraordinary times."

"Okay, it's not an exaggeration to say it well."

Queen Wang suddenly became excited.

Turning his face to look at Zhang Fang.

"Where is your brother?"

"Go back to the queen, I have already asked him to wait outside the Tai Chi Palace."

Very good, Queen Wang nodded in praise. This Concubine Zhang has just arrived for a long time but knows a lot of rules.

"Zhang Jieyu, you are also a famous person. Don't call yourself a slave in the future, otherwise, if the emperor blames you, I will be punished without precepts."

The emperor was worried about the matter of curing locusts. Now he had a method. No matter whether it could be adopted or not, he would always try it.

She was a decisive woman, and immediately took a few people and headed straight to Xingqing Palace.

Yao Chong walked out of Xingqing Palace and saw Shen Buyi leaning against the corner of the wall at a glance.

"Young Master Shen, hurry up, come with me, the emperor wants to summon you."

The Emperor wants to summon me.

Shen Buyi's mood flew up.

It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I wanted to leverage the Yao family, but I didn't expect that Yao Chong, a cunning person, was timid and afraid of things, actually pushed himself forward.

The opportunity has come, you must seize it in your hands.

After tidying up his clothes, he followed Yao Chong and walked in.

The imperial guards on duty stopped him and searched Shen Buyi from top to bottom.

He actually found two wooden boxes more than three inches long and opened them. One of them contained several fried locusts, and the other inside was actually filled with living locusts.

"What is this?"

The Imperial Guard was also a little dumbfounded. According to regulations, it was not allowed to see the emperor with weapons, but it was not said that he was not allowed to bring locusts.

Shen Buyi pointed to his head, "June, I have an affliction disease, this is medicine, medicine."

medicine?

The imperial guards were confused, but they had to put the person in.

Nanxun Palace is mainly a place where Emperor Xuanzong rests. On the outside, a study room was set up, which became a common place for Xuanzong to meet ministers and handle affairs in a small area.

Miao Qi waited outside the study early. When he saw Emperor Xuanzong arrive, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

And there, Yao Chong also arrived in a hurry with Shen Buyi.

"The grass man Shen Buyi, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"Get up."

Xuanzong waved his hand and turned into the study.

When he walked into the imperial study room, Chen Buyi looked around, but couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

I often watch TV. The emperor's study is spacious and generous, filled with all kinds of rare things.

The study of Emperor Xuanzong seemed a little shabby, and the mahogany tables and chairs were quite classy, ​​but there were almost no other decorations except for a few simple decorations in the surrounding area.

What's more, the space is too small, not even half of Yao Yi's study room.

I have to say that there is a reason why Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty Li Longji was able to create the Kaiyuan prosperous era.

Emperor Xuanzong sat down behind the desk and slowly asked, "Shen Bu Yi, I heard that you have a way to cure locusts, let me tell you."

Chen Buyi thumped and fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty, the method of Xiaomin is very simple, that is, eat."

"Oh, let's hear how to eat it."

When Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji saw that he was neither easy nor humble nor arrogant, he was not nervous at all, and he felt a little more affection for this young man.

Chen Buyi carefully took out a wooden box and raised it respectfully over his head.

"Your Majesty, these are locusts that the grass people fry at home. Please taste them."

"Dou, bold and unruly people," Gao Lishi scolded.

"The emperor is a body of gold, how can he eat whatever you bring?"

Emperor Xuanzong waved his hand.

"Okay, he doesn't understand the rules in the palace."

Seeing that the emperor had no intention of tasting it, Chen Buyi was not in a hurry, so he took out another wooden box.

"Your Majesty, there are a few living locusts here. The method of making them has been written by the grass people. You can ask the imperial kitchen to fry it and send it to you."

It was almost the same. Gao Lishi came forward, took the wooden box, and placed it on the imperial case.

Emperor Xuanzong looked at it and said nothing.

Miao Qi, who was beside him, felt secretly happy and bowed to him and said, "Your Majesty, you must not eat, you cannot eat."

"Oh, then tell me, how can I not eat it?

Then how should we cure locusts?”

Xuanzong Li Longji looked at Miao Qi, and then looked at Chen Buyi.

Gao Lishi, who was waiting beside him, saw the clues.

The emperor intends to take the exam to get worse. If this kid can pass the emperor's test, he will have a prosperous future.

This person needs to make friends.

Miao Qi is naturally still playing again in the old tune.

"I am the envoy sent by God, so I should not hurt it, let alone eat it. Since ancient times, the strategy of controlling locusts is to set up an altar and sacrifice, and ask God to take back the envoys, so that the people can safeguard the peace."

Emperor Xuanzong could not refuse and turned his face to look at Chen Buyi.

"Shen Buyi, what do you want to say?"

Chen Buyi also understood that the emperor wanted to debate with Miao Qi.

Cleared his throat, straightened his body, and said loudly: "Master, what this lord said makes sense, but it is not completely correct."

This is Shen Buyi's cleverness, and it does not completely deny Miao Qi's view. Relatively speaking, it reduces Miao Qi's hostility towards himself.

This statement also made Emperor Xuanzong nod secretly. This is indeed not simple.

"I would like to ask Prime Minister Yao, you sent a servant to do things and did bad things in the middle. Does Mr. Yao have the right to punish him?"

Yao Chong replied immediately without thinking, "Of course there is this."

"Your Majesty, Xiaomin dares to ask, what do you think?"

When Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji heard this novel question, he became more interested in Chen Buyi. "Well, Yao Aiqing is right, so he naturally has the right to punish him."

"That same truth, Your Majesty, you are the son of God. The locusts are just servants sent by God. If the servant does something wrong, you are the master, so you can beat them and scold them."
