Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 34 I will prove it to you

[What, the habit of locust larvae, it seems that they can be easily found by digging a hole on the edge of the field now. 】

[At this time, the locust larvae should have no wings, and they are the fattest and tender, so they are perfect for eating. 】

[Go back and try it out, but I can't talk about it, and the old idiot might not be able to listen to it, but what's going on right now? 】

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, but Zhao Yi's old idiot made Ying Zheng angry again in an instant.

The old guy has turned into an old fool. This traitor will not give up until I am angry to death. However, Ying Zheng has no way to punish Zhao Yi now, so he can only hold back his anger.

Nizi, you haven't told me, how do you know that I won't listen, I'm an idiot, so what are you?
Ying Zheng couldn't help but complain about Zhao Yi, but Zhao Yi was not as capable as him and was still racking his brains on how to fool Ying Zheng.

Mrs. Qiongzhi was at the side, seeing that her son couldn't even fart for a long time, she was anxious, so she had to help her.

"Your Majesty's dream must be an auspicious omen. I think the flying insects should be the auspiciousness given to Your Majesty by God, which symbolizes that my Daqin will definitely have a good harvest this year!"

Ying Zheng wanted to frown, but he had to force a wry smile.

What auspiciousness, it's locusts, I don't know how a rebellious son like Zhao Yi was born in the eyes of a woman, I'm afraid these two women will offend me today!
Ying Zheng had already obtained useful information from Zhao Yi, and he didn't want to stay here for a long time. If he stayed for a long time, Ying Zheng didn't know if his life would be shortened because of it.

"Okay, it's getting late, and I still have government affairs to deal with. You two, please talk to me."

With that said, Ying Zheng stood tall and walked out. Mrs. Qiongzhi quickly grabbed Zhao Yi who hadn't recovered, and respectfully sent Ying Zheng out of the door of her bedroom.

[I'm going, this old idiot is finally gone, grandma has a leg, it seems that you will have to enter the palace less in the future, as long as you meet this old idiot, nothing good will happen! 】

[Fortunately, he just asked casually. If he really pressed the question, he really wouldn’t know how to answer. 】

Before Ying Zheng could walk far, Zhao Yi kept hearing his complaints, and Ying Zheng's fists turned blue in his sleeves.

Old idiot, old bastard, this rebel...

Ying Zheng really wanted to turn back now and beat Zhao Yi up like this, but when he thought about the locust plague, he loosened his fist again.

Forget it, the business is important, keep these things in mind for now, and sooner or later, I will teach this rebellious son a lesson!

Back in the imperial study, Ying Zheng couldn't wait to call the important officials of the court into the palace, and told about the locusts.

Zhao Gao was full of surprise, "Your Majesty, is the news conclusive? Why don't I know anything about it?"

Li Si also frowned deeply, "Your Majesty, there was no news of locust plagues in the recent memorial in Guanzhong. How did you know that there will be locust plagues?"

Feng Quji was confused. He wanted to say something but realized that Zhao Gao and Li Si had already said it, so he simply remained silent.

The rest of the generals are rough and rough, and they only know a little about farming, but they don't take Ying Zheng's words very seriously.

Ying Zheng looked at the expressions of the important officials in the court that he relied on, and suddenly felt very ridiculous.

"I just said that the locust plague will appear in a month or two at the earliest, and now is the best time to prevent it."

"Your Majesty!" General Yang Duanhe came out. He was a farmer and knew some common sense about locust plagues. Hearing what Yingzheng said seriously, he couldn't help asking: "You said that there will be locust plagues in a month or two. , Then why do you know now, Your Majesty?"

Only then did the ministers realize the problem in Ying Zheng's words. How would they know what happened a month or two later?
After all, in this era, unless there is a foretelling or fortune-telling, it is impossible to make accurate predictions like future events.

Therefore, the ministers all thought that Ying Zheng's words were alarmist, and then heard Yang Duanhe's words go straight to the ground, and they all wanted to laugh but dared not laugh, but some of the generals couldn't hold back their laughter.

Ying Zheng glared viciously at Qiang Yan, who laughed the loudest among the generals, "Do you think I'm joking?"

Hiss... Seeing Ying Zheng's livid face, the faces of the officials changed instantly, and Yang Duanhe and Qiang Li were also respectful.

Everyone knew Ying Zheng's temper. Although he wouldn't say that they would kill them at will, there would definitely be punishments like slapping their backs.

"It seems that you really think so." Ying Zheng frowned, feeling quite helpless.

But he knew that this was not the fault of the ministers. In fact, Yingzheng himself did not have any concrete evidence right now. It was indeed too far-fetched to convince these ministers that there would be a plague of locusts in a month or two.

Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Li Si took the initiative to step forward and said, "Your Majesty, if there is no evidence in this matter, I really can't believe it."

Feng Quji also echoed: "That's true, Your Majesty, the food news in the Guanzhong area, I have always been very concerned about it."

"Recently, the news from Guanzhong has been reported almost three times a day, and there has never been any report about the locust plague."

"Since your majesty said that there will be locust plagues in the Guanzhong area, then I would like to ask your majesty, is there any conclusive evidence?"

Upon hearing Feng Quji's words, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up and he stood up, "You need evidence, okay? I'll prove it to you guys!"

With that said, Ying Zheng stepped forward and walked directly outside. The ministers hesitated for a moment and then followed him.

Although it was almost nightfall at this time, Ying Zheng's action was an order, and all the ministers followed Ying Zheng one after another, all the way to Huangzhuang outside the city.

When everyone came to a field ridge, the imperial guards had already illuminated the surrounding area with torches like daylight, then Ying Zheng pointed to the field ridge in front of him, and shouted at Yang Duanhe and Qiang Li: "Just you two, come here and clear this place. Dig up!"

"Ah?" Yang Duanhe and Qiang Li were dumbfounded, "Why does Your Majesty want me to dig the soil? There are so many guards over there..."

"Shut up!" Ying Zheng yelled: "If the locusts are really dug out at this time, if the guards leak the news, what will happen, do I need to tell you?"

After Yingzheng learned a lesson, Yang Duanhe and Qiang Li didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, but they all thought that this was Yingzheng's revenge for their laughter in the imperial study, so they could only dig the ground honestly.

Seeing this scene, Li Si and Feng Quji finally frowned.

Although he still didn't believe it in his heart, Ying Zheng's locust said.

But they were very curious, where did Ying Zheng get the confidence to believe that there would be a plague of locusts in Guanzhong?
If Yang Duanhe and Qiang Li hadn't dug out the locusts, what would have happened today?

And just when Li Si and Feng Quji were puzzled, there was a sudden exclamation in front of them, which attracted their attention...
