Chapter 8
After all, controlling locusts has always been a difficult problem.

These experienced and well-read old ministers have no good way, let alone Cheng Yu, a dude!

After Qin Qiong heard Changsun Wuji's words, he also understood his plan and knew that Cheng Yu was in a dilemma at this moment.

In this case, the only option is to bite the bullet and admit that the words were said by oneself, and only say that it is one's own words.

In this way, even if His Majesty committed a crime, it was just a few dozen boards. Cheng Yu is young, and he will be fine after a few days of recovery.

If he was impulsive and really said that he knew how to govern, then it would be the crime of deceiving the emperor, and he would lose his head!
Thinking of this, Qin Qiong took two steps forward under pressure!
"Your Majesty, Cheng Yushi is a young man who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and speaks outrageous words. Please forgive me..."

"I do know how to control locusts!"

Before Qin Qiong finished speaking, Cheng Yu spoke calmly.

"You, Cheng Yu, are you crazy? You don't think about yourself, you also think about your father. Do you really want him to lose his son at such an old age?" Qin Qiong said anxiously Said in Cheng Yu's ear.

After Changsun Wuji heard this, he immediately became happy.

This was the result he wanted to see the most, and he knew that Cheng Yu must be impatient and wanted to show off.

He has agreed to it now, but if he can't solve it by then, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor!
At that time, even if the emperor did not kill him for Cheng Yaojin's sake, he would no longer be able to enter the court.

Even Cheng Yaojin's status in the court must be much worse than before, killing two birds with one stone, killing two birds with one stone!
I am so powerful, so wise.

Boy, this is the end of the fight between you and me. The hair on the tiger's buttocks is not so easy to pluck!

At this moment, Li Shimin looked at Cheng Yu and said with searching eyes.

"Cheng Yushi, this is not a joke. You can't talk nonsense. Do you really know how to control locusts?"

"Your Majesty, how dare I speak nonsense in front of the Son of Heaven! I do know how to control locusts!" Cheng Yu replied calmly.

Changsun Wuji hummed softly in his heart.

Just blow it up, let me see how big you can blow it up.

"Oh? Then tell me, if you can really help me and solve this serious problem, I will definitely reward you a lot!" Li Shimin said excitedly.

"Your Majesty, before answering your question, I would like to ask you a question!" Cheng Yu said.

"Okay, you ask!" Li Shimin said.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, do you know what people in the world think of this locust plague?"

As soon as Cheng Yu said these words, all the ministers took another breath of cold air.

Of course, they had heard about this rumor.

But no one dared to say a word in front of His Majesty.

Because those words were too sharp, directly piercing His Majesty's lungs, I don't know how angry he would be when he heard it.

And hearing what Cheng Yu meant, he actually wanted to say these words in front of so many ministers in the court?
Is he really desperate?
"If you say that, I'm interested. It's the duty of the emperor to know the public opinion. Come and listen to me!" Li Shimin asked with interest.

"Your Majesty, it is said that this plague of locusts is caused by your lack of virtue and ethics!"

As Cheng Yu said these words word by word, Li Shimin's face gradually became very ugly.

The ministers present were also so shocked that they broke into cold sweat.

They expected Cheng Yu to be careless, but they didn't expect him to be so bold.

To say this so bluntly, without mercy!

They are ready for Li Shimin's next storm.

But Li Shimin remained silent for a long time. The ministers secretly raised their heads and looked at the dragon chair, wanting to confirm whether the emperor had fainted from anger.

Li Shimin's face was livid at the moment, as if he was trying his best to suppress his anger.

"Bold, Cheng Yu, you really don't know what's good or bad, and you're pushing your limits. What do you mean by saying this? Are you questioning His Majesty's dignity as the emperor? I think you have evil intentions and want to disturb the court!" Changsun Wuji pointed at Cheng Yu roared.

Seeing the way his eyes were about to burst into flames, I didn't know that I thought Cheng Yu was talking about him.

But Cheng Yu knew in his heart that he did it on purpose and wanted to make the emperor angry at him.

He said to Changsun Wuji without any panic.

"My lord grandson, it seems that the fifty boards just now have no effect. Your Majesty hasn't said anything yet? You jumped out!

Has His Majesty authorized you to be the spokesperson? "

【Ding!The host said to Changsun Wuji, points +10! 】

"Cheng Yu, don't go too far!" Changsun Wuji said angrily incompetently.

However, Cheng Yu ignored him and continued to turn to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, I know these words, you will feel very uncomfortable when you hear them, but we can't control our mouths on other people.

A sage said well that in this world, the most difficult thing to control is the human heart, and as the emperor of the dynasty, only by winning the people's hearts can he truly win the world.

The reason why I say this to you today is not to make you unhappy, but to tell you that not only do I have a way to solve this locust plague, but I also have a way to change your image in the hearts of the people through this matter.

Turn this bad thing into something good! "Cheng Yu continued to speak calmly as if he didn't see Li Shimin's ugly face.

However, after hearing what he said later, Li Shimin's expression did ease a lot. He had held the dragon chair tightly before, and then slowly let go.

"go on!"

"Your Majesty, don't listen to Cheng Yu's bewitching words, he..." Changsun Wuji was interrupted by Li Shimin in the middle of speaking.

"Qi Guogong! Are you talking too much?"

Seeing Li Shimin's face, Changsun Wuji quickly shut up obediently.

Cheng Yu glanced at his back and thought, it's time to suffer!
He continued.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that you release a message immediately, explaining that tomorrow you will go to the farmland in person to check the locust plague, and at the same time give the people a solution!
This can show that you are close to the people and considerate of them, and it can also increase your prestige. This rumor will be self-defeating! "

After Cheng Yu finished speaking, before Li Shimin could speak, Fang Xuanling said.

"Cheng Yushi, after talking for a long time, you still haven't said how to solve this locust plague!
Also, will your Majesty stop talking about these rumors? "
