Chapter 30: Destroying Locusts (2)

"Last night, I met my ancestor Xiaogong in my dream." Great politicians all have the talent for acting. Ying Zheng's face did not blush and his heart did not beat when he lied. "Xiaogong told me that he was heartbroken when he saw locusts storm over the Qin State and was heartbroken, so he appeared in my dream and taught me how to deal with locust plagues."

In the court, the ministers listened to Ying Zheng telling his dream, and looked fascinated. Some people were suspicious, but they dared not express it. Ying Zheng said that he had dreamed of Duke Xiao, and besides himself, who else could prove that he was making a fool of himself?

Who is Qin Xiaogong? That is Comrade Xiaoping in the history of Qin. It was when Qin Xiaogong was in power that he valued Shang Yang and deepened reforms, which made Qin embark on the fast track of rapid development. The Qin people loved Qin Xiaogong's feelings, which was no less than the wealthy Chinese people's deep affection. Although Xiaogong was no longer there, he lived in the hearts of all Qin people. When Qin was facing a crisis, it would make sense to send a dream to the current Qin king.

"What is the way that Duke Xiao teaches the king?" Wang Wan straightened her body, with an excited expression, and her eyes were full of expectations. How talented and wise Duke Xiao was? He appeared in Ying Zheng's dream. Isn't that saying that Ying Zheng was recognized by Duke Xiao. There are many ministers with similar thoughts, which invisibly increased Ying Zheng's status in their minds.

"Duke Xiao told me that locusts are actually the best food. Locusts eat up all the crops. When food is short, they can fill their hunger......" He took out the name of Xiaogong and shining with the holy light, Ying Zheng felt the subtle changes in the eyes of the ministers and his confidence was even more full. Meng Tian said it right. Out of weakness, he had to seize every opportunity to build momentum for himself, even if he was a dead person, there was nothing.

"Are you talking nonsense? Can locusts be eaten?" Before Ying Zheng finished speaking, Chen Zhong, the Xianyang Order who had already defected to Lu Buwei, was the first to jump out to question. Xiao Gong asked for a dream, and Chen Zhong could not tell the truth, but what Ying Zheng said seemed very ridiculous, and Chen Zhong could no longer sit still.

"Can locusts be eaten?"

"Mr. Xiao said he could eat it, but I think he could eat it."

······

In the hall, the ministers whispered to each other. It was the first time they heard that locusts could eat.

"Meng Tian, ​​let all adults taste the taste of locusts flying." Ying Zheng sneered in his heart. Chen Zhong didn't understand that without investigation, there would be no right to speak. I will remember you and let you eat locusts every day in the future.

Before going to court, Meng Tian carefully prepared a locust meal, named Feilu Tengda. Without pepper seasoning, Meng Tian used all his skills to use the fine spices in the palace to make Feilu Tengda, a five-star chef in later generations.

Two eunuchs carried the table and placed it in the center of the big shop. Li Bi gently placed the bronze tripod in his hand in the middle of the table. When the ministers looked at him, Meng Tian picked up the cover of the tripod, and a crispy smell spread. As long as he smelled the smell, many people were already spitting.

"Sir, who will come first?"

Meng Tian's eyes looked like a smile, and swept over the ministers in the hall, and finally fell on Chen Zhong, the commander of Xianyang.

"Before I went to court, I had breakfast. Now I'm not hungry, I'm really not hungry!" Chen Zhong secretly looked into the cauldron. The dense locusts piled up like hills. When the breeze blew, the chunks of feet seemed to shake in the air. Thinking of the locusts crawling in their bodies, Chen Zhong's face was pale and his stomach was stormy. If it weren't for the solemn court, he would have rushed out and hugged a tree, and vomited a lot.

"Xianyang is not blessed. If you can't enjoy such delicious food, please come first!" Meng Ao smiled contemptuously. The people Lu Buwei used were too literary, but they were just locusts. If you see the broken limbs, you may be scared to a coma. Ministers at the center of the country still need to see the bloody battlefield, otherwise the country will lose courage. Meng Ao was born as a soldier and had never experienced any hard life. When food was short of food, when hunger hits, he would eat whatever he caught. "Well, it tastes good!" Meng Ao picked up a locust, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it carefully. The locust has no bones, its flesh is soft, and it doesn't require any effort. It almost melts in the mouth. Meng Ao's teeth fell off a lot. The surviving teeth did not take much effort, and they simply solved the delicious locusts at the mouth.

"I'll try it too!"

People often have a herd mentality. As long as someone takes the first step, the people behind him will not be so frightened. After Meng Ao tasted the locusts, Wang Wan and others who had experienced military experiences came forward one by one, lined up to taste the locust feast given by Ying Zheng.

"Hey, the taste is so fresh!"

"It's really a locust that cannot be looked at!"

"Prime Minister, you can try one too!" After Zhang Tang finished his taste, he licked his mouth and did not forget to show his charm to Lu Buwei, who was sitting firmly.

In front of everyone, even if Lu Buwei was unhappy, he could only try one reluctantly. However, after he heard that, a hint of invisible surprise flashed across Lu Buwei's brows, and he did not look reluctantly.

When you run the yellow light, everyone runs through it together; if you want to accept bribes, everyone collects money together. People in a department are not allowed to tolerate too independent people. People in one department are making mistakes. Only one person is clean. Isn’t that not to get along with everyone?! A locust has passed by in the mouth and her eyebrows are not frowning. Chen Zhong sighed in his heart, "The locusts are soaring, and it is impossible not to eat them."

After tasting the locusts, the ministers discussed using locusts instead of food, and did not encounter any objection. Those who made mistakes always wanted to pull others into the water. Ministers who had tasted the locusts were eager to let the people of Qin taste this delicious food. Meng Tian carefully arranged such a good show, and did not hesitate to use a family offensive to gain Meng Ao's support. It was precisely because of this mentality of people: I am not easy to pass, and it is best that everyone is not easy to pass. When the Qing Dynasty Tartars entered the pass, they strongly asked the Han people to shave their hair and change their clothes. It was not because some Han people had subtle changes in their psychology after shave their hair and change their clothes. Looking at the Han people who had not shave their hair and change their clothes, they would think that the Han people who had not shave their hair and change their clothes should be the same as them.

Whether it is collective hypnosis or coercion, the ministers will not openly jump out and oppose it after eating Ying Zheng's locusts.

"Duke Xiao also told me that the fire was raised at night, and the locusts were attracted by the fire and gathered together, so that they could take the opportunity to destroy them on a large scale."

"Congratulations to the King, congratulations to the King!" Many ministers stood up and saluted Ying Zheng, "With Duke Xiao's blessing, our Qin State will be able to eliminate the locust plague soon!"

"Gen. Meng, you can allocate three thousand soldiers to Meng Tian. I will personally arrange to destroy locusts in Shanglinyuan!"

"promise!"

Before people could react, Meng Tian had three thousand more soldiers and horses in his hands. Shanglinyuan was training troops, but he was just a small fight. With these three thousand people, Meng Tian could be considered a real general. When Huo Qubing was eighteen years old, he had only eight hundred men. I am only sixteen years old now and had more than three thousand men under him. Meng Tian sighed in his heart that Ying Zheng was worthy of being Ying Zheng. He climbed up the pole and before Duke Xiao's halo had dissipated, he added three thousand soldiers to Shanglinyuan.

Ying Zheng has not taken power yet, so logically, he has no power. However, if someone listens to you, you have power, even if you have not taken power, or you are not in that position. Meng Tian and Ying Zheng are good, and Meng Ao secretly got the orphan of King Zhuangxiang. As long as Ying Zheng does not mess around like Hu Hai and does not make random requests, Meng Ao will probably support him.

Army, without an army, I cannot achieve such great achievements as the Tian family of Qi. Meng Ao supports the Little Qin King, and the army will support the Little Qin King. Ying Zheng gradually grew up and wanted to get rid of Lu Buwei's control. Zhao Ji was like a wolf or a tiger. No matter how much Lu Buwei nourished his kidney, he still couldn't meet Zhao Ji's hot needs. After a few times, Zhao Ji felt resentment in his heart, and Lu Buwei was so embarrassed that he couldn't say anything. No matter how strong he was, a man would reach the top three or four times a day. Zhao Ji was not satisfied even though he was seven or eight times a day. How could Lu Buwei deal with it in his forties?

When he stepped out of the hall, Lu Buwei looked around and saw the huge Xianyang City, which seemed to be crawling at his feet, but the performance of the little Qin King proved that the child named Zhongfu had grown up. Will Xianyang City, Qin State be in my control in the future? Lu Buwei felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. The legal system of Qin State is deeply rooted and the army is even more self-contained. Even though he tried every means, Qin State still resisted his infiltration. Zhang Tang had his strong support, but he could not gain the trust of the local generals of Qin State.

The Meng family is really annoying! Thinking of Meng Tian, ​​who is almost inseparable from Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei felt a headache and hated him no matter how he looked.

What Lu Buwei thought, Meng Tian didn't care at all. After the dynasty meeting, Meng Tian hung behind Meng Ao like a follower, and took Li Bi and Luo Jia to the Weisu camp in Xianyang to select soldiers. Han Xin said that he would be more soldiers, and then again, which general doesn't want the more soldiers he commands, the better! I, Meng Tian, ​​want to make the name of Meng 100,000 in history, only one hundred and twenty Yu Linlangs can't do, and I have to seize every opportunity to expand the army! With the support of Ying Zheng, Meng Tian believes that in the near future, he can definitely establish a Daqin army comparable to the Dadong Conscription Corps of the Mountain of Pressure!

The King of Qin swept the Liuhe River and the princes came to the west! Let this day come soon!
Chapter completed!
