Chapter 155
Hao Shen angered Long Chenxiu recklessly, his face turned pale with fright, and his legs trembled.

"The emperor calm down!" He knelt down on the ground.

Long Chenxiu glared at him with burning eyes, and then turned his gaze to other people, his voice was as cold as ice in winter.

"I'll ask you again, does anyone know what they just ate?"

All the ministers were petrified.They really don't know!

What happened to the emperor today?Why are you getting angry with them just because you ate a plate of food?

Just when everyone was at a loss, a young voice said respectfully: "Reporting to the emperor, I thought that what I ate just now were locusts that harmed the people's crops!"

"Oh?"

Long Chenxiu followed the voice and saw a young man kneeling out of the shift. Looking at the official uniform, he was a fifth-rank official.

Usually, small officials of this level are not eligible to participate in the early court, but today is special, it is a big court once a month, as long as they are officials in the capital, they need to participate in the six ranks and above.

That's why this fifth-rank petty official had the opportunity to speak back on the Golden Luan Hall.

All the first-rank officials looked at this fifth-rank junior official who suddenly appeared, and all showed dissatisfaction.Many people have even secretly made up their minds to find out who this person is, and dare to confront them openly.

Isn't that right, so many high-ranking ministers didn't speak, and you, a mere fifth-rank official, came out to show off, isn't that embarrassing, looking for death!
However, Long Chenxiu was in a good mood, because he heard what this little official said "has harmed the people's crops".

So Long Chenxiu looked at him encouragingly, "Tell me, how can you be sure that what you just ate was that locust?"

The fifth-rank official did not even dare to raise his head, but just knelt on the ground respectfully, bowed his head and replied: "Reporting to the emperor, I am the head of the household department in charge of agriculture. In recent days, there have been locust plagues in various places around the capital." According to the report, in order to find countermeasures, Weichen has been experimenting with various methods with the people in the farmland for the past few days. Therefore, I am quite familiar with this locust."

Long Chenxiu's frown, which had been tightened all the time, finally relaxed a little, and his voice warmed up, "Get up and answer. Tell me, can you find any good way?"

The little official thanked Long En, stood up straight and replied: "Reporting to the emperor, I am ashamed, I have been thinking about it day and night, but there is no suitable way. I can only go with those common people and catch him with bare hands." Locusts in the field, and then crushed to death!"

When the ministers heard this, the expressions on their faces were very strange, and at the same time, they all understood why the emperor changed his face just now.

It turned out that what they ate were really locusts, and it was the locusts that caused the plague!

Thinking about that thing, they felt a little nauseated. Although it was delicious, it was a pest after all, so they wouldn't be infected with some strange disease.

And Hao Shen was even more shocked.Old and cunning, he already figured it out. The reason why the emperor was angry just now must be because, as the prime minister, he didn't even know the "culprit" of the locust plague.

These days, he just reported the disaster situation to the emperor, but he really didn't know what the locusts looked like.

Now that the emperor was so angry, he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

At this time, Long Chenxiu looked at the little official with eyes showing appreciation, and asked lightly: "What's your name?"
