Transmigrated into the book to become the villain prince, the son of the plane to destroy

All the Chinese, military and military officials in the palace were in an uproar again, and their eyes turned to Prime Minister Wang Chong. The latter's original calm expression had disappeared, replaced by a gloomy expression.

Xiao Ji remained calm on the face, but there was a slight movement in his heart.

"Absurd! Since ancient times, it has only been heard that disasters from heaven are caused by the failure of the emperor. It is unheard of that disasters are caused by the failure of officials!"

Chen Chi from Zhongshushe angrily refuted Xiao Jie.

There was a faint murderous intent in Xiao Ji's eyes, Chen Chi was so brave, he dared to accuse him of immorality in the court!

Xiao Jie sneered: "Chen She kept saying that my father's failure of virtue caused disasters, how dare I ask where my father's failure of virtue is?"

Chen Chi was refuted in an instant and lost his voice. He already felt a little slip of the tongue when he said that the emperor had lost his morality. Now he would not dare to be so rebellious and accuse Xiao Ji one by one in the court.

"His Majesty King Qi's words are wrong. Sages and sages have said that it is only the people who perish. It is clumsy, and Yi is ignorant of the destiny, so he perishes. It is fair and obvious. Only respect virtue and never violate it. If disasters happen today, it is a warning from heaven to His Majesty , to remind His Majesty to respect heaven and cultivate virtue."

Seeing that Chen Chi was speechless by Xiao Jie's refutation, Yan Zheng, the Minister of Rites, also appeared as Chen Chi's platform.

Naturally, he would not be so stupid as to criticize Xiao Ji one by one in the court. After all, he has no enmity or grudge with the Nine Clans. It was a big mistake, as for where the mistake was, Xiao Ji had to reflect on it himself!

In short, what did Emperor Xiao Ji do wrong?Unnecessary!

Xiao Ji's face became more gloomy, his right hand unconsciously grasped the right armrest of the dragon chair, and his murderous intent grew stronger.

Xiao Jie shook his head and said with a smile: "Master Yan, disasters from heaven are indeed a warning from heaven, but since it is a warning to the father and emperor, why is it not a warning to all officials? There are still sayings among sages and sages. Situ is to be blamed; barbarians are cunning in summer, bandits are treacherous, and Sima is to be blamed; ditches are blocked, water is harmful to the people, and fields are not reclaimed, so Sikong is to be blamed. There is no such thing as Situ, Sima, and Sikong in our dynasty. , but the prime minister is the head of all officials, if a disaster comes from heaven, why can't the prime minister be blamed?"

Yan Zheng was also speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute Xiao Jie.

Xiao Jie sneered in his heart, this is called using magic to defeat magic, if you like chatting with people, I will accompany you to chat with people, and see who can fool the other!

Seeing that Yan Zheng, the servant of the Ministry of Rites who is proficient in etiquette, was refuted by his son, Xiao Ji also cried out in his heart. He turned his eyes to Wang Chong, and said with a smile: "Wang Qing's family, what do you think about this matter?"

Wang Chong looked at Xiao Jie with indescribable hatred in his eyes. This grandson, whom he had poured so much effort into, is now determined to dismiss him from office. Isn't this going to put the entire Wang family to death?

"Your Majesty, if the plague of locusts can be eliminated, the old minister is willing to resign as prime minister."

All the officials in the palace were dumbfounded immediately, and the royal party officials were all dumbfounded, unable to believe their ears.

Xiao Ji frowned, and he keenly grasped another meaning of Wang Chong, that is, what should he do if the plague of locusts persists after he resigns?

"Father, if the plague of locusts persists after Wang Xiangguo resigns, I am willing to die to thank the world."

Xiao Jie naturally also heard the implication of Wang Chong's words, smiled coldly, and said word by word.

All the officials in the palace were shocked again, and even Xiao Ji couldn't believe his ears.

"Presumptuous, this is the court, how can the matter of life and death be such a trifling matter, why don't you retreat quickly."

Xiao Ji's complexion darkened, and he hurriedly sternly stopped Xiao Jie. Although he also hoped in his heart to use the plague of locusts to remove Wang Chong's position as prime minister and make the entire royal party leaderless, but if he wanted to lose his son's life, he would definitely unwilling.

He was very clear in his heart, not to mention dismissing one Wang Chong, even if dismissing all royal party officials, the plague of locusts would not disappear by itself.

A murderous intent flashed in Wang Chong's eyes, Xiao Jie, you asked for this.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Qi is also the grandson of the old minister. Naturally, the old minister is willing to trust him. For the sake of the well-being of the people in the world, the old minister is willing to resign from the position of prime minister."

Wang Chong took off the official hat on his head with his own hands, bowed his head to Xiao Ji, and said righteously.

The officials were so shocked that they became numb, and some officials who had reacted spoke out to dissuade Wang Chong.

Wang Chong shook his head vigorously, and his words were very impassioned: "You colleagues don't need to persuade, everything is just to eliminate the plague of locusts. How dare I mislead the common people because of my greed for a phase."

Xiao Jie sneered in his heart, he obviously wanted to kill me, but he said it so righteously, how could I turn a blind eye to the one who should cooperate with you in the performance.

"Xiao Jie thanked the old man on behalf of the common people in the world. If the plague of locusts disappears, the people of Daning should thank the old man for his profound understanding of righteousness."

Xiao Ji's face was ashen, but he knew that the situation could no longer be prevented from deteriorating, so he walked away angrily.

"Retreat!"

"Retreat!"

Lian Yi, the internal servant, made a sharp voice, announcing that today's absurd court meeting farce had come to an end.

……

"Why are you so impulsive, wanting to fight with your life and seek your own death?"

In the imperial study room, Xiao Jie knelt on the ground to welcome the thunderous wrath of his father Xiao Ji.

However, Xiao Jie was not frightened by Xiao Ji's anger. He looked at Xiao Ji calmly, and said in an unusually calm tone, "Father, don't you think this is a godsend opportunity to dismiss Grandpa? Once Grandpa leaves office, the royal party will have no leader. Falling apart."

What Xiao Jie said, Xiao Ji didn't know, it was for the sake of overthrowing Wang Chong and losing such an excellent son as Xiao Jie, he felt deeply worthless.

Bringing down Wang Chong won't work this time and there's still a chance next time, but his son doesn't have another life.

"Do you think it's worth your own life to bring down your grandfather?" Xiao Ji asked coldly.

Xiao Jie said with a smile: "Father, I have never thought of taking my own life. Since I dare to fight with my life, naturally I have thought of a way to control the locust plague?"

Xiao Ji was taken aback, with an expression of disbelief: "The locust plague is so rampant, are you sure you can cure it?"

Xiao Jie took out a memorial from his cuff and handed it to Xiao Ji.

"Father, it's just a strategy written by my son about the locust plague. Please read it."

Xiao Ji accepted the memorial with a look of suspicion, wondering in his heart what things in this world his son didn't understand.

Xiao Ji opened Xiao Jie's memorial, and there were several methods written in it. At first, it seemed quite reasonable, but Xiao Ji found it more and more unbelievable when he saw it later. There were several methods that he had never heard of.

The first method is "set a fire at night and dig a pit by the fire".

The second method is to form a team of 50 people, one person beats the drum, and the others use brooms, shovels, etc. to drive the young locusts that cannot fly into the ditch and bury them with soil.

The third method is to use the cloth enclosing method, using a piece of coarse cloth one foot wide by one foot two, with a wooden pole inserted into the soil at each end, and when the locusts come, the cloth will fall head-on to trap the locusts. brie.

The fourth method is to look for small holes like honeycombs in the field and dig them up with a shovel to see if there are locust eggs. If there are any, they will be burned with a big fire.

The fifth method is to mix oil and water and sprinkle it on the branches and leaves of the crops, crush plant ash and lime into fine powder and sprinkle it on the grain, so that the locusts will not eat the crops.

The sixth method is to light up thick smoke with wooden poles, straw poles, etc., and drive out locusts with the help of harmful substances in the smoke.

The seventh method is to prohibit the people from killing birds and encourage the people to breed ducks.
