In the next few days, as locust plague broke out one after another, the court also quarreled many times for disaster relief.

Just as the locust plague was still continuing, the restaurants and furniture stores invested by Li Chengqian were also opened one after another. Li Chengqian was afraid that others would not know that it was opened by him, so he directly named the Royal Restaurant and Royal Furniture Store.

I will tell those people directly that this is the one I have opened, come and attack me quickly.

Since the two stores opened, Li Chengqian has been waiting for the summons and anger of his emperor father, but he couldn't wait on the left or right, which made Li Chengqian depressed.

It was originally intended that his emperor father depose his position as crown prince, and he hurriedly opened two stores at the moment when the locust plague broke out.

It wasn't until my emperor's father was angry that it was only a few days after opening. The restaurant was full of new cooking every day, and its daily turnover could reach tens of thousands (you can order the price higher)

The furniture store even more because of the publicity of the emperor's father, all the furniture inside was sold out as soon as it opened, and even the reservations accepted were ranked outside 100. If Li Chengqian was not afraid that the craftsmen would not be able to make it, he would not know how many reservations would be.

Even Zhang Gao came back and said that many people had to get reservations without raising prices, so some people even started fighting on the street.

This forced Li Chengqian to ask Zhang Gao to recruit more carpenters with good skills, and at the same time, he also asked Sun Lou and other masters with good skills to recruit more apprentices.

On that day, Li Shimin returned to Tai Chi Palace as soon as he went to court and smashed his favorite glass bowl.

It turned out that as soon as he went to court today, a censor wrote a letter saying that "the prince met the people for profit, and condones the people from the Eastern Palace to capture locusts in large quantities, and even the locust god was angry." He asked Li Shimin to severely punish the prince to suppress the locust god's anger, and said that someone had already given Li Chengqian the title of merchant prince.

The words of this censor soon received support from many ministers. An official from a noble family even said that if the prince was not severely punished and he was asked to publicly cook and furniture recipes, and went to Taimiao to apologize to the Locust God, he would resign and return to his hometown.

This made Li Shimin so angry that he dismissed the official's position, but Li Shimin did so, not only failed to make the officials give up, but instead followed suit.

In the end, Li Shimin could only announce his resignation and called his trusted ministers, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others to Tai Chi Palace to discuss countermeasures.

"His Majesty calmed down." Seeing that Li Shimin was still angry, Changsun Wuji and others who followed him quickly knelt down.

"You ask me to calm my anger, tell me how to calm my anger. The prince of the merchant is so smart. He is usually very clever, but why is it like this? He can't wait. I'm so angry that I'm so angry." Li Shimin roared and asked Changsun Wuji and the others.

When Changsun Wuji and the others heard Li Shimin's words, they were all wondering in their hearts, saying that you always know why the prince did this, so you said it out loud, we really want to hear it.

Li Shimin looked at the ministers who followed him along the way, and he wanted to tell the matter, but because of the serious relationship, he couldn't say it. And when he thought of his eldest son, he actually made up the matter, so he calmed him down. Thinking of this, Li Shimin directly let Changsun Wuji and the others leave.

"Brother Fu Ji, you are the Empress's brother. Have you heard anything from the Empress? Tell us?" After the Tai Chi Palace, these great ministers gathered together to find out what was going on.

"This may disappoint you. I am completely confused. I don't know why the prince did this. Let's go back and think about how to solve this problem! I will take the blame first." After saying that, Changsun Wuji left first.

When others saw this, they left one after another.

After Li Shimin got angry at Tai Chi Palace, he went to the East Palace. He wanted to see if he hadn't been to the East Palace for only a few days, why did his son do such a headache for him?

On the other side, Changsun Wugui, who received the news, hurriedly hugged his youngest son to the East Palace.

In the end, the couple met at the entrance of the East Palace.

"Guanyin maid, why are you here too?" Seeing his first wife, Li Shimin asked the eunuch to stop the sedan chair and walk forward and ask.

"Second brother, I haven't seen Gao Ming for many days, and this child doesn't come to greet you, so why don't you come and see me?" Changsun Wugui naturally wouldn't say that he was worried that you would beat his son, so he came to see him first.

"This evil son doesn't even go to pay his respects to his parents. If you don't deal with him well today, that's all." After that, Li Shimin walked in.

However, as soon as he entered the Eastern Palace, a scent of scent attracted him instantly.

"Guanyin Bi, what kind of delicious food is this? I have never smelled it before. Did this guy Gao Ming make something delicious? Have you eaten it?" After smelling it, Li Shimin asked Changsun Wugui with an intoxicated look on his face.

"I have never eaten this, and Gao Ming didn't deliver it to me. Let's go in and ask him directly." Changsun Wugui smelled it and said he didn't know.

Just as Li Shimin and Changsun Wugui were taking people in, a palace maid from the East Palace passed by with a few skewers of roasted locusts. When she saw Li Shimin and Changsun Wugui, she was so scared that she knelt there.

"I don't know your majesty. The empress arrived and ran into your majesty. I also asked me to spare me." The palace maid knelt there and dared not raise her head, begging Li Shimin to forgive her.

"What are you holding in your hand? Come and show it to me." After that, Wang De took the roasted locust from the palace maid and took it to Li Shimin.

When Li Shimin and Changsun Wugui saw the roasted locust in front of him, they were startled at first, but were soon attracted by its unique fragrance.

In addition, Li Shimin also thought of what the censor said, the prince instigated the people from the Eastern Palace to capture locusts on a large scale.

"I'll ask you if locusts can be eaten, and if the people in the Eastern Palace are eating these locusts." Although Li Shimin already had the answer in his mind, he also asked the palace maid in front of him.

"Your Majesty, this locust can be eaten and it is delicious. Especially the ones that the Prince's Prince ordered the kitchen to be fried in oil are even more fragrant, but I have never tasted it. As for the people in the Eastern Palace, they have indeed used this locust in large quantities these days. His Royal Highness also said that this locust can be used as a kind of meat, and it is good for the health." The palace maid knelt on the ground and answered Li Shimin's question carefully.

"Okay, okay, I didn't expect that this locust that everyone feared was a delicacy in my son, and could meet the people's needs for meat. This evil son didn't take it out early and made me suffer for nothing. I don't teach him a good lesson today." As he said that, Li Shimin handed the roasted locust in his hand to Wang De, indicating that he had no problem eating one, then took it and bite one into his mouth and started eating it. He did not forget to give Changsun Wugui one.

When the palace maid saw that her roasted locust was gone, she knelt there sadly, looking at the departing Li Shimin with her eyes fixed on her.
