Chapter 129
Looking at the insects appearing on the ground, Emperor Liang's expression became extremely gloomy!
He didn't believe any bullshit rumors about disasters from heaven. These bugs were definitely the work of some people with ulterior motives!
It takes a lot of courage to do such a thing on the day of the Crown Prince's wedding!
"Your Majesty! The black stone fell from the sky, it was definitely not intentionally placed there by anyone. These poisonous insects are proof of that! The rice harvest season is almost here. If the poisonous insects run rampant, Yuzhou will be left with nothing!"
Shangguan Xiong stood up at this time and spoke righteously.
"Your Majesty! Food is the most important thing for the people. You must not gamble with the people of Yuzhou just because of the Crown Prince!"
"Yuzhou has always been a land of fish and rice, and the main rice producing area of Daliang. Nearly 20% of Daliang's taxes are paid by the people of Yuzhou. If Yuzhou fails to harvest any grain, Daliang's economy will suffer a huge loss!"
"Your Majesty! This matter cannot be delayed. Please issue an edict immediately to abolish the Crown Prince's position as heir apparent. This wedding must also be stopped, and the Sixth Prince must take him back to his residence on his own!"
The officials said that Qin Yu's title should be changed to the Sixth Prince.
Qin Mang stood aside, his face full of pride and excitement. Now that poisonous insects were rampant, all the civil and military officials in the court were giving advice. Even if Emperor Liang favored Qin Yu much, he could not ignore the advice of the ministers and protect Qin Yu's position as the crown prince!
"Haha! I didn't expect that this prince's wedding would be blessed with such auspicious signs from heaven. It is truly a blessing for Daliang!"
Qin Yu said with a smile at this time.
Just now someone shouted that there was a poisonous insect, and he thought something had happened. But when he saw the red insect lying on the ground, he just laughed. This was the delicious crayfish that everyone in later generations loved!
In later generations, this thing was considered an invasive species. For a long time, it caused great trouble to the people and also led to a reduction in grain production.
Until one day, the hardworking and simple working people discovered that this thing was edible, and then the invasive species was eaten directly and became a rare species that needed to be cultivated to satisfy the public's appetite.
"Asshole! Qin Yu! You really are such a bastard! Do you know how despicable this poisonous insect is? And you actually said it was a blessing from heaven!"
Shangguan Xiong scolded Qin Yu angrily.
"Your Majesty! The Crown Prince is immoral! Truly immoral! This is clearly a poisonous insect, yet he has the audacity to call it a good omen. If this thing were to wreak havoc in Yuzhou, the people of Yuzhou would starve to death!"
"Haha! Your Highness the Crown Prince does have some talent, but he has no heart for the people! How can someone like you be the Crown Prince of Daliang? You should just be the Sixth Prince!"
......
The officials angrily denounced Qin Yu.
Qin Mang also stood up at this time and said in a deep voice, "Father! I think what the ministers said is reasonable. The Crown Prince's wedding is supposed to be a happy event, but poisonous insects fell from the sky. There is no way to make it right!"
"But my sixth brother said it was an auspicious sign. Such nonsense should not come from the mouth of a crown prince. I dare you to reconsider!"
"Your Majesty! Please think twice!"
Civil and military officials all knelt on the ground.
Emperor Liang's expression was extremely gloomy. He said in a cold voice, "The appearance of this poisonous insect is strange, yet you haven't even investigated it and are calling it a disaster sent from heaven. Are all the officials of Daliang a bunch of supernatural beings?"
Shangguan Xiong stood up, took a few steps forward, and knelt on the ground again. With an aggressive look, he said, "Your Majesty! The palace is guarded by the Imperial Guards today. I ask, who could possibly let such a poisonous insect in under the Imperial Guards' protection?"
"Your Majesty, do you still remember when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince proposed abolishing Daliang's ancient system of prime ministers and implementing the perverse cabinet system? At that time, Your Majesty issued an imperial decree stating that if Daliang did not suffer any disaster within a month, the cabinet system would be implemented; if a disaster did occur, the cabinet system would no longer be mentioned!"
