Fang Xuanling hurried to Lingyan Pavilion.
The list of heroes in Lingyan Pavilion has been drafted, and the portraits of heroes are also painted by Zhao Chen himself.
Now Zhao Chen put another stone statue into Lingyan Pavilion.
Where is Zhao Chen going to put him?
Who would be the person who was squeezed out of the ranking by a stone statue?
Should everyone move one behind afterwards or what?
If this is the case, Zhao Chen alone would offend the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.
This is a bit too much.
Fang Xuanling had to stop this matter before it was expanded.
Wei Zheng went straight to Zhao Chen's mansion.
He didn't understand what Zhao Chen was going to do.
But suddenly a statue was put into Lingyan Pavilion, that was not a trivial matter.
Although Wei Zheng didn't care about his ranking in Lingyan Pavilion, other honorary and meritorious officials would probably not agree.
Especially those who have a grudge against Zhao Chen, such as Hou Junji, who won’t bite Zhao Chen to death this time?
Lingyan Pavilion, many officials came here today to see the portraits of the heroes put into Lingyan Pavilion.
Li Ke showed up here with a stone statue.
It caused a huge sensation.
"What is Your Highness Shu King doing? How did you get a stone statue?"
"This stone statue seems to be newly carved, and the traces on it are still very new!"
"Today is the day when the portraits of heroes of Lingyan Pavilion enter the hall. What does His Highness the King of Shu bring up a stone statue?"
"Didn't he want to put this stone statue into Lingyan Pavilion, right?"
"Not that, I have never seen this stone statue."
"This carving technique seems to be made by Duke Zhaojun!"
"Zhao Chen?"
Duan Lun said that the carving method of this stone statue was to make Zhao Chen change his face.
They were all wondering what Zhao Chen asked Li Ke to bring this statue here to do.
It would be fine if they knew the people of this statue.
The key is that none of them have seen the person on this statue.
"What is the situation in His Highness, King of Shu?" asked Duan Lun, the Minister of Works, and Li Ke.
He also couldn't understand. The list of heroes in Lingyan Pavilion had long been decided. What was going on when Zhao Chen asked Li Keyun to bring such a statue at this time?
"I don't know either. The sir said I'll send it here!" Li Ke didn't say much.
He knew that if he told these officials what he knew, these people would definitely be furious on the spot.
No matter how much Zhao Chen has made contributions, all officials will not let him act so willful.
Lingyan Pavilion is related to the country of the Tang Dynasty and is an affirmation of the heroes.
Under the supervision of all officials, how could Zhao Chen do whatever he wants?
"Didn't Zhaojun Gong come?" an official frowned and asked.
"Sir, I'll be here later!" Li Ke responded.
Everyone stopped talking. In the cold winter, everyone looked at the stone statue in front of them silently.
No one left.
They were all waiting for Zhao Chen to come and give them a reasonable explanation.
...
"Li Ke transported a stone statue to Lingyan Pavilion?"
When the Zheng Hall was established, the emperor was still changing his clothes, so he heard the eunuch beside him talk about the Lingyan Pavilion.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Your Highness, said that it was the Duke of Wannian County who brought him over."
"Although the reason was not mentioned, the ministers all felt that the Duke of the County wanted to put the stone statue into Lingyan Pavilion."
"I heard that the county lord will be here later, and all the officials are waiting there." The eunuch told the emperor about the situation there.
The emperor waved his hand and signaled the eunuch to go down.
Only Empress Changsun was left in Lizheng Hall to organize clothes for the emperor.
"When Lingyan Pavilion was first established, because the treasury could not afford money, I promised Zhao Chen to allow him to place a stone tablet in Lingyan Pavilion."
"He said that man was the inventor of the yield of 3,000 kilograms of rice per mu, and lived a hundred million people, so I agreed to him."
"I have forgotten this for several months and I don't want to see today..." The emperor and Empress Changsun explained the origin of the stone statue.
"What is Your Majesty going to do with this matter?" asked Empress Changsun.
Since the emperor agreed to Zhao Chen, if he could not do it, Zhao Chen would definitely not agree.
If the emperor agreed to let the stone statue enter Lingyan Pavilion, how could the officials explain?
The only way is to make all officials believe that the rice with a yield of 3,000 kilograms per mu was really researched by the stone statue.
But no one except Zhao Chen had seen that person.
How do all officials believe this?
"I have no good idea now. The only way is to make the officials believe that the rice comes from the hands of the stone statue!" The emperor frowned.
At the beginning, he just promised that Zhao Chen would get a stone tablet in, and at most he would have a surname.
I didn’t expect that guy was even carved with stone statues!
But Zhao Chen said at that time that people who have produced 3,000 kilograms of rice per mu are not in this world at all.
Isn't this kidding him?
Who would believe it if you say it?
"Kuanyin maid, stay and prepare for tomorrow's New Year's Eve dinner. Then our family has a good reunion dinner!" said the emperor and Empress Changsun.
...
"Zhao Chen, can't you let us have a peaceful New Year?"
"The New Year will be tomorrow. Today, you are going to have another fight with the officials?"
On the way to Lingyan Pavilion, Wei Zheng and Zhao Chen complained.
He is also for Zhao Chen's good.
If the stone statue wants to enter Lingyan Pavilion, it will definitely be blocked by all officials.
And this time, it will definitely be more intense than any previous one.
In the eyes of all officials, even the emperor would not dare to do this.
If Zhao Chen was allowed to continue like this, wouldn’t the court become Zhao Chen’s place of words?
Even so that the officials will not stop Zhao Chen today.
"Can you know what the price of rice this year?" Zhao Chen asked.
"Two cents per kilogram." Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then said.
"How much was the rice price last year?" Zhao Chen asked again.
"Five essays, even higher." Wei Zheng frowned.
He didn't quite understand what Zhao Chen said had to do with their affairs today.
"How many people starved to death this year, how much is compared to last year?" Zhao Chen asked again.
"It's rare, less than 20% last year, and there have been severe locust plagues, but few people died of hunger."
"Thanks to the rice seeds you made last year, otherwise..." Wei Zheng sighed a little.
He has been working in the Secretariat for some time.
All the news from all over the country have been presented.
In the past, more than 100,000 people died of starvation in various places every year.
But this year is different.
Even because of the locust plague, less than 20,000 people starved to death in various places.
It's really a good change.
And all of these changed because of Zhao Chen's appearance.
If Zhao Chen's stone statue entered Lingyan Pavilion, the reactions of all officials would not be so strong.
But the person in the stone statue was clearly an old man they had never seen before.
Want to enter Lingyan Pavilion...
"The rice seeds were studied by the old man in stone statues. I just planted them on the ground."
"A handful of seeds can live hundreds of millions of people. How can I not enter the Lingyan Pavilion?" Zhao Chen asked Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng was a little dazed.
This is the first time I have been questioned like this by Zhao Chen.
But, except Zhao Chen, who would believe that it was the rice seeds that someone had never seen before.
"Zhao Chen, all the officials will not believe it, they..."
