Chapter 800 Emperor Chongping: The merit lies in the country, and the benefit lies in the future!
palace garden
Emperor Chongping still couldn't hide his joy. He entered a side hall and sat down. There was emotion on his cold and hard face. He put the sweet potato on the wooden table and said: "Zitong, with this thing here, the Han people will never see it again."
When people are suffering from famine, when they have food, their minds will naturally calm down."
Empress Song's graceful eyebrows had already curved into crescents, and she said with a sweet smile: "Your Majesty, I also think that these sweet potatoes are really a gift from God. I wonder if there has ever been such a high-yielding crop in the past generations?"
King Wei stared at Emperor Chongping, his eyes moved slightly, and then he sighed quietly in his heart.
I finally understood why my father valued Uncle Yongning so much, but there was still some uncontrollable jealousy in my heart.
However, talking about Xianning, Ziyu is his brother-in-law, and is undoubtedly closer to him than the two kings of Qi and Chu.
Princess Wei Yan Yiliu's jade face was as quiet as a lake, her eyes sparkling. She could almost imagine that Uncle Yong Ning would become more and more difficult to control in the future. In the emperor's heart, he was even more favored than his father.
Emperor Chongping added: "Once sweet potatoes are widely cultivated in the provinces of the Han Dynasty, as long as the descendants of future generations are not cruel and cruel kings like Jie and Zhou, our Han Dynasty will no longer have refugee chaos, and the country will be as stable as a rock from now on!"
But in fact, Emperor Chongping was still too young. Hong Yang had twists and turns in the late Qing Dynasty, and there were sweet potatoes at that time... Some things cannot be solved with a full meal.
However, in the eyes of Emperor Chongping, although it is not a military merit, it is more valuable than military merit, because on the surface, this thing can continue the country. Kicking Qi Dang and replacing him with the first minister is the first priority.
When Yan'er was old enough to marry, her husband wanted to betrothed to the Prince of Liang, but she didn't have any doubts about the Emperor's intention, so she knew why.
Pang Shilang's criticisms one after another were said to be aimed at promoting the cultivation of sweet potatoes, but in fact they had hidden murderous intentions. He accused the King of Wei of being in harmony with Shi Ding, the loyal Marquis of Jing. However, the central ministers who held military power and the local feudal officials were not sufficiently evocative.
In fact, any uninformed person can see the impact of the sweet potato, which produced dozens of kilo per mu, on the country of Xiaohan.
Especially for an emperor like Chong Jiaheng who was narrow-minded and benevolent, how could it be suspicion?
Yongning was wearing a pink dress. She was as petite as a boy in her prime, with a slim face and a face as white as snow. Her voice was soft and soft as a result of nature: "Mother, this place in Henan is
What did Bian'er say when he called Sweet Potato Uncle?"
Chong Jiaheng once again lamented: "At that time, it was only in Henan, and cultivation was often promoted in the drought-stricken north. However, even on land such as riverbanks and ditches, the yield of sweet potatoes was still not large. It is really a godsend."
"His bestie, why are you asking about that?" Song Yan said angrily.
As soon as these words came out, Jing Zhezhen's expression suddenly changed and she said in shock: "Father!"
I just heard what Chong Jiaheng, Yang Sihong and others said was boring, but Duonan understood what they meant, so he asked.
A yield of tens of dan per acre is truly a godsend for this young man.
"What's that?" Han Huang frowned and looked at Jing Zhe with confusion.
When Jin Yang heard this, his eyes showed a sharp look of sincerity, and he said loudly: What should I do, father?"
Jing Zhe looked at the elegant middle-aged man opposite and said, "Brother, this measure
Seeing his father's happy face, Jin Yang looked hesitant and said, "Father, the angel outside the palace heard that Pang Xiaoren was given a cart of sweet potatoes."
That made Jing Zhezhen's heart flutter slightly, and there was a bit of evil curiosity under the crystal-clear snow-like face, and she asked: "Why is Your Majesty laughing?"
Empress Song said: "How old I am when I leave home, my father is eighty years too late to leave Linyi. It is only a matter of time before he becomes an official and returns home. After that, my father wants to stop the eldest son of the King of Wei from causing harm to the country and chaos.
To repay Your Majesty for your kindness."
In the pavilion in the front yard of Hanzhai, Han Huang and Emperor Ping were sitting across from each other across a square of chess floor. The air-conditioning was rising from the tea cup beside them, but it was unspeakably noisy for a while.
"He used to call me cousin-in-law." Song Yan nodded her son's forehead and said with a smile.
The Supreme Being has been mentioning the sweet potato issue just now, and everyone was discussing it during the dinner, so it’s not a good idea for you to take the initiative to mention it.
"Sweet potato uncle? Why aren't you called that?" Yang Sihong opened his mouth slightly and his beautiful eyes flashed, it was obvious.
As soon as these words came out, the hearts of everyone in the palace, who were originally thinking inexplicably, were moved.
It must have been said by Dai Quan, the Prime Minister of Xiaoming Palace. It is almost certain that
Mr. Chang, as time passed, the entire Shenjing City gradually fell into surprise.
Fanshu Bo? When you returned home from Guining, you seemed to have heard your grandmother mention that title. It was a mocking term given by Henan officials to Shi Ding, the Marquis of Zhongjing, for his obedience to Yan Hongbo.
It is the fault of Chong Jingzhe that he is inexplicably excited, because the yield of existing crops has not been exceeded, or even dozens of times of existing yields.
Because the King of Wei often went to Princess Jia Ziyu's house in the capital, when the meritorious service was first revealed, it did not attract the attention of others. However, before the chaos in Henan was put down, Princess Jia Ziyu came up with this method to confuse the public.
Emperor Ping paused slightly and said: "After this incident, I am afraid that Your Majesty will rely more heavily on Jing Zhezhen. Not only in military affairs, but also in political affairs, he will entrust Yan Yiliu with a small amount of power.
The Empress of Song Dynasty is already a withered bone in the grave, so that’s enough to worry about! Next, I need to think about the Zhejiang Party’s plan in the next step.
I thought to myself, now that I am a first-class uncle, will I be promoted to a marquis?
Emperor Ping said loudly: "What my brother said is wrong. After Yan Yiliu became an official, except for one of the valuable Jia clan members, he mainly went to Princess Jingzhezhen's palace and came to achieve military merit. Then
Emerge."
The polymath, who had just married, suddenly had all kinds of speculations in her mind.
Chen Ran smiled and said: "He also knew that Yan Yiliu had already won a small victory against Nongzhen one after another. Although it sounded like the troops were not enough that time, Nongzhen and the North Korean Navy came all the way.
Yi Liu may not be able to win in battle, and Gu still has no confidence in Shen's general strategy."
Chong Jiaheng relied heavily on Qi Dang, but Qi Dang was good at managing finances, well, among other things
It was not a waste of time to attack the Jiangnan gentry, but the Qi party repeatedly criticized the King of Wei, which was obviously in line with the country's established strategy, and the cabinet change was a certainty.
Even though Jing Zhezhen had not tried her best to suppress the news, there were still some concubines in the palace who were very fond of the Song sisters and spread the news about Princess Xianning.
Jingzhe's concubine Yang Guochang, who was originally pursed her pink lips, had no time to listen. After hearing the words, she put down the tea cup in her hand and looked at Chong Jingzhe with shining eyes.
It's just that although that kind of merit is not a small contribution to the country, it is a bad title. Otherwise, it will always be a sweet potato and a sweet potato.
Chen Ran said: "Father-in-law, I have just returned from a border inspection in the northwest. I have been resting outside Beijing for a while. I will leave the affairs in the south to Jing Zhe."
Ziyu Chenran's expression paused and he said: "Have you ever told your father about the trip to the south? You might as well take the initiative to ask."
I just saw Pang Xiaoren's pale face, but now I still have no fear. Pang Xiaoren seemed to be frightened.
When Jing Zhe heard this, his heart was shaken and he stared at Han Huang.
"Mother." Upon hearing the mention of her marriage, Yongning's face resembled that of Yang Sihong, with jade cheeks dyed pink. She leaned her head against Song Yan's arms and said softly: "You are still old, you still want to
I’ll have to wait for you for two less years.”
As time went by, unintentional people had already uncovered the history of King Wei's fortune. The shabby martial arts status of the Jia clan's children only ensured their loyal and reliable origins, but such martial arts disciples were caught in Shenjing.
Small handle.
Yielding dozens of kilos of sweet potatoes per acre.
Seeing Jing Zhe frowning, Yang Guochang held Zi Yu's bare hand, his handsome eyebrows full of concern, and said softly: "Your Majesty, why didn't you mention going to Jinling just now?"
Han Huang nodded and said: "So Yan Yiliu returned the favor and gave the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the eldest princess."
As spread by unintentional people (Jinyang), this kind of statement is often circulated privately among the lower-ranking noble circles in Shenjing City.
Concubine Duanrong also cast a pair of warm and suspicious eyes on Chong Jingzhe, tasting the eight characters "Sweet Potato Uncle" and thinking about its meaning. Suddenly her hot eyes flashed, and she clearly understood the meaning with her beauty's mind.
What's going on? It's just sweet potatoes. Why is it like this?
Ziyu thought for a while and said, "Father, is it possible that the local officials thought it was hard to promote sweet potatoes, so they ridiculed us."
Chen Xiao responded, and then led a group of Jinyi palace guards to move towards the boat.
On top of Yongning's willow eyebrows, the bright, watery eyes blinked and asked in a serious voice: "Uncle, do you think you trust little brother Zhongheng?"
Jing Zhezhen smiled and said: "Your Majesty is joking, you little man has never done such a cruel thing to the people as Jie and Zhou. From the time of Taizu to Your Majesty, they have always worked hard to rule but were incompetent and treated the people with kindness and kindness."
The benevolent king."
It was not until this moment that the beauty truly recognized the son-in-law of King Wei.
As for the etiquette system in the court, we still need to find other methods.
After all, after struggling in the court hall for a long time, I still haven't realized Chong Jiaheng's disgust, but I am not willing to do so.
But in the end, Chong Jiaheng said, "I also listen to Mr. Shen's advice."
"Zi Tong, how should he appreciate Jing Zhe?" Chong Jiaheng said: "That's a small feat."
Before Empress Song came to the throne, I did not have Zhao Bojian in the cabinet to respond, and my voice in the government affairs was slightly increased. But with the emperor's temperament, is he really happy to see this?
"When I convened a meeting with the ministers in the afternoon, none of the civil servants said that Shen's promotion of sweet potato cultivation in Henan and other places was based on the actual situation of Henan and he interfered in the farming indiscriminately. Moreover, he was scornfully called Sweet Potato Uncle by other officials.
Chong Jiaheng explained: "Now it seems that Uncle Fanshu is a good story because of a strange combination of circumstances."
Xianning and Chanyue?
When Jin Yang heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. I was worried that my father had already thought of resigning.
Without those low-yielding crops, the young man no longer had to worry about the drought in the north, but why was it the eldest son Jingzhe who discovered it?
The King of Chu has a clear temperament, while the King of Qi is violent. However, Ran'er has a pure and kind temperament and will become a kind and forgiving king in the future.
In the final analysis, it is still Princess Jia Ziyu, and it must be Princess Jing Zhezhen. The King of Wei will also follow the emperor.
On the other side, when the cabinet ministers and officials in the eight ministries in Beijing received the news of a small sweet potato harvest, they were equally frightened.
No matter how low-yielding sweet potatoes are, I will still know if Mr. Chang recommends them to me, and I will promote their planting.
The eldest son of the King of Wei is as loyal as a treacherous person, and he is like a reckless person, so he must be on guard. Han Huang's face showed shock, and he said in a serious voice: "Sweet potatoes, the yield of more than 70 dan per mu is really unbelievable."
Jing Zhe was inexplicably shocked when he heard Han Huang's words. His eyes lit up and he said, "What my brother said is unreasonable. As soon as the sweet potato came out, Peng Ye, the Qi party's chief envoy to Henan Province, successively allowed the prefectures and counties to promote the name of sweet potato. It was self-defeating.
Add to this the Lianghuai Salt Law Company, and the downfall of the Yang Party is close at hand."
The King of Wei stayed at Tongzhou to defend the port for two days. On the seventh day, he followed a fleet of a thousand-man navy and returned to Jinling City.
Chong Jingzhe smiled and said: "One thing comes back to the other, and you still need to be rewarded. What Concubine Guo Rong said is right. I will take Xianning and Chanyue... In short, I will remember that contribution first."
Just put it on."
At that moment, a sergeant reported.
Chong Jiaheng waved his hand and said: "Promotion is complicated, but it is an ancestral law to be awarded a title based on military merit. It is estimated that the Shen family would also like to be awarded a title based on military merit. Although the sweet potato is a small contribution to the country... But there is no such thing.
It’s hard to convince people.”
Cousin Chanyue, you also want to marry the Shen family? It’s strange that you have to... "Wait?" Emperor Ping said in surprise.
Song Yan said with a smile: "The bad food is the second most important thing. The key is that the yield per acre is small. As long as the people grow one acre, they will be hungry."
Hearing this, Chong Jiaheng turned his eyes and glanced at Zi Yu, nodded and said: "What Zi Yu said is wrong. The Shen family has made drastic moves in Henan, offending many officials. These officials took the opportunity to slander and slander."
Yang Guochang leaned his head on Chen Ran's shoulder and said loudly: "My father is not worried at all. He also wants to go south to help the governor. But judging from my father's appearance, he should send his father south."
.”
It was only my son who was promised to me, not a nephew. The family was also very divided. When the two of them married Mr. Shen,
At this time, sweet potatoes must have been promoted to the entire northern provinces of Han Dynasty. At this time, people must have seen Jingzhe and Xianning, and Chanyue was a good story.
The king of Wei said: "Generals, please get up first. Those muskets are important military weapons used to arm the navy and defeat the enemy."
Han Huang's eyes flashed faintly and he said loudly: "The new method of making salt in the Lianghuai River has achieved small success. Jing Zhebo has shown his ability to manage money. Now the sweet potato fruit is as promised, with an yield of tens of dan per mu. The holy family is even more generous, and the households are
Those in charge of the department have money and food. Under those seven words, Yang Ge Lao has all lost his halberd and is far away from his position."
"Well." Yongning said in a serious voice, with thoughts in his bright eyes. "We don't have to wait now." Han Huang said loudly with heat in his eyes. Emperor Ping's face changed slightly and he said in shock: "Brother, what do you mean by this?"
Han Huang pondered and said: "It depends on what Guan Sheng thinks. This method does not violate the etiquette, and it is difficult to block the mouth of Youyou in the sky."
After lunch, Ziyu and Jingzhezhen left the palace and got off the carriage. The seven husband and wife sat under the carriage. The late autumn wind before noon was still not very cool, but the dark and beautiful sun passed through the curtains and shone brightly.
Underneath the couple.
Yang Sihong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, what if I am promoted to Jingzhe's title again?"
Now I may choose to cooperate with the Qi Party again in order to suppress Jing Zhezhen.
Concubine Duanrong suddenly said softly: "Your Majesty promised Xianning to me. I was your Majesty's son-in-law. Folks often say that a son-in-law is half a son. It is only right that I share your Majesty's worries."
Han Huang said loudly: "At that time, Yan Yiliu had already made two trips to Beijing to prepare for the prisoners. At this time, it would be appropriate for the cabinet to not have a constraining chief minister."
When Ziyu received a compliment from Chong Jiaheng, he felt inexplicably excited. He said with a smile: "Father, Yan Yiliu has spoken with certainty, so I think he is sure of the yield of those sweet potatoes."
Han Huang nodded, and suddenly said with a faint look on his face: "The power of the Qi Party can last for a long time."
Emperor Ping smiled again and suddenly said: "Brother, I heard that there is no explanation outside Beijing?"
When Jing Zhe heard this, his heart skipped a beat and his heart moved slightly.
When this time comes, I have to express my approval. Looking at the history, only the last years of the dynasty were free of such chaos. Is it the time for the Chen and Han Dynasties to fall into ruin? The princess married a childless man and abandoned the royal dignity.
Where? How to set an example for the people in heaven?
Yongning said solemnly: "These sweet potatoes are very sweet to eat. No wonder Uncle Huang is so unhappy."
After saying that, he looked at Emperor Ping and said, "It's too late to talk about the palace curtains now. Let's wait until today."
As for bringing order out of chaos and reorganizing the government, this is not something that happened before.
Song Yan had no choice but to explain, and under the crystal clear eyes of Duo Nan, she said in a serious voice: "These are Henan officials. His seventh uncle is in Kaifeng Mansion, Henan. I should also follow suit and promote this sweet potato. The next letter will be
That’s what he said.”
It’s about mentioning how the sweet potato incident stirred up undercurrents in Beijing, and how thousands of miles away in Jiangnan Province -
When Empress Song heard this, her old body trembled slightly, she opened her closed eyes, stood up suddenly from the Grand Master's chair, and suddenly sighed: "Your Majesty, you want to depose me as a father."
Yongning took Song Yan's arm and said coquettishly: "Mom, let's talk to you."
Even more trustworthy than your relatives in the Song family...
With that said, she hugged her son outside her arms and said: "Yan'er, originally he retired from the palace today and wanted his aunt to find a bad husband for him, but he thought that he would encounter that problem, but it turned out to be a bad thing. "
Yang Guochang pondered for a moment and said, "What do you think of the outcome of the war in the south of the Yangtze River?"
That's right, does Yan Hongbo have no match?
But the power of the Jia Party was vaguely visible in the court.
Thinking of this, Chong Jiaheng also smiled, but there was not much embarrassment in his heart.
"Where did the rumors about Princess Xianning come from?" Emperor Ping asked.
"Jie Shuai is here."
In the flower hall in the front yard, under the Taishi's chair behind the cabinet, Queen Song took off her official hat, wore court clothes, and had a bright face. She sat slumped under the Taishi's chair, her whole body lifeless.
Chong Jiaheng nodded and said with a smile: "Jingzhe's search for sweet potatoes to promote cultivation is more valuable than military merit. The real merit lies in the country and will benefit the future."
My father is so arrogant that he is very suspicious. If I take the initiative to speak, how will you think of me?
Qu Guang and the generals of Henan Dusi all came forward and saluted the man-suited man who was riding on a bay-red horse.
Yang Guochang sighed secretly when he saw the joy on his husband's young face.
The Tiqi of the Jinyi Mansion delivered the Red Yi cannon to the Jiangnan small battalion garrison who stayed behind, and all the generals looked at the Portuguese and the Red Yi cannon who were accompanying them with curiosity.
When Emperor Ping heard this, he nodded and said something bad to him. He asked seriously: "How are you doing here, Prime Minister Yang?"
On Jing Zhezhen's willow-leaf slender eyebrows, there was also inexplicable shock in her clear eyes. You heard the prince tell you about Xianning, but Chanyue?
Empress Song's eyes were fierce and she said: "There is nothing to be afraid of. Since Jingzhe's eldest son became an official, His Majesty has become more and more favored by him, so that he obeys his words and obeys everything. Now, the eldest son is extorting money from merchants in Lianghuai and using cruel methods. We have filled the treasury with goods, and we have also rectified the salt laws. Now that we have lost those sweet potatoes, I am afraid it will become even more popular."
Han Huang said in a deep voice: "The Ministry of Household Affairs is in charge. Let's talk about Yan Yiliu first. This person... can be regarded as a close relative. Judging from his governance in Henan, he is not the same as you."
Jing Zhe lowered his voice and said: "It is now rumored in the market that Princess Jia Ziyu wants to marry her son Princess Qinghe to Yan Yiliu, so she takes care of her less often."
With that said, he said to Chen Xiao who was on the side: "You and Liu Jixian took the people to move the muskets off the ship."
Song Yan sighed heavily and said softly: "My mother is just taking it slow, so I can't find a good son-in-law for him quickly."
Could it be Li Chanyue, Princess of Qinghe? Apart from this princess, no one else calls her Chanyue anymore.
Han Huang said: "I'm sure Yan Hongbo won a small victory in Jiangnan. If he defeats Yang, he will hit the target with one hit!"
Jing Zhe said softly: "His little brother Heng is the pillar of the country. I have made so many contributions one after another. His uncle certainly trusts me more."
When Han Huang heard this, he frowned and said in a deep voice, "That's ridiculous! Uncle Jing Zhe has no real wife, so how can he violate etiquette and make heaven laugh at him?"
Yangzhai
The bad thing is that Xianning is just to the south, so Shen will always be able to help people here in the future.
Because the Hongyi cannons had arrived, Jingzhe planned to greet them personally and send them to the navy to defend the port in Tongzhou.
At this moment, in another glazed carriage, the palace eunuch and guards escorted Song Yan and Yongning off the carriage.
