"...Based on the above, I can conclude that these types of grains can be generalized, not only in Dongdu, but also in all places. The only difference is the difference in yield. Generally speaking, the yield in the south is higher than that in the east." In the north, with the exception of corn, the output value of the north is much higher than that of the south. There are physical evidences for all of this. If the Queen Mother doesn’t believe it, she can send someone to investigate in detail!"
Li Xian ignored the chaotic discussions of his ministers and workers and read out the reports from the six governors one by one. At the end, he gave a conclusion with great confidence.
"Okay, okay, this is really a divine thing given to me by God in the Tang Dynasty. Lin Hu deserves to be rewarded for being able to accomplish his deeds without fear of life and death! According to my decree, I will grant him the title of Marquis of Guannei, Yin Yizi!"
Not only were the courtiers excited when they heard this, but Emperor Gaozong was also excited. Without waiting for anything from Empress Wu, he immediately agreed to Li Xianzhi's request.
"My son, I would like to thank my father for your kindness. However, there is one more thing for which I must ask my father's permission."
Although it is important to ask for credit for Lin Hu, it is not the most fundamental purpose of Li Xian's big move. Seeing that Gaozong was already in high spirits, Li Xian was naturally ready to strike while the iron was hot.
"If my son has anything to say, just play it. I'm listening."
Gaozong was in a good mood at this time, and he became more and more pleased with Li Xian, so he would not refuse Li Xian's request.
"I would like to inform my father, although these species are all excellent species and are very convenient for planting, they do have some disadvantages. If they are blindly promoted without control, they may lead to disasters, but we must investigate them."
Li Xian always has a purpose in doing things. The launch of so many high-quality seeds in such a grand and grand manner is naturally not only to benefit the people, but also to meet his own needs. Seeing that the time has matured, Li Xian is naturally eager to It's time to get ready for the main course.
"Oh? How do you say this?"
Gaozong had tasted the food personally and witnessed the huge harvest with his own eyes. At this moment, his heart and eyes were full of excitement. But when he heard Li Xian's words were quite strange, he couldn't help but froze for a moment and looked suspiciously. He looked at Li Xian and asked in confusion.
"Father, I know clearly that although the requirements for soil fertility of the crops here are not high, if we can cultivate it intensively, the yield can be increased to a higher level, and the harvested green stalks and other things can also be used as feed, green manure, etc. Firstly, these plants are useful; secondly, these plants are edible and delicious. However, if they are not stored properly, they can easily change. In the case of potatoes, the yield is amazing, but once the tubers sprout, they are poisonous. As for sweet potatoes, corn, peanuts, etc., although their buds are non-toxic, once they become moldy, they cannot be eaten, and those who eat them will suffer great harm. Confucius said: If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. In order to avoid public resentment, Erchen proposed to use Sinong Temple as the foundation to form a promotion agency to carry out promotion matters. Knowing farming, it is impossible to take on this important task, but I can't believe it. However, Di Renjie, the governor of Qingzhou, is very responsible and has personally promoted the cultivation of various plants. Therefore, I think he is a suitable candidate, and I sincerely ask my father, the Emperor, to Break!"
The dagger appeared in the picture. After Li Xian's words, he finally revealed the true purpose of this feast with great force, which was to use the promotion of various plants to openly insert his hand into the court situation!
"Well, in my opinion..."
When Di Renjie was the young minister of Dali Temple, he was always known for his strong ability to do things. Although Gaozong rarely dealt with the affairs of the court, he had a good impression of him. At this time, when he heard that Li Xian recommended him, it was natural.
That is to say, this is a satisfactory place
He nodded and was about to agree with what Li Xianzhi had said. However, before he finished speaking, he suddenly found that Empress Wu was tugging at her robe under the stone table. Her expression froze involuntarily, and she could no longer say anything else.
Already.
"How can Xian'er be such a great person? It's not up to you to comment on what the important ministers of the imperial court are capable of or not. How crazy!"
Emperor Gaozong failed to see Li Xian's true intentions, but when Empress Wu heard this, she was completely awakened. She saw that Li Xian was about to reach his hand into his bowl, how could he really do it?
After realizing what Li Xian wanted, he lowered his face and scolded Li Xian unceremoniously.
"Mother, please calm down. I don't dare to be rude or illegal. What I said is only true!"
Others were afraid of Empress Wu's majesty, but Li Xian didn't pay attention to it at all. Besides, when it came time to see Tu Qiong, Li Xian didn't need to be polite to Empress Wu. Of course, it was the proper etiquette.
But it is indispensable. After all, "filial piety" must be shown when it is time to show it. Therefore, although Li Xian was very respectful, he did not mean to back down at all in his words.
"According to the truth? It's such a fact. Why can't I see the truth? I'm trying to show my godmother that I'm so good at it."
Empress Wu was very scheming and would not get angry easily, but this time she was so angry by Li Xian's actions that she could no longer bear it. Regardless of the fact that all the important ministers of the third rank and above in the court were present,
He scolded Li Xian with a livid face, making it clear that he wanted to severely humiliate Li Xian's face in order to thwart his attempt to get involved in the court situation.
What an old thief, she actually resorted to the tactics of a shrew, she was so shameless! When he heard Empress Wu's nonsense words, no matter how deep the city was, Li Xian couldn't help but get angry. Of course, he was angry.
Angry, Li Xianque
She would not lose her composure because of this. She let out a breath, suppressed the irritability in her heart, bowed to Empress Wu with great humility, and said unhurriedly: "The Empress has a question,
I dare not not answer. In my opinion, I am an official.
The first priority is moral character, followed by ability. In terms of moral character, Wei Sinong is not a pure minister. According to Erchen’s understanding, he often goes in and out of brothels and is a frequent visitor. For literati, he may be considered a romantic.
Being unruly is considered inappropriate for an official
So far, as for virtuous people, let alone talk about it. After three years of serving as an official, he has served vegetarian meals, but has no commendable political achievements. What a difference between a submissive person and the capable Judge Di. Such a person.
To be ranked so high in the temple is really a shame to the Tang Dynasty!"
"Is there any evidence for Xian'er's statement?"
Gaozong himself was very romantic, but he never wanted to see his ministers hanging around brothels. When he heard what Li Xian said, he immediately became angry. No matter how ugly Empress Wu's face was, she interrupted him.
One sentence.
"When I return to my father, I dare not lie to my father. This matter is well-documented. If my father doesn't believe it, he can order a thorough investigation and we will definitely get some clues!"
Li Xian had a grand plan, so he naturally did not dare to make any mistakes. He had already done enough homework, so how could he worry about not being able to find evidence of Wei Jingye's improper behavior?
"The bastards are doing some bastard things with the salary from the imperial court. What are these people doing here? They are going to Dali Temple to carry out my decree and conduct a thorough investigation. If it is true, we will deal with it strictly!"
As soon as Gaozong became angry, he didn't care whether Empress Wu was happy or not. He slapped her several times and ended Wei Jingye's career in one sentence.
"Your Majesty, calm down. There may be a misunderstanding here. It's better to check first before making a decision."
Empress Wu didn't know whether Wei Jingye often visited the brothel, but when she heard Li Xian's words for sure, she thought it might be good. She knew that the situation might be lost, but she didn't want to expand the matter, no matter what.
She said that Wei Jingye was one of her subordinates and should help, but he also had to protect her, so he interrupted her.
"What the Empress Mother said is true. However, the matter of promoting improved seeds cannot be delayed. I think this matter must be dealt with urgently. I beg my father and the Empress to order Di Renjie to come to the court to take charge of the overall situation."
Empress Wu wanted to reconcile with Xi Ni, but Li Xian didn't want the matter to be discussed any further. If it were to be discussed again and again, the day lily would probably be cold, so he immediately stood up and proposed again.
"Well, I'm sure. I'll tell you my will when I get back."
Gaozong originally wanted to support Li Xian, not only to promote good breeding, but also to form a balance between Li Xian and Empress Wu in the court situation, but he had not been able to find anyone to support Li Xian's rise earlier.
It was a good opportunity. Seeing that Li Xian had successfully suppressed Empress Wu's fierce counterattack, he was happy to take advantage of the situation.
"My father is wise, my sons and ministers accept the decree and express gratitude."
Li Xian organized such a large battle for this purpose. Hearing that Gaozong had already made up his mind, he was in a good mood and did not give Empress Wu a chance to interrupt again, so he hurriedly thanked him.
This matter was completely finalized.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Empress Wu couldn't help but become a little anxious. However, Gao Zong had already made up his mind, but she couldn't disagree with Gao Zong in public. In desperation, she could only give Jia Chaoyin another suggestive look.
.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say."
Jia Chaoyin had just received a sap from Li Xian and was worried that Li Xian would settle the score with him. After all, everyone knew about Li Xian's ruthless methods. However, Empress Wu had orders, but he did not dare to disobey them and could only act forcefully.
I stood up again with my scalp shaved.
"Hmm? What's the matter with Aiqing?"
Jia Chaoyin jumped out to interrupt him several times. Even though Gaozong had a good temper, he was still a little annoyed. He glanced at Jia Chaoyin with an unhappy expression and said with strong dissatisfaction.
"Your Majesty, I think that the various kinds of fine seeds discovered by His Highness the Crown Prince are indeed a great thing, but water far away cannot quench the thirst nearby. It will be a great good in the future, but it cannot solve the current disaster. Previously, His Highness the Crown Prince said to himself
It can alleviate the disaster, but Wei Chen can't see the reason, and just wants to ask His Highness the Crown Prince to give an explanation to Wei Chen."
Although Jia Chaoyin was quite courageous, he couldn't help but shudder when Gaozong's cold eyes glanced at him. However, at this point, he had no choice but to retreat and could only grit his teeth and force himself to be calm.
He spoke in a state of silence.
"Well, that's right, Xian'er..."
Being reminded by Jia Chaoyin, Gaozong also remembered his original intention of coming to the East Palace for the banquet. He turned his head to look at Li Xian and wanted to ask what happened. However, before he finished speaking, he saw the expression on the face of a servant.
He rushed in from the outside in a panic, and couldn't help but pause in his words.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something serious has happened. A large number of victims are gathering towards the East Palace. The Yulin Army will soon be unable to suppress them!"
The attendant stumbled to the pavilion, and without waiting for Gaozong to ask questions, he started shouting in a panic.
"What?"
When Emperor Gaozong heard this, he was immediately frightened, jumped up suddenly, and his face instantly turned pale...
