Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2635 Tradeoffs
His Majesty Li Er stared at the memorial in his hand with wide eyes, feeling unbelievable.

Four hundred catties per mu?

motherfucker!

He was talking about whether Dou Jing would deceive the king, but he knew in his heart that it was absolutely impossible. Fang Jun, Dou Jing and Qing Que were on the side, who would dare to risk such a deceit? Your words?There must be absolutely no falsehood in what is written in the memorial.

"Your Majesty, Dou Siqing has absolutely never deceived the emperor. The minister also brought a piece of sweet potato from the field. According to Fang Shaobao, this thing can also be eaten raw. His Royal Highness King Wei once ate a large piece of sweet potato. It is said to be sweet, crisp and delicious.”

The official of Nasinong Temple took out a piece of sweet potato wrapped in red silk from his arms, carefully unwrapped the red silk, and raised his hands.

The servant stepped forward to take it, and placed it on the desk respectfully.

His Majesty Li Er put down the note in his hand, walked forward, leaned over with his hands behind his back, and carefully looked at this piece of sweet potato... The appearance is really ordinary. It looks like a layer of brown skin is smooth, but there are many bumps. It looked ugly.

After walking around to the desk, he took out a small silver knife, cut off a corner of the sweet potato, and pointed to the servant beside him.

The servant hurried forward, picked up the small piece of sweet potato, put it in his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it...

The previous corn was produced in the field, so it was safe under the eyes of everyone, but this piece of sweet potato was brought from Lishan to Taiji Palace. If someone tampered with it, it would be a big deal.As an emperor, even though he holds the power of the supreme being in the world, he also bears the danger of being unparalleled in the world, and he must beware of danger at all times, especially the things that enter the mouth.

The servant quickly swallowed the sweet potato, and after waiting for a while without any abnormality, His Majesty Li Er picked up the sweet potato, put it to his mouth and took a bite.

"Click"

The taste is crisp, the juice is sweet, and the taste is much better than that of corn.

Especially when thinking of the yield per mu of this thing, my heart trembles...

It is said that blessings come without pairs, and misfortunes never come singly, but why does such auspiciousness that has shone through the past and the present appear again and again?Could it be that God felt that he was kind to the people and diligent in government affairs, but because the Xuanwumen incident had been criticized and scolded by others, he also felt compassionate, so he sent auspiciousness to help him achieve the grand plan and hegemony of an emperor through the ages?

His Majesty Li Er's heart fluttered, he swallowed the sweet potato in his mouth, then put the sweet potato in his hand on the desk, and said to the official of the Si Nong Temple: "Go back and reply to your temple secretary, saying that I have received the memorial. Ask him to prepare a copy and submit it to the Political Affairs Hall, so that the ministers can use it as a record, and I will discuss it with the ministers later on to figure out how to reward him."

"Wei Chen obeys!"

The official bent down to salute, then took three steps back, then turned and went out, and returned to Lishan to report to Dou Jing.

His Majesty Li Er stood in front of the book case with his hands behind his back, looking at the sweet potato with a corner missing on the book case, feeling excited and embarrassed. Of course, he couldn't help complaining: Dou Jing, an old man, was delighted by seeing his achievements, but he was accepted by Fang Jun. Bewitching to add the crown prince's name to the memorandum, even if it means cutting himself off from the nobles of Guanlong, he would not hesitate to do so. He is really dishonest and shameless!
But this credit is real, and it won't take long for it to spread throughout Guanzhong, and then the world will know it. If I can't reward it, I will inevitably be criticized by others.

All these merits that are no less than Houji can be ignored, how can they deserve the word "Ming Jun"?
But once the awards go down, the prince's prestige will inevitably rise instantly, and he will have unparalleled influence among the people. If he thinks about Yi Chu, he has to consider the criticism and resistance from the people—if he wants to achieve the hegemony of an emperor through the ages, he must The power of the people's hearts cannot be ignored. Emperor Sui Yang's achievements are rare throughout the ages, but it is precisely because he perverts the people and wastes money that he has received a lot of scolding.

After all, the common people don’t care whether your political achievements can make the past or the present, if you let everyone have nothing to eat, and even can’t survive, then you are a fool...

His Majesty Li Er was in a dilemma, and he secretly scolded Fang Jun, saying that this bastard insisted on giving up part of his achievements to the prince, otherwise why bother?
After thinking about it, he ordered the servants on the left and right: "Go and invite Duke Ying, Duke Zhao, and Duke Song to the palace, and say that I have something important to discuss."

"Here!"

The servant took the order and hurried to inform the three big brothers.

……

It was just after noon at this time, and several people had just had lunch and took a nap in the mansion, and they got the emperor's oral order, so they hurriedly packed up and came to Taiji Palace.

The three of them happened to meet at the palace gate, greeted each other, and entered the palace together.

His Majesty Li Er summoned him in the Dragon Hall, and once they met, he asked his servant to show the memorial of Dou Jing to the three prime ministers for a closer look, and said: "Wait, wait and see this memorial."

He also ordered people to bring tea, and the four monarchs and ministers sat on the ground without any distinction between monarchs and ministers.

The memorabilia went round in the hands of the three of them. The last Song Guogong, Xiao Yu, finished it, and silently handed the memorandum to the waiter. He lowered his head and took a sip of the tea, then exchanged glances with Li Ji and Changsun Wuji. Everyone was silent.

In their hearts, each set off a stormy sea!
Everyone knows that the navy went to sea to explore the ocean, and they also know that the navy fleet brought back some things from the ocean, most of which were crop seeds, and even the crops planted in Lishan Fangjia Farm, many people went to Lishan I've seen it from afar when I was traveling.

But it is still unbelievable to have such an astonishing output.

Of course, no matter how unbelievable it was, they did not believe that Fang Jun and Dou Jing dared to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor, so the intention of His Majesty Li Er to call the three of them over was obviously not a matter of the high-yield crop itself.

Reminiscent of the prince's name in the memorial...

Xiao Yu knelt on the floor mat, leaned forward, and said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, old minister, congratulations to Your Majesty!"

Changsun Wuji also leaned over and said: "These high-yielding crops are really auspicious, and must be God's protection for His Majesty, who has already completed the grand plan of an emperor through the ages. Although the ministers are heartbroken, they should follow His Majesty and create an unprecedented glory and prosperity!" "

When the two congratulated them, Li Ji could not keep silent, so he could only agree, "Your Majesty has worked so hard to wake up and sleep through the night, to inspire the auspiciousness of heaven and earth to come down into the world, so that the subjects of the world can bathe in the grace of the emperor, long live my emperor!"

His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard, looked at the three court pillars in front of him, his eyes were deep, and he pondered for a while.

Changsun Wuji looked up at His Majesty Li Er's face, straightened his waist slightly, and said slowly: "Jiahe came to the world, it is universal auspiciousness, and it is a supreme merit. However, in this memorial, all the credit is given to the crown prince. However, the veteran thought it was wrong. Fang Jun was the one who pushed the fleet to go to sea at the beginning, and Fang Jun was the one who cultivated the seeds of new crops carefully to make them bear fruitful fruits. Even Sinong Temple was among them There was not much participation, let alone His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Everyone in the government and the public knows about this matter. Now that the meritorious deeds are handed over to the Crown Prince rashly, I am afraid that not only will the Crown Prince not be respected by all people, but it will cause criticism and damage the royal prestige. Your Majesty, please think twice."

Xiao Yu frowned, and immediately said: "Mr. Zhao's words are surprising. Of course Fang Jun presided over sending the boats to sea, but after the fleet returned, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince attached great importance to it. The seeds of the crops should be carefully cultivated, and there should be no negligence. These are all strictly stated in the memorial. As the crown prince, he should sit in the East Palace. He only needs to issue orders and his subordinates will follow the order. Why do you have to do it yourself? As long as you get it under the guidance of the prince The achievements should be attributed to the prince, so what's wrong with that?"

He supported the crown prince, and this memorial was obviously ordered by Fang Junzhi, so how could the grandson Wuji wantonly slander it here, so that the crown prince could not get this great achievement and boost his prestige?

As for whether the crown prince was in a leading position in this matter... Isn't it Fang Jun who has the final say?As long as Fang Jun is willing to give this credit to the prince, it is useless for anyone to object. After all, the cultivation of these crops has been under Fang Jun's control from the very beginning. He said that whoever participated will participate, and vice versa.

Li Ji remained silent.

It was supposed to be a great joyous event celebrated by the whole world, enough to be remembered in history, but now, before there is time to rejoice, endless struggles have begun.

Although Fang Jun and that guy are sometimes willful and unsteady, his political vision is first-class. As long as the crown prince cannot secure the position of crown prince for a day, this kind of struggle will continue forever. If the competition for storage is successful, it will intensify.

What Li Ji is most impatient with is this kind of political struggle. He almost agrees with Fang Jun on this point. Struggles will lead to a lot of internal friction. If these forces are used in foreign wars, it will be enough to make the Great Tang wipe out all the barbarians , overthrow Tubo...
