Fu Huang: Husband, here is a ginseng
Chapter 273 Assassinated
The team walked slowly and quickly all the way, and it took them ten days to cover half the distance.
During these ten days, they encountered three major assassination attempts, and were all killed by Lone Wolf and Canglang, leaving no one alive.
At first, everyone thought they were bandits from the nearby mountains, but when there were more of them, everyone became suspicious.
After three assassination attempts, they finally found their target - Princess Xiangyun Gao Zhijun.
With this suspicion, Murong Yuanbo, Liu Ningchu and Murong Fu began to panic.
Murong Yuanbo asked Gao Zhijun and Liu Ningchu to ride in the same carriage. Looking at her worried parents, Gao Zhijun had to agree.
Murong Yuanbo and Murong Fu were in the carriage protecting Liu Ningchu and Gao Zhijun. Mo Xue and Qinglong were driving the carriage, and whenever there was wind blowing on the grass, they would immediately protect the people in the carriage. Canglang Tianlang rode on horses on both sides of the carriage to protect Gao Zhijun and the others.
When Huo Jinqian saw Zhijun riding in the same carriage with her parents, he had no choice but to go find the prince and ride in the same carriage with him.
Gao Zhijun actually felt that the three assassination attempts were aimed at her, and she suspected that the killers were sent by the Tatars.
The fact that they could find their location accurately meant that the person behind the scenes was in the team, and she suspected it was the second prince.
In order not to alert the enemy, she did not tell her parents about her suspicions, but simply kept herself alert at all times.
Gao Zhijun's suspicion was correct, those killers were sent by the second prince.
His target was Gao Zhijun. He wanted to capture Gao Zhijun and bring her back to Tatar to use for his own purposes.
Minister Liu and the Minister of Agriculture hurried on and finally returned to the capital after fifteen days of walking.
After pulling the rice and sweet potatoes back to the Ministry of Revenue, he went back home to wash up before entering the palace to see the emperor.
"Your Majesty, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long, long live the emperor!"
Minister Liu entered the imperial study and immediately saluted the emperor.
"I love you!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After Minister Liu finished speaking, he stood up.
"My dear, you are back. Did you bring back the rice?"
The emperor asked Minister Liu anxiously.
"Your Majesty, we have brought back not only rice, but also another high-yield grain. With hybrid rice and sweet potatoes, the people of Daliang will no longer have to go hungry."
Minister Liu excitedly reported to the emperor.
"Sweet potato? What is that? Tell me how it can be so productive."
When the emperor heard that this was unprecedented grain, he asked Minister Liu anxiously.
"Your Majesty, you would never imagine that the yield of sweet potatoes is 3,000 kilograms per mu, and it tastes sweet and sticky, can be stored for a long time, and can be eaten by both the elderly and children. The yield of rice is 2,005 kilograms per mu. And the grains are plump."
Minister Liu reported the production of sweet potatoes and rice to the emperor.
After the rice was dried, it weighed 2,005 kilograms, which is a good yield.
"What? Sweet potatoes yield 3,000 kilograms per mu? Rice also yields 2,000 kilograms per mu? Take me to see what kind of magical thing it is that can produce such a high yield."
After hearing this, the emperor was very pleased. He was restless at the moment, and he just wanted to see the sweet potatoes and rice.
"Your Majesty, please don't worry. The grain is in the Ministry of Revenue. I will take Your Majesty there."
Seeing the emperor so happy that he wanted to see sweet potatoes, Minister Liu had no choice but to take the emperor to the Ministry of Revenue.
The emperor staggered along the way and was so excited that he almost fell down. Minister Liu wanted the emperor to ride in the dragon chariot, but he was too excited and didn't want to sit and wanted to walk.
"Your Majesty, walk slowly, look at the ground, and don't fall."
Eunuch Zhang followed behind and said terrifiedly.
The way the emperor walked, he was really worried that he would fall.
"No! I will be careful!"
The emperor spoke as he walked, without looking back at Eunuch Zhang.
Not long after, they arrived at the Ministry of Revenue.
When the officials of the Ministry of Revenue saw the emperor coming to the Ministry of Revenue, they knelt down in fear and said, "Your Majesty, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long, long live the emperor!"
"My dear, please stand up! No need to be so polite!"
The emperor spoke as he walked.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The officials from the Ministry of Revenue stood up and looked at the emperor's receding back. They looked at each other, wondering why the emperor came here.
"Your Majesty, it's right here."
When they arrived at the place where the grain was stored, Minister Liu took the emperor in.
When the emperor saw the workers of the Ministry of Revenue moving sweet potatoes, he walked over and looked at the strange-looking sweet potatoes, some of which were as big as fists and weighed about two pounds.
“That’s a sweet potato, isn’t it?”
The emperor pointed at the sweet potatoes that were being moved and asked Minister Liu excitedly.
"Yes, Your Majesty! Sweet potatoes can not only be eaten raw, but also cooked and steamed, and can be used to make many other dishes."
Minister Liu told the emperor the various ways of cooking sweet potatoes that Gao Zhijun had told him.
"Eat it raw? Let me try!"
The emperor came to the basket of sweet potatoes and took out a big and plump one. He couldn't let it go and touched it left and right.
Minister Liu quickly fetched some water and picked up a small sweet potato, which was round and plump and very pleasing to the eye.
Eunuch Zhang washed the sweet potatoes, wiped off the water with a towel, and then handed them to the emperor.
The emperor took a light bite and it made a crisp sound. It was sweet, crispy and made a rustling sound when he chewed it.
Delicious, really delicious!
The emperor took one bite after another, and soon he had eaten the whole sweet potato.
He wanted to eat more, but was stopped by Minister Liu.
"Your Majesty, you can't eat too many raw sweet potatoes, otherwise there will be little bugs in your stomach. It's better to cook them!"
"Lord Liu, you are so bold! There will be bugs if you eat it raw, and you dare to feed it to the emperor. You have ulterior motives!"
Eunuch Zhang turned pale with fear, his body trembled, and he angrily scolded Minister Liu.
After hearing this, the emperor's heart skipped a beat and a trace of fear surged in his heart.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. This is my fault. There are indeed bugs when eating raw food, but that is because you eat too much. Your Majesty only ate a small one, so there are no bugs at all. The Minister of Agriculture and I also ate two, and we are all fine. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Minister Liu explained in fear.
He was careless. In his joy and excitement, he forgot that he was the emperor, the supreme ruler, and he couldn't eat anything.
