I am the censor, at the beginning I denounced the empress

Chapter 29 Pharmacist Li came back at the wrong time

Gods.

South Gate.

After rushing all the way, Li Yaoshi, who returned to Shendu, looked at the city gate in front of him and let out a long breath.

Although tired, but between the brows, there is a sense of relaxation and comfort.

Behind him, hundreds of carts stretched endlessly.

The guards of the city gate hurried forward to inquire. Hearing that Li Yaoshi had brought Xiangrui back from Hebei to make offerings, he just checked to make sure there was no hidden weapon and let him go immediately.

As for the red-skinned fruit on the cart, they didn't take it seriously, and even looked down upon it.

"Li Yaoshi, a vulgar man, went to Hebei Road and took some unknown wild fruits as auspicious signs. He is really not afraid of embarrassment."

"Hush, keep your voice down, no matter what, he is also Fengge's servant."

"So what about Fengge's servant, he can't lead the army, he will end up with an embroidered pillow."

……

In the palace, Sanqing Hall.

The empress did not have a court meeting for several days, and she was recuperating in the Sanqing Palace.

"Holy."

Shangguan Wan'er knelt on the ground and whispered, "Tang Can has arrived at the Jinshui River."

"Ah."

The empress flipped through the book without pausing, while reading, she asked, "Did he say anything?"

"He said the Holy Majesty is a foolish king."

Seeing that she was about to die, Shangguan Wan'er didn't try to hide anything.

"Ah."

The empress agreed, noncommittal.

Shangguan Wan'er continued: "Tang Can asked to see Yan Liben, so I ordered someone to invite him over."

"Oh."

The empress promised again, and continued to turn the pages of the book without speaking.

Shangguan Wan'er waited for a while, then boldly looked up.

The book in the Empress's hand was clearly held upside down.

Holy Majesty, she... is still reluctant to give up after all.

"If nothing happens, please step back. I want to be quiet."

In the end, he ruined a rare talent in governing the world, and the heart of the empress could never be calm.

"One more thing."

Shangguan Wan'er sighed inwardly, and said in a low voice: "Qin Tianjian's little book bag said that there will be a star falling, I'm afraid it's a bad omen."

The empress flicked the book for a moment.

Tang Can's death would have such a big impact!
At this moment, Shangguan Wan'er's body shook, her face was full of shock, and she blurted out: "Your Majesty, Xie Anshi led all the officials outside the Dragon Palace, admonishing to death!"

what!
The empress suddenly raised her head, the murderous intent in her eyes was undisguised!
Obviously, Xie Anshi's actions made her even more afraid of Tang Can!

The trace of remorse that had just arisen suddenly disappeared.

Tang Can must die.

Shangguan Wan'er's expression became strange again, and she said in amazement: "Li Yaoshi, Gao Yuanyi, please see me."

"Li Yaoshi claimed that the [-] acres of auspicious trees planted in Hebei Road before had a good harvest."

"The grain production is nearly 20 catties. According to the tax law of our dynasty, the tax is one tax per ten. All the [-] catties have been transported to Shendu and dedicated to the Holy One."

Xu Shi's numbers were too shocking, and Shangguan Wan'er's voice was a little hoarse.

what?
The female emperor suddenly stood up and asked: "How much!"

Shangguan Wan'er swallowed her saliva and said in shock, "20 catties, [-] catties of tax and grain!"

At this time, Tang Can's life and death are no longer important.

If this auspiciousness is true, it will be comparable to the waterwheel developed by Tang Can!

No, it's better than being in a waterwheel!

Great Liang, will flourish!
"pass!"

The empress, who had avoided seeing her for many days, finally summoned her.

Gao Yuanyi, king of Liang, and Li Yaoshi, who is full of dust and dust, appeared in the Sanqing Palace.

"Sir, see the Holy One."

"Get up and talk."

Thinking about the auspiciousness, the Empress became excited, and asked straightforwardly: "Li Yaoshi, the auspiciousness you said, the yield of 20 mu is [-] catties, and [-] catties will be transported to Shendu, is it true?"

"It's absolutely true." Li Yaoshi said seriously: "All the sweet potatoes are outside the city gate and can be transported into the palace under the decree of the Holy Emperor."

"Okay, okay, okay!" The empress waved her hand without hesitation: "Pass!"

Of course, it is impossible to move [-] catties of sweet potatoes to Sanqing Hall at once. Only a female official brought several baskets of sweet potatoes to Sanqing Hall.

The empress took it with her hand and looked at it. She was not big, but the size of her palm.

After smelling it, there was only an earthy smell, and he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Is this thing really edible?"

"My Majesty, steaming, cooking, and roasting are both acceptable, but roasted ones are the most delicious." Li Yaoshi said seriously.

Gao Yuan echoed with a smile: "That's right, on the way here just now, Pharmacist Li ate a piece of roasted sweet potato for me, it was sweet and soft, very delicious!"

The Empress was moved by hearing this, and blurted out: "Is there any more?"

"There is one more."

Pharmacist Li took out a roasted sweet potato that had been completely cooled from his arms, and handed it to the empress.

He reached out and took it, breaking it in two.

Inside, golden-red flesh.

A sweet aroma came to the nostrils.

The empress raised her eyebrows, pinched a piece with her hand, and tasted it for a while.

"it is good!"

After taking a bite, the empress looked happy.

Did not expect, did not expect!
Xiangrui, who initially thought it was a joke, turned out to be real!

Thinking of this, the empress is in a good mood!

Immediately, even the bad mood Tang Can brought to her disappeared a lot.

But then, when she thought of something, the empress's face suddenly changed and she asked coldly: "Mr. Li, you are lying to me!"

"I don't understand." Li Yaoshi looked confused.

"Don't understand?" The Empress sneered: "Mr. Li, do you think I don't understand farming?"

"It's only been two months, two months since you sent the letter and found the good seed. So much harvest, do you think it's credible?"

The empress looked proud of having exposed Li Yaoshi's lie.

Li Yaoshi, who was a little nervous because of the empress's sudden anger before, felt relieved when he heard her question, and immediately explained.

"My lord, when Tang Yushi handed over the grain seeds to the ministers, he said that it would take three months to harvest, and then the yield would be more than [-] catties per mu."

"Some time ago, Tang Yushi sent a message, saying that the minister would lead someone to dig it out. If it had grown to the size of a child's palm, he would dig it out first and use it as a grain seed, and send it to him before winter. Farming in Huainan Road, in order to save some money and food for Huainan Road, and subsidize Annan’s military supplies.”

"That's why I asked people to start digging."

"The effect is good, so I hurriedly set off and came back."

"Another [-] catties have been transported from Hebei Road to Huainan Road."

As he explained, the faces of the Empress and Gao Yuanyi became a little more exciting.

In two months, in just two months, the output was 20 jin!

This number is not only amazing, but also comparable to a miracle!
Especially... there is something about Tang Can!
Tang Can?

By the way, Tang Can!

The Empress's heart tightened, and she hurriedly asked: "Li Yaoshi, Tang Can really did this?"

"I don't dare to talk nonsense. This matter was sent by Tang Can from Shendu to Hedong, and there are letters to prove it."

While speaking, Pharmacist Li took out the letter from his arms again.

The empress reached out to take it, and with just one glance, she was sure it was written by Tang Can.

Regardless of the handwriting or the randomness of the writing.

Up and down in Great Liang, there is no second person.

broken!

broken!

"Wan'er!" The empress didn't care about losing her composure, and hurriedly ran to the imperial case, slapped her heavily, and said in a voiceless voice, "Go quickly, save Tang Can!"

Shangguan Wan'er hid under the case and did not dare to come out at all, so she hurriedly communicated with the shadow hidden in the darkness.

In mid-air, a somewhat old voice sounded: "Your Majesty, slave!"

call……

Hearing his voice, the Empress breathed a sigh of relief.

But immediately after, the bell rang at noon, the empress' body trembled, and a feeling of powerlessness came to her heart.

He leaned on the table and almost fell down.

His face was as pale as paper.

I...what on earth have I done!
"Gao Yuanyi! Why didn't you say it earlier! Li Yaoshi, why didn't you come back sooner!"

Up to now, the empress began to push the pot.

She didn't want to be charged with killing Tang Can.

This crime is too great for her to bear...

Xie Anshi, with a bitter mouth, had nothing to say.

At this moment, he is also extremely annoyed!
If he had known that Sweet Potato was created by Tang Can to fight against the Empress, he would have saved Tang Can!
Even if the empress used that absurd prophecy, it wouldn't work.

But now, it's too late, and he can only pray...

Pharmacist Li looked puzzled.

However, from the few words between the two of them, he also felt that something bad was happening...
