Chapter 463 Wandering Taoist Priest

Chapter 463 Wandering Taoist Priest

Gong Yehong's words completely added fuel to the fire, blatantly giving Prince Zhuang eye drops.

Duke Zhenguo and Lord Cao looked at each other and secretly observed a few seconds of silence for King Zhuang.

I haven't recovered from the severe scolding, and now I don't know how I offended the prince of Beiyan. I'm afraid that I'm going to suffer another disaster...

A trace of anger flashed in Emperor Mingde's eyes, which quickly disappeared.

"I welcome you here at any time! Prince Zhuang has a lot of things going on at home recently, and the prince will be more responsible for the places where the reception is not good. I will find someone to accompany the prince for a walk."

"This matter is not urgent. I want to see your Majesty today to ask about food. It has been so many days. Has your Majesty thought it over clearly? Beiyan came here sincerely to ask for cooperation, and he also showed his greatest sincerity, even though the demand is huge. We paid a little, but we didn’t ask for it in vain, and we didn’t refuse it, we paid every penny of it!”

As soon as they heard what was going on, the distracted adults all brightened up and looked over.

What Gong Yehong said is indeed correct, but the problem is that they really can't produce the Dali calendar.

Master Cao couldn't help but say: "We have no objection to what the prince said, but the problem is that ten thousand stones of grain is not a small amount. We can't afford so much now."

Luo Chengwu was a little angry: "If you don't want to say it directly! Why push and push us! Are you treating us Beiyan people like monkeys? I have given you enough time to think about it before, but you are still answering like this. Isn't it that we haven't discussed it yet? How to control us?"

Duke Zhen Guo was also a military general. When he heard Luo Chengwu being disrespectful to them, he couldn't help his temper: "I'm confused. We said we didn't have that much food. Why don't you understand? Why do you have it?" You said we declined? Have you seen our treasury? Did you get under our Majesty’s bed and eavesdrop on our discussions or something?"

Duke Zhen's words not only made Luo Chengwu blush and his neck thicken, but also Emperor Mingde's face darkened.

Seeing that Luo Chengwu's temper was about to explode, Da Sinong behind Gong Yehong quickly reached out to stop him and whispered: "Calm down! You must calm down, don't forget what we said before coming here!"

Gong Yehong frowned: "It's not that we are sure, but someone has said it personally. If you have a good harvest in the Great Calendar, your family will be full of flowers, which is a sign of prosperity."

These words stunned everyone in the palace.

Not having a quarrel? What do you mean by suddenly complimenting us?

No emperor could control the corners of his mouth when he heard this, especially since this person was neither trying to flatter him, nor was he one of his subordinates, but was coming from the mouth of a prince from another country. Emperor Mingde couldn't help it even more.

The anger provoked by Luo Chengwu disappeared immediately. Emperor Mingde looked at Gong Yehong with eyes that could be called 'loving': "Ahem, although the prince's words make my dragon heart happy, the prince still has to seek truth from facts. OK."

Luo Chengwu frowned, "Don't you have something called potatoes and sweet potatoes?"

As soon as Master Cao said this, they were all stunned.

"I wonder what General Luo is talking about?"

Master Cao looked at Luo Chengwu with a look of 'knowledge', which made his heart feel like it was falling into an ice cave.

The smile on Gong Yehong's face could no longer be maintained, "You really don't have one?"

Emperor Mingde frowned. He knew about Tudou. Jiang Qianruo once told him.

But he thought it was a bit exaggerated, and he heard that Hehua had already started trying it in Liangzhou, so he planned to wait until the results were known before announcing it, lest Hehua would be questioned and laughed at.

But this news was not spread to the outside world. How did the prince of Beiyan know about it?

Thinking of the warning that there were spies at the border, Emperor Mingde became solemn and looked at Gong Yehong with burning eyes: "I wonder who said this?"

Luo Chengwu clenched his fingers with anger, and almost gritted his teeth and said: "It's a Taoist priest named Wuyouzi who has traveled around the world. He said that these two crops are produced here. It has a huge yield and is drought-resistant. He also described the shape and taste of the thing to our Majesty, and praised these two things to the sky. Otherwise, why would we have come all the way here!"

The Duke of Zhen looked at him sympathetically: "You have been deceived! We have never heard of this thing! Have you ever seen it after being in the capital for so long?"

Not only that, he also muttered in a low voice: "You can believe what the Taoist priests say, but I don't think the people in Beiyan are very smart..."

"You dare to humiliate our Majesty?!"

Luo Chengwuhu was stunned. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to go up and fight with Duke Zhenguo.

The adults on the side suppressed their smiles and pretended to be peacemakers: "Hey! General Luo, don't be impulsive! If you have anything to say, please say it..."

Gong Yehong couldn't laugh anymore.

That Wuyouzi was accidentally met by the Emperor of Beiyan on the mountain when he went out to hunt. With just one encounter, he revealed the most secret private matters in His Majesty's heart, and then he was brought into the palace by the Emperor of Beiyan. .

Even though it was a palace, Wuyouzi himself lived an extremely free and unrestrained life. He did not seek wealth or power, and it did not matter if he was stared at. He only wanted three meals a day for food and clothing. Although his behavior was a bit crazy, his speech was clear and coherent.

When summoned by the emperor, he would say a few more words if he was in a good mood. Often it was the emperor who was talking or snoring...

At first, I thought he was a charlatan who cheated on food and drink.

As a result, when Wuyouzi calculated that Northern Yan was facing a disaster and was about to suffer from drought, they refused to believe it. They argued in the court for a long time without taking any measures, which resulted in no harvest.

Wuyouzi's subsequent calculations were all very accurate. Only then did they believe him. A few of them stupidly squatted for a long time holding pots of flowers according to the direction calculated by Wuyouzi.

Turns out everything was fake?

Potatoes and sweet potatoes are fake, and Dali's treasury can easily produce 10,000 shi of grain.

It's all false, even the saying 'He who saves the flowers can save the country' is also false?

-

When Ji Changying returned home, she moved the golden branches and jade leaves to a new flowerpot.

Looking at the new seedlings that had grown back, she simply transplanted a few more and planned to give them to Zheng Xiangyi. After all, she had promised her before that she would take this opportunity to do them all.

"Yanyun, you personally deliver this pot of flowers to the post house and give it to the prince of Beiyan. Let Butler Gou send this pot to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion to Princess Kangning."

"Yes!"

After hearing the explanation, Yanyun paid special attention to it, called a little maid, and the two of them went out holding Hua.

She handed over the matter and ignored it. She asked the kitchen at home to prepare food for ten people, and prepared to go to the Criminal Investigation Department to visit Ren Southeast and the others.

In the cell.

Lao Lu was lying leisurely in a clean and tidy cell with a straw in his mouth: "When do you think we can get out? Days like this..."

Before he finished speaking, Ren Dongnan turned his head and looked out of the cell with a solemn expression.

"finally found you."

There was a person standing there, looking at Ren Dongnan as if sighing.
