Chapter 204: The prince doesn’t know what shame is
The fourteenth elder brother also winked at the fourth elder brother.
Lu Pheasant looked at Concubine De in front of him.
Concubine De couldn't help but want to cover her face.
When the emperor heard this, his face, originally filled with impatience, suddenly calmed down.
His princes are not all brothers who fight against each other.
Behind the fourth elder brother, there are four younger elder brothers, the tenth, the twelfth, the thirteenth, and the fourteenth elder brother, who are willing to stand up for him in front of hundreds of officials.
The third elder brother and the fifth elder brother were not shy before, and pledged the red paper to the fourth elder brother's rice.
Kangxi understood his son.
Unlike the eighth elder brother who was raised in Yanxi Palace, who was effeminate and smooth-faced, the fourth elder brother was cold-faced and taciturn, until there were rumors that he was violent and cruel by nature.
Have these princes who are willing to support Fourth Prince all seen how good Fourth Prince is?
In fact, the two legitimate sons and eldest son, the prince and eldest brother, were not affectionate enough towards their younger brothers.
Only then would they rather stand behind the cold Fourth Brother.
Thinking of this, the emperor's expression became colder: "The prince, eldest brother, and even the fourteenth son have been selected. Do you still recognize the rice seeds that you have overseen for several months?"
The prince and the eldest brother saw that this plant looked similar to that one, and they really couldn't make up their minds.
The prince captured Gelfen.
But it was obvious that Gelfin had been shocked by the Grand Master's question just now. He was trembling for a long time, but he couldn't recognize him.
As for Nalan Kuifang, under the glare of his father Nalan Mingzhu, he wandered around his father-in-law, Prince Kang, trying hard to show his kindness.
However, Prince Kang always turned his back to him and did not give him any chance to talk.
After the Fourteenth Prince, the Fourth Prince also quickly placed a blue note with "四" written on the rice seed he selected.
Gao Shiqi also praised the emperor: "If you don't mention anything else, the word Si Age is really excellent."
The corner of the emperor's mouth raised slightly: "It's not as good as Shi Qi's calligraphy, but it's pretty good."
Ethan Awen said gently: "Prince, eldest brother, no matter what, you must choose one of them."
When the prince and eldest brother saw that Kangxi's expression softened, they casually selected a plant that was not one of the other brothers' plants and wrote their serial numbers on it.
Zhang Yushu signaled the agriculturists to write the serial number on the identified rice seeds on white slips of paper and place them under the rice plants.
The agriculturists elected a representative and came out: "The emperor, ministers and others reached an agreement after discussion and determined that there are three kinds of rice seeds present."
"Among them, No. 3 rice seed cannot be left as seed, and has the highest yield and the best resistance to pests."
"In addition, both No. 1 and No. 2 rice seeds can be left as seeds, and the yields are about the same as those of No. 3 rice seeds."
It is consistent with the output calculated by the Ministry of Revenue Cangchang Yamen and the three princes.
The emperor nodded: "Liang Jiugong, let's test it."
Liang Jiugong inspected again. He looked at the expressions of the princes present, starting from the disinterested younger brothers who selected the plants: "Brother Fourteen, select...the No. 3 rice plant in Brother Four's flower house."
"Thirteenth Brother, select... the No. 3 rice plant in the Fourth Brother's greenhouse."
"Brother Twelve, select...the number one rice plant in Brother Four's greenhouse."
"Tenth Brother, select... the No. 2 rice plant in the Fourth Brother's flower house."
…
Hearing this, the faces of the prince, elder brother and others present turned green.
In Brother Si's greenhouse, there are actually three varieties of rice.
Liang Jiugong paused for a while and inspected the plants chosen by Si Age one by one: "Brother Si, select...the No. 3 rice plant in the greenhouse."
"Select, the No. 2 rice plant in the bad field."
"Select, the No. 1 rice plant in the fertile field."
"Select, the No. 3 rice plant in the fertile field."
…
Brother Si picked out three varieties of rice he owned.
Never wrong.
This can corroborate the facts stated by Si Age earlier.
Liang Jiugong slowed down his breathing and walked up to the prince and eldest brother, fearing that his wrong move would offend these two masters who already had extremely bad faces.
"Brother, select the number one plant in the fertile field."
"Prince, select the No. 2 plant in the fertile field."
They were relieved at first, at least they didn't choose Si Age's No. 3 rice seed.
The directionality of rice seed No. 3 is too clear.
Then, Liang Jiugong walked to the remaining rice plants that were not selected. His movements became slower and more precise, not daring to make any mistakes.
He showed the white note on the first pot: "Belongs to Prince Rice, Liangtian No. 1 rice seed."
"The second pot belongs to Prince Rice, the No. 1 rice seed from the bad field."
It was verified that the excellent seed bred by the Hesheli brothers for the prince was No. 1.
"The third pot belongs to the big brother's rice, the second rice seed in Liangtian."
"The fourth pot belongs to the big brother's rice, the second rice seed in the bad field."
It was verified that the superior variety cultivated by Nalan Kuifang for his eldest brother was No. 2.
…
"The fifth pot belongs to the fourth brother's rice, and the third rice in the fertile field."
"The sixth pot belongs to the fourth brother's rice, and the second rice in the bad field."
"The seventh basin belongs to the fourth brother's rice, and the No. 1 rice in the bad field."
…
The fourth brother planted all three types of rice, which again matched the rice type he selected.
The facts are before our eyes.
"That's enough!" The emperor interrupted Liang Jiugong's verification, "Prince, eldest brother, you just choose each other's rice seeds."
"Can you tell me how your rice seeds ended up in Yinzhen's field?"
Lu Pheasant thought, where can the rice seeds escape?
It's just a trick used by people to try to change the situation.
The eldest elder brother was still insisting: "Khan Ama, shouldn't I ask the fourth brother about this... the matter in the fourth brother's field?"
How can the fourth elder brother be afraid: "As for Khan Ama, the rice seeds given to Erchen by the mysterious man are different. Erchen only found out after testing."
"He refused to give me a way to contact him, saying that he could only come to him."
"For the sake of good breeding, I dare not disturb the mysterious man."
"Are you hiding this from me?" Kangxi's anger was really hard to get rid of, and his tone was indifferent.
The fourth elder brother could only kneel down again: "Khan Ama, I was too cautious, I know I was wrong."
What else could Kangxi say? He wanted to smash things, but what was in front of him was either high-yield rice seeds or high-yielding crops. He couldn't smash the beads and winter hats he was wearing: "Then Prince and Eldest Brother, do you know your mistake?"
The prince also knelt down: "Khan Amar, I have been deceived by brothers Gelfen and Aljishan."
"I didn't know they dared to steal rice seeds to claim credit."
"The fourth brother is indeed too cautious. If Gelfen and the others hadn't seen through it, perhaps all of us would have been kept in the dark by the fourth brother."
"I still don't know that there are such high-yielding rice varieties and crops in the world. Isn't this a loss to all people?"
The prince's mind was not slow at all.
Lu Pheasant thought to himself, the first sentence was to shirk responsibility, and the second sentence started to put the blame on the little beloved.
Aixinjueluo Yinreng really doesn’t know what shame is!
Queen Lu was a little angry in her heart.
She didn't know that what made her even more angry was yet to come.
