At the moment, we need to find out who the old man is who is biased against him.
This is the troubling mystery that Qi Yu desperately wants to solve.
As a result, everything you think about will come true.
Yes, it didn't take long for the answer to this question to be revealed.
According to the feedback from the secret observer, the old man's surname was Yue and his name was Sixian. He was an unemployed old man who had been in office for a long time. However, before leaving the country, he had held some kind of idle position in Zhan Shifu and had interacted with Jin Shang, who was still the prince at the time. It was for this reason that he established his status in the officialdom.
In addition, he has another special identity.
oh?
What is it again?
It is said that the background of this Yue Sixian is quite extraordinary. He is the youngest son-in-law of the late old Cheng'en Gong, that is, the brother-in-law of the deceased Empress Dowager.
According to common people, he was still the brother-in-law of Emperor Taizong and the distant uncle of the late emperor. If we were to care about seniority, today we would still call him uncle.
It can be seen that he is a genuine relative of the emperor.
However, the relationship is a little distant, and now they have become just old relatives resting on their laurels.
After figuring out this complicated relationship, Qi Yu began to think: He and this old man had never had any enmity, so why did he hate him?
Could it be... because of King Yan?
Qi Yu thought about it for a long time, and after ruling out all possibilities, he finally came to a conclusion that was barely reasonable.
Frankly speaking, this speculation is indeed far-fetched and not logically sound.
Qi Yu stroked his beard and asked, "Besides these, what else did you find?"
"Sir, I found some peeled peanut shells in Yue Sixian's yard."
"What? Peanut shells..."
"yes!"
No, this is very wrong!
What exactly is wrong?
Let’s listen to the analysis:
For now, new crops originating from South America are all being bred in Qiongzhou. In order to achieve a more scientific expansion effect, he has issued a so-called advocacy order to increase the amount of grain heap.
Then here comes the problem.
Given such restrictions, how did these peanuts come to the capital?
You should know that there is no land connection between Qiongzhou and the mainland.

, all its external output must be realized through sea transportation based on the terminal. From this point of view, someone should have successfully muddled through.
"Master Qi, Yue Si is so rude to you, do you want to punish him?"
"Forget it, it's really unreasonable to seek revenge for a painting."
Yes, we are broad-minded people, how can we be small-minded?
From a rational point of view, it is really inappropriate to spend too many resources on this trivial matter.
Thinking of this, Qi Yu shook his head calmly, indicating that he was relieved.
There are still important things to do right now, so there is no need to waste time on these unnecessary things.
Important matter?
Yes!
For example, cooking wine promotes weaving.
Just now, Yin Jun had sent a letter saying that His Majesty the Emperor had readily agreed and the time was set for tomorrow evening.
The location was decided at the host Yin Jun's house.
…
The day passed by in a hurry, and the scheduled day of the next day arrived in the blink of an eye.
Because the matter was important, it was advisable to prepare early, so as soon as the sun kissed the west mountain, Qi Yu left home early with his paintings and a mysterious little cloth bag.
As for Yin Jun's house, it was already very busy.
When the emperor comes to his ministers' homes for entertainment, who dares not to pay attention to it? Who dares not to prepare?
"Hey, where do you get so many green vegetables in your house in this winter?" Qi Yu asked Yin Jun after glancing at the servants who were washing vegetables.
"Take a guess!"
"Guess you're a big-headed idiot, why don't you tell me quickly!"
Seeing that he was so confused about the style, Yin Jun immediately lost his desire to show off and explained: "These are the 'hot house' cultivation techniques that my sister taught me through letters. She said that if done properly, it can be done out of season. Those who eat green vegetables, haha, am I awesome?"
The greenhouse he refers to naturally refers to the greenhouse cultivation technology brought about by the room temperature effect.
Hearing him mention Yin Tao, Qi Yu felt an inexplicable feeling of guilt in his heart, as if he owed someone something.
So, after a few compliments, he was busy and inadvertently avoided the topic.
So, how did he get around it?
The mountain man has his own clever plan.
Sure enough, Yin Jun's mind was immediately attracted by a way of eating hot pot mentioned by Qi Yu.
"Village man, is the food cooked like this... really delicious?"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"Of course, am I still lying to you? Don't you know, use the fragrant meat as a base, then simmer it over low heat to make the soup rich and mellow, and then dip the ingredients into the chili sauce. Tsk tsk, that taste, as long as you are not careful, you may swallow your tongue."
Gulu!
Yin Jun's conditioned reflex after hearing the words was that his tongue was not swallowed, but the unsatisfactory saliva was overflowing a lot.
Since there is such delicious food to eat, why don’t you just do it?
Yes, let’s have hot pot!
After a while, the sky was getting dark, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the cold wind blew through, stroking the bare branches.
The evening breeze not only brings a shuddering chill, but also welcomes the arrival of the Long Live Lord.
Gulu!
As soon as he entered the courtyard, the emperor's saliva was aroused by the alluring aroma.
"Huh? This smell... why does it feel better than the craftsmanship of the imperial kitchen?"
"Your Majesty, you are so complimentary. It is poorly cooked and can only be barely eaten."
"..."
After finishing the fight, the emperor followed the two men's lead into the house.
Looking around, he suddenly realized that there were no other people participating in this so-called organization promotion seminar. This was very different from the grand event he had imagined.
A sense of gap suddenly arises.
"Everyone is here?"
"In reply to Your Majesty, everyone is here!"
"oh……"
The emperor couldn't help but stare at Yin Jun, and said with some displeasure: "Why didn't Aiqing explain in advance that there are only three of us in this exchange meeting?"
But the latter replied with an innocent look on his face: "Your Majesty, you didn't even ask me?"
What does it mean?
If I don’t ask, you won’t tell?
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting colder, Qi Yu quickly stood up and came to the rescue: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, it is hard to find a good friend who has a high level of music and a few people. It can be seen that people who share the same interests have been rare since ancient times. In other words, the value of a good friend lies in the quality, not in the number of people. . Just imagine, even if there are a huge crowd of people, no one knows Samadhi, what fun is there in such a gathering?"
Eh...that's right too!
Forget it, since I was tricked by you, I don't care so much anymore.
Just take it as such, I came here specially to have a meal of that, oh...it's called hot pot.
Hey, don’t mention it, it’s really not that delicious.
The emperor took a bite and couldn't stop using his chopsticks.
