Zuodu Yushi frowned slightly. He did not expect that His Majesty would have such an indifferent attitude, and that despite so many officials, he would still remain unfailingly protective...
Fortunately, he did not go down personally, but let other officials from his faction speak out.
Many officials looked at each other, and some officials wanted to stand up and continue to impeach Gu Lan.
But more smart people already know that His Majesty's attitude is very obvious. Just interfering in the internal affairs of the Nether Clan will have almost no impact on Gu Lan... Talking too much will only be detrimental to himself.
"I already know what you are talking about. I will tell Gu Aiqing after the court meeting is over, but what else is there?"
Mu Yuyan calmly stopped everyone's desire to continue the impeachment, and even stopped pursuing Gu Lan if he didn't come to court.
No matter how stupid they are, they know that their public opinions cannot shake the empress's "stubborn and paranoid" trust in Gu Lan.
With a smile on his face, Sima Qin stood up and said: "Your Majesty, since the Nether Clan has surrendered to our Dajing, they naturally belong to our people of Dajing and must be governed by the laws of Dajing. In the Imperial City of Dajing, They actually tried to use their power to break the legs of the people of Dajing. I think King Jingyang did the right thing. He upheld the laws of Dajing and let the guilty people be punished!"
"So not only is King Jingyang not guilty, but he has merit and should be rewarded!" He showed a meaningful smile and looked at the many officials kneeling to impeach him.
These people have been blinded by jealousy. They just can't bear to see Gu Lan being able to directly claim the title of king and sit on top of all of them.
The old fox was glad that he knew Gu Lan's details.
Otherwise, he might not be able to grasp such a good performance opportunity.
Feeling Sima Qin's gaze, the kneeling officials could only endure it no matter how unwilling they were.
Both His Majesty and the Prime Minister sided with Gu Lan, and there was basically no way they could resist.
"My dear friends, what do you think of what the Prime Minister said?" There was a hint of severity in Mu Yuyan's tone, and everyone couldn't help but tremble.
Zuodu Yushi's eyes were profound. He knew that the situation was over, and he quickly relented and said: "What your Majesty and the Prime Minister said is absolutely true. King Jingyang's move is not only faultless, but also meritorious."
The Censor of Zuodu did not express his position before, so as not to completely fall out with the forces on the other side and leave some room for maneuver.
"The Censor of Zuodu also agrees with the Prime Minister's opinion? So it seems that you, the subordinates of the Dudu Procuratorate, were slandering the heroes and framing the princes? Huh?"
Mu Yuyan smiled calmly and said, of course it was impossible for a guy like him who immediately rebelled when the situation was bad to hide it from her.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
The Censor of Zuo Du's eyes narrowed, and he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "The Censor of the Ducha Yuan has always heard the news and reported it. They also listened to the public opinion below and wanted to make decisions for the people and respond to the people's wishes. That's why they impeached King Jingyang. Please also ask Your Majesty to clearly demonstrate the loyalty of our Metropolitan Procuratorate!"
"What a person who makes decisions for the people and is loyal!"
Mu Yuyan smiled slightly and said coldly, "The Metropolitan Procuratorate can report on the matter and it is not guilty, but what about you? When did you officials from various ministries start to work as censors?"
She pointed at the other officials who were secretly entangled by Luo Chen and others. These people were not censors. They could impeach others if they wanted to, but they had to provide evidence!
For a moment, all the officials were silent. They were so arrogant and proud just now, and so looking forward to Gu Lan's dismounting, but now they are so worried!
They never expected that they were clearly impeaching King Jingyang for disrupting the imperial court and oppressing the people. Why would the charges now fall on themselves and others?
The neutral officials even smiled as they watched this good show.
However, in their hearts, Gu Lan's importance has been raised to a higher level again. Your Majesty attaches great importance to Gu Lan. Not only does he have the title of king, he also has great privileges!
This person cannot be messed with in Dajing.
Fortunately, Mu Yuyan did not insist on punishing hundreds of officials. After all, there were many officials who knelt down to impeach Gu Lan. She could not punish them all, so she could just raise them to warn them.
Picking it up heavily and putting it down gently is the way of the emperor.
Therefore, Mu Yuyan announced: "Everyone involved in the impeachment of Gu Aiqing will be fined for three years, and this matter will be over!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
Mu Yuyan nodded, did not pursue further, and asked the Ministry of Household Affairs: "Have the new rice seeds and the farming method of mulberry fish ponds been thoroughly implemented by the Ministry of Household Affairs?"
The eyes of Shangshu Hube brightened, and he immediately said with a smile: "Reporting to your Majesty, this new type of rice seed, which is what your Majesty calls magic rice, is really amazing! This year, Mr. Yu from the Ministry of Industry will take the lead, and I, Mr. Hube, will Yes, let all the people start planting magic rice."
"At first, the people were still doubtful, fearing that there would be no harvest and they would miss out on farming. With His Majesty's decree, the consequences of no harvest were endorsed by the imperial court, so the people dared to plant. But they didn't expect that during the autumn harvest this year, the magic rice they planted would produce so much rice. There are more than thirty times more spikes than in previous years!
Not only that, the maturity cycle of magic rice is one-third faster than that of ordinary rice. In some areas in the south, it can even be harvested twice a year! "
"hiss!!"
After hearing the report from the Minister of Revenue, many officials widened their eyes and took a breath of the sandalwood in the Golden Palace!
Is this magic rice really that magical?
Thirty times more harvest?
Ripening time shortened by a third?
Did you hear that right? !
Only Mu Yuyan showed a clear smile and thought to herself: "It's exactly what my husband said. With the magic rice, if we plant it for a few more years, no one will die from famine anymore."
She nodded and continued to ask: "How about Sankey Fish Pond?"
The Secretary of the Household Department showed a confident smile and replied: "The mulberry fish pond model proposed by His Majesty is truly a genius idea!
Mulberry trees can raise silkworms, fish ponds can raise fish, and magic rice can also be planted. The fish can eat insects and weeds to make the magic rice grow better, which is simply wonderful. The only regret is that it is only suitable for use in water-rich areas in the south. There is too little water in the north, making it difficult to implement. "
"It's been done well."
Mu Yuyan nodded with satisfaction, then turned to the Minister of Works and asked: "How is the waterwheel promoted by the Ministry of Works now?"
There was a trace of enthusiasm on the face of the Minister of Industry and Commerce, and he secretly thought that it was finally my turn. He stood up immediately with a smile on his face!
"Reporting to your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry has now manufactured 10,800 waterwheels, which are distributed in villages in various counties. With the waterwheels, agricultural irrigation is extremely convenient, and there is no need to worry about water shortages and droughts causing food shortages. Regarding the issue of production reduction, speaking of it, the magic rice harvest can be so significantly improved, and the contribution of the waterwheel cannot be erased."
Many officials were very surprised. They did not expect that the agricultural reforms ordered to be implemented by His Majesty had achieved such good results.
The princes were silent.
Mu Yuyan suddenly showed a mysterious smile, lightly opened her red lips, and said in a gentle tone: "Do you know who came up with the concepts of magic rice, waterwheels and mulberry fish ponds?"
