In the great court meeting held once every seven days, today the ministers saw Emperor Renzong with a smile on his face. Everyone hoped that the emperor would smile every time, so that they would be less stressed.
Emperor Renzong was so happy because it turned out that Daqi's negotiation team had won!
Rong Guogong Liu Rufeng was fighting with the barbarian representatives. If the old prince hadn't stopped him, Rong Guogong would have let the barbarian royal court representatives go back naked.
The barbarian prince was so angry that he vomited blood.
There was no way, they couldn't defeat Second Master Chu, and they couldn't defeat Uncle Liu either.
No need for the old prince to take action, Liu Rufeng defeated them all by himself.
When Emperor Renzong got the news last night, he was so happy that he didn't sleep all night. He took the eunuch and the third eunuch to play chess all night long.
The Fourth Eunuch left with the negotiating team, and it was the Fourth Eunuch who came back with this news.
So as soon as Emperor Renzong came to court today, he never closed his mouth and was particularly amiable and approachable.
The ministers seemed to be in a dream.
The barbarian royal court cried and signed an agreement that the two sides would not fight each other for thirty years, and would also give Daqi a batch of war horses every year, as well as other conditions. No wonder the eldest prince vomited blood.
The ministers were also very happy after hearing this.
Especially the war horses that the Barbarian Royal Court gives to Da Qi every year. You must know that horses are of great importance on the battlefield.
A country with a large number of cavalry often means superior combat effectiveness and can intimidate other countries.
Emperor Renzong was naturally excited. Liu Rufeng was so awesome and lived up to his years of cultivation.
"My lords, this time Liu Rufeng has made great contributions to Daqi. I think I will let Liu Rufeng be the second assistant."
Emperor Renzong's words made many ministers present change their expressions!
Second assistant?
The second assistant second only to the first assistant Li Renyi!
The Holy One is finally going to touch Li Renyi!
The pure ministers in the main hall and the people close to him headed by the Rong family were naturally happy. Liu Rufeng's ability was not just a boast. The Da Sanyuan back then had both ink, ability, and brains.
This time, one man overthrew the barbarian royal court, and the young general Lian who chopped off Alida's head was his nephew and son-in-law.
Everyone was thinking on their toes that with the Holy Master's regard and training for him over the years, the position of future chief minister must belong to him.
Some people are happy, some people are unhappy,
Master Shan, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, came out and said, "Your Majesty, Master Liu, Rongguo Gong, is young and promising, but suddenly he was promoted from a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy to a junior assistant. Isn't this a bit inappropriate? It's hard to convince the public."
As soon as Master Shan opened his mouth, everyone from the Li family group also agreed.
"It's hard to convince the public? Then Master Shan, you have been in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel for many years, right? Apart from making no big mistakes, you haven't made any big achievements so far, right? How dare you blame others?"
Rong Jue will not spoil him.
Master Shan blushed, "Ronghou, be careful what you say!"
"Why should I be cautious? I just told a few truths. This matter will be decided by the Holy One."
"This matter is settled like this. If you have any opinions, you have to keep it to me!"
Emperor Renzong set the tone with one sentence, and everyone fell silent.
At this time, the Third Eunuch walked in quickly from outside the palace, carrying a big basket on his back, "Your Majesty, it's urgent to report from Linxian County, it's urgent to report to Linxian County!"
Emperor Renzong was shocked.
The Third Eunuch carried the big bamboo basket to His Majesty and presented the Second Eunuch's secret letter to His Majesty. Emperor Renzong took the secret letter and read it carefully.
Everyone stared at the Holy Master's face, Huh?
The Holy Spirit chuckled again?
Emperor Renzong reached out and grabbed two pieces of sweet potatoes from the bamboo basket. He laughed out loud when he saw that the sweet potatoes in the basket were about the same size and he could only hold two pieces with one hand.
"Wow! Wow! Master Rong, you have a great granddaughter!"
When Master Rong heard this, he immediately came out and said, "Your Majesty, what's the happy event?"
"Ah San, show it to everyone, I will popularize it for you."
After saying that, the third father-in-law hurriedly came over with the basket in his arms and showed it to the adults one by one.
"Let me tell you, this is a new crop called sweet potato. The yield per mu can be as high as more than 1,200 kilograms. It was grown by that girl Liu An'an. This kind of crop is not available in Daqi. It can be used as food! The taste is sweet and delicate, Asan, let the imperial kitchen steam it quickly and let all the adults try it!"
What?
New crops?
The yield per mu reaches more than 1,000 catties?
In an instant, the hall was in chaos, my God! The wheat yield is only one stone per acre, but this sweet potato actually weighs more than a thousand kilograms?
"Your Majesty, is it true?"
The first one to come out was Mr. Liu, the Minister of Revenue. At this time, Mr. Liu's eyes were shining and his hands were trembling.
The Ministry of Husbandry is in charge of the country's territory, fields, household registration, taxes, etc. It is the money bag of the imperial court. Mr. Liu has been in the Ministry of Husbandry for many years and is known as Liu Xihu.
When the late emperor was in power, the country was quite wealthy in the early period, but in the later period, it was almost unable to make ends meet.
After finally waiting for the Holy Lord to ascend the throne and taking a series of measures, the money bag gradually improved. Can Mr. Liu not pick at it?
Before the Holy One could speak, someone spoke again.
"Your Majesty, although Marquis Rong's daughter is a little clever, she is still a child after all. How can she have such great abilities? This matter needs to be investigated carefully. If you deceive your Majesty, your happiness will be in vain."
"Master Tong, what do you mean? What do you mean my daughter deceived the Holy Emperor? My daughter has not yet reached the age of hair, so she led the health team to support the border. Your daughter is already eighteen, right? She is fighting over a little boy, and you are still here Here you are licking your face like a fool!"
I don't know who among the crowd had fun.
This Master Tong was also from the Li family, and his face turned green at this time.
"Ronghou, you are going too far! My daughter provoked you, and you actually ruined her innocence? What are your intentions?"
"What do I mean? My daughter is not even 14 yet, and yet you accuse her of deceiving the Holy Emperor. I think you have ulterior motives! You are jealous that my daughter can grow a new crop of sweet potatoes, so you expect the people to go hungry!"
"you you you?"
Master Tong was trembling with anger, pointing his finger at Rong Jue, who couldn't catch his breath for a long time.
As soon as Emperor Renzong slapped the imperial case, everyone shut their mouths.
"This secret letter was written by Ah Er himself. He personally witnessed the sweet potato harvest, and it also contains a memorial from Linxian County Magistrate Fan Qingshan. There is no mistake."
When everyone heard this, "Second Father-in-law?"
Then this really can't be true anymore.
The four great murderous weapons of the Holy Sage only obeyed the orders of the Holy Sage. Only the Holy Sage, not even the queen or the prince, dared to offend the four great father-in-laws. That girl from the Liu family did not have the ability to bribe the second father-in-law.
"Liu Qing, this is your business. Go and run."
"I accept the decree."
Mr. Liu was very excited and planned to set off after the court was over. He couldn't wait any longer.
"In addition, that girl Liu An'an organized a health team and established a field hospital at the border. In this battle with the Barbarian Royal Court, the field hospital also made great contributions. They planted this sweet potato again, and the people of Daqi gained one more Grow food, Ah Da, I have drafted a decree to make that girl a county head. The head of Anle County will make Qingyu Town in Linxian County her fief, and let Mr. Liu take the reward with her."
Master Rong and Rong Jue were so happy that they quickly knelt down to thank them.
Everyone in the hall re-evaluated the position of the Rong family's children in the heart of the Holy Emperor.
Everyone began to discuss things again.
At this time, the third father-in-law came into the hall with a big food box, and the sweet potatoes were cooked in the imperial kitchen.
The Grand Eunuch stepped forward and took out a piece of sweet potato. He broke off a small piece and put it in his mouth. His eyes lit up and he said, "Your Majesty, it tastes sweet and soft."
The Grand Eunuch removed the skin from a piece of sweet potato and presented it to Emperor Renzong on a plate.
Emperor Renzong took it and took a sip, nodding his head. It tasted exactly as Ah Er said, sweet and soft.
"You guys should also try it. It's steamed, grilled over charcoal fire, made into desserts, and made into vermicelli."
"Your Majesty, what are vermicelli?"
Emperor Renzong laughed, "I don't know, this vermicelli is waiting for the Anle County Lord."
"Your Majesty, I may stay a little longer this time, waiting for the Lord of Anle County to make the vermicelli."
"That's right!"
