Chapter 253: Rejection
Many things in the world sound remarkable, but when it comes to accountability, they are actually caused by a small thing, like the famous butterfly effect of the 21st century, and I am afraid that there are still people who cannot believe that a small butterfly can cause a huge storm on the other side of the ocean by gently inciting its wings.
Although this analogy is not very appropriate, but for the current emperor, it is very consistent, he did not want to be, that he called the most practical research since the founding of the Dawu Dynasty, the reason at first was so simple.
His Majesty the Emperor said that he really didn't expect it to be like this, although the matter is a small thing, but from this small thing can be seen more intelligent on the summer solstice, you must know who doesn't know that staying in a warm house in winter, I'm afraid that the three-year-old child of the Dawu Dynasty knows, but no one has passed this, thinking of finding a warm place to plant double cropping rice.
The old fellows of the peasant priests will look like old pedants all day long. I have read a lot of agricultural books, and I haven't seen that they can solve the situation of the people's lack of food and clothing, but when the summer solstice researched such things, they took a lot of advantage, and the emperor thought with some indignation.
"I really didn't expect it to be so simple, it seems that it is really the Yangtze River before the waves pushing the back waves, those old guys in the agricultural priests are really old, such a simple truth, they have been pondering for decades and have not figured it out, it is not as good as Xiao Fuxiang when he was a child!"
The emperor sighed with emotion, the agricultural priests of the Dawu Dynasty began to be established when the emperor was the emperor, and his duty has always been to start from the agricultural aspect, and to keep the people fed and clothed through various means, but he did not expect such a simple idea. The peasant priests and the gang of people pondered for decades without results, and it had been more than ten years since the death of the first emperor. The right prime minister's faction began to threaten his position as emperor because of the cotton matter, but they were still helpless.
The emperor is a wise man. Come to think of it, if it weren't for the summer solstice to grow cotton, so that cotton was planted in the entire Dawu Dynasty, presumably the emperor still didn't plan to move the right faction, who would have mastered the 'cutting-edge' technology of this era.
Therefore, the appearance of the summer solstice can be described as a big surprise, especially when the summer solstice is still a peasant girl in the countryside. However, after thinking about it carefully, the emperor was relieved that if Xia Zhi was not a peasant girl, she might be pampered in the embroidery building, where could she grow double-cropping rice. Sweet potatoes are discovered, cotton and corn are grown.
"Slaves often hear General Zhenbei praise the Lord of Fuxiang for being very smart, and now he can be regarded as a real insight, the Lord of Fuxiang is not an ordinary person, it is not a loss to the emperor, you take a fancy to it, otherwise how can you help the emperor solve the headache that has been a headache for decades through such a small thing!"
Li Degui smiled shyly, praising the summer solstice, and at the same time not forgetting to flatter the emperor. The emperor was very ironed in his heart.
"The lord of Fuxiang County is gifted and intelligent, and the ministers dare not hide it from the emperor!" Lin Yuntian arched his hand and stepped forward.
"Okay, Yuntian, speaking of which, we still grew up together. Don't be so formal! When the emperor saw Lin Yuntian's respectful appearance, he remembered that Lin Yuntian had been his companion since he was a child, and the two of them could be regarded as 'childhood sweethearts'. If it weren't for the old general who took Lin Yuntian to the northern border later, I think the relationship between the two would be closer than now.
But after the emperor said so. Lin Yuntian didn't move, still bowing respectfully.
"Emperor Xie is very loving, but the minister can't forget his duty, this is what the minister should do!" But he didn't dare to relax at all, and Lin Yunlei next to him was also muffled, and he didn't dare to come out.
"Forget it, you're such a personality, I don't bother to talk about you." The emperor turned his gaze to Xia Zhi's body again,
"Fuxiang, I miss that you have made a great contribution to my Dawu Dynasty by researching double cropping rice, discovering sweet potatoes, and growing cotton and corn, so I will fulfill your wish, do you think you have something to achieve?"
Xia Zhi suddenly raised his head in surprise and looked at the gentle man sitting on the top. It is rude for Xia Solstice to be left in ordinary people's homes like this, but it is still okay to be charged with a collision in front of the emperor, but the emperor said softly,
"You don't have to look at me like this, since I promised, I naturally won't go back, think about what you want?"
The emperor knew that if he said such a thing, he would give Xia Zhi a great guarantee, and his promise did not have any additional conditions, that is, even if Xia Zhi asked him to give up the throne, the emperor might agree, of course, if Xia Zhi really said this, he would not want to walk out of this hall today.
Lin Yuntian was anxious in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, for fear that Xia Zhi was young and ignorant, and if he said something that violated the etiquette system, the emperor looked harmless, but Lin Yuntian, who had been working for the emperor for more than ten years, knew that the emperor was not as simple as it seemed. If Xia Zhi really said something rebellious, no one would really be able to save her, and it would implicate their Lin family.
Compared with Lin Yuntian's worries, Lin Yunlei was much calmer. After so many years of understanding, Lin Yunlei already knows what kind of person Xia Zhi is, if she says that she is rebellious, that is, let Xia Zhi seek glory and wealth, she has to think about whether it will be too troublesome. Lin Yunlei knows that Xia Zhi's wish has always been to find an ordinary person to marry and live a peaceful and stable life, of course, the more money you can, the better.
"Emperor Xie, Your Majesty has conferred the title of the courtier's daughter, and the courtier's daughter has been named the county lord, and the courtier's heart is grateful to the emperor for his grace, and she is already very content, so the courtiers have no other wishes to be fulfilled!" Xia Zhi was very worried, and she didn't know if she was right to say this, but she couldn't accept the emperor's promise no matter what, this matter can be big or small, and she still has to deal with it carefully.
"Oh, don't you want to give your grandfather a higher title? Don't you want to ask for an official position for your father? Don't you want to seek fame and fortune for your two cousins? Such a simple refusal, will not regret it? The emperor looked at the woman with her head bowed with interest, it shouldn't be said that it was a girl, you must know that the emperor's promise is not obtained casually, looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, no one has such treatment as the summer solstice.
"I think, but the courtier's grandpa is an ordinary farmer, if he is allowed to farm, maybe he can grow ugly, but it is difficult for him to become an official; And the courtier's father is even more so, now the courtier's daughter and aunt have given birth to twin brothers, and the father has no intention of becoming an official at all, even if he becomes an official, he may not be charged with dereliction of duty;
As for the two cousins of the courtiers, the courtiers believe that they all have real learning, and at this juncture, if the courtiers really seek fame for them, I am afraid that the two cousins will not dare in their hearts, and the ten years of hard study are not just for this dynasty! The courtiers believe that they can also walk out of a brilliant road by themselves! ”
"Well, relying on your own ability, you can also walk out of a brilliant road! Well said, that's wonderful! The Emperor clapped his hands and praised,
"But Fu Xiang is like this, but it makes it difficult for me, you don't want to ask for anything yourself, and you don't ask for anything for your family, but I have spoken in front of so many people, a gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase, but I can't be that trustless villain. Fuxiang, you better tell me what you want! ”
The emperor promised the summer solstice again and again, but there is still no more, Li Degui on the side, looking at the Xia Solstice standing respectfully, couldn't help but secretly smash his tongue, this is really a great thing, but this seems to have no desire.
"Xie, Your Majesty, the courtiers really don't want anything!" The summer solstice still respectfully returned. Still in front of so many people? It's not just five people, where there are a lot of people!
"That's really difficult, um~" The emperor lowered his head and pondered, he didn't expect Xia Zhi to really reject himself again and again, but he wanted to give Xia Zhi some compensation.
Li Degui, as the emperor's minion, naturally wanted to solve problems for his master, and when he saw that the emperor was worried about the summer solstice, he said,
"Your Majesty, the slave sees that the county lord is fourteen years old this year, and after next year, he will reach the marriageable age, and now the county lord is lacking a county horse! Your Majesty, do you want to marry a young talent as a county horse! Li Degui said with an obscene expression and a smile towards the emperor.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's still Li Degui who you think thoughtfully!" After speaking, he glanced meaningfully at the Xia Solstice at the next head, "Our Fuxiang County Lord is indeed missing a county horse!" ”
Xia Zhi almost wants to scold people, Li Degui, don't speak if you can't speak. Xia Zhi is really thorny in her back now, and the matter between her and Lin Yunlei is still a mess. The emperor has already given Lin Yunlei a marriage, and it is conceivable that if he marries her at this time, the person will not choose Lin Yunlei. Xia Zhi thought with some resentment in his heart, how much do you like to give marriage, emperor, be careful that there will be a grudge coming to you in the future.
It's just that the summer solstice here is still slandering, but where the emperor has spoken,
"Pass the decree, the lord of Fuxiang County is smart and agile, gentle and graceful, and now he is married to ......" The words behind the emperor have not yet been spoken, but Xia Zhi knelt up with a puff, and his body was lying on the ground in a five-body posture and said,
"The courtiers don't want to!" After Xia Zhi said this, she still lay on the ground and couldn't stand it, in fact, she had an ostrich mentality, she didn't dare to look at the emperor's expression, thinking that if she didn't look at the emperor's expression, she could treat this matter as if it didn't exist, and the emperor still talked to them calmly.
Xia Zhi knew that if the emperor was asked to say the following words, it would be really difficult to recover, and if she said that she was unwilling, it would really be a protest. Although there was some adventure at this time, Xia Zhi was really unwilling, so he was casually allowed by His Majesty the Emperor to a person.
I knew this earlier, when the emperor just promised her, he should have said that he hoped to marry Lin Yunlei, or marry freely, but unfortunately because of his pride just now, he didn't say anything, what a mistake is a thousand years of hatred! (To be continued......)
