Today's ploughing, the hundred officials will follow Emperor Hongzhi to the fields outside the city to make sacrifices.

Before dawn, the hundred officials were about to enter the palace, waiting in the Fengtian Palace, Yan Chengjin saw the two brothers of the Zhang family.

The Zhang brothers smiled: "Lord Yan is early. ”

"Two lords, early."

Zhang Heling's heart moved, and he smiled: "My brothers said a matchmaker, I wanted to recommend it to the prince, but now I want to cheapen you, do you want it?" It's in the house. ”

This Zhang brother wanted to deceive the matchmaker again, and heard that there was a Shilin in Hanlin Academy, so he believed them and gave the matchmaker money, but the people and money were empty.

Yan Chengjin said: "It's better to leave it to the uncle." ”

Zhou Yu hinted to Yan Chengjin with his eyes, don't talk to those two people, they are fools.

The ploughing ceremony began.

Emperor Hongzhi wore a yellow robe and a winged crown, and under the guidance of Taichangqing Chen Zhen, he went out of the palace and was accompanied by hundreds of officials.

It is rare to see the emperor's holy drive, the people of the capital are like monkeys watching in the zoo, they are on both sides of the street, the voices of people are boiling, the excitement is extraordinary, and when they see the car of the Hongzhi Emperor coming, they kneel down and salute.

Zhu Houzhao is also wearing a gorgeous yellow robe today, heroic and extraordinary, and at this time, the eunuch next to him has changed back to Xiao An.

The place where the ploughing ceremony was held, in the imperial village outside the city, not only Emperor Hongzhi wanted to go to the field, but also the civil and military officials also went to the field.

Emperor Hongzhi, under the guidance of Taichang Siqing, faced the south, and Xu Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, knelt in front of him and handed over the rake.

Emperor Hongzhi paused for a moment and looked at Yan Chengjin: "Yan Qing's family, you come to give me a hand." ”

Every year is Xu Qiong, the flood collapses, there is no less, this year, Emperor Hongzhi decided to change someone, Yan Chengjin has made a lot of meritorious contributions this year, and his luck is good.

All the officials were shocked!

"Your Majesty, it is an ancestral system handed over by the Ministry of Rites, how can it be easily changed?"

A spokesman of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't speak yet, Zeng Jian said first: "Lord Yan is the champion, and he is the first of the three yuan, this fortune, the minister thinks, there is nothing wrong, and last year there were many disasters, and it may be a good thing to change people." ”

handed over the old man, this year's luck is not good, who will take the blame?

Hearing Zeng Jian say this, even Xu Qiong felt that it was a lot heavier.

Yan Chengjin was originally beautiful, this is a good thing that the whole world celebrates, and he can't be happy when he hears it.

"Yan Qing's family, hurry up, don't miss the hour." Emperor Hongji reminded.

"Commandment." Yan Chengjin stood up, took it with both hands, and the officials nodded and smiled, this son knows how to be polite.

The ploughing ceremony was solemn and sacred, but it was all destroyed by Zhu Houzhao.

The guy saw a big cricket in the field, and secretly grabbed it and hid it in his sleeve, and a strange sound kept coming from his cuff.

I was about to squat on the ground and grab another one, but was reminded by Liu Jian: "Your Highness, kneel down." ”

Zhu Houzhao sighed, and found that Emperor Hongzhi and the ministers were looking at him, and he also quickly knelt down.

After taking over the plow, Emperor Hongzhi began to plough the fields diligently, and when he was a little tired, he stopped to wipe the hot sweat from his forehead.

He smiled at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Houzhao, you come and sprinkle the seeds into the soil pit, and I will cover the soil again." ”

Father's kindness and filial piety!

The hundred officials showed a peaceful smile, the holy monarch and the prince were of one heart and one mind, praying to the heavens for blessings, and this year will have a bumper harvest.

Zhu Houzhao sprinkled the seeds into the pit, and the ploughing was completed.

But he didn't sprinkle for half a day.

Zhu Houzhao had an idea, looked at Yan Chengjin, and said happily: "Lao Gao, you said that the law of the strong, can it be used on grains?" ”

Liu Jian and the others are in a hurry, it is a matter of this year's fortune, and the prince should not make any trouble.

"There is no distinction between male and female rice seeds, how to use the law of the strong, the auspicious time is about to pass, the prince quickly sprinkle it." Liu Jian's eyes popped out.

Baiguan has also heard of the law of the strong, but it requires one male and one female.

How can rice be male and female?

This leg is numb on his knees, and His Royal Highness is about to sprinkle it back to the palace.

Emperor Hongzhi was furious: "Sprinkle quickly, I will tell you slowly when I go back." ”

For the sake of his reputation, Zhu Houzhao was not angry: "When I go back, my father will definitely beat up his sons and daughters in a place where no one is around, what is so ridiculous about dividing rice into male and female, you say, rice is not divided into male and female?" ”

These thirty farmers were found from Shuntianfu, and the emperor symbolically ploughed a few shovels, and the rest of the land had to be ploughed by them.

Where did the peasants dare to answer, and staggered to their knees.

Emperor Hongzhi was furious, took a deep breath and said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

"Grass People...... The grass people have never heard that rice is still divided into male and female. The slightly older farmer said.

Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh, Baiguan also couldn't help laughing, Yan Chengjin also laughed, no way, everyone laughed, they didn't laugh, it seemed a little different?

The difference is that the hundred officials laughed at Zhu Houzhao as a fool, and Yan Chengjin laughed at that Zhu Houzhao's words had a certain truth.

Zhu Houzhao suffered a great humiliation, with an expression of "this palace won't let you play".

Emperor Hongzhi's old face was lost, which made the world look at the prince, and said in a low voice: "Don't spill it quickly!" ”

Zhu Houzhao threw the seeds into the pit, and Emperor Hongzhi filled in the soil and hurriedly finished the ploughing.

Back in the palace, Zhu Houzhao naturally had to be punished.

After Emperor Hongzhi left, Zhu Houzhao found Yan Chengjin: "Lao Gao, you said that rice is not divided into male and female? ”

In the cognition of the ancients, plants are normal regardless of male and female.

After all, there is no plant that has a strong gender distinction.

In a sense, ZJ rice can be regarded as conforming to the law of the strong, but this screening process of "natural selection" is artificial.

Zhu Houzhao's conjecture is right.

But what does this guy want to do?

Yan Chengjin blinked: "What does His Highness want to do?" ”

"This palace wants to slap the face of the world!"

After being beaten by Emperor Hongzhi, Zhu Houzhao became more and more interested in this, but he didn't know what to do, so he had to come to Yan Chengjin, the founder of the law of the strong.

Yan Chengjin thought about it, but he could give it a try.

"Your Highness can let Changning Bo give it a try, in the area south of the Yangtze River, recruit the best farmers in farming, plant good rice in a field, according to the law of the strong, constantly screen the seeds, if you can produce rice with a high yield per mu, then it means that it is applicable, the difference between male and female rice is self-defeating."

In fact, the idea of evolution was proposed as early as Zhuangzi, and later Song Yingxing proposed the detailed difference between rice and millet, and the early theory of evolution was basically formed, but there was no scientific evidence to support it.

The soil in Jiangnan is also fertile, and with some experienced farmers, it is entirely possible to cultivate ZJ rice, but I don't know how long it will take to eat it.

Zhu Houzhao was like an initiation, his eyes lit up, yes! The premise of the application of the law of the strong is that there is a male and female, and if it is proved that the law of the strong can be used, wouldn't it be equivalent to that rice also has a male and female.

Zhu Houzhao laughed out loud and said: "This palace said that there are ten buckets of talent in the world, this palace accounts for seven buckets, and Lao Gao, you account for two buckets, sure enough, hahaha"

Zhou Yu heard that he wanted to try whether the rice was male or female in Jiangnan, and he immediately quit, didn't he take him for a fool?

Emperor Hongzhi knew that he connived at the prince's nonsense, and he would punish him to death.

"No! If the prince persecutes the minister, the minister will shout! "Last time I went to a deserted alley, this time I will never be fooled, I am the younger brother of the Queen Mother, the uncle of the first emperor, and he still doesn't believe that the prince dares to kill him.

Zhu Houzhao smiled: "You shout one to try?" ”

"Shout, shout, die! Prince...... What is the prince going to do? Zhou Yu thought about it wrong, he didn't kill anyone.

Zhou Yu wants to run, where can he run.

Zhu Houzhao didn't care: "There is still a will left in the palace, if you don't agree, when the palace becomes the emperor, the first to invite you to Fengtian Hall for tea." ”

Zhou Yu suddenly burst into tears, this is forcing good people to become prostitutes!
