Every time Xiao Jing thinks of Fang Jifan, his mood is more complicated!

Fang Jifan gave him a lot of shadows!

The little eunuch looked up at Xiao Jing, and saw Xiao Jing's somewhat depressed expression, his face showed a little hesitation, but he still continued: "The fan of Dongchang also found out that today is the day to harvest potatoes, and the prince and Xinjian Bo and others want to choose an auspicious time to start harvesting potatoes......"

"Oh." Xiao Jing raised his head, and finally came back to his senses from Fang Cai's thoughts.

In fact, the eunuchs are superstitious, the most important thing about this lunar calendar, you can't do this today, you can't do this tomorrow, the rules are decent, they believe that there are gods and Buddhas in the world, only if you believe in it, you can be reincarnated in the next life, and you can be a complete man in the next life.

Therefore, Xiao Jing only thought about it for a moment, isn't the auspicious time two hours later?

Xiao Jing paused, and fell into deep thought, Dongchang has disappointed His Majesty several times, this time, His Majesty has asked about this, and now that there is a result, he has to report it quickly, only in this way can he show that Dongchang is not incompetent.

At this time, it is not the time to think about personal grievances.

After thinking about it, Xiao Jing immediately said, "Someone." ”

A cadre of eunuchs was already waiting outside, and when they heard Xiao Jing's voice, they hurriedly came in.

Xiao Jing asked, "Where is Your Majesty now?" ”

A eunuch said: "At this time, it is time to summon a few ministers in the warm pavilion." ”

Xiao Jing hesitated, should he ...... How about a later recital?

Not! I can't delay, I went to tell you early, even if it was an hour, I would have an explanation in front of His Majesty.

Otherwise, the opportunity was missed again, and the face of the East Factory would be completely lost.

Xiao Jing immediately said: "Go to the warm pavilion!" ”

…………………………

The weather was cold, but the inside of the warm pavilion was different from the outside.

At this time, Emperor Hongzhi was not wearing very thick clothes, and he was sitting quietly in front of the imperial case in the warm pavilion.

In the past two days, in fact, his body has been infected with some wind chill and always coughs, but he doesn't seem to care about this, he just ordered someone to boil some cold soup, and after drinking it, he feels better.

Yes, the military and civilians of Liaodong are too bitter, and the miners in Xishan are not bitter? Therefore, it can be deduced that among the people of the world, which one is not bitter?

Thinking of this, Emperor Hongzhi had no reason and was worried for a while.

He looked at Liu Jian, looked at Xie Qian, looked at Li Dongyang, looked at Ma Wensheng, and Shen Wen, a bachelor of Hanlin who was summoned.

Shen Wen came to report on the writing of the edict.

His Majesty wants to issue an edict to publicize Ouyang Zhi's deeds, but how to grasp it, this bachelor waiting for the edict is a little difficult.

But when he got here, His Majesty didn't say anything, just silence.

Occasionally, he heard His Majesty's slight cough, which made Shen Wen a little worried.

In this surprisingly quiet, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly said: "Zhuqing's family, what did the three emperors and five emperors look like?" ”

Everyone was stunned.

I never imagined that Your Majesty would have such a Yaxing.

As soon as Shen Wen heard the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, he immediately lifted his spirits, and said with his eyebrows fluttering: "That's a matter of great governance, the Holy Monarch has educated all the people, so everyone in the world knows the etiquette, and the road is not forgotten, and the night is not closed, which is really desirable." ”

This is almost the most standard answer for readers.

Emperor Hongzhi said incorrectly: "At that time, could the people have a full stomach?" ”

Shen Wen paused before he said, "Your Majesty, you want to come...... They must be able to eat enough, and the Holy King is above, and the people will be hungry? ”

Emperor Hongzhi sighed and said faintly: "It seems that I am not a holy monarch, I may be a tyrant, otherwise how could the people be hungry?" Commoners......... It's miserable. ”

"......" Shen Wen didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor would actually come to raise the bar.

I thought this was a theoretical study, but His Majesty's words almost didn't choke him to death. He didn't know how to answer Ai Ai, but he couldn't really say that His Majesty was indeed a tyrant.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "I still don't understand one thing, when the three emperors and five emperors, the people were still full, why now, not only people's hearts are not ancient, but even food and clothing are not as good as the ancients?" I have some doubts about this, whether these three emperors and five emperors are false. ”

At this moment, everyone was stunned.

The most fearful thing about any doctrine, or religion, is that someone will always ask why.

Because there are loopholes in the world's learning, after all, there have never been any flaws and loopholes in this world.

Therefore, the general academic or religious community probably adopts the method of "if you beep blindly, I will kill you." So, the person who raised the problem solves it, and everything can be justified.

But what if you meet someone who can't die?

Like what...... This man is Your Majesty.

Shen Wen blushed, he didn't know what to say, and his heart was panicked.

I saw Emperor Hongzhi said abruptly: "Three emperors and five emperors, everyone admires them, but when the three emperors and five emperors, how to let the people be fed, and how to rule the world, the later people are mostly vague, this is really a strange thing." ”

In fact, Emperor Hongzhi is not raising the bar, but he hopes that there will really be a world of three emperors and five emperors in this world, because at least this proves that the world of great rule exists, and since the ancients can do it, they can work towards that goal.

What he feared most was that if the sacred things of the Five Emperors and the Three Emperors were just deceiving endless passers-by, it would be really lamentable.

The ministers remained silent.

Finally, Shen Wen, as a bachelor in Hanlin, was a little uncontrollable, and said: "The sage said that this exists, so I think it must exist." If the world of great rule is not there, then where does this way of the saint come from? Your Majesty, don't let this thought come to you. ”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said: "But I have another question, the way of the sage has long been spread all over the world, but why since Confucius made the Spring and Autumn Period, there has never been a world of great rule in the world, and some are just the rise and fall of the world, and the people are ......suffering."

“……”

Shen Wen felt very bad, he didn't even want to chat with Emperor Hongzhi anymore, if he were someone else, he would have pointed at his nose and scolded the people to confuse the public. But he didn't dare to point at Emperor Hongzhi's nose, so he had to look at Emperor Hongzhi resentfully, pretending to be deaf and dumb.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Maybe this is the case in the world, this is the truth of everything!" ”

As he was talking, a little eunuch Xu Bu came in outside and said, "Your Majesty, Gonggong Xiao asks to see you." ”

Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly.

In the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi, Xiao Jing is a very sensible person, and under normal circumstances, he will not bother himself at this time, unless......

Emperor Hongzhi coughed lightly and said, "Call in." ”

Xiao Jing came in, glanced at the ministers, stepped forward and saluted: "The slave has seen Your Majesty, Your Majesty, is your dragon body better?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "It's better." ”

Xiao Jing looked at Emperor Hongzhi with a sick face worriedly, speaking of which, Emperor Hongzhi grew up with him, in the eyes of outsiders, he was the emperor's slave, but what about in his own heart?

Xiao Jing has never thought that he is a good person, and he will never be a good person, a man, he has become a monster who is neither yin nor yang, how can he be distinguished by good and bad?

However, no matter to anyone, in the eyes of others, his face is either good or evil, whether he loves to fight for power and profit, or when he is ruthless, he can beat people to death. But deep in Xiao Jing's heart, there is a feeling between him and Emperor Hongzhi, this emotion is hidden under the etiquette, only at this time, seeing Emperor Hongzhi's sick face, Xiao Jing's heart ...... It hurts a little.

He understood Emperor Hongzhi's temperament, and naturally knew that Emperor Hongzhi did not want to ask too many things about the dragon's poor body in front of his ministers, so as not to breed any bad discussions in the foreign court, so he quickly became upright, and turned to say: "Your Majesty, potato...... The slave and maid have inquired clearly. ”

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly sat upright, and in the puzzled eyes of the ministers, he said solemnly: "You continue." ”

"This is a new crop, which was cultivated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Xinjian Bo, and Fengcheng Bo, and it is said that ...... Can be used as a staple food, better than sweet potatoes! ”

Suddenly......

The ministers in the hall looked at each other, although they were silent, but their eyes still revealed the shock in their hearts.

Staple......

You know, in fact, staple food and grain are not the same.

Wheat is grain, soybeans can also be grain, and rice is even more grain, but although soybeans can also be used as grain, people cannot always live by eating soybeans.

This sweet potato is a grain, but according to everyone's understanding, this is a supplementary food, and it is far from reaching the level of staple food.

It can improve the lives of hundreds of people, and it can also save countless lives in disaster years, but it can really make people live on sweet potatoes every day, which is obvious...... Nor realistic.

But now, as Xiao Jing said, this potato is actually a staple food.

Emperor Hongzhi's face became even more cautious, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "How does it taste?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, it's so fragrant!" Xiao Jing was cautious, he had to take the evaluation of His Royal Highness the Prince, otherwise if it was unpalatable, it would be to go out and turn left to find the prince, after all, the prince is not bad and immortal, the emperor only has such a bloodline, and the big thing can only be beaten!

But he ...... If you don't have such a hard body, it's better to be cautious.

Emperor Hongzhi was thoughtful, and his face became even more solemn: "Why didn't the crown prince and Fang Jifan come to report?" ”

"I haven't harvested it yet." Xiao Jing smiled, he saw His Majesty's concern about this matter, so he said slowly: "When Dongchang found out the news here, the potatoes had not been harvested. ”

Finally...... Raised eyebrows.

You see, before the potatoes were harvested, the Dongji Factory found out, what does this mean? It shows that the East Detective Factory is not just eating dry rice.
