Chapter 239: The Hundred Knights' Doubts

The more than 3,000 corn plants in the corn prison are growing well, and now is the time to grow ears. According to Li Xiao's request, the Kunlun slaves kept only two ears of corn per corn plant, and even only one ear in the mountains, slopes, and saline-alkali lands with poor fertility.

According to Li Xiao's request, the prison used the tender ears as a special product of the corn prison, and sent some to each of the various offices of the Beijing Division, and specially offered some to the court.

Li Xiao even gave corn shoots, and even asked the prison to attach a corn shoot cooking guide.

According to this guide, the imperial chef took the fresh corn shoots and made several dishes and presented them.

Now the imperial chefs in the palace know that the emperor likes to eat stir-fried vegetables, and the stir-fried dishes come from Li Xiao, the corn supervisor. The imperial dining room now worships Li Xiao very much, and there are few who can satisfy the emperor's stomach. The imperial dining room is now fully equipped with an iron pot for stir-frying, as well as vegetable seed oil, camellia oil, soybean oil, etc., and even cooking wine, soy sauce, bean paste, chili noodles, etc., specially purchased from Lanxi Lizhuang, in order to ensure that the emperor can drink authentic stir-fried dishes at any time.

"This dish is made from young ears of corn?" Li Zhi ate a few bites and thought this dish was very good.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is indeed made by tender ears of corn, and tender ears of corn are provided by the corn supervisors, and they call them corn shoots."

"These dishes are also sent by the corn supervisor, right?" Li Zhi asked.

Eating and eating, Li Zhi felt that the dishes made by Li San in Lanxi were more in line with his appetite, but unfortunately Li San refused to be his cook, but fortunately Li San did not hide it, and the imperial chef in the palace still learned to make stir-fried dishes, and there was even a chef who specialized in stir-frying, which was actually summoned from Lanxi Li Zhuang.

"It won't be long before the corn is harvested." Li Zhi thought in his heart, although the corn is not yet ripe, since the corn in several experimental fields has begun to set ears, it means that Li Xiao's corn is not empty. Now the difference is just the final step of verification.

The ears of corn have been eaten, and the corn is certainly not far away.

Thinking of the two corn plants he raised, Li Zhi felt that it was time to remove the excess ears, although he was a little reluctant.

For lunch, Li Zhi was very satisfied, and specially ordered to reward the cook with ten horses of silk cloth.

After the meal, Master Zhang will play in the Baiqi Shilang.

Founded by Taizong Li Shimin, the Hundred Cavalry Division is small in number but very sophisticated, and it is a spy organization similar to the Jinyi Guard.

It is the eyes and ears of the emperor to supervise the hundred officials.

Master Zhang, a man from Wugong County, reported to the emperor the latest movements of the elders such as the eldest grandson Wuji, Yu Zhining, Han Ying, and Lai Ji.

"You said that Uncle Guo gave Li Xiao, the corn supervisor, a set of Shengye Fang's mansion this morning, and went to Li Xiao's house to have dinner with Li Xiao at noon?"

Li Zhi didn't expect that his uncle, the eldest grandson Wuji, would actually have a relationship with Li Xiao.

And it's so close.

"Did you find out what they talked about?"

Master Zhang didn't expect that the eldest grandson Wuji would interact with Li Xiao, Li Xiao's grade was too low, and in the past, he was not enough to supervise the list of hundreds of cavalry divisions, so he was not prepared for a while.

However, the Baiqi Division is not a dry meal, and after knowing that they are coming, he also quickly investigated Li Xiao's recent movements.

As a result, they found out that Li Xiao had a meeting with the eldest grandson Wuji and Han Ying yesterday by the Weishui River outside Chang'an City.

As for what was said, no one knows.

Li Zhi was even more puzzled.

The sudden resignation of the eldest grandson Wuji today was unexpected, and this move was without warning. And now Baiqi Si told him that the eldest grandson Wuji had secretly met with Li Xiao yesterday by the Weishui River outside Chang'an City, and asked him to resign this morning.

In the morning, the eldest grandson Wuji sent Li Xiao's mansion again, and at noon he also went to Li Xiao's new house for dinner.

As soon as these things were connected, Li Zhi's face was already very ugly.

In Li Zhi's impression, Li Xiao is a very free and easy person, although he sometimes makes him unhappy, but this person has no dealings with the patriarchal faction. has a good relationship with Princess Tamase, and has a good relationship with Xue Rengui's son and Cheng Yanjin's grandson.

When did Li Xiao actually get together with the eldest grandson Wuji again.

"How big is Uncle Guo's house in Shengyefang?" Li Zhi asked with a gloomy face.

When an emperor is an emperor, he is always suspicious and suspicious.

"That mansion covers an area of 18 acres and is worth more than 6 million yuan."

More than 6 million, this is more than 6,000 yuan, how much does Li Xiao earn a year? With such a large sum of money, why did the eldest grandson Wuji give it to Li Xiao? Thinking about the secret discussion between the two of them yesterday by the Weishui River, the eldest grandson resigned today, and he sent money to Li Xiao after the next dynasty, no matter how you look at it, it seems that there is a secret deal.

Why did Li Xiao dare to accept such a big gift?

Did he collect it himself, or did he collect it for others?

"Has Li Xiao already lived in that house?"

"The plaque of the Li Mansion has been replaced, Li Xiao has already moved in, and when the Taishi gave the house to Li Xiao, even the more than 30 slaves in the house and all the utensils were given to Li Xiao."

As a trusted person of the emperor, Master Zhang could certainly guess some of the emperor's thoughts at this time.

"What the hell is this bastard doing?" Li Zhi was angry that Li Xiao and the eldest grandson Wuji had come together.

Li Xiao has been planting corn well recently, and he has also invented a very sharp curved plow, and has the technology of planting corn in saline-alkali land, which made Li Xiao happy, and then restored Li Xiao's original rank, but who would have thought that in a blink of an eye, Li Xiao would catch up with the eldest grandson Wuji again.

Damn, why don't you know how to stop this shit, what the hell is he doing?

"Zhang Qing, give me an investigation, we must find out when Li Xiao and Uncle Guo came together, and find out what they said yesterday?"

Intuition told Li Zhi that what Li Xiao said to the eldest grandson Wuji yesterday led to the eldest grandson's voluntary resignation today. But what exactly they said could have such a result, Li Zhi couldn't figure it out.

He couldn't figure it out if he wanted to break his head, so he could only let Master Zhang check it.

Master Zhang responded to the order.

Walking out of the palace, Master Zhang was also puzzled.

Master Zhang, who was dressed in a purple robe, wondered, why is this Li Xiaolu so wild, and everyone hooks up?

Li Xiao is a man from Lantian County, and Master Zhang is a man from Wugong County, both of whom are barons, but Master Zhang is a high-ranking official of the third grade, and it is not easy to be the emperor's henchman.

Master Zhang is an authentic Guanlong nobleman, his father was the Xiangzhou Assassin of the Sui Dynasty, and his grandfather was Zhang Wei, the prince of Wancheng County. The Zhang family also has an identity, that is, the national relative of the Li Tang Dynasty, and Master Zhang is the nephew of Gaozu.

In his early years, he also followed Gaozu to fight the world, tired of military exploits to the history of Huazhou Assassin, and also served as a servant, knighted as a baron of Wugong County, and later turned to take charge of the Hundred Cavalry Division.

He also has two younger brothers, both of whom are also third-grade. The second brother, Zhang Jian, is the eldest brother, and he is the prince of Wancheng County, the doctor of Jin Ziguanglu, and the protector of Dongyi. The third brother, Zhang Yanshi, was the general of the left guard, named the prince of Fanyang County, and guarded the north of Chang'an.

The three brothers of the Zhang family are all three products, a door and three halberds, and they are called the three halberds of the Zhang family.

But Master Zhang really can't understand how this Li Xiao, who has risen so fast, has a very good relationship with Li Ji, Cheng Yanjin, and Xue Rengui, the upstarts in Shandong, and can also have close contacts with the two Guanlong veterans, the eldest grandson Wuji and Han Ying.

A farmer's son Tian She Han'er can even let the emperor hide his identity again and again to go to his house?

This is really evil!
