Yang Nong sat quietly behind his desk and died, after this incident came out, the entire court was moved, and Li Shimin also went to Yang's Mansion to mourn in person, posthumously presented as the history of Chenzhou Thorn, nicknamed "Kang". Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is worth mentioning that under the influence of this locust plague, all the wheat, grains and other crops in Guanzhong were all harvested, but only the sweet potatoes promoted by the Ministry of Agriculture survived, which also made the name of Yang Nong spread all over Guanzhong, so when the news of his death came out, many people near Chang'an spontaneously rushed to mourn, and on the day of the burial, the send-off team was lined up from the head of the city to the end of the city.

Yang Nong's death was also a big blow to Li Xiu, after attending his funeral, Li Xiu couldn't sleep for a few days, but the Ministry of Agriculture still needed him to preside, so he could only take over the Ministry of Agriculture, and later Yang Dui rushed back after Yang Nong's funeral, which made Li Xiu breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Yang Dui and Yang Nong are like father and son, he is not Yang Nong's son after all, and he does not have to keep filial piety for three years according to the rules, not to mention that Yang Nong had told Yang Dui before that he would not let him keep filial piety for himself, because if Yang Nong died, the Ministry of Agriculture would definitely need someone to take over, Li Xiu was usually a person who didn't care about things, so the importance of Yang Dui was more prominent, which was very important to Yang Dui's career, and Yang Dui was the most promising of Yang Nong's nephews, so Yang Nong didn't want to delay Yang Dui's future because of his death.

Li Xiu was a little worried about Yang Dui's inadvertent work at first, but soon he found that he was thinking too much, Yang Dui turned his grief into strength, and began to work harder after coming back, even if Li Xiu asked him to rest more a few times, he couldn't change Yang Dui's mind, and finally Li Xiu simply stopped persuading him, but gradually handed over some affairs of the Ministry of Agriculture to Yang Dui, in fact, he was also very optimistic about Yang Dui, now Yang Nong has died, and the post of Langzhong in the Ministry of Agriculture is vacant, although Yang Dui's qualifications are somewhat insufficient, but it must be no problem to be a foreigner.

Sure enough, this morning, Li Shimin summoned Li Xiu into the palace again, when he came to the Liangyi Palace, he found that not only Li Shimin was there, but Wei Zheng, who threw Li Shimin's anger straight to things last time, was also there, speaking of which, the Ministry of Agriculture belongs to the subordinate institutions of Sinong Temple, and Wei Zheng concurrently served as the secretary of Sinong Temple, although he had not been in charge of things before, but the development of the Ministry of Agriculture also had an important relationship with Wei Zheng's support.

"Li Xiu, Yang Nong's funeral has been dealt with, but someone from the Ministry of Agriculture still needs to preside, so I came to you today to discuss with you who will take over the affairs of the Ministry of Agriculture?" As soon as Li Xiu came in, Li Shimin immediately got straight to the point.

"What Your Majesty said is very true, and the minister is also thinking about this matter in the past few days, but the minister is not familiar with the ministers in the court, so everything is still up to Your Majesty!" Li Xiu nodded immediately, and then kicked this question to Li Shimin, anyway, no matter who takes over Yang Nong's position, he will recommend Yang Dui to serve as a member of the Ministry of Agriculture, which is an affirmation of Yang Dui's ability and an explanation to Yang Nong.

Seeing Li Xiu kicking the appointed ball to himself, Li Shimin also smiled helplessly, and then looked at Wei Zheng and said: "Wei Qing, the Ministry of Agriculture is a subordinate of your Sinong Temple, who do you think the chief official can take over the position of Langzhong of the Ministry of Agriculture?" ”

Wei Zheng would not shirk his responsibilities like Li Xiu, so he stood up and said: "Your Majesty, in addition to Yang Nong, the Lang of the Ministry of Agriculture, the only thing left is the Wai Lang of the Horse, and the Wai Lang is the deputy of Lang Zhong, and now that Yang Nong has died, it is natural that the Wai Ma will take over the position of Lang Zhong!" ”

Hearing that Wei Zheng actually recommended himself, Li Xiu couldn't help but stare at the other party very annoyed, but unfortunately Wei Zheng didn't care about his gaze at all, and then spoke again: "Speaking of the establishment of the Ministry of Agriculture in the past few years, the promotion of corn and sweet potatoes has also been quite effective, especially through this locust plague, sweet potatoes have been promoted in Guanzhong, and the next thing is to promote it throughout the country, it can be said that the Ministry of Agriculture is now in a critical period, if you change an official who is not familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of Agriculture, I am afraid that the promotion of the major event will be delayed. Therefore, the minister felt that it was most reliable for a colt who was familiar with the Ministry of Agriculture to take over the position of Langzhong! ”

"Your Majesty, although the minister served in the Ministry of Agriculture before, but in fact, he was only on a temporary post, and he usually didn't take care of things, and he felt powerless to replace Yang Gong in the past few days, and he really couldn't bear the heavy responsibility of the Ministry of Agriculture, so I asked Your Majesty to appoint someone else!" Li Xiu hurriedly excused himself at this time, and at the same time, he had scolded Wei Zheng countless times in his heart.

"The horse is too modest, with your great talent, it is already Qu Cai to serve as a small agricultural department, and now you have just taken over the agricultural department, it is normal to be a little uncomfortable, and after a while, you will naturally be handy!" Wei Zheng spoke again at this time, it seemed that he was determined to let Li Xiu provoke the beam of the Ministry of Agriculture.

"¥#@%#@¥%......" Li Xiu was so angry that he wanted to scold at this time, he now felt that Wei Zheng's character must be problematic, and he didn't want others to be happy, if he really did Langzhong in the Ministry of Agriculture, I am afraid he would have to be as busy as Yang Nong used to, where would he have time to fish and teach?

Seeing Wei Zheng and Li Xiu arguing, Li Shimin, who was sitting in the hall, laughed secretly in his heart, he used to be suffocated in front of Wei Zheng, but now he can see Li Xiu suffocating in front of Wei Zheng, which makes him feel an inexplicable sense of pleasure.

"Cough~" But this matter can't keep Li Xiu and them arguing endlessly, so I saw Li Shimin suddenly cough dryly at this time, and then said, "Li Xiu, I think Wei Qing's words have some truth, the Ministry of Agriculture is at a critical moment, whether the promotion of corn and sweet potatoes as soon as possible depends on the efforts of the past two years, instead of finding someone who is not familiar with the Ministry of Agriculture, it is better for you to temporarily take over the Ministry of Agriculture, so that we can be more assured!" ”

"Your Majesty, I ...... I also have other things to do, such as giving lessons to the princes, and it takes a lot of time just to prepare for the lessons! Li Xiu didn't expect that even Li Shimin would say the same, and immediately racked his brains to recommend it again, and even used it as an excuse to give Li Chengqian and them a lesson, in fact, except for this matter, he really didn't have any excuse to show his hand.

"It's okay, they don't go to you every day, at most, if they go, you will go home and hand over the affairs of the Ministry of Agriculture to the people below, I heard that Yang Nong has a nephew who is also in the Ministry of Agriculture, and he is also quite talented, I think it is better to let him take over your current position as a foreigner and serve as your deputy, so that you can also be more relaxed!" Li Shimin spoke again.

Seeing that Li Shimin promoted Yang Dui to an official, even Li Xiu couldn't refuse anymore, which made him smile bitterly, and finally nodded after a while: "Your Majesty, the minister can take over Yang Gong's position, but the minister still wants to ask Your Majesty for someone!" ”
