"Xuan Ling, what Xie Yi said......"

Xie Yi didn't know when he had already retreated, and in the huge Zhenguan Palace, Li Er's Majesty was silent for a long time, and asked the resourceful prime minister.

The one who is suspicious of His Majesty - the old fairy who rides the green ox is also!

This statement is really a bit unbelievable.

Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, if what Xie Yi said is true, it should be a gift from Emperor Taishang Xuanyuan." ”

Emperor Taishang Xuanyuan - Laozi Li Er is also, the Taoist respected Taishang Laojun.

In the third year of Wude, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan issued an edict to entitle Laozi Li Er as the ancestor and posthumously crowned Emperor Taishang Xuanyuan. The purpose is to flaunt that his family is noble, it is the destiny of heaven, and the Han family is orthodox, so as to convince the people of the world.

Xie Yi called the old fairy Weng white beard and white hair, fairy wind bones, and rode a green ox away. As we all know, when Lao Tzu rode a green ox through Hangu Pass, who was it if he wasn't an old man?

Li Shimin asked in a deep voice, "Do you believe it?" ”

Fang Xuanling hesitated, obviously the emperor didn't seem to believe it, but ......

"Your Majesty, Emperor Taishang Xuanyuan personally gave good seeds, so that the people of the Tang Dynasty are full of food, this is an auspicious omen, God bless the Tang Dynasty, God bless Your Majesty."

Li Shimin's expression moved slightly, he knew that Fang Xuanling was not patting on the back, but reminding himself of the political significance of this matter.

There are still many people in the world who are separated from Li Tang and accuse the Li family of being in the wrong position. Now the ancestor of the Li family, the ancestor of the Daomen, suddenly appeared, instructed a young man, and gave a good seed to benefit the Tang Dynasty, what does it mean?

This is much better than Li Yuan licking his face and clinging to the ancestors, and the effect is even a hundred times greater. If it is true as Xie Yi said, while corn and potatoes fill the stomachs of the people, the saying of "Lao Tzu gives food" can strengthen the divine status of Li Tang's monarchy and stabilize his rule.

This is of great benefit to the Li Tang royal family and Li Shimin himself, and it is of great significance.

It stands to reason that this kind of thing is mostly directed and acted by the royal family, and some means are used to create public opinion and win the hearts and prestige of the people.

But in this matter, Li Shimin didn't do anything, he didn't even think about it, Xie Yi opened his mouth and said it conclusively, insisting that it was given by an old immortal who rode a green ox.

For a moment, Li Shimin had a delusion, could it be that his family was really mandated by heaven? Ancestors blessed? Son Li Zhi's condition seems to be expected, with the blessing of the ancestors, he prepared the elixir early, but it was just ...... It's a coincidence.

Li Ermajesty knows better than anyone that the old Li family has Hu blood, and has no half-penni relationship with Taishang Laojun, and the statement that the ancestors bless is obviously not valid.

Li Shimin's eyes burned and said, "Xie Yi is lying." ”

"Perhaps, if that is the case, this son is very smart." Fang Xuanling said: "But Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the court should believe that what he said is true." ”

"Oh?"

Fang Xuanling said: "As long as he can grow crops, the fruit will be realized, and the whole world will be shocked, and the world's mouth will be speechless, which is naturally a conclusive fact." ”

"That's right!"

"When His Majesty has food in his hands, the people's hearts will be attached. At the time of harvest this autumn, His Majesty only needs to display new vegetables and grains at the feast, presumably ...... This eastern tour will be successful, and the world's return to the heart is just around the corner. Fang Xuanling proposed to build yì at the right time.

"Okay, arrange it, keep this matter secret first, let Xie Yi cultivate and plant it well, and stay until the golden autumn, so that the old men of the family can lose their eyes and jaws in shock."

Li Shimin sneered twice, and then changed his words and said, "Xie Yi, what does Xuan Ling think?" ”

"Judging from the past few days, this son is young and promising, quick and resourceful, and he is a talent." Fang Xuanling said leisurely: "The minister has intuition, the magic in him is far more than that, I am afraid that there will be new things born in the future, which is surprising and delightful." ”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Since he is a talent, he has to keep it...... However, he had previously rejected Hou Junji's solicitation, and seemed to like the wild and uninhibited style of Wei and Jin Yishi, and was unwilling to go out to serve the imperial court. ”

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thought that he just rejected Hou Junji, for what reason the minister didn't know." But this son is not a recluse, occasionally arrogant but also has a degree of words and deeds, and the desire to seek a future is quite urgent. ”

"How so? In fact, he can speak directly......"

"Your Majesty, what could Xie Yi ask for when he opened his mouth before? What can 陛xià give? When Fang Xuanling asked this, Li Shimin's mind moved, isn't that it!

"Previously, he only saved His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and he had merit, but his merits were not meritorious, and he failed to show enough talent and weight, so he may not be able to win His Majesty's favor and attention, so he... Retreat. ”

Fang Xuanling analyzed: "Nominally, he only asked His Majesty for a nursery, but in fact, he offered treasure and auspiciousness to His Majesty. As long as the seeds blossom and bear fruit, he will be credited to the court and the world. Can the reward be less? ”

"This kid, you're scheming with me!" Li Shimin suddenly laughed.

"This is Xie Yi's cleverness, and it can be regarded as a helpless move." Fang Xuanling's rhetoric is very fair.

"Yes, this son is indeed a talent, and he is doing a big thing for me, if he is still a white cloth, it seems unreasonable." Li Shimin turned around and asked, "Xuan Ling, what kind of official do you think is more appropriate for him?" ”

Fang Xuanling groaned slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you let him be appointed as the Forestry Department of Sinong Temple for the time being." The Forestry Department is in charge of the garden pond and plants fruits and vegetables for the court meeting, sacrifice and food. is in the right position, and it is not conspicuous. ”

"From the eighth grade, will it be too lowly? It can be seen that this son has a very high spirit, and I don't want to lose my reputation for treating talents poorly. ”

Li Shimin is a Bole, but most of the talents he fancies will be reused. For example, serving Shi Ma Zhou, from a guest of a Zhonglang general to a close minister of the Son of Heaven of Chengqing Palace, it didn't take much time, it can be said that he ascended to the sky in one step.

Fang Xuanling said leisurely: "If His Majesty wants to treat him well, why not add a title of Huaiyang County Boy; When the grain and fruit are ripe after the autumn, or they make new contributions, and then be promoted, what does His Majesty think? ”

"Okay, just do as you say, and draw up the idea!"

Li Ermaxi spoke, and Xie Yi, who was dressed in cloth, became a man from the Eight Grades to the Shanglin Department, a man from Huaiyang County.

With the title, he is one step closer to the nobles, after all, he is only the last rank of the prince and the prince at the moment, and it is worthless to grab a lot of money in the Tang Dynasty.

However, at the age of eighteen, there are not many young men who have earned the title by their own ability, so they are still proud. Besides, this is the beginning, and there are many opportunities for promotion in the future!

As for "the old fairy man riding a green ox" is naturally an apocryphal, there is no way, this kind of thing can't be said. In order to make the origin of one's talents, and the things that come through, seem normal, you must have a good explanation, and it is undoubtedly best to use the gods as an excuse.

After all, in these years, fairies and ghosts are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and there is a lot of awe, and there is still quite a market.

As for moving out of Lao Tzu, because Li Tang clinged to his old man as the ancestor, he made up this statement, and Li Shimin should like it very much. Its use value and political significance, there is definitely no need to say more, the emperor believes it, and others will naturally not question it anymore.

Since then, he has made an amazing "move", and he can pull out the banner of "Riding the Bull Old Immortal", which can save a lot of trouble.

For the rest of the year, it's time to be a farmer and farm. Offering the seeds to the imperial court is also the result of Xie Yi's careful consideration, how much benefit can he plant alone?

Selling vegetables and food? New things need to have a process of acceptance, how many people are willing to try them? Even if the sales are good, how much money can you make? After being discovered by the imperial court, I am afraid that they will also ask about the crime of hiding private interests, and the gains outweigh the losses.

It's easy to make money, what Xie Yi really lacks is a powerful position, and he can use this as a stepping stone to join the ranks of the nobles of the Tang Dynasty in order to maximize his benefits. Under the auspices of the imperial court, the new crops can be promoted as much as possible, which can be regarded as benefiting the people of the Tang Dynasty, so why not?

Li Shimin chose the nursery in Luoyang Palace, but Xie Yi couldn't ask for it.

Although there is a lot less freedom in the palace, but close to the center, it is natural to be close to the water and get the moon first. When I take the time to see Li Zhi one day, I have to take advantage of the rare opportunity to have a good relationship with His Royal Highness the King of Jin, so as to be invincible in the future.

As for the current situation, I hurriedly repaired a letter to my sister-in-law at home, asking her to bring Xiaoman and her treasured seeds to Luoyang. Hou Junji sent someone to escort him, so naturally it was the best, and there was no need to worry about safety.

In addition, Lu Tong has to go north, and the construction plan of the Luoyang workshop may be accelerated.

With the amount of Cheng Zhijie's wine, Qionghua brewed the supply of wine, and the consequences will be very strict, the old Cheng Xuanhua axe is in hand, and then he plays with such a three-plate axe, which is really scary.
