This is a letter from Yongning Xuanfu Envoy Yuxi, which details various basic information about the artichoke crop and its cultivation in the southwest. It clearly describes how Gu Yunji found the artichoke, and how he purchased the improved varieties through Fan Li and promoted them in Xuzhou Mansion.

The time when the fold was written was in May of this year.

Gu Yunji is not a fool, if the artichoke can really be planted throughout Daxia, after the imperial court realizes its high yield, the first person to introduce and promote it will definitely be the first to take credit. Things that are beneficial to the people of the world, Gu Yunji can not care about personal gains and losses, but not caring does not mean that others can steal or even rob the credit that belongs to him.

As early as when Shuzhong was still in drought, Gu Yunji completely recognized Yan Zhengqian and Chen Xunzhou, especially Yan Zhengqian, who was hypocritical and selfish, and would do whatever it took to achieve his goals. It would be a dream to want them to follow the procedures in an orderly manner, truthfully write down Gu Yunji and Fan Li's merits on the artichoke incident and report it layer by layer.

However, Gu Yunji is only a six-grade general judgment, and he is not qualified to play directly in the central government, Emperor Jingfeng has a suspicious personality, if he takes the path of his cousin, he may provoke criticism again, leading to a lot of unnecessary trouble.

After thinking about it, Gu Yunji decided to ask Yu Xi to do this matter.

Luxi is the Tusi of the Yongning Xuanfu Division, in terms of hierarchy, the Xuanfu Division and the political envoy belong to the same level, and she can play directly to Emperor Jingfeng. Moreover, after Gu Yunji came into contact with her, he found that she was a smart and sensible person, and she had an old relationship with Gu Yuanhui, so she should be much more trustworthy than Yan Zhengqian and others.

At the beginning, Gu Yunji took the initiative to give artichoke and chili peppers to Luxi, in addition to wanting to benefit the Yi people, he also wanted to sell Luxu's favor by the way, so as to keep a back hand for himself.

Sure enough, when Gu Yunji sent a letter to euphemistically ask about the promotion of artichoke in the Xuanfu Division, Yu Xi immediately understood what he meant, and turned his head and wrote a report to Emperor Jingfeng, presenting the artichoke matter to the central government from the objective perspective of a third party, which not only conformed to the regulations, but also avoided the credit being preempted.

On the side of Emperor Jingfeng, he found that the artichoke first appeared in Xuzhou Mansion, but he did not see the officials in Sichuan report it, but the nearby Tusi reported it, so he knew that there must be a lot of twists and turns that are difficult to go outside, and there may be big fish hidden in the muddy water of Sichuan officialdom.

So he suppressed the news of the artichoke on the one hand, and only secretly let people experiment with planting; On the other hand, on the pretext of the drought, a special envoy was sent to Qian Xun to Shuzhong to check the local situation.

In order to better verify what Luxi said, Emperor Jingfeng deliberately did not mention the artichoke to Qian Xun, but the report submitted by the other party had a lot of space about the artichoke, which shows that what Luxi said is true, and Sichuan officialdom is indeed not simple.

Now, the big fish in this troubled water has finally surfaced.

Emperor Jingfeng looked at Pu Tingnan, who was drenched in cold sweat, and his tone was cold: "The artichoke is obviously Gu Yunji specially asked someone to inquire about the Western merchants, and it took a lot of effort to find it, in order to buy good seeds and plant them in Xuzhou Mansion in large quantities, a Hui merchant named Fan Li also donated a full 5,000 silver!" ”

"How did it get to your Pu Tingnan's mouth, and it became a businessman who 'accidentally' brought it into Xuzhou Mansion, and the people planted it spontaneously? I've seen a lot of people who take credit, but it's the first one like you who is so brazen! ”

After reading the report of Yuxi, Pu Tingnan was inexplicably frightened, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty Mingjian!" Your Majesty! Wechen doesn't know what's going on, Wechen didn't mean to deceive His Majesty, Wechen was also blinded! ”

“…… Weichen just heard from the officials of the Xuzhou Mansion that there was such a thing as artichoke, and the people planted it spontaneously, but they didn't know that this was actually found by Gu Yunji with great difficulty. If Weichen knew that this was his credit, how could he not mention his name at all? ”

"Weichen's mistake is that the news is lagging behind, I never thought that His Majesty already knew about the artichoke, and he came here to waste His Majesty's time, but Weichen has no intention of preempting Gu Yunji's credit, please Your Majesty Mingjian!"

Pu Tingnan's words were half-true and half-false, begging for mercy and tears, and there was really a little bit of grief and indignation that he had been wronged.

Emperor Jingfeng sneered: "Okay, since you said that you don't know, then let's put this matter aside for the time being, let's talk about another matter." ”

As he spoke, Emperor Jingfeng stretched out a hand towards Cheng Yan and shouted, "Cheng Yan! ”

Cheng Yan handed over Qian Xun's original report with great eyes, and then silently stepped aside, looking at his nose and nose.

Emperor Jingfeng scribbled the newspaper to a certain page, and threw it on Pu Tingnan's face: "You explain to me, according to the special envoy Qian Xun, the grain tax in Xuzhou this summer has been paid more than 90,000 stones, why did it become 70,000 stones in the grain tax account book you wrote?" Where did the 20,000 stone go? ”

"This ...... This ......"

Pu Tingnan's expression was panicked, looking at the many crimes recorded in Qian Xun's newspaper, including food taxes, his face instantly turned pale, his hands trembled so much that he could barely hold it, and he couldn't say a word.

There are piles on it, all of which are things he has done, and ten heads are not enough to cut off. Since Emperor Jingfeng was able to show him the report, it means that he must have the evidence in his hands, why didn't he hear any news before?

Unless Emperor Jingfeng made up his mind to deal with him, he specially blocked the news, and waited for him to report back to Beijing at the end of the year and throw himself into the net.

Thinking of this, a look of despair swelled on Pu Tingnan's face, and the whole person collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud.

The long-pent-up anger came out, and Emperor Jingfeng was full of momentum, and slapped the table and said angrily: "Look at your dog!" If I scare you a little, you'll be scared to death! I can't even think of a decent defense in the face of accusations, and when I look at you like this, I don't need to look it up, and I know that what I said above is true! ”

"Just a low-class state capital, Xuzhou Mansion, you can steal 20,000 stone of grain, if I send you to Jiangnan, the land of fish and rice, you must not empty the granary? The rat has to cry when he sees you! ”

Pu Tingnan was single-handedly raised by Emperor Jingfeng, and when he first ascended the throne in the early years, he was isolated and helpless, and Pu Tingnan was one of the few courtiers he could trust. Now that Emperor Jingfeng is in a stable position and has great power, Pu Tingnan has also been fascinated by greed, and he is rotten from the inside out.

For Pu Tingnan, Emperor Jingfeng was angry, but also hated that iron could not become steel, and the more he talked, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but go down and kick him hard: "What did you say when I sent you to Sichuan?" You said that you would guard the southwest for me, so that I have no worries, that's how you guard?! ”

Pu Tingnan's face was full of water stains, I don't know if it was sweat or tears, he didn't dare to hide when he was kicked by Emperor Jingfeng, and he reacted in hindsight, hugged his leg and cried: "Your Majesty spare your life!" Your Majesty spares your life! Weichen knows that he is wrong, Your Majesty will spare Weichen's life......"

"Now you know it's wrong? It's late! Even if I can tolerate you, the law of the land will not tolerate you! ”

Emperor Jingfeng was unmoved, kicked him away, and shouted outside: "Come on, take Pu Tingnan down to me and hand him over to the Criminal Department for trial!" ”
