Chapter 163; Enigmatical
As he saw Huo Junyao's ability again and again, the Emperor Taishang paid more attention to this granddaughter in addition to his original love.
Don't look at him who has taken a back seat, but he is also very concerned about the future of the Yu Dynasty.
He couldn't look down on the prince's approach, but because the other party was the prince, there were many things he couldn't say clearly.
After all, what he, the emperor, said would have a very huge impact, and if he didn't get it right, it might cause a shock in the court.
But this time is different, Huo Junyao's potential has been revealed, combined with some of her attitudes towards the emperor and queen some time ago.
The old man knows very well that this granddaughter is not a foolish master, he must show his attitude, otherwise this little girl is afraid that even he will not care.
If this is the case, he knows very well that it will definitely be a loss for the Yu Dynasty.
So when he heard Ning Yang's words at this time, he also clicked on Emperor Zhaowu, hoping that he would be able to correct his attitude in the future and not blindly favor his son, thus chilling the hearts of some important people.
The important people here are not only Huo Junyao, but also the eldest princess of Ningyang and Huo Jingzhi.
From the beginning of the year to the present, he has heard that the family of the Duke of Ji has begun to estranged from the emperor, which is not a good phenomenon.
Whether it is personal feelings or national level, he does not want to see the relationship between the two continue to deteriorate like this.
Emperor Zhaowu is also a smart person, and when he heard his father's words, he understood what he meant, but things have already turned out like this, and he will not find a chance to make up for it for a while.
In the past few months, he didn't think about making up for it, but the family of the Ji Guo Mansion didn't give him a chance.
Thinking about it, he had invited Ning Yang into the palace many times, but she had never been there.
If it was on others, he might be able to be tougher, but he didn't dare at all for his sister.
Of course, I don't dare to say anything like this, more because I feel ashamed in my heart, embarrassed to be tough, and afraid of making the relationship between each other more rigid.
The Emperor Taishang can see the situation, how can he not see it, Ji Guogong's Mansion was originally the party he relied on the most, but now that it is like this, he is also quite helpless.
"Since the Emperor Taishang and the Emperor have arrived, let's go to Yaoyao's Little Emperor Village to have a look, I heard that it is a new grain planted."
Huo Jingzhi did not continue this topic, firstly, he has a lot of dissatisfaction with the emperor in his heart, but the other party is the emperor, and the monarch and the minister are different, even if he is dissatisfied, he will not show it.
"New grain?"
Emperor Zhaowu was quite interested.
"Ningyang, do you know?"
However, the eldest princess of Ningyang, who was questioned, didn't give Emperor Zhaowu any face, and she didn't even answer and got into the carriage by herself.
Seeing this scene, Emperor Zhaowu touched his nose a little sneeringly, but the Emperor Taishang on the side sighed slightly in his heart.
"Respectfully, you can have a car with the old man, it just so happens that the old man is also very curious about what this new grain is."
When the Emperor Taishang spoke, Huo Jingzhi naturally understood what he meant.
Although he was dissatisfied with the emperor, as a courtier of the Yu Dynasty and as a family, he still hoped that he could talk about things and make the relationship between them not so stiff.
There's no way, after all, his identity and status are there, and he hasn't thought about rebellion or anything, even if he is dissatisfied, he still hopes to resolve one or two.
The three of them got into the carriage, and Emperor Zhaowu was not in a hurry to ask.
Although he knew that if he asked, Huo Jingzhi would definitely not lose face like Ning Yang, but since the Emperor Taishang was on the side, it was still a link between them to let the Emperor ask him.
The Emperor did not live up to his hopes.
It's just that Huo Jingzhi doesn't know much about this corn, that is, he has simply heard about it, and he has eaten some of it.
But Rao is like this, and he still hangs the interest of Emperor Zhaowu and Emperor Taishang.
When the group arrived at Xiaohuangzhuang, Emperor Zhaowu asked in surprise; "Why is there a wall around this little Huangzhuang?"
He was very clear about the previous situation of this small Huangzhuang, saying that it was Huangzhuang, but it was actually no different from an ordinary village.
"This is Yaoyao asked people to get it, because the ministers don't know."
Huo Jingzhi didn't talk nonsense, he was already busy, and he rarely had time to leave the capital, and the few times he came to visit his daughter, he went directly to the hot spring villa, and Xiaohuangzhuang never came here at all.
He had only heard about the wall.
"The corn planted by my daughter is very expensive, it is related to the food and clothing of the people of the entire Yu Dynasty, so naturally we have to make it stricter, what if some people have a brain pump and destroy?"
The eldest princess of Ningyang suddenly answered, but these people had some meanings.
Emperor Zhaowu was very helpless about her yin and yang weirdness, but he couldn't find a reason to refute such considerations.
If it really concerns the entire Yu Dynasty, don't say that it is a wall, even if he arranges some soldiers to come and guard it.
"Ning Yang knows about this corn, so let's talk about it to my father."
Regarding the old man's question, the eldest princess of Ningyang had another attitude, with a smile on her face and a little pride in her eyes.
"Father, this corn is a kind of grain that has never appeared in our Yu Dynasty."
"The reason why Yaoyao has it is because she still relies on the legacy of her strange master."
"This thing grows very big, and the grain it produces is much larger than ordinary grain, and the taste is sweet and soft."
"This is not the most important thing, I heard Yaoyao say before that the yield per mu of this corn can reach more than 1,000 catties."
As soon as her words fell, several people on the side widened their eyes in shock, even Huo Jingzhi and Huo Jinyan's father and son.
Although they all know about corn, they don't know much about the yield per acre.
Huo Junyao didn't say it either, but when the eldest princess of Ningyang asked before, she said it simply.
It's just that the eldest princess of Ningyang was skeptical about it at that time.
The grain per mu is placed in the current Yu Dynasty, which is indeed a very unimaginable thing.
But why did he say it at this time, it was naturally somewhat like Emperor Zhaowu's showmanship.
Let your son look down on my daughter, look at how powerful my daughter is?
"Really?"
Emperor Zhaowu was a little short of breath.
The food problem of the people has always been one of the most troublesome things for him as an emperor.
If this corn can really reach a yield of 1,000 catties per mu, it will definitely be a godsend food, and the food problem of the people of the Yu Dynasty will be greatly alleviated.
"What Yaoyao said, I don't know if it's so, but I don't think it's much worse."
Seeing Emperor Zhaowu like this, although the eldest princess of Ningyang was still a little angry, her daughter's appearance made her mood a little happy.
