Space Farming: Pampered

Chapter 164 The Decree
The water in the pond is not deep.

After Brother Lin fell into the pond, he found himself very embarrassed.

Strands of hair stuck to the face, and the clothes were soaked in the water in the pond, and they were too wet to cover the spring.

She wanted to appear in front of Mr. Shen with her most beautiful and charming side, but she didn't want to look like a drowned chicken like she is now.

After Brother Lin realized that his current image was not very good-looking, he tried his best to control himself not to make a sound, so as not to be discovered by Shen Mu and leave a bad impression on him.

After hearing the sound of Shen Mu leaving, she was relieved and wanted to get out of the pond.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she raised her head, she saw a slender figure standing by the pond.

It was pitch black, and she didn't see clearly whether the figure was a human or a ghost, so she fell into the pond again with a cry of surprise.

Standing by the pond, Shen Jintang saw that she had drunk enough water, and then said to Su Guang: "Since this Brother Lin likes this pond so much, you should watch her soak in the pond for a while."

When Su Guang heard the words, he responded with a quick yes.

Shen Jintang had expected that this woman would not be peaceful, so he had already arranged everything.

If she was honest, she would naturally not touch her, but if she insisted on seducing Shen Mu, then she can't be blamed for being cruel.

Brother Lin finally heard the voice of Shen Jintang.

She understood everything immediately.

It turned out that Shen Jintang knew everything he had done.

It must have been the complaint from that old woman, Nanny Gao.

Poor her waiting here like a clown for Shen Mu to freeze for most of the night, and finally fell into the pond.

Under Su Guang's supervision, Brother Lin soaked in the pond for two full hours.

Her whole body was frozen and stiff, her lips were pale, and when she was about to faint, Su Guang had someone fish her out of the pond.

After Brother Lin was fished out of the pond, he fell ill that night.

Naturally, no one had the kindness to ask her for a doctor.

Shen Jintang would not be kind enough to help her read it.

She would only go to the doctor for a woman who tried to seduce her father unless her mind was cramped.

Shen Jintang told Nanny Gao to watch over her, so she couldn't let her die of illness in the mansion, and she couldn't let her have the chance to go out to be a demon again.

Now the food planted in the ground has grown.

As long as the money is in place, the speed of the court is also very fast.

It didn't take long for the pharmaceutical factory to be built, and batches of insecticide powder had been produced, distributed to various state capitals, and then distributed to various counties by the state capitals.

Therefore, Shen Mu has been very busy in the past few days, distributing insecticide powder to the counties under his jurisdiction.

Due to the severe drought this year, the harvest was not much, and the imperial court also exempted all local taxes.

But who knows that the frontier actually launched a war.

If there is a war, it is necessary to collect grain and grass, but this year's harvest is not good, and the national treasury is not full.

After Shen Jintang found out, he asked Shen Mu to donate [-] shi of grain to the frontier.

The grain she builds in Zhuangzi every year has not been sold, but is stored in the warehouse, just in case of emergencies.

Shen Mu knew that his daughter had to buy a lot of food and medicinal materials in various villages every year.

So when he heard that Shen Jintang asked him to donate food, he agreed without hesitation.

The emperor of the court is very worried about food and grass.

I saw the memorial written by Shen Mu to donate [-] shi of grain.

Immediately, Long Yan was delighted, holding the memorial and laughing loudly.

The ministers in the court did not even dare to breathe too heavily recently, for fear of offending the emperor.

When going to court, everyone is in danger, for fear that any fire will suddenly burn themselves.

In the end, I saw the emperor laughing out loud at the latest memorial presented, and was at a loss for a while, not knowing why the emperor was so happy.

"Come on, take the memorial down and let all the lovers see it." The emperor handed the memorial to Eunuch Chu and said to him.

Eunuch Chu responded respectfully, took the memorial with both hands, and first handed it to Prime Minister Pei to watch.

Since Prime Minister Pei was rescued by Shen Jintang and recuperated, he still came to court.

As soon as he opened the memorial, the first thing that catches his eyes was the flowing handwriting, and Prime Minister Pei couldn't help but praise him.

Immediately afterwards, he read it word by word from the beginning.

After reading it, Prime Minister Pei immediately passed the memorial to the people behind him.

Then he cupped his fists with both hands and said with a happy face, "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

The emperor stroked his beard and laughed a few times.

"If there are more officials like Shen Aiqing in Dachu who can lend a helping hand when the country needs it, then why should I worry about the instability of the country?"

At this time, other officials also read the memorial one after another, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they all congratulated the emperor together.

The big stone in the emperor's heart was removed because of this memorial, and he felt much more relaxed.

Your Majesty: "One hundred thousand shi of grain is not a small amount. We have to send people to Qingzhou to collect it and transport it to the frontier. Do you have any recommended candidates?"

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials looked at each other in blank dismay and then recommended someone they thought was suitable.

Some people say they recommend the second prince and the third prince, while others recommend the court ministers.

Prime Minister Pei remained silent for a while, and the emperor asked him with a smile: "Pei Aiqing, do you have a favorite candidate?"

Prime Minister Pei pondered for a moment, then said: "The old minister thinks His Royal Highness Taisun is more suitable."

As soon as this remark came out, the court fell silent.

Immediately, some people commented and said: "These princes are all here, why is it not the grandson's turn to go down?"

"That's right, His Royal Highness has not reached the age of crown yet."

There is everything in the court.

The emperor pondered for a moment when he heard the words, and then decided directly: "Yi'er is not young this year, and it's time to practice. Let Yi'er do this."

The emperor's voice fell, and the ministers said nothing more.

The highest-ranking prime minister and the emperor in the court both wanted His Royal Highness the grandson to go, so what else could they say.

The matter was urgent, and the emperor immediately announced his next court when he saw that there were no objections from the ministers.

When he returned to the imperial study, he picked up his pen and ink, and wrote down the imperial decree.

Now Gu Baiyi still lives in the East Palace, which is where his parents lived.

Ever since his parents, the crown prince and the princess concubine, passed away one after another, Gu Baiyi followed the emperor himself to take care of him when he was young, and when he was four or five years old, the emperor let him go back to live in the East Palace.

The East Palace of the crown prince was also built in the palace, not far from where the emperor lived.

At the beginning, the emperor named Gu Baiyi as grandson, and ordered him to return to live in the East Palace, which shocked many people.

Everyone is guessing the emperor's intention of doing this.

Could it be that the prince is gone, the emperor does not appoint other princes as princes, but appoints a grandson and asks the grandson to move to the East Palace. Is it the emperor's attitude that he wants his highness to take over the throne?

Because of this, the young Gu Baiyi was often conspired and assassinated.

When Eunuch Chu rushed to the East Palace with the imperial decree, Gu Baiyi was looking at the portrait drawn by Shen Jintang in the study.

He was thinking that he hadn't seen her for a while, when he heard the report from the palace that Eunuch Chu had come to deliver the decree.

After receiving the imperial decree, Gu Baiyi looked at Eunuch Chu, and said to him: "Eunuch Chu, please tell my grandfather on behalf of my highness, that Yi'er must do well the job my grandfather gave me."

When Eunuch Chu heard the words, he respectfully replied yes.

Although the emperor has many princes, his favorites are the former highness the crown prince and the current grandson.

They are neither arrogant nor impetuous, and people can't help but respect them from the bottom of their hearts.
