Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 180;

Although Wen Songtao was terrified, if he didn't seize the opportunity at this time, it would not be so easy to think about what to do when Lu Yaoyao was sent to death row.

At this moment, he still chooses to believe in Lu Yaoyao.

"Your Majesty calm down, I think."

"To shut up."

His words were interrupted again by Emperor Hongwen's fury.

But Wen Songtao was as determined as he was, he walked out of the queue and knelt heavily.

"I know that Your Majesty is furious when he hears what Lord Wanfu has done."

"However, I have had many interactions with Lord Wanfu Township, and I believe that she will not do such an unconscionable thing."

"Your Majesty, if you think about it, she can dedicate such precious sacred food as sweet potatoes to the imperial court, how can she do such evil things?"

Wen Songtao is Emperor Hongwen's confidant minister, who has helped him a lot over the years, and the relationship between the monarch and his ministers is also very good in private.

Seeing him kneeling below and listening to his words, Emperor Hongwen's anger eased a little.

Indeed, when he heard Geng Chen's words just now, he was really annoyed and lost his mind.

Hearing Wen Songtao's words now, he couldn't help but think back to the few times he met Lu Yaoyao. Although this girl dissatisfied him a little, she really didn't seem like a person who could do such evil things.

Seeing that his mood had eased, Wen Songtao quickly seized this opportunity to speak again.

"Hmph, does the right minister mean that I wrongly framed Lord Wanfu?"

"The truth doesn't mean that."

"It's just that those just now are Geng Yushi's one-sided remarks. Although Lu Yaoyao is just a country lord, she has presented sweet potatoes and potatoes to the court. I really don't think it should be judged so hastily."

Emperor Hongwen nodded secretly in his heart. It was indeed Geng Chen's one-sided remarks just now, and what Lu Yaoyao offered was not only potatoes and sweet potatoes, but also other things.

Especially for the latter two, he has already had people start preparations in secret, and is planning to wait a while before Xuan Lu Yaoyao enters the palace to talk in detail again.

If he just dealt with her like this, wouldn't it mean that all his preparations were in vain?
Now that there is a severe drought and the national treasury's eyes are shrinking, he urgently needs a lot of money, paper and books, which can bring huge benefits.

It seems that it is not the time to deal with Lu Yaoyao.

And Geng Chen who was beside him snorted again when he heard Wen Songtao's words.

"Then according to the right minister's words, as long as they have meritorious service to the court, they can be allowed to do evil?"

"The truth does not say that Lu Yaoyao is innocent, why did Geng Yushi take it out of context?"

Wen Songtao glanced at Geng Chen, then cupped his hands at Emperor Hongwen and said, "Your Majesty, I think you should announce Lu Yaoyao to the palace. Whether she has done it or not, you have to ask in person."

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen nodded inwardly.

"Li De, you go there yourself."

"No, Your Majesty."

At this time, Gao Yanming, the minister from the left, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "The gentleman of Wanfu Township is a woman, how can I go to this golden hall?"

"Geng Yushi has always been upright and upright, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty knows about civil and military affairs."

"Gao Xiang's words are correct. Does it mean that the life of a woman is not life?"

"Although Wanfu Township Lord is a woman, she has selflessly offered the food that will keep the people of Dongzhou alive in the future. Can't you give her a chance to defend herself?"

"Geng Yushi is upright and upright, and the truth is naturally known, but people's hearts are far away, even saints make mistakes sometimes, let alone others?"

For Gao Xiang to stand up at this time, Wen Songtao didn't give him any face.

Even Geng Chen is no exception.

Gao Yanming was silent, but Geng Chen seemed to have been insulted, his face was as gloomy as water.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to refute, Wen Songtao didn't give him a chance at all, and bowed directly to Emperor Hongwen again.

"Mr. Wanfu Township and Dongzhou have meritorious service. I beg Your Majesty to give her a chance to defend herself. Even if she is really guilty, there is no reason to pronounce the sentence directly without the parties present."

"What the Prime Minister said is very true, I beg Your Majesty to give Lord Wanfu a fair interrogation."

People from the right faction all stood up.

Seeing this situation, Emperor Hongwen pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Then Xuan Lu Yaoyao will go to the palace."

This time, no one came out to stop him.

Li De personally led the order out of the hall.

At the farm in the suburbs of Beijing, Lu Yaoyao had just had breakfast and was discussing with Lao Kang about digging a well.

The original wells in Zhuangshang were relatively shallow. It has not rained for almost two months, and the water level of the wells has dropped a lot.

If it doesn't rain again, these wells will stop producing water in a few days.

Therefore, she felt that it was necessary to drill deep water wells. Yesterday she also used the universal search engine to learn about the situation of pressurized wells.

Not so early in the morning, she asked Qiu Yu to call Lao Kang over and discuss with him.

"Miss's concern is exactly what I've been thinking about these past few days."

"Then arrange people to start the work, and this matter must not be delayed."

"Yes."

As soon as Lao Kang left, Lu Yaoyao also got up and went to the study, planning to get out the blueprint of the water pressure device that can bring up the water in the deep well.

She's just fiddled with the blueprint, and she's planning to let Qiu Yu take it to the carpenter in the village to see if she can make one.

Outside, Qiushuang hurried over.

"Miss, Eunuch Wang De, who is in front of His Majesty, is here."

"What is he doing?"

Before Qiushuang could answer, Wang De's voice came from behind.

"Mr. Wanfu Township, hurry up, come with our house, Your Majesty will summon you."

"Eunuch Wang De, why did you come here on such a hot day? His Majesty summoned you? What's the matter? Can you tell me first, so that I can make some preparations."

She thought that His Majesty's summoning was for paper making and living printing.

After all, at present, His Majesty can summon her, that's all.

"No need to prepare anything."

"There is a censor impeaching you, and now His Majesty and the courtiers are waiting to have a public trial on you."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Yaoyao, Qiu Yu and Qiu Shuang were all taken aback.

"What did you just say?"

Qiu Yu was the first to ask stupidly.

Wang De hastily talked briefly about what happened in the hall today.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Yu was furious.

"What a dog, since you dare to slander my lady, I'll go and chop off his dog's head now."

"I'll go with you."

Even Qiushuang, who has always been relatively calm, was furious this time.

What the hell, when did my lady bully and enslave the disaster victims?
Obviously, it gave these victims hope to live. For half a month, there were four to five thousand victims outside their Zhuangzi.

This is already far more than the [-] people recruited initially.

For the one thousand people they recruited at the beginning, the total number of family members who followed them was only two thousand and five six, but now it has doubled.

Because of what?Not because there were too many disaster victims pouring into the capital, the young lady of their family showed mercy and recruited more than a thousand people.

A total of two thousand people have been recruited, but four or five thousand mouths have to be raised.

How much pressure has been relieved by helping the court, but they have not received a good word, and someone impeached their young lady. If His Majesty is furious and does not give a chance to defend, their young lady will have to be beheaded for no apparent reason?
