Failed to cross the robbery, lie down and farm, so cool

Seeing that Lin Jiayou had spoken out to persuade him to make peace, the emperor was not ashamed to put his family's relationship on the table, lest others would see the joke.

"Then Lin Aiqing, tell me about the situation in Zhangzhou."

Lin Jiayou had already said it when Mingzhen arrived, and now the emperor asked him to say it again, obviously for the king of Chu.

Lin Jiayou nodded and said, "My lord had a bumper harvest of corn planted in Zhangzhou three months ago, which greatly alleviated the plight of food shortage in Zhangzhou. Moreover, the soil of the deserted fields after the waterlogging in Zhangzhou has improved, and the people of Zhangzhou have recovered. The enthusiasm for production is high, and the whole Zhangzhou is full of vitality. It’s not that Xiaguan is boasting about Haikou. I think that within a year, the people of Zhangzhou will be able to eat enough! Xiaguan thank the prince on behalf of the people of Zhangzhou!”

Hearing this, the emperor nodded his head, suppressed his anger towards Mingzhen, and said, "This time, the king of Chu has indeed made a contribution."

Ming Zhen: "The emperor's words are serious. This is the job of the humble minister, and I dare not take credit for it."

Mingze curled his lips, it's good to know.

Seeing this, Bai Li asked Lin Jiayou seemingly unintentionally: "May I ask Governor Lin, the people of Zhangzhou are thankful, is it the prince or Miss Luo?"

Lin Jiayou was startled, and looked at Bai Li in panic, and then at King Chu.

Although he is far away in Zhangzhou, he is not completely ignorant of royal rumors.

I heard that Princess Bailing was demoted to a commoner, it was Luo Yu's handwriting.

He originally wanted to bring the true voice of the people of Zhangzhou to the imperial court today, but when Commander Naihe Bai was present, how could he mention Miss Luo?

After all, Bai Ling is the younger sister of Commander Bai, so he should be dissatisfied, right?As for how much rift he has with Mrs. Wang Ye Luo, he dare not test it out, so it is best to avoid this sensitive topic.

But what he didn't expect was that he didn't mention it, and Commander Bai actually brought it up by himself. This was unexpected for him, so he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Bai Li smiled slightly, stared at Lin Jiayou with unclear eyes, and continued: "Governor Lin, as the parent officer of Zhangzhou, doesn't he know what the people of Zhangzhou are thinking?"

Lin Jiayou replied hesitantly: "Commander Bai's words have made the lower officials panic!"

He is indeed terrified!

I didn't say it at first because I was afraid of offending Bai Li, but now Bai Li brought it up by herself, what exactly does it mean?
Seeing this, the emperor asked suspiciously, "Commander Bai, what do you mean?"

Bai Li saluted the emperor, and then said calmly: "Your Majesty, Miss Luo accompanied the prince during his trip to Zhangzhou."

Mingze's face darkened in an instant, and he shouted at Mingzhen: "Bastard! I sent you to work in Zhangzhou, and you took it as a trip to the mountains and rivers to talk about love! No wonder the barbarians are here with you You ran away under your nose, so you didn't take it seriously at all! Mingzhen, what do you take my will for!"

Ming Zhen's face was gloomy, and he didn't say a word in the face of the emperor's accusation.

But Lin Jiayou thumped and knelt down, and said in a crying voice: "Your Majesty, please calm down! The people of Zhangzhou owe it all to Miss Luo, otherwise, the whole Zhangzhou is still in dire straits!"

Mingze sneered and said, "Hmph, Lin Aiqing, you don't need to plead for him!"

Bai Li glanced at the indifferent King of Chu, then at Lin Jiayou who was kneeling on the ground, smiled, and said, "Governor Lin, the King of Chu is not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry for?"

Lin Jiayou was taken aback, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Commander Bai, since the subordinate officials are Zhangzhou's parents, I can't let them down. If I didn't have selfish intentions just now, then the emperor wouldn't blame Chu Wang, in the final analysis it is the fault of the lower officials."

"Since that's the case, then you should tell the emperor well, tell the truth!"

Lin Jiayou looked up at Bai Li, saw that he was not joking, and sighed secretly, it turned out that he was treating the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.He restrained his emotions and solemnly said to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, in fact, the plan to open up wasteland and plant corn in Zhangzhou was really done by Miss Luo. At that time, I hadn't arrived in Zhangzhou, so I didn't know the specifics of the matter. But it has been more than three months since I took office, and I heard that the people The most talked about is how Ms. Luo personally led them to open up wasteland and cultivate land, and taught them the skills of farming, so that they successfully turned the barren yellow mud into oases, so that they could have enough food. Xiaguan enters Beijing Before the report, the people of Zhangzhou asked me to thank Miss Luo on their behalf, saying that Miss Luo is their savior, and I beg the emperor to reward her!"

The emperor was shocked when he heard that, he looked at Mingzhen who was silent, and then at Baili with a calm face, and couldn't help asking: "Then why didn't you say it just now?"

Lin Jiayou glanced at Bai Li, and said guiltily, "It's my minister who is too cautious, please blame the emperor!"

The emperor suddenly understood that he was afraid of touching Bai Li's reverse scale.

"Commander Bai, why didn't you tell me when you came back?"

Bai Li was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the grain was not yet harvested at that time, what should I say?"

It is said that the king of Chu let go of Yiren Xizuo in order to save a woman?

Besides, it was the King of Chu himself who came back to report on his work. If he didn't say anything himself, there was no need for him to get involved.

The emperor glanced at Ming Zhen, feeling angry in his heart, and said, "King Chu, how many things are you hiding from me?"

Ming Zhen made a slight bow and said, "Your Majesty, there are no more."

The emperor snorted, "If Commander Bai hadn't brought it up today, do you intend to continue to hide it? Or do you want to take the credit for yourself?"

Ming Zhen raised his head, glanced at the emperor, and said, "As a courtier, I never dare to take credit, and everything I do is my duty."

The emperor seemed to have hit the cotton with his fist, unable to exert any strength at all.What he knew about Luo Yu, he thought that he only had some medical skills, and he didn't know anything else.

Although he knew that Mingzhen's feelings for her were indeed extraordinary, he didn't take it seriously. After all, her identity was there, and this was a hurdle that he thought was difficult to overcome.

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the empress dowager's funeral which was not suitable for arranging weddings, so that Ming Zhen would gradually cool down, thus changing his attitude towards her.Unexpectedly, this girl did something like this today.

Being able to be loved by the people of Zhangzhou shows that he is not an ordinary person.

Moreover, the entire Zhangzhou is in a hot atmosphere of resuming production and work, all of which originate from her.

In this way, she does have some real skills.

But she seemed so unassuming, never taking credit, that it amazed him.

"You are a courtier, of course it is your duty. But that girl helped you make achievements, so is it also your duty?"

Ming Zhen: "People of Dalu, everything you do is your duty."

The emperor trembled slightly, and stopped arguing with him, and said: "Whether it's duty or meritorious service, I will reward you! A woman like her is indeed rare!"

Ming Zhen: ...

Is this the promise of his marriage with Yu'er?
