I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 164 Killing two birds with one stone, Lao Zhu’s decision!
At the scene, all the officials were shocked, staring blankly at His Highness the Grandson.

He pretended to be a god and became addicted, did he really regard himself as a god?

Can you eat food from unknown sources?
But before they recovered from the shock, Lao Zhu also took a sweet potato and ate it.

"Hey, let alone, this taste is really good, sweet but not greasy, just right, do you want to try it?"

Lao Zhu was all smiles.

"I want to eat too!"

"I want to give it a try too!"

"It's the same with the minister."

……

His Majesty the emperor has tried it, how can they turn a blind eye to these courtiers.

Even if it is poison, you have to eat it!
At that moment, all the ministers present took a sweet potato and ate it.

In all fairness, sweet potatoes are not a very delicious food.

But for one thing, there were not many delicious things in this era, and there were not as many excellent varieties of fruits as there were in later generations.

Secondly, people always have a special fondness for foods they try for the first time.

Therefore, when everyone ate it, they immediately felt it was extremely delicious.

"It tastes really good."

For a while, all the ministers praised him.

"Hahaha!"

Old Zhu looked up to the sky and laughed.

"If this thing is planted on a large scale, why would the people of Ming Dynasty worry about not having enough to eat?"

When the officials heard the words, they all had mixed feelings.

There were all kinds of doubts about the emperor's grandson before, but now all of them disappeared.

They have eaten all the sweet potatoes, no problem.

I have witnessed with my own eyes how high the output is.

It is conceivable that once planting is promoted on a large scale, Daming's grain production will increase to a terrifying level.

Shen Nong tasted hundreds of herbs, planted five grains, and was called a saint forever.

Zhu Yunzhen offered sweet potatoes so that no more people would die of hunger in the world, and he would be worthy of the word "saint".

"The sky has eyes, and His Majesty the Great Grandson has been sent to me, the Ming Dynasty! All the people in the world are blessed!"

Liu Sanwu held the sweet potatoes in his hands and knelt down excitedly, his eyes filled with tears.

He is genuinely happy.

Not just him, many ministers are the same.

Although they usually compete for power in the court, many people still hope to do something for the people and the world.

Perhaps this does not affect their corruption and bribery, and does not affect their encounter with anything, they are to protect their own interests first.

But as long as I can, I will still think about the people and the common people.

Selfishness is one aspect, wanting to do things for the world is another aspect.

Human nature is diverse and has many sides.

Even Huang Zicheng and his like still firmly believe that what they do is for the common people of the world, for the common people of Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Huang Zicheng was not around, and was imprisoned in Jinyiwei's prison.

Qi Tai, who has been colluding with him, is still there.

He was holding the sweet potato and standing there with mixed feelings.

am I wrong?

Why should we oppose the emperor's grandson?

Not to mention his contribution to pacifying the Japanese pirates, just by offering sweet potatoes, his contribution is immeasurable.

He kept saying that he was for the world and for the benefit of the people.

Establish a life for the living and the people, establish a heart for the world, inherit the knowledge of the past, and create peace for all generations.

But even if you serve as an official for a lifetime and serve the people conscientiously, can your contribution be as good as offering sweet potatoes?

Not comparable.

Is it comparable to the suppression of Japanese pirates?
I'm afraid it can't compare.

Qitai was worried and thinking wildly.

Looking at His Highness Taisun not far away, his mood became more and more complicated.

Many people were like him, and their emotions at this time were very subtle.

On the one hand, they did not deal with His Highness the Grandson, and it was very unpleasant for them to see him.

On the other hand, I have to admit that Taisun's offering of sweet potatoes has made a great contribution to the country.

"I congratulate your majesty on acquiring this magical object. From now on, the people of the Ming Dynasty no longer have to worry about hunger. This is an achievement that has never been seen in a thousand years. I congratulate your majesty and congratulate all the people in the world!"

An official said respectfully.

"Congratulations to His Majesty, and congratulations to the people of the world!"

"Congratulations to His Majesty, and congratulations to the people of the world!"

……

All the officials congratulated, and Lao Zhu laughed heartily.

"Come here, please announce immediately that His Highness Taisun is offering the sacred sweet potato, and post a notice in Jinling. At the same time, we will order all the government offices across the country to inform the people."

He paused, and then said: "The news that the imperial court has named him "Lingxiao God of War Daluo Tianxian Xuantiandang Moyou Shengzhenjun" will be announced together, and it will be known to the world."

Zhu Yunxuan was startled for a moment. Lao Zhu had completely pushed him to the "god status".

Ping the Japanese pirates and the like, after all, are just stories, the chatter of ordinary people after dinner.

Some people enjoy it, and some people just laugh it off.

In history, there were not a few virtuous officials and generals who were regarded as gods by the people.

Such as Guan Yu, such as Bao Zheng, such as Yu Chigong and so on.

But the actual influence is not very great.

The common people sacrificed and returned to sacrifice, turned around and left the temple and forgot.

After all, Chinese people mostly adopt pragmatic principles in their worship of gods.

Ask God to do something!

Burning incense and worshiping Buddha is all to get rewards.

This is what most people think.

However, if you associate sweet potato with his title, it will be completely different.

When people plant sweet potatoes, they will think of him and appreciate his kindness.

In addition, it can also eliminate people's resistance to new things.

Just as the ministers in the DPRK dare not try sweet potatoes.

The common people did not dare to plant crops they had never seen before.

They still prefer to grow what they are familiar with.

This is also the instinct of human nature.

Everyone does this and avoids unknown risks.

Historically, it took hundreds of years for sweet potatoes to be introduced into China and then cultivated on a large scale.

But if there is a "god" to endorse them, the number of people willing to try planting will greatly increase.

Although there are still many stubborn people who do not want to believe it, there have always been many people who are willing to listen to "God's" instructions.

Coupled with the government's vigorous promotion, it is believed that within a few years, the cultivation of sweet potatoes will be fully popularized in Daming.

Lao Zhu, this is a plan to kill two birds with one stone.

It not only promoted sweet potatoes, but also enhanced Zhu Yunxuan's status among the people.

All the officials praised again, and it was another flattery.

Immediately, Lao Zhu ordered the cook to prepare the luncheon, and according to the method taught by Zhu Yunxi, the sweet potatoes were made in different ways.

When Lao Zhu and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty ate the delicious roasted sweet potatoes, they all had their eyes full of enthusiasm and ate them happily.

Raw sweet potatoes can only be said to be pulpy and ordinary, but roasted sweet potatoes are the real delicacy in the world.

The royal chef of the palace has excellent skills.

Even though it was the first time to bake it, it was still crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, full of aroma.

All the ministers called it delicious and were very excited.

If there is anyone who is not happy, probably Zhu Yunqi is the only one.

The better the sweet potato tastes and the higher the yield, the more excited Lao Zhu and the courtiers are, and the more pain he feels in his heart.

The officials' flattery, Lao Zhu's praise, and Zhu Yunzhen's smile fell on his ears like knives, cutting into his heart one by one.

But Zhu Yunqi still had to pretend to laugh, pretending to be happy for his "brother".

However, when he lowered his head to eat, before everyone noticed, Zhu Yunqi clenched his fist tightly.

"I must die! I must die! Die...die...die!"

At this moment, Lao Zhu's voice sounded loudly.

"Zhen'er is both civilized and military. Since he was appointed to supervise the country, he has been able to govern the country with ease. Exterminating the Japanese pirates can be done with a snap of the finger. Offering sweet potatoes will bring blessings to all people."

"I am getting old, my energy is low, and I am getting old. The terrain of the Jinling Palace is high in the south and low in the north. The humidity in the house makes me sick."

"I am determined to entrust all political affairs to Li'er, and leave the city to live a happy life."

"From now on, all the memorials, no matter how important they are, will be decided by Xi'er, and there is no need to play them with me."

After saying this, all the officials froze in shock, their mouths wide open.

What Lao Zhu said was almost announcing that he was going to be the "Supreme Emperor".

From then on, the Ming Dynasty was handed over to Tai Sun.

For an emperor who was still in his prime during the Spring and Autumn Period, this was an extremely rare thing.

Almost all the emperors in history were unwilling to take a back seat and become the "overlord".

Unexpectedly, His Majesty today has no regrets.

Instead, I handed it over impatiently.

"No!" Hearing Lao Zhu's words, Zhu Yunqi cried out in pain, and the forced smile on his face froze.

His face was slowly distorted by extreme jealousy and hatred.

He could not accept the fact that Zhu Yunzhen had monopolized power from then on.

That's his younger brother, he is the older brother.

Why should he listen to his brother?
Suddenly, Zhu Yunqi's pupils shot out a gloomy light like a poisonous snake red apricot.

"Grandfather, if you want to do this, then don't blame me." He said bitterly in a voice that only he could hear: "Fourth brother, this time, I will never make another mistake, I will let you die! Die! Die..."
