Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 609 Lin Hu Returns
"What's the matter?"

Although Li Xian has always disliked courtesy, but after all, as the prince of the Eastern Palace, the rules that should be established are also indispensable. Now that he was almost bumped into by someone, he couldn't help feeling a little angry, but when he saw this, he rushed out The guy in question was Gao Miao, but he couldn't bear to scold him too much, so he asked coldly with a gloomy face, full of displeasure.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, here we come, here we come, Lin Hu is back!"

Gao Miao obviously ran too fast and was out of breath. When Li Xian shouted and asked him, he immediately choked, his face was red and his ears were flushed. After twisting his neck a few times, he stuttered. Words came out.

"what?"

Hearing that Lin Hu had arrived, a wave of ecstasy surged into his heart in an instant. Li Xian didn't care about arguing with Gao Miao any more. With a flash of his figure, he rushed towards the palace gate like a shooting star. , that reckless look was comparable to Gao Miao's when he came, and Zhang Jianzhi frowned, but it was hard to comment, so he shook his head wordlessly, and followed him to the palace gate. The direction rushed... Outside the gate of the East Palace, several tightly covered carriages lined up, surrounded by burly men in green clothes, guarding the carriages extremely tightly, even in the heavily guarded East Palace At the door, there was no sign of slack. Li Yaodong, Wang Kuan, Wang Tong and other "Ming Di" masters were all there, but none of them were in charge. The leader was a burly middle-aged man with gray temples and a complexion. He was dark, with a vicissitudes on his face, but his back was extremely straight. This man was Lin Hu who had rushed all the way here!
It has been eight years since he left Li Xian's side, and now it has been eight years. In the past eight years, Lin Hu has traveled far and wide, experienced countless storms and hardships, how many times life and death were on the line, and how many times he woke up from dreams. He was full of tears, but now, he has finally returned to Luoyang, the most important place in the court. Thinking of the ups and downs of these years, Lin Hu's eyes can't help but become a little hazy, and countless emotions are stirring in his heart.

"Subordinate Lin Hu sees His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Just as Lin Hu was filled with emotions, he suddenly saw Li Xian appearing at the palace gate at some point, he didn't dare to be negligent, so he rushed to him and paid his respects incessantly.

"You don't need to be too polite, get up, and let Ben Gong take a look!"

After so many years, Li Xian was also very excited to see Lin Hu's loyal subordinate again. Seeing Lin Hu saluting him, Li Xian's figure flickered, and he was already close to him. Lin Hu helped him up.

"Your Highness, subordinate, subordinate..."

Facing Li Xian's gentle smile, Lin Hu's eyes turned red, and he was so choked up with tears that he couldn't speak.

"Well, I'm old and my hair is gray. I've worked hard for you these years, and I would like to thank you very much."

When we parted back then, Lin Hu was a strong man in his early thirties, but now he is as old as fifty, which made Li Xian's eyes wet a little, and he let go of his support Holding Lin Hu's hand, Lianrong saluted, and thanked him sincerely.

"Your Highness, you can't do it, you can't do it. It's a blessing in your life that you can do small things for Your Highness. How dare you take credit for it?"

Seeing Li Xian bowing to him, Lin Hu immediately lost his hands and feet, retreated a few steps hurriedly, and thanked him repeatedly.

"Otherwise, based on your meritorious service, not only this Palace would like to thank you, but also the people of future generations would also like to thank you for your great virtue. Ode!"

Others don't know the meaning of those seeds, but Li Xian knows it well, but if these species are spread in the land of China, not only the problem of food and clothing that has gradually shown a distress trend will be solved immediately, but the land will become increasingly scarce The plight of using it can also be alleviated, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is a miracle. Li Xian has reason to be excited, and there are enough reasons to bow down for what Lin Hu has done.

"Subordinates dare not, subordinates dare not..."

Facing Li Xian's great gift, Lin Hu couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive, but he couldn't help being proud of it. At this moment, all the hardships and dangers he had experienced over the years were worth it.

"Come on, follow Gu Yi into the palace!"

After Li Xian finished his ceremony, he didn't give Lin Hu a chance to shirk. He waved his hand and gave him the honor of walking side by side. Li Yaodong and the others who were staying up were all staring at him eagerly, wishing that Lin Hu would push him away so that he could replace him with his own body. However, this can only be imagined in his heart. No one dared to do that.

"Your Highness, this box contains corn seeds, and these are sweet potatoes, peanuts, potatoes and other species. All of them are collected according to the patterns given by His Highness, and the road is also preserved according to His Highness's instructions. Yes, but I’m not sure whether it’s safe or not, so I ask Your Highness to enlighten me.”

Several carriages drove into the East Palace and came straight to the Mingde Hall. Lin Hu directed a group of people to carefully unload all the boxes from the carriages, and they lined up under the steps. The lids of the boxes were lifted. After it was opened, the inside filled with straw was exposed. At this time, Lin Hu didn't dare to let the crowd be busy anymore, so he stepped forward, carefully opened the straw, and took out the well-sealed earthen jars one by one. , one by one in front of the box, while busy, while reporting.

"Good stuff, good, very good!"

Sweet potatoes and other things are worthless things in later generations, but at this time, they are treasures that are countless times more valuable than gold. In order to obtain these species, the manpower and material resources spent can only be described as "massive" To put it into words, such a huge sacrifice, even a rich man like Li Xian, would be a little bit pained when he thought about it, but when he saw the well-preserved various seeds in the jar, everything was worth it. Under Li Xian's emotional agitation, the hand holding the seed trembled involuntarily, and he shouted hello, his brows were filled with an uplifting smile from the heart.

"Your Highness, this thing looks inconspicuous, can it really be entered?"

Gao Miao had followed Li Xian for many years, but he had never seen Li Xian so excited. He couldn't help being curious. He moved closer and saw that the objects in Li Xian's hands were all strange shapes. There was no scent at all, and there was nothing unusual at first glance, so I couldn't help asking curiously.

"Yes, it's delicious. These things can not only fill your stomach, but also taste good. When the future is ripe, Ben Gong will show his hands. You just wait for the early adopters. When the time comes, don't bite It’s good to lose your own tongue, well, let’s not talk about it, let’s go, follow me to the back garden, take advantage of the good weather, and let’s talk about it!”

Li Xian was in the right mood, since Meng Lang, who would not care about Gao Miao's question, laughed and teased him a few words, and then, some of them couldn't wait to shout, and led a group of people to the back garden , It was digging holes, filling soil, and watering the grounds. Fortunately, the guards had a lot of people and there were a lot of people who knew how to do farm work. The plants were planted in ridges.

"Reporting to your empress, there is movement at the other end of the East Palace."

In the study room of the Deyang Palace, Empress Wu, who had just had a bad experience, had an outburst among all Wu's disciples, but she also had to summon Ming Chongyan, Jia Chaoyin and other confidants to discuss how to deal with Gaozong's doubts , was discussing to the tight spot, but saw Cheng Denggao hurried in from the outside, carelessly leaned in front of Empress Wu, and reported in a low voice.

"Say it!"

Empress Wu was in a bad mood, because she had already seen Gaozong's extreme dissatisfaction with the control of the Yulin Army by the disciples of Wuwu, and her heart was in a mess at the moment. Out of anger, he said a word in an angry manner, and spit out two words coldly.

"Ah, Nuo, according to reports from the Eastern Palace's eyeliner, half an hour ago, a group of people drove several carriages into the Eastern Palace, which were full of strange plant seeds. It is said that they came from overseas. Those plants were planted in the back garden, and a special person was sent to watch over the back garden to prevent others from approaching easily, the servant girl thought that there might be something wrong with this matter, and asked the Queen of Heaven to make a holy judgment."

Seeing the displeasure on Wu's back, Cheng Denggao didn't dare to neglect him, he hurriedly lowered his body, and explained carefully.

"Huh? Is this really the case?"

Empress Wu already had great doubts about Li Xian's busy farming the past few days. She had already secretly ordered the East Palace to thoroughly investigate the root cause of the matter. Now that Li Xian actually introduced overseas plants, although she didn't know the reason, she could However, there was a bad premonition welling up in his heart, but he couldn't find the root of the problem, so his brows immediately frowned.

"That's true. It is said that His Royal Highness is very concerned about this matter, and he has been ecstatic for a long time. It's just that the status of the insider is too low, but I don't know how excited His Highness is."

When Empress Wu asked a question, Cheng Denggao didn't dare not answer, so he hurriedly spoke affirmatively.

"Oh? Do you love me, what do you think about this?"

Empress Wu frowned and thought about it for a long time, but she still couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Li Xian's gourd, so she had to throw the question to a group of confidantes.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is something wrong with this matter. His Royal Highness has never played cards according to common sense, so you have to be careful."

"That's right, I also think so. It's better not to move at this time, it's better to have a look first and then make a decision."

"Your Majesty, according to Weichen, His Royal Highness's actions seem to be unconventional, so you can take part in it!"

A shrewd person like Empress Wu couldn't guess Li Xian's intentions, so how could Jia Chaoyin and others figure it out? It's just that Empress Wu gave orders, but she dared not refuse to answer them. Hearing the rambling nonsense, Empress Wu's already frowning brows deepened a little.
