I don't want to be wronged again

Chapter 141, Chapter 173

Not to mention that Gu Guangyi and his wife were angry and angry, but they could only swallow their anger and persuade their daughter Xiaoyi to give in, otherwise what else could they do?After all, King Xinyang is the son of the phoenix and the grandson of the royal family, so there is absolutely no reason for him to be wronged.What's more, do the Gu family father and son have the courage to go to the famous and tyrannical King Xinyang to reason?That is the master who dares to ruin even his own father!

Not to mention that the Gu family has tasted the taste of knocking out teeth and swallowing blood, even the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have been trembling recently. For some reason, the emperor's temper has become more irritable recently, and he often reprimanded the ministers for some trivial matters, especially Shangshu Shangping Qi, Liu Mingbing, the right servant of the Ministry of War, and Liu Shan, the Duke of Zhen, always felt that the emperor's gaze was always falling on their backs, making people feel cold and bitter, but they didn't know why. Was missed by the emperor.

A few months passed in a blink of an eye. In the early morning of this day, the monarchs and ministers discussed the relief of the severe drought in Sichuan. There was no surplus granary anywhere. In the end, it was Zhu Zhanji who made the decision and allocated [-] shi of grain from the Jingcang. Grand Tutor Yang Rong went to Sichuan to help the victims.

At this time, Gu Guangyi, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, said: "Since the Taizu, our dynasty has been cultivating and nourishing, and the population has increased day by day. However, the wasteland has been reclaimed for many years, and there is no possibility of increasing the grain mu. The population is large. Naturally, there is a shortage of rations. I think about it every time, and I am often worried. After years of attention, fortunately, the emperor was lucky enough to find good seeds for my minister, one corn and one sweet potato. After I got these two kinds of grain, my minister has Humans are carefully bred on our farm. Thank you, my emperor, for your blessing! Now both are highly productive!"

He was very excited, and took out a record from his sleeve: "My lord, please take a look! This is the yield per mu of each type of grain in your family! The yield of corn is 220 catties per mu! The yield of sweet potatoes is [-] catties per mu." !"

There was a sudden commotion in the court, the old man Yang Tinghe was so excited that his white beard was trembling, he went forward to grab Gu Guangyi and said, "Are you telling the truth?!"

The most excited one was Xia Yuanji, Minister of the Household Department. He put his palms together and looked up at the sky and said: "Thank God for your blessing! Your Majesty! This is really my greatest blessing!"

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were in a mess, everyone was whispering or dancing, but no one noticed that the emperor who should be the happiest had a gloomy expression on his face.

Zhu Zhanji sat on the throne, staring at Gu Guangyi gloomyly, it turned out to be him!He squinted his eyes and looked at Gu Guangyi more carefully, and sighed, this person was originally reserved to replace one of the three Yang, what a pity.

He said lightly: "Gu Qing, where did you get these seeds?"

Gu Guangyi bowed and replied: "I have been making people pay attention to novel grains everywhere. I didn't accidentally discover these two kinds of things in Nanyang until last year. I didn't dare to report them rashly. I didn't dare to use them until after the harvest of these two kinds of grains the day before yesterday. Actually played."

Zhu Zhanji smiled but said: "According to the facts? Gu Qing really worked hard. Gu Qing, can you get some of these two kinds of food to show everyone's vision?"

Gu Guangyi respectfully said: "I have already brought some corn and sweet potatoes, and they are just outside the hall. I dare not take the liberty to present them without the emperor's decree."

Zhu Zhanji raised his hand and said, "Bring them all up and show them to everyone."

Two plates of corn and sweet potatoes filled with red brocade on a jade plate were handed up and displayed one by one among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.It caused a lot of surprise.Zhu Zhanji tilted his head slightly, and whispered to Liu Anke behind him: "Go and tell Xu Chenghai, he knows what to do."

Liu Anke, who had been standing silently behind Zhu Zhanji, looked at Gu Guangyi with some pity: Oh!What a pity!Such a talented and beautiful person, and has always had a good reputation, who knows, he really knows people, knows his face, but doesn't know his heart!Miss Li was actually plotted behind her back!well!What a pity, isn't this the same as poaching the emperor's eyeballs?well!It's a pity, these years of hard study!All these years of hard work!I'm afraid this dynasty will be ruined!

That night, Xu Chenghai secretly reported to the emperor: "I searched all of Gu Shilang's house, but there was no trace of Miss Li. Could it be that the boat of Miss Li's house has nothing to do with Gu Shilang?"

Zhu Zhanji's face sank like water: "Where is there such a coincidence in this world? Gu Guangyi just got the seeds stolen by Li Han? It would be amazing if there were no ghosts here! You continue to investigate for me! Find out the details of the Gu family Check it out carefully! I think his family must have something to do with Li Han!"

Xu Chenghai bowed in response, got up and went.Zhu Zhanji looked down at the memorial that Gu Guangyi presented this morning, snorted coldly, and raised his voice to order Liu Anke: "Proclamation: Grant Gu Cong, the editor of the Imperial Academy, as the envoy of the fourth-grade herd grain, and go to various places to promote corn, Sweet potato seeds, when the people of the whole country have enough food, I will give him credit for it!"

Everyone in the Gu family was dumbfounded when they accepted this order.Shi didn't wait for the Xiaohuangmen who announced the decree to leave, so he burst into tears: "Didn't you say that the emperor will reward our family greatly if the food is offered? But why let Cong'er promote some food?" Seed?! In a place as big as the whole country, it is promoted everywhere, not to mention the mountains and rivers, but when will I be able to come back! Oh, my son!"

Gu Cong is also stupid, promoting grain?There are so many deep mountains, wild ridges, and barren miasma in this country, how can we get there!

He looked to his father begging for help.Gu Guangyi, who has always been shrewd, was rarely at a loss. He pondered for a while, and then reluctantly said to Gu Cong: "Heaven assigns a great task to everyone, and you must first work hard. The emperor entrusted you with this great task. I just trust you! As soon as you entered an official position, you were given the rank of four ranks! Look at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, who has reached the fourth rank at the age of weak crowns? The emperor is rewarding our family! Now The six ministers are all in their positions, and as a father, I have to wait for them to become official to have vacancies. The emperor must have considered this, and it is difficult to arrange, so this credit falls on you. Don't forget that "people eat food For God'! If you can really travel all over the world, bring this high-yield grain seed for the people, and teach them to plant it, you will be the Buddha of the people's livelihood! By then, how much will your reputation be? At that time, I'm afraid that the emperor will let you join the cabinet directly! You have to seize this opportunity! Don't be afraid of suffering and getting involved! You must know that you can be a master through suffering!"

In desperation, Gu Cong had no choice but to pack his bags, and set foot on the road of running around regardless of the obstruction of the crying Hu Shanhui.All the way through the wind and rain, the hard work made the young master Gu who had always been pampered and honored and used to enjoy the honor complained endlessly. After a few days on the road, he collapsed in the inn from exhaustion and couldn't get up. It would be impossible for him to go on the road again after his worn-out thighs scabbed over. It has been a month, and at his speed, if he travels all over the country, he will have to wait until his next life.
