Chapter 114: You can’t plant weaving shell flowers!
Looking at the table full of delicious delicacies, General Weiyuan picked up the chopsticks again without hesitation and started to eat with relish.
Although the other ministers in the palace could not accept it like him,
But they all gritted their teeth and continued to eat.
Didn’t you hear what Princess Saint Ann said just now, which was both an open and covert mockery of them?
[She is used to living a life of luxury in the capital, and she looks down upon the dirty food in his eyes! ]
My goodness, they are just short of pointing at their noses and scolding them for being ignorant of the sufferings of the world!
They are all important officials in the court!
What we discuss with Your Majesty every day are all major issues in the world!
As a result, they are now directly accused of being ignorant of the sufferings of the world. Then what are they busy doing in front of the emperor on a daily basis?
This is impossible!
Some people who were quick-witted and had a strong receptiveness to dishes had already figured out why Emperor Xuanwu had suddenly asked Princess Sheng'an to stand up and introduce these dishes to them at the palace banquet today.
He immediately adjusted his demeanor, stood up and laughed loudly, congratulating:
“I never thought that these previously wasted ingredients could be used to make such delicious dishes!
I feel deeply saddened when I think of the huge amount of meat that was thrown away by the people in the past.
But when I think about the fact that the amount of meat people can eat will almost double from next year, I feel even happier!
This is a great thing, Your Majesty!"
"May God bless our Tiansheng Dynasty!"
The people who reacted later also hurriedly followed, and soon, the chaotic voices in the hall became one neat and tidy one -
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"Hahahahaha!"
He knew that with Xiaowu around, these old guys would be able to accept the food as quickly as possible!
Emperor Xuanwu was very pleased and said a few auspicious words. He also gave Yunshu some treasures.
No matter what the ministers were thinking in their hearts, at least on the surface, both the emperor and his subjects were happy.
The only person who was expecting Yun Shu to arouse public outrage and was waiting to see the show was Prince Beixiang, whose expression suddenly turned gloomy again.
These Tiansheng court officials are really useless, they can’t even control a princess!
He has to come in person.
Placing the wine bottle heavily on the table, the eldest prince took a deep breath, then managed to suppress his true emotions and forced a smile:
"Your Majesty Tiansheng, after New Year's Eve today, it's time for all of us in the Beixiang envoy group to return home.
There have indeed been many misunderstandings between us and your country during this period. Fortunately, Your Majesty Tiansheng is magnanimous enough.
We are very grateful for this.
To express our apologies, your country's Princess Saint Ann has previously stated that she wants to plant the seeds of the weaving shell flower all over the sky, and we have already asked people to collect a full 500 stones of them.
At this moment, those seeds are on their way to your country.
I guess... it should be possible to fulfill Princess Saint Ann's wish of having flowers bloom all over the world by next autumn!"
One stone is equal to 120 jin.
Five hundred shi, that's 60,000 kilograms of cotton seeds!
Wow, I didn’t realize that the Prince of Beixiang is such a good person!
Good news kept coming out one after another, and Yun Shu was so happy that he ate more frequently.
Emperor Xuanwu, who was at the top, recalled the results given by the life choice simulation system and was also smiling.
But those ministers who didn't know what "Weaving Shells" were and only listened to the words of Prince Beixiang, and really thought that Yunshu wanted to plant a beautiful flower all over Tiansheng, secretly cursed Yunshu in their hearts, this princess who was truly ignorant of the sufferings of the world - she didn't think that just because she allowed the people to eat a little more meat, she could force the people to stop growing grain and grow flowers instead, right?
Did she get kicked in the head by a donkey?
What else can you do with that flower besides looking at it?
I am really worried that the people will live a good life!
And Your Majesty, this is not the way to pamper a child, right?
Even though the princess was acting so outrageous, he remained silent, as if he had tacitly agreed to plant all the 500 stones of weaving shell flower seeds!
Simply... stupid!
Of course, no one would dare to say this last comment directly.
Including this incident itself, it can actually be regarded as their own "scandal" of Tiansheng.
No minister would be stupid enough to accuse his own Majesty and Princess of wrongdoing in front of Prince Beixiang.
Everyone tacitly pretended not to have heard what Prince Beixiang said.
However, the lively atmosphere in the Linde Hall, which was originally full of toasts and clinking of glasses, had cooled down a lot.
Prince Beixiang was not able to wait for what he wanted to hear in the first place, and was somewhat surprised when Yunshu accused him.
But soon, he understood and simply asked for leave from Emperor Xuanwu in advance and left the Linde Hall on the grounds that he had to leave as soon as possible.
As expected, when he left,
The ministers who had been able to maintain the appearance of celebration suddenly could no longer sit still.
The first one to stand up was the Right Prime Minister.
"Your Majesty, I have a report to make!"
"This is the Linde Hall, not the Xuanzheng Hall.
What music are you playing? You are not allowed to play it! "
As soon as the right prime minister opened his mouth, Emperor Xuanwu knew what he was going to say.
The result of the life choice simulation system could not be brought out, and Emperor Xuanwu could not explain why he agreed to let Xiaowu plant the weaving shell flower everywhere, so he simply blocked the other party:
"I won't be attending court today!"
"His Majesty!"
The Right Prime Minister could not help but emphasize his tone:
"Your Majesty, you must know how important farmland is to the people!
If Princess Saint Ann likes the weaving shell flower, it would be fine for her to plant that flower all over her palace or even her farm.
But you can’t plant all five hundred stones of weaving shell flower seeds!”
"Why not?"
Although Yun Shu didn't know why her emperor father trusted her so much, when she had previously said that she wanted to plant the Weaving Shell Flower all over Tiansheng, he had agreed without asking any more questions.
He even took the initiative to send the eunuch beside him to the post station to inform the Beixiang delegation.
But now that this matter has been questioned, she certainly can't just sit there and do nothing.
Otherwise, what if the emperor is persuaded by these ministers and doesn't agree with her growing weaving shells?
Without hesitation, Yun Shu put down his chopsticks and raised his eyebrows to meet the Right Prime Minister's extremely dissatisfied gaze, with a calm expression:
"What the Right Prime Minister meant is that planting weaving shell flowers will occupy the people's farmland. What if it doesn't?"
"joke!"
The right prime minister was almost amused by her ignorance:
"If not arable land, where else can you plant it? Princess, do you think that if you just scatter the seeds in some wasteland and leave no one to watch over them, they will grow on their own?"
