Chapter 383: The palace discusses major matters
Early the next morning, before dawn, Li Hao got up to wash, and then rode a lion and took a group of guards to Chang'an to participate in the court meeting.
When Li Hao arrived outside the Chengtian Gate of Taiji Palace, there were already many ministers of the court and the central government here, and the ministers were surprised when they saw Li Hao's arrival, because Li Hao would never come to participate in the early dynasty if there was no major event, and now Li Hao actually came, and the ministers wondered if there was something big going on.
Li Hao's popularity doesn't seem to be very good, as soon as his horse arrived, the ministers scattered to the side, avoiding him as if avoiding a mad dog, Li Hao touched his nose embarrassedly, and secretly thought in his heart: "Fortunately, Lao Tzu didn't do any bullshit to supervise the imperial history, and if he didn't do the imperial history, he was afraid that even Wei Zheng would be inferior, Wei Zheng just had no friends, and Lao Tzu would be full of enemies at that time." ”
As soon as he turned over and dismounted, he heard a magic voice coming: "Wow Ka Ka, the stinky boy is here!" ”
You don't have to look at it, you can make such a weird laugh, except for Cheng Biting Jin's old killer, there is no one else, Li Hao turned around, and sure enough, he saw Cheng Biting Jin, Qin Qiong and Li Ji walking side by side towards him, well, looking at the posture of the three of them, it has the flavor of the Gang of Three.
"I've seen three uncles." Li Hao bowed his hand, there are so many outsiders present at this moment, he still has to abide by the rules that should be observed, and he can't behave too much.
Cheng Biting Jin stepped forward and was about to raise his big hand to pat Li Hao on the shoulder, Li Hao took half a step back, dodged Cheng Biting Jin's claws, and said with a smile: "Uncle Cheng has something to say, don't do anything, so many people are watching." ”
"You kid ......" Cheng Biting Jin scolded with a smile, and then lowered his voice and asked, "Why did you come here today to participate in the early dynasty?" ”
Li Hao blinked for a while, and asked blankly: "I am a third-grade courtier, and I have the right to participate in political affairs, is there anything wrong with coming to participate in the early dynasty?" ”
Cheng Biting Jin said: "Don't talk nonsense in front of Lao Tzu, to be honest, is there something big going on, uncover the uncles, what did Your Majesty tell you yesterday?" ”
Li Hao felt so cool when he heard this, these court bigwigs actually came to him to inquire about the news, oops, it feels cool to think about it, let's talk about it for a while.
Seeing Li Hao smiling with a sneering face, Cheng Biting Jin's hand was already ready to move, Qin Qiong hurriedly pressed Cheng Biting Jin's right hand, and smiled at Li Hao: "Virtuous nephew, don't sell Guanzi, you have to be anxious uncles." ”
For Qin Qiong, Li Hao's impression is still very good, after all, this is a real person, so Li Hao didn't sell it anymore, and said in a low voice: "Two things, the first one, reward me." ”
"Huh?" The three of them frowned together when they heard this, and Li Ji asked suspiciously, "What great achievements have you made again?" The emperor wants to reward you? ”
Cheng Yanjin glared and said angrily: "Listen to him fart, he didn't even put an arrow when he ran to Shazhou, and he made a fart!" ”
Li Hao was very unhappy when he heard this, and raised his voice and shouted: "Hey, old killer, don't talk to a fart, can you speak!" ”
"Stinky boy! I can't smoke you! Cheng Biting Jin glared and was about to pump Li Hao, but was held down by Li Ji and Qin Qiong left and right.
The surrounding group of ministers were happy to see these two court bastards tearing up, but in order to prevent them from fighting, they all hid farther away, so as not to harm the pond fish.
Li Hao lowered his voice again at this time and said, "The credit this time is not a military merit, you will know it when the time comes." ”
Li Ji nodded and said, "Well, we know, what about the second thing?" ”
Li Hao secretly observed the surroundings, his mouth did not move, but he made a vague voice, "About the crown prince." ”
The three of them were surprised when they heard this, this matter was finally put on the charter, and Cheng Yanjin asked in a low voice: "What did Your Majesty say yesterday, does he have a favorite candidate in his heart now?" ”
Li Hao said: "Your Majesty just asked my opinion yesterday, I fooled the past, I guess he may ask at the court meeting today, the ministers now prefer King Wei, but Your Majesty doesn't seem to like King Wei very much in his heart, and who I want to support, the three uncles must already know." ”
"Hmm." The three of them hummed softly, and Li Ji asked, "How do you want us to help you?" ”
Li Hao said: "The three uncles don't help me, and don't choose any prince, if the emperor asks you, you will either remain neutral or make peace with the mud, I will find a way to make King Jin stand out in the near future." ”
"Good!" The three of them whispered.
At this moment, the captain of the city gate at the head of the city announced loudly that the gate of heaven was opened.
Hundreds of civil and military officials entered the Taiji Palace, entered the Taiji Palace, waited for a while, Li Shimin arrived, all the ministers saluted together, the mountain shouted long live, and then, the court officially began.
The affairs of the court discussed by the Great Dynasty Club are basically major events, the first thing is a diplomatic event, the Chinese book ordered Cen to write a book, and asked Li Shimin to add three hundred craftsmen and three hundred doctors to Tubo, so as to Huairou Tubo, and the two states are safe, Li Hao heard this proposal, even if he jumped out to oppose it, is this Cen text a brain convulsion, Tubo obviously has bad intentions, and sooner or later he will start a war against the Tang Dynasty, at this time, he also sent them technology and sent doctors, not what is the brain convulsion, what Li Hao can't stand the most is the stupid suggestions put forward by these stupid people, if it weren't for Cen Wen's high power, Li Hao would definitely kill him in court, just like Kong Yingda.
Unexpectedly, a series of Confucian ministers such as Kong Yingda and Chu Suiliang jumped out to support Cen Wenwen, and began to scold Li Hao, Li Hao alone scolded more than a dozen people, and did not fall behind at all, the court meeting was so lively at the beginning, and the ministers were full of expectations, today's court meeting ...... It doesn't seem simple.
The two sides insisted on their own words, and after more than ten minutes of mutual scolding, Li Shimin began to fight, to be honest, Li Shimin did not agree with Cen Wenwen's proposal, but at present, more than a dozen people support Cen Wenwen, and Li Hao only has one opponent, if he supports Li Hao, it is very likely that Li Hao will have more enemies, and he himself will be said to be biased and protective, so he can only talk to the mud and postpone the discussion, this is the old routine.
Even so, the Confucians were still dissatisfied, and still thought that Li Shimin was protecting Li Hao, but he didn't say it, Li Hao was very depressed after retreating, he didn't expect this group of Confucian ministers to be so annoying, it was simply a misguided minister, his eyes swam around in the Wenchen team, and he suddenly was shocked, and found that there was one person missing, and then looked at it carefully, yes, there was indeed one person missing, Wei Zheng did not come.
Wei Zheng actually did not participate in the court meeting, this is incredible, Li Hao thought about it, and shook again, he remembered that historical records recorded that Wei Zheng died in February of the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, that is, in February this year, but now it is April 15, February has already passed, and I have never heard of the news of Wei Zheng's death, Wei Zheng is a big man, if he dies, not to mention the national sensation, at least Chang'an City will be in an uproar.
Li Hao began to speculate that maybe Wei Zheng was not dead, but he should have been sick and unable to go to the court, no, Wei Zheng couldn't die, he was an important minister of the Tang Dynasty, and he must not die, Li Hao secretly decided that after the court meeting was over, he must find Cheng Yanjin and ask them, what is the situation of Wei Zheng, if he is sick, he must go and take a look, maybe he can have a way.
Thinking that Wei Zheng was very likely to die soon, Li Hao was absent-minded, and the palace discussed seven or eight things in a row, but he almost didn't listen, and finally, it was time to reward Li Hao.
Li Hao was called to the heart of the palace by Li Shimin, and then Li Shimin said with a smile on his face: "Zhuqing, I want to say something today, Zhuqing may be very happy to hear it, this matter is related to Li Hao." ”
When the ministers heard this, they all looked at Li Hao, and they all guessed that the main drama was coming, no wonder Li Hao would come to participate in the court meeting today, and there was really something special, I don't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.
At this time, Li Shimin had already beckoned to Xu Lian, Xu Lian walked to the hall with a mahogany tray, and walked around the team of ministers, only to see a few ears of rice in the mahogany tray, the rice on each ear of rice is full, and more than twice as much as the ordinary rice, some of the ministers present have not seen much rice ears, naturally I don't know what this means, but those who can understand are shocked when they see this, and the exclamations on the hall are endless.
After Xu Lian wandered for a week, Li Shimin smiled and asked, "Can you see clearly?" ”
At this time, Ma Zhou hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, what kind of rice seed is this, it is so full of grains, and there are so many rices?" ”
"This is Zhenguan rice." Li Shimin's eyebrows flew and he said, "This rice seed was presented by Li Hao, the secretary of the scientific research temple last year, and I specially ordered someone to try the planting last year, but I have not told Zhu Qing, Zhu Qing can guess, what is the yield per mu of this Zhenguan rice?" ”
Ma Zhou thought for a while and said: "Weichen believes that this rice must have a high yield, and the yield per mu should be as much as four hundred and fifty catties!" ”
Li Shimin shook his head with a smile: "Less." ”
Ma Zhou hurriedly asked: "Five hundred catties?" ”
"It's still less." Li Shimin's smug look is even stronger, he likes to see the surprise of these ministers who have never seen the world, and he has a great sense of accomplishment.
Ma Zhou was shocked when he heard this: "Could it be that the yield of this rice per mu is 550 catties?" ”
Li Shimin laughed when he heard this, he didn't bother to let them guess any more, and said with a bright face: "I will tell you, this Zhenguan rice, I sent people to plant five acres in different places, the highest one mu, yielding 770 catties of grain, and the lowest acre, yielding 680 catties of grain. ”
When the ministers heard this, they exclaimed and shouted, the yield of 700 catties of rice per mu, they had never heard of it in their lives, let alone heard of it, and they never dared to think about it, what kind of concept is this, now even if Lingnan Road is the most suitable place for planting rice, the yield of rice per mu is more than 200 catties, and it will not exceed 300 catties to die, this Zhenguan rice is so awesome, the yield per mu is 700 catties, and the yield has increased by two or three times!
"I have made plans to promote this rice throughout the country from this year, and the four provinces of Jiannan, Jiangnan, Huainan and Lingnan are the most suitable for growing rice, so in these four provinces, we must vigorously promote it, do you have any objections?"
"Your Majesty! No objections! The ministers shouted in unison, their tones full of excitement.
"Alright." Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Offering such a high-yield rice, Li Hao has the highest merit, such a great achievement, I have to reward it, Zhu Qing said, how to reward Li Hao?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the hall was silent, alas, Li Hao was going to be rewarded again, all kinds of envy and jealousy in the hearts of the ministers, Li Hao, this kid was rewarded many times at a young age, and every time it was a big reward, which made them have to blush, and now Li Shimin threw out such a question, which made them very embarrassed.
