Of course Mengde couldn't receive the news. After all, the emperor quietly asked Eunuch Gui to bring the people back without notifying the officials below. What he wanted was to catch the officials who were against him off guard. .

As soon as the hour came, the palace doors opened wide, and the officials lined up and began to enter the palace for the morning court. The prince and other marquises did not need to queue up with the officials. They had separate entrances.

Wen Xiuyi looked at the queue over there, hesitated for a while and asked several people: "Shall I go over and queue up?"

Unexpectedly, King Fu directly pulled him towards him and said as he walked: "What kind of line are you waiting for? Come with us."

The others nodded: "That's right, if you have something to arrange with them, let's go. Today we will just stand together. Anyway, Brother Wen, your official position is low, so there is no need to go to the front."

Just like that, Wen Xiuyi followed them directly through the passage here, which shocked the officials over there.

I am even more curious about this person’s identity.

When they arrived at the court, everyone stood according to their positions. Wen Xiuyi stood at the end of the line. Looking ahead, he saw that they were all officials with higher positions than him, so he had to shrink his neck and stay near the door.

Prince Fu and several of his uncles and marquises were seated near the front. They wanted to take Wen Xiuyi with them, but Wen Xiuyi refused. As a seventh-grade Sesame Officer, he had to adjust his position first. This door It's good, it's ventilated, otherwise the thick official uniform would heat people to death.

Soon, with a loud shout from the eunuch, the emperor walked out of the back hall, went up to the Golden Palace, and sat on the dragon chair.

His eyes fell on King Fu, who pouted behind him. The emperor then glanced around among the many officials, and finally found Wen Xiuyi, who was looking around near the door.

Seeing that he looked relaxed and was still in the mood to visit the Golden Palace, the emperor almost laughed.

As the court meeting began, some officials began to make comments. Either they asked the Ministry of Revenue for money, but the Ministry of Finance refused to give it, or the Ministry of Revenue complained about poverty, or some of the officials involved misbehaved. Wen Xiuyi stood at the end, listening to these ministers like It was like a quarrel in the vegetable market. You yelled at me, and I scolded you without swearing. Everyone was shocked.

Aren’t those morning court events in the TV series all about various national events? Why are they all trivial things?

The emperor also had an impatient look on his face. He kept turning over these trivial matters every day, staring at each other eager to catch the opponent's fox tail. If they put these thoughts on people's livelihood, there would be no need to worry about Annan not being prosperous.

When they had noisy enough, the emperor said with a gloomy face: "Have you had noisy enough? All day long are these trivial things. Are you very free on weekdays?"

In a word, the whole hall was quiet, and no one dared to say anything anymore.

The emperor took a deep breath, not bothering to look at them anymore, but glanced at King Fu.

King Fu immediately received the signal and stood up.

"My brother, I have something to report."

The emperor changed to a comfortable position and sat down, and said: "Quickly play."

Prince Fu immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, I wonder if your Majesty still remembers the incident last year when my brother went out and accidentally discovered that someone among the people was growing new grain."

The emperor said faintly: "Of course I remember that this person's planting of new grains can be said to be a blessing to Annan. I also specially appointed him as a farmer to be responsible for the new grains."

King Fu immediately said: "Your Majesty, I was about to report this matter. Your Majesty gave him two years and ordered this person to grow new grain so that it can be popularized in the future."

The emperor nodded: "Yes, I said that."

King Fu was so excited that he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, in just one year, the new grains will be harvested. I feel that in less than two years, the new grains will be widely available this year."

"Is this true?" Although he had known it for a long time, the emperor couldn't help but get excited when he mentioned it again, and he leaned forward a lot.

Just as King Fu was about to speak, a minister stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

The emperor had long expected that someone would come forward to force Lai Lai, so he asked Wen Xiuyi to do important things quietly, and then quietly brought the people to the capital, just to show the results and directly silence these people.

At this time, someone objected, but the emperor was not in a hurry and asked directly: "What do you have to say, Ai Qing?"

The minister who stood up looked at King Fu, and then said: "Your Majesty, I feel that the new food matter needs to be considered in the long term. Not to mention whether the new food is suitable for everyone to eat, it will take some time for the people to accept it. Time, I don’t think this matter can be urgent.”

After saying that, the man paused and continued: "Besides, who knows whether that Si Nong is deceiving His Majesty and the Prince."

Prince Fu smiled and said with a sneer: "Master Gou, I haven't said yet how much the new grain will be produced. How did Master Gou know that Si Nong was deceiving Your Majesty and me?"

He knew this man. He was from the Ministry of Household Affairs. He complained every day that the Ministry of Household Affairs had no money, but his family was extremely rich. There were several villages under him. The national treasury needed food. Sometimes when the war in the north was tense, and there was not enough food and grass, they would raise it from the private sector. This That's when these people make a lot of money.

Now that there is new food, according to Brother Wen, this food can also grow in the north. Although the yield may not be as good as in the south, it can still last for a while at critical moments.

It's just that in this way, those people who are hoarding the food and trying to make money from the treasury will not be able to sell it.

They are in a hurry.

Damn it.

Whenever he could bring up the knife, he would chop off all the heads of these dogs.

King Fu was too lazy to pay attention to him. Today he wanted to bring Wen Xiuyi to show his face, and let these people know that it would not be so easy to get money from the treasury in the future.

He looked at the emperor again and said, "Your Majesty, how much will the new grain yield be? Let Wen Sinong tell your Majesty himself."

The emperor pretended to be surprised: "Oh? Where is Wen Sinong?"

Wen Xiuyi got up early in the morning and was in the last row. He was a little drowsy when they were arguing in front of him. He would be called upon by the emperor without even noticing that he was being called.

Until another small-looking official next to him gently pushed him and asked in a low voice: "Are you Mr. Wen? Mr. Wen, His Majesty is calling you."

Wen Xiuyi came to his senses and quickly stood up.

"My lord, Wen Xiuyi, please see your Majesty."

Just like that, he knelt down at the gate.

If it weren't for the special sound transmission in this hall, I'm afraid the emperor wouldn't be able to hear what he said here.

The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched. Why was this man standing so far back?

"Wen Aiqing, come forward and reply."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wen Xiuyi kowtowed, stood up, walked forward, and knelt down again next to Prince Fu: "Your Majesty, Wen Xiuyi, I'd like to see you."

Before the emperor could ask questions, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel could not sit still. He also had several Zhuangzi under his command, and he could get a lot of money from the treasury every year. If there was any new grain, he would stock it up this year and prepare to sell it in the winter. What to do with the food from the Ministry of Household Affairs?

He stood up decisively and said: "Your Majesty, officials below the seventh rank are not allowed to enter the palace without being summoned, and they are not qualified to participate in court meetings. Is this Lord Sinong ignoring the laws of this dynasty?"

Wen Xiuyi: "..."

emperor:"……"

King Fu: "..."

Is it such a big deal? Put your hat on when you come up.

But will King Fu let them succeed? Obviously not.

Prince Fu stopped kneeling and stood up directly. He put his hands on his hips and said directly: "Well, I brought this person into the palace. Can you still join me? If any of you are half as capable as me, can you?" With so much food grown, not to mention the seventh-grade official position, even your descendants who have no fame and honor, I can bring them to the morning court."
