At this moment, Jiang Zhinian was kneeling in the main hall, speaking in an orderly manner, with a strong and unyielding look.

The ministers couldn't help but sigh when they saw Jiang Zhinian's appearance.

Is this the eldest daughter of the Jiang family who was previously rumored outside, and the granddaughter personally taught by Wei Ying, the wife of the Yongping Earl?

They thought that the daughters of their family who were carefully educated were all good, but compared with Jiang Zhinian, they were still lacking something.

When the emperor thought of Wei Ying, and thought that she was the granddaughter whom Wei Ying loved and supported the most, his eyes became a little kinder.

"You are fine!"

Donating grain at this time, especially such a large amount of grain, immediately solved the crisis of the court.

The emperor felt relieved.

"Your Highness, I would also like to donate one million stones of medicinal materials to support the epidemic in Jiangzhou."

"what?"

"One million stones of medicinal materials!"

These are simply unimaginable.

Jiang Zhinian's words immediately caused a sensation in the court.

"Don't say such things casually."

"Miss Jiang can really provide one million dan of grain and one million dan of medicinal materials?"

This made everyone unbelievable.

A woman actually has so much food and medicinal materials in her hands. What does she want to do and what does it mean?

The ministers of the Zhao Ge Lao faction stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I am very curious about how Miss Jiang got so much food and medicine. I have never seen so much food and medicine in one person. One acre of land can produce 300 to 400 kilograms of food. How can Miss Jiang get so much?"

"Or did Miss Jiang know from the earliest times that there would be plagues, disasters, and wars, so she stockpiled these?"

These words are extremely vicious. They are framing Jiang Zhinian for possibly colluding with southern Xinjiang spies or even remnants of the previous dynasty.

An official from the Crown Prince's faction immediately appeared and said, "Master Lin, what you mean by this is that there is something wrong with someone donating food to support the border war?"

"Like Lord Lin, who can't provide food and medicine, he can stop everyone from donating food with just his mouth. If he donates food and medicine at the border, it means he has ulterior motives. I can't help but wonder what Lord Lin's intentions are."

"So many spies from southern Xinjiang have been exposed recently. I remember that Lord Lin once favored his concubine over his wife. The concubine's family has some relationship with the Meng family. Could it be that Lord Lin is colluding with the spies?"

Lord Lin was so angry that his beard was shaking after hearing these words. "You... Lord Wang, you are slandering me!"

Lord Wang snorted coldly, "How can Lord Lin say that he is slandering me? Lord Lin just used his mouth to confuse right and wrong. Isn't that slandering me?"

Some people from the Censorate also stood up and began to criticize Lord Lin and Lord Zhao and his group.

Originally, some people wanted to disrupt the court and kill the prince in Jiangzhou, but now they dared not speak nonsense.

Some old ministers and some neutral parties also stood up to speak out, of course, they were all criticizing those who tried to discredit Jiang Zhinian.

"Master Lin, Master Liu, you doubt Miss Jiang's intentions. You think you are loyal to the emperor, so why don't you quickly solve the problem of food and medicine?"

"Lord Lin just jumped out because of the medicinal herbs. Could it be that you don't want Jiangzhou to have medicinal herbs to solve the plague? Don't forget that our Crown Prince is in Jiangzhou. I am even suspicious of your intentions..."

"Nonsense, slander, how could this humble minister have such intentions, Your Majesty, please understand..."

There was a chaos in the court, and the emperor was watching the situation with a mysterious look in his eyes.

When everyone had finished arguing, the emperor said, "Shut up!"

Everyone felt that the emperor was furious, and they knelt down quickly, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"

Some people, especially Mr. Lin, were trembling with fear as soon as they opened their mouths.

The emperor said, "I just heard what Lord Lin said. Does having so much food and medicine mean you have bad intentions?"

Lord Lin knelt there, cold sweat on his forehead, "I dare not!"

"I think you are very daring!"

"The censor impeached you for favoring your concubine and ignoring your wife, as well as accepting bribes and seizing the land of innocent people. If that's the case, you should be dismissed and investigated!"

"I am wronged, Your Majesty!"

Lord Lin begged for mercy tremblingly.

Normally, the emperor seldom punished his ministers and acted calmly. As time went on, everyone had forgotten how angry the emperor was.

Especially since the incident involving spies in southern Xinjiang had become a big deal recently and had involved the palace, the emperor was furious this time.

Deal with Lord Lin directly.

It was no use for Lord Lin to beg for mercy.

Just like that, I was dragged away.

The emperor said, "If any of you still have any doubts, why don't you also take out one million dan of grain and medicinal materials to solve the current problem."

"Don't be unable to solve the problems of the court, but only think about dealing with those who can solve the problems."

"Do you think that by dealing with people who can solve problems, your incompetence will not be highlighted?"

"Yes or no!"

When the emperor said this, his eyes became sharp.

Everyone was trembling with fear, feeling cold sweat on their backs, and they dared not speak nonsense at this time.

At this time, the emperor looked at the ministers in the court with a dazed expression.

He missed the Wei family even more.

If the Wei family were still there, the Northern Rong would not dare to attack the border.

The Wei family is deeply loyal to the State of Yan, which is something these people cannot compare to.

The Wei family has been loyal to their country for generations.

Looking at Jiang Zhinian again, the emperor was even more moved.

Even the granddaughter taught by Wei Ying is better than others.

If this were a man, he would definitely use him.

What a pity it is a woman.

Thinking about what she had been through, thinking about how she was almost killed by those people in Murong Marquis' Mansion.

Even the emperor couldn't bear it.

The emperor looked at Jiang Zhinian with a much kinder look in his eyes.

"Jiang Zhinian, you don't have to be afraid. You donated food and medicine to support the border war and to solve the plague in Jiangzhou. You are loyal and righteous. I will make you the county lord..."

The emperor seemed determined to make Jiang Zhinian the county lord.

With the title of county princess conferred by the emperor himself, Jiang Zhinian's status will be high enough when she meets the ladies of noble families in the future, and she will not be bullied.

The emperor seemed to be supporting Jiang Zhinian, so other ministers with ulterior motives naturally did not dare to speak nonsense.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, the reason why I was able to take out 10,000 dan of grain is because one of my subordinates accidentally got some seeds, and I heard that the yield would be relatively high."

"I have never planted seeds like that before. The farm I bought before had a lot of sandy land, and many crops were difficult to grow, so I tried to plant more of these crops."

"I didn't expect that one acre of land could produce 1,200 to 1,300 kilograms. That's why I was able to harvest so much food."

"It just happened that we had just harvested the autumn harvest. I am very happy and wanted to present these to the court."

"If these can be used as grain seeds and distributed to other places, then perhaps everyone in our Yan State will be able to have enough to eat."

"But I didn't expect to hear that the Northern Rong attacked the border and there was a food shortage. I just wanted to do my part to help the Yan State."

"I do not ask for any reward or grace. I think that we can enjoy such a peaceful and prosperous era because of the wise and brave leadership of the emperor and the border generals who guard the border and shed their blood..."

Jiang Zhinian said some exciting words, showing his righteousness.

She is not a selfless person.

The reason why she donated food and medicinal materials at this time was because she also wanted to be qualified to stand by Yan Jiyou's side.

Thinking of what he said to her the night he went to Jiangzhou, she always tossed and turned.

He was working hard for her, even facing the danger of plague in Jiangzhou, she couldn't do nothing.

She also has to work hard to stand by his side.
