If what Jia Jue said is correct, then he will have enough confidence to refuse this marriage!

Mingji frowned, sure enough, there was a huge change in this matter.

He took a deep breath and glanced at the officials in the palace:

It's your turn, my allies.

Sure enough, someone immediately stood up and said to Zhao Qi:

"Your Majesty, although potatoes are good, if you want to sow seeds in the world, there are too many changes in it. If there is any obstacle, the consequences will be disastrous. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

After this person finished speaking, another person stood up and echoed:

"Your Majesty, I agree with you. The Kingdom of Fusang and I have a very deep relationship, but the relationship has become estranged in recent years. At this time, the second prince of the Kingdom of Fusang came to the door to ask for the princess. , It can also restore the relationship between our dynasty and Fusang."

After the two finished speaking, a large number of courtiers stood up and shouted "Weichen seconded the proposal" one after another.

Seeing so many courtiers express their support, Mingji and Liusheng's eyes were full of excitement.

They never imagined that Baiying's influence in the court would be so great.

In fact, not only them, even Zhao Qi was extremely surprised.

He could understand that there were many people who agreed with it before, after all, it was for the sake of the people of the world, but now that the food crisis is about to be lifted, so many courtiers choose to agree, this is beyond his comprehension.

In his heart, he is unwilling to make a kiss, after all, it doesn't match his style.

But now, with so many courtiers agreeing, he had to think again.

Seeing this scene, Mingji and Liusheng smiled again, and they glanced at Jia Jue proudly:

So what if you are not short of food?

In the end, didn't he marry the princess obediently?

Just when they were proud, Jia Jue said:

"Your Majesty, when I was interrogating Xiaolian, the servant, I got a letter about Fusang Kingdom."

"Oh? Tell me?" Zhao Qi asked hastily.

"Princess Qiuzi of the Fusang Kingdom is about to come to the capital. She admires the culture of the Central Plains and wants to marry the Han people. If the court wants to restore the old relationship with the Fusang Kingdom, why not marry Princess Qiuzi as a prince?" Jia Jue laughed.

what?

Mingji and Liusheng were stunned, Qiuzi came?

How could they not know?

Afterwards, their faces changed drastically, and a bad premonition emerged in their hearts.

"Okay! This statement makes sense!" Zhao Qiwen laughed loudly and asked the courtiers, "Do you think so?"

"Master Jia's words are true! My minister seconded the proposal!"

"Wei Chen agrees!"

"Wei Chen agrees!"

"Wei Chen agrees!"

……

More courtiers stood up and excitedly expressed their approval to Zhao Qi.

Marrying a princess and marrying a princess are both related, but the difference between them is a thousand miles away.

The former is a helpless move, while the latter is definitely a matter of boosting the country's prestige!No matter who it is, they will choose to marry a foreign princess!

Looking at these courtiers, Ming Ji and Liu Sheng fell to the bottom of their hearts.

It's over, the way of the courtiers has been completely blocked.

For the current plan, we can only hope that the potato is not worthy of its name.

However, while they were waiting anxiously, several figures suddenly ran in from outside the hall.

They were covered in mud, but their expressions were extremely excited. They were Chen Jiang and others who had left before.

They came to the hall and said excitedly to Zhao Qi:

"Your Majesty, I'm overjoyed, overjoyed! I went to see the potatoes, and it's not only a thousand catties per mu, it's almost [-] catties! Moreover, planting is very simple, and you can learn it at once! Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty! Countless people I will be saved because of this! I will wait for the Han people to have no more famine in the future!"

His emotions infected other courtiers, and they all bowed to Zhao Qi:

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"Hahahahaha!" Zhao Qi laughed heartily when he saw this. The famine has always been a worry in his heart, but now it has finally been resolved, and the famine has even been eradicated once and for all. How could he not be happy?

After laughing, he suddenly looked at Jia Jue, and said softly:

"Jia Jue listens!"

Chapter 248

"Jia Jue cleverly solved a strange case, maintaining the majesty of the imperial court first; offering strange fruits to benefit all people in the world. The merit is so great, I have to reward him. He was specially promoted to the first rank, and he was named the third-class Marquis of Renyi!" Zhao Qi looked at Jia Jue and said loudly.

As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at Jia Jue with envy.

In just a few months, he was directly promoted from Earl to Marquis, an unprecedented promotion speed.

How many marquises can there be in such a vast world?

In just a few months, Jia Jue has achieved something that countless generations of families could not do. This honor is beyond the reach of others.

However, this is not the end, Zhao Qi's words are not over yet:

"Jia Jue's heart is as careful as dust, his eyes are as bright as a torch, he is witty and intelligent, and he is extremely talented in the way of punishment and prison. Therefore, he was promoted to a higher rank and made him in charge of 'raising some punishment and prison'. He can intervene in all judicial and prison affairs in the world. .”

Whoa!

As soon as these words came out, there was a sound of exclamation in the audience.

Originally, Jia Jue was appointed as the emperor's servant, and everyone knew that he would be reused.

But I didn't expect that this day would come so fast, and this "reuse" would be so "heavy".

Speaking of prison, what kind of official has such a duty?

Mention the judge!

For example, Da Song mentions the criminal officer, Song Ci!

However, in the Song Dynasty, the criminal officials were local administrative officials at the "road" level.

What about Jia Jue?

What he is in charge of is "the affairs of justice, punishment and prison in all the world", one "world" and one "road", the two are very different.

At this time, he can be said to have the right to intervene in all judicial-related matters in the world.

The weight of authority can be seen.

However, Zhao Qi's words were still not finished. When everyone was shocked, they only heard him continue:

"Jia Jue knows about farming, understands the sky, and has extremely high attainments in "farming". This time, he has saved thousands of people. How can I not use such talents? Responsibility, all farming affairs in the world, he can intervene."

hiss!

Everyone hadn't recovered from the astonishment just now, but after hearing the words, they were forced to gasp again.

Jia Jue is in charge of the world's criminal and prison affairs, and at this time he is also in charge of the world's agricultural affairs. The power is so great that it is really unimaginable.

Moreover, two officials were promoted to one rank, but his rank was directly raised from the fifth rank to the fourth rank.

In just one month, he has grown from a mediocre person to a senior official of the fourth rank, reaching a height that countless people can't achieve in a lifetime.

Really shocking and envious.

At the same time, they all understood that when Jia Jue was admitted as the No. [-] scholar, Zhao Qi appointed him the emperor's servant, and he still had no fixed position.

Because, he can add responsibilities to Jia Jue at any time!

If Jia Jue made such great achievements in the future, his responsibilities would change.

Jia Jue's future is limitless!

"Wei Chen, thank Your Majesty for your grace!" At this time, Jia Jue thanked Zhao Qilang.

Zhao Qi looked at him and said with a smile, "Jia Jue, don't let me down!"

To other people, he usually calls him "Aiqing". Although this seems close, in fact, it has already become a formulaic colloquial term.

But from beginning to end, he always called Jia Jue by his first name, and the meaning was self-evident.

He is indeed a suspicious and cruel person by nature, but he is indeed a qualified emperor, and he also wants to make the country rich and the people strong. Therefore, he really loves and places high hopes on talents like Jia Jue.

"This humble minister will live up to His Majesty's expectations." Jia Jue said with a bow.

Mingji and Liusheng on the side looked at Jia Jue being rewarded, feeling indescribably bitter in their hearts.

Jia Jue solved the case, cheated them once, made them a scapegoat, and had to pay 500 million taels of silver.

Jia Jue's offer of potatoes had cheated them once again, and made them lose the greatest capital of marriage.

It can be said that Jia Jue's advancement to the ranks was obtained by stepping on their faces!

But they couldn't do anything, they could only swallow their bitterness and watch all this helplessly.

Just when their hearts were feeling sour, Zhao Qi suddenly looked at them:

"Two Fusang envoys, I will give you a formal response to the two matters you mentioned earlier."

Both of them were shocked when they heard the words, and quickly looked at Zhao Qi.

In their eyes, Zhao Qi said:

"First, Fusang Ambassador Tang Zexiong's death was caused by your Fusang Kingdom. You burned down the Honglu Temple and spent countless manpower, material and financial resources. You must pay 500 million taels of silver in compensation! You are only allowed to deliver the money within three months. "

Mingji and Liusheng's expressions became completely gloomy when they heard the words. Although they already knew the truth, Zhao Qi said it in such a tone and gave them a delivery deadline, which made them extremely uncomfortable.

"Secondly, regarding the marriage, Princess Chao is not in good health and is not suitable for marriage. It is said that your princess from Fusang Kingdom wants to come to Beijing. If you want to marry my big man, you might as well marry the princess to our court." Zhao Qi swept them With a glance, he said again.

He didn't want to marry Zhao Jing at all, and now that the food crisis has been resolved, he has enough confidence to refuse the marriage, not to mention that the princess of Fusang Kingdom is about to come to the capital.

He could see clearly at this time, this Princess Fusang should be the method of the third prince of Fusang, so he didn't need to give Mingji any face at all, he could come here however he wanted.
