Chapter 57

Tai Chi Temple.

Green smoke curls up from the red copper stove, aroma diffuses and fills the hall, the breeze blows through the palace bells under the eaves, and the lingering lingering sound of the melodious ringing rings around the beams.

Civil and martial arts enter the palace, and hundreds of officials enter the court.

Holding the court board, the officials whispered to each other, and the whispers spread from among the officials.

"Why didn't Li Xian go to the court when he entered the palace gate just now?"

Many courtiers paid a lot of attention to this new emperor's darling, recalling the occasional encounter at the palace gate, they couldn't help but voice their doubts.

Someone whispered beside the two of them, with a bit of sourness in the words.

"Going to court? You two don't know yet?"

"Now that Li Xian is the prince's teacher, he has entered the Jin Palace, tsk tsk, it's incomparably majestic."

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The soft words attracted all the courtiers around him to look sideways, and they were all surprised.

Many people flocked over, shocked and chattering.

"How is this possible? How can Li Xian be able to teach the prince? He is also worthy of being in the palace?"

"Isn't that right? He has no virtue, no talent, no wealth, a mediocre pawn, and no prestige in Chang'an City. What kind of professor should he take?"

"In these days, can it be possible to fish in troubled waters, make a big splash, and be able to make a big splash, ranking above the talented?"

"Hey~ In the end, I still rely on the sacred favor and do whatever I want. The Duke of Wei is glorious in Tangjiang. How can there be such a glib child who is greedy for fame!"

When the words came to this point, the noisy courtiers were afraid of Li Jing's high reputation, so they unconsciously lowered their volume, and turned to Li Jing's side from the corner of their eyes.

Noisy discussions lingered in the ears, piercing the heart like sharp knives and random arrows, only made Li Jing clenched his fists secretly, his heart ached.

Li Xian may be just like what the courtiers said, ignorant and incapable of learning, but in his heart, Li Jing thinks that this child is not that unbearable.

Good-natured, occasionally have some whimsical ideas, such as cooking and barbecue, but it can be quite heart-warming.

Although Li Jing was particularly disdainful of being good at cooking, he finally got some comfort in his heart.

At least, Xian'er is not a worthless person!
But this time, it sounded like Li Jing was very unpleasant.

The noise rose again, and the figure gradually became angry.

With radiance shining in his eyes, the old minister of Sinong Temple raised his head, with a sense of righteousness on his face, and cupped his hands to the sky.

"Li Xian, relying on his name as the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty, climbed the dragon and became the phoenix, and then sought a high position."

"Such evil deeds have brought disaster to the court and deceived the Sacred Heart. This old man will definitely expose it today and restore my Great Tang Dynasty to a clear future."

As soon as these words came out, originally thinking about Li Xian's status as a courtier as the prince's teacher, his heart became clear as if he could see the sun behind the clouds.

Datang pays attention to clear rewards and punishments.

But Li Xian was the only one who was rewarded for nothing, and this time he even entered the palace and soared into the sky.

Mostly relying on the rhetoric of the previous imperial decree to win His Majesty's approval, they can do anything wrong.

"Not bad!"

The old minister of Sinong Temple with his gray beard curled up, his expression suddenly agitated, he spoke assertively.

"Li Xian was originally a mediocre person. He didn't make a single step out of the door, and his reputation and wealth were in a mess."

"The prince is the hope of the country, how can such a heavy responsibility be entrusted to the head of such a recalcitrant?"

"Nowadays the Tang Dynasty is full of disasters, floods in the north, and frontier troubles in the west. These are all places that cannot be lost. Now there is a mysterious person who donates potatoes. The yield of tens of stones per mu is unheard of. This old man is puzzled."

"This time, it's Li Xian who is teaching the royal family again, disturbing the imperial court. My Tang Dynasty is worrying inside and out."

The ministers of Sinong Temple were half-believed about Tudou, but this time they heard that Li Xian was the prince, and they were even more confused.

What kind of ecstasy potion did Li Xian pour into His Majesty to be so favored?
All the grievances in my heart naturally superimposed on Li Xian.

There was an old official with a sad face, he cupped his fists and faced the old official of Sinong Temple, bowing respectfully.

"Food and grass are the livelihood of thousands of people! Don't listen to rumors and act hastily!"

"Veteran is petitioning, and I hope that Si Nong Temple will invite His Majesty to ask you why, so that you can rest assured!"

After finishing speaking, mist rose from the corners of the old minister's eyes, he arched his arms and slowly walked around the ministers, crying with tears.

"Everyone, the rumors are rampant, and the villain is in charge."

"We, Datang, are unlucky!"

After the words fell, many courtiers looked dignified, and many people bowed their hands in return.

"The old man is willing to remonstrate with His Majesty, rectify the court, and eliminate the evil!"

Exciting words lingered in the noisy hall, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian and other ministers looked gloomy and thoughtful.

Compared with the excitement of the crowd, these scheming veterans are extraordinarily calm and quiet.

The courtiers questioned, not unreasonably.

But tracing the root cause is nothing more than these courtiers, only a few words of suspicion, but there seems to be no solid evidence when talking about it.

Standing among the generals, Li Jing glanced at the old ministers who had reached a consensus and tried their best to admonish him, his forehead was sweating, his heart was pounding like a drum.

There is nothing wrong with dictating radically prejudiced words before, after all, Li Xian is an idler!
But this time the ministers strongly recommend it, it is inevitable that it is a bit too much!

This is clearly to squeeze Li Xian out, leaving no room for it!
Today is Xian'er's first time entering the palace, and he was criticized like this, I'm afraid...

"Your Majesty is in court, all officials bow down~"

The long and thin voice resounded throughout the hall, interrupting the chaotic hall and Li Jing's meditation, and all the officials knelt down in silence.

Qi Qi bowed in front of the figure, and Li Shimin walked like a dragon and sat firmly on the dragon seat.

"Be flat!"

All the officials in the hall dispersed, and the old officials of Sinong Temple were left alone, holding the court board, respectfully kneeling in place.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has something important to ask."

A look of astonishment flashed across his cheeks with a smile on his face, Li Shimin flicked his dragon sleeves and let out a forceful voice.

"Si Nongqing, what's the point of admonishment, get up and talk about it."

With arms wide open and closed, the veteran official of Sinong Temple prostrated himself on the ground, bowing respectfully.

When he raised his head again, his wrinkled cheeks were already full of tears, he clasped his fists and squeezed the board, and wept.

"His Majesty."

"Today's chaotic ministers are in power, offering slanderous words, deceiving courtiers, and causing chaos to all officials."

"I have been walking in the fields for dozens of years, and I have set foot on half of the territory of the Tang Dynasty. I have never heard of dozens of stone crops per mu."

"The old minister thinks that the yield of potatoes per hectare is nothing more than boastful, but someone has slandered and deceived the Sacred Heart! I hope that His Majesty will summon this person so that the old minister can testify against him, so that the truth can be revealed!"

When he was worthy of going to court, there was this person hastily admonishing him!
Leaving aside the kneeling figures in the hall, Li Shimin suddenly felt angry.

It is understandable to question Tudou for the first time, but just looking at his posture, there is a feeling that he will not give up until he finds out the people behind the scenes.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Li Shimin leaned over, narrowed his eyes slightly, and murmured.

"The world is so big, there are so many wonders, why not produce dozens of stones per mu?"

"Spring leeks in the field can regenerate once they are cut. Bamboo shoots in the forest can grow in the soil without any care. Why can't mere potatoes have something unique? Now planting is imminent, more or less, and it will bear fruit in the coming year. .”

"Si Nongqing, you are a little overly sensitive."

The reason why he said this is that Li Shimin respected Li Xian's hidden nature and did not want to force Li Xian to show his face.

The furrows and furrows on his forehead became deeper and deeper, Sinongqing walked a few steps on his knees, his cheeks became more worried, and he spoke out.

"His Majesty!"

"This is a trick of a traitor! Don't believe in the rumor!"

"In this way, our Tang Dynasty will be barren for a season of wheat seedlings, which will be the rations of tens of thousands of people!"

Seeing that Li Shimin wanted to dismiss the matter with a few words, Si Nong Siqing didn't care that this was a word of suspicion, so he hurriedly said it in an attempt to win back the king's attention.

"enough."

Pressing the dragon seat, he clenched his big hand suddenly, Li Shimin's thick eyebrows were slightly condensed, and two cold lights shot out from his tiger eyes, staring at the kneeling and begging figure in the hall.

Gritting his teeth, Li Shimin glanced across at the ministers, his majestic voice carrying a stern charm.

"When the potato fetish was dug up, I saw it with my own eyes!"

"The plant is short and the yield is amazing, why fake it!"

The tiger's eyes were all concentrated, and it was like a long whale absorbing water, and it was like a long whale absorbing water. It pressed down on the kneeling figure in the hall, and squeezed out its lips and tongue every word.

"Si Nongqing, do you really think that I live in a palace, so you don't care about world affairs?"

"Or do you think, Zhen, that you have been handling government affairs for too long, your eyes are covered with dust, and you can't tell the difference between treachery and loyalty?"
