Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 778: :Princess Shaoyi
The governor of Shaoyi County experimented with planting a crop called sweet potato that was introduced into the country from overseas. This crop is drought-tolerant, ridge-tolerant, has high yields, and its leaves, vines, and roots are all edible.
King Wu Mu assisted the major Zhuangzi under the name of Shaoyi County to promote the planting of this crop. The sweet potato actually survived the drought and produced root tubes as big as pears.
The affected people relied on eating potato leaves in summer, potato vines in autumn, and potato cubes in winter, which greatly alleviated the disaster.
At the same time, Ye Hanyuan, who was far away in Zhejiang, also went to court. After the floods in Zhejiang, the head of Shaoyi County promoted the planting of sweet potatoes in Zhejiang, and there was still a harvest of sweet potatoes in December.
Once the news came out, it not only shocked the court, but also thousands of Li people.
The imperial court learned that sweet potatoes were also grown in the suburbs of Beijing.
Specially sent people to Xiaozhouzhuang, Rouge Village, and nearby villages to inspect, confirming that what King Wu Mu and Lord Ye said were true, and brought back sweet potatoes.
On the second day, the Queen Mother went to the Golden Palace and ordered people to distribute sweet potatoes to the courtiers to taste.
Cooked in eighteen ways, it tastes delicious no matter how you cook it. Eat it raw to quench your thirst and promote fluid production. When cooked, eat a small piece to fill your stomach. The whole court was shocked by it.
At that moment, an old minister knelt down on the Golden Palace, shouting with tears: "God bless my great Zhou, God bless my great Zhou,"
Some veterans were so excited that their eyes filled with tears and said: "This move by the Lord Shaoyi County is beneficial to the present and will be beneficial to the future. It is a blessing to His Majesty, a blessing to all the people, and it is the prosperity of the country!"
"The Lord of Shaoyi County is very righteous. I sincerely implore Your Majesty and the Queen Mother to reward the Lord of Shaoyi County generously."
"I second the proposal. The Lord of Shaoyi County has a glorious ancestor and is full of benevolence and loyalty. For many years, he has run charity halls, soup kitchens, donated money, and helped the victims. Although he is a female prostitute, he has a benevolent heart and benevolent virtues to help the world. Better than a man."
"..."
Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the emphasis has been on agriculture and suppressing commerce. The court distributes new seeds every year and encourages people to try planting. The court will reward any successful planting.
Yu Youyao's benevolent act of experimenting with planting new species alleviated the drought in one place and benefited thousands of people in the world. For such a great achievement, if it were a man, he would be awarded the title of marquis and general.
Rewarding the head of Shaoyi County generously has almost become popular.
The cabinet held an urgent meeting that day and planned to apply for the title of Princess Shaoyi County Princess.
The post was presented to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager took a red pen, circled the word "Yi" and said: "The word "Yi" does not mean it, please re-draw it."
The cabinet discussed all night, and finally the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs proposed to change the word "yi" to the word "yi", and bluntly said: "The merits of the Lord of Shaoyi County will be recorded in the annals of history, and "yi" means small appearance and small virtue. , so it does not express merit or declare virtue. "Yi" means deep appearance, great appearance, and great virtue, which means praise and praise. The word is the same as "噫", which is an interjection and praise for virtue."
The Minister of the Ministry of War also seconded the proposal: "The posthumous law in "Book of Zhou" says: "Rouke is Yi, gentleness and saintliness are called Yi. The benevolence, virtue, saintliness and goodness of the Lord of Shaoyi County can only be expressed by the word Yi."
The Ministry of Rites also agrees: "The word "Yi" should be regarded as being from the heart and from the debt, which means holding one's ambition and not being aggressive. The beauty is in it, and it is smoother than the four branches. Shaoyi County Lord deserves the title."
On the second day, the plan to seal the account was once again handed to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother looked at Hou Zhu’s approval and said: “Accurate!”
At the same time, the imperial edict that had been worked on for three days was officially completed. On the second day, Emperor Luan Jia arrived at the Yu Mansion. Yu Youyao was not there, so Yu Zongzheng and Jiang received the edict on their behalf.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs is also stepping up its efforts to supervise Princess Shaoyi's obedience.
By the time the orders were completed and rushed to Quanzhou, it was already the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year was approaching.
The accompanying servants, led by Jiazhou Mansion, came to Xie Mansion. Mr. Xie immediately led the whole family of Xie Mansion to kneel down to thank the Emperor for his kindness and the Queen Mother's grace.
The chamberlain also brought rewards from the imperial court, including fertile land, cloth, gold, jade, antiques, spices and medicinal materials, etc., which were very generous.
The chamberlain presented the jade plate representing the princess' identity to Yu Youyao, and passed on the Queen Mother's words: "...according to etiquette, Princess Shaoyi should immediately return to Beijing and enter the palace to thank the Queen Mother. It is only in the middle of winter. The occasion is not suitable for a hard journey, so the Queen Mother expresses her kindness to the princess and allows the princess to return to the capital after the new year."
Yu Youyao immediately knelt down to thank him.
This trip was very hard. The Xie Mansion prepared a lot of gifts and sent the father-in-law and the accompanying people out of the house politely.
The chamberlain's father-in-law looked at the rich gifts piled up in a carriage and suddenly felt that this trip was worth it.
A group of people went to the inn to rest for a night and take some rest.
On the second day, we will set off back to Beijing.
Yu Youyao brought the fragrant medicine she made herself to give to each other.
The fragrant medicine was made for the Queen Mother, and whether the Queen Mother used it or not was secondary. However, after receiving the Queen Mother's favor and becoming a noble daughter of the clan, she had to show some filial piety.
Yu Youyao returned to Xie's Mansion and discussed with her grandfather: "While the security in Quanzhou is loose today, let's make preparations and evacuate Quanzhou at midnight tonight."
Worried about arousing suspicion, everything in the Xie Mansion remained as usual during the day, as if there was nothing strange about it. However, as soon as night fell, the mansion began to take action.
Yu Youyao told Yin San to arrange for one hundred elite soldiers to guard "Shaoyuan". Some of them would go to the dock to meet them, and some of them would **** them out of the city.
At this time, after seeing off the people from the palace, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He planned to pamper his beloved concubine at home and have fun. The Jiazhou Mansion, where he was relaxing, was in high spirits. The housekeeper shouted from the gentle village.
Jiazhou Mansion was furious, but had no choice but to curse. He got up from his concubine, hurriedly put on his clothes and went to the study.
Jiazhou Mansion took the note from the spy~IndoMTL.com~ and frowned: "The Xie Mansion is going to run away? I have been sending people to keep an eye on the Xie Mansion these days, but I haven't noticed anything strange?"
The spy said respectfully: "The news came from the internal affairs we arranged in Xie's Mansion. Xie's Mansion should guard against the Yamen of the Prefecture. The escape plan was arranged very carefully. He also planned to escape with the whole family. It was inevitable that there would be some commotion at home. Only then did the insider notice the clues and quickly reported it."
Jiazhou Mansion stared at the note for a long time: "Perhaps last time Chang Feng teased Princess Shaoyi in the street, which aroused the Xie Mansion's suspicion. During this time, Quanzhou started martial law, which made the Xie Mansion aware of the clues. ," He thought about it for a while, and then said: "Take five hundred elite soldiers to Xie's Mansion immediately."
"Sir," the spy was originally from Prince Liang's side, so he hesitated, "There is no news from Prince Liang yet, so if we rush there like this, will we alert the enemy?"
Jiazhou Mansion immediately said: "The recent commotion in Quanzhou has been quite big. Princess Shaoyi is the eldest daughter raised by a noble family and has seen the world in Beijing. Xu Shijing noticed something, but she was suffering from the lack of evidence, and Because the Xie Mansion is controlled by the government and in order to protect itself, it has been holding back."
