Chapter 586 Zhao Deyan Reported Xu Jingzong

Tai Chi Palace, Ganlu Palace!
In the evening, Li Er also started to eat dinner!
Yushantang made two dishes for Li Er today: Spicy Chicken and Chili Stir-Fried Pork.

Li Er eats deliciously!
Wang Gonggong stood behind Li Er respectfully and waited for him to eat.

Da da!

At this moment, Zhao Deyan, the capital water supervisor, suddenly came to the imperial dining hall of Ganlu Palace again.

Li Er was enjoying his meal, but he was interrupted by someone halfway, and he immediately showed displeasure.

Fortunately, it was Zhao Deyan who came, otherwise Li Er would have severely punished him!

As the head of the secret spy department, Zhao Deyan can unimpeded in the Tai Chi Palace, this is the privilege Li Er gave him!
Except for Li Er's bedroom, where Zhao Deyan can't force his way, Zhao Deyan can go anywhere else.

Including the Manna Hall!
"Wei Chen sees His Majesty!"

Zhao Deyan immediately bowed his hands respectfully and saluted as a courtier!
Li Er put down his chopsticks, raised his head, stared at Zhao Deyan, and asked, "Zhao Deyan, what do you have to tell me today?"

Zhao Deyan said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, the Shaofu harvested corn today, and it has already harvested two thousand mu and one hundred thousand stones of corn. Congratulations!"

Li Erlong Yan Dayue said: "I didn't expect the yield of corn to be so high, Xiao Yuchi really didn't deceive me!"

Zhao Deyan echoed: "Your Majesty, the yield per mu of corn is almost the same as the yield per mu of potatoes!"

"Zhao Deyan, if nothing happens, you can leave!"

Li Er was about to send Zhao Deyan away.

Zhao Deyan hesitated to speak, but stopped: "Your Majesty, Xu Jingzong sent a stone of potatoes and a stone of sweet potatoes to Wu Meiniang without authorization today. This minister feels that he did something wrong!"

Li Er learned that since Xu Jingzong dared to send his own potatoes and sweet potatoes to Wu Meiniang without authorization, Long Yan said angrily: "Zhao Deyan, is this serious?"

Eunuch Wang even scolded: "Xu Jingzong is so courageous!"

In fact, the reason why Zhao Deyan was so anxious to meet the saint was to state the matter to Li Er.

As Li Er's lackey, Zhao Deyan felt that he had to attack those who harmed Li Er's interests!

Even if Xu Jingzong is Yu Chihuan's retainer, Zhao Deyan dares to offend him!

Eunuch Wang appreciates Zhao Deyan's actions very much!
Zhao Deyan resolutely said: "Your Majesty, the young Prime Minister Yuchi can testify to this matter!"

Li Er said awkwardly: "Ahem... Zhao Deyan, is it Xiao Yuchi's idea for Xu Jingzong to give Wu Meiniang sweet potatoes and potatoes?"

Zhao Deyan thought in a remote way, nodded and said: "Your Majesty, Wu Meiniang is a student of Young Chancellor Yuchi, Xu Jingzong must have given sweet potatoes and potatoes to Wu Meiniang to please Young Chancellor Yuchi!"

After listening to Zhao Deyan's words, Wang Gonggong couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Zhao Deyan, little Yuchi has a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes on him, why should he give away His Majesty's potatoes and sweet potatoes?"

Zhao Deyan was speechless and said: "My lord, my humble position did not deceive Your Majesty!"

Li Er sighed and said: "Big companion, Zhao Deyan, you don't need to talk about this matter anymore!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

"Slaves follow orders!"

Zhao Deyan and Wang Gonggong received the order with one voice.

In the end, Li Er took it easy and did not hold Xu Jingzong accountable for giving the potatoes and sweet potatoes from the Royal Farm to Wu Meiniang without permission!
"Zhao Deyan, in the future, you don't need to report to me about the matter related to the Royal Farm and Xiao Yuchi, otherwise I suspect that you are alienating the friendship between our two monarchs and ministers!"

Li Er thought for a while, and seriously reminded Zhao Deyan!

"The minister obeys the order!"

Zhao Deyan was covered in cold sweat, he never expected Li Er to trust Yuchihuan so much!

The prince slapped his horse and said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Er smiled and asked, "Big Companion, where do you think I am wise?"

The prince replied without hesitation: "Your Majesty, the potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, and pepper seedlings of the Royal Farm are all given to Your Majesty by Xiao Yuchi. Little Yuchi is beneficial to the Royal Farm and not harmful!"

Li Ermei smiled and said: "You are right, I believe that Xiao Yuchi will definitely give me crops in the future hahaha!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward!"

Wang Gonggong was praised by Li Er, and he immediately felt comfortable.

"Your Majesty, I will take my leave!"

Seeing that Li Er had no intention of punishing Xu Jingzong, Zhao Deyan had no choice but to give up.

"Zhao Deyan, step back!"

Li Er waved his hand.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Zhao Deyan immediately backed out of the imperial dining hall.

Li Er sent Zhao Deyan away, and continued to eat.

……

Shanglin Garden, Royal Farm!

Evening time!

In order to finish harvesting the corn as soon as possible, Xu Jingzong turned on the lamp to harvest the corn overnight!

According to the harvesting speed of the farmers of the Royal Farm, these corn fields can definitely be harvested before tomorrow morning.

In the past, Datang lacked kerosene, so the Royal Farm did not dare to use expensive oil lamps to light fires.

But since Yuchihuan developed coal mines and oil mines in Yulin City, the price of kerosene in Chang'an City has plummeted!
The Royal Farm also prepared more than a dozen large lamps to light up the cornfield tonight, illuminating the cornfield as brightly as day.

This was something unimaginable before!

“Hopefully we’ll have all this corn picked by tomorrow morning!”

Xu Jingzong had to stay up all night to harvest corn in order to hurry up.

Hard work pays off!
Xu Jingzong's efforts were not in vain!

After a busy night, the farmers of the Royal Farm finally finished harvesting all the corn fields.

This time, the Royal Farm harvested a total of 25 stones of corn from the [-]-mu corn field.

The yield per mu of the corn field is fifty stone!
Even if the corn is dried and threshed, the yield of corn per mu is more than ten stones.

This yield is much higher than that of rice and wheat!

Xu Jingzong then hurried to Chang'an City to make an early court while the night was still dark!

And the [-]-acre corn field planted by the Changsun family and the Wei family also harvested a thousand stones of corn yesterday!

These corns have been escorted to Chang'an City by the servants of the Shaofu Yamen, and they are going to be distributed to civil and military officials!
The corn in the Royal Farm needs to be dried after being harvested, otherwise it will not be easy to preserve!
The corn from the Royal Farm will be distributed as seeds to the people of Datang to plant!
……

Chang'an City, Tai Chi Palace!
In the morning, Xu Jingzong finally arrived at the Suzaku Gate of Taiji Palace, so he quickly got off the carriage and went to the Xuanzheng Hall for the morning court.

When he arrived at the Xuanzheng Hall, Xu Jingzong immediately saw that all civil and military officials were standing up, ready to go to court.

Even the officials from the Ministry of Education have already arrived.

Changsun Shunde and Yu Chihuan stood in front of the officials!
Eunuch Wang has already brought Li Er to the entrance of the back hall.

"Fortunately, it came in time!"

Xu Jingzong immediately ran to the position of Shaofu and stood there!

"His Majesty is here!"

Wang Gonggong then shouted and led Li Er into the Xuanzheng Hall.

When Li Er stepped into the Xuanzheng Hall, he also saw Xu Jingzong's figure. He wanted to get angry at first, but when he saw Xu Jingzong's dusty appearance, he didn't blame him.

"It seems that Xu Jingzong has finished harvesting the cornfield of the Royal Farm overnight!"

Li Er was very smart, he immediately guessed why Xu Jingzong came to court so late!
