Chapter 254: Making a Feint to the East and Attacking in the West (Asking for Monthly Votes)

"The yield per acre is thousands of kilograms...helping the world and saving the people...the merit is in the present and the benefit will be in the future...there will be no more hunger in the world...the most important weapon of the country..."

In the lobby of the Beizhen Office, Shen Fa carefully browsed Yang Ge's autographed letter for the third time, picking out the beautiful words between the lines like a dog crawling. Although he still didn't understand why Yang Ge valued this so much. Planting a foreign coarse grain called "sweet potato", but I was deeply shocked.

He has known Yang Ge for so many years, and he has never seen Yang Ge praise anyone or anything so highly. The use of such beautiful words is almost enough to qualify for the top prize!

Compare that salted fish with the disgusting treatment he received when he saw that his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes. This Chen Zhenlong and his sweet potatoes...

Feeling aggrieved, Shen Fa put down Yang Ge's autographed letter, raised his hand and slapped it on the hall case. He asked Chen Zhenlong, who was waiting in the hall, what kind of ecstasy soup he had poured into Yang Ge, but his palm was about to fall on the hall case. On the other side, Yang Ge suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, holding his arms and sneering. His heart suddenly trembled, and the hand that was about to slap heavily on the table in the hall fell quietly and gently.

"Mr. Chen..."

He forced a smile, but it looked ferocious.

Chen Zhenlong, who was already worried in the hall, was startled. He hurriedly clasped his palms and bowed, saying, "Uncle, I have offended the student. As a commoner, the student should not be treated with courtesy by the uncle."

Shen Fa breathed out softly, raised his hand from afar, and said warmly: "Mr. Chen, there is no need to be polite. I and Marquis Lu Ting will never go against each other. Marquis Lu Ting will greet you as 'sir', and I will follow your example... Just please Sir, please excuse me, but this thing is really as good as Lu Tinghou said, and it can produce a thousand catties per acre?"

Chen Zhenlong hesitated in his heart. He was very clear in his mind. Every word that came out of his mouth at this moment was like an iron plate. Every word was nailed to his body. If there was a slight mistake, his head would move...

Under the instinct of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, he subconsciously wanted to retreat, but somehow the gentle look of the second master squatting on the field and stroking the sweet potato leaves came to mind. The words of retreat could not be uttered no matter what. .

He struggled for several breaths, and finally gritted his molars and clasped his hands and said: "Students dare not lie to adults. Sweet potatoes can be harvested twice a year in Luzon Island. The yield of spring potatoes can reach two thousand kilograms per mu, and the yield of summer potatoes per mu." It can weigh up to 1,000 kilograms. A student was lucky enough to find sweet potatoes from Luzon Island and try to grow them at home for three seasons. Sweet potatoes are suitable for the soil and water of our country. With intensive cultivation, the yield per mu will be even better... Student Chen Zhenlong is willing to guarantee it with his life! "

"good!"

Shen Fa took a look at the investigation and suddenly said: "Marquis Lu Ting did not misjudge the person, sir, he is truly unparalleled in the country!"

He grabbed the big cloak on the side and put it on his body, and said loudly and excitedly: "Sir, please accompany me to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit. This auspiciousness is a sign of God's blessing on our great Wei Dynasty, and it should be presented to the official's family by you personally."

Chen Zhenlong hurriedly waved his hands and said: "How dare a student, a common man, take the credit for ruling the world? It all depends on the support of Mr. Yang Houye and Uncle Shen. The student has worked so hard and is not worth mentioning!"

"Sir, there is no need to be humble!"

Shen Fa strode into the lobby and held Chen Zhenlong's arm with one hand: "Mr. Lu Tinghou Yan is worthy of the job, sir, Mr. Ben is worthy of the job... Come here, prepare your horse!"

…

Half an hour later, Shen Fa held the sweet potato potted plant in his arms and walked through the front hall under the guidance of the small yellow door.

He was thinking about what to say when he saw the emperor later. When he came to his senses, he suddenly realized that the direction was not quite right. He immediately stopped and asked cautiously: "Eunuch Wu, is this the way to the minister's study room..."

If a foreign minister breaks into the harem without authorization, it is a crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.

What is a foreign minister?

Those in charge are all foreign ministers!

The little Huangmen who led the way looked around and said in a low voice: "Master Shen, the official dragon is slightly ill and is still recuperating in Qianqing Palace..."

Shen Fa was startled, thinking to himself, didn't he just say he was slightly ill last time? It's been seven or eight days, why haven't you recovered yet?

He felt a little worried, but he didn't dare to ask... The emperor's health has always been a top secret. Privately inquiring about the emperor's health before it is made public is also a capital crime!

"Your Majesty is unwell..."

He organized his words and said cautiously: "Can I trouble my father-in-law to inform your majesty on behalf of my subordinate, who will come to the palace to see you in a few days?"

As he spoke, he reached out and took out a golden nugget, and stuffed it into Xiao Huangmen's palm without leaving any trace.

Xiao Huangmen pinched the golden nugget in his palm and whispered carefully: "Didn't your Excellency say that Marquis Lu Ting has a written letter to the capital..."

Shen Fa suddenly woke up and said "No wonder" in his heart, but he still felt uneasy. He immediately followed Xiao Huangmen's footsteps, took out another gold nugget and stuffed it into Xiao Huangmen's palm, and pretended to be careless and whispered: "The imperial doctors at the Tai Hospital are really just a bunch of losers. The slight cold has lasted for so long..."

Xiaohuangmen squeezed Jin Nakedzi tightly and sighed: "Who says it's not the case? They all said it's nothing serious, but the official soup and medicine are not taken less, but Longwei has not been reorganized. Let me tell you, all those wine sacks and rice sacks should be taken away. Catch him and behead him!"

When Shen Fa heard this, his heart suddenly sank... The matter was serious!

Not long after, Shen Fa stepped into Qianqing Palace under the guidance of Xiaohuangmen.

"Bang."

He stepped across the threshold with his front foot, and the heavy palace door closed heavily with his back foot. A wave of heat mixed with a strong medicinal smell rushed towards him. Just one wave made him sweat slightly under his armpits.

"Zhonghe is here..."

Emperor Xiping's weak laughter came from the direction of the dragon bed. When Shen Fa turned his head, he saw two small yellow men helping the emperor to sit up.

He looked at Emperor Xiping in shock. He had not seen him for just half a month, but the emperor had lost a lot of weight. Even his double chin was gone, and his face was as ugly as if he had been coated with a layer of wax to prevent coldness.

He hurriedly rushed forward with the sweet potato plant in his arms, his voice hoarse in shock: "Your Majesty, why are you so thin..."

Seeing him rushing forward, a secret guard from Ouchi stepped forward and stretched out his hand to block him.

Emperor Xiping smiled and waved his hand: "Step back. If Shen Zhonghe is an assassin, there will be no loyal ministers in the world...cough cough cough."

Before he finished speaking, he started coughing again.

The Xiaohuangmen who were surrounding the dragon bed hurriedly gathered around him again, wearing robes, offering tea, and the Ouchi secret guards stepped forward and put their hands on his back vest to send him Qi.

After struggling for a while, Emperor Xiping finally regained his breath and waved his hand desolately: "Okay, please step back."

Shen Fa stepped forward and knelt down beside the dragon bed, looking at the emperor with round eyes and a slight trembling all over: "Your Majesty, weren't you fine a month ago? Why, how..."

Emperor Xiping did not answer his question, but looked directly at the sweet potato pot in his arms, and chuckled with interest: "Is this the sweet potato that the waiter in the shop keeps saying can save the poor people in the world from famine?"

Shen Fa quickly held up the potted sweet potato plant with both hands so that he could observe it closely: "Chen Zhenlong, a Fujian scholar who brought this plant back from Luzon Island, is outside the palace. He is willing to guarantee with his life that this potato can be harvested twice in one year, and the yield of spring potatoes per mu is Two thousand catties, one thousand catties of summer potatoes per mu... Your Majesty, this is an auspicious sign, a sign of good fortune, God bless me, the great Wei Dynasty!"

Emperor Xiping stretched out his hand to gently touch the green sweet potato leaves, and said with a faint smile: "This potato was brought back from Luzon Island by Chen Zhenlong, who risked his life. It was the waiter in the shop who worked hard to dig it up and brought it to me. How can it be auspicious and have nothing to do with heaven?" ?”

Shen Fa raised his head and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, under the world, is it the king's land, and on the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers? Lu Tinghou and Chen Zhenlong are both our subjects of the Wei Dynasty. If they can find this sacred object, How is it not auspicious? How is it not that God bless me?"

Emperor Xiping laughed: "You, you... cough cough cough..."

An Ouchi secret guard hurriedly stepped forward and put his hand on Emperor Xiping's back to calm his blood: "Your Majesty, don't be too excited, the dragon body is more important!"

Shen Fa knelt beside the dragon bed and wanted to check the emperor's pulse, but he didn't dare, so he could only say angrily: "Those people in the Taiyuan Hospital who only eat rice and wine from corpses should all die!"

After Emperor Xiping coughed for a long time, he managed to calm down his energy and blood. He expressionlessly waved to the many small yellow gates and the inner secret guards in the palace: "You guys, please step back..."

"His Majesty……"

"Back off!"

"yes……"

A group of Xiaohuangmen and Dauchei secret guards bowed and filed out of the palace, and closed the palace door again.

"After all, we underestimated these tigers, leopards and wolves..."

Emperor Xiping smiled and whispered: "The waiter in the shop asked you to give Wang Jiangling a message earlier, so that Wang Jiangling could figure it out. I also laughed at him as he got older and became less courageous. I never thought about it...cough cough cough …”

Shen Fa hurriedly stood up and helped him calm down his blood along the back of his vest. He whispered with trembling lips: "Your Majesty is saying, is saying..."

"Can't believe it?"

Emperor Xiping smiled and patted his tense arm, telling him to relax: "I can't believe that I can be plotted by others even in Ziwei Palace, but I was betrayed by them in Ziwei Palace." road……"

Shen Fa stood up suddenly, with red eyes and gritted his teeth and said: "I will seal the imperial hospital immediately, throw all the imperial doctors into the sky prison, and torture them severely!"

Emperor Xiping Feng Qingyun smiled calmly and said: "Since they dare to do it, they won't be afraid of you checking... for being careless!"

"When people pass by, they leave their names; when geese pass by, they leave their voices!"

Shen Fa clenched his back molars and squeezed each word out from between his teeth: "I don't believe they can do it perfectly!"

Emperor Xiping nodded and said: "Yes, of course they can't do it perfectly. They will only shut up the living people..."

Shen Fa was stunned on the spot.

Emperor Xiping: "How is the prince doing lately?"

Shen Fengran replied calmly: "Back to Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has recently been in charge of building the drainage channel of the road pavilion. Thousands of manpower and tens of thousands of materials are all handled by the Crown Prince. The project is busy, not chaotic, and well organized. I admire it very much. "

Emperor Xiping smiled and sighed sincerely: "Luting is safer than Ziwei Palace, and that guy is better at teaching than me."

When Shen Fa heard these words, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind: "It was last year when Yang Erlang and Duke Xin Guo went to Guangmingding together..."

Emperor Xiping raised his eyes: "Have you thought of it?"

Shen Fa slapped himself hard on the cheek with his backhand, knocking out a big bloody tooth: "I should have thought of it earlier, I should have thought of it earlier..."

Emperor Xiping sighed and shook his head slightly: "I don't blame you for this matter. No one expected that they would actually attack the east and west and drain the fire... I am destined to be like this, and I can't blame anyone."

Shen Fa suddenly raised his eyes and looked directly at Emperor Xiping with red eyes: "Your Majesty, do you just admit it like this?"

Emperor Xiping smiled and said: "I don't want to admit it, but what can I do if I don't?"

He raised his right hand with difficulty and handed it to Shen Fa.

Shen Fa swallowed hard and said, "I'm sorry for overstepping my bounds." He stepped forward and gently held his wrist with one hand, and carefully felt his pulse with three fingers.

Emperor Xiping allowed him to do whatever he wanted. He stared blankly at the top of the palace and whispered to himself: "I have often recalled the past when we wandered around the land of Heluo together. I recalled... Brother Qi Wang ...If he had won the big position back then, he would surely have done better than me, right?"

Shen Fa felt his pulse with one hand, and slowly made a fist with the other hand hidden under his big sleeve, and the nails of his four fingers were embedded into the flesh of the palm.

After a long time, he lowered his eyelids, gently put Emperor Xiping's arms back under the quilt, and responded in a soft but firm voice: "King Qi's temper is too violent and intolerable. If he controls the Extremely, our great Wei Dynasty will never have these seventeen years of peace!"

Emperor Xiping was startled, then laughed and said: "You, you... cough cough cough..."

Shen Fa silently helped him adjust his vest.

Emperor Xiping held his arm firmly with one hand and said in a deep voice while panting heavily: "I...I don't have much time left. There is not much I can do for my great Wei and the crown prince. I'm sorry...I can't bear it for a while." Please allow me to clean the throne and hand it over to him in a dignified manner!”

Shen Fa gently supported his trembling body, veins bursting out on the back of his hands: "Your Majesty, the imperial hospital is at a loss, but that does not mean that the people can't do anything. Even if the people have no way, there are also overseas countries. Yang Erlang once mentioned the Western medical skills overseas. , which is very different from the medical skills of our celestial dynasty, and they are all in their own way. We still have time and methods..."

"No, don't act rashly!"

The powerful Emperor Xiping held back his cough, and with a red face and bulging veins on his head, he growled: "Let them jump out and make trouble. Only when they make trouble can we have a chance to deal with them. If we do it now, they will...should sink again." We’re going down, don’t lose sight of things, the people… the people finally have some hope, don’t… don’t extinguish their hope!”

"Yang Erlang looks down on me, I want him to see that I have the heart to plan for the world!"

"Zhonghe, we really want to lead the yellow dog and ride the fast horse again, and chase the cunning rabbit..."

By the end of the story, he was so insane that he fainted on the dragon bed.

When Shen Fa saw this, he stood up in a hurry and shouted: "Someone is coming, someone is coming..."

"Bang!"

The palace door was knocked open, and the small yellow gate and the inner secret guards outside the door swarmed in. They rushed to the edge of the dragon bed and tried their best to save Emperor Xiping.

Shen Fa was squeezed into a corner by them, and he was tossing and turning over and over as if in a daze, muttering to himself: "I was fine a month ago, why is this happening... I was fine a moon ago, why is this happening... This is it..."
