Chapter 2304 Unexpected Disaster

The courtiers were also surprised. They did not expect that Emperor Jingyuan would agree to the second prince's request... Emperor Jingyuan only cared about his dead legitimate son, and the other princes were not sons at all in his eyes. To suddenly give the second prince face, could it be because he saw that he was getting older? , the eighth prince is young, so he wants to choose his successor from among the adult princes?

Emperor Jingyuan saw their reactions in his eyes and sneered in his heart. He didn't say anything more, but just made a decree: "From now on, all the royal relatives must eat a meal of cassava grains to calm the people's hearts and promote the prosperity of the people." Cassava is food!”

This decree made the imperial family all over the capital miserable, but it did play a big role in promoting cassava as food.

Even the princes and relatives eat cassava, why should the common people not eat it? Is there any reason for the courtiers not to reject it? !

It has to be said that as long as Emperor Jingyuan didn't go crazy, he was still very smart and easily solved the problem of cassava promotion.

He was very happy and said excitedly: "With this new food, Da Chu will surely be prosperous for generations to come!"

Oh, the ministers in the court, especially those from aristocratic families, sneered in their hearts, how could it last forever? It would be good if it could be passed down to the fourth generation.

However, the ministers still knelt down and congratulated Emperor Jingyuan: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, you are so happy to have new food to save the world!"

Emperor Jingyuan was happy to hear this, and taking advantage of his happiness, he made another decree: "The former head of the Imperial Medical Office, Dr. Wu, made a magical medicine to anthelminize, which was a meritorious service to the country. His grandson was pardoned. Min Shu, the son of the former rebel king, became a scholar and was reinstated." Give him his name, cut off his medicine, allow him to take the scientific examination and serve as an official, and serve the court loyally!"

As the son of a traitor to the king, Min Dong's family has been given medicine to prevent him from giving birth to a child. This time the medicine is stopped, which shows that he has really been forgiven.

Emperor Jingyuan would happily pardon him this time. First, Aunt Wu said that even if Min Shu was pardoned, she would stay in the palace and continue to serve the queen.

Second, Dr. Wu has indeed made great contributions, and he should not be rewarded if he does not do well.

The third is that Min Shu was demoted to a commoner twenty years ago, and all the rebels who rebelled against the king were killed long ago. His name was only restored, but his imperial surname was not restored. He was still adopted into the Min family. His heir posed no threat to Emperor Jingyuan's throne, so Emperor Jingyuan was happy to be a good person for once.

The ministers had no feeling about this matter, and they responded and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!"

But Aunt Wu and the Queen in the harem were very happy, and they both cried.

The queen also ordered the palace people: "Place the incense table, prepare sacrifices, thank God for Sheng Yan's kindness, and then pray for Sheng Yan, so that he will have no disasters in the future."

The Min Dong family's original name was Chu Shengyan, and they were truly descendants of the Chu royal family.

"Yes." The palace servants immediately got busy and quickly set up the incense table.

Aunt Wu knelt down and knelt down to thank Heaven. The Queen also offered a stick of incense herself, but there was no more celebration... I had just been pardoned, so I didn't want to be too public. I had to stay dormant first, so as not to offend others. He also wanted to use Sheng Yan as a raft.

but……

"Sheng Yan is not young, but does he have a girl he likes? Don't have any scruples. If you do, just tell her and I will grant him a marriage."

It's a pity that Sheng Yan was betrothed to a child and was the eldest niece of the Queen Mother's mother's family. However, when Sheng Yan was not a few years old, his grandfather and father had an affair. He was implicated and was imprisoned. He stayed in the county palace for several years.

Old doctor Wu and his senior brother, who was the owner of Yuanzi Medicine Store at that time, worked hard for several years before adopting the method of passing Sheng Yan to his senior brother, so that Sheng Yan could be exempted from house arrest and have the identity of the Min Dong family.

However, it was impossible for the eldest grandniece of the Queen Mother's family to marry a commoner. The engagement was cancelled, and the girl married someone else.

Fortunately, the Min Dong family didn't have deep feelings for her and didn't suffer too much. However, the Min Dong family was indeed very old. If there was a girl he liked, he had to marry her quickly and not delay any longer.

Aunt Wu also wanted her son to be happy for the rest of his life, so she said: "Thank you very much for your love, the Queen... I will send him a letter and ask about it."

Queen: "Without further delay, write a letter now and I will have it delivered."

Min Dong's family also met the Queen when he was a child. He had suffered for many years. The Queen sincerely wished him well. She dragged Aunt Wu to go to the palace to write a letter, but she was in poor health. After working for so long, her vision went dark and she almost fell down. Fortunately, She hurriedly bit her tongue and woke up from the pain.

She couldn't faint, if she fell ill just after Sheng Yan was pardoned... He would definitely get angry at Sheng Yan, and Sheng Yan would suffer again.

"Queen, please don't move. Let me rub the acupoints." Aunt Wu was so frightened that she quickly rubbed a few acupuncture points for the queen. After a quarter of an hour, the queen finally recovered.

The palace people were also frightened. They took out soft chairs and waited nearby. When they saw that the queen was fine, they finally came to life.

The queen smiled when she saw this: "Don't worry, I will live until the end and will not let you die a happy death."

If something happens to her, her mother's family, the palace servants who serve her, and the palace servant's family will all be buried with her. She has no hope in this life, and she doesn't want the people who serve her to have no hope either.

After hearing this, the palace people were relieved and sad at the same time. They looked at the skinny queen and choked up: "The queen is blessed with great blessings, and the good days are still to come."

Deep blessing?

The queen laughed when she heard this and didn't say anything. She was helped onto a soft chair and carried back to the palace by the palace servants. After a good sleep, she was given a banquet in her palace with the palace servants. They had a banquet to celebrate the pardon of Min Dong's family.

The Queen did this because she knew Emperor Jingyuan would definitely ask.

Sure enough, when Emperor Jingyuan learned that the queen was so happy that she held a banquet to celebrate, Long Yan was overjoyed and said to the Qin Chief Supervisor: "It's rare that the queen is interested. Please send the jade plate fruit from the south as a tribute to the queen quickly to add some sweetness to the queen."

The jade plate fruit is mangosteen, which is called jade plate fruit by Dachu because the inside is as white as a jade plate.

Supervisor Qin said happily: "Yes, I will do it myself."

But Eunuch Qin didn't take a few steps when he was stopped by Emperor Jingyuan again: "Forget it, there's no need to send it away!"

this?

"Yes." Superintendent Qin turned back and continued to serve Emperor Jingyuan in the Mingwei Hall to review the memorial.

But because of this incident, Emperor Jingyuan's temper became violent. He grabbed a document and threw it at Gu Jinan: "What are you writing? Even if you don't write the words well, take it and rewrite it!"

Gu Jinan suffered an unreasonable disaster, but he was used to it. He quickly said yes, got up, picked up the document on the ground, and copied it again according to it.

However, Emperor Jingyuan's anger did not end there. A few days later, new good news came from Du Neijian and Qi Yi, saying that each village was willing to try cassava.

Emperor Jingyuan was happy to see it, but soon he became angry: "Bold Qi Yi, you dare to ask me just after you have made some achievements, you bastard!"

There was no other reason, but Qi Yi also sent a letter. The letter said that if Emperor Jingyuan wanted to reward Gu Jinli, he would make her the Lady of the Qing Dynasty and canonize her according to ancient rituals without using the name of the imperial dynasty.

Mrs. Qingshi?

Is this because he thought that Chu would die and was afraid of harming the Gu family, so he asked the Gu family to be given the title of Madam of the Qing Dynasty?

Be bold, be bold!

Emperor Jingyuan was furious, but Qi Yi said that Gu Jinli had made great contributions that would benefit future generations, and she should be given a reward beyond the one-time reward.
