Chapter 184: Fart

Xi Xinheng and Liang Mingcheng walked over in a hurry.

If the Emperor hadn’t been here at this moment, they would all have wanted to take their bastard son home and beat him up.

The two of them first saluted the emperor and said: “This minister greets his Majesty!”

The Emperor was in a good mood now, so he simply raised his hand: “You two are excused.”

He asked with a smile: “What are you doing in the palace?”

Xi Xinheng smiled and replied: “This minister heard that Xi Rui, who was careless, suddenly ran to the palace. I was afraid that he would make some joke, so I went into the palace to take him back.”

Liang Mingcheng also said: “The same is true for me.”

Xi Rui said speechlessly: “Father, I told you that I am here to do important business. Why do you have to worry?”

Xi Xinheng wanted to block his son’s mouth with a piece of paper, but he could only glare at him: “Shut up.”

Xi Rui said with an innocent look on his face: “Father, you are so unreasonable.”

Xi Xinheng’s legs almost soften in anger: “You, when we go back, I’ll clean you up.”

As soon as Xi Rui saw his father like this, he knew that going home would be miserable.

Then he looked at the Emperor pitifully and said, “Your Majesty, please tell my father that I came to the palace today to do an important business, otherwise he will beat me when we go back.”

The Empress Dowager liked him very much, the Emperor was always kind to him, so he was not afraid.

Xi Xinheng wanted to slap this bastard and send him home.

Just as he was about to speak, the Emperor looked at him with a smile and said, “Well, today, he did come into the palace to do important business.”

“If he doesn’t come into the palace, I will send someone to call him.”

Xi Xinheng was stunned for a moment: “Your Majesty, what can this kid do?”

Xi Rui curled his lips and whispered: “Why can’t I do business?”

Then he received a warning look from his father, and then he shut up in an aggrieved tone.

The Emperor still liked people like Xi Rui who were straightforward and not very scheming.

“Nanxi County has produced a kind of God-given seed with a yield of 1,000 kilograms per acre. Several of them saw the harvest with their own eyes and even tasted it first.”

“This time they followed Mo Qingling and returned to the capital to donate seeds together.”

“So you don’t have to blame him.”

Xi Rui immediately said: “Yes, we are here to donate seeds.”

Xi Xinheng was shocked he didn’t expect such a thing.

He couldn’t help but ask: “Your Majesty, are you sure that the God-given seeds can be eaten and the yield per acre can be a thousand catties?”

The Emperor nodded: “Yes, it’s confirmed.”

“I am preparing to ask the ministers of the fourth rank and above to enter the palace. I want to invite everyone to have a taste of this God-given food.”

Originally, he didn’t want to make this matter to be so high profile, but who let the rumors fly all over the sky recently?

And it can produce a thousand catties per acre. As long as it is planted in the beams in the next few years, the people can have enough to eat, which is beneficial to the country and the people.

Xi Xinheng smiled and said: “Then, this minister entered the palace at the right time.”

He felt relieved, fortunately, his bastard son made no mistake.

By chance, he even got into the seed donation team. Judging from the Emperor’s expression, he would reward them to some extent.

He was the emperor’s cousin, but because of this, their family has kept a low profile since the Emperor ascended the throne.

His father also handed over their military power.

This earned the Emperor’s trust more firmly.

It was related to the prosperity and decline of the family, so they must think twice before taking every step.

Liang Mingcheng also didn’t expect that his son would do something good instead of causing trouble.

He agreed with a smile, “Then this minister also took advantage of it.”

Then the group followed the Emperor to the main hall where the court meeting was usually being held.

The ministers who were notified quickly rushed to the palace one after another, including Xiao Yuanshi.

When everyone was almost there, the Emperor asked the palace attendants to bring food made from corn flour.

“This is the God-given high-quality corn presented by Nanxi County. Not only can it be used as food, but it can also produce a thousand catties per acre.”

He paused and said: “These are steamed buns and bread made from corn flour. Come and try them.”

The Emperor’s words were like thunder, which shocked the ministers.

They have never heard of the fact that an acre can produce a thousand catties of grain.

If it was true, it would be a good thing for the country and the people.

Especially recently, they also know the rumors outside, and many ministers were worried.

After all, they were the Emperor’s courtiers, and most of them initially supported the Emperor.

If the Emperor was pulled down, they would be done for.

So everyone smiled excitedly: “That’s great.”

Some old ministers didn’t believe it and asked, “Your Majesty, are you sure the yield per mu will be 1,000 catties?”

The Emperor replied: “It is indeed true. Not only was the Magistrate of Nanxi County, Mo Qingling personally supervised the harvest, but Xi Rui, Liang Youxiao, and Fei Yuzhe were also there.”

“They can prove that the more than a thousand kilograms of corn sent to the capital came from one acre of land.”

The people present were shocked again, why were these young dandies also involved?

Seeing the ministers in the court looking at each other one after another, Xi Rui and the other two men straightened their chests, with a rare serious look on their faces.

Xi Rui said: “We all saw it with our own eyes, and we were the first to taste it to see if it was edible.”

Fei Yuzhe said: “Yes, this is a good thing that can give benefits to the country and the people. How dare we deceive His Majesty.”

Liang Youxiao’s thoughts were different: “At that time, there were people from Nanxi County and also many people who went to the Taoist Temple to offer incense. They saw it with their own eyes. It can withstand the investigation.”

He bowed to the Emperor more respectfully, and said with reverence: “This is all His Majesty’s blessing that we can have such God-given seeds!”

Liang Mingcheng was stunned as he listened to his son’s fart.

So it turned out that this bastard was not only good at coaxing the old lady and others in the backyard, but he was also so good at talking in the court?

Xi Rui and Fei Yuzhe were not stupid either. They reacted immediately and secretly cursed this guy for being shameless.

Then, without hesitation, they shamelessly follow the trend.

“Yes, this is a fine seed specially given by the Old Immortal Priest for His Majesty. We can prove it.”

“At that time, the Old Immortal Priest appeared, and I saw it with my own eyes.”

“The golden light flashed, and the Old Immortal Priest’s spirit appeared to indicate that the good seeds can be harvested. It’s all because His Majesty is the rightful heir to the throne. He cares about his people, so God is grateful, he specially sent the Old Immortal Priest to give the seeds.”

“That’s right, the wind and clouds were raging, and the sky was changing dramatically when the Old Immortal Priest appeared…”

“Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings and is the first Emperor in history to be blessed with fine seeds from heaven…”

They have read the script of “Cultivation of Immortality”, and several people have compiled it into a complete set.

They learned how to flatter the dragon with nice words for free.

Hearing those words, the ministers present were stunned. Is this true or false? How could it be so miraculous?

Xi Xinheng and Liang Mingcheng immediately wanted to dig a hole in the ground and bury themselves in.

The more these bastards talk, the more they make no sense, and their faces turned red as they smack the dragon’s fart.

Hearing these words, the Emperor’s face showed a smile.

Although these dandies usually don’t do serious business, their words were very pleasant to hear.

As Mo Qingling listened, he found the topic started to go astray. He immediately stepped forward and took out an envelope from his arms.

“Your Majesty, these are the last words left by the Old Immortal Priest.”

“He predicted that His Majesty would be the rightful heir to the throne more than 10 years ago.”

“So before he ascended to heaven, he left the corn seeds and told his apprentice Shi Qingluo to plant them in July this year, harvest them in October, and donate them to His Majesty!”
