Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 391;

"Really?"

Wu Jun looked at Lu Yaoyao in shock.

This hot pot has already shocked him to heaven, but King Jin said that it was a little bit less interesting, so how delicious will the hot pot made by Wanfu County Master be?
I didn't realize that Wu Jun is also a foodie.

But think about it, in the face of delicious food, most people will not have any physical resistance.

"Prince Jin is too exaggerated. In fact, the hot pot at Baizhenlou is also very good."

"It's just because the ingredients are not as rich as what the prince ate last time, so you feel that the taste is not as good."

King Jin thought for a while with a smile, but he didn't refute, but he still felt that the one he ate at Lu Yaoyao Villa was the best.

After a hot pot meal, Wu Jun also let go slowly, and he also laughed with King Jin.

His literary talent is not bad, and he is also a young man. When he was in Jiangdong, he often recited poems and composed Fu with his friends, playing some elegant things.

And Jin Wang was also a frequent visitor on this road at the beginning, so it is natural to have a lot of common topics when communicating.

After finishing the meal, Lu Yaoyao didn't stay in the capital for long, and went to the Lu's house with Lu Mingxi to visit the old man, and then returned to Chengyuan Villa alone.

And Wu Jun went to the palace with King Jin.

King Jin's mansion is indeed not small, and King Jin asked his servants to tidy up a nice courtyard for Wu Jun.

"Thank you, my lord, for taking me in."

"Don't talk about that, since you are the princess's friend, you are the king's friend, so stay here with peace of mind."

"If you need anything, just talk to the servant."

King Jin waved his hand very accommodatingly.

"Brother Wu, rest first, the king still has some official duties."

Wu Jun hastily cupped his hands.

Leaving Wu Jun's courtyard, King Jin returned directly to the main courtyard, and after a while, Yan Yi, who replaced Yan San and followed him, came in from the outside.

"Check it out?"

"Yes."

Yan Yi immediately explained everything about Wu Jun that he had investigated in detail.

When he heard that Wu Jun came to the capital because of the Han family, and that Wu Jun was almost engaged to Lu Mingxi, he frowned slightly.

Some doubts were instantly cleared up.

No wonder the people from the Lu family didn't help arrange Wu Jun, but Lu Yaoyao came out to arrange it himself.

Presumably Lu Mingxi personally went to ask Lu Yaoyao for help.

But thinking that Wu Jun had entanglements with the Han family, he frowned a little.

"Since he was brought to the capital by the Han family, why didn't the Han family make arrangements for him?"

Yan Yi immediately told what he had heard.

Suddenly, King Jin relaxed his frown.

"Then what is the Lu family's attitude towards him?"

"The Lu family is very satisfied with him. I heard that they also planned to help, but Wu Jun rejected him. I guess Wu Jun doesn't want to rely too much on the Lu family."

"It turned out that Wu Jun planned to leave the capital, but I heard that Miss Lu tried her best to persuade her to stay and asked the princess for help, so he stayed."

"Well, the king knows."

King Jin nodded and continued; "Arrange two people to watch Wu Jun secretly. Don't worry about other things. If he has any contact with the Han family, I will know everything about it."

"Yes."

Yan bowed her hands and retreated.

Another few days passed, and a major event happened in the court this day.

At the beginning of the morning court, Wen Songtao brought up the matter of continuing food relief for the snowstorm in the north.

Emperor Hongwen immediately ordered the Ministry of Households to release grain for disaster relief. As a result, the Minister of the Ministry of Households stood up bitterly and said that the country has insufficient grain in stock and cannot provide disaster relief.

A group of monarchs and ministers discussed how to obtain food.

However, the result is needless to say, most of the court officials are officials from aristocratic families, and they knew about the snowstorm in the north and the lack of food in the treasury early on.

They lost once before, but this time they must win back a victory, so the suggestions they put forward are almost all words of mouth.

It has no practical effect at all.

When everyone was discussing without a clue, Dong Xiang suddenly stood up and said that the Dong family was willing to donate some food to help the victims in the north.

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar, no matter whether they were officials from the aristocratic family or not, they all looked at Xiang Dong in surprise at this moment.

I don't understand why he came out like this all of a sudden.

In the end, before they figured it out, Emperor Hongwen on the dragon chair was overjoyed, and praised Dong Xiang and Dong Jia Gaoyi very emotionally.

And on the spot, an order was made to erect a monument of merit and virtue beside the gate of the palace to record the contribution the Dong family made to the country this time.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Your Majesty, the old minister also has some surplus food at home this year, and is willing to donate [-] shi to help the disaster victims in the north."

As soon as Zhen Guogong spoke, the generals under him stood up and said, ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand.

Although there are not many, they are all for nothing. Emperor Hongwen praised them again and again, and said that they would write their names one by one on the merit tablet for future generations to look up to.

In this way, Lord Zhen Guo said again that since he wanted to erect a stele, he couldn't donate less, and took out another [-] shi, and made up [-] shi.

Hearing what he said, those generals also thought to themselves, this thing needs to be recorded on a monument, and this must be donated less.

The lack of donations was recorded, and the common people may say something after seeing it.

What's more, what would His Majesty think when he saw it, and each of them began to increase the number of donations.

After the general's movement here, Wen Songtao, the right minister, should naturally stand up.

Don't look at him as the right minister now, but everyone in Dongzhou knows that Wen Songtao used to be a poor scholar with no background.

That is to say, I have accumulated some background in the past ten years, and the family's land property is really not as good as some ordinary nobles.

But even so, Wen Songtao still donated [-] shi of grain.

With him taking the lead, those civil servants could no longer pretend to be dumb, staring at Emperor Hongwen, and they all stood up to express their donations.

The least is not less than [-] shi.

Just in the court hall, he got a lot of food, which made Emperor Hongwen very happy, and he didn't want to throw down the words of praise like money.

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs who was hit below was flustered for a while, and he didn't even have time to think about some twists and turns in this matter.

After the end of the early dynasty, the news that the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs donated food to the disaster victims in the north spread throughout the capital.

The common people who heard the news praised the ministers Gao Yi one after another.

And amidst these praises, a question popped up suddenly.

"I don't know what will happen to those families this time?"

As soon as this question came out, everyone started to discuss it.

Some people think that the aristocratic families are a bunch of bad things who have no conscience and only search for the blood and sweat of the people. They think that they will burn incense without making money for the country, and it is impossible to ask them to donate.

Another group of people felt that although the aristocratic family was hateful, they were very likely to donate, and they even cited Dong Xiang's donation of [-] shi as an example.

There were more and more discussions, and the aristocratic family was caught off guard.

At this moment, some people also realized that they were put together by Emperor Hongwen in today's matter.
