I Own a Garden with One Hundred Herbs

Chapter 239 The Empress Dowager Supports Zhe Yu

The officials rose up and condemned Song Guo.

Ying Zheming has been silent all the time, with a feeling of "watching his layout, watching him solve the game, watching him thrive".

"Since that's the case, take a look at the matter of trade..." Emperor Yanwu asked.

Zhe Yu listed, "Your Majesty, the benefit of the trade and peace talks lies in Dayan, and justice also lies in Dayan, so we can talk about it. In the future, in the business and trade, if Song Guo betrayed his promise, it would be justifiable for Dayan to send troops again."

When he played against Pei Yuanxian, he had already seen this step. Bei Rong dared to dispatch so many troops, the military supplies must be provided by Song Guo. Since Song Guo has a lot of money, he should spend it well.

At this time, a voice suddenly came from outside the store: "The Queen Mother is here!"

Da Yan has the law of Yan, and the harem is strictly prohibited from intervening in politics, and the queen mother has no way of intervening in the government. Why are you here today?

Emperor Yanwu and his ministers greeted the Queen Mother.

Leaning on her crested cane, supported by the Eldest Princess Ying Zhezhe, the Empress Dowager walked in majestically. She was blind, but couldn't see anything. Arriving at the venue, he tapped the gold bricks of the Tianyuan Hall with his crutches, "I heard from Aijia that you gang bullied Aijia's grandson."

As soon as these words came out, the officials were shocked.

Where did the grandchildren start? Although everyone knew that Zhe Yu had a face similar to that of the fifth prince, but the emperor never made it clear, and everyone happily pretended to be stupid.

"The Ai family has already recognized Zhe Yu as their grandson. If any of you bully him, you must first ask the Ai family if they agree?" The blind old lady went straight to Zhe Yu.

Zhe Yu kowtowed to the ground and called out, "Grandmother, the Empress Dowager."

Zhongshu ordered Cui Ce to explain, "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty summoned all the ministers to discuss the matter of Beirong, just discussing the matter as it stands. And Your Majesty has always been clear about rewards and punishments..."

Before he could finish his words, the Queen Mother paused her crutches again, "Is it clear? I think Zhe Yu has made great contributions, and he is still in vain. There is no reward for the case of Wanzhou, and there is no reward for the peace talks. Strategize and retreat to the North." Rong is not rewarded. The Ai family respects the laws of the country and does not interfere with state affairs, but the monarch always has to set an example. Back then, the fifth prince proposed that the prosperity of the country depends on talents, and you praised them. Why do you turn a blind eye to talents now? Today, the Ai family is generous. Face, ask His Majesty for a reward."

Finally, the fifth prince was mentioned, the existence like a fish bone in everyone's voice.

When the Fifth Prince proposed that talents should prosper the country, did he expect that today, a person who looks exactly like him would be the beneficiary?

Emperor Yanwu frowned, and soon opened it again, "Mother, it's not that the son doesn't want to reward, but he wants to wait until the next year. Zhe Yu was temporarily acting as the young minister of Dali Temple. I think this position is suitable for him."

It is quite a reward to directly enter Dali Temple.

But Zhe Yu lifted up his robe and knelt down, "Queen Dowager, Your Majesty, Zhe Yu is still a teacher of Kunming Academy, and he is valued and trusted by the dean. He was ordered to preside over the construction of the academy's agricultural and mulberry medical care base. Conditions, but also to make a small contribution to the academy's extensive recruitment of talents. This matter cannot be completed in a short time, and Zhe Yu has yet to return to Wanzhou. As for the position of the young minister of Dali Temple, please Your Majesty choose another talented person."

On the one hand is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and on the other is the teacher of the academy and the person in charge of some illusory base, anyone can see which is more important. Most people will choose the former.

But Zhe Yu didn't, he chose what his heart yearned for.

Taifu Shen stroked his beard, and Huimang flashed by. This is a subtle and high-level move. If it is done well, the students of Kunming Academy in the future will all regard him as their teacher. Amazing!

Ying Zhezhe let go of the Queen Mother's hand, and asked Emperor Yanwu for orders, "Father, I think brother Zhe Yu is very good. He does not covet high officials and rich salary, and he wholeheartedly establishes life for the people and brings peace to all generations. Such a person is worthy of respect." and rewards."

The queen mother agreed with this statement, "Your Majesty, Zheyu's heart is in Wanzhou, so you can send him back to Wanzhou. It's not that Wanzhou doesn't have an official title to give him. At least he can fully display his talent."

As soon as these words came out, the officials were even more shocked.

Just because Wanzhou is good, Wanzhou is the richest city in Dayan. Although the capital of Dayan Kingdom is in Yanjing, it is undeniable that the economic center has always been in Wanzhou. Officials in Wanzhou, if they take out any one at random, they are all very rich.

Emperor Yanwu remembered the old Jijiu's letter to open a new subject in Kunming Academy, but he kept holding back and didn't respond. After hearing about this agricultural and mulberry medical care base today, the medical treatment is of course extremely important. "So, how about you, go back to Wanzhou after the Lantern Festival. The prefect of Wanzhou is vacant now, so let the old Jijiu take over. As for you, work under him and take up the post of co-prefect. Go back to take up the post after the Lantern Festival."

What is the status of Tongzhi in Dayan? It is equivalent to preparing to know the state.

Emperor Yanwu's reward was not low.

Zhe Yu kowtowed to thank the emperor for his kindness.

The officials thought to themselves that a new star in the future court is slowly rising.

But there are also people who are happy from the heart, that is King Xun Ying Zhexun. After all, he had received the grace of Baicaoshi's cure, and recommended Zhe Yu. Now he and Zhe Yu are probably in the same vein in the hearts of many people.

As for Zhe Yu, his back was as straight as a gun, and his eyes were not surprised.

**

At the end of the court meeting, the queen mother asked Zhe Yu to go to his place for snacks.

"Queen..." Zhe Yu thought of Baicao Poetry.

"Grandmother," interrupted the Queen Mother.

Zhe Yu smiled lightly, and took out a book of medicinal diet from his bosom, "Grandmother, Zhe Yu's wife, Shi Shi, also entered the palace today. She is a medical girl and has a lot of experience in some medicinal diets. Zhe Yu was weak at the time, thanks to She took care of it all by herself. According to her dictation, Zhe Yu wrote down a book of medicinal recipes, and wanted to be filial to the Empress Dowager's grandmother for Zhe Yu. If possible, she can also learn from the imperial chef of Changle Palace."

Ying Zhezhe took the medicated recipe and looked carefully at the words on it, but it was different from what he imagined, and he became suspicious. "Brother Zheyu's handwriting is really well written, and you have a heart."

"Thank you, princess."

Ying Zhezhe smiled brightly, "You call the queen mother your grandmother, you should change your name to me, and call me sister. Anyway, I have a younger brother who looks like you, so I can be regarded as a person who thinks of others .”

Ying Zhezhe's biological mother died young and was fostered under the queen mother. The younger brother who looks like him is naturally the fifth prince who is also fostered under the queen mother.

"Is your daughter-in-law still in Fusi Palace? I'll send someone to pick her up." The Queen Mother said with a smile. At that moment, she didn't seem to be a noble queen mother of a country, but just a kind grandma.

Baicaoshi went to Changle Palace and got a huge kitchen, which was bigger than the one in Dongli Villa. She made a table of health-preserving medicinal meals in one go.

The queen mother asked Ying Zhezhe, Zhe Yu, and Baicaoshi to eat together.

Ying Zhezhe gave her no food, the queen mother always tasted it before guessing.

"Is this winter bamboo shoots? It tastes very delicious, and it seems to have the taste of duck, but the taste of this duck is completely different from the one made by the imperial chef." The Queen Mother's tongue is very flexible, and she can taste them one by one.

Baicaoshi laughed and said: "I returned to the Queen Mother, and I also added sand ginseng and Polygonatum odoratum to it. These two herbs belong to the lung and stomach meridian. They can nourish yin and moisten dryness. They also have a certain effect on daily dry throat and thirst."

Okay, okay, the queen mother picked up another piece of meat and chewed it carefully, "Is this mutton? The taste is also different."

"I added ginger and angelica to this mutton soup, which is the best way to warm the middle and tonify the deficiency, drive away the cold and relieve pain." Baicaoshi acted as the narrator, but in fact, these were more for the queen mother's royal cook. They have mastered the essentials and can do it for the Queen Mother in the future.

The Queen Mother ate very well, especially when it came to Poria cakes, she wanted to eat more after one.

"Queen, don't eat too much." Ying Zhezhe persuaded, everything is too much. "I haven't seen you eat too much before."

The queen mother patted Baicaoshi's hand next to her, and she was very pleased, "Shishi, you are a good cook, Zheyu, I am blessed to marry you. Unfortunately, I can't see it. She must be a very beautiful girl."

Zhe Yu, who had been eating quietly the whole time, answered, "Grandma, the Empress Dowager, Shi Shi is indeed the most beautiful in Zhe Yu's heart."

Ying Zhezhe looked at Zheyu again. The former fifth prince would never say such words. How could such a noble person be tempted by a commoner girl?

Baicaoshi put down the bowls and chopsticks, and solemnly blessed the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, Shishi has a little knowledge of the art of Qi and Huang, so it's better to feel the pulse of the Queen Mother."

The queen mother didn't take it too seriously, after all, even the hospital couldn't cure her.

Ying Zhezhe thought of something, and his eyes lit up, "Queen Mother, let Shishi take a look. If the imperial hospital can't cure it, Shishi may not be able to. Concubine Si gave birth to the prince safely, and the son of Zhongshuling's family also entrusted her with it." Thanks to her, the poison of the scorpion can be cured, maybe it can be cured."
