Shocked! The emperor actually openly seized the minister's land!

[Tsk tsk, it turns out that Magistrate Zhang's ancestor was also rich. He was the king of Qi during the Seven Kingdoms. ]

[No, what kind of weird king is this? You have all kinds of land as a king, but you actually seized the minister's garden to raise pigs? ! ]

[The flowers have just been planted! They were directly eaten by pigs! ! ! ]

Beijing officials: Hahaha hiccups -

how could there be such an emperor!

How could there be such a wicked minister!

This may be the only emperor in history who seized the minister's garden to raise pigs and the minister whose garden was seized to raise pigs!

Historians: Write quickly.jpg

Former Magistrate Zhang decided to break the deadlock.

Although he has retired, his descendants will still pursue a career in the government. Allowing himself to be alienated by the central government would be tantamount to self-destruction.

How can he break the impasse...

Prefect Zhang looked left and right, and his eyes were fixed on Xu Yanmiao.

Although he had never seen Xu Yanmiao, he had faintly heard that the emperor crowned his young minister. And this minister was also easy to recognize, the young one with the most outstanding appearance! It was

such an unprecedented honor for the emperor to make an exception and crown his minister. I think other officials would have to respect him!

Is there anything easier to return to the capital circle than to please the favored ministers!

Prefect Zhang picked up a glass of wine and walked over with a smile.

When he approached, he heard the young favorite said to the official beside him in a very embarrassed tone: "Master Liang, don't make fun of me. I am not a well-informed person. I just like to talk to merchants in the market and I accidentally knew about this."

Prefect Zhang stopped subconsciously and raised his ears to listen.

He heard the other party say: "I heard that there is a tree called lemon tree overseas. The tree will be full of light yellow fruits, like a little sun, so I am very curious."

Prefect Zhang was immediately overjoyed. He remembered this tree. He had it planted in his back garden! He bought it from foreign merchants. It was rare!

＊

Xu Yanmiao was trying to ask the well-informed Liang about lemon trees, when she suddenly heard a voice with a smile beside her: "I have seen this thing before. It blooms all year round and bears fruit in spring, summer and autumn?"

Xu Yanmiao looked at the visitor with a business smile.

[I don't know either, I only know the lemons in the fruit plate.]

But she still said: "That should be it. Have you seen it?"

Zhang Qian, the prefect, smiled and said: "The flesh tastes very sour, and the shape is not as round as the sun, but rather similar to a pear."

Xu Yanmiao: "!!!!"

[Lemon!]

[It must be a lemon!]

[From now on, I will have lemonade, lemon chicken feet, and lemon chicken wings! Wuhu! 】

Zhang Qian, the former prefect, noticed that the emperor's favorite seemed to like the tree very much, and immediately said, "I wonder if the capital can grow it. I will bring a few pots of saplings to the capital in the future. If they can be grown, I will send a few trees to you."

Xu Yanmiao smiled and said, "Thank you."

【But no need, isn't this accepting bribes? When the historian impeaches you for seizing the people's land, and you lose money and land, and you may go to jail, I will come to buy lemon trees... a reasonable and legal opportunity to pick up bargains! 】It

was a rare opportunity for a college student to be humiliated.

Lian Hang, who was sitting next to him, quickly lowered his head.

Hold it in! Can't laugh! It's too abrupt to laugh now!

Prefect Zhang's eyes lit up, and he continued: "I think you are also a person who loves plants and trees."

Xu Yanmiao smiled politely.

[Actually, not really. I mainly love lemonade, lemon chicken feet, and lemon chicken wings.]

Prefect Zhang: "Do you like peonies?"

"Peony..."

[There are many lovely flowers on land and water. Jin... Wait, there is no need to take the college entrance examination. Why am I still so conditioned?]

[Sin, sin, forget it! I want to enjoy the happiness of lying down and being a salted fish!]

Other officials: Hey, what is the college entrance examination?

Xu Yanmiao continued to smile politely: "Peony is the national fragrance, so I naturally like it."

Zhang Qian, the former governor, also smiled, and said in a gentle and sincere tone: "I am a little abrupt. I heard that you also like flowers and plants, and I was very happy. It is said that in the vast sea of ​​people, it is difficult to find a soulmate. If I can attend the flower show with you and enjoy the peonies, wouldn't it be a great pleasure in life? If you don't give up, I wonder if you can make my long-cherished wish come true, and we can travel together on April 5th, talk freely, and enjoy the beauty of peonies together?"

He added: "I have a double-headed peony, which I will send to the capital for the meeting."

Xu Yanmiao continued to smile politely: "If there is a chance, I really want to see this double-headed peony."

[I have no interest in double-headed peonies. I prefer double-yellow salted duck eggs.]

"Puff--"

The deputy commander of the Central Military Governor could not help but burst into laughter.

He immediately lowered his head and ate a mouthful of hot tofu, pretending that nothing had happened. The retired official beside him asked calmly: "What happy thing did you see?"

The deputy commander of the Central Military Governor said casually: "Oh, I remembered the play just now, and I was amused by the lyrics."

Retired official: "?"

But the play just now was a complete tragedy!

*

Zhang Qian, the former governor, naturally felt Xu Yanmiao's courtesy, but this made him feel at ease.

If the favored minister could be approached as soon as he approached, he would still suspect fraud.

Just continue to please him.

"Since you like exotic green plants, have you ever heard of a flower that produces melons when it falls? Unfortunately, the melons are extremely bitter and inedible, but the bitterest melons are actually produced from the most beautiful flowers, which are very pleasing to the eye and pink-yellow in color..."

Xu Yanmiao, who was at the back, didn't really listen. Her eyes lit up.

[Bitter melon! ]

[Bitter melon brew! Bitter melon omelette! Bitter melon chicken soup! Bitter melon coconut milk! ]

"There is another kind of green plant, which is very interesting. I heard from the Hu people that it is called 'stink bug'. Before it matures, the smell of its stems and leaves is like the smell of insects, but when it matures, it smells like fennel."

[Coriander!]

Xu Yanmiao happened to know this knowledge. He couldn't find cilantro when he was making hot pot seasoning before. It turned out that it had not been introduced yet--

[No! It turned out that it had been introduced a long time ago, but it has always been planted in other people's private gardens and has not spread at all! ]

[Disgusting! ]

[How can we eat hot pot without cilantro! These people are despicable! Do you think that cilantro looks like an ornamental green plant! ]

"There is a tree in the garden, and its..."

[Wow! ]

[There is actually a Sal tree! The seeds of this thing seem to be able to cure some disease? 】

"There is another tree in another courtyard, and its..."

【Coconut? ? ? 】

【Great! We will have coconut milk to drink in the future! 】

Former Prefect Zhang carefully observed Xu Yanmiao's expression, and he could clearly feel that the other party was getting more serious and happier the more he listened.

Former Prefect Zhang smiled slightly.

Other Beijing officials: "..."

Just by looking at the expression on this person's face, they knew that he must feel that he was very successful in catering to the preferences of the other

party. ——It was indeed very successful, and they all wanted to see many rare green plants. But Xiao Bai Ze... well... he likes to eat more.

Ahem.

Former Prefect Zhang sat down while he was talking.

After talking for a long time, someone also sat down next to him.

Prefect Zhang Qian was halfway through his speech when he had to turn around - the other person was too close: "Excuse me, this person?"

The man who squeezed next to him was dressed in civilian clothes, tall and strong, holding a potato with its skin peeled off.

He smiled warmly: "I think your garden is quite nice."

Xu Yanmiao's eyes widened.

Liang Rui's hand trembled, and the piece of jellyfish skin he picked up with chopsticks fell on the table with a "pop".

Lian Hang turned his head to look at the plaque with white characters on the wall, as if the couplet written on it was eternal.

Among the other seats, there were coughs, the sound of falling food, and the sound of water spraying.

Prefect Zhang looked at him: "Who are you?"

The man laughed heartily: "Haha, my name is Gao Tiezhu. I followed my master in to have a free meal."

So Prefect Zhang suppressed his awkward smile, frowned, and did not answer.

The other party continued to ask very familiarly: "Are those strange plants you mentioned really in your garden?"

Prefect Zhang had a blank expression: "Of course." Xu

Yanmiao: "..."

[Old Emperor, you are not interested in your minister... No, your former minister's garden, are you? ]

[Although I haven't seen you many times, and I can't even recognize you now, but you can't do this. ]

Other officials in Beijing covered their faces silently.

Your Majesty, can you have some shame!

The old emperor said in a deafening voice: "Come to think of it, you have a lot of overseas plants in your garden. So other officials should have the same amount, right?" Other officials

: "???"

Wait, what do you want to do? !

The old emperor: Nothing, I just want to take your garden and give it to my Gao family to raise pigs.

"Pa——"
