Chapter 239 The doubts of the hundred knights

The more than 3,000 corn in the Corn Supervisor grew well, and it was the time to grow ears. According to Li Xiao's requirements, the Kunlun slaves only retained two ears of corn per corn, and even only retained one ear in those few mountainous lands, slopes, saline-alkali lands with poor fertility.

The tender ears from the petals were treated as specialties of the corn prison according to Li Xiao's request. They gave some to the various yamen in the capital, and specially offered some to the palace.

Li Xiao even gave corn bamboo shoots, and even asked the prison to attach a cooking guide for corn bamboo shoots.

The imperial chef followed this guide and prepared several dishes with fresh corn bamboo shoots.

Now the imperial chefs in the palace know that the emperor likes to eat stir-fry, and the stir-fry comes from the corn supervisor Li Xiao. The imperial kitchen now admires Li Xiao very much and can satisfy the emperor's stomach, but there are not many. The imperial kitchen has long been equipped with iron pots for stir-frying, as well as cabbage seed oil, camellia oil, soybean oil, etc., and even cooking wine, soy sauce, bean paste, chili noodles, etc. specially purchased from Lanxi Lizhuang, in order to ensure that the emperor can drink an authentic stir-frying at any time.

"This dish is made of tender corn ears?" Li Zhi took a few bites and thought the dish was very good.

"By your Majesty, this is indeed made of tender corn ears. The tender corn ears are offered by the corn supervisor, and they call them corn bamboo shoots."

"These dishes were also served by the Corn Supervisor, right?" Li Zhi asked.

After eating, Li Zhi felt that the dishes made by Li San from Lanxi were more in line with his appetite. Unfortunately, Li San refused to be his cook, but fortunately Li San did not hide it. The imperial chef in the palace still learned to cook. There was even a chef who specialized in cooking, which was actually summoned from Li Zhuang in Lanxi.

"The corn should be harvested in no time." Li Zhi thought to himself. Although the corn has not yet matured, since the corn in several pieces of experimental fields has begun to bear ears, it means that Li Xiao's corn is not weak. What is bad now is just the last step of verification.

I have eaten all the ears of corn, but the corn must be not far away.

Thinking of the two corn plants he raised, Li Zhi felt it was time to pick out the excess ears, although he was a little reluctant to leave.

After lunch, Li Zhi was very satisfied with the food and specially ordered the chef to give the cooking chef ten pieces of silk cloth.

After the meal, Master Zhang, the general of the Baiqi Silang, came to report.

The Baiqisi was founded by Emperor Taizong Li Shimin. It has a small number of people, but it is very concise. It is a spy organization similar to the Jinyiwei.

It is the emperor's eyes and ears of all officials.

Master Zhang, a man from Wugong County, reported to the emperor the latest developments about the elders such as Changsun Wuji, Yu Zhining, Han Yuan, Lai Ji.

"You said that the uncle gave Li Xiao a set of other houses in Shengyefang this morning, and he went to Li Xiao to have dinner with Li Xiao at noon?"

Li Zhi did not expect that the uncle Changsun Wuji would actually have contact with Li Xiao.

And they are so close to each other.

"Did you find out what they've talked about?"

Master Zhang did not expect Changsun Wuji to interact with Li Xiao. Li Xiao's grade was too low, but it was not enough for the supervision list of hundreds of riders in the past, so he was not prepared for the time being.

However, Baiqisi was not a good person. After knowing that they were in contact, he quickly investigated Li Xiao’s recent movements.

As a result, they found out that Li Xiao had a meeting with Changsun Wuji and Han Yuan yesterday on the Weishui River outside Chang'an City.

As for what he said, no one knows.

Li Zhi was even more confused.

Changsun Wuji suddenly resigned today, unexpectedly, and this action was without warning. Now the Baiqisi told him that Changsun Wuji and Li Xiao secretly met by the Weishui River outside Chang'an City yesterday, and he resigned today.

In the morning, Changsun Wuji sent Li Xiao's mansion to another mansion, and at noon he went to Li Xiaoxin's mansion to have dinner.

When these things are linked, Li Zhi's face is no longer good-looking.

In Li Zhi's impression, Li Xiao is a very free and easy person. Although he sometimes makes him unhappy, he has no contact with the veteran school. He has a good relationship with Princess Yuse and a good relationship with Xue Rengui's son and Cheng Yaojin's grandson.

When did Li Xiao actually get together with Changsun Wuji again?

"How big is the house in Guoji Shengyefang?" Li Zhi asked with a gloomy face.

People who are emperors are always suspicious and suspicious.

"That other house covers 18 acres of land and is worth more than 6 million yuan."

More than 6 million yuan, this is more than 6,000 stakes. How much is Li Xiao’s annual salary? Why did Changsun Wuji give such a large sum of money to Li Xiao? I think yesterday that the two of them had a secret discussion by the Weishui River. Changsun resigned today and gave Li Xiao money after he went to court. No matter how he looked, it seemed that there was a secret transaction.

Why did Li Xiao dare to accept this big gift?

Did he collect it himself or for others?

"Have Li Xiao moved into that house?"

"I have already changed the plaque of Li's house. Li Xiao has moved in. When the Grand Master gave the house to Li Xiao, he even gave the more than thirty slaves and all the utensils in the house to Li Xiao."

As the emperor trusted, Master Zhang can of course guess some of the emperor’s thoughts at this time.

"What are you doing with this bastard?" Li Zhi was worried about Li Xiao and Changsun Wuji getting together.

Li Xiao has grown corn well recently, and has invented the extremely sharp curved plow. With the technology of growing corn in saline-alkali land, Li Xiao was happy and restored to Li Xiao's original position. But who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, Li Xiao took on Changsun Wuji again.

Damn, why don’t this damn know how to calm down? What is he doing?

"Zhang Qing, check it out for me, and you must find out when Li Xiao got together with his uncle, and also find out what they said yesterday?"

Intuition told Li Zhi that what Li Xiao said to Changsun Wuji yesterday led to Changsun's voluntary resignation today. But Li Zhi couldn't understand what they said could have such a result.

He couldn't figure it out even if he wanted to break his head, so he could only ask Master Zhang to check it out.

Master Zhang answered the order.

When he walked out of the palace, Master Zhang was puzzled.

Master Zhang, wearing a purple robe, was puzzled, why is Li Xiao so wild? Everyone can hook up with him?

Li Xiao is a man in Lantian County, while Master Zhang is a man in Wugong County, both of whom are barons, but Master Zhang is a third-rank high-ranking official, so it is not easy to be the emperor's confidant.

Master Zhang was an authentic Guanlong nobleman. His father was once the governor of Xiangzhou in the Sui Dynasty, and his grandfather was Zhang Wei, the Duke of Wancheng County. The Zhang family also had another identity, which was the relative of the Li Tang royal family, and Master Zhang was the nephew of Emperor Gaozu's church.

In his early years, he followed Emperor Gaozu to conquer the world. He gained military achievements and became the governor of Huazhou. He also served as the Grand Duke and was named the Baron of Wugong County. Later, he turned to the Hundred Cavalry Office.

He also has two younger brothers, both of whom are third ranks. His second brother Zhang Jian was the chief legitimate and was awarded the title of Duke of Wancheng County, Jinzi Guanglu Dafu, and Dongyi Duke. His third brother Zhang Yanshi was the General of the Left Guard, was granted Duke of Fanyang County, and was stationed in the north of Chang'an.

The third rank of Tang Dynasty was made, and the three brothers of the Zhang family were all third ranks, and one rank was called the Three steeds of Zhang family.

But Master Zhang really couldn't understand how this fast Li Xiao had a very good relationship with Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, and Xue Rengui, the upstarts in Shandong, and they could also have close contacts with the two Guanlong elders, Changsun Wuji and Han Yuan. In this world, is there really anyone in this world who can get along with each other?

A farmer's family can even let the emperor hide his identity from his house again and again?
