Chapter 1201: The Shock of the Officials
Translator: Lonelytree
When Yuwen Longyan, who had changed into casual clothes, brought the civil and military officials, who had also changed into casual clothes, and the royal family to the Nanyuan Manor, Jiang Zhennan had already led a group of subordinates to welcome them at the door. “Welcome, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!’
“Beloved ministers, rise!” Yuwen Longyan said.
After Jiang Zhennan and the others stood up, Jiang Zhennan made an inviting gesture and said to Yuwen Longyan,” Your Majesty, please! Milords, please!”
When the descendants of the royal family and the civil and military officials saw Jiang Zhennan without his mask, the people who had never seen Jiang Zhennan before were slightly surprised.
They had heard that Jiang Zhennan was handsome, but they didn’t expect it to be true.
However, since Jiang Zhennan was not disfigured, why did he wear a mask for a long time?
Of course, they didn’t have the courage to ask Jiang Zhennan this question. Similarly, it wasn’t appropriate for them to ask this question. They just followed him into the Nanyuan Manor with strange and puzzled expressions. Everyone was curious and confused, including Yuwen Longyan, because he didn’t know what was going on at Nanyuan Manor.
However, since Jiang Zhennan had transferred the entire estate to Lin Yuelan, this estate must be the same as the farmland in Taoyuan Village. It would bring a fruitful harvest!
Therefore, Yuwen Longyan also walked into the Nanyuan Manor with excitement!
As soon as they entered the Nanyuan Manor, the mysterious veil was finally revealed.
“This… Is this the Nanyuan Manor?”
Under the leadership of the Emperor, the officials looked at the vast expanse of yellow and gold in shock. It was as if they could not see the end.
“Are these rice fields and grains?
After a moment of shock, Prime Minister Chen quickly walked to the front of the rice field and bent down. Then, he carefully observed, “There are many grains, and the grains are full!” Prime Minister Chen said in surprise and excitement,” It’s even better than ordinary people’s. Looking at this large paddy field, the harvest must be good!”
He had already guessed the reason why His Majesty had brought them here.
It was to let the officials see the great harvest of the Nanyuan Manor.
Minister Chen guessed the first possibility but not the second.
And His Majesty’s goal, oh, it could be said that he had an evil goal. He wanted everyone to go to the fields and participate in the harvest!
At this moment, no one knew.
After hearing Prime Minister Chen’s words, the descendants of the royal family and the civil and military officials all quickly walked to the side of the paddy field to observe the rice.
However, most of these people did not know anything about agriculture. Therefore, they could only pretend to look at them. They nodded and agreed with Prime Minister Chen.” Yes, Prime Minister is right. These grains are growing really well. One look, and you can tell that we will have a great harvest!”
“Tsk!” An official’s fair and tender hand was accidentally stabbed by the tip of the millet. He frowned in pain, but he did not dare to cry out in front of the Emperor. He could only cry and ask,” How can this thing have thorns?
The corners of the others’ mouths twitched.
Just now, he was clearly boasting about the great potential yield of the paddy fields, but now, he didn’t even know that there were some fine thorns on the ears of rice.
Eunuch Zhang looked at this official. He had only been slightly pricked by the grain, but he was already in so much pain that he was grimacing. His expression was slightly dissatisfied) and he thought to himself) ‘His Majesty was cut by the rice leaves and bled, but he didn’t even frown. This official only pricked his finger slightly, and it was as if he had suffered a great grievance.’ His Majesty only glanced at that person and did not say anything else. Then, he asked Jiang Zhennan, who was beside him,” Are you ready?”
“Yes!” Jiang Zhennan replied.
Then, Jiang Zhennan clapped his hands.
A moment later, Guo Bing and Little Three came over with a basket each.
The thing in the basket was obviously a small sickle used to cut rice.
Then, the two of them put down the basket and grabbed a few small sickles from the basket. They walked to the officials and handed them the small sickles.
Seeing the things handed to them, these people were confused and very baffled.
Then, he asked in confusion, “Lieutenant Guo, this… What is this?”
Guo Bing said with a mischievous and gloating smile,” Lord Yu, this is a small sickle!”
“Small sickle?” Lord Yu was even more puzzled.” What’s this for?”
“This is for harvesting rice!” Guo Bing said with the same smile.
“Harvest the rice?!” Lord Yu and the others who received the scythes were very surprised.
Why did he give them a small sickle for harvesting rice? Could it be that they had to harvest the rice? How was this possible?
Lord Yu was puzzled.” Lieutenant Guo, this… This…”
Guo Bing smiled and gave them an answer.” Oh, this is for you to harvest rice. Oh yes, we are harvesting rice today!”
Hiss!
Hearing this answer, everyone took a deep breath and looked at Guo Bing in disbelief, as if they were sure that he was joking.
Guo Bing shrugged his shoulders and directly pushed the responsibility away. He said,” Hey, don’t look at me. I was just following orders!”
As for who gave the orders, the officials had a fair guess.
There were only two people who could order Guo Bing around. One was his direct superior, Jiang Zhennan, and the other was Jiang Zhennan’s direct superior, His Majesty the Emperor!
However, in this situation, it was obvious that it was not Jiang Zhennan’s order. Then…
Everyone looked at Yuwen Longyan.
Then, Yuwen Longyan’s deep eyes swept across all the civil and military officials. His dignified expression was smiling as he said,” I brought all my beloved ministers here so that all of you can enjoy another kind of fun!”
All the ministers were speechless and muttered to themselves, “What kind of fun is this?”
Perhaps Yuwen Longyan heard everyone’s questions, so he smiled and said, “It’s to experience the joy of farming! Guo Bing, continue to distribute scythes. Make sure that every beloved minister has one!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!” Guo Bing quickly replied.
He really wanted to see these officials, who could not lift their hands or carry their shoulders and only knew how to talk in the court, so tired that their waists ached.
A moment later, each of them held a small sickle, but their expressions were somewhat puzzled.
How could he use this thing?
However, many people were resisting in their hearts. They had never done any hard work before, but now they were going to the fields. No matter what, they felt uncomfortable.
However, His Majesty was here. No matter how dissatisfied they were, they could not complain. Otherwise, if they made His Majesty unhappy, they would suffer even more!
Yuwen Longyan looked at their confused expressions and said with a smile,” You all got the tools? Then why are you still standing on the ridge? Go to the fields and harvest the rice!”
The officials looked at each other. They didn’t know how what to do.
Yuwen Longyan seemed to have reacted.” It doesn’t matter if you don’t know what to do because…”
Then, he instructed Jiang Zhennan,” Minister Jiang, please teach them!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!’
