It wasn't that Zhu Yuanzhang wasn't in a hurry to answer. This matter was indeed very important.
After all, potatoes were a gift from the gods. They were recognized by the heavens to save the sufferings of the people and ensure the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty. There could not be any mistakes.
Zhu Yuanzhang was suspicious. He would definitely investigate the matter of the potatoes in private. He would not believe it so easily.
But now, he had to give this credit to Zhu Biao!
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Chen. His meaning was obvious. Was this matter settled?
Zhu Chen's eyes moved slightly and his answer was simple. This was done by Big Brother!
He wasn't just saying it casually. No matter who asked him about this, he was sure that his brother was dreaming and that the gods had sent it to him at night!
Even if Zhu Yuanzhang asked him in private, he would also give the same answer!
Even if Zhu Yuanzhang punished him with fifty sticks and sent him to Ninggu Tower, he still said the same thing!
Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Chen's answer and the doubts in his heart were somewhat removed.
As for the investigation, he would talk about it later.
Now, since Zhu Chen answered like this, with Zhu Chen's temperament and means, even if it was fake, he could naturally make things solid too!
Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and said to Zhu Biao,""The contribution of the Imperial College to the construction of the examination hall and the Hall of Gathering Virtues naturally cannot be compared to potatoes.”
"After all, we can build the examination hall, the Hall of Virtue, and the directorate. If you can do it, Chen 'er can do it, and we can let others do it.”
"However, potatoes are divine items after all. This represents the auspicious signs of our Great Ming Dynasty and also represents the stomachs of our Great Ming people. Naturally, the contribution of potatoes is greater!”
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's answer, Zhu Biao stepped forward and said,"Father, how do you think we should reward such a meritorious service?!”
Yo!
Biao 'er is not bad. He actually knows how to scheme against me?
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhu Biao was confident and knew that he had an idea in his heart, so he asked,"Biao 'er, how do you think we should reward such a meritorious service?!”
Zhu Biao was relieved and thought to himself, What he wanted was an answer!
But he didn't notice.
He actually dared to scheme against Zhu Yuanzhang!
Even if he had been killed, he would not have schemed against Zhu Yuanzhang!
Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Zhu Biao bowed and said,"Your son believes that this is a great achievement that has never been seen in history, such a great merit that covers the world, such a magnificent feat that benefits the people for thousands of generations!”
"It's only right..."
Zhu Biao gritted his teeth and said,""Yes, Mount Tai Pilgrimage!"
Mount Tai Pilgrimage!
When Zhu Biao said this, all the civil and military officials began to pant!
What did Mount Tai represent?
The significance of the Mount Tai Pilgrimage was not to be trifled with!!!
Throughout history, how many people had been able to perform the Pilgrimage on Mount Tai?!
How many emperors would dare?
How many emperors had the qualifications to do so?!
In the entire history of China, the Pilgrimage Ceremony was the grandest and most controversial ceremony.
It was an extremely important and ancient ritual in China.
Sima Qian of the Han Dynasty had said in the Records of the Historian, the Book of Fengshan that since ancient times, when emperors received orders, why didn't they go to Fengshan?
It could be seen that the Fengshan ceremony was an important sacrificial ceremony for the ancient kings of China.
In ancient legends, there were seventy-two emperors who went to Mount Tai to worship.
Sima Qian had clearly listed twelve ancient emperors in the Records of the Historian: Wuhuai, Fuxi, Shennong, Emperor Yan, Emperor Huang, Zhuanxu, Emperor Ku, Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, and King Cheng of Zhou!!!
And in the history of Huaxia, which was recorded accurately, only five emperors had once held a ceremony at Mount Tai!
Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng!
Emperor Wu Liu Che!
Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty!
Tang Gaozong Li Zhi!
Tang Xuanzong Li Longji!
As for Song Zhenzong, who had lowered the level of the Pilgrimage Ceremony in Zhu Chen's world, there was no Pilgrimage Ceremony on Mount Tai in this world. He was not worthy!
Therefore, the significance of Mount Tai's Pilgrimage was extraordinary throughout the entire history of China!
Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor of a generation.
It wasn't that he didn't have the qualifications to go to the Pilgrimage Ceremony, but there were too many rituals on Mount Tai, and what he hated the most was the waste of manpower and money!
However!
It was different now. If it was for his own Biao Er, then it was naturally possible!
Moreover, he now needed to use the divine item potatoes to consolidate the Great Ming Dynasty's territory so that the people of the Great Ming Dynasty could eat their fill!!
Therefore, Zhu Biao was allowed to perform the Pilgrimage on Mount Tai!!!
Zhu Biao saw that everyone's emotions had been completely stirred up. He bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang again and said,"Build an altar on Mount Tai to worship the heavens and repay the heavens!!”
"Good! Then we'll allow you to worship Mount Tai!" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't wait for Zhu Biao to continue and directly agreed to his suggestion!
He thought that Zhu Biao would accept it in fear and trepidation, but then he saw Zhu Biao standing proudly and saying,""No!"
Zhu Biao turned to Zhu Chen and said,"The Mount Tai Pilgrimage should be done by my brother, Zhu Chen!"”
"Because he was entrusted by the gods to get these potatoes!”
At this point, Zhu Biao's originally clear eyes burst out with a light that seemed to be tangible. He looked at Zhu Chen and asked,"Imperial brother, I'll take the credit for building the exam hall, the Hall of Gathering Virtues, and the directorate!”
"This is indeed what I did!”
"But…"
"Are you saying that this auspicious potato was obtained by me?!”
"Then let me ask you. I've been working hard these days and haven't left this place at all. Where did I find the time to plant potatoes?!”
"You said that I made the potatoes, but you don't have any evidence!”
"And your royal brother, I, have always been here!”
"Before the appearance of the potato, no one had ever seen this divine item.”
"You were the one who brought it here for the first time. How much per mu is produced, what are the requirements for the fields, and the taste! How to eat! Nature! You're so familiar with it!"
"And I don't know anything about this. Then let me ask you, if you didn't do this, who else could it be?!!”
Who else could it be!
Who else could it be?
Who else could it be?
The last sentence was shouted by Zhu Biao hysterically.
"Ah? This…"
"Yes, everything about this potato was told to us by the second prince. Why is he so familiar with it?”
"That makes sense. Why do I feel that this matter can't be pondered over? It was as if everything was led by the Second Prince?”
For a moment, the surrounding people were also discussing animatedly.
However, Zhu Chen appeared calm and collected. He did not even know where he had taken out a stick of candied haws.
His right hand continued to place the sword on his neck and said leisurely,"Erhu, please give everyone another batch of potatoes.”
Erhu didn't understand. After seeing Zhu Yuanzhang agree, he quickly took out countless potatoes from the big jar.
And the vat was still bottomless!
Seeing that everyone had potatoes in their hands, Zhu Chen leisurely took a bite of the candied haws and said.
"Everyone, look at the potatoes in your hands. Is there a faint..."
"There's one, a label!"
