The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

Fang Xuanling hurried to Lingyan Pavilion.

The list of heroes of Lingyan Pavilion has been drawn up, and the portraits of the heroes were all drawn by Zhao Chen himself.

Now Zhao Chen puts another stone statue into Lingyan Pavilion.

Where is Zhao Chen going to put him?

Who will be the person who was squeezed out of the ranking by a stone statue?

Does everyone move back one position or something?

If this is the case, Zhao Chen alone has offended the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.

This movement is a bit too loud.

Fang Xuanling had to stop this matter before it escalated.

Wei Zheng went directly to Zhao Chen's house.

He couldn't understand what Zhao Chen was up to.

But suddenly putting a statue into Lingyan Pavilion is no small matter.

Although he, Wei Zheng, doesn't care about his ranking in Lingyan Pavilion, other distinguished officials may not agree.

Especially those who have a grudge against Zhao Chen, such as Hou Junji, won't they kill Zhao Chen this time?

Lingyan Pavilion, many officials are here today, ready to see the portraits of those heroes and put them into Lingyan Pavilion.

Li Ke appeared here pushing a stone statue.

It immediately caused a huge sensation.

What is your Royal Highness the King of Shu doing? How can you get a stone statue?

This stone statue seems to be newly carved, and the marks on it are still very new!

Today is the day when the portraits of the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion enter the palace. What does it mean for His Highness the King of Shu to bring over a stone statue?

He doesn't want to put this stone statue into Lingyan Pavilion, right?

That's not true. I have never seen this stone statue before.

This carving skill seems to have come from Duke Zhao!

Zhao Chen?

Duan Lun said that the carving method of this stone statue was inspired by Zhao Chen, which made all the officials change their expressions.

They were all wondering why Zhao Chen asked Li Ke to bring this statue here.

It was enough to say that they knew the person who created the statue.

The key is that none of them have seen the person on this statue.

His Royal Highness, King of Shu, what exactly is going on? Duan Lun, Minister of Industry, and Li Ke asked.

He also couldn't understand what was going on when Zhao Chen asked Li Keyun to bring such a statue at this time since the list of Lingyan Pavilion's heroes had been finalized a long time ago.

I don't know either, sir, he asked me to send it over here! Li Ke didn't say much.

He knew that if he told these officials what he knew, they would definitely explode on the spot.

No matter how meritorious Zhao Chen is, the officials will not let him act so willfully.

Lingyan Pavilion is related to the Tang Dynasty and is an affirmation of the heroes.

Under the supervision of hundreds of officials, how could Zhao Chen do whatever he wants?

Isn't Duke Zhao here? an official asked with a frown.

Sir, you'll be here shortly! Li Ke responded.

Everyone stopped talking. Under the cold winter, everyone looked at the stone statue in front of them in silence.

No one left.

They were all waiting for Zhao Chen to come over and give them a reasonable explanation.

…

Li Ke transported a stone statue to Lingyan Pavilion?

In the Li Zheng Palace, the emperor was still changing his clothes when he heard the eunuch next to him talking about Ling Yan Pavilion.

Yes, Your Majesty, His Highness the King of Shu said that Duke Wannian asked him to transport it here.

Although the reason was not stated, the ministers all felt that the Duke wanted to put the stone statue into Lingyan Pavilion.

I heard that the Duke will be arriving soon, and all the officials are waiting there. The eunuch and the emperor talked about the situation there.

The emperor waved his hand and motioned for the eunuch to go down.

Empress Changsun was left in the Li Zheng Hall to arrange the emperor's clothes.

When Lingyan Pavilion was first established, because the treasury could not come up with the money, I promised Zhao Chen to allow him to place a stone tablet in Lingyan Pavilion.

He said that man was the inventor of rice with a yield of three thousand kilograms per mu, and lived hundreds of millions of people, so I

So he agreed.

It has been several months, but I have forgotten about it. I don't want to today... The emperor and Empress Changsun explained the origin of the stone statue.

How is Your Majesty going to deal with this matter? Queen Changsun asked.

Since the emperor promised Zhao Chen, if he couldn't do it, Zhao Chen would definitely not agree.

If the emperor agreed to let the stone statue enter Lingyan Pavilion, what would the officials say?

The only way is to convince the officials that the three thousand kilograms of rice per acre was really researched by the man with the stone statue.

But except Zhao Chen, no one had seen that person.

How do the officials believe this?

I have no good solution now. The only solution is to convince the officials that the rice came from the hands of the man with the stone statue! The emperor frowned.

He had only promised to let Zhao Chen get a stone tablet and leave a last name at most.

I didn't expect that guy to even carve a stone statue!

But Zhao Chen said at that time that the person who invented the rice yield of three thousand kilograms per mu was not in this world at all.

Isn't this a joke on him?

Who would believe it?

Guanyin, please stay here and prepare for tomorrow's New Year's Eve dinner. Then our family will have a good reunion dinner! the emperor and Empress Changsun said.

…

Zhao Chen, can't you let us spend the New Year in peace and contentment?

The Chinese New Year is tomorrow. Are you going to have a fight with the officials again today?

On the way to Lingyan Pavilion, Wei Zheng and Zhao Chen complained.

He was also doing it for Zhao Chen's own good.

If the stone statue wants to enter Lingyan Pavilion, it will definitely be blocked by officials.

And this time, it will definitely be more intense than any before.

In the eyes of the officials, even the emperor would not dare to do this if Zhao Chen acted so recklessly.

If Zhao Chen is allowed to continue like this, won't the court become a place where Zhao Chen can say anything?

Just to prevent it from happening like this,

The officials will definitely stop Zhao Chen today.

Does Mr. Wei know what the price of rice is this year? Zhao Chen asked.

Two cents per catty. Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment and then said.

What was the price of rice last year? Zhao Chen asked again.

Five Wen, or even higher. Wei Zheng frowned.

He didn't quite understand what Zhao Chen said had to do with what they were doing today.

How many people have starved to death this year, and how does it compare to last year? Zhao Chen asked again.

It's very small, less than 20% last year, and it also experienced a severe locust plague, but very few people died from hunger.

Thanks to those rice seeds you got last year, otherwise... Wei Zheng sighed.

He has been serving in Zhongshu Province for some time.

All memorials from various places were also presented.

In the past, more than 100,000 people died of hunger in various places every year.

But this year is different.

Even because of the locust plague, less than 20,000 people died of starvation in various places.

It's really a good change.

And these all changed because of the appearance of Zhao Chen.

If Zhao Chen's stone statue entered Lingyan Pavilion, the reaction of the officials would not be that strong.

But the man in the stone statue was clearly an old man they had never seen before.

Want to enter Lingyan Pavilion...

The rice seeds were researched by the old stone statue. I just planted them on the ground.

With a handful of seeds, hundreds of millions of people can live, how come they can't enter Lingyan Pavilion? Zhao Chen asked Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng was in a daze.

This was the first time that Zhao Chen questioned him like this.

However, except Zhao Chen, who would believe that the rice seeds were researched by someone they had never met before.

Zhao Chen, the officials won't believe it, they...

Why should they believe it? If they don't want to, then they don't want Lingyan Pavilion! Zhao Chen interrupted Wei Zheng and said in a deep voice.
