After putting the potatoes into his mouth, Wang De's expression suddenly changed.
The guards were all observant people, so they could naturally tell that Wang De was not shocked because of the delicious food, but a change in his expression after being hurt.
In an instant, several sharp swords were unsheathed and pointed at Muchuan.
Muchuan, who was watching the excitement, was also startled.
This shouldn't be the case. These are potatoes given by the system. They can't be poisonous, right?
"You are going to rebel!"
Before Muchuan could react, Li Shimin spoke angrily.
The guards quickly sheathed their swords and knelt down, but all of them still stared at Muchuan.
They don't care what talents Muchuan has, as long as Li Shimin's life is threatened, they will chop Muchuan into pieces in the first instant.
"Wang De, is there something wrong with the potatoes?"
Li Shimin looked at Wang De and never glanced at Muchuan.
"Return, report back to Your Majesty"
Wang De took a few sips of hot air and said with a wry smile: "Here, these potatoes are just as Master Mu said, they are extremely fragrant."
"Then why do you have such a poisonous expression?"
Li Shimin frowned.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I'm a little anxious. I didn't expect this thing to be so hot, so I just looked strange."
Hearing this, Muchuan couldn't help but feel confused, but he also breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, nothing went wrong. If Wang De burped after eating potatoes, he might have to confess here.
"Let me have a taste."
Since it was not poisonous, Li Shimin could no longer hold back and took the potato by force.
Since he knew from Wang De that the potatoes were very hot, Li Shimin did not put them into his mouth directly, but first broke them off and observed them carefully for a while.
"Well, the color is golden, the smell is fragrant, and the portion is sufficient. It is indeed a good food."
Li Shimin glanced at Muchuan and gave a rare affirmation to Muchuan in his words.
Muchuan smiled and didn't say much.
Then, Li Shimin put the potato into his mouth.
After tasting it carefully, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction.
"Although it is not the best in the world, it has a unique sweetness when you taste it carefully."
With that said, Li Shimin patted Muchuan's shoulder hard and said, "Mu Chuan, these potatoes are very good. Please tell me in detail how difficult it is to grow them."
Naturally, Muchuan would not miss this opportunity and quickly introduced it in detail.
As Muchuan spoke, the light in Li Shimin's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Okay, okay! If what Mu Aiqing said is true, then these potatoes are really a sacred thing. If they are sown in large quantities, our Tang Dynasty will surely prosper for thousands of years!"
Li Shimin smiled brightly, and it was obvious that he was happy from the bottom of his heart.
It is said that food is the most important thing for the people. If the people's stomachs can be filled, then the Tang Dynasty can continue to be strong and prosperous.
Muchuan also smiled apologetically, but his heart was full of complaints.
This guy changed his name several times in just a short period of time.
From the bastard at the beginning to Mu Aiqing now, it is enough to see the unpredictable changes in the emperor's mind.
"Mu Chuan, how many potato seeds do you have left?"
Li Shimin grabbed Muchuan's arm and asked eagerly.
Now that he knows the value of potatoes, Li Shimin is naturally most concerned about their seeds.
If the number of seeds was scarce, it would be just a dream to sow potatoes throughout the Tang Dynasty.
"About a bag."
"Only one bag?"
Li Shimin's expression changed instantly.
Muchuan knew what Li Shimin was thinking, and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured that this bag of seeds is of the best quality. As long as you find a fertile land, you can harvest it in three or two months, and then plant it scattered, and so on."
If it goes on, within ten years, this kind will be available in the Tang Dynasty."
Hearing this, Li Shimin thought for a moment and nodded.
Regarding farming, Muchuan and Li Shimin were laymen, so they had to find professionals to handle this matter.
"Mu Chuan, you have made great achievements now. If you want any reward, just ask, I will grant it."
With the protection of Tudou, Li Shimin was in a very good mood now, and he wanted to reward Muchuan greatly.
Muchuan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I have nothing else to ask for. As long as I can protect the billions of people of the Tang Dynasty, I will be willing to be shattered into pieces."
"Come on, stop pretending to me."
Li Shimin rolled his eyes at Muchuan, "If you really have nothing else to ask for, then go back now."
"Don't, don't, don't"
Muchuan couldn't help but be speechless. He didn't expect that this person was really not polite at all.
"Actually, I do have a small request."
"Say it, I won't allow anything."
Muchuan coughed dryly, and the expression on his face became serious.
"Your Majesty, although I am a scholar, I have had the desire to kill enemies on the battlefield since I was a child."
Hearing this, Li Shimin stopped breaking potatoes and slowly moved his eyes to Muchuan.
For a moment, Muchuan felt that all the hairs on his body were rising.
At this moment, Li Shimin's eyes seemed to have penetrated everything, shooting directly into the depths of Muchuan's heart.
"Oh? You want to recruit troops?"
Li Shimin's tone was very light, but for some reason, Muchuan could hear a murderous aura from it.
If I nodded, I might die without knowing how.
Muchuan's heart was full of bitterness.
"Of course not. I just hope to join the army and one day have the opportunity to shed blood for the Tang Dynasty."
Hearing this, Li Shimin said nothing, but looked deeply at Muchuan.
Beads of sweat dripped down inexplicably, and Muchuan felt his heart beat rapidly.
It's ridiculous. From the very beginning, I underestimated Li Shimin.
How could such a king who killed his brother and forced his father to be a good person?
However, Muchuan had to do this.
If you stay in Chang'an all the time, you can indeed become the number one scholar, or even the prince-in-law in the future.
But in this way, I will not have any real power in my hands. If someone wants to harm me, I will not have the slightest ability to protect myself.
No matter which dynasty, military power is the only hard power.
It seemed like a century had passed before Li Shimin finally spoke.
"Let's put this matter aside for the time being. Let's discuss it later after you get married to Yongle."
After saying that, Li Shimin waved, turned and walked towards the depths of the palace.
"Wang De, I'm tired, let's see the guests off."
Outside the palace, on the road.
A carriage was driving slowly, and there was no one sitting in the carriage.
Muchuan and Gao Kan each rode a big horse.
Just now in the palace, Muchuan felt the great oppression of the imperial power for the first time. At this moment, he just wanted to enjoy the cool breeze.
"Young Master, I really can't figure it out. You have made such great achievements, why His Majesty refuses to let you serve as an officer in the army?"
Gao Kan scratched his head, looking puzzled.
Muchuan shook his head and did not explain.
great merit?
This is considered a great achievement, but compared with what I will do in the future, this thing is worthless.
It is a taboo in any dynasty to have high achievements and surpass one's master.
Because of this, Muchuan urgently needed military power.
I am not in the mood to be an emperor, but I cannot be a powerless ant in front of the imperial power.
Looking at the name in the sky, Muchuan's mood was extremely complicated.
