Impeachment will make me stronger, and I will be invincible on the road to death.

Chapter 63 Yang Yanzhang: Are you bullying an honest person?

When everyone heard this, they all frowned!

This is to rush the duck to the shelves and force him to ask Yang Yanzhang for his attitude!
Yang Yanzhang dared to agree. After Wu Zetian borrowed food, he really had to find a way to repay it.

But if you dare not agree, then wouldn’t it mean that the lofty words of producing thousands of kilograms per acre are pure deception?

As a result, all the officials in the court couldn't help but gasped, saying in their hearts that Suo Yuanli was really a treacherous villain.

But after hearing this, Wu Zetian actually nodded thoughtfully!
"Suo Yuanli's words do have some truth! Sirs, who is willing to go and ask Yang Yanzhang on my behalf?"

All the officials immediately lowered their heads and said nothing. Who would be willing to do such an immoral thing?

"Wu Sansi, how about you go?"

Wu Sansi immediately shook his head: "Queen Mother, the Japanese envoys are coming, and the Ministry of Rites is about to receive them. The Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette, and as the Minister of Rites, I have to do this!"

Wu Zetian sneered, knowing that Wu Sansi was talking nonsense. It was just a Japanese country, let alone his minister of rites, even the minister did not need to be dispatched.

But Wu Sansi was one of his own, he was unwilling, and Wu Zetian would not force him.

Therefore, Wu Zetian frowned and stared at Suo Yuanli: "Suo Yuanli, you proposed this matter. I think it is most appropriate for you to go."

Suo Yuanli was so frightened that he trembled!

Zhou Xing explained how Lai Junchen and Zhou Xing forced a confession!
At that time, Yang Yanzhang was tied up and locked with iron chains. As a result, a group of strong men from the Criminal Department were beaten unconscious by Yang Yanzhang!

If he goes to do such a thing, why should he be beaten half to death by Yang Yanzhang?
So Suo Yuanli immediately said solemnly: "Your Majesty, there have been a lot of cases recently, and I am so busy with official duties that I really can't get away from it!"

Wu Zetian snorted again, but did not embarrass him. After all, Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen were both dead. If she showed too much force towards Suo Yuanli, the remaining cruel officials would be even more afraid and would no longer dare to do evil.

"Humph, since everyone is busy, it seems that I am free!"

"Let's disperse!"

Wu Zetian, who was unhappy, actually took action personally and left Shangyang Palace and went straight to Yang Yanzhang's residence.

At this time, the sun had just risen, and Wu Zetian was informed that Yang Yanzhang was no longer at the house.

"Are you going to see your own piece of land again?"

Shangguan Yuqing nodded: "The Queen Mother should know that he goes out before dawn every day and is very diligent."

Wu Zetian naturally knew this. After all, Yang Yanzhang's palace was full of maids given by her, and they were all her spies. She knew exactly when Yang Yanzhang went to the toilet.

"Yuqing, tell me, what are those things he planted? I heard that they are things I have never seen before!"

"Your Majesty, I have never seen Yuqing. I only heard from my husband that one is called potatoes, which are beans that grow in the soil, and the other is called corn, with grains as crystal clear as jade."

"Beans that grow in the soil are called potatoes, and beans that are as white as jade are called corn... This name sounds a bit hasty no matter how you hear it."

Wu Zetian muttered for a while and then asked: "Can these potatoes and corn be eaten?"

Shangguan Yuqing immediately nodded seriously: "Yes, and it tastes great! My husband personally cooked it once, one called beef stew with potatoes, and one called boiled corn. They are all delicious delicacies that I have never tasted before!"

"You have also eaten the palace's dishes with me. How do you think it compares to the meals you mentioned?" Shangguan Yuqing was a little embarrassed: "Does the Queen Mother want to listen to the truth?"

"Nonsense! Do I like to listen to lies?"

Shangguan Yuqing smiled bitterly and could only reply slowly: "Forgive me for speaking frankly, the food in the palace is still somewhat different from potato stew, beef and corn."

Wu Zetian suddenly swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Is it really that delicious?"

Shangguan Yuqing nodded vigorously: "It's even more delicious than that!"

Wu Zetian suddenly became a little impatient: "Well, I have something to ask Yang Yanzhang. You go and buy some potatoes and corn for me and send them to the palace. I will also taste them today!"

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Yuqing shook her head slightly, with an apologetic look on her face: "Queen Mother, what civilian women can eat is just a little bit left after planting. But the leftover is enough for a meal, and now there is none!"

Wu Zetian's eyes suddenly widened: "You have been craving for me for a long time, and then you tell me this? Shangguan Yuqing, is this how you and your wife do things? You have such delicious food, but you don't know how to share a bite with me?"

Shangguan Yuqing explained calmly: "My husband also wanted to offer it to the Queen Mother, but the common woman thought that the Queen Mother might not like it, so she tasted it for the Queen Mother first! In fact, Yuqing felt that the dish was a bit heavy, and the Queen Mother I like it light, so I don’t have the nerve to offer it to the Queen Mother.”

Wu Zetian gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do, so he decided to vent his anger on Yang Yanzhang: "He owes me a meal, and I will let him repay my future debts!"

So she angrily walked out of the city, and soon she saw Yang Yanzhang directing many people to water the fields.

Seeing Wu Zetian coming in person, Yang Yanzhang hurried over.

Wu Zetian was originally very angry, but now she was staring at Yang Yanzhang, fascinated.

"Hey! It was too hot just now, so I took off my clothes and forgot to put them on!"

Yang Yanzhang felt embarrassed and hurriedly went to put on his official uniform, but Wu Zetian stopped him.

"Yang Yanzhang, it's hot and there's no need to be polite. I'm here because I have something to tell you."

Wu Zetian said, with a smile on her face, completely losing the anger when she came.

"Your Majesty, please tell me something!"

"It's like this. The national treasury is empty and there is insufficient food. I am afraid that the supply of military rations is somewhat insufficient. I have discussed it with the ministers and plan to borrow some food from the rich households. But borrowing food will always give some benefits to the rich households. So I am worried that if I can’t pay it next year, the interest will increase more and more, which will drag down the court! So, I came here to find a solution for you. "

Yang Yanzhang laughed dumbly: "The imperial court has not yet returned, what can I do? Does the Queen Mother want me to return it?"

"Huh? Don't tell me, I have this intention!"

Yang Yanzhang suddenly looked confused: "Queen Mother, is this appropriate? Even if you want me to return the favor, you have to share the burden with all the ministers in the court, right? Is it possible that I have a big fool written on my face?"

Wu Zetian immediately covered her mouth and smiled: "Of course you are not stupid! Aren't you very capable, can you produce several thousand kilograms per hour? Then I borrow it, and you will pay it back! Anyway, for you, it doesn't matter if you have a high yield."

Yang Yanzhang's jaw almost dropped when he heard this: "Not the Queen Mother, you are afraid that you can't repay the loan to a wealthy family, so if you ask me to pay it back, you are not afraid of not being able to repay the humble minister? Wait! Does the Queen Mother mean not to repay the minister? ? "

Wu Zetian's smile became even stronger: "This is exactly what I mean."

Yang Yanzhang was not happy at that time: "Queen Mother, you are bullying an honest person! I get up early and work hard to cultivate the land. Is it easy for me?"
