This news returned to the court, and the decision for grain distribution, which had yet to be determined, immediately became the biggest issue at present.
That day, Emperor Xuanming summoned the Fourth Prince, Li Chongjin, to the palace.
Li Chongjin arrived at the palace and waited outside the Imperial Study for half a quarter before he was called in. The person he passed by was none other than Duke Zheng, Liu Yanzhen.
"Fourth Prince, please wait," Liu Yanzhen called out to him.
Li Chongjin's steps paused slightly, "Does Prince of the State have any matters?"
"The Fourth Prince has contributed greatly with the cultivation of the new grain variety. The Emperor will surely value you more. It's just a pity that this time, it seems the Emperor intends to entrust Prince Qi with the new grain for disaster relief. Your intentions...," Liu Yanzhen smiled with a meaningful look, his unfinished words couldn't be clearer.
Li Chongjin's expression remained cold, "Oh."
