Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 546 tit for tat

If you are a regular farmer, it may only take a few days to plow ten acres of land, but for the four pampered people, it is okay to talk about it, and it is undoubtedly very difficult for them to work in the field thing.

Thinking of this, the four of them gritted their teeth and bowed deeply to Gao Ming again.

"His Royal Highness, I am willing to accept the punishment, but let's pay the fine!"

"Yes, His Royal Highness, we still have official duties to deal with, and our punishment is minor, but if we delay political affairs, it will be a big loss!"

"Yeah yeah!"

Seeing the anxious look of the four, Gao Ming grinned again.

"Hey, do you want to pay a fine?"

"Uh-huh!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the four of them immediately pecked their heads like chickens. Seeing them like this, Gao Ming laughed even more happily.

Just when they thought Gao Ming would agree, Gao Ming suddenly put away his smile and uttered two words from his mouth at the same time.

"no way!"

"..."

Hearing these two words, the expressions of the four fell into a dull state again. In desperation, the four could only cast their eyes on Li Shimin for help.

Unfortunately, they were wrong. Not only did Li Shimin not plan to help them, but he also planned to push them again.

Seeing the help-seeking gazes cast by the four people, Li Shimin immediately snorted coldly.

"Hmph! Water can carry a boat and capsize it. Farming cattle is a major issue for the people involved. How can you pay for whatever you want? Come, put the plow ropes on the four of them, and let them plow the land!"

"Yes!"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, several Qianniuwei immediately rushed up, pushed the four people into the field with all their hands and feet, and then tied them with plow ropes.

The four of them didn't expect that Li Shimin would suddenly do this to them, and they were all dumbfounded for a moment. When they recovered, Qianniuwei had already put the plow rope on them.

After reacting, the four of them begged Li Shimin for mercy.

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, so please forgive me and wait this time!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, we really can't pull this plow!"

"What year and month will it take to cultivate this, please be merciful, Your Majesty!"

Seeing the four pleadingly, Li Shimin snorted again.

"Humph! Both the prince and I can finish plowing. Why can't the four of you finish plowing? If you can't finish plowing in one day, you can plow for ten days, and if you can't finish plowing in ten days, you can plow for a month. When will you finish plowing and when will you come back to work?" towards!"

"Uh……"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, the four fell into a daze again.

Although Li Shimin was plowing the land before, it was the ox who really made great efforts, but now the four of them are allowed to do the work of the ox. Isn't this difficult for a strong man?

Although they all knew that Li Shimin was making unreasonable words, they didn't know how to defend themselves. Seeing Li Shimin's resolute expression, the four of them could only sigh, then gritted their teeth and prepared to plow the field.

At this time, Gao Ming suddenly spoke.

"Father, wait first!"

Hearing Gao Ming speak, the eyes of the four suddenly flashed a ray of hope, and they turned to look at Gao Ming quickly.

In their expectant gazes, Gao Ming came forward and bowed his hands to Li Shimin.

"Father, my son thinks it's inappropriate to put plows on the four of them and let them plow the land!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the four of them couldn't help but burst into tears.

What a good prince to actually repay grievances with virtue. Next time, even if those people give him any favors, he will never trouble him again!

Just when the four were moved inexplicably, they found that Gao Ming smiled again, and then stretched out two fingers towards Li Shimin.

"I think it's enough to harness two of them to the plow, because plowing the field requires someone to hold the plow, just like I did just now!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the four fell into a daze again.

So it wasn't for them to plead for mercy?
Compared with the surprised four people, Li Shimin already knew that Gao Ming would not be able to intercede for them. Now that Gao Ming said this, his face immediately showed a "really so" expression.

Looking at Gao Ming who bowed his hands and saluted towards him, he immediately smiled and nodded.

"Well, what the prince said is reasonable, so among these four people, which two will plow the land and which two will handle the plow?"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, the four people in the field immediately looked at each other. When they saw each other's expressions, they all showed vigilant expressions on each other's faces.

None of them are newcomers in the officialdom, so of course they know that Gao Ming's move is to drive them apart.

But even if they knew, there was nothing they could do, because the four of them didn't have much friendship at first, and they only got together for the benefit, so naturally they wouldn't stand up for each other.

Besides, there are about ten acres of land in front of them. If they really want to drag the plow like cows to plow these fields, with their thin skin and tender meat, even if they don't die from exhaustion, they will have to shed a layer of skin!

This can't be done casually, the price is too high!

Thinking of this, several people looked at each other with a little unkind eyes.

Gao Ming also discovered this, so he smiled at Li Shimin again.

"Hey, actually I don't know who should handle the plow and who should plow the field, so let the four of them decide for themselves!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin immediately understood his "bad intentions", looked at him with a half-smile, and then nodded towards the four people in the field.

"You have heard what the prince said just now, so you can decide which two will plow the fields!"

As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, the three people in the field pointed their fingers at one person and shouted in unison.

"He came to plow the field!"

What the three pointed at was none other than the official who first jumped out to accuse Gao Ming. In the eyes of the three, if he hadn't made such a bad excuse, they wouldn't have been hurt like this.

Pig teammates must be punished!
The official who was pointed at seemed to understand this too, so he snorted and stopped talking.

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin nodded immediately.

"Okay, this is one, and who is the other?"

"This……"

After pushing out the "culprit", the remaining three fell into hesitation again.

Seeing that the three were in a difficult situation of choosing, the official who was selected by them sneered suddenly, and then pointed to one of them.

"I think it's him, because he is the strongest, so he should have more strength, and he can plow the field faster!"

"you……"

The official under his guidance immediately stared, but before he could get angry, the other two nodded together.

"That's right, if you grow strong, it's up to you!"

"Yes, yes, finish plowing earlier, so we can go back sooner!"

Hearing what the two said, the official who was pushed out by them suddenly collapsed and knelt down towards Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, I am not strong, I am just puffy!"

"puff……"

As soon as his words fell, Gao Ming couldn't help laughing, and waved towards him while laughing.

"It doesn't count what you said, the minority obeys the majority, it's just you two!"

Having said that, Gao Ming raised his chin towards Qianniuwei who was next to him.

"There are candidates to plow the fields, go and help the other two masters untie the plow ropes on their bodies!"

"Yes!"

Under Gao Ming's order, the two Qianniu guards immediately went up and untied the plow ropes on the other two.

After the plow rope was untied, the two bowed their hands towards Gao Ming again.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"

Seeing the two thanking Gao Ming, the other two with plows glared at them immediately, as if they were looking at traitors.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming immediately grinned.

This is what I want!
