Wentang

Chapter 18 Wu Deli

There are livestock, and the elderly can also use it.

These words sounded like thunder in the ears of the ministers, shaking their souls.

No one who can stand here is a fool, and they can understand the truth that Changsun Wuji can understand.Even if you don't understand it, you should be able to figure it out when you see the people around you.

"King Qin's words are serious?" It was Prime Minister Pei Ji who stepped forward and asked.

"Why do you need to ask me, this thing is right in front of you, you can tell whether it is true or not by trying it." Li Shimin laughed.

Pei Ji turned to look at Li Yuan, and all the officials also looked at Li Yuan, waiting for his order.

"Quick, quick, quick, show me right away." Li Yuan was more excited than everyone else, and hurriedly ordered.

After receiving the order, the manpower prepared by Li Shimin in advance took action.He had made sufficient preparations in advance, and specially brought an eleven or twelve-year-old eunuch over to help the plow.

It was no different from the previous experiment. With the force of the strong man in front, the Quyuan plowshare sank deeply into the ground, and then a neat furrow appeared in front of everyone.

But at this moment, no one cared about this, and everyone's eyes were on the little eunuch behind him.It was found that he was indeed just holding the plow with his hands, with little effort.

Anyone who knows how to see this scene is going crazy.

Really, this plow can really save a strong labor.

Excited, Li Yuan didn't care about the dragon robe he was wearing, and chased after the little eunuch in two steps at a time, and he helped the plow himself.

Then he found that it was indeed as Li Shimin said, he only needed to hold the handrail to prevent the plow from tilting, and he didn't need to exert much effort at all.

After experiencing the benefits of Quyuanli personally, Li Yuan was completely excited, and walked several times holding the plow before stopping.

"Okay, okay, having this plow will save [-]% of people's power, and the world will have [-]% more fertile land. This plow is indeed the biggest auspicious thing I have ever seen. The people of the world have done a good job." Li Yuan saw his teeth but couldn't see his eyes with a smile. He praised Li Shimindao.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty..." The ministers congratulated Li Yuan one after another, and made Li Yuan even happier with their compliments.

However, Li Jiancheng, who was hiding aside, looked gloomy as if soaked in ink, and this was the last thing he wanted to see.

What is his advantage over Li Shimin?Apart from his status as the eldest son, his biggest advantage lies in his outstanding achievements in government affairs.

At the beginning of Li Tang's army, Li Jiancheng also led troops, but after he invaded Chang'an and established the country, he stayed in the center to assist Li Yuan in managing the country's government and stabilize the rear, while Li Shimin led troops to fight everywhere.

His achievements on the surface are definitely not as dazzling as Li Shimin's siege of cities and countries, but he has also made great contributions.Think about how Xiao He became the Three Heroes of the early Han Dynasty, and you will know how much Li Jiancheng has contributed.

Of course, Li Jiancheng is definitely not comparable to Xiao He, but the reason is the same.Li Jiancheng also made great contributions in the rear.

This is also the reason why Li Yuan made Li Shimin the crown prince instead of Li Shimin, who had more outstanding achievements.Because Li Yuan understands that conquering the world immediately cannot rule the world immediately.

Li Jiancheng has proved his ability in government affairs, but Li Shimin has not.So he chose the safer Li Jiancheng as the prince.

(This is written here deliberately for the sake of the plot, don't take it seriously.)
Let's get away, let's get back to the present.

The most confident thing about Li Jiancheng is that his achievements in government affairs far surpass Li Shimin.In his opinion, today Li Shimin dedicates the new type of plow to the emperor as auspicious, just to wrestle with him in government affairs.

After all, Nong Sang occupies a very large proportion in government affairs, making achievements in this area can give Li Shimin a lot of points.

The praise of Li Shimin from all the ministers was so harsh to his ears, especially the approving gaze of his father Li Yuan made him flustered.

Can't just watch Li Shimin's scheme succeed like this, he thought anxiously in his heart.Turning his eyes, he suddenly thought of an idea.

Quietly approaching one of his confidantes, making arrangements like this.After finishing speaking, regardless of the ugly face of that confidant, he stepped aside as if nothing had happened.

His confidant secretly hated, the prince let himself die.To say such things at this time, regardless of whether King Qin will be unlucky or not, he will definitely be unlucky.

But it's impossible not to talk about it, he is the prince's confidant, and his whole body of honor and disgrace is tied to the prince.Today, if he dared to disobey the order, he would be killed if he turned around.

Thinking of this, he could only stand up bravely, and said with a big smile: "King Qin is indeed a model of my Tang Dynasty in the famous works in China, and all such feats must be dedicated to His Majesty through your hands."

As soon as this remark came out, the noisy scene fell silent instantly.

What this sentence means is very simple.You, King of Qin Weijia, are known throughout the Tang Dynasty. If someone invented the plow, he must first dedicate it to you, and you will dedicate it to His Majesty.

The implication is that the common people only know that there is King Qin, but not His Majesty.

How would the emperor feel when he heard this?There is no need to guess at all, just look at Li Yuan's gloomy face about to kill someone.

Several prime ministers are also full of unswerving faces. What does it mean that you come out to make everyone look ugly at such a happy moment?However, they were just unhappy, but they didn't stand up and reprimand him.

No one present was a fool, and everyone knew that the official who stood up belonged to the prince.At this time, if they said such a thing, if it was not the prince's intention, they would definitely not believe it.

Most people really dare not participate in the battle between the crown prince and King Qin.

Li Jiancheng didn't really want to get rid of himself, he knew it was impossible.But it doesn't matter, as long as there is no conclusive evidence, who can do anything to him?
His purpose was to disgust Li Shimin. It would be even better if he could plant the seeds of suspicion in Li Yuan's heart.

Li Jiancheng's supporters applauded in their hearts, waiting to see Li Shimin's jokes.The faces of Li Shimin's supporters became more and more ugly. They didn't expect Li Jiancheng to use such a method to attack.

Those neutral officials watched their mouths, noses, noses, noses, and hearts, pretending to hear nothing and see nothing.

Li Shimin's face also changed, and he stared at the official.This person also knew that he had no room to back down, so he simply went all out and showed Li Shimin a smile full of admiration.

But Li Shimin is Li Shimin, his brain turned rapidly, and soon he thought of a way to break the situation, and he said calmly: "This thing was made by a young man in Longxi. He is very kind to his father and wants to dedicate this thing to you." Thank you for your kindness.”

"But he's just a grassroots person, how can he get in touch with the real dragon emperor. Just a few days ago, I went to Longshou Mountain to play, and I met him in the countryside by chance. He didn't know the identity of my son, but he guessed that I was in the court. relationship, so ask me to dedicate this thing to my father."

"He even gave this thing a name, Wu Deli."
