Chapter 0041: The Marquis of Freedom

The Tang plane, July 28, the fourth year of Zhenguan.

On this day, the sky was clear, and the ministers outside the Suzaku Gate were each holding a tall horse in two rows, waiting for the frame of Li Erma.

Yesterday's court meeting, Li Er Majesty Xià has already issued an order to the ministers to wait here today (9 o'clock ~ 11 o'clock), many ministers only know that he is going out of the palace today, but what exactly to do, only a few important ministers know.

Cheng Yanjin turned his head to stare at the eldest grandson Wuji beside him, and said in a low voice: "Eldest grandson fatty, where are you going, is it so mysterious?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji's old eyes narrowed slightly, but he knew that he wanted to hang Cheng Biting Jin's appetite, so he only replied lightly: "If you go, you will know." ”

"Hey, eldest grandson fat man...... Are you trying to whet my appetite? ”

Cheng Yanjin didn't know the thoughts of the eldest grandson Wuji, he was suddenly unhappy, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Li Shiji (Xu Maogong) who was smiling and silent, and immediately said: "Niu Nose, when did you also breathe out of the same nostril with the eldest grandson fat man?" ”

Li Shiji was not angry, and completely treated Cheng Biting Jin as air, at this time, Chi Gong, the black charcoal head captain, also came up and said: "Old Cheng, they know about selling Guanzi all day long, what do you ask them to do?" ”

Just opposite them, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda, Hou Junji and other ministers also got together, but the topic they talked about was the Xiaoyao Marquis who was personally sealed by Li Ermajesty yesterday.

Among all the titles of the Tang Dynasty, this Xiaoyao Marquis is definitely a special existence, first of all, Li Er Majesty only gave a mansion, and there was no reward in addition to this, but he was given a lot of privileges, such as being able to enter and leave the palace at will, not having to obey anyone's orders, not having to go to court, not caring about things, etc.; secondly, when he was sealed, he couldn't find Xiaoyao Hou himself; The most shocking thing is Li Erma's sentence "Seeing Xiaoyao Hou is like seeing me", that is to say, Xiaoyao Hou is equivalent to one person and more than 10,000 people.

For this reason, Wei Zheng quarreled with Li Ermaxi at the court meeting, but he still failed to change Li Erma's original intention, and Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji, and Li Shiji, the three important ministers, surprisingly did not object, and it has been a day, and he is still a little angry.

"Wei Guogong (Fang Xuanling), I heard that you have seen that Xiaoyao Hou, do you also think that this person deserves this title?"

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Lord Wei, I'm afraid that this title Xiaoyao Hou may not be eye-catching, and you will know His Majesty's good intentions in a while." ”

"You mean, His Majesty Xià left the palace this time for the sake of the Xiaoyao Marquis?"

Kong Yingda stroked his beard and said: "Don't say whether this Marquis Xiaoyao is talented or not, just say that when His Majesty gave him the title, he couldn't find anyone, it is enough to see that he is arrogant, what is the use of this person in my Tang Dynasty?" ”

"Okay, let's not talk about Xiaoyaohou, otherwise we will definitely be unhappy if Your Majesty knows about it."

Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly in his heart, that Xiaoyao Hou is an immortal, how can you find it if you want to? Even if you find Xiaoyao Hou himself, you don't have to give him a title, wouldn't it be very faceless when the time comes?

Li Erma's Xià is to give the title while the Marquis Xiaoyao is away, and even if the Marquis Xiaoyao does not want this title in the future, he will not move it to the bright side.

In addition, Li Erma's decision not to publicize the identity of Xiaoyao Hou is also considered, mainly because the identity of Xiaoyao Hou is too illusory, and the planting results of those high-yield crops have not yet come out, which is not enough to convince people, Wei Zheng knows that he still bothers him every day?

What's more, there are also certain political means in this, and when those high-yield crops are planted to bear fruit, coupled with the identity of the Marquis of Xiaoyao, who in the world dares to oppose him? After all, he grabbed the throne, and although he has worked hard in the past few years, there are still discordant voices inside and outside the court.

At three o'clock, Li Erma's carriage finally slowly drove out of the Suzaku Gate, and the ministers immediately stopped talking about worshiping the mountain, and then angrily rode on a high-headed horse and went away.

A long dragon walked out of Chang'an City along Zhuque Street, and finally arrived at the destination Jingyang, which is the trial planting place for high-yield crops.

Li Er's majesty has been here more than ten times in private, and this time he not only brought the ministers, but also the eldest grandson queen, the crown prince Li Chengqian, and the princess Li Lizhen, and the purpose of this visit is to let all the ministers witness the yield of these high-yield crops.

The officials and people of Jingyang, as well as the forbidden army guarding here, have already stood and waited solemnly, Li Er Majesty is in a very good mood today, and immediately exempted everyone's gifts, and then led everyone straight to a cornfield.

Looking at the corn stalks that are more than one person high, and then looking at the huge corn cobs, the eyes of the ministers suddenly lit up, this should be the high-yield crop mentioned by His Majesty.

An incense altar had already been set up next to the cornfield, and after Li Er Majesty took the ministers to burn incense and pray, he directly reached out and broke off a golden corn cob, and gave an order: "Come on, harvest!" ”

A group of soldiers of the forbidden army rushed into the cornfield to break corn cobs, looking at the corn cobs that gradually piled up like a hill in front of the incense altar, many ministers were so excited that they burst into tears.

Li Erqi saw that the atmosphere was almost there, and then said with a smile: "All the Qing are looking at it with wide eyes, this is the corn brought by Xiaoyao Hou, the yield per mu is as high as seven stones, as for how to eat it, I have already ordered someone to prepare, and everyone can taste it in a while." ”

The ministers woke up and knelt on the ground one by one, shouting: "Your Majesty, God bless me Datang......"

At this time, Wei Zheng touched his tears again and said: "Your Majesty, even if the Marquis of Xiaoyao offers this thing, it is not enough to seal the Marquis, please think twice!" ”

"You, you...... What do you want me to say?

If it weren't for Wei Zheng's loyalty, Li Erma really wanted to kick him a few times, and then pull down and hit the thirty boards, but he was not afraid and wanted to say more, but fortunately he was stopped by Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Zhongqing will follow me to the rice field in front of me to have a look!"

Li Er Majesty didn't bother to pay attention to Wei Zheng, flicked his sleeves and led everyone to walk forward again, and Empress Eldest Sun followed closely behind, and persuaded him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, when Lord Wei sees other crops, he should have nothing to say." ”

"Guanyin, I'm not angry!"

The ministers came to the rice field for trial planting, looking at the heavy ears of rice, and they were inexplicably excited in their hearts, when will the rice be able to grow in Guanzhong.

"This rice was also brought by Xiaoyaohou, and the yield per mu is also seven stones."

Looking at Wei Zheng, who was staring at the boss with two eyes, Li Erma strode to a green space and said in a loud voice: "This field is planted with potatoes, which can be planted for two seasons a year, with a yield of thirty stones per mu, and it is no longer empty talk that there will be no hunger in the world." ”

"What, thirty stones?"

The exclamations came one after another, and two old ministers even staggered to the ground, Cheng Biting Jin and Wei Chigong were even more excited and rushed to Li Er's side, glaring at the beads of his eyes and saying: "Your Majesty, don't scold us!" ”

Just as Li Er's majesty was about to call someone to excavate, a few exclamations suddenly came from the distance: "Father, father, help...... The royal sister fell into the water, help......"

"What ......"
