Tao Yuanming and other celebrities left behind the bad problems, what not to bend for five buckets of rice, what to pick chrysanthemums under the east fence. It seems that being an official for the court is to touch the dark for a scholar, and the more knowledgeable he is, the more disdainful he is to be an official, what a problem!

But the most infuriating thing is not this, but some guys who think they are suave, dissatisfied with the official positions assigned by the court, simply throw down their black gauze hats and leave. waited until he entered the deep mountains, and then he whimpered and said that he had never met him.

Li Chengqian felt that if he met such a person, he would only throw him with a big mouth.

The Quyuan plough is indeed a sharp tool for cultivation, at least after the emperor ploughed the ditch, the queen did not even sow half of the seeds.

Although sowing seeds was the queen's job, Li Chengqian still went over to help as soon as possible. The eldest grandson did not refuse, after all, this is filial piety.

Li Taipei was sweating, and when he sat on the ground and drank water, he couldn't help but say to Li Chengqian: "Brother Huang, those bastards in the engineering college don't know how to take the Quyuan plow and change it again, and combine several kinds of work together?" If you complete the furrowing, sowing seeds, and cultivating the soil in one trip, you don't know how much effort you can save. ”

"You're right, Qingque, it looks like you'll have another job in a few days. As long as you make this thing, you will definitely get praise from all over the world. ”

Although Li Tai said this out of being lazy, Li Chengqian still praised him. Things such as steam engines and oil-fired engines seem to be great inventions, but in the final analysis, they are made for laziness.

So, in fact, people's lazy thinking is also a huge incentive for scientific progress.

Li Shimin was also drinking water, and when he heard that the prince arranged for Qingque to go to the engineering college, he wanted to say a few words. But seeing that Li Tai happily began to tell his thoughts, he didn't say anything more.

The royal cultivated land was cultivated in just one morning, so Li Shimin gave the vacant Quyuan plough to Qin Qiong to use. Li Chengqian and Li Tai were also sent to Li Daozong to help.

Qin Qiong and Li Daozong were the first two of Zhenguan's courtiers to go downhill. Both of them are military generals, but as military generals, they can't go into battle and can't kill the enemy, what's the difference between them and waste?

Because of this, it is not one or two who covet the two families. However, at today's spring ploughing ceremony, seeing the emperor's attitude towards these two families, many ill-intentioned people honestly gave up their ideas.

After finishing the field, the emperor walked to Chang'an, surrounded by the guards. The emperor has been plowing for a year or two, and there will be many people who can't resist their curiosity and come to take a peek.

Three or four years passed, and everyone got used to it.

"The emperor is very concerned about agricultural affairs and cares about the people" This sentence was deeply imprinted in the hearts of the people.

The emperor returned to the palace, and Li Chengqian took Li Tai back to the academy together.

The appearance of Qu Yuanli once again made the College of Engineering show its face in the court.

Sinong Siqing jumped up and down to ask for credit to the Institute of Engineering, and whoever dared to come out to oppose it, he would spit on it. In his opinion, the research on the Quyuan plow, a sharp tool for benefiting the people and the country, cannot be praised by the School of Engineering.

Li Shimin naturally kept his promise, and in addition to letting Sinong Siqing act as an angel and personally send a decree to commend him, he also incorporated Zhenguan Academy, like Guozijian, into the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

A large box of official clothes was sent to the academy, and along with the official papers, there was also an official uniform.

In the conference room of the academy, the old gentlemen were furious at Li Chengqian's private decision to merge the academy into the imperial court, but when the official arrived, they couldn't wait to look at it.

"Doctor Zhongsan on the fifth grade, it's already very good."

Yang Du is very satisfied with his grade, although this five-grade loose official position may be a preferential treatment given by the imperial court for his age, but once he teaches in the academy, he can be promoted with five grades, which is already very good. Many officials have worked hard all their lives, but they may not be able to reach this height.

"The prince washes the horse? How do you break this again...."

Yao Silian glanced at Li Chengqian, but he didn't say everything in the end.

Li Gang's official position of "Prince and Prince" has also been updated, because the official title of the gentleman to whom the academy belongs is marked with the name of Zhenguan College.

"It's very good, the old man and others have spent their lives, and they can get a court doctor under the five grades, and it is not in vain!"

Fang Xiaoquan smiled and put his official seal in his arms, didn't say anything more, and left the conference room after strolling.

The rest of the old gentlemen are also very satisfied, there is no difference in treatment in the imperial court, as long as they are old, they are all on the fifth grade, and a few are in good health, although they are under the fifth grade, but it is nothing.

Compared with the main college of honor and disgrace, the School of Engineering can be described as crying and shaking the sky. They were originally ordinary craftsmen, not to mention being praised by the emperor, even when they saw the emperor, they were all smoking from the ancestral tomb. Now, as the minister of the decree, Sinong Siqing not only brought rewards, but most importantly, he also made the head of the blacksmith and the head of the carpenter official.

Although it is an official position in the prison system, it is enough to glorify the ancestors. The rewards of those possessions are nothing compared to them.

Li Tai in the room was studying the structure of the Quyuan plow, and when he heard the crying outside, he couldn't help but pout.

It's just a plough, and when this king transforms it, it will definitely brighten your eyes!

Closing the door so as not to interfere with his work, Li Tai took out a piece of paper and began to conceive the design drawing. He likes the feeling of making something in his head, and the thrill of racking his brain, coming to a whim, and solving a difficult problem in a desperate situation.

Since the throne is destined to be the eldest brother's, why can't Lao Tzu do what he wants?

The brothers have been together for so long, Li Tai thinks that he is not blind, and the eldest brother really treats him as a younger brother, as long as he is not provoked by those fools, even if the eldest brother becomes the emperor, his own prince can be happy and happy.

Thinking of this, Li Tai smiled and instructed his chief of guard, if the subordinate officials of the Wei Wangfu came over, they would drive them away! The management of fiefdoms, how can there be a study of agriculture is meaningful!

At the same time, Li Ke was also on the stadium of the college, leading the students of the college to keep fit. He likes to manage a large number of people, especially this kind of work that requires him to set an example for his subordinates. After a long period of exercise, he has an extraordinary physique. Even if you carry a 30-pound sandbag, you can still talk and laugh with the students who are running together.

Even now, his dream of becoming a general has not been shattered. Since he was a child, he was instilled with countless self-preservation ideas by his mother, and he knew very well that as long as his father was on the throne and his eldest brother did not become the emperor, he, a prince who was born vigilant, could not show the slightest desire for power.

Maybe....

Looking up in the direction of the office building, Li Ke smiled self-deprecatingly. He had a trace of luck in his heart, perhaps, this benevolent brother would meet his extravagant hopes! Obviously not a brother, but Li Ke clearly felt his brother's tolerance. He really treats himself as his own brother!

In an age when the forces of nature can still suppress humans, winter can make people lazy and reluctant to go out for various reasons. When spring arrives, you can enjoy the outdoors.

Also affected by the four seasons is Mr. Li Gang, in the winter, his old man does not know the taste of food and sleep, but now that the weather has warmed up, he looks much more energetic.

I like to be pushed around the college by Li Chengqian, and I am happy to see the students studying hard in the glass window of the classroom door. Even if a mischievous noble child accidentally breaks the glass, he will not be overly reprimanded.

Now the emperor basically doesn't care about the whereabouts of the crown prince, and since the spy he sent to protect Li Chengqian was caught and beaten by the soldiers led by the prince himself, and almost killed, he no longer worries about safety. It's just that before each court meeting, Li Chengqian will still be notified to return to Chang'an early and participate on time.

The court in the Zhenguan period was relatively healthy, there were no ministers who covered the sky with one hand, the civil and military were divided, and the chief officials of the six ministries were always rotated. The chief officer and adjutant supervised each other, coupled with the supervision of the Imperial Historical Observatory, there was basically no corruption or bribery, and there was no bending the law for personal gain.

At the beginning of the Wude period, Pei Lin was regarded as covering the sky with one hand, and for Liu Wenjing, who did not deal with him, he could even directly splash dirty water and frame him to death. But if the same situation were to be placed in the Zhenguan Dynasty, it would not have happened.

Li Shimin is conceited, conceited to the point that he is unwilling to be cunning and stooge, as long as he has the merit of following the dragon, even if he is not famous like Yu Tai, he has also mixed up with the title of earl. Some officials had ulterior motives to impeach the eldest grandson Wuji, and he directly handed the recital to the eldest grandson Wuji's hand to show that the monarch and the ministers had no suspicions.

In addition, in order to fight against the traditional wealthy families, Li Shimin deliberately helped the emerging nobles, as long as the benefits could be distributed to his subordinates, he would not be stingy at all, which led to the early stage of the Zhenguan Dynasty, and the upper and lower levels were peaceful.

As long as the imperial court is stable and the frontier is stable, it is only a matter of time before the arrival of the prosperous era.

Feeling at Li Shimin's bearing, Zhenguan was reluctant to go to Beijing for Hajj in the early years, but only sent his son to the court to express his heart, and asked to enter Beijing for Hajj in May.

Upon learning of this news, Li Shimin immediately approved the performance and allowed Feng Ang to go north.

The five wealthy families have lost one after another, and they will not become a problem for the time being, and the last anti-king of Liang Guo and Liang Shidu has ended.

The gentry clan in Jiangnan has always been easy to control, and in the face of those in power, they have no second way to go except to submit.

It can be said that the biggest unstable factor in today's Datang is only Lingnan.

Because of Wei Zheng's advice, Li Shimin did not use troops against Lingnan, nor did he send officials there, so it is said that Lingnan is in the Tang Dynasty, which is considered to be a good match.

Now that Feng Ang has entered Beijing, the last rumors about Lingnan have been self-defeating, indicating that the imperial court will be able to restore control over a large area of Lingnan without spending a single soldier.

Feng Zhidai was most pleased with Feng An's entry into Beijing, he was full of poetry and books in the academy, and as long as the printing workshop printed a book, he would collect one, and asked Li Gang to allow him to print a large number of books before leaving, so that he could transport the classics of the Central Plains to Lingnan.

Educate the world, Li Gang is naturally happy to agree.

However, in this peaceful environment, the envoy to the Western Turks brought back an infuriating news.

It's not that the alliance didn't succeed, it's not that the Western Turks repented and were unwilling to marry a princess in the Central Plains.

But....

"100 cows, 10,000 sheep, 300 good horses? It's just like that when you pay tribute, isn't this special mother's white wolf with empty gloves? ”

After the dispersal of the dynasty, at the back door of the Taiji Palace, after learning about the "dowry" of the Western Turks from Tang Jian's mouth, Li Chengqian suddenly cried and laughed.

"Weichen didn't expect that the Western Turks would pull down their subordinates to do such a thing, in fact, as long as you look at the princesses sent by the Western Turks, it is not difficult to understand why they did this."

I hate Tang Jian's pretentious appearance, although it is about his future little wife, but Li Chengqian just doesn't ask.

Later, I will enter the harem and come to my mother, and see that you are still not like this!

Like Li Chengqian, Lu Kuan didn't ask any more questions, and after passing the Liangyi Gate, he began to walk with his head down.

It involves the matter of the prince's side concubine, so Tang Jian will be allowed to enter the harem. Since the Taiji Hall resumed the role of the council hall, the Liangyi Gate has become the access control place of the harem. If the courtiers wanted to visit the emperor, they had to report it first. The only one who can ignore the access control of the Liangyi Gate, enter the harem directly, and sign up at the Ganlu Hall where the emperor stays is Fang Xuanling. As for those who can go directly into the emperor's bedroom without even reporting, only the eldest grandson Wuji.

Because he got the news early, at the gate of the Liangyi Palace, the eldest grandson was already waiting here.

In addition to Tang Jian, Lu Kuan, and Li Chengqian, the people who saw it stretched out their hands and nodded, indicating that they were very angry.

Li Chengqian smiled, and could only be cheeky and continue to walk forward.

At this time, the marriage event pays attention to the words of the parents, and even the work of writing the wedding invitation is the father and brother, and the marriage parties only need to get married and drink, and finally enter the cave room and it is over. If you dare to say a word or two, you will be blamed. This is the so-called arranged marriage, many men and women, only when they are in the cave house, will know what their other half looks like.

Li Shimin also dealt with the twists and turns in the Liangyi Palace, although he usually had to live in the Ganlu Palace, but he usually relied more on the Liangyi Palace. Occasionally, the concubine who is fortunate to say goodbye has to be driven out by the eldest grandson. The emperors and queens of the past dynasties got along harmoniously, there were very few Qin Se and Ming, and the eldest grandson and Li Shimin were a couple.

After entering the Liangyi Hall and sitting down to share tea, Tang Jian immediately said: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, the princess sent by the Western Turks this time is named Ashnahar. Wechen asked a lot of Western Turkic merchants and prisoners of war, and finally learned that she was not the biological son of Ye Hu, but a certain defeated nobleman. It is precisely because he is not his own child that Ye Hu will reduce his dowry so unscrupulously, because he doesn't care how our Datang treats this princess. ”

The richness of the dowry is the face of the bride, like the five wealthy families who make money by marrying their daughters, but when they marry, the dowry will definitely not be less, because it is related to the face of the family.

The Wild Leaf Protector is worthy of its name, and it is so unscrupulous, you must know that this is not a question of whether you are biological or not, but a matter of a country's face. The dowry of the Tang Dynasty seems to be all things like tea, porcelain, and silk, but the comprehensive value will not be less than 50,000 yuan, not to mention the ranch that cannot be measured by price.

As a result, that's it?

"The Western Turks are so perfunctory, it seems that they have seen through our meaning. But anyway, we don't need many reliable allies. Just like Xue Yantuo, although he promised to send troops to attack the Eastern Turks as an ally, after we took over the land of the Western Turks, we strengthened the defensive line. Oh, allies, it's just a name! When we are strong, we will be allies with anyone, and if the Central Plains is weak, hehe..."

Li Shimin's words were not finished, but several people knew what would happen if the Central Plains weakened.

At the beginning, the officials of Honglu Temple were sent to sign the covenant as representatives, which was actually an excuse left by the Tang Dynasty. Just an official, there is no need to bother, as long as he is deposed in name, the covenant will naturally have no effect.

The eldest grandson never interfered in the affairs of the court, and even if an official came to the Liangyi Hall to negotiate, she would avoid it. But this matter involves the crown prince, so he has the qualifications to speak.

Seeing that the three of them were chatting enthusiastically, she patted Li Chengqian's arm and said with a smile: "How about it, Chengqian, your side concubine, you don't like your mother's family very well!" ”

Li Chengqian smiled: "Queen Mother, no matter what, she is married in name, although she has never met, but if she wants her son to bully a weak woman, her son is not proud." Since her mother's family doesn't want to see her, it's just that her sons treat her well. As a side concubine, she is still a Turk, she is not qualified to covet the position of the main concubine, even if she has a child, she is not qualified to be a prince. Now that she has come to Datang, let her spend her life in peace, that is. ”

The eldest grandson nodded, satisfied with his son's answer.

Now what happened to this Western Turkic princess reminded her of her own time.

He and the eldest grandson Wuji were kicked out of the house by the eldest grandson Anye, and in the end it was her maternal uncle Gao Shilian who sent her out as her mother's family, and the one who carried her out of the house should have been the eldest brother, but the eldest grandson Wuji did it for him.

I thought that my life was bumpy, and it was the same after I got married. Who would have thought that his husband was a man who stood up to the sky, not only gave himself the best treatment, but even if he became the emperor now, he never lost a little bit of love. As a vassal woman, it is easy to become miserable.

The three of them were still discussing how to reply to the Western Turks, and Li Chengqian was reluctant to get involved, and when he was worried about what excuse he would use to escape, he saw Li Lizhi walking from behind the curtain with Li Zhi holding Wow Wow.

"Mother, mother, pheasant slave, he poked his hand."

Hearing her say this, the eldest grandson and Li Chengqian immediately stood up and hurried over to see the situation.

It is said to be a stab, but in fact it is just a small wound.

Alcohol, as a medicine that has been verified to be an excellent disinfectant, is naturally not lacking in the palace, Li Chengqian took a cloth stick, dipped it in alcohol to disinfect him, and then let the eldest grandson bandage him.

Compared with Li Tai, Li Zhi is much more stupid. Obviously he is now more than three years old, but he can't even speak.

I don't know how such a fool finally won the throne by lying down.
