Chapter 104: A Ploughshare Sharpened Like Mud

Linghu Dedi walked in front of Li Shimin with a feeling of seeing death as home, and he thought in his heart that if the national program was not right, someone would risk death to admonish.

The crown prince must have the dignity of the crown prince, and now the crown prince not only disregards the agricultural time to make iron and steel, but also mingles with craftsmen in front of hundreds of civil and military officials.

As he walked forward, Ling Hu Dedi thought in his heart that he would be glorious in the future, and felt that what he was doing now was a very sacred thing.

If his advice can correct the national program, then he is a person who has made meritorious contributions to the society.

In just a few steps, Hu Dedi's demeanor became more solemn and solemn as he walked, and finally came to Li Shimin like a pious believer on a pilgrimage.

Li Shimin, who had been admonished by the minister for a long time, knew what he was going to do as soon as he saw his demeanor walking this way, and suddenly felt a headache, and when he hadn't figured out how to deal with it, he saw Linghu Dedi and solemnly bowed to the courtesy.

Li Shimin couldn't lie on the recliner anymore, so he sat up straight and looked at Linghu Dedi and said, "What does Linghuqing's family have to Chen Zuo?"

Hearing this, Hu Dedi said in a sonorous voice like a crack: "What Your Majesty wants to play is a major event that endangers the country's main society. ”

Li Shimin saw that he was talking about a big deal, and said seriously: "The Qing family will play first." When the other bored ministers of civil and military affairs heard this, they all focused their attention on this side.

Seeing this, Ling Hu Dedi paid more attention to this matter, shook his head and continued: "A few days ago, I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually mobilized nearly 10,000 people to go up the mountain to mine every day in order to make steel, and the fields in Guanzhong were barren this spring because no one cultivated them. The minister thought that at this time, it was the time of spring planting and farming, and the people should be released in the fields to do the things of crops, so as to plant in spring and harvest in autumn. He said that many people who were born in Guanzhong and were worried because they could not find a short-term job suddenly realized that at this time in previous years, those untouchables who had nothing came to the door early, and this year they sent their families to find them, but they did not find a few.

It's just that after the New Year, I just started to turn over the ground, and everyone didn't care about it for a while, but at this time, when I heard that people were being detained by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make steel here, many people who originally watched the play suddenly felt the pain of Chefu.

Unconsciously stood on Linghu Dedi's side.

Linghu Dedi didn't know how many allies he had, and he was still saying to Li Shimin: "The minister went to the East Palace to admonish, but he never thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was actually bewitched by the prince and the Taibao, not only refused the old minister's upright advice, but instead intensified his efforts to invite His Majesty and hundreds of officials to come here to watch the art of iron smelting, which is really the ......extreme of putting the cart before the horse. ”

Everyone looked at the eldest grandson Wuji in puzzlement when they heard it, wondering what he did when he encouraged Li Chengqian to act so perversely?

The eldest grandson Wuji was also very depressed, when he designed it yesterday, he never thought that Li Chengqian would pit him in front of the Xuanwu Gate in front of hundreds of officials.

The original plan was that no matter how angry the officials were at this time, they should have gone at Li Chengqian.

Feeling the gaze of everyone, Changsun Wuji wanted to say the set of words he had thought of when he came, say it in public, and then kicked the question to Li Chengqian, because he knew that Li Chengqian would not easily stop his iron-making workshop.

But I heard Ling Hude still talking.

What's more, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, with the respect of the crown prince, actually joined these craftsmen.

In this way, not only is it mistaken and sometimes out of order, but in the long run, I am afraid that the country will not be a country!

The crown prince is the heir to the East Palace, and the people rely on him, and his actions are all related to the rise and fall of the country.

The minister asked His Majesty to immediately issue a strict decree to reprimand His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, stop the general affairs of iron smelting, and the upbringing of Yan Dong, and invite a wise man to teach in the East Palace.

Then the world is very prosperous, and the society is very prosperous! Linghu Dedi actually shed tears in the end.

The civil and military officials below were also surging in emotion, and they all followed: "Yes, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should study and study politics in the East Palace, how can he take care of the affairs himself!" “

……

……

Everyone gossiped to Li Shimin, Li Shimin listened silently from beginning to end and did not make a decision easily, after all, this is related to the prestige of the crown prince, and he doesn't want to rebel in front of Wei Zhengmen again.

But after thinking about it, I also feel that what Linghu Dedi said has some truth, when Changsun Wuji invited him yesterday, he just said that Cheng Qian led the victims to make iron-making tools can make Guanzhong's agriculture prosperous, and I don't want to think that it is already agricultural time at this time, and it is indeed too late to make iron-making now and miss this year's spring.

It's the prince who is also kind, but he doesn't understand general affairs, so he can't be punished for this.

Li Shimin turned his head to look at the eldest grandson Wuji, he wanted the eldest grandson Wuji to take all the responsibility.

Although he knew that the eldest grandson Wuji only went to Pingzhang Courtyard yesterday morning, but after all, this matter has something to do with you, and you are Chengqian's uncle and the prince Taibao, if the prince makes a mistake, you don't take responsibility, who will take responsibility?

The eldest grandson Wuji saw Li Shimin's gaze and immediately understood Li Shimin's thoughts, glanced at Li Shimin with resentment in his eyes, and then pretended to be extremely sad and walked out and waved at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked at him expressionlessly, waiting for him to finish today's matter.

"Your Majesty's affairs have nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Prince, it is the fault of the minister, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent people to mine and make iron because he saw that many farmers did not have farm tools at home, and the minister was also sick and confused these days, and he forgot that the agricultural time had come, and he almost missed the agricultural time and made a big mistake, please punish Your Majesty." The eldest grandson Wuji turned over his words with emotion, and he blamed himself even more on his face.

Li Shimin and most of the officials present knew that Li Chengqian didn't know which tendon was wrong, and he was looking for the stubble of the eldest grandson Wuji all day long, for example, this time the eldest grandson Wuji's illness was known to many people to be angry with Li Chengqian.

Now seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji came forward to take responsibility for Li Chengqian, they all sympathize with the eldest grandson Wuji.

Li Shimin didn't want to pursue it originally, but now after listening to the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, he pushed the boat along the river and said: "Then stop all the iron-making here, and let the people go back to the fields so as not to miss the farming time." ”

"Obey." The eldest grandson Wuji directly agreed for Li Chengqian.

At this time, Li Shimin also felt bored, looked at the ministers and said, "Then all the ministers will go back today." As he spoke, he was about to get up and leave, but he never saw Li Chengqian in the crowd, thinking that he was hiding and couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

"Wait, Your Majesty, please listen to the minister!" Hao Chujun, who had just watched the molten iron poured into the open hearth, squeezed in from behind.

In fact, except for Hao Chujun, the other ministers of the East Palace are here, especially Zhu Suiliang and Yan Shigu should have spoken a long time ago, but they are the same as the ministers, although they believe that Li Chengqian is kind, but they all feel a little unprioritized about the current iron-making and building farm tools.

Only Hao Chujun was here last night watching them make iron, and he knew how amazing Li Chengqian's complete assembly line process capacity was.

Hao Chujun was originally just a six-grade Chongxian Pavilion straight bachelor, but now although he was ordered by Li Shimin to be named a scholar of Chongjiao Palace, but firstly, he came for a short time, and secondly, they were mainly in Pingzhang Academy, and outsiders had not seen him, and many ministers who stood up at this time did not know him.

Seeing that a young man suddenly came out and wanted to speak for Li Chengqian, Ling Hu Dedi reprimanded with a calm face without waiting for Hao Chujun to approach: "The ministers are talking here, how can you speak as a small official." ”

Hao Chujun ignored him and walked straight in front of Li Shimin to salute.

Li Shimin knew that he was speaking for Li Chengqian, and liked him to be loyal, so he smiled and said, "What does Master Hao have to say?"

As soon as everyone saw Li Shimin's cordial demeanor, they all accepted their contempt.

Li Shimin has also investigated in various aspects in the past few days, and learned about the cases of these Pingzhang Yuan's various houses, and he still admires them, especially the young Hao Chujun and Li Yifu, thinking that these can be left to Li Chengqian's courtiers.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Linghu sacrifices wine and Uncle Changsun Guo, without understanding the situation here, it is too arbitrary to ask Your Majesty to stop the iron-making workshop here, if the state affairs are dealt with in this way, it is simply a misguided country and a misguided ......"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, this young man not only directly ordered Hu Dedi and Changsun Wuji to be wrong, but also called Changsun Wuji the uncle of Changsun Guo, this is to make him a relative, and Changsun Wuji must hate him to death.

Li Shimin was a little displeased when he heard that he directly lectured the two old ministers as soon as he opened his mouth, and asked lightly: "What is the basis for you to say this?"

Hearing this, Hao Chujun turned around and said loudly: "Lift up the plow made yesterday." ”

Everyone looked behind them when they heard this, and Li Shimin also sat down again, waiting to see if Hao Chujun had anything good to come up with.

After a while, I saw several strong men carrying five baskets coming over, and when they approached, the ministers saw that they were filled with several plowshares with bright silver shine, and they all gasped.

No one has ever seen a plowshare made of such fine steel.

As soon as Li Shimin saw such a good steel, he stood up and walked to the basket and stretched out his hand to pick up a handful, his eyes lit up, and he gently stroked the mold with his hand, the edge of the plowshare, and raised it for a long time and said, "Take a knife!" ”

An attendant hurriedly took a slender glittering knife from a distant guard.

Li Shimin took the long knife, grabbed the plow tightly with one hand, and gently held the long knife with the other.

The Wen Baiguan standing next to him all widened his eyes and watched with bated breath, his eyes not blinking, for fear of missing the moment when the knife and plow were facing each other.

There was a soft "click", and the cold and shining Tang knife broke in response.

There was a gasp of cold air all around.

Everyone looked at the plow in Li Shimin's hand in shock.

This is a plowshare that sharpens iron like clay!

After a while, Li Shimin raised his head, looked at Hao Chujun with wide eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "You guys just use such a good steel to cast hoes?"

Hao Chujun was also stunned, he was ordered to personally supervise them here yesterday to make iron, steel, and cast plowshares, all he wanted was to cast the plowshares today, so as not to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lose people, and no one thought of trying the sharpness of the plowshares.

Seeing a good long knife, it was broken in two with a slight knock, and I also felt that it was a bit violent to be a plowshare.

When asked by Li Shimin, several generals stared at each other and muttered speechless.

"Your Majesty, these should be changed into swords, but you can make several good swords!" Hou Junji rubbed his hands excitedly.

"Your Majesty's plough is changed to a sword, and you can't do it!" When Gao Jifu saw that Li Shimin was moved, he hurriedly spoke.

"This ......" Li Shimin hesitated, he is a person who wants to serve your King Wen of Zhou, everyone has swords and soldiers into Kuma and put Nanshan, if he changes the plow into a sword today......

But don't change such a good steel ......

"Your Majesty don't be embarrassed, the furnace is still being smelted, it's all such good steel.

In the future, it will be open to refine as much as you want! "Su Dingfang, as a subordinate official of the East Palace, is also a military general, so he naturally hopes to refine more such good steel.

"Your Majesty is in the agricultural season at this time, and it is really not appropriate to let nearly 10,000 people make steel here!" Yu Zhining's side has been urged several times by several Guanzhong clan masters, they are really afraid that Li Chengqian has been making steel here, and he will not let those disasters go back to them to do short-term work.

Hearing their argument here, Li Shimin and the hearts of the generals had already flown under the steel-making shed, but they couldn't get by surrounded by everyone.

In desperation, I suddenly heard someone over there shouting excitedly: "Big brother! Eldest brother! This time, it's steel, so let's cast a long knife for me first! ”

Listening to the voice, it was Li Su, the king of Shu, Li Shimin couldn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly separated the crowd and ran to the steelmaking furnace......
