Chapter 547:-for-tat (I)

()

The Quyuan plough is a farm tool that only appeared in the late Tang Dynasty, and in the early Tang Dynasty, the plough commonly used by farmers was still the straight plow.

Compared with the curved plough that conforms to mechanics, the straight plough is not only less effective in ploughing, but also very laborious for the person who plows the plow.

In order to earn fame for Li Shimin, and for his own plan to popularize the ox nose ring, Gao Ming used this thankless straight plow to plough the land for an afternoon, and he was already too tired to do it, and now he heard someone saying that he wanted to join him, and his face suddenly became ugly.

"Damn, I originally thought that today would be smooth and smooth, but I didn't expect that there would still be an eyeless jump out, the tiger is not powerful, you treat me as a sick cat?"

Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately sneered.

"Hmph, this lord, this cow nose ring is exactly my idea, and I also let people wear it, what are you going to do?"

"You ......"

Looking at Gao Ming's arrogant attitude, the official's tone suddenly froze, and then he turned around with an angry face, and then bowed to Li Shimin.

"Holy Lord, you also heard what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said just now, this kind of behavior is really a loss of virtue, and I hope that the Holy Lord will learn from it!"

As soon as his words fell, he came out one after another, either to say that he was clever and cruel, or that he was virtuous and had a loss, and let Li Shimin deal with him.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Shimin's eyes widened - not because of surprise, but because of anger.

Li Shimin was very clear about the opposition to wearing a bull's nose ring from the beginning, and he also knew that it would cause some trouble.

In Li Shimin's opinion, even if someone will look for trouble, they should wait for them to return to the palace and then come to find trouble in the court, instead of looking for trouble in front of many people in this kind of public!

Hearing the whispers of the people around him, Li Shimin knew what the plans of these officials who came out to provoke the assassins were.

"These guys just do it on purpose!"

There is no doubt that if they succeed, even if the position of the prince will not be shaken by this, the blow to his prestige will be very serious.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin's face also became gloomy.

However, before Li Shimin could speak, Gao Ming, who was standing behind these officials, burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha, several adults said that I was cruel, and also said that I was a moral loss, nothing more than seeing this cow's nose strained and bleeding by the cow's nose ring, but do you know that this cow is a grassland cow, if you don't wear a nose ring, they can't plow the land well!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the people around him began to talk again.

"I thought this cow looked different from the beginning, it turned out to be a grassland cow, and the grassland cow couldn't plow the land at all!"

"I also know this, no wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to put this ring on it, I just said how can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be a brutal person!"

"It's just ......"

Seeing that the people's minds changed because of Gao Ming's words, the official who jumped out to find trouble at the first time suddenly frowned, and he arched towards Li Shimin again.

"Qi Qi Sheng, Wei Chen thinks that even if it is a grassland cattle, it may not be impossible to plough the land, just like what you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did before, one person is pulled in front, and the other person is driven behind, there is no need to use the brutal way of piercing the nose ring, please also ask the Holy Mingjian!"

Looking at his eloquent appearance, Li Shimin didn't know what to say, so he could only turn his gaze to Gao Ming.

Gao Ming had expected such a situation a long time ago, and when he saw Li Shimin looking at him, he grinned again.

"Hehe, I think what this adult said does have some truth, it just so happens that I also have a grassland cow here that doesn't wear a nose ring, why don't you ask this adult to go down to the field to demonstrate, if you can let it obediently plow the land without wearing a nose ring, it's also a good thing!"

"This ......"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the official was immediately stunned.

He just said that he didn't need to wear a nose ring to let the grassland cattle plow the land, which was nothing more than an excuse, but he didn't expect that as soon as his words fell, Gao Ming immediately made a grassland cow without a nose ring, which is too coincidental, right?

It always feels like there's a conspiracy!

Thinking of this, he instinctively felt that something was wrong for a while, but at this time, it was already difficult to ride a tiger, so he could only nod his head hard, and then arched towards Gao Ming.

"Dare to ask His Royal Highness the Prince, where is the prairie cow you said without a nose ring now?"

"Right here!"

Saying this, Gao Ming immediately beckoned in the direction behind him.

"Hey, bring another cow here!"

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, an answer suddenly sounded not far away, and it didn't take long for a soldier in armor to lead a cow over, which was the other of the two cows that Gao Ming had brought before.

Seeing that the cow was brought over, Gao Ming smiled at the official in front of him again.

"This kind-hearted adult, I originally planned to use this cow to wear a nose ring, but since you said that you don't need to wear a nose ring, then you can try it, I am looking forward to your performance!"

Speaking of this, Gao Ming handed the rope holding the ox to the official in front of him, and made a gesture of "please" to him.

Seeing this scene, the official also understood that he couldn't go to the ground, so he could only lead the cow to the ground.

Seeing that he was leading the ox down, Gao Ming immediately followed and went down, and put the plow he had unloaded just now on the ox again.

After setting it up, he beckoned to the others above the ridge.

"Hey, didn't you agree with him before? Now it's your turn, he's in charge of the oxen, who's going to help him with the plow? ”

"This ......"

Originally, this person wanted to retreat when he saw Gao Ming pull the cow out, but now when they heard Gao Ming's words, they also knew that it was difficult to ride a tiger now.

So you look at me, I look at you, and after a while a man is selected to go down the ridge and take charge of the plow.

After everything was ready, the official holding the ox followed the example that Li Shimin had done before, dragging the ox and preparing to move forward.

Under his drag, the newer suddenly "mooed", but he had no intention of leaving, but shrank his head, and let him drag him without moving.

Seeing this scene, the crowd of onlookers suddenly erupted in a burst of suppressed laughter.

As the saying goes, "there is no harm if there is no comparison", before Li Shimin and Gao Ming left as soon as they pulled the cow, and the father and son worked smoothly all afternoon, but now it is the turn of these two officials, but they can't even take the cow away.

Under such a huge contrast, the people naturally couldn't help laughing, but because of the identities of the two, they didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so they could only lower their voices and laugh.

The people were afraid of offending these two officials, but Gao Ming was not afraid, let alone let go of such a good meeting, he immediately made a trumpet shape and shouted at the two officials below the ridge.

"Two great adults, I, a cruel and morally deficient person, have been ploughing the land for an afternoon, if you can't even take away the cattle of the Confucian Qingliu and the benchmark of the moral world, won't you lose the face of the Confucian saint? Hard! Wow! ”

"Hahahaha......"

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, the crowd of onlookers broke out into laughter again.
