Farming in the fields is a simple thing for farmers who work all year round, almost instinctively, but for the princes and nobles who are clothed and fed, it is a little difficult, however, there are also some officials from poor backgrounds, although they have not worked for many years, but they have not fallen into technology, at the beginning, the movements are a little clumsy, and slowly get better.

These officials, naturally, received Li Shimin's praise, praised for a moment, looked around at the surrounding situation, but found that there was no trace of Li Chengqian, and they were immediately a little displeased, after all, as the crown prince, the future emperor, at such a moment of great significance, how could he not set an example and set a good example.

Hearing Li Shimin's inquiry, a few close attendants next to him hurriedly looked around, looking for Li Chengqian's figure, the imperial field is not big, just nearly a thousand acres, well, compared to the Son of Heaven who sits in the world, it is indeed not big, divided into eight fields, here is one of them, nearly 100 acres, it is also spacious, but the civil and military officials who came with him, at least hundreds of nearly thousand, unkempt, for a while, but did not find Li Chengqian hiding somewhere, should it be going back?

At this time, no matter how reluctant you are in your heart, you have to be like this, everyone muttered secretly, although it is only a small section, but how can you be so unwise to see the big with the small, shaking their heads lightly, feeling that Li Chengqian should not be like this, some people have already prepared a draft and are ready to speak at any time, but some people choose to remain silent and wait to see the development of the situation.

There was such a movement, but Li Chengqian was not seen coming out, so it was obvious that he was not here, Li Shimin frowned and asked, "Qingque, do you know where Qian'er went?" ”

"Brother Huang? I was still here just now, why is it gone? Li Tai said strangely, shook his head blankly, and then continued to swing his hoe over the ground, and the dirt flew, but he didn't notice that there were a few more drops of mud at the corners of his robe and trousers, and the yellow color was in stark contrast with the clean brocade clothes.

Seeing Li Tai sweating on his forehead, Li Shimin smiled and said, "Qingque, if you are tired, just rest for a while." ”

"It's okay, Erchen can do it." Li Tai said with a smile, his body is getting fatter and fatter, he likes it, and rarely practices archery riding and archery, such a physique, wielding farm tools, is really difficult for him.

"Be careful, don't be reckless." Li Shimin said with concern, and then beckoned the civil and military officials to continue to plough the fields, unlike later generations, some people, just to the camera, just wave twice, the ancient emperors and generals, relatively more kind, really want to cultivate the field properly, and even plant seedlings until the autumn harvest.

Of course, during the period, there must be someone to take care of it, and it is not sloppy, maybe one day the emperor is interested, and he leads the court officials to rush to appreciate the fruits of his labor, and find that there is something wrong with it, and the end is unpredictable.

In fact, after Li Shimin and others go back, the officials who guard the imperial field will definitely organize people to cultivate the fields again, fill in what should be filled, and make up what should be made up.

For example, now, seeing that Li Shimin decided not to mention that Li Chengqian was not here, the courtiers and officials knew what to do, and some of them were not interesting, but they had to speak again afterwards.

After some hard work, after plowing 100 acres of fertile land, taking over the brocade cloth that was about to be served, Li Shimin gently wiped his sweat, drank two cups of palace secrets, very thirst-quenching soup, rested a little, but his mood was not very comfortable, he still frowned and considered, in previous years, Qian'er was not disgusted with farming, how has it changed this year?

"Father, what do you think of the action of the son just now? What needs to be improved? At this time, Li Tai walked over quickly, smiling and asking for advice with great interest.

"It's good, it's quite skilled, but it's a little less powerful." Li Shimin said with a smile: "Qingque, don't always save less food in the future, eat a few more meals, and you will become stronger." ”

"Sons remember the teachings of their father." Li Tai said with a smile, readily agreed, daring to love, father and son, there are some errors between the understanding of fat and strong and ordinary people.

"Father......" Li Ke also walked over from afar, his body was also dotted with mud stars, his handsome face had a few more black marks, and he seemed to be a little embarrassed, but he was full of energy and did not show a tired look.

"Ke'er is good." Li Shimin approvingly: "I have been farming for a long time, but I still have spare strength. ”

Li Ke hurriedly expressed his humility, his eyes glanced lightly, Li Tai looked at it at the right time, his eyes collided, and he moved away instantly.

At this moment, the eldest grandson Wuji walked leisurely, with a dough-like face, a happy smile, very kind, the clothes on his body were extremely neat, most of them were lazy just now, but people have such a ability, it is just lazy, and they dare to walk in front of Li Shimin openly and ask: "Your Majesty, it's not time, do you want to drive back to the palace?" ”

Li Shimin had a headache and sighed: "Paving machine, you look like this, it's not easy to explain to the hundred officials." ”

"Tell me what?" The eldest grandson Wuji has an innocent face, a real aristocratic child, and he can be used to describe his life, he is not diligent and does not distinguish between grains.

Li Shimin was speechless, in his opinion, there is really no need to explain anything, but those imperial historians don't think so, maybe there will be a lot of righteous and awe-inspiring twists and turns, and there are also Qian'er...... What is impeachment, in the past few years, in the court, up to the emperor, down to the scribes, who has not received this kind of treatment, after experiencing the "rebellion" incident, the eldest grandson Wuji has long ignored those remarks, with an indifferent attitude, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the hour is not early, it is estimated that the queen has set up a banquet in the palace and is waiting for His Majesty to go back." ”

Laughing helplessly, Li Shimin shook his head slightly and said, "It's still early, let's go back to the palace when Shen Shi comes." ”

Saying that, Li Shimin stood up, pulled the sleeve of the eldest grandson Wuji, and said with a smile: "Shop machine, it's rare to come back once, and you have to move more or less." Helpless, the eldest grandson Wuji had no choice but to accompany him, and under the leadership of Li Shimin, he moved to the field next to him.

Yutian is around the Huangzhuang, surrounded by guardrails, if you look down at the sky, you will find that these fields, according to the direction of the eight seals, the size is equal, the distance is similar, it should be the day after tomorrow processing, rest for a while, civil and military officials, just follow Li Shimin, around a small hill, ready to open up the second battlefield.

However, when they arrived at the top of the hill and looked down, everyone was stunned, only to see that in the fields below, there were several people ploughing, one leading the oxen, two people holding the plow, slowly turning the soil, and one fifth of the hundred acres of fertile land had been cultivated.

With sharp eyes and a clear look at several people, a close attendant whispered: "Your Majesty, it seems to be the crown prince......"

"Qian'er!"

As if a glimmer of joy passed, Li Shimin led the crowd downward, and in the distance, an official called: "Your Majesty has arrived." ”

Han Rui turned around, looked at it, and said softly, "His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty is here, let's stop for a while." ”

Li Chengqian did not object, wiped his face with a sweat towel, put it on his shoulders at will, showed a hearty smile, panted to meet him, and saluted and shouted: "Father." ”

"Qian'er, why are you here?" Li Shimin asked, looked at Li Chengqian carefully, and saw that his body and gorgeous clothes had been ruined, half dry and half wet, sweaty, and his exposed skin was dyed with a layer of gray, sweat dripping, and he washed a few whites, which was messy and even more messy.

"Seeing that my father and the ministers of the court were all crowded over there, the sons and daughters ran here." Li Chengqian smiled shyly: "I thought I could finish plowing this field, but I didn't think about it, so I only got a little, and I asked my father to come over to help." ”

"Yes, very good." Li Shimin smiled, patted Li Chengqian's shoulder, and said with a sigh: "Qian'er has grown up, and he knows that he is sharing his father's worries, and his father is relieved. ”

"This is the duty of the retainers." Li Chengqian's expression was a little excited, and he said in a trembling voice: "Besides, when he really farmed alone, his sons realized the suffering of the people. ”

"Good poetry, incisive." A Wenchen's eyes lit up slightly, and he praised it: "What is even more rare is that the prince has such an experience. ”

"Your Majesty, the crown prince, such compassion for the peasants, it is really a blessing for the people of the world." After all, Li Chengqian, as the crown prince, if he can successfully ascend the throne in the future, remember the words of today, and pursue the policy of doing good deeds to the people, not only the Tang Dynasty is stable, but it is indeed a blessing for the people.

Li Shimin stroked his beard with a smile and asked in a harmonious voice: "Qian'er, did you do this poem?" ”

Knowing Li Chengqian's level, Li Shimin was inevitably a little suspicious, and there was someone next to him.

Sure enough, Li Chengqian hurriedly shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not Erchen, it's the work of Han Xiaoshu." ”

I had already guessed that some officials showed unexpected expressions, Han Rui hurriedly stood up and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty doesn't dare to take credit, but when you see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince working hard and sweating like rain, I was touched and I was able to write a poem." ”

"Well, Qian'er has really worked hard." Li Shimin smiled approvingly, groaned, and instructed: "After returning to the palace, this poem of compassion for agriculture will be sent to all prefectures and counties, so that local officials can remember the suffering of the people." ”

"Your Majesty." There were bursts of voices, even those ministers who disdained flattery also nodded secretly, feeling that Li Shimin's decision was not wrong, but it was a fulfillment of Han Rui, and he was not far from the world-shattering name.

Shi Ye, Yun Ye, I can't envy you, you have the ability, you are also the first classic, but even if you make it, you have already passed this village, and there is no such shop.

After some praise, everyone began to get busy again, but some officials were not in a good mood, after all, after thinking about the draft for a long time, they finally found that it was not needed, and it was also a very depressing thing, but in any case, it also indirectly proved that the prince was virtuous, and it was beneficial to the people of the court, and it was also worth it.

Seeing the two emperors and princes, cooperating with tacit understanding in driving cattle and plowing the land, thinking of such as today's peace, in the hearts of some old ministers of the former dynasty, silently thinking, the Son of Heaven is working hard, the national strength is steaming, the prince is virtuous, the house is benevolent, and sympathetic to the people, this time, it should not be repeated.
