Volume 10 The Controversy of Buddhism and Taoism Chapter 33 Ploughing

The altar ceremony ended in a commotion, and this magical scene was engraved in everyone's hearts, and no one could forget the huge white tiger entrenched on the top of the altar, and the purple dragon that meandered and circled above the nine heavens. Everyone knelt on the ground when they saw it before, surrendering wholeheartedly, this is a legendary beast, definitely not a pig-like unicorn inlaid with gold leaf. They were actually lucky enough to be able to see it, it was simply the yin virtue that they had cultivated for eight lifetimes. And everyone is more convinced that Datang is the destiny of heaven and can last forever.

Li Er stood at the top of the altar, this towering altar was on the Leyou Plain, it seemed that he could reach out and touch the floating clouds in the air, the whole person stood here as if the world was in front of him, at this moment Li Er had infinite pride in his heart, because he was also shocked by the sudden appearance of the divine beast, although he knew that it was fake, but in his heart he was hypnotizing himself, believing that everything was true, he was the true dragon son of heaven. And with the grand occasion of this divine dragon possession this time, then what he has done in this world is justified, the thorn that has been lying in his heart all these years has completely melted at this time, and those former Sui forces that have been enduring all these years are ready to move, as well as the remnants of King Xi, will definitely not be able to use the origin of his throne to attack him. Therefore, the benefits brought by the invisible are incomparably huge, and no matter what era it is, occupying the name of righteousness always occupies the greatest starting point of interests.

The sacrifice is over, and then the real highlight is the real highlight, the civil and military officials and the royal family have to personally cultivate a piece of land, which is not a pretentious shovel of soil. Or you can walk in the field and make a difference, but really put in the hard work and cultivate an acre of land. You have to go into battle to plow the land and plant the seeds. This is not a simple matter, and many officials have never been exposed to such agricultural work, such as the group of so-called talents in the world who just participated in the imperial examination last year, including the sons of families like Changsun Chong. These people were not qualified to participate in such a thing before, and this is the first time they have participated. And in their capacity, they will never do any farm work. Needless to say, the eldest grandson Chong is the eldest young master at home who comes to stretch out his hands and opens his mouth when he eats. And in those years before that. The eldest grandson Wuji also did not let him participate, because the temperament shown by the eldest grandson Chong in the past few years was really not suitable for this kind of occasion. And the rest of them are all studying hard in the cold window. Or born into a family. These things are really foreign to them. I'm afraid they're going to put on a great show this time.

Of course, Li Er is also a layman, but it is not difficult to make a appearance, and he does it very well. The brand-new ploughshare was placed in a piece of land that had been selected on the Leyou Plain, and the swarthy land was obviously the most fertile of this large field, because it was cultivated by the emperor himself, and if the crops did not grow well, wouldn't it be a shame? So the land is the most fertile, no matter what is planted. There will be a good harvest.

Next, His Majesty Li Er, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, came to this large area of land with a large group of civil and military officials. This is a large plain, divided into blocks, on which is marked whose family, everyone who is qualified to come to cultivate has their own piece of land, different sizes, this is the embodiment of status, the higher the official position, the larger the area of land that needs to be cultivated. This made all the nobles feel painful, because it was a tiring job, but it was also a glorious job, and the larger the land planted, the greater the time it would take, and the more opportunities there would be to show it in front of His Majesty the Emperor. But it may not behave well, but it is a joke.

Of course, there is also an important reason, because the larger the land area, the longer it will take, there is no doubt about this. Therefore, regardless of the size of the land to be cultivated, everyone must follow a rule, that is, it cannot take less time than His Majesty the Emperor. Because if the leader is still working, and you are already watching from the sidelines, this is a big no-no. That's why the higher the status of the card, the more extensive the land. After all, Li Er's land must be the largest piece. Time is indispensable.

When he went to work in the field, he naturally couldn't wear the clothes he wore when he sacrificed to the heavens, so Li Er also changed out of his crown clothes, and a coarse linen dress was worn on him, but it was still difficult to hide his superior's momentum, and the whole person showed an invisible momentum between his gestures, as if he was the only one between the heaven and the earth, looking at the world and empty-eyed. Standing at the top of the most powerful empire of this era, Li Er's position determines that his absolute momentum is so strong, whether he is wearing the emperor's crown dress or such coarse cloth clothes, it is difficult to hide. And beside him, he was dressed in a coarse cloth dress, but a graceful and luxurious cheek, as well as the momentum of the mother's world, also made the eldest grandson queen walk beside Li Er without being covered up at all, as if it was a golden phoenix beside Shenlong, it was difficult to ignore. Although the whole person has changed out of the flying phoenix skirt, he has removed the golden step on the top of his head, and the phoenix crown and the curtain. But it still makes people feel ashamed of themselves at a glance. Only Empress Changsun can be by Li Er's side, but she will not be suppressed by Li Er's momentum at all, but she is as if she is one.

Of course, except for Li Er and Empress Changsun, the rest of the civil and military officials also changed their official robes, and at this time they were all dressed in coarse cloth clothes, dressed as Zhuang households. Although they were wearing such clothes, they didn't look like bankers at all. There were only a few people who seemed to be in perfect harmony with the outfit. For example, Cheng Yanjin came over with his three bastards, this big man has the same temperament as the clothes on his body, and his big shoulders and round waist are like hunters in the mountains. And on the other side of them, Wei Chi Gong's family is not far behind, the whole is like a strong man in the mountains, these two families stand here like a group of robbers cutting the path. But after getting off the field, these two families are the most familiar, these two families of these half-sized children, they have become the main force of the plow, all of them are good at pulling the plow, this is not a technical work, but a plough of hard work, it is simply tailored for these bear-like guys, and Cheng Biting Jin and Wei Chigong were both born poor, and they had been in charge of farm work before they were developed. It's like traveling light.

In Li Er's field, Li Kuan also changed his clothes, and standing in this field the size of three acres, he realized that there was another disadvantage of being an emperor, that is, the land to be cultivated was larger than anyone else's. Even if it is the eldest grandson Wuji's family, it is only more than two acres, this labor intensity is a lot more than that of other people's families, and then look at the brothers around him, he has more headaches, Li Chengqian is slightly better, although he does not have many muscles, but he still looks strong. However, except for Li Chengqian, there is no one who is normal, Li Tai is simply sorry for the nickname that Li Er and Empress Changsun gave him, the green finch is a small bird, but this guy has actually grown into a pig-like body. Just after walking two steps in this field, he began to pant, should he be dragged along later? There are only a few half-grown children left who have not grown up: Li You, how useful can these children be? Later, I will be tired and crying in this field, I am afraid that people will have to coax me.

But having reached this point, there is no room for retreat, so I can only do a little more by myself, let these guys paddle well, and treat it as a copy with a few trumpets. So when Li Er helped the plowshare, Li Kuan hurriedly walked to the pull rope in front of the inside and selected a proper one, which was directly opposite to Li Er, and it was the best place to work hard. As long as you pull a little more here, the people on the side will be much more relaxed. Li Kuan didn't think so much about it, so he directly put the rope on his body, and Li Chengqian and Li Tai were by his side.

Li Kuan didn't think much about it, but in this special family, many things are hidden in some small actions, and these things are all potential things, so Li Kuan's move made some people feel something special, but no one said it on this occasion now. For a long time, the position facing Li Er was pulled by Li Chengqian, and on both sides of him were the positions of Li Kuan, Li Ke, and Li Tai, the three princes who had grown up. In the past, because of Li Ke, the third child, plus Li Chengqian, the two of them together plus Li Kuan's release of water, they could also maintain balance. But this year, Li Ke was released and did not return to Beijing. The balance was shattered. So Li Kuan took it upon himself to do so on such an occasion of exerting his strength, because Li Tai's strength was already good if he could support his fat body to complete the journey. Not to mention that he and Li Chengqian can partner to achieve a balance with Li Kuan.

But in any case, Li Kuan is now the main force of pulling the plow, and he puts a set of ropes on his shoulders. Just waiting for Li Er to give orders. And Li Chengqian stood beside him, but he didn't pull a distance to make it easier, and just stood side by side with him like that. Li Kuan frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. Anyway, isn't it just planting a piece of land, how to do it, as long as it is done well, what Li Chengqian wants to do is what he wants, as long as it does not affect him. He still didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the place he was standing in, and his political IQ had never developed.

Li Er didn't say anything, just coughed lightly, and then cleared his throat: "Okay, here we go!" ”

"No!" Several princes began to pull the plough desperately, and the ropes on their shoulders were strangled on their shoulders, except for Li Kuan, the rest of them all changed their complexions, especially Li Tai's guy, his face was completely wrinkled, like a bun, and the painful expression was really drunk to be able to do this. And this feeling of being strangled on the shoulder is continuous, almost like a long torture. The rope used by Li Er's cultivated land is made of some kind of animal tendon, so it is much thinner than the rope of ordinary people's homes, and it is also very painful. (To be continued......)
