Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

If Cheng Yaojin did not go down to control Qu Yuanli himself, once Qu Yuanli's performance did not meet expectations, then Li Shimin and Li Xin, who had mobilized so many officials to watch the ceremony, would be in a very awkward position.

According to Li Xin, Qu Yuanli can be called "auspicious", and it is truly auspicious that can make more people full. And what is Xiangrui? Since Dong Zhongshu proposed the induction between heaven and man in the Han Dynasty, auspiciousness has been regarded as God's approval of the emperor. That is to say, only when the reigning emperor is wise and the heaven is satisfied, will he send down auspiciousness. This is logically a supplement to the divine right of kings. Therefore, it can be understood why officials of all dynasties have been accustomed to paying tribute to auspiciousness to flatter the emperor.

If Qu Yuanli succeeds, Li Shimin can use this auspiciousness to further stabilize his position and win a better title. Out of trust in Li Xin, after he heard about Qu Yuanli, he immediately decided to directly hold a large-scale viewing event, so that all the officials and common people could see the extraordinaryness of Qu Yuanli with their own eyes. Invisibly, this is also a battle for the right to speak. The more perfect Li Shimin's image is, the greater his reputation will be, which will weaken the voice of other aristocratic families.

On such an important occasion, if Li Xin's Qu Yuanli has a problem, or if he is not so "auspicious", Li Xin himself will be the first to bear the brunt. Although it is absolutely impossible for Li Shimin to pursue Li Xin, other officials may denounce Li Xin as a traitor who maliciously deceived His Majesty in order to maintain Li Shimin's wise image. At that time, the situation will become unmanageable. Even if Li Shimin wanted to protect Li Xin, he still had to be wary of public opinion.

In order to avoid this, Cheng Yaojin stood up and pulled Yu Chigong.

Once Qu Yuanli's performance is not satisfactory, Li Xin believes that Cheng Yaojin will definitely try his best to make jokes, disrupt the whole serious situation, and turn this ceremony viewing into a complete joke. In doing so, he attracted all eyes and attention. All the blame will fall on him, and Li Xin will be able to get away.

Taking all these into consideration, Cheng Yaojin would not say anything. If today's matter is successful, he will come up with a big laugh, pat Li Xin on the shoulder, and praise him for a good job. All the unspoken considerations and calculations, all the risks and injuries he may have taken, have since disappeared. He would never say a word.

This is man.

How could Li Xin not be moved? Of course he is grateful to Cheng Yaojin for everything he has done for him, and at the same time he is very confident in his Qu Yuanli.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, there is absolutely no possibility of a problem with this plow." Li Xin said slowly.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Xin, couldn't help smiling, and turned his gaze to Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong who were driving the old cows in the plowing field not far away.

Qu Yuanli, who can leave his name in the long history, really deserves his reputation. After only a quarter of an hour, Cheng Yaojin's work progress has already been pulled away from Yu Chigong's by a large margin. After waiting for more than half an hour, Yu Chigong's old cow obviously showed some fatigue, while Cheng Yaojin's old cow was still quite energetic.

The estimated hour was over, and the results said it all. Cheng Yaojin plowed all the fields he was in charge of, but Yu Chigong only finished about half of it. The difference is so great that no one with eyes can ignore it.

Two sweaty big men climbed up from the ground dirty, walked up to Li Shimin and knelt down, cupped their hands and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty for getting this auspicious artifact! I congratulate Your Majesty and the people of Tang Dynasty!"

Without any redundant explanation, it is the best choice to congratulate the great Li Er directly at this time.

The other ministers watching the ceremony also knelt down and said repeatedly: "Congratulations to Your Majesty! Congratulations to the people of the Tang Dynasty!" Li Xin also knelt down and congratulated repeatedly.

Everyone knows what a good farm implement means. It means that the efficiency of people's food production has been improved, it means that more arable land can be cultivated, and more people can be fed. For a country like Datang, population is power. Regardless of history or future generations, all countries that can become great powers have sufficient land area and population as their foundation. The young Datang is ambitious, and if he wants to seek expansion and create more happiness, he must have more population.

Li Shimin looked at the countless courtiers kneeling in front of him, and felt an indescribable joy in his heart. He turned to Li Xin in front of him, and said: "I declare that Li Xin, the king of Chu, has made great contributions to the invention of Qu Yuanli, and he has been awarded five thousand copper coins to the doctor of Zhengyi!"

There were two sets of official positions in the Tang Dynasty. One set is full-time officials, such as household servants, who have rank, salary and authority, while the other set is the scattered official system, with rank, salary and no authority. It is usually a symbol of glory. There will be one or two loose official positions. The "Zhengyi doctor" that Li Shimin is now issuing is a senior official on the fourth rank. That is to say, regardless of the special position of consultant of the household department, Li Xin has suddenly become a fourth-rank official from a white body today!
