The Lone Star of the Tang Dynasty

"What is being discussed today just reflects the fairness and strictness of Lord Pei, and the merit is indeed not enough to be named the prince of the country immediately, and it is more appropriate to change the title of marquis. Xu Changshi, please take a step forward!" With this series of compact operations, Pei Lin could only be speechless, secretly sighing that he was forced into an embarrassing situation.

In the hall of Tiance Mansion, the atmosphere was tense and delicate for a while.

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly spoke, his voice was clear, like the bell of dawn, Li Er's eyes lit up in an instant, and his spirit was lifted.

The

"long history" mentioned by the eldest grandson Wuji is an important position in the imperial court, they are the historians who record all kinds of changes in the world and various government affairs, which not only carry the memory of history, but also an important bridge for the imperial court to convey policies and decisions to the general public.

Li Er confirmed: "That's right, where is Xu Changshi? Xu Changshi responded quickly!".

Xu Changshi came out in response, although he was young and newly promoted to the imperial examination, he was also a sincere person, and because of his simple and upright character, he was regarded by everyone as an ideal candidate for the position of historian.

His face was in awe, and his voice responded firmly: "Your Majesty, Weichen is here!"

The eldest grandson Wuji turned his head to look at the young man, nodded with satisfaction, and then admonished earnestly: "Xu Changshi, today Lord Pei is straightforward, Your Majesty is humble and open-minded, you must record this matter in detail, not to leak any bits, and do not neglect such a major matter because you are worried about the damage to the emperor's prestige or taking care of your face, do you understand?"

This young Xu Changshi did not have insight into the old scheming behind this conversation, but only thought that this was to record the national ceremony, his heart was full of excitement and glory, his face turned red, and he vowed: "Weichen was originally a grass people, and he was able to participate in the imperial examination with the grace of His Majesty, and was merged into the court as an official, how dare he have the slightest slack?

Li Er couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh, and the entire team of Tiance Mansion laughed with him, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

Okay! Pretty good! Li Er cheered loudly.

Since his accession to the throne, those officials of the family line have always relied on their family background to occupy high positions in the court, which has brought a lot of trouble to him and the government. Now, they're finally able to let out a bad breath!

At this moment, Wei Zheng and the others felt their admiration for His Royal Highness Li Changge.

If he hadn't promoted chemical fertilizer with one hand and improved the quyuan plow with the other, how could they have ushered in such a good time?

The laughter of everyone in Tiance Mansion is like a spring breeze, which complements the joy of the birth of today's gods, without any sense of pretentiousness.

At the same time, those officials who had passed the imperial examination were also full of red light and joy in their hearts. This is indeed a great thing!

However, they always felt that something was wrong in their hearts.

From the perspective of the people, Li Changge's exploits are enough to seal a hereditary prince, and can even be compared with Dayu's exploits in controlling the water. After all, with chemical fertilizers and zigzag ploughs, the people could accumulate surplus food during the harvest and avoid the plight of countless people in the event of a famine.

It is incomprehensible that Lord Pei Lin would oppose such a reward. In everyone's eyes, he has always been a gentleman, known for his benevolence and righteousness.

Despite this, His Majesty humbly accepted this seemingly unreasonable exhortation. These young officials from poor backgrounds, while feeling puzzled, couldn't help but cast strange glances at Pei Lian.

Pei Lian's face was as pale as ashes, and the officials of the other families were even more mournful, and their hearts were full of despair. Seeing that Pei Lin was slapped in the face like this, their family status was precarious, and it seemed that they were destined to decline ......

"I'm angry! Li Erxiao'er, it's really too arrogant!" Pei Lin shot the case in the courtyard in the south of the city, and he was furious.

He reprimanded: "A small craftsman was named a marquis, it is simply a ruin of etiquette, Li Er can also do such a ridiculous thing!"

The maid came in with a bowl of ginseng soup, and when she saw that her master was thundering and angry, she was immediately nervous and at a loss.

Pei Lin was angry with her because he was disturbed, grabbed the soup cup, and smashed it at the pure and lovely maid. Despite his old age, Pei Lin led the troops in battle when he was young, and his strength was not small. The porcelain bowl shattered instantly, the hot ginseng soup splashed on the maid's face, and the screams rang out, and the originally beautiful face immediately became blurred, and the hot soup flowed along the cheeks, bringing out traces of blood.

After the maid screamed, she fell to her knees in fright and begged for mercy.

At this moment, Wang Jing walked slowly from the depths of the courtyard, with a graceful demeanor and elegant temperament. He waved his hand to the maidservant, motioned for her to go down, and asked the bookkeeper to give her two months' worth of money to let her go.

The maid was reluctant to leave, mentioning that there were still relatives to take care of at home, Wang Jing frowned slightly, and the housekeeper immediately took away the maid who was crying and screaming.

After the maidservant was dragged away, Wang Jingcai smiled and looked at his angry old friend Pei Lian, "Brother Pei, I haven't seen you for a long time, how could you think of coming to my humble place as a guest today, and you will be so angry when you come? "

Pei Xiao let out a long sigh, calmed down a little after venting, and asked Wang Jing bluntly why he hadn't taken action against Li Er so far.

When Wang Jing heard this, he was slightly stunned, knowing that Pei Lin really moved his liver this time.

He explained: "This matter is naturally to be done, but it has been preparing recently, and the so-called everything is ready to succeed in one fell swoop." Brother Pei, what happened to make you so angry?".

Pei Lin told the court in detail about the Quyuan plow and fertilizer in the court today. Wang Jing was surprised when he heard this.

"Brother Pei, is this really the case? What is this quyuan plough and chemical fertilizer, which can produce such a miraculous effect?"

When Pei Lin saw Wang Jing's reaction, he was furious again, "Brother Wang, you and I have been friends for many years, how can you think that these strange and ingenious things are amazing? Scholars should use the Four Books and Five Classics to cultivate oneself and rule the country and the world, which one of the sages teaches us to study these craftsman skills? Li Er, a faint king, does not think about the way of sages, but as the Son of Heaven, he ignores the serious consequences that this move may bring. If all the young people of the world go to study farming skills, who will respect our Confucian scholars? The last time such a situation occurred was the case of Zhao Gao in the Qin Dynasty!".

Wang Jing was scolded by Pei Lian, and his heart also woke up, it turned out that he almost only saw the immediate benefits and forgot the long-term impact. If the people are self-sufficient and no longer need to rent land, how can they still control the labor force?

Wang Jingjing nodded, agreeing with Pei Lian's viewpoint, "That's right, this zigzag plough and chemical fertilizer are really the scourge of the world! If the people no longer rely on the land, won't we be able to mobilize manpower? In this way, the upper and lower levels will be out of order, and the noble and the low will be confused, and the world will not fall into chaos? Li Er is really a faint king!"

Pei Lin sneered a few times and ......
