Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

"The queen is indeed too tired to work on state affairs, she needs to make more adjustments."

Li Shimin said.

Physician Wang prescribed some medicines to invigorate the spleen and Qi, and told the maid to decoct the medicine.

"Your Majesty, why don't we go out of the palace to Yunyang County today?"

said the Queen.

"Okay, that's exactly what I mean. It's unreasonable not to see the great sages of this country."

Li Shimin had wanted to visit Su Yu a long time ago, but he was busy raising food and building water conservancy all winter, so he was free now.

"Meeting for the first time, what gift do you think I bring?"

To meet a great sage, it needs to be precious but not vulgar, and it is difficult to choose.

The queen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't bother, this Su Yu is not an ordinary person, and he might not like the things you bring."

"But there is no one who does not give a gift when they meet for the first time. Gao Changguo sent a hard-earned horse. I will give him that horse. He should like it."

Li Shimin said so, but his heart was bleeding.

He liked horses the most in his life, and there were six horses in Zhaoling after his death.

This blood-sweat BMW came from the Western Regions and was sold to Chang'an City by Gaochang merchants.

At that time, Wei Zheng secretly paid a high price to buy it. Wei Zheng knew about it, and the court officials confronted him face to face, saying that Li Shimin was extravagant.

It is a lie to say that he does not feel sorry for the bloody BMW he secretly bought under Wei Zheng's scolding, but now he wants to give it to Su Yu.

"Is it the emperor's peerless horse?"

The queen was slightly surprised, she didn't expect the emperor to cut his heart.

"Yes, it is my absolute shadow."

Li Shimin's lips trembled a little.

"Except for Jue Ying, there is nothing worthy of Su Yu in our palace."

The Queen nodded in agreement.

Li Shimin:? ? ?

This is my Avalokitesvara maidservant?
"Aniang, Aye."

Two court ladies brought a pink little girl into the bedroom.

This is Li Lizhi, the daughter of Empress Changsun, who is five years old this year.

Li Shimin loves this daughter very much.

"Come here, my father hugs me."

Li Shimin hugged Li Lizhi, very happy.

The queen also loved this daughter very much.

"Aniang, Aye, are you going to go out to play secretly without bringing beauty?"

The little pink hands tugged on Li Shimin's beard and giggled.

"You can't be so beautiful, this is the dragon's beard."

The queen stops Lizhi from messing around.

Li Shimin was happy: "It's fine if the beauty likes it, and it's fine if the dragon's beard is pulled out."

"The emperor can't be so pampered."

the queen persuaded.

"My daughter, you can't spoil her too much."

Li Shimin laughed.

"Aye, do you want to go out to play? Lizhi is going too."

"Alright, let's take Lizhi with me."

The queen persuaded: "Your Majesty, Lizhi's body has always been weak, and now the spring is cold, so I'm afraid of catching cold."

"Put more clothes on and go out in a carriage. It's pitiful to be bored in the palace all day. How could you and I be so restrained when we were young?"

Li Shimin laughed.

The queen was helpless, knowing that Li Shimin, a super daddy, could spoil Changle to heaven.

After preparing the carriage, put on thick clothes, and put the heater in the carriage, we left the Xuanwu Gate and headed for Yunyang County.

There can be no fewer or more people going this way.

It must be able to guarantee Li Shimin's safety, but it must not make Su Yu suspicious.

Not far from the Xuanwu Gate, Du Ruhui, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, came up on horseback from behind.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Du Ruhui hurried to catch up.

Li Shimin sat in the carriage, and the coachman Shangguanyun stopped.

"Du Shangshu, why are you here?"

Shangguan said it was strange.

Li Shimin got out of the carriage and asked strangely, "Keming, why are you here?"

Du Ruhui said: "I heard that the emperor's private visit is in private, so I came here to follow."

Du Ruhui thought in his heart: Your majesty, you are here to meet Zhuge Liang behind the scenes, how can the old minister refuse to follow you.

"Drive, drive."

With the clatter of horseshoes, Fang Xuanling galloped from Xuanwu Gate.

Li Shimin secretly cried out: "Why is Fang Xuanling here? Isn't my brain trust going to be exposed?"

"Xuan Ling, why are you here?"

Li Shimin seemed displeased.

But Fang Xuanling laughed and said: "I heard that the emperor's private visit is in private, and the official came to accompany me."

Fang and Du exchanged a look, very proud.

In the last court meeting, because of Su Yu's ghostly idea, Li Shimin slaughtered all directions, and Fang Du and his wife were disgraced.

If Li Shimin could come up with such a scheme of substituting work for relief, Fang and Du would leave the palace three hundred times on the spot.

There must be someone planning behind it.

Fang and Du two stared at the Tai Chi Hall all winter, Li Shimin quietly went out from the Xuanwu Gate today, there must be fraud.

No matter what Li Shimin said, the two of them would go with a stern face.

The queen poked her head out of the carriage and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the two lords are also old ministers, so it's okay to go."

Of course Li Shimin knows that it's okay for them to go, but it's not easy to pretend in the future.

"Thank you Queen Empress."

Thank you both.

"You can go, let me tell you first, your identities are my housekeeper and accountant, you must not reveal your identities."

Li Shimin said.

Fang Du Daxi: Although I don't know who I met, there is indeed something tricky in it.

"The ministers obey the order."

The carriage moved forward slowly.

The winter snow has melted, the branches are starting to sprout green, and the spring plowing on the road has begun.

When the carriage reached the outside of Sujiazhuang, there was a busy scene.

Li Shimin got off the carriage and stopped to watch the farmer plow the field.

Fang Xuanling suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Your Majesty, look at the farmer's oxen, although they are physically strong, they can't plow the land so fast."

Li Shimin walked to the field for a closer look and asked in surprise, "Why is this iron plow different?"

The iron plows used in Datang are all straight shaft plows, but this iron plow is curved.

When Li Shimin looked up, he realized that the farmers around Sujiazhuang used curved iron plows.

The plowing speed is extremely fast, the soil is easily turned up, and the cattle are completely stress-free.

The straight shaft plows used in the Tang Dynasty are all straight shaft plows. This type of straight shaft plow appeared in the Western Han Dynasty and was developed from Leisi. Its components include plow shafts, plow swords, plow beds, and plow tips.

This kind of iron plow is slow and laborious.

"Brother, brother."

Fang Xuanling stopped an old farmer.

"Guest, what's the matter?"

The old farmer stopped, patted the mud on his body, and laughed.

Li Shimin was shocked to find that this old farmer had good teeth and a healthy body, unlike farmers in other places.

While food for work has saved lives, malnutrition is widespread.

Even a young man is not too thin. This old farmer has the physique to serve as a soldier.

"Brother, why is your iron plow different?"

Fang Xuanling asked.

The old farmer laughed and said, "Is the guest a stranger?"

"We are from Chang'an, so we are not considered foreigners."

Fang Xuanling said.

"Forget it, people outside Sujiazhuang are considered foreigners."

The old farmer smiled heartily.

Outside of Sujiazhuang are foreigners?Fang Xuanling was speechless.

"Brother, you iron plow."

Fang Xuanling got down to business.

"Don't ask me about this, it's all designed and manufactured by the young master. We just think it's very convenient. In the past, it took one acre of land to plow, but now it can plow three mu of land, and the cattle don't even need to pant."

The old farmer laughed, rolled up his trousers and continued plowing.
