Datang Nongwang

Chapter 533 Busy Harvesting Melons

Finally came out of the palace.

Li Chongyuan's other two brothers immediately surrounded Li Chongyuan and hurried back to their home.

Indeed.

Only Li Chongji knew about Wanmin Shu, whether it was Li Chongxuan or Li Chongxu, the two of them really didn't know.

In today's big court meeting, their two brothers have been outside the main hall, wanting to step forward to help their fourth brother, but they have never been able to find an opportunity, and they don't know what to do.

Fortunately, their eldest brother Li Chongji took out the Wanmin book, and this solved the attack on his fourth brother today, and finally turned the danger into safety and got through it safely.

at this time.

The two brothers Li Chongxuan were overly happy.

After he came out of the palace, he kept asking how the Wanmin book came about, and even wanted to get out of Li Chongyuan's mouth how to get the Wanmin book.

But Li Chongyuan is really hard to say about this kind of thing.

It can only be said to do practical things for the people, to uphold justice for the people and other noble words.

After returning to my home.

Li Chongji, the eldest brother, truthfully told the old lady about everything that happened in the court today, and even magnified the dangerous scene infinitely.

After hearing this, the old lady booed for a long time, "Fortunately, Yuan'er got this Wanmin book in Xixiang. If I didn't have this Wanmin book, I'm afraid Yuan'er would have a hard time today."

"Yes, mother. If there is no such book of ten thousand people, today, the official position held by the fourth brother will probably be taken away, and the title will probably have to be demoted." Li Chongji thought of the court Even now, I still have some fears about it.

"Mother, the fourth brother has won the book of ten thousand people. This is a great thing for our family. Such a great thing, we have to make a big deal of it, so that those civil servants can take a good look at the prestige of the fourth brother." Li Chongxuan felt a little bit resentment.

Li Chongxu, who was at the side, saw that his two elder brothers had spoken, so he naturally couldn't fall behind, and immediately echoed: "Mother, I think what the second brother said is right. The fourth brother was arrested by all the civil servants in the court hall." Criticism, if it weren't for the fact that my second brother and I are too low-ranked to even have the qualifications to speak, we would all want to say a few words for the fourth brother. And that old Fang Xuanling, one day, I will kill him he."

"Shut up. It's okay for you to talk about this at home. If this word spreads, others don't know how to attack us. But then again, although I can't feel the danger in the court today , but I can guess some. Your uncle and those generals are unable to intervene, let alone you. Fortunately, the danger was saved and everything was safe. As for that old Fang Xuanling, he is so good at making decisions, you also think They are not their opponents. You all have to be good, as long as you live longer than him, his heirs in the next life, when the time comes, you can do whatever you want." The old lady looked at her third son. He kept silent, but Li Chongyuan was stunned by what she said.

Li Chongyuan really didn't expect that his mother would have such a dark side.

But thinking about the whole family, who is Fang Xuanling's opponent?

In my own family, except for the old lady, no one is qualified to compete with that Fang Xuanling.

official position.

Not to mention that.

He is the order of Zhongshu. This official position is the position of prime minister.

Li Chongji is the imperial censor in the palace, although he can participate in all court meetings, but his rank is not high.

Li Chongxuan is just a school lieutenant, and his grade is not high, he doesn't even have the qualifications to enter the hall.

Li Chongxu, that's just the gatekeeper of Chang'an City, let alone his rank, let alone speak in the hall.

As for Li Chongyuan.

Like his elder brothers, he has a low official position, low rank, and even lower rank.

The old lady is a woman and cannot go to court, and those who are qualified to discuss with Fang Xuanling in the family can only live at home.

and so.

The old lady had such a saying, that is to let Li Chongji's four brothers live a little longer, make Fang Xuanling die, and then play with his heirs again.

Okay.

Such dark thoughts came out of the mouth of the always kind and kind old lady, which shows how much the old lady hates Fang Xuanling.

Li Chongyuan didn't like to talk much.

The grievances between the Li family and the Fang family, no matter who lives longer or lives longer, must have a result.

At this time, Li Chongyuan had always refused to be an official, but now, he began to eagerly want to promote his official position.

It's not easy to be an official, but what's the matter? Only after becoming an official and doing a lot of merit can his official position be promoted.

Although it is basically impossible to be promoted to a higher official position than Zhongshu Ling.

The highest official position in the Tang Dynasty is Zhongshu Ling.

of course.

The highest official position in the Tang Dynasty, in addition to Zhongshu Ling, there are servants, and Shangshu Pushe. These three official positions, like the Zhongshu Ling, are all prime ministers, and they are also the positions of the three prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty. High-ranking officials of the third grade are official positions with real power.

The Zhongshuling of the Zhongshu Province, the servant of the Menxia Province, and the Shangshu Pushe of the Shangshu Province.

These three prime ministers have great power.

And to go up is to start from the vain job of the second rank.

For example, the three young masters, that is, Prince Shaoshi, Prince Shaofu, and Prince Shaobao.

As for the second grade, that is the Shangshuling, but because Li Shimin had been a Shangshuling, after Li Shimin became the emperor, the Shangshuling became a vacant position.

From the first rank, that is the Prince Taishi, Prince Taifu, Prince Taibao, and Hushi General.

These are basically false positions without any real power.

As for those of the first grade, there are Taishi, Taifu, Taibao, Taiwei, Situ, Sikong, and General Tiance.

These official positions are also empty positions, and more are used for posthumous gifts or titles, as the highest honor to show favor, without any real power.

And the post of General Tiance.

That is an official position that cannot be more vain.

after all.

This is the highest official position of a general, because Li Shimin had once served as Tiance General, so it can only be vacant and will not be reset.

and so.

The brothers of the Li family wanted to promote their official positions, and they only targeted the three prime ministers. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to get Fang Xuanling from Zhongshuling down.

but.

When Li Chongyuan thought of himself, and the heads of his three brothers, if he wanted to be the prime minister of the three sects, it was basically hopeless.

but.

In addition to the position of prime minister of the three schools, there are other goals for official positions.

It's like the post of Shangshu in Liubu, and the minister of Taichang Temple.

Forget it as the Minister of Taichang Temple, this official position is really not an official position that Li Chongyuan and his brothers can fight for.

Most likely, it is nothing more than the position of the six ministers.

After the discussion in the family, the old lady decided to wait for the court to speak, and then see if she wanted to organize a big banquet for Li Chongyuan.

Although there is the Wanmin Book, it has to be officially confirmed by the imperial court before you can handle it with great fanfare, otherwise, it will be an overreach.

Afterwards, the three Li Chongji brothers left the family to handle their official duties.

On the contrary, it was Li Chongyuan who was kept by the old lady, and after talking for a long time, he let Li Chongyuan go.

Li Chongyuan, who came out of his home, looked at the housekeeper who followed him, "Housekeeper, what did you mean by what Auntie said just now? Tell me not to go back to Chang'an in the next few days. Is it because Auntie is afraid that I will be beaten or that I will be teased?" dead?"

"Xiao Langjun, the meaning of the old lady is very clear. Before the Holy Majesty has spoken, it is really inconvenient for you to stay in Chang'an. It is impossible to be killed by someone. If you are beaten, forgive them. They don't have the courage. Old lady I'm just worried that you will be harassed by some villains when you stay in Chang'an, that's why I told Mr. Xiao Lang not to go back to Chang'an recently, and you will be called back to Chang'an after the Holy Majesty and the court have made a decision." The butler said with a smile on his face. .

After Li Chongyuan heard this, he thought about it carefully.

I got a book of peoples.

Such an honor, and at today's grand court meeting, they ruined the attack plan of Fang Xuanling and others. If he stayed in Chang'an by himself, he might be scolded by others.

Depending on one's own temperament, something big may happen.

finally.

Li Chongyuan had to go back to Lizhuang.

Speaking of which, Li Chongyuan really didn't know.

What I did during my time in Xixiang disrupted the entire court situation.

Just like that.

Among the officials, in order to compete for the number of Yangzhou officials, the competition became more and more tense, which also added a few more wrinkles on the forehead of Gao Shilian, who was sitting in the official department.

He, Li Chongyuan, could not participate in the competition for the number of officials.

Even if you have the heart, you don't have the strength, you can only go with it.

As soon as Li Chongyuan returned to Li Zhuang, he talked to Li Yuan about the matters above the court, but as for Wanminshu, Li Chongyuan kept silent.

This is also what the old lady confessed.

Regarding the matter of Wanmin Shu, Li Chongyuan had better not mention a single word to Li Yuan.

As for why, the old lady didn't say anything, Li Chongyuan asked several times, but the old lady didn't say anything, so Li Chongyuan just didn't mention it.

"Fourth brother, are the watermelons in the melon field all going to be picked? Didn't you say you want to save the seeds? I watched those big watermelons grow up, and I was afraid they would explode if they continued to grow. Fourth brother, Let me tell you, just now I patted a big watermelon lightly, and she exploded before I even touched that big watermelon, you can’t blame me for that.” After chatting with Li Yuan for a long time, Li Chongyuan So I took Wan'er to the melon field.

In the melon field, all the watermelons used for planting have grown to weigh more than ten catties.

Such a large watermelon is unique.

Even if it is a watermelon brought as a tribute from the Western Regions, the largest one is only five or six catties.

As for the watermelons that Li Chongyuan used here for planting, it can be said that each one is not less than ten catties. They are big and green-skinned, and they look very fulfilling.

Li Chongyuan didn't take it seriously when he heard the little girl's words, "It's okay, I guess it's too ripe, today we picked all the watermelons that were reserved for planting."

If the melon is left for too long, it will naturally ripen to burst, which cannot be stopped by manpower.

Moreover, Li Chongyuan is also happy to see such a situation happen.

The melons are naturally ripe to this extent, and the seeds are also the best.

With Li Chongyuan's words.

No, under Qiao Hui's arrangement, all the servants started picking melons.

As soon as the melon was touched, 90.00% of the big watermelon exploded immediately, and a refreshing melon scent floated into everyone's noses.

"Don't eat it. The fourth brother said to save the seeds. If you want to eat it, you have to go back and eat it, and spit out the seeds." When the melon burst, the servants followed the usual practice, thinking that the watermelon should be eaten as soon as it bursts.

But when they broke it apart and put the watermelon into their mouths, Wan'er's small figure appeared beside them.

Li Chongyuan saw that the little girl was very concerned about saving watermelon seeds, and while picking watermelons, she smiled and did not stop her.

With this little girl around, he doesn't need to talk about many things.

On the same day, as soon as the melons left for seeds were picked, they were all moved into the wooden house where Huaishan noodles were originally made, and the servants began to get out the seeds from the watermelons.

And the little children in the village, as well as Wan'er and the others, were sitting on the ground and eating watermelon.

In front of them, there is a wooden barrel so that they can spit out watermelon seeds.

As soon as there were more watermelons, until the evening, only one-fifth of them had been resolved.

But this afternoon, the children ate so much that they even filtered out the dinner, even if it was Wan'er.

"Look at you, it's just watermelon. How can you eat it until your stomach can't hold it. Let you eat, and I will let you eat. Take it well tonight, and see if you dare to eat this way in the future." Li Chongyuan was speechless when he saw that the girl came back with a big round belly after Qiao Hui helped her back.

Wan'er rolled her eyes, wanted to speak, but couldn't speak.

And Qiao Hui, who was supporting her, also wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh, and explained aloud: "Little man, this is a melon-eating competition with the little children in the village. In order not to lose to the little children in the village, the little lady, This is how to eat more. As long as tonight is over, the little lady will be fine."

This is not the first time Qiao Hui has seen her little lady like this.

When Li Chongyuan was still in Xixiang, when the watermelon was ripe, Wan'er ate watermelon as if it was a meal, and ate two or three small ones, just like today, her stomach was full.

On the second day, it was still as usual, and nothing happened.

Even Zhang Wenli, the imperial physician, said it was fine, so Qiao Hui didn't take it seriously.

Qiao Hui didn't take it seriously, Zhang Wenli didn't take it seriously, but Li Chongyuan knew that watermelon is cold in nature, it's not good to eat too much, just enough is enough.

"Go back and lie down quickly, don't eat like this in the future. This watermelon is cold in nature. If you eat too much, it will easily upset your stomach and hurt your spleen and stomach. Lao Zhang, you can be regarded as an old doctor. You don't study watermelon well." Li Chongyuan After looking at the little girl, he hurriedly gave a word of advice.

Then, he switched to Zhang Wenli to preach again.

The watermelon is a foreign product, and it was the first time it was planted in the Tang Dynasty. Zhang Wenli didn't know its properties, but Li Chongyuan could understand it.

But for a doctor, he has to study hard no matter what.

After Zhang Wenli heard Li Chongyuan's words, he was taken aback for a moment, and then nodded slightly.
