Hou Junji endured the severe pain and stood up. His face turned from red to green, and from green to black, just like a face changing in a drama. He didn't know what to say.
Li Ji and other generals were holding back their smiles, and they were all happy to see Hou Junji's failure.
In the past, Hou Junji was always awesome, thinking that he was the best person in the army besides Li Jing, and looked down on Li Ji and the others. Now Yang Fan was venting his anger on them!
Cheng Yaojin, who was standing at the front of the hall, quietly gave Yang Fan a thumbs up as a sign of praise.
General Hou Junji believed that Cheng Yaojin was a big boss and unworthy of being ranked with him among the generals. The two of them also disliked each other the most.
Seeing Hou Junji's ugly face, and clearly seeing the little moves of Cheng Yaojin and others, His Majesty Li Er felt dumbfounded.
Hou Junji has always set his sights above his head and is not looked down upon by anyone.
But he is usually very witty, and many people have become his defeat.
I didn't expect that this kid Yang Fan would defeat Hou Junji again and again. It's true that one thing defeats another!
Perhaps Hou Junji was impeached by Yang Fan last time and lost his official position. This time he appointed him as General Zuowuwei. This guy has another idea.
Although I don’t know what happened between Yang Fan and the others, Hou Junji must have plotted against Yang Fan first.
Unfortunately, Yang Fan is not a brainless stick, so Hou Junji was forced into an embarrassing situation by Yang Fan.
Just now, Yang Fan said that he had no strength and hit Hou Junji's foot.
But His Majesty Li Er knew that this was definitely Yang Fan's deliberate act.
Yang Fan, this kid, has a great brain!
Seeing that Yang Fan was being unreasonable and deliberately making sarcastic remarks, Hou Junji was almost furious.
As a general who fought with him to conquer the world, His Majesty Li Er had to defend and give him face. He glared at Yang Fan fiercely and scolded: "You kid is so messy that you even file a complaint after hurting someone. How is that decent? Why don’t you apologize quickly?”
After hearing His Majesty Li Er's words, Yang Fan curled his lips and did not refute.
This is the Tai Chi Hall, and the emperor's words are imperial edicts.
In this environment, questioning His Majesty Li Er's words is simply courting death.
After looking at Hou Junji, Yang Fan said reluctantly: "Chen Guogong, you don't remember the faults of villains. I'm sorry! It's just that next time you see others moving things, you have to be careful, otherwise you will be easily injured. !”
After hearing Yang Fan's apology, His Majesty Li Er said that he was the only one who could control this lawless brat.
If it were anyone else, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to make him bow his head and apologize easily, but after hearing this, he felt that something was wrong.
Suddenly, a burst of weird laughter sounded in the hall.
Originally, Hou Junji was somewhat proud, after all, His Majesty Li Er personally made the decision for him.
But after hearing Yang Fan's strange words, he was so angry that his eyes almost popped out.
If it weren't for this Tai Chi Palace, he would really want to curse.
Obviously, Yang Fan was entertaining him!
Hearing the laughter, His Majesty Li Er, who was originally satisfied, suddenly had an idea flash in his mind.
well?
It doesn’t seem right!
What did this kid just say?
Next time you see someone moving something, be careful...
Haha, this guy actually played a word game and put all the blame on Hou Junji.
He believed that Hou Junji was injured because of his own carelessness and had nothing to do with Yang Fan.
He even laughed at Hou Junji because he was old and should not join in the fun.
His Majesty Li Er laughed angrily and yelled: "You bastard, you are just wrong. Why are you playing with your tongue? Do you think you can talk nonsense at a young age? If you don't fight for a few days, go to the house and uncover the tiles. Look. Come on, you have itchy skin, don’t you?”
Yang Fan lowered his eyebrows and quickly admitted his mistake.
Now that the purpose of attracting everyone's attention has been achieved, there is no need to act foolishly.
"Since Your Majesty said Wei Chen was wrong, then Wei Chen is wrong. However, the things in the box are huge treasures. If they are really smashed, it will really outweigh the gains."
Hou Junji interrupted nonchalantly: "Who are you kidding? What kind of treasure can be contained in a broken box? Is this thing more valuable than my body?"
Yang Fan smiled and said unequivocally: "Don't tell me, Mr. Chen Guo, the things inside are really more valuable than your body..."
"A few days ago, I saw that the people in Guanzhong were having difficulties in spring plowing, which made me very worried. After many explorations, I finally got an improved plow. This plow can at least double the efficiency of the people of the Tang Dynasty in plowing. You Say, is this artifact, which is related to the livelihood of millions of people, as valuable as your body?"
Except for His Majesty Li Er, everyone present was stunned.
The contents of the box can more than double the efficiency of farming?
This kid was drunk early in the morning, why is he always talking nonsense?
Although they didn't believe Yang Fan's words at all, everyone's eyes were fixed on the big wooden box on the ground.
Hou Junji snorted coldly and rebuked angrily: "Hou Zhongyi, how can you, a spoiled person, know about farming? Do you know that what is discussed in the Taiji Hall are national affairs, and everything said is recorded in the eucalyptus , if you dare to deceive the emperor, it will be a serious crime to deceive the emperor!"
Yang Fan rolled his eyes and pushed back: "Chen Guogong, just because you don't understand doesn't mean that others don't understand. I advise you not to regard your ignorance as your pride."
"you……!"
Hou Junji felt that this kid was his nemesis, and he pointed at Yang Fan and was speechless.
It has always been smooth sailing no matter what I do, but now why am I at a disadvantage when I encounter this bastard?
This guy is so articulate and what he says can make people mad.
His Majesty Li Er ignored Hou Junji's ugly expression, stared at the box on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "If this is really the case, open it quickly! I would like to see what is so strange about this thing."
His Majesty Li Er was already coveting yesterday for this kind of farming artifact that benefits the country and the people.
If he hadn't been so stunned by Wei Zheng today, His Majesty Li Er would have been impatient!
Many officials present also stretched their heads and stared at the wooden box expectantly, for fear of missing the artifact Yang Fan mentioned.
As the box was pried open, a strange-looking object was revealed to everyone.
The plows used for plowing in the Tang Dynasty were straight plows. This kind of pear was not only heavy and heavy, but also very difficult to operate.
The curved shaft plow in the box is completely different. This kind of plow not only makes the plow frame smaller and lighter, but also facilitates U-turns and turns, and is flexible in operation, saving manpower and livestock.
The real curved shaft plow was actually invented in the late Tang Dynasty. The entire structure of this type of plow consists of more than a dozen parts such as plow wall, plow bottom, plow arrows, plow shaft, and plow plate.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the real improvement of the Quyuan plow was basically fixed, so Yang Fan directly came up with the most labor-saving version of the Quyuan plow.
In full view of everyone, Yang Fan opened the box and assembled the scattered parts.
After a short while, a plow stick that could be controlled by one person and one hand was held in Yang Fan's hand.
After the assembly was completed, Yang Fan immediately looked at His Majesty Li Er proudly.
The emperor once promised that as long as Quyuanli really had that effect, it would be possible to make him a prince.
If he is promoted to become a Duke, then Yang Fan will be one of the top people in the court!
Seeing the lightness of the plow in the box, His Majesty Li Er's eyes flashed.
In terms of size alone, this plow does have the potential to be easy to operate!
Although His Majesty Li Er comes from a wealthy family and is now the most respected person in the country, he is not an emperor who is indifferent to his limbs and grains.
Every spring, His Majesty Li Er would go down to the fields of Huangzhuang with his civil and military officials to plow the fields in person.
Although His Majesty Li Er participated in spring plowing, he only set an example for the people of the world to value farming.
But His Majesty Li Er is still very familiar with various plows.
The structure of the plow in front of him was so simple that he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
With such a simple gadget, Yang Fan dared to boast that it was more than twice as efficient as the original plow?
Could it be that this guy is deliberately entertaining me in order to take credit?
But the emperor is the emperor, and he will never express his opinions easily even if he doesn't understand.
If it is as easy to use as Yang Fan said, wouldn't it be a personal loss?
As an emperor, he also cares about face, and he is the kind who cares about face.
Of course, His Majesty Li Er cannot just listen to Yang Fan's lies.
As long as he thought that a behemoth like the Cui family would be fooled into a trap by Yang Fan if he didn't pay attention, His Majesty Li Er was always cautious when facing Yang Fan.
If there is something I don't understand, I learn well and rarely express my opinion.
His Majesty Li Er stood up, walked down the steps slowly, raised his head and glanced at the ministers who were talking about each other, then waved to the side and said: "Guo Qing's family, come and see what is different about this thing, whether it is real." Is what this kid said so evil?"
"No!" Guo Siben, the minister of Hongnong Temple, responded.
For more than a year, Guo Siben has been cultivating the high-yielding Zhenguan potato crop day and night, making his already emaciated figure even thinner.
Although it now looks like he will fall down when the wind blows, he walks with great strides.
He took a few long steps and came directly to the box, staring at the strange-looking plow.
As the Minister of Hongnong Temple, it can be said that he knows all kinds of agricultural products and equipment.
Guo Siben first bowed to His Majesty Li Er, then cupped his hands to Yang Fan, and said with a smile: "The Marquis of Zhongyi has a kind heart, and there was Zhenguan potato before him. Now he has improved the plow and continues to benefit the people. He is really a role model for our generation. You should do it for me first." Let’s explain it briefly, and then I’ll see how it works?”
Yang Fan had a good impression of this kind of official who only did practical things. He handed the Quyuan plow to Guo Siben, bowed directly in return, and said humbly: "How dare you, Mr. Guo is the forefather of the agriculture of the Tang Dynasty. He has worked hard all these years." Breeding for the benefit of the people is truly the pillar of the country and will surely leave a mark in history!"
What he said made Guo Siben blush with such praise, but his heart was filled with sweetness.
With these words, at least it means that the hard work has been worth it.
Guo Siben was born in the Guo family of Taiyuan, and was the tenth grandson of General Guo Huai of the Cao Wei Dynasty. Unfortunately, the family has gradually declined since the inheritance. When he took refuge with Li Tang, he was full of revenge, but he has always been depressed and frustrated.
During the Wude period, because he was closer to the former crown prince Li Jiancheng, although he did not directly oppose Li Er, he was also a direct enemy.
When His Majesty Li Er ascended the throne, Guo Siben felt that the end was coming?
Unexpectedly, His Majesty Li Er seemed to have forgotten the past grudges and still appointed him as the Minister of Hongnong Temple.
This position is for a third-grade official wearing a purple robe, and there are not many civil and military officials in the dynasty!
With His Majesty Li Er so trusting him, how could he not be grateful for the official position of Minister of Hongnong Temple?
Since last year, His Majesty Li Er has handed over the auspicious Zhenguan potato to him. This is absolute trust.
Guo Siben was deeply loved by His Majesty Li Er, and he was so grateful that he vowed to repay His Majesty Li Er for his past kindness.
Therefore, Guo Siben no longer paid attention to the struggle between the DPRK and China and focused on breeding.
For more than a year, he rarely even returned home. He lived and ate in the fields, becoming a real farmer.
However, because of this, Guo Siben cultivated many potato seeds. In just one year, there will be enough seeds to provide to the people of the Tang Dynasty.
At that time, all you need to do is find a suitable opportunity to promote it to the world.
It can be said that he made great contributions to the agricultural production of Datang.
If His Majesty Li Er hadn't sent a message asking him to come and confirm an artifact for farming, he would still be rolling around in the fields!
Guo Siben knew what Yang Fan said.
It turns out that there are still people who know what he has been doing for more than a year, and at least he has not been forgotten.
His Majesty Li Er also looked at Yang Fan approvingly and thought to himself, this guy is quite knowledgeable.
Not only can he mess around, but he also knows etiquette for a real talent, which is pretty good.
Just when everyone was wondering how such a simple object could be so efficient, they heard Yang Fan change the topic, pointing to the plow shaft and introducing: "This object has been modified by my hands. It is not only light and labor-saving, but also greatly increases the efficiency of plowing."
"Everyone knows that we usually need two oxen and four people to plow the land. With this plow, we only need one person and one oxen, and the efficiency is more than doubled."
"Even if there is no cow, a strong man can pull it. It is simply a god-given artifact. This thing is too simple, but it has a feeling of great simplicity."
"Of course, people who are not familiar with farming can't see the ingenuity of this separation at all. Ordinary people don't know the rationale of it even if they see it in front of them. They know it but don't know why."
Regarding Yang Fan's self-proclaimed words, His Majesty Li Er was stunned for a while, and Guo Siben's expression was even duller.
However, when Guo Siben was praised by Yang Fan for being an expert in agriculture, he felt as if he had eaten a popsicle in the dog days of summer. It was so good!
However, Yang Fan's boasting made him feel that it was a bit exaggerated.
It only takes one person and one cow. How is this possible?
Not only does this double the efficiency, the labor and labor saved are immeasurable.
It's a pity that before Guo Siben raised any questions, His Majesty Li Er was already angry. He raised his leg and kicked Yang Fan directly on the butt. He angrily said: "You don't learn well, but you actually learn to lie. You should be beaten!"
Yang Fan's words reminded His Majesty Li Er of Yang Fan's often deceptive behavior.
Leng Buding was kicked, and Yang Fan felt resentful in his heart.
Looking up, he saw that His Majesty Lie Li Er was not really angry, so he scratched his neck and defended: "Why does Your Majesty kick people indiscriminately? I don't accept it!"
hehe!
All the ministers in the hall laughed. They dared to disagree with His Majesty. It was so childish.
The emperor just kicked you, what can you do?
People who saw Yang Fan unhappy suddenly felt refreshed and looked like they were watching a good show.
Today, the emperor was so criticized by Wei Zheng that he couldn't get off the stage. Yang Fan obviously hit the muzzle of the gun!
Those who are better with Yang Fan can only look at their noses with their eyes, and their hearts with their noses...
This bastard Yang Fan is so embarrassing, it’s better to pretend not to know him.
His Majesty Li Er also laughed angrily, holding back his anger and said: "In this case, I really don't believe in evil. Such a simple object can be so efficient. Besides, there are really not many people in the world who disobey me. Occasionally So many of them have been sent to prison by me, and the grass on some of their graves is several feet high, what do you think?"
With such a naked threat, Yang Fan's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was filled with panic. He said to himself that it is not illegal to brag.
Your Majesty, Li Er, wouldn't you just arrest me for such a trivial matter?
But if you were frightened by just one sentence, wouldn't it be very embarrassing? How would you face His Majesty Li Er in the future?
Besides, even if Quyuli is not as mysterious as he claims, it is definitely useful.
No matter what we say, we still have merit. Li Er is not so domineering, right?
With confidence in his heart, Yang Fan said righteously: "What Wei Chen said is true. Your Majesty has not yet demonstrated it. How can you say that Wei Chen is a liar? Huh, if you can't even defend yourself, then Wei Chen has nothing to say." Said, Your Majesty can conquer my body, but you cannot conquer my mind!"
"Pfft! I'm laughing so hard!"
"Haha, this kid is so interesting. What are you talking about?"
His Majesty Li Er was slightly stunned, his face turned dark, and he said angrily: "You bastard, how dare you entertain me?"
Cheng Yaojin and the others stood aside, his old face twitching constantly. This kid was too messy, but he suited their taste.
Hou Junji was extremely happy!
I didn’t expect that this kid is really mentally ill, and he dares to say such things?
Your Majesty conquers your body?
Bah, so shameless!
Listening to everyone's ridicule, Yang Fan was speechless.
The philosophical thoughts of later generations were indeed understandable to the ancients.
Looking at Cheng Yaojin and Hou Junji, who were laughing the most fiercely, Yang Fan curled his lips in disdain.
It's terrible to be uneducated...
But he can despise others, but he dare not despise His Majesty Li Er.
Seeing that His Majesty Li Er was on the verge of breaking out, Yang Fan quickly said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. What I mean is that you draw conclusions without proof. Even if Your Majesty kills me, I will still be dissatisfied!"
His Majesty Li Er said with a ferocious smile: "If anyone in the world dares to disobey, I will kill you until you do!"
Yang Fan shuddered, let me strangle him, is this gunpowder?
So he quickly said: "Your Majesty, let's go and verify it together, and then we will know that what I said is true!"
In feudal society, there were no human rights at all, and reasoning with the emperor was simply nonsense.
