"Haha! Mencius said that when heaven assigns a great responsibility to a person, he must first work hard on his mind, strain his muscles and bones, and starve his body! Marquis Yong'an, I really appreciate your teaching and practice~!"
As luck would have it, Li Zexuan had just finished training his students when Li Er came on horseback not far away and laughed loudly.
Behind him were the queen, prince, princess, and hundreds of civil and military officials!
Li Zexuan was startled and quickly stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, Li Zexuan, respectfully welcomes you!"
The students from Yanhuang Academy on the bank and the people from Lantian County who came to plant trees also quickly bowed and saluted: "See you, Your Majesty!"
There are a lot of people here, thousands of them, and the voices shouting together are like loud bells, resounding through the sky.
Li Er likes this feeling of being supported by all the people the most. After all, which emperor doesn't have a little vanity! He raised his hands with a smile and said: "No courtesy! Today is the Arbor Day designated by the imperial court. I am so happy that you can come here to plant trees~!"
The reason why the people of Lantian County are willing to plant trees today is just because Li Zexuan has been promoting afforestation recently. But now that they heard Li Er's words, they all moved their hands excitedly as if they were being conferred a title of prince. I don’t even know where to put it!
You must know that the other party is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty! The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty actually praised them personally. How could they not be excited~?
As for the students of Yanhuang Academy, they all held their heads high. Li Er was the nominal dean of Yanhuang Academy. Today's praise made them, the Emperor's disciples, very proud. At this time, there was no student who was not I would rather plant a tree!
"Haha! Keep going! Keep planting trees!"
Li Er said something to the people on the shore, then turned to Dugu Xin and ordered: "Come here, distribute saplings and tools to the officials!"
"Here!"
Duguxin took the order and left.
At this time, Empress Changsun and Princess Changle who were on Luanjia also came down. Changle smiled and said: "Father, Changle also wants to plant trees! The queen mother is not in good health, so Changle helped plant her share!"
When Queen Changsun heard this, her eyes were filled with love, "Changle, my mother's body has been warmed up all winter, how can she be as delicate as you said? You, go plant trees with Cheng Qian and the others, don't be tired! Queen Mother will follow you Father, let’s plant it together!”
It is now the end of March, and it is not as cold as before during the day. It is precisely because of this that Li Er dared to let Queen Changsun leave the palace, otherwise Queen Changsun's Qi disease would easily relapse.
On the other hand, Chang Le, not only has her Qi disease been completely cured, but she also has Taoist Qi in her body, and her physical condition is many times better than before. Li Er is completely relieved about her!
"Well! Changle, you and Cheng Qian go to plant trees. Your mother has a father here!"
Li Er smiled slightly.
His face is full of love!
"Um!"
When Changle saw this, he went to find Li Chengqian and others next to him.
After a while, all the civil and military officials were given a shovel and five saplings. Seeing that the emperor and queen had planted the trees themselves, what else could the ministers say? They all started looking for a place to plant trees in groups!
"Xiaoxuan, what's the name of your new book? I came directly after the court today. I really don't have time to read it!"
Two brothers, Li Chengqian and Changle, insisted on planting trees together with Li Zexuan. The former came here to "cuddle his thighs" and "make soy sauce", while the latter came...
While planting trees, Li Chengqian asked quietly.
He and Chang Le are both one of the few people who know the true identity of Pi Xiake!
"Chengqian, when you go back later, don't you know that someone will buy you the latest copy of "Dahua Jianghu"?"
Li Zexuan rolled his eyes and said angrily.
There was no doubt that he was the one digging the tree pits. Li Chengqian was weak and could not be counted on, and Changle... forget it, he couldn't bear to let the little girl do such rough work!
Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Hey! Can't I wait? In the final analysis, it's still your fault. It doesn't matter if you publish the new book a few days earlier or a few days later. Why do you have to rush it today? Wait for the officials to finish planting the trees. , it won’t be noon until we get back!”
It was okay if he didn't say it, but Li Zexuan became even more depressed when he said it! Because he didn’t insist on releasing a new book today! All this was "arranged" by Ma Zhou, for which he stayed up half the night last night!
"As the heir to the empire, Cheng Qian, how can you lose your ambition by playing with things? Here, come and dig a hole, and Changle and I will help you prop up the tree~!"
Li Zexuan straightened up, handed the shovel into Li Chengqian's hand, and said with a straight face.
Anyway, there were only two trees left. Even if Li Chengqian dug slowly, he could finish digging before noon.
"Well...."
Li Chengqian was immediately dumbfounded.
Changle couldn't help but smile and said: "Hehe! Okay, okay! Brother Prince, come dig a hole! Brother Xiaoxuan and I will help you support the tree!"
The Taoist Qi in the little girl's body not only recuperated her body, but also made her look countless times better than before. When she smiled, she really had a stunning look that charmed all living beings!
Li Zexuan was briefly lost for a moment, then came back to his senses.
Li Chengqian pretended to be angry and said: "Wow! Changle! You actually joined forces with Xiaoxuan to bully your eldest brother! If you think I have good things in the future, will you send them to Changle Palace?"
Chang Le smiled tenderly and said, "Brother Prince will not do that! Chang Le knows that Brother Prince treats Chang Le the best!"
Well, with the little girl’s words, what else can Li Chengqian say? He shook his head, rolled up his sleeves and started digging a tree hole!
"Eh? Gao Ming, your tree hasn't been planted yet?"
After a while, Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin, and Li Tai came over with shovels. The three of them were in a group before.
"No! Chou Niu, Baolin, Qingque, you have finished planting them so quickly~?"
Li Chengqian raised his head and said in surprise.
He had heard from Li Zexuan before that each student in the academy had been allocated at least eight saplings. If Cheng Chumo and the others were in a group of three, that would be twenty-four saplings. It would not be easy to plant them all!
"Haha! What is this? A mere twenty or so saplings are not enough to fill my teeth. Oh, by the way! Gao Ming, have you read Pi Xiake's new book~?"
Cheng Chumo mumbled and asked again.
Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "Not yet!"
Cheng Chumo said regretfully: "Oh! Forget it!"
After that, he turned to Li Zexuan and said: "Shan Chief, Qingque and Baolin and I have finished planting the trees, so we are going back to the academy first! This time, I might be able to learn something from Pi Xiake's new book. When the time comes, maybe I, Cheng Chumo, can become a god in one book! Haha!"
He didn't know where this confidence came from. Li Zexuan was speechless. He thought for a while and said, "Chu Mo, next year's Arbor Day, I want to plant a tree in your heart!"
Cheng Chu was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously: "What~?"
Li Zexuan smiled and said: "The name of that tree is Bi (bi) tree (number)!"
Cheng Chumo was still confused: "What do you mean?"
Li Zexuan said angrily: "It just makes you feel a little nervous! Are you the only one who still wants to write? You should pass all the subjects first!"
"puff!"
"Hahaha!"
Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Yuchi Baolin burst into laughter after realizing it. It was really Li Zexuan who was too "foolish"!
Changle blushed and wanted to laugh, but was embarrassed to do so. The little girl thought to herself: "Brother Xiaoxuan is usually full of talent and a humble gentleman. I didn't expect him to make such a joke. Although this joke is vulgar, it sounds good." Smile!”
"Damn! Xiaoxuan, are you scolding me? Ah~~!"
