Tens of thousands of citizens in Chang 'an were obsessed with the first ten chapters of Celestial Bane. However, something big was happening in the palace!
After the morning assembly, Li Er did not announce the end of the assembly as usual. Instead, he led all the officials out of the palace!
Outside the palace, hundreds of war horses were prepared. Tang Empire was founded on martial arts. Even the officials knew how to ride a horse.
Li Er took the lead and mounted his horse. Crown Prince Li Chengqian, Prince Li Ke, Li You and the others accompanied him. (Li Ke and Li Tai were still studying in Yanhuang Academy and could not make it in time.) The Empress and the Princess' chariots followed closely behind. As for the civil and military officials and imperial guards, they followed behind the chariots. This group of people at the top of the Tang Empire headed toward the East Gate of Chang 'an in a mighty manner.
With such a luxurious line-up, it naturally attracted the attention of the pedestrians along the way!
"That's His Majesty and the officials! Why is His Majesty leaving the palace? What is he doing? "
Wherever the huge group passed, the citizens bowed. After the group left, the people on the roadside could not help but discuss!
"I don't know! It looks like His Majesty is going to bring the officials out of the city! But I haven't heard of anything big happening outside the city! "
"Eh! Have you forgotten? Today is Arbor Day! Datang Daily said that the imperial court not only established the position of Mountain Yu, but also established Arbor Day. It's today! I heard that His Majesty is going to plant trees by the Yellow River! "
"I heard that the Duke of Yong 'an brought all the students from Yanhuang College to plant trees early in the morning!"
"Whoa! I almost forgot about that! Since His Majesty and the Duke of Yong 'an are going to plant trees, how can I be idle? I want to plant trees by the Yellow River too! "
"That's right! I want to go too! "
"Eh! But I haven't finished Celestial Bane yet! "
"Bah! Second Tiger Yang, you little brat! Can't you read the novel after it comes back? Are you going to plant trees by the river with me now? "
"Ah? Dad? Why don't we go in the afternoon? "
"Bullsh * t! Come home with me to plant trees now! "
"Eh eh eh! Dad! Let go of me! "
…
The power of a role model was infinite. If one were to ask who the first role model in the hearts of the Tang people was, it would definitely be Li Er. After all, Old Li was the current Emperor. Moreover, when Li Yuan raised his army in Taiyuan, half of the world's rivers and mountains were conquered by Li Shimin, the King of Qin, personally led the army. All along, Li Er's reputation among the people was very, very high!
Now that Old Li had become the Emperor of Tang, even though the process of ascending the throne was a little disgraceful, history books were always written by the victors. Li Er's crime of murdering his brother and imprisoning his father was glossed over by the Imperial Censor as a victim who was forced to kill his brother and abdicate the throne!
Other than Li Er, Li Zexuan, the Marquis of Tang also had a high reputation among the people. Ever since Li Zexuan's' debut ', the things he did were mostly good for the country and the people. Moreover, the Yanhuang College he founded was regarded by the people as the best place for the poor children to stand out!
Therefore, when they heard that Li Zexuan led the officials out of the city, and that Li Zexuan led all the students of Yanhuang College to plant trees, the people on the streets all went home, took out their tools and saplings, and ran out of the city after the 'big group'!
"Sigh! I don't know what Father is thinking. Why did he have to plant trees by the Yellow River? Because of this, I didn't even have time to read Leather Knight's new book today! "
In the group, Li Chengqian and two other young men followed behind Li Er. The older one could not help but whisper.
Li Chengqian frowned and scolded, "Brother You, don't spout nonsense! The construction of the Yellow River Shelter Belt is a national project that Father has decided on. As Father's sons, you and I should set an example. How can we let ourselves be distracted by novels ~? "
So that young man was the future Prince of Qi, Li You!
"Yes! Brother, you're right! It was a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue! "
Li You didn't expect that Li Chengqian would hear him when he was only muttering in a low voice, nor did he expect that Li Chengqian would specially reprimand him for such a trivial matter, so he could only hurriedly apologize. However, in this little fellow's heart, it was inevitable that he would feel some degree of hatred towards Li Chengqian because of this!
"Mm! That's for the best! "
Li Chengqian nodded in satisfaction.
Even though he hadn't had the time to watch Celestial Bane, he knew that he had to prioritize. Of course, the most important thing was that the idea of Arbor Day and the construction of the Yellow River Shelter Forest was proposed by his good friend and brother. Of course, he had to support it!
…
In the eastern suburbs of Lantian County, at the entrance of the Ba River into the Yellow River, the students of Yanhuang College had split up into classes and started planting trees!
Some dug holes, some helped trees, and some carried water. It was a lively scene!
"Young master, let us plant these trees! These students from the college are all literary stars. They're going to do great things in the future! Planting trees is a rough job that farmers like us should do! "
As Li Zexuan's fief, all the farmers in Lantian County who had nothing to do came over to plant trees!
Second Elder Liu, who was only wearing a coarse shirt, did not mind the cold. He walked over and spoke loudly to Li Zexuan.
As soon as he finished speaking, some of the students nearby could not help but sneak a peek. It was obvious that they did not want to soak in sweat while digging holes to plant trees!
Li Zexuan's facial features were sharp. He snorted and purposely raised his voice, "Second Elder Liu, thank you for your kindness! But who said that scholars can't plant trees? Since they are Yanhuang College's students, they can't be lazy. In the future, they will use their knowledge to benefit the people. If they don't work in the fields and don't work, how can they benefit the people? "
Speaking of which, he was the Marquis of the Tang Empire and the Yamachō of the college. He stayed up so late last night to write novels, but didn't he come over early in the morning to plant trees? These little brats had eaten and slept well last night. Did they still want to be lazy today?
After he finished speaking, he turned around and spoke loudly to all the students with a serious face, "Whoever doesn't finish planting their saplings today, don't even think about returning to the college today! He would leave the moment he finished planting them! Do you all hear me? "
Although the students were standing rather scattered, Li Zexuan's voice was transmitted to everyone's ears without any difference. Hearing this, they all responded, "We heard it! Yamachō! "
At this time, the students who wanted to be lazy could not help but give up completely. They dug even harder!
Second Master Liu looked at Li Zexuan and the students of the Yanhuang Academy with mixed feelings. He shook his head and left. He muttered in a voice that only he could hear, "I'm sorry, Li Zexuan.
"Amazing! Young master's students will be amazing in the future! The people will have a good life in the future! "
