Zhao Qing was scolded and retreated repeatedly. Suddenly, his feet staggered and fell to the ground. He quickly got up, knelt down in front of Li Shimin, and shouted: "Your Majesty, this is all slander, it's all slander, I'm wronged!"

Li Shimin did not listen to his defense and said to Eunuch Gao beside him: "Get his jade pendant to show me!"

Eunuch Gao responded and walked to Zhao Qing. Zhao Qing wanted to block it, but was pushed away by Eunuch Gao in one go, and took his jade pendant in his hand. Li Mu looked at it from the side. It turned out that Eunuch Gao had skill.

Eunuch Gao presented the jade pendant, Li Shimin took it in his hand and fiddled it aside, saying, "Zhao Qing, I thought you were a clean and self-disciplined censor. Although he was a little more intense when the report was correct, he was still a good official. But I didn't expect that you were actually a wise man! How do you explain this jade pendant!"

"I... This is a treasure passed down from my family!"

Li Mu sneered and said, "Zhao Zhongcheng just said that he was from a poor family. Which poor family can have such treasures? Can families with such treasures also be called poor families?"

"I, I..." Zhao Qing said without hesitation, "Yes, my wife's dowry!"

"Zhao Qing, you are arrogant!" Li Shimin pointed at Zhao Qing and cursed: "In front of me, I dared to change my words, which shows that there is no truth in your mouth! You are worthy of being the censor? I am really blind and raised you, such a group of waste! The person who came, drag him down for me, and he was punished with thirty battles. He was dismissed from office and exiled to Lingnan. He will never return to the Central Plains!"

After saying that, Li Shimin threw Zhao Qing's "family heirloom treasure" to the ground, and with a crisp sound, it turned into eight petals. When Zhao Qing saw it, he fainted directly. I don't know if he fainted with heartache or was stimulated by dismissal from office.

Censor Zhao was dragged away, and the hall was silent. Li Mu fought against the four people, and became more and more brave as he fought, which made all officials look at him with admiration. Those who did not take him seriously before would no longer dare to underestimate him after this matter.

Li Shimin was obviously very angry. Zhao Qing was dragged away for a while, but he was still angry. The officials did not dare to speak, but Changsun Wuji spoke, which resolved the embarrassing scene.

Changsun Wuji stood up and said, "Your Majesty, since the impeachment matter has been handled, it's time to talk about the main business. Don't you have something to announce?"

"Yes!" Li Shimin remembered what he was doing today, called Li Mu, who was about to stand at the end of the civil servant team, and said, "Dear, I'll wait, what I want to announce today has something to do with you."

"Ah?" Li Mu was stunned. Not only was he stunned, but other ministers were stunned. He had just dealt with four things related to Zhulu Hou, but also related to him?

Li Shimin called Li Mu over and said, "The Marquis of Zhulu is loyal to the emperor and love the people, not just because of his words. Even when I was punished to be confined, Zhulu still cared about the people and invented a new type of plough. Compared with the ploughs used now, it breaks the ground faster and is more efficient, and saves animal power. Adult men can pull it, which is a great news for prefectures and counties that lack animal power. After experiments and comprehensive judgments, it can improve the efficiency by more than twice as much as the ploughs used."

"The Marquis Zhulu has presented this plow to me and named it "Zhenguan Plow". I discussed with Fang Xiang and others and will set up a "agricultural instrument supervisor" at the Ministry of Industry to make a large number of "Zhenguan Plows". We strive to use the Zhenguan Plows when we cultivate in the spring of next year!"

As soon as this statement was said, it was like a bomb exploded and instantly ignited the court.

An old minister came out and asked, "Your Majesty, can this Zhenguan plow really double the efficiency?"

Li Shimin glanced at this person and was Wang Gui, the minister of the sergeant, and said, "I didn't believe it at first, but I tried it myself, it's true."

Wang Gui immediately said: "I think this thing has made great contributions to the country. If the genius of the Marquis of Joglu is the genius, your Majesty should commend him."

"Commendation?" Li Shimin said: "I want to commend him too, but he is young and has been named a county marquis. I'm afraid he will commend him again..."

Wang Gui said: "Your Majesty, you have said that rewards and punishments are clear. If the Marquis Zhulu makes such a contribution, it may cause criticism. I will advise you again and ask Your Majesty to reward Zhulu."

All the officials looked at each other. Wang Gui was born in the Wang family in Taiyuan. Li Mu just said that he did not give any face to the aristocratic families, but he came out to ask for merit for Li Mu. Why is this? Some people have already seen some tricks and secretly scolded Wang Gui in their hearts for being an old man and can think of one step ahead of everything.

As the Minister of State, Wang Gui was the chief of the Menxia Province. The "three provinces" in the three provinces and six ministries system refer to the chief of the Secretariat, the Menxia Province, the Shangshu Province, and the three provinces, which is equivalent to the prime minister. Li Shimin must think carefully about what he said.

Li Shimin pondered for a while, looked at Changsun Wuji, and said, "What does the auxiliary Ji think Wang Qing said?"

Changsun Wuji, as the Minister of Personnel, was in charge of this matter. He thought for a while and said, "I have discussed that Li Mu's contribution is not a minor matter and must be rewarded. I think that he can be appointed Duan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of Works, as the Minister of the Ministry of Works, as the Minister of the Ministry of Works, as the Minister of the Ministry of Works, as the Minister of the Ministry of Works, as the Minister of the Ministry of Works, as the Minister of the Ministry of Works, as the Minister of the Ministry of Works, as the Minister of the Ministry of Works, as the Minister of the Ministry of Works, as the Minister of the Ministry of Works, this arrangement can be safe."

Duan Lun was afraid of death, so he had been away from Chang'an for several years by stepping into the mountains and rivers. His Minister of Works was basically just an airtight, and Li Daliang usually did the job of Minister of Works. It was most appropriate to promote Duan Lu from a third-rank Shangshu to a second-rank Guanglu Dafu, who had a rank but no real power. Li Daliang could also use this to correct his reputation, and Li Mu was promoted, with the best of both worlds. Li Shimin thought for a while and nodded and said, "It's great, just do it like this."

"I have another word!" Seeing that the emperor obeyed his advice, Wang Gui quickly said another sentence.

Li Shimin frowned and said, "Wang Qing, I have listened to your advice and praised Li Mu. What else do you want to say?"

"Your Majesty, I think the arrangements for setting up the 'agricultural instrument prison' are inappropriate. Your Majesty, if the Zhenguan plow is only manufactured in the agricultural instrument prison, even if the craftsmen who have devoted themselves to Chang'an come to make the Zhenguan plow, it may be difficult to provide the needs of the people of the world before the spring of next year."

Li Shimin thought it was right and asked, "What do you think Yiqing should do?"

Wang Gui quickly said: "I think it is better to let the counties and counties choose some skilled craftsmen to come to Chang'an to learn how to make Zhenguan plows. Let them go back and teach local craftsmen to make them. This will greatly improve the efficiency of making Zhenguan plows. Before the spring of next year, the people of the world will definitely be able to use Zhenguan plows."

After hearing this, everyone understood Wang Gui's plan. If the Zhenguan plow only came from the Ministry of Works, the people of the world would only be grateful to Li Mu and the Emperor. But if people from all counties came to Chang'an to learn how to make Zhenguan plows and then went back to teach local craftsmen to make this kind of kindness. If they left Chang'an and arrived in the local area, the influence of aristocratic families would be greater than that of the court. Take the Wang family in Taiyuan as an example. After they learned the craftsmen they sent back, they would say in the local area that this new plough was invented by Li Mu, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works. Will the emperor let the world be promoted?
