With dual PhDs in materials science from his previous life, he transmigrated to ancient times and became a perpetually snubbed, impoverished scholar.
His family had reached the end of their r...
The emperor asked Li Guang to stand up and speak, but Li Guang looked like someone with a leg problem, and after trying for a long time, he still couldn't get up.
It seems I'll have to go up there and cooperate with Li Guang's performance.
Li Xue left her seat, quickly went to Li Guang's side, and helped him up.
Upon seeing that it was a princess, Li Guang quickly thanked her, saying, "Thank you, Princess."
"Li Guang, you are a hero in promoting agricultural products in our Great Northern Dynasty. If we had known that you had difficulty walking, we would not have let you come to the capital. This is too much trouble for you."
“Princess, please forgive me. In Narcissus Village, I am in good health. I could even knock down a cow.”
"This trip to the capital involved more than ten days of carriage travel, which left my legs feeling weak and unresponsive. I just stretched a bit, and I feel much better now."
The emperor couldn't help but laugh as he listened to their conversation.
"Li Guang, the princess is right. You are a meritorious official of our Great Northern Dynasty. You have made great contributions to the promotion of high-yield crops."
I hope you can cultivate more crop varieties and promote them in the Great Northern Kingdom, benefiting the people of the world.
"This humble subject will heed Your Majesty's teachings, devote himself to the study of agriculture, and cultivate more varieties of crops."
Li Guang's answer was firm, his voice aged but full of confidence.
"Guards, bestow upon Li Guang two hundred taels of gold," the emperor announced.
"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Majesty," Li Guang said excitedly.
He was in dire need of money right now, and although two hundred taels of gold wasn't much, it could buy a lot of grain.
Soon someone brought over a tray with four gold ingots, each worth fifty taels of gold.
Li Xue grabbed four gold ingots and stuffed them into Li Guang's pocket.
The Emperor observed this and nodded approvingly. Li Xue's ability to mingle with the old farmers in the countryside was truly a sign of being approachable. When would the First Prince, Li Hui, learn this?
Next, Li Xue helped Li Guang step back and stand to the side.
From this point on, people kept coming to report things to the emperor. They all reported good news and not bad news. The emperor listened and kept nodding.
At this moment, Ma Wenchuang, the Grand Steward of the Imperial Household Department, walked up to the Emperor, his face full of joy, and said:
"Your Majesty, the Di Nu horse that the Imperial Stables received as tribute from the Kingdom of Haili a year ago has now been tamed. I wonder what will be done with this precious horse?"
Upon hearing this, the emperor immediately became excited and almost jumped off his dragon throne.
"The Di Nu horse has been tamed, that's great! Now where is this precious horse?"
“It’s right outside the venue. If His Majesty wishes to see him, he can have someone bring him over,” Ma Wenchuang said.
"Quickly bring over the Di Nu horse, I want to take a good look at it."
Seeing the Emperor so excited, Ma Wenchuang was also very pleased and immediately ordered someone to fetch the horse.
All the civil and military officials of the court knew that Di Nu was a precious horse. Since Haili Kingdom was unable to tame this precious horse, it had no choice but to reluctantly offer it to the Great Northern Dynasty.
The Di Nu horse is extremely wild, with great endurance and speed; it can easily travel a thousand miles a day.
During the process of taming this horse, many of the horse trainers at the Imperial Stables were injured by it. However, the Emperor was very fond of the horse, so it had to be tamed.
Finally, a year later, the horse was tamed. After many riding trials, the precious horse was finally ready to be ridden.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Di Nu Ma horse was led up, and its appearance immediately amazed everyone present.
The Di Nu horse was tall, powerful, and full of energy. Its coat was pure white without a single stray hair, and its appearance made all other horses pale in comparison.
The BMW was right in front of them, and four horse trainers from the Imperial Stables stood around Di Nu.
The emperor stood up, left the dragon throne, and wanted to get a closer look at Di Numa.
The emperor, dressed in a dragon robe, walked towards Di Numa. His dragon robe shimmered in the sunlight.
The Di Nu horse, which had been relatively quiet, suddenly became uneasy when it saw a person gleaming with gold walking towards it.
Di Numa pawed at the ground with all four hooves, raised its head and neighed, as if trying to break free from the trainer's restraints.
Several horse trainers sensed something was wrong; the horses seemed about to get frightened, so they quickly exerted force to try and control the Di Nu horse.
But the horse was no ordinary horse; the more you tried to control it, the less willing it became, and it began to struggle desperately.
The horse trainer, controlling the horse's head, gripped the reins tightly, which made the horse very uncomfortable. It began to become agitated and struggled desperately to break free.
The crowd below gasped in surprise, which seemed to further provoke Di Numa, who kicked wildly and quickly sent several horse trainers flying.
Unbound, the Di Nu horse began to gallop wildly on the stage, clearly frightened.
The emperor was stunned by what he had just witnessed. He stood there, not knowing what to do.
When Di Numa saw the person covered in golden light still in front of it, it assumed that this person had also come to control it, and became even more panicked, so it tried to kick the person away as well.
Di Numa galloped towards the emperor, it seemed the emperor was destined to be kicked away.
At this moment, Ma Wenchuang was terrified. He knew that if the emperor was injured by Di Numa, he would be doomed.
Without thinking twice, he used his own body to block Di Nu's horse, trying to protect the emperor.
Di Numa simply shook his head, and Ma Wenchuang was sent flying.
At this moment, Di Numa was very close to the emperor. Although there were many military officers present, it was too late for them to rush over and save the emperor.
At this moment, the person closest to the emperor was Li Guang, who had been standing beside Li Xue and had not stepped down.
With his father on the verge of death, Li Guang didn't hesitate. He leaped forward and charged towards Di Nu's horse.
Di Nu was very tall; when it raised its head, it was much taller than Li Guang.
After Li Guang rushed up, he grabbed the horse's neck and then wrapped his own legs around one of the horse's legs.
Li Guang often wrestled with Xiao Hei at the farm, and had already become incredibly strong.
Di Numa never dreamed that his neck and one leg would be controlled by someone.
Because the horse's legs were out of control, Di Nu's horse lost its balance and was thrown to the ground by Li Guang.
Li Xue, who was standing still, suddenly woke up. She quickly stepped forward and pulled the still bewildered emperor aside.
The emperor was now soaked to the bone, and he knew he had just been in a dangerous situation and had almost died.
Seeing that the emperor was out of danger, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and began to watch the contest between Li Guang and Di Numa.
Li Guang just said on stage that he could wrestle an ox to the ground. It seems that this was not bragging; this farmer is indeed quite strong.
People were puzzled, though. Li Guang had given the impression of walking unsteadily, but the way he had thrown Di Nu's horse to the ground was truly astonishing.
Let's not think about that for now. Let's see if this farmer can subdue Di Numa.
Then look at Li Guang. After throwing Di Numa to the ground, he jumped out of the circle. He knew that Di Numa was good at kicking people. If he were kicked by it, he would be in big trouble.
