Chapter 96: Wei Zheng's daughter
"Pedals?" Li Shimin couldn't imagine what it meant, and said, "Take me to see." ”
"Your Majesty is here." Li Mu led in front and took Li Shimin to the next room, pushed open the door and invited Li Shimin in. There were four people in the room, two resting and two sitting on a strange wooden chair with a pedal at their feet.
The four of them didn't recognize Li Shimin, but they recognized Li Mu, and hurriedly got up to salute. Li Mu waved his hand, and one of the four said: "Manager, the second group is on duty, I don't know what the manager commands?" ”
"It's nothing, this distinguished guest wants to see the principle of the 'lift', you just do your own thing." Li Mu pointed to the two people on the wooden chair and said, "You two, come down first." ”
"Yes."
The two of them answered and gave up their positions. Li Mu invited Li Shimin to sit up, and he was about to sit up, when Li Chengqian next to him grabbed it and said, "I'll try it!" After sitting down, he shouted to Li Tai at the door, "Qingque, you go into that cage." You're so fat, if you can be promoted, others will definitely be able to ascend! ”
Li Tai suddenly felt heartbroken, but he still listened to Li Chengqian's words and obediently got into the cage. Empress Eldest Sun watched from the side, a little worried, and said, "Li Mu, there won't be a problem, right?" ”
"Rest assured, it's been tried hundreds of times, and there will be no problems."
Empress Eldest Sun was still not at ease, so she came to the cage and waited. Li Chengqian waited impatiently and shouted: "Qingque, are you okay, I'm going to step on it!" ”
"That's it!"
Li Tai roared, and Li Chengqian immediately stepped on it. Li Shimin also worked hard, although he was the emperor, he was only thirty-two years old. In the later generations, thirty-two-year-olds, there are few people who are restrained and playful. Moreover, Li Shimin is a person with great curiosity, strong desire for knowledge, and is also active, Li Mu did not point out his identity, of course he wanted to take the opportunity to play.
The father and son stepped on the pedal together, the pedal moved fast, the pulley also rotated fast, and Li Tai's frightened voice came: "Slow, slow, fly, fly!" Scary! ”
Li Chengqian's bear child has a seizure, and the more Li Tai shouts slowly, the faster he will be. Li Tai just screamed like this, and quickly went up to the fifth floor. Finally, the cage reached the fifth floor, and the cable was stuck in the bracket and could not be stepped on. Li Chengqian gave up.
Without waiting for Li Mu to explain the principle, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian got down from the wooden chairs and ran out quickly to see the results.
"Sure enough, it went up!" Li Shimin laughed, feeling very amazing, he pointed to the wooden cage and asked, "How can this wooden cage come down?" ”
"The machine is bracketed on top." Li Mu shouted: "Qingque, there is a wooden pole on the wall on the right hand side, drag it down." ”
Li Taigang crawled out of the wooden cage with a rolling belt, heard Li Mu's words, climbed up against the wall, touched the wooden pole, pulled hard, and the wooden cage swayed and came down again. With Li Tai, the guinea pig, Li Chengqian was also eager to try, and before the wooden cage could be stabilized, he had already jumped up. also stretched out his hand to help Empress Changsun, Empress Changsun was worried just now, there was still a little unbelief in her eyes, she looked at Li Mu and asked, "Li Mu, how many people can be transported in this wooden cage at a time?" ”
"Back to the queen, this wooden cage was originally used to transport building materials, and it was generally about seven catties. If it's transporting people, five or six should be fine. ”
Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Qingque can only transport three!" He alone has 200 pounds! ”
Li Tai lay at the door of the fifth floor and shouted: "Brother Huang! Can you please stop talking about me! ”
"Okay, stop arguing." Li Shimin took the lead in entering the cage, and also helped the eldest grandson queen in, and said, "Li Mu, you are waiting below." ”
Dare to love Li Shimin is also timid!
Li Mu felt funny in his heart, but he still promised to be, and said, "Your Majesty will go first, and the ministers will take care of it below." ”
Li Shimin nodded a little nervously, and after waiting for a long time, the cage did not move. He looked at Li Mu strangely, Li Mu pointed to the rope outside the cage, Li Shimin was suddenly a little embarrassed, glared at Li Mu, and stretched out his hand to pull the rope.
The bell rings and the cage slowly rises. Li Chengqian looked very excited, and the eldest grandson queen was fine, but Li Shimin was holding on to the wooden railing tightly, Li Mu almost laughed, Li Shimin, the first emperor of the ages, was afraid of heights?
After a while, the wooden cage rose to the top, and the machine was stuck. Li Shimin's family stepped on the floor of the fifth floor, Li Chengqian went to touch the wooden pole, put down the wooden cage, and Li Mucai went up.
After Li Mu went up, he put down the wooden cage and then closed the door. Li Shimin had just eased his fear of heights, and he was in the mood to look at the furnishings on the fifth floor.
This is Li Yuan's residence, to say surprising, there is not too surprising place, the overall setting is not much different from Da'an Palace, etc., but because it is in the air six zhang high, it gives people a feeling of Lingyun, and Li Shimin also found that these five floors are much smaller than the four floors below, so there is a huge slow platform all around, standing on the slow platform and looking around, all of them are lower buildings than the heavens and the earth, and suddenly there is a heroic feeling that everything in the world is under the feet.
"Heaven and earth...... Sure enough, it's heavenly! ”
Li Shimin sighed with emotion, called Li Mu over, and asked, "Although this elevator is ingenious, don't you think it's cumbersome?" Every time you go up and down the stairs, you have to ring the bell, don't you have to have someone waiting downstairs at any time? ”
"Your Majesty, it's not necessary to go downstairs. There are slides on these five floors, and the slides can reach any of them. As for the fact that there are people waiting downstairs at any time, it is necessary. There are twelve hours in a day, and every two hours there is a group of people, and a group of four is divided into two groups, and each group is divided into two groups, and each group is only for one hour. I don't get tired, and I can do other jobs the rest of the time. The minister's design is mainly due to the fact that the emperor is old and can take one step less, so it is also appropriate to spend more manpower for this. ”
“……”
Li Shimin smiled speechlessly and bitterly, and he understood why his father loved Li Mu so much, the fact that this kid was welcoming was first-class.
"Your Majesty, the minister will take you to see the slide downstairs, please ...... here"
Just when Li Mu introduced Li Shimin on the fifth floor, the first floor ushered in Guozijian and his party, and there was a little unpleasantness.
Kong Yingda came with Li Ji, Li Ji is a general, a national prince, and Li Mu's father-in-law. But when he came to Kong Yingda, although Xiao Chen's father-in-law and Kong Yingda did not have a holiday, he knew that Li Mu and Kong Yingda had a holiday, and now that he had left the palace, he would inevitably have to deal with Li Mu more in the future, and of course he would have to pat Li Mu's sycophants more. When he saw Kong Yingda bringing someone here, he had the intention to embarrass him.
Kong Yingda came with anger, and before he came today, he was ridiculed by the Louvre, Zheng Jing and others. Because Li Yuan beat Wei Zheng with his hands and said that he wanted to kill someone, this time the heaven and earth opened, and the Shandong Shi clan had already stated that they would not participate, and they would not support it, and even Wei Zheng did not come. Kong Yingda is also a Shandong scholar, and usually has many contacts with the Louvre, Zheng Jing and others.
Previously, Wei Zheng and Li Mu had several confrontations, but Kong Yingda did not stand up and express his position. But this can't actually blame him, you know, Kong Yingda was suffocated twice in Li Mu's hands. As the old saying goes, if you eat one trench, you will grow wiser, and if you eat two trenches and still bite the bullet, it is stupid. And the final result also proved that Kong Yingda did not charge forward is a correct choice.
But the Louvre and Zheng Jing don't care about this, as a Shandong scholar, you are groveling if you don't stand up. Do you dare to go to heaven and earth to congratulate? Hehe! Adore the rising sun!
Kong Yingda can't say it, he is the prince of the country and the prince's teacher, how could he not come to congratulate Li Yuan. Unless he doesn't want to do it anymore, like the Louvre and Zheng Jing, he was ordered by Li Shimin to leave Chang'an and return to his hometown to be a 'grass people'.
Kong Yingda is not without integrity, but his integrity is not enough to support his resignation. Even if he gritted his teeth and resigned. At this time, he couldn't resign, because he had already received the will, and Li Mu would go to Chongwen Hall tomorrow to accompany the prince to study. Kong Yingda was humiliated twice, tomorrow is the time for him to take revenge, at this time, how can he resign?
Just now he came in with Li Ji, and after seeing Li Ji give him a gift list, he was respectfully invited upstairs. Kong Yingda felt that he was no worse than Li Ji, so he also learned something, handed the gift list to Xiao Chen's father-in-law, and then walked to the stairs.
But before he took two steps, he was stopped by Xiao Chen's father-in-law.
"Kong Saijiu, your position is over there." Xiao Chen's father-in-law smiled, quite the true biography of his godfather, so that people couldn't see the slightest hint of ridicule, but Kong Yingda's face was dark, please? Which? Li Ji went upstairs and sat down, you let me sit on the first floor?
Kong Yingda was holding back the fire in his heart, he didn't think that Xiao Chen's father-in-law wanted to deal with him, but it was Li Mu's explanation, and he immediately became angry, and said: "Why can Li Ji go upstairs, but the old man can't?" What is the rationale for this? What about Li Mu? You let him come out and give the old man an explanation! ”
Xiao Chen's father-in-law still smiled, but the words he said were a little heart-wrenching: "Don't worry about Kong Sacrifice Wine, you don't need our manager to come forward, I, the deputy manager, can explain it to you." We are in heaven and earth, who we are, and where we are, we can't go beyond it. As you saw just now, the guests who came today are all nobles. If you want to go up to this second floor, there are two standards, either the prince, or the third grade or above, coincidentally, you are not. So, you can't do it, you can only sit on the first floor. ”
"The old man is a ...... Kong" Kong Yingda's words came to his mouth, and he was suddenly pulled by a junior behind him, and the latter came closer and said: "Uncle Kong, be cautious." ”
Kong Yingda calmed down at this time, yes, people don't let you go upstairs, so you have to bring out your ancestors? If you really do this, even if you go upstairs, won't you also respond to what Li Mu said, is it because of the blessing of the ancestors?
Xiao Chen's father-in-law saw that someone grabbed Kong Yingda and asked him to retreat from the edge of the digging pit, so he couldn't help but take a closer look. He was a sharp-eyed person, and he could see at a glance that this was a girl dressed as a man, so he smiled at the time: "Kong Sai wine is so elegant, I came to congratulate and brought a girl, can we ask, who is this girl?" ”
"Back to this father-in-law, I am the daughter of Wei Zheng, and my name is Wei Yingluo."
