Chapter 63: Divine Skill
After Li Tai and Li Ke finished eating Cheng Chuliang's big grass carp, they returned to Chang'an very filial piety.
I haven't seen my father for a few days, he seems to have lost a lot of weight, do you want to get him a big grass carp and make up for it? Grass carp is very rich in protein.
Li Shimin, who had just finished watching the song, rubbed his temples a few times, took a sip of black plum soup, and frowned slightly.
Zong Mao is not around, I feel that my life has dropped a notch, and the little eunuch Shi Chao who is waiting in front of me has no experience, I don't know if I like black plum soup with ice? It's still Zong Mao who uses it.
He didn't want to lose his temper at Shi Chao, after all, he was determined to become a great emperor, and it was really boring to get angry at a eunuch who had no birds.
"Why didn't Cheng Chuliang come back with the two of you?"
Li Tai reacted faster than Science, and said: "He said that he would wait for a pair of medicine primers, and as soon as the medicine primers arrived, he would enter the palace." ”
Li Shimin asked suspiciously: "What kind of medicine primer?" Is the Emperor too sick? ”
"This ......"
Cheng Chuliang didn't say this, and his brothers didn't ask, and came back after eating the fish.
Li Shimin saw that the two of them were spitting and spitting, a little lost, they still haven't grown up, they are not stable enough, at least you can bring me some useful information back!
Li Shimin feels that the two of them seem to be fat, didn't they say that they went to experience life, and they would grow meat after experiencing life?
"You two are like farts and worms, staying by Cheng Chuliang's side every day, what skills have you learned?"
Speaking of this, Li Tai came to the spirit, "Father, the son has really learned a magic skill, turning water into ice." After speaking, Li Tai smiled proudly.
Li Ke also followed: "Yes, yes, Erchen has also learned." ”
Li Shimin became interested, "It's just right, there is no ice in this black plum soup today, you two will perform it, show it to me!" ”
Hearing this, Shi Chao chuckled in his heart, it's over, the ancestor explained before leaving, His Majesty likes to add ice when he drinks black plum soup, and he actually forgot about it......
He cautiously and secretly observed His Majesty's face, but fortunately, His Majesty was not angry, and he did not want to investigate his intentions.
"Shi Chao!"
Li Tai suddenly called his name, which startled Shi Chao.
"You go to Shang Pharmacy to find some ground frost, and then find two copper basins, one large and one small, and, get a bucket of water."
After receiving the order, Shi Chao hurriedly ran to the Shang Pharmacy.
Liu Guanshi, the imperial official of the Shang Pharmacy Bureau, heard that Shi Chao asked for a ground frost, and was very strange, "Your Majesty's medicine, usually the imperial doctor comes to take it personally, why did Shi Gonggong come this time, I don't know what you want this ground frost for?" ”
Shi Chao is young in the end, if he was changed to Zong Mao, he would have blocked Liu Guanshi's mouth with a sentence Is this what you should ask, but Shi Chao didn't dare.
"It's His Royal Highness the King of Yue, Liu Fengyu has to hurry up, His Majesty and the prince are still waiting!"
When he heard that it was Li Tai, the king of Yue, Liu Guanshi didn't dare to slack off, but he knew that although Li Tai was not the prince, he was the most favored by His Majesty, and even had a lot more fiefs than other princes.
Who knows if it is possible for Li Tai to kick Li Chengqian in the future and enter the East Palace, so Liu Guanshi did not make things as difficult as before, and obediently gave the frost to Shi Chao.
Shi Chao was busy for a while, and finally got what Li Tai needed in the shortest possible time.
Li Tai looked mysterious, he learned Cheng Chuliang's line, "Next, is the moment to witness the miracle." ”
He and Li Ke have already operated countless times, and every step has long been familiar to them.
It's still the same steps, it's still the same recipe.
Li Tai and Li Ke first poured half a basin of water into the small basin, put the small basin into the large basin, and then added water to the large basin.
Li Shimin looked at it curiously, muttering in his heart, if you pour this water around, it will turn into ice? Even though you're just kids, you can't be so stupid!
Li Ke saw that Li Tai was all ready, and the most important step was to be taken, he snatched the frost from Shi Chao's hand and poured it into the small basin little by little.
You can't let that guy take away all the opportunities to perform.
"Father, you have to keep your eyes open!"
Li Shimin leaned forward, looked at the copper basin, and then raised his head to look at Li Tai and Li Ke.
What about turning water into ice? Only water, no ice!
"Father, look, it's on!"
Under Li Tai's reminder, Li Shimin hurriedly looked at the copper basin again.
Divine God, the water in the small basin is gradually condensing into ice at a speed visible to the naked eye......
Li Shimin gasped, on a hot day, water can condense into ice, if you don't see it with your own eyes, who can believe it!
Shi Chao was even more stupid, in his cognition, I am afraid that only immortals can do the magic skill of turning water into ice, could it be that His Royal Highnesses King Yue and King Shu have become immortals?
Soon, the water in the small copper basin turned into a whole block of ice.
Li Tai knocked out a few pieces of Xiaoice, put them in the plum soup, shook them lightly a few times, and then brought them to Li Shimin, "Please taste it." ”
Li Shimin took the cup, took a sip gently, and then took a big sip, which was cool and refreshing!
He looked at his two sons with an extremely complicated look, "Where did you learn this immortal skill?" ”
Li Tai: "......"
Li Ke: "......"
"Don't say it yet, let me guess, it should be Cheng Chuliang, right?"
Li Tai and Li Ke glanced at each other, then nodded.
Li Shimin's strong curiosity just now faded a little, Cheng Chuliang's kid can do such a thing as borrowing blood to continue his life, and turning water into ice should be simpler for him.
It's just that, with this kid's temperament, I'm afraid he won't teach it to Li Tai and Li Ke in vain.
"Tell me, what conditions did you agree to him before he agreed to teach you?"
As soon as this was mentioned, the two of them were like children who had done something wrong, and they did not dare to speak.
If you say it, will you be beaten to death by your father?
Seeing that the two of them bowed their heads and were silent, Li Shimin knew that the price would definitely not be small. Alas, these two simple children must have been pitted by Cheng Chuliang.
"Li Tai, you say!"
Li Tai still lowered his head, his voice was like a mosquito, and he said hesitantly: "Cheng Chuliang asked for 100,000 yuan ...... from his son."
Li Shimin was a little dizzy, but fortunately, Shi Chao's eyes were quick and he quickly helped him.
Shi Chao was stunned, although he didn't see the process bright, but he had also heard that he was the second son of Su Guogong, this uncle was also fierce, he opened his mouth and asked the prince for 100,000 yuan, you dare to ask for royal money, aren't you afraid of being cut off by His Majesty?
"One hundred thousand guan, Li Tai, no matter how big your fief is, you can't be such a loser! Do you know how much the annual income of the treasury is only 35 million yuan! ”
Li Shimin was heartbroken by Li Tai's ruined behavior.
Li Tai cried with a sad face, Li Ke was even more frightened and his face turned green, and he also gave Cheng Chuliang 100,000 yuan, if he said it, he would be scolded to death by his father?
But if you don't say it, it is the crime of deceit.
He secretly glanced at Li Tai, Li Tai was also looking at him, and glanced at him, didn't you also give Cheng Chuliang 100,000 yuan, you also hurry up and tell your father, so that I can share a little pressure on my father, we are half-brothers.
Li Shimin was good at observing, he saw that the expression on Li Ke's face was a little distorted, and it was very strange, "Li Ke, are you hiding something from me?" ”
Li Ke had the urge to cry, "Father...... Erchen ...... Erchen also gave Cheng Chuliang ...... Ten...... 100,000! ”
The last few words can only be heard by Li Ke himself.
"Say it again!"
Li Ke could clearly feel that his back was soaked, and he had to bite the bullet and say again: "Erchen...... also gave Cheng Chuliang 100,000 yuan. ”
Li Shimin was going crazy, he shouted hysterically: "Cheng Chuliang, if you can't cure the emperor's illness, I will cut off your head!" ”
