"Your Highness, I don't understand my humble position."

Li Tai sat cross-legged, looked at the device in the wooden box in front of him, and said, "You go ahead and shake this king." ”

"Whoa."

It was summer in Guanzhong, and the guards listened to the orders of King Wei and kept shaking the coil in turn.

After a while, I saw a bear catching a chicken, and a girl was sitting on the bear's back.

Seeing Uncle Wei Wang, Xiao Qingqing grabbed the bear's ears so that it would no longer catch chickens and walked towards this side.

"You don't have to attend a lecture today?"

"My father and mother are going to give lectures to my aunt and uncles, and I can come out and play." Xiao Qingqing patted the bear on the head.

It squatted down.

Xiao Qingqing can get off the bear's back.

"You understand this?" Li Tai frowned and looked at the magnet and coil.

"I don't understand."

It was not surprising to hear the reply, she was only a seven-year-old child.

Xiao Qingqing looked at it again and wondered, "Huh? It doesn't seem to be quite the same. ”

Li Tai turned his head to look at her again, "What's different." ”

Xiao Qingqing frowned and took two steps, "Actually, I saw a drawing in my father's study, which was originally used to make a lathe, but then I don't know what happened, and my father gave up again." ”

"What's different about that drawing."

Hearing Uncle Wei's question, Xiao Qingqing suddenly stopped talking, and stood in place with a well-behaved smile on his face.

Li Tai said with a bitter face: "Uncle will make you a roast duck to eat." ”

Seeing that she still did not speak, he glared at his guards again, and commanded, "Didn't you hear? ”

"Whoa."

The guards hurried away.

After a while, one plucked the feathers, and the cleaned duck was brought over.

Li Tai tied up the duck with iron fiber and put it on the shelf to roast it, and looked at his niece again.

Only then did she speak: "Actually, Uncle Wei's way is wrong, the drawing I saw at my father's place is a magnet rotating around a copper wire." ”

"Huh? A magnet revolves around a copper wire? ”

"Well, and there's not that much space." Xiao Qingqing took a wooden stick and drew on the ground, drew a circle and drew a few squares.

Children are not very good at drawing, and she can only follow her own memory, and said, "That's roughly it." ”

Several guards around Li Tai also stepped forward and looked at them with a frown, trying to find some possibility of epiphany from this messy painting.

Xiao Qingqing said again: "And the space inside is very small, and the magnet is very close to the coil, about three inches away." ”

Li Tai thought about it, "I see. ”

Xiao Qingqing's eyes were already on the roast duck that was smoking on the grill.

Li Tai took the stick and drew on the ground, thinking about the appearance described by Xiao Qingqing.

"Well, it's like a roller, so do you want to shake it by hand?"

Seeing that Xiao Qingqing was full of expectations, waiting for the roast duck to mature, with a flawless appearance.

When the roast duck is cooked, Xiao Qingqing puts it in the food box.

Li Tai asked, "Don't you eat it?" ”

She picked up the food box and hung it around Xiong Da's neck, "I have to give it to my brother, otherwise he will complain to his father." ”

"Your brother and sister are really ......"

"Actually, my brother is very smart."

The two sisters and brothers on the mountain are not simple, and after thinking about it, they feel that the children taught by the brother-in-law and the imperial sister are simple.

The sky in the middle of the Guanzhong is cloudy.

In the summer, everything here is lazy, even the family bear hides under the eaves and does not want to move.

Xiao Qingqing opened the food box, "Eat." ”

Be careful Ann said happily; "Sister, where did this roast duck come from?"

"Uncle Wei gave it."

"Oh, Uncle Wei is so nice."

Xiao Qingqing said helplessly: "Originally, it wasn't for you to eat." ”

Careful An said again: "My sister is also very good to my younger brother. ”

Her eyes looked at the courtyard, Hua Qingchi didn't get tired of it, she still liked it in winter.

In winter, Huaqing Pond will not freeze, and the water will emit white smoke in the cold winter, like a fairyland.

In the summer, it has no waves, no white smoke, and it looks very ordinary, just like Weishui outside.

In Chang'an City, in the palace, Li Shimin was playing with a screw, repeatedly sliding the nut into the screw and then out again.

"How long have Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng been in Lishan?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the two Taoist elders went to Lishan in winter and have not returned yet."

Li Shimin bowed his head, his eyes fell on the copper screw, and then asked, "What are they doing?" ”

Li Junxian replied: "Yuan Daochang has been investigating the mysteries of heaven and earth recently, and there are many people in the Daomen in various parts of the Central Plains, looking at the heavens, water and soil, and every time there is a record, they will be sent to Lishan. ”

"What are they going to do?"

"The last general will go to Lishan to inquire."

Li Shimin put down the screw in his hand, "No need, that is Yuan Daochang's lifelong pursuit, Zhang Yang can give guidance, it's okay." ”

"Huh." He chuckled lightly and said, "I know that Zhang Yang wants to tell the world that the earth is round, but there are still many people who don't believe it. ”

"Your Majesty, the last general has heard of those who climbed Mount Tai, and when they stand on the top of Mount Tai, they look at the earth differently than they do in ordinary times."

The Wude Hall was quiet, and seeing that His Majesty was no longer speaking, Li Junxian bowed and saluted, "The last general has lost his words." ”

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you didn't mean to." ”

"The last general is willing to be punished."

Last year, there were still many people in the advice whether to Taishan to seal the Zen, this year these voices have disappeared, and even the government and the opposition are reluctant to mention Mount Tai again.

The eunuch outside the hall walked in small steps, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, Yan Lide is here." ”

Li Shimin put ice cubes in the wine bowl with grape wine, nodded and said, "Let him in." ”

Yan Lide is Yan Liben's younger brother.

The Yan family is from the Yan family in Henan, and the inheritance of family education is craftsmanship and painting.

Passed down from generation to generation, Yan Liben has concentrated on craftsmanship, and Yan Lide hopes to be able to pass on poetry and books.

Yan Lide's appearance is very similar to that of his brother, and he looks thinner.

Li Shimin handed over a bowl of grape wine.

He took it with both hands and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty." ”

"I know that you are obsessed with poetry, calligraphy and painting, and let you take Yan Liben's place, and I have wronged you."

"My brother is obsessed with craftsmanship, and the minister has warned him, but now he has gone to Lishan and is unwilling to lead the Ministry of Labor, and the minister is ashamed of his brother."

Li Shimin smiled: "Look at this." ”

The screws and nuts were placed in front of Yan Lide.

He looked at it for a long time and said, "At first glance, this thing is nothing. ”

Li Shimin took a sip of grape wine and said with a smile: "Recently, a lot of grapes have been harvested in Guanzhong, and after you go back, the Western Regions will also pay a lot of tribute, so you can bring some back when you leave." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Can you see a thing or two?"

Yan Lide stared at the thread for a long time, and replied, "Your Majesty, is this thing from Lishan?" ”

Li Shimin nodded.

"If the Ministry of Engineering came to cast, it would never be able to do such a skill, and these grooves were made very neatly."

Yan Lide gasped, "How is this thing polished?" ”

Li Shimin smiled again, "The Marquis of Lishan County said that he created this thing, so he presented it to me, saying that this thing can take Lishan's casting technique to the next level, but I haven't understood its use yet. ”

Yan Lide tried the screws and nuts, and said in a low voice: "Mortise and tenon joint...... Well? It's strange why it was made like this. ”

Seeing that he didn't understand for a while, Li Shimin's expression was a little more disappointed, "You take it back and take a good look." ”

Yan Lide's eyes were still on the screws, and he bowed, "The minister retreats." ”

This person walked all the way out of the Wude Palace, still muttering to himself, Li Shimin took a sip of wine in discouragement, and the Ministry of Industry has not been able to make a spring so far.

Now Lishan has one more thing that the Ministry of Industry can't make.

When Li Junxian also left, Li Shimin slapped the table angrily, "Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang!" What the hell is this kid going to do? ”

His Majesty lost his temper again for no reason, and after the princesses and princes left, His Majesty's temper also deteriorated.

This time, he was angry because of the Hou of Lishan County.

If Zhang Yang really gets rich, forget it.

Now Lishan has opened its doors and is right under its nose.

Li Shimin smiled stunned, "I can't even understand, what is he going to do?" ”

The emperor's heart is unpredictable, and His Majesty's angry appearance is also so unfathomable that people can't understand it and can't see through it.

A row of eunuchs outside the hall each held a basin of ice cubes, and they all had the same idea.

In the past, His Majesty's heart demon may have been Xuanwu Gate, but now His Majesty's heart demon is Lishan.

When eating, I often have no appetite because of Lishan.

When you fall asleep, you will also wake up from your dream because of Lishan.

Lishan has made progress every time, and the Ministry of Industry has been standing still for many years.

This is the reason for His Majesty's anger.

In the East Palace, Li Chengqian listened to a eunuch's report and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I am really angry because of Lishan again." ”

The eunuch said: "It is said that Lishan made an object called a screw, and I don't know what it is for." ”

"Even if Lishan is placed in front of people wholeheartedly, my father is still afraid."

Li Chengqian was wearing loose clothes, stood up and said: "If it is Lonely, Lone will not be so suspicious of Lishan, as long as Lishan is dedicated to the community, whatever Zhang Yang wants, Lone will fulfill him." ”

The eunuch lowered his head with a smile on his face, and the people of Chang'an City probably liked King Jin.

Now that the King of Wei has left Chang'an City, the crown prince's position as the prince is so secure.

King Jin is just a child who has not reached the crown.

Naturally, he had to befriend His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first.

Li Chengqian said in a deep voice: "You will continue to stay with your father, don't let your father be too tired." ”

"Oh, Your Highness has orders, the old slave dare not obey, if His Royal Highness the Prince ascends the Taiji Hall early, the old slave ......"

"Smack!"

A loud slap was slapped in the eunuch's face.

Li Chengqian said coldly: "Get out." ”

"Hey! Old slave, get out, get out of here......"

Recently, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has become more and more harsh on the people in the East Palace, and the Crown Princess is worried about this scene in her heart, and now the Prince is in his thirties.

has been a prince for 14 years, and his heart has changed a lot in the past two years.

The crown princess Su Shi wrote a letter and whispered to the people around her: "Send it to Lishan." ”

The palace maid put the letter in her sleeve and replied, "The maid will go now." ”

Not long after, another chamberlain came to report, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the King of Jin is here." ”

Li Chengqian immediately changed his smile.

Outside the East Palace, Li Zhi walked with Gongsun and Di Renjie, and passed by a eunuch with a panicked look.

Seeing that the crown prince was already standing outside the palace, Li Zhi hurriedly saluted and said, "Brother Huang." ”

Li Chengqian laughed loudly: "Childish slave, enter the palace quickly." ”

Li Zhi introduced: "This is Di Renjie. ”

When he saw the crown prince, Di Renjie just glanced at it, and felt that the sharp gaze made him nervous and his fat face twitched, and he immediately lowered his head and saluted: "Boy Di Renjie, I have seen His Royal Highness the prince." ”

"You're a friend of the childish slave?" Li Chengqian couldn't help nodding, "Well, that's good, enter the hall and speak." ”

"Your Highness."

The little lady of Gongsun stood outside the hall with a horizontal knife.

The east palace was very cold, and there was still some sweat on Li Zhi's forehead, but he was all contained at the moment, and he sat down with Di Renjie.

Li Chengqian ordered people to pour grapes and brewed, and said with a smile: "Child, what have you been doing lately?" ”

Li Zhi replied: "Di Renjie and Zhang Cambodia took their younger brother to Pingkangfang, which was very fun. ”

"Huh?"

Di Renjie held the wine bowl and froze in place, mechanically turned his head to look at King Jin, and even heard the clicking sound of the neck joints, and complained in his heart, and said secretly: "Didn't you say yes, you want to keep it secret?" ”

Li Zhi said: "A few days ago, we also went to Qujiangchi to take a look, those craftsmen repaired the house is very interesting, they only know how to pile up, but they don't know the triangular bracket, it's really laughing at my brother." ”

"Child, you should play less on weekdays."

Li Chengqian's eyes observed Di Renjie, seeing that the child was sitting motionless, and sweat was dripping from his forehead.

"Brother Huang, I heard that Broken Leaf City has been built, and my brother wants to go and see it."

"Shattered Leaf City is far away in the Western Regions." Li Chengqian sighed: "You are still young, and you have not been given a word, how can you travel far away, my father will never agree." ”

Li Zhi laughed and said, "Then please ask the imperial brother to help my brother say a few more words." ”

"You." Li Chengqian had a gentle smile on his face, "From the time you left Lishan and arrived in Chang'an City, the mind of this joke became heavier and heavier. ”

"My brother is stupid, I'm tired of listening to the teachings of those saints, how fun Chang'an City is, when it comes to autumn this year, my brother will go autumn hunting."

"Di Renjie."

Hearing the words, he was stunned for a while, and then confirmed that he was calling himself, and then Di Renjie lowered his head and stood up, "Your Highness." ”

Li Chengqian bowed his head and said: "It's okay for the young slave to play, as his friend, you should also persuade him a lot." ”

Li Zhi hurriedly said: "Brother Huang, don't embarrass Renjie, the life in Lishan used to be very dull and boring, and finally came to Lishan, you should take a good look, just like my brother-in-law said in the poem, see all the Chang'an flowers in one day." ”

Li Chengqian smiled again, "Lone plans to hand over some of the matters of official education to you to arrange, although you have not performed the crown ceremony, but the matter of sharing worries for your father and emperor is not divided into morning or evening." ”

"My younger brother still doesn't know the constitution of the DPRK and China, and I'm afraid that if I go, it will only cause chaos."

"It's okay, it's good to have more experience for you."

"Can the younger brother go to the Government and School Administration to serve later?"

"No way!" Li Chengqian's expression became a little serious, "I'll go tomorrow." ”

"My brother takes the order." Li Zhi sat down discouraged, his face drooping and losing interest.

After sitting in the East Palace for a while, drowsiness hit at noon, and Li Chengqian went to rest early.

Li Zhi and Di Renjie were able to leave the East Palace.
