A soldier walked up to Lin Xuan and whispered: "Master Marquis, someone is coming from the palace."
Lin Xuan frowned slightly, why was Li Shimin looking for him?
After talking to Chen Guangli, Lin Xuan came to the door.
Lin Xuan was even more surprised when he saw Li Mu waiting at the door.
"Mr. Li, what brought you here?" Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Li Mu smiled and said: "This old slave has given orders from His Majesty to invite the Marquis to come to the palace."
"Oh, I'll go with Mr. Li right now." After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he ordered his soldiers to bring the horse over.
Li Mu whispered: "Master Marquis, Your Majesty is a little curious about the fairy treasure, so he asked Master Marquis to take it with him."
Lin Xuan was stunned and spent a long time figuring out that Li Shimin wanted a bicycle.
He had heard people talking about it before and didn't care about it, but now it seems that Li Shimin actually believes it.
Many emperors in ancient times liked to pursue immortality, and it seems that Li Shimin was not exempt from this practice.
Li Shimin seems to have died at the age of fifty-two. Legend has it that in his later years, Li Shimin followed the same path as previous emperors and began to pursue the art of immortality and began to take large amounts of elixirs. As we all know, in ancient times, elixirs that were said to be capable of immortality contained a large amount of heavy metals. Long-term
Taking these elixirs is harmful rather than helpful.
In addition, he was addicted to female sex in his later years. As the saying goes, "Sex is a bone scraper", which accelerated his death.
Now it seems that these are not accidental, Li Shimin has long been determined to live forever.
Lin Xuan did not refuse, went in and explained to Chen Guangli, and then rode the bicycle out.
No matter what, we must find a way to dispel Li Shimin's ideas.
Don't let Li Shimin pursue immortality earlier because of your own wishes. You will be guilty of a big sin.
"It's indeed a treasure!" Li Mu murmured as he looked at the bicycle.
Lin Xuan heard it, but had no intention of explaining. He had better think about how to deal with Li Shimin when he had time.
"Mr. Li, let's hurry up and don't keep His Majesty waiting," Lin Xuan said.
"Yes, yes!" Li Mu nodded and got on the carriage.
The Forbidden Army is responsible for guarding the palace. Although the requirements are very strict, they are actually quite content inside. After all, no one dares to come to the palace to cause trouble.
The Imperial Guards at the gate of the palace were all dumbfounded when they saw a man riding an unknown monster in the distance towards the palace.
Lin Xuan rode to the gate of the palace, stopped, saw the imperial soldiers in a daze, and said, "Hello everyone!"
Normally, if a lord was polite to them, they would still feel very happy.
But today they are all in bad condition. The leading general stammered: "Marquis of Jingyang County, this... what is this?"
"It's just like a horse, it's used for traveling." Lin Xuan said.
Like a horse?
Could it be that this is the legendary Iron Horse?
The Forbidden Army was in disarray. They were a little curious about the bicycle, but they didn't dare to approach it, thinking it was a monster.
At this time, the carriage that Li Mu was riding in arrived. Li Mu got off and said with a smile: "Master Hou's fairy baby is really fast."
Fairy's bastard baby.
Lin Xuan was a little speechless. If it was really a fairy treasure, wouldn't it be easier to fly directly?
However, those banned people believed him and looked at Lin Xuan with astonishment.
No wonder it can run very fast without being pulled by animals. It turns out to be a treasure of the fairy family.
Lin Xuan said: "Mr. Li, let's enter the palace quickly."
After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he rode towards the palace gate.
Although the Imperial Army was afraid of the immortal treasures, they still did not forget their responsibilities.
The leader said: "Master Hou, although this is a treasure of the Immortal family, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to ride in it directly."
Currently, there are only four people who can ride horses and sit in sedan chairs in the palace.
Apart from the two emperors Li Yuan and Li Shimin, there were only Empress Changsun and Li Tai.
Li Tai was too fat and Li Shimin felt sorry for him, so he made an exception and allowed him. Even Li Chengqian did not receive such treatment.
"What's wrong? I know that horses and sedans are not allowed in the palace, but this is a bicycle. Is there such a rule in the palace?" Lin Xuan said pretending to be surprised.
The leader of the forbidden army almost collapsed. This thing didn't exist before. How to regulate it?
But he couldn't afford to offend Lin Xuan because of his status, so he had to say with a grimace: "Master Marquis, please go in and ask for permission. If your Majesty allows it, Master Marquis can ride in."
"Your Majesty has a lot of things to do, so why should you go to His Majesty for instructions on such a small matter? Just follow the rules. Your Majesty is magnanimous and magnanimous. Even if you are angry, you are right and I will not blame you." Lin Xuan waved his hand and said.
To be honest, the palace is so big that it is too troublesome to walk step by step.
Lin Xuan's unwillingness to go to court has something to do with this.
The leader almost cried.
Magnanimous?
Do you have any misunderstanding about His Majesty?
Li Shimin was magnanimous towards those ministers, many of whom made mistakes in the palace and were executed.
"Why, do you think His Majesty is not magnanimous enough?" Lin Xuan said with a smile.
The leader turned pale with fright, and said quickly: "No, no, no, your Majesty is wise, mighty, magnanimous, and everyone knows this."
Li Mu said: "Master Hou, if you ride in, I won't be able to keep up with you. You'd better bother Master Hou and go with me."
Lin Xuan said with some regret: "Okay!"
In fact, he just wanted to try what it would be like to ride a bicycle in the palace, but he knew that this might not be possible.
…
Li Shimin looked at the bicycle and asked, "Is this the fairy's treasure?"
"Your Majesty, this is a bicycle, made of iron, not some fairy treasure!"
Lin Xuan rolled his eyes and asked if he could stop being so superstitious.
Li Shimin kept his eyes on his bicycle and did not pay attention to Lin Xuan's expression. Hearing Lin Xuan's words, he said: "How do you use this thing? You can show me how to use it."
"Yes, I will demonstrate it to His Majesty right now!" Lin Xuan was overjoyed.
It's really hard to find a place without any hard work, and it takes no effort at all to get there.
He had just spent so much effort at the palace gate and failed to ride a bicycle in the palace. Unexpectedly, Li Shimin actually took the initiative to let him ride.
If I had known what I was spending all that time on.
"Your Majesty, the main hall is too small, go outside." Lin Xuan said.
He thought about it but gave up the temptation of riding a bicycle in the main hall of Manlu Palace.
Li Shimin nodded, got up and followed Lin Xuan outside the hall.
Under Li Shimin's gaze, Lin Xuan rode his bicycle in circles in the square.
There is a large square outside the main hall. It is very spacious and the stone bricks are laid very smoothly. It is very easy to ride. Lin Xuan rides faster and faster.
After circling around, Lin Xuan stopped next to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin asked: "The two wheels are in a line without any support. They can still run upright. If you say you are not a treasure of the immortal family, is it possible that you can do magic?"
…
"Sister!" Princess Yuzhang hurriedly ran into Changle Palace.
Li Lizhi looked at Princess Yuzhang's hurried look and said, "Yuzhang, if my mother sees you like this, she will punish you for copying the female rules again."
Princess Yuzhang stuck out her tongue and said: "Sister, the Marquis of Jingyang County brought a monster into the palace. I heard that you can ride it. Let's go and have a look."
"Monster? What monster?"
Li Lizhi knew that Lin Xuan was good at taming animals. He had tamed four tigers before. Could he have tamed some strange beast this time?
"I don't know. We'll find out when we go and take a look." Princess Yuzhang said.
Li Lizhi was a little moved and asked, "Where is he now?"
"I said I went to see my father, he should be in Ganlu Palace." Princess Yuzhang said.
Li Lizhi shook her head and said, "Isn't this good? The Manlu Palace is not in the harem. If we go there, we will definitely be punished."
"It's okay, let's go secretly and come back after taking a look." Princess Yuzhang suggested.
"Okay then." Li Lizhi couldn't resist the temptation in the end.
