The sun gradually approached the horizon, but the heat did not disappear at all, but Lin Yi didn't care about the heat. He just stared at the city wall in front of him with his mouth wide open in shock. The towering city wall made him so small, and the solemn and simple style set off a majestic...
However, if it appeared in the Magic Continent, Lin Yi would say that it must be the masterpiece of an architect. But in this alien world, he didn't find anyone who could do it.
"This...who built this?" Lin Yi pulled Li Chengqian's sleeve and asked.
"This? It should be the previous dynasty?" Li Chengqian scratched his head and replied.
"Was... was it built by ordinary people?"
"Of course it is, it couldn't have been built by gods!" Li Chengqian said matter-of-factly.
Lin Yi was silent. It was undeniable that he always looked down on them with a superior attitude in his heart, because he knew more and because he was smart enough. In his eyes, the people of the Tang Dynasty were just people from a lower country.
He teased the senior officials of the Tang Dynasty, and he liked to see their shocked expressions. Although he never showed it on his face, he was indeed enjoying people's admiration while despising their short-sightedness.
But when he looked at the city wall in front of him, it turned out that he was the one with the short-sightedness. Ordinary people could create works that he thought only masters of architecture could achieve. It turned out that he had been self-righteous.
Lin Yi took a deep breath. He wanted to adjust his mentality and start his life again.
Li Chengqian looked at Lin Yi in confusion. At this moment, he felt that Lin Yi was a little strange. He shook his head to get rid of this boring thought. They had been together all the time, so how could they be strangers?
In the Liangyi Palace
Li Shimin sat in the main seat, with Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling sitting on both sides. The four children knelt on the ground facing Li Shimin. There was silence in the hall, and the four children could hear their own beating heartbeats. They felt uneasy in their hearts.
I don't know what kind of punishment they will face, but the trouble they caused this time is indeed quite big.
"You all know you're wrong, right? Are you willing to be beaten or punished?" Li Shimin's clear voice sounded, which also made the four children breathe a sigh of relief. They were almost depressed to death.
Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling sat there and wanted to laugh. When the emperor came up, he would first absolve him of his crime, and then punish him, so that he could explain it to all the officials. He was really a protector of the calf!
The three children of the Li family knelt on the ground, secretly looking at each other, and no one said anything. They knew Li Shimin well, and knew that he had not finished his words, and if he answered now, he would be severely punished.
But Lin Yi didn't know! Lin Yi, who had just integrated himself into the role, thought about it carefully and let it go if he was beaten. He had already figured it out and didn't want to torture himself anymore, so he raised his head and asked sincerely: "If you are willing to be punished, do you want to be punished?"
What's the penalty?"
Li Shimin smiled, what a relief! Each of these little bastards is better than the last, and now it is difficult for them to be fooled. It is better for his godson to know that he is unhappy and take the initiative to calm him down.
Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling flashed a look of sympathy. Li Chengqian closed his eyes and couldn't bear to watch this scene. Why did he forget to tell him when he came back! Let him do such an idiotic move.
"As for you, I will punish you by working for me for one year." Li Shimin touched his chin, what a great opportunity! Those craftsmen are so stupid that they are almost terrible at everything. It would be different if Lin Yi taught him step by step.
He was making small calculations in his heart.
Lin Yi thought about it, a year of work is a long time!
"Then if you are willing to fight..." Lin Yi hesitated and was interrupted before he finished speaking.
"Want to fight??! Then hit a hundred big boards and beat him to death." Li Shimin raised his sword eyebrows. What a good boy, if you can't step down even if I give you a step, do you insist on being beaten?!
Lin Yi was stunned! How can there be such a thing? If you want to be beaten, you can be beaten to death? Then just say that you will be punished with a year of work and it will be over? Why give two options?!….
Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling both kept their mouths shut tightly, fearing that they would laugh out loud if they let it go.
"Then...I am willing to punish you." Life is precious. Even if Lin Yi knew that Li Shimin could not beat him to death, if he continued to persist, he probably would not get any good results.
"Well, then it will start after the Jin Dynasty is completed in October! Since you have brought your three brothers into danger, I will fine you another two years of salary. Are you convinced?" Although Li Shimin was satisfied, but
I still plan to let him remember this lesson.
"I'm convinced..." Lin Yi's face twitched, and he didn't pay for his work. He had never seen such a black-hearted nobleman.
"Others will make twenty large boards and copy ten parts of the Classic of Filial Piety. By the way, Lin also wants to copy the Classic of Filial Piety. After finishing writing, send it to your mother! All go down!"
Li Chengqian let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that his father's anger was almost gone! It was really pitiful for Lin Yi, who was used as a punching bag for everyone.
The four little ones left Liangyi Hall quietly. Li Tai glared at Lin Yi fiercely from an angle that no one else could see. Li Ke just shook his head sympathetically and went to the yard to receive his punishment.
Lin Yi was depressed. After playing twenty boards, the three of them were still alive and kicking. If I had known he would choose to play too!
Li Chengqian took Lin Yi to pay his respects to his mother.
Queen Changsun checked them carefully and found nothing serious, so she let the two children go. Li Tai and Li Ke happened to come too, and the four children quietly listened to Queen Changsun's instructions.
An hour later, Li Chengqian took the aggrieved Lin Yi back to the East Palace.
"Why do you punish me with one year's work before punishing you with twenty pieces of work?" Lin Yi couldn't figure it out and asked directly.
"Because you talk too much! How can it be better if you go and answer the conversation when my father is angry?!" Li Chengqian said angrily.
Ah?! Lin Yi was stunned. It turned out to be because of this! He thought that because the three of them were relatives and he was just his godson, he was punished severely. It turned out that he was overthinking!
Lin Yi felt relieved and raised his eyebrows with a smile on his face.
Li Chengqian really admired Lin Yi, who was sometimes too narrow-minded. How did his mind work? Why was it different from ordinary people?
"Your Highness, Sun Simiao Sun Zhenren is asking to see you." Wang Bao burst into tears when he saw His Highness returning safely. He had only been out for a few days, and he had lost weight again. After reporting the report, he gave Lin Yi a resentful look, and followed this nonsense.
His Highness really suffered a lot when his children were together!
"Please come in quickly!" Li Chengqian said hurriedly. He knew the relationship between Lin Yi and Sun Simiao.
Lin Yi? Where is Lin Yi?!
Li Chengqian suddenly found that Lin was missing from the room. He looked everywhere, and then saw Wang Bao pointing at his wardrobe.
Not knowing why, he walked over and opened the door, only to see Lin Yiwo inside, putting his hand on his lips, signaling him to be silent.
Before he could understand, a clear voice came from beside him.
"Why do you have to hide when you see your master?"
"Hey...hey, master!" Lin Yi stood up helplessly.
He felt a little guilty. After entering the palace, he never went to see his master. Today he did this and tomorrow he did that. He was never idle, and then he got into trouble... and now he was caught by Sun Simiao again.
"I heard that your ability is so great that you are envied by heaven? What? Your ability has become great, your wings have become strong, and you want to fly?" Sun Simiao squinted at him.
Lin Yi grimaced, wanted to fly? He never wanted to fly again!
Lin Yi took advantage of his younger age and pretended to look pitifully at Sun Simiao. He gently nuzzled over and pulled on Sun Simiao's sleeve.
"Master~~~~Fu~~~~" A sweet cry shocked the three of them. Lin Yi froze on the spot. Did he call it by himself? Did he really call it by himself? Eh~
~He shuddered!
Looking at Li Chengqian and Sun Simiao, they stood at the door, kicking one foot in and one foot out, looking at him in shock, as if they would run away without hesitation if he made any more noise.
Lin Yi slapped his forehead with his hand and sighed softly. Pretending to be soft is indeed not his strong point! Isn't it just to avoid being punished? As for forcing himself to be like this? He still needs to be himself, even if the master sprinkles itching powder on him, he will admit it!
