Chapter 323 It's time to live in the sky
"Your Majesty, this bicycle is driven by the friction between the tires and the ground, not because of balance." Lin Xuan tried to explain in simple words.
Li Shimin asked with a puzzled look: "What is friction?"
He can understand a little bit about balance, but he doesn't understand what friction is.
"This..." Lin Xuan thought for a long time, but he didn't know what to explain to Li Shimin.
A lie must be covered up with countless lies.
Although what he said was not a lie, he couldn't explain it clearly.
It is very difficult to explain something that seems simple to the ancients.
Fortunately, Li Shimin didn't get entangled in this issue. He looked at Lin Xuan with burning eyes and asked, "Is this really the treasure of the fairy family?"
In fact, what Li Shimin wanted to ask was whether Lin Xuan knew the gods.
He sent people to investigate Lin Xuan in detail, but he never found out why Lin Xuan knew so many things.
Salt, glass, papermaking...
Lin Xuan is a teenager, why does this happen?
These things can barely be explained by talent.
What about martial arts?
Whether it is learning literature or learning martial arts, there must be someone to teach, and it is impossible to learn without a teacher.
When he received the news today that Lin Xuan had a treasure from the fairy family, which might be the reincarnation of a fairy, or an apprentice of a fairy, Li Shimin believed it a little.
Lin Xuan shook his head solemnly, and said: "Your Majesty, this is really not a fairy treasure. I have never believed that there are any gods. Even if there are, gods are said to be able to fly to the sky and escape from the earth. How could they do this? come out?"
There are countless emperors who pursued longevity in history.
It is human nature to want to live forever, even ordinary people want to, let alone an emperor.
The emperor sits on the world, how can he be reconciled.
According to statistics from later generations, the average age of all emperors in history was about 40 years old, which was even lower than the average age of ordinary people in some dynasties.
The average age of the ancient people was not high because of frequent wars and natural disasters.
The most important thing is that the level of medical care is backward, and many children die early, which reduces the average life expectancy.
But these are for ordinary people.
Those dignitaries are different, excluding other deaths, the dignitaries who died normally, their life span is not low.
Take the early Tang Dynasty as an example, Li Yuanfang Xuanling lived to be 70 years old.
Cheng Yaojin lived to be 77 years old, and Yu Chigong lived to be 75 years old.
It is recorded in history that Qin Qiong, who was in poor health, lived to be 68 years old.
There are countless famous officials and generals in the Tang Dynasty who lived to be 80 or [-] years old.
On the contrary, Li Shimin only lived to be 52 years old. This is not irony.
It is because many emperors pursued longevity, and those Taoist priests flattered themselves for fame and fortune, and a profession "Alchemy" appeared.
They don't use some medicinal materials for alchemy, but those rare metals and some messy things.
The so-called elixirs that were finally practiced were nothing but iron lumps, or that kind of poisonous lumps.It's no wonder those emperors lived so long.
"Is there really no god?" Li Shimin muttered to himself, very disappointed.
Lin Xuan said with certainty: "Your Majesty, I can be sure that there are no gods in the world. If there really are gods, the sky may not be able to live there."
Although Lin Xuan's words were a little funny, Li Shimin couldn't laugh.
Yes, if it is possible to live forever, wouldn't it be impossible to live in the sky.
"Meet the empress!"
Just as Lin Xuan was thinking about how to continue to persuade Li Shimin and dispel his idea of pursuing longevity, Empress Changsun arrived.
Empress Changsun led Li Zhi, Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang over.
"I see the Empress, His Royal Highness King Jin, Princess Changle, and Princess Yuzhang!" Lin Xuan bowed and saluted.
Lin Xuan felt a little annoyed that he had to salute his future wife, but he didn't dare to show it.
"The concubine has seen His Majesty!"
"My son sees my father!"
Li Shimin waved his hands and said, "Why are you here?"
Empress Changsun said with a smile: "The concubine heard that the Marquis of Jingyang County seemed to have made something strange, so she was a little curious, so she came here to have a look. It happened that Lizhi and the others were at the concubine's place, so they came together."
In fact, Li Lizhi and the others sneaked over here, and before they arrived, they ran into Empress Changsun.
Empress Changsun reprimanded them and led them over together.
Empress Changsun came here because she was entangled by Li Zhi and couldn't help it.
Lin Xuan had given him toys such as slides and wooden horses before, and when Li Zhi heard that Lin Xuan seemed to have made something interesting, he pestered Empress Changsun to bring him over.
Li Shimin pointed to the bicycle and said, "This is it. What did he call the bicycle? Lin Xuan, please ride around again and let the queen have a look."
Lin Xuan really wanted to ask Li Shimin, do you regard me as an acrobat?
Well, just think about it, he doesn't have the guts to say it.
Lin Xuan rode his bicycle obediently and circled the square again.
"Wow!" Li Zhi looked at the fast-running bicycle, his eyes were full of love, his little face was flushed, and he was very excited.I wish I was the one riding on the car.
Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang looked curious, why this thing can run on two wheels by itself.
When Lin Xuan stopped, Li Zhi ran over with short legs and said excitedly, "Can I ride?"
Lin Xuan was a little speechless, you have short legs, sitting on the cushion, you can't even reach the pedals, and you still want to ride a bicycle?
Thinking so, but not saying so, Lin Xuan said kindly: "Your Highness, this bicycle is very dangerous, and it is easy to fall."
Li Zhi didn't listen to this, and when he heard that Lin Xuan didn't play with him, he became anxious, and said: "If you don't play with me, sister Changle will go out to find you in the palace, and I will tell my father, queen, and queen."
Lin Xuan wished he could go forward and cover his mouth.
Damn, it's threatening at such a young age, but Li Shimin and Empress Changsun already know about it.
Noticing the unkind eyes of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, Lin Xuan smiled sarcastically.
Li Lizhi's face turned red, and she gave Li Zhi a vicious look, wishing she could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.
"Hmph!" Li Shimin snorted coldly.
Li Lizhi went to see Lin Xuan a few times, how could she hide it from him.
It's just that he pretended not to know on purpose, but now that it was exposed, he would naturally be very angry, otherwise Lin Xuan would probably be even more unscrupulous in the future.
Empress Changsun said: "Pheasant slave, come here quickly, you are still young, you can't play this yet."
Although she didn't understand the principle of the bicycle, but seeing Lin Xuan pedaling, she also knew that it had something to do with the pedals, and Li Zhi couldn't reach it at all.
"Okay!" Li Zhi returned to Empress Changsun with a little gloom.
Seeing Li Zhi's appearance, Li Shimin was speechless, wondering if he could be promising.
Empress Changsun said with a smile: "This bicycle is really a good thing. It can run so fast without eating or drinking. With this thing, Datang's demand for horses can be greatly reduced in the future. Lin Xuan has made great contributions. Your Majesty must Reward him well."
Lin Xuan was a little dissatisfied with Li Shimin because of the assassination, and she knew it.
She wanted to take this opportunity to relax.
As worthy of being a virtuous queen, when seeing a bicycle, the first thing that comes to mind is the benefit to Datang.
As for Li Shimin, when he knew about bicycles, he only thought about immortal treasures, longevity and so on.
Of course, Li Shimin couldn't fail to think of these things, but he just thought about longevity when he heard about the treasure of the fairy family.Empress Changsun from the back door brought her children over, but he didn't even have time to think about it.
Hearing what Empress Changsun said now, he quickly reacted, looking at the bicycle with enthusiasm.
