Chapter Five Hundred and Fifteen: Success(2/2)
After proofreading, Chen Zhengtai was summoned to the palace.
Li Shimin has been in a good mood recently. Since he met His Majesty, Chen Zhengtai naturally talked about his cooperation with the aristocratic races one by one.
In fact, he had submitted a memorial to talk about this matter before, and today he reported the matter in detail.
Li Shimin smiled and said, "I was wondering before, why these people have not rebelled and have become much more docile recently. It turns out that... it is because of this. You are indeed a general."
Chen Zhengtai said ashamed: "What is my three-legged kung fu? Compared with Your Majesty, I have to learn more from Your Majesty."
Li Shimin then laughed cheerfully and said, "You should not be too humble in life. Otherwise, it will become hypocritical. You can do these things with confidence. I have been free and comfortable these days, and I have lost a lot of trouble at once, but I feel a little uncomfortable."
Chen Zhengtai also smiled and said, "That's right, Your Majesty gradually got used to it."
Li Shimin immediately said, "How was your Xining built?"
"This... I don't know, but I'm reminding them that the construction of Xining is secondary. What's important is that the project of other palaces must not be delayed."
Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh and said, "This... there is no need to rush for a moment."
He walked with Chen Zhengtai in the back garden of Ziwei Palace, walked a few steps, and said, "The Supreme Emperor's health has become worse and worse these days, I'm afraid it will not work."
He said it lightly, as if he was in a very complicated mood.
Li Yuan is indeed old at this time.
It was rare for the ancients to live to Li Yuan's life.
Chen Zhengtai was inconvenient to say anything at this time. The father and son were a pair of enemies. I don’t know how many people rebelled, and some people wanted to bring Li Yuan with him, which made Li Shimin very alert.
Therefore, Chen Zhengtai rarely makes any suggestions on Li Yuan’s issue.
Li Shimin sighed: "He is my father, and I want to be a good son too. But... who made me born in the Tian family?"
Chen Zhengtai said: "The emperor is the son of God and the parents of thousands of people. Therefore, if the emperor only cares about the personal relationships of one family, it will be unfair to all people in the world."
Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhengtai with appreciation, and then said, "I won't talk about this anymore. I'm just a little bit of emotion. I heard that you are laying steel on the ground?"
"Ah..." Chen Zhengtai didn't expect that Li Shimin would talk about it and he went to this place. He was silent for a long time before saying, "Yes."
It's still the same old thought, and I feel heartbroken about money! So Li Shimin said: "Is this too extravagant? I know you have good intentions and hope to attract refugees and make the world more stable, but isn't the wooden tracks enough? Then lay steel... and let the horse walk on it... what's the use?"
Speaking of such a big event, Chen Zhengtai became serious and said, "Because Erchen... wants to get a car that can walk on the rails by himself."
"The wooden ox and the horse flowing?" Li Shimin looked surprised.
Chen Zhengtai thought for a long time and couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, yes, it's really a wooden ox and a horse."
Li Shimin shook his head and said, "That's just a rumor, it's not worth believing. How could you, such a smart person, believe this? In my life, I have never seen a car that can be moved by itself without feeding animals. You... don't be deceived. Who told you that you can build this car?"
Chen Zhengtai was honest at this time and said, "It's my son who wants to try it out, and there are some people from the Academy of Sciences, together..."
Li Shimin couldn't help but say, "Anyway, I don't believe this. You always say science, science... I have a little understanding of science. I have also learned this science recently. But isn't the science just to question those ghosts and monsters? Why do you believe this now?"
Chen Zhengtai immediately said, "But the wooden ox and horse are not a ghost."
"Isn't it a ghost?" Li Shimin became serious.
After all... the railway project is too big, and it is covered with rails on the ground. It costs so much money. This is not a trivial matter. In Li Shimin's opinion, you must be very cautious no matter how you look!
So he said, "A wooden cow or a horse, if it can leave by itself, wouldn't it become a spirit? This thing that has become a spirit is not a ghost?"
Chen Zhengtai: "…"
So, what can he say?
Chen Zhengtai felt that he had been taken into the ditch.
I actually think... what Your Majesty said is really reasonable.
He had to say silently in his heart: If it weren't for my two-year life, I would really believe it.
After slowing down, Chen Zhengtai coughed and said, "It may not be strange if you can move. For example, for example..."
For example, for a long time, he couldn't think of something to refer to for a moment. Finally, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your Majesty, have you eaten buns?"
Li Shimin frowned and couldn't help but say, "What? What is the bun? Can you move?"
Chen Zhengtai hurriedly said: "You can't move, it can eat."
