"How is it, Imperial Father? Your son is right, right?"
Li You's smug voice was heard.
Li Shi Min opened his eyes and looked at him, nodding with satisfaction,"As expected, it's not hot at all. There's only a comfortable warmth. Did you think of this?”
"Hehe, I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it."
Li You had just revealed a proud smile when Li Shimin changed the topic.
"Although the heated brick bed is not bad, you're a dignified prince. How can you think about these evil things all day long?”
Li You was dumbfounded. This…when you said this, at least put away the comfortable expression on your face!
Moreover, he clearly liked the brick bed, but he still wanted to scold the inventor of the brick bed. What kind of person was this? Was there any justice left?
" I…" Li You rolled his eyes and said with an aggrieved expression," Seeing that spring is so cold this year, I was afraid that my father would suffer from the weather and catch some rheumatism, so I thought hard and invented this thing?”
In this era, there was no fire, so Li You took the title of inventor without hesitation.
Li Shi Min was stunned and thought, If that's the case, then Yang Jie is really thoughtful…
Li Shimin's rheumatism was only known to Empress Zhangsun and a few close concubines.
Li You's mother, Consort Yin De, was obviously not among them, so Li Shimin did not think that Li You would know about this.
However, Li Shimin didn't know that Li You really didn't know, but that didn't stop him from blabbering.
In any case, it was not good to take good care of oneself in ancient times. Most people at this age would have this disease. Li You said it casually. If he said it wrong, there was no loss. If he said it right, he would gain!
" No," Li Shimin suddenly came back to his senses." If you were thinking of this brick bed for me, then why did you build it in your own house in the first place?"”
"Tsk, as expected of an emperor. Your mind is sharp.”
Li You's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, but this was not a problem for him. He immediately explained,"Before today, this fire brick bed was only something that your son had conceived and had not seen the actual results. If I rashly installed it for Imperial Father, what would happen if something went wrong and injured Imperial Father?”
After all, the heated brick bed needed to be lit, so strictly speaking, it was considered dangerous.
Therefore, this was simply reasonable and convincing!
The more Li You spoke, the more righteous he became."Therefore, before this, your son will naturally have to personally test it out. After ensuring that there are no problems, I can give the safe fire bed to Imperial Father!”
Li You's righteous words made Li Shi Min extremely satisfied.
"Alright, Yang Jie is very thoughtful!"
He nodded. The more he looked at Li You, the more satisfied he felt. Why didn't he realize that this child was so filial in the past?
Li Shiming was in a good mood, and the haze he had when he came over was swept away.
" The few of you," Li Shimin called out to the craftsmen one by one," when you go to Taiji Palace, get me one of these stoves."”
"Yes!"
The craftsmen knelt down to receive the decree. Li Shimin waved his hand and said,"All of you, go. Zhen is going to court.”
Looking at Li Shimin leaving briskly, Li You heaved a sigh of relief."Phew…I finally managed to fool him.”
But soon, Li You felt that something was wrong.
"Hmm? Leaving just like that? You took my good stuff and skills, so aren't you going to reward me with something?”
Thinking of this, Li You felt very sad and indignant. How could a dignified emperor like Li Shimin be so stingy?
……
In the imperial court, it was customary to report on state affairs.
After the officials finished their discussion, Li Shimin made the final decision. There was nothing important today, so the morning court session ended very early.
However, today seemed to be a little different. It was clearly time to retreat, but there was no sound of "retreat".
"What happened to Your Majesty?"
Seeing Li Shiming sitting on the throne, the officials were all dumbfounded.
"Could it be that Your Majesty has something else to announce?”
"But I didn't hear anything about it before?”
All the officials were confused, but they didn't dare to say anything. In short, seeing Li Shiming's warm face, they knew that it wasn't a bad thing.
" Dear ministers," Li Shimin said," Today, I have obtained a divine item called the fire brick bed. This item can keep me warm in winter without the worry of poisoning. It can also improve my rheumatism."”
Li Shimin's opening speech made all the officials look at him.
This was the first time they heard that Li Shiming had rheumatism.
Li Shimin continued,"I wish to bestow this item to those of you who are not old enough, so that you do not have to suffer from the cold of winter."”
"Your Majesty is merciful!"
The old officials in the court said in unison. They all had all kinds of joint diseases without exception. When it came to the cold season, it was simply fatal.
Now that Li Shiming had mentioned the existence of such a divine fire brick bed, it was impossible for them not to be secretly happy. After all, no one wanted to be tortured in the cold weather anymore.
" Your family has contributed a lot to the country. It is only right for me to sympathize with you and love you," Li Shimin laughed." If you want to thank me, go ahead and thank Yang Jie. This is Yang Jie's invention."”
"Yang Jie…"
"Your Highness King Chu?"
All the officials were shocked when they heard this.
Usually, Li Shiming rarely mentioned the princes in court. Now, while Li Shiming was showing kindness to the officials, he also mentioned the name of King Chu. The meaning behind it was intriguing!
Wasn't this indirectly letting His Royal Highness the King of Chu's name enter the eyes of the officials, which was equivalent to doing a favor to the old officials in the court?
One had to know that most of the old officials in the court had high positions and power. If they could be grateful, it would undoubtedly be a huge force!
