This was how the Great Tang was right now. After fifty years old, one could only live one day at a time. Most commoners would be old by their thirties or forties, or even call themselves old. No one knew how many more days they could live.
Li Shiming was the emperor, but he had only lived for 52 years.
If the mysterious Donglin Country could really allow its citizens to live past 150 years, then Li Shiming could continue to work for another 100 years. What kind of golden age would that create?
Li Shiming could ignore everything else, but he was extremely concerned about the arrival of the Great Tang.
Not only did he want to save face, but he also wanted to prove to Li Yuan and to the world that although he had not obtained the throne properly, he was still a renowned ruler. The Great Tang deserved to be in his hands, and the ones at fault were those he had killed, including his brothers!
Li Lizhi felt uneasy when she saw Li Shiming tugging at his beard and not saying anything.
She had boldly expressed her thoughts and used everything she could think of, but she still didn't know if she could persuade Li Shiming.
She also knew that Li Shiming would not believe it unless he saw it with his own eyes.
Even if Li Lizhi had seen it, she had to go through repeated denials and affirmations before she slowly accepted it.
However, she believed that immortality was the common goal of all emperors, so it would more or less increase the weight of her previous words.
"Lizhi, my son, you go first. Let me think about it!”Li Shi Min said slowly.
"Yes, your son will take his leave!"
Li Lizhi had no choice but to leave the Hall of Political Affairs and return to her temporary residence.
She was not old enough to move out yet, but it was about time.
After Li Lizhi left, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun remained silent.
After a long time, Li Shi Min asked dryly,""Guanyin maid, do you think Lizhi's words are trustworthy?”
"Very credible!" Empress Zhangsun replied.
"Hmm?" Li Shi Min frowned.
"Previously, Lizhi didn't tell me what she told His Majesty, but she did mention many details of life.
This is not something that anyone can fabricate. Your Majesty, please take a look at the gift Lizhi brought back from the King of Donglin!”Empress Zhangsun said slowly.
"Oh?" Li Shi Min asked in surprise.
Then, Empress Zhangsun led Li Shimin to a large silver-white box. She stretched out her palm and pressed it on the surface of the box. A click sounded from the box and it slowly opened.
Li Shiming's eyes almost popped out…
If opening the box could be considered a mechanism, then what were the colorful lights on it?
It looked like a magic weapon of the legendary immortals.
"This is similar to an oil lamp. It's just beautiful.
Your Majesty, please take a look. This is a facial mask. When you apply it on your face, you can take it off after an incense stick has been burned. It will make your face as clean as jade!
This…
And this…"
After the initial shock, Li Shiming got used to the boredom.
After all, these things were exclusive to women. As an emperor, he was not even interested in understanding them.
Empress Zhangsun also noticed it. She took out a rectangular plastic bag and opened it to take out two paper books.
"Hiss…"
Li Shiming gasped when he saw the book!
Although it looked different from the books of this dynasty, Li Shimin realized that it was a book.
However, such a white paper and such a gorgeous cover was simply…
On it were written 'Pinyin' and 'Dictionary'!
"What is this?" Li Shi Min grabbed it and stroked it.
"Your Majesty, a book of Pinyin and a dictionary, this concubine believes that they are important treasures of the country!
Your Majesty, please take a look!"
Empress Zhangsun gently flipped open the page of the book and used the Pinyin that Li Lizhi had taught her before to easily spell out a few words.
"Hiss…"
Li Shi Min felt his heart tighten and he almost fainted.
It was so convenient and terrifying!
Li Shimin felt that the inventor of this spell was worthy of being called a saint, comparable to Confucius!
"With this pronunciation, the people will be enlightened and everyone will be like dragons.”Empress Zhangsun said.
"Then, then wouldn't the people's rebellion be unstoppable?”Li Shi Min instantly thought of this question.
"Lizhi said that when people are wise, they know right and wrong. They understand the truth and are not fooled by others!
Add enough food and hide wealth among the people. Who will rebel?!”
