Xia Hongsheng stayed in the palace until it was almost curfew, and then he retired and left the palace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

stayed in Chang'an's mansion for one night, went to the military academy and the military aircraft workshop in the morning, went to Xu Xiaode's house for lunch, and entered the palace again in the afternoon.

When I arrived at the palace, I chatted with Li Shimin and drank a cup of hot tea. Just as the cup was being refilled, the waiter came in to spread the word that Duan Lun had arrived.

Li Shimin let Duan Lun in, and soon, Duan Lun appeared in the hall with a person.

Seeing the two people in front of him, Xia Hongsheng was slightly excited.

It doesn't feel too strange to be in a historical scene and witness the upcoming historical events.

Historical data contains: In the seventh year of Zhenguan, Duan Lun played the skillful Yang Siqi and ordered it to be tried. The envoy made a puppet first. Shang said: "You have to be skillful for state affairs, and the secretary ordered to make drama equipment first, how can you not do obscene and ingenious intentions!" "It's a shaved step.

Xia Hongsheng didn't know about this, there was an elective course in college, and before people do anything, they have to carefully consider whether there will be a wrong chain reaction after doing things. gave three examples, one is Zigong to redeem slaves, one is Zilu to save drowning, and the other is Duan Lun's recommendation of Yang Siqi.

Even Xia Hongsheng has witnessed many historical scenes since he traveled to the Tang Dynasty. can inadvertently witness the scene of history, and there is still the excitement of the intersection of time and space. Especially this kind of little-known thing, which only a few people know.

"Minister Duan Lun, meet Your Majesty!" Duan Lun bowed to Li Shimin. Okay, he turned his head and glanced at Yang Siqi, who was stunned because of nervousness, and quickly dragged him.

Yang Siqi woke up like a dream, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Yang Siqi, a grass man, greets Your Majesty!" Meet this Lord, Meet this ...... Little adults! ”

Li Shimin turned his head to look at Wang De and Xia Hongsheng, and grinned.

"You don't have to be formal." Li Shimin said with a light smile.

Only then did Yang Siqi dare to straighten his waist.

"Colt." Duan Lun nodded at Xia Hongsheng.

Xia Hongsheng raised his hand and saluted: "I've seen Master Duan." ”

Duan Lun is Li Yuan's son-in-law, Li Shimin's sister Princess Gaomi's concubine, Li Shimin's brother-in-law, and Li Lizhen's uncle. Naturally, there is no need to salute Xia Hongsheng.

Seeing Xia Hongsheng saluting himself, Duan Lun nodded and smiled. However, looking at the smile on Xia Hongsheng's face, he felt a little strange - how did that smile look a little like a lively laugh?

"This is what you call a craftsman?" Li Shimin looked the man up and down and asked.

Duan Lun bowed and said, "Back to Your Majesty's words, this person's name is Yang Siqi, and he is good at making all kinds of strange weapons. He was very famous in the local area, and his subordinates went home to deal with family affairs, heard about him, went to see what he made in person, and then recommended it to Weichen. Weichen asked him to come to Chang'an, saw what he did with his own eyes, and was really surprised. The things it makes are extremely exquisite, and they can be compared to the world's public losers! Thinking that His Majesty is often looking for the world's skilled craftsmen, he was recommended to His Majesty some time ago. At that time, His Majesty ordered him to make something new to try his craft, and the ministers asked him to make one first, and today he is dedicated to His Majesty. ”

"Oh? Where? Li Shimin looked at the two and asked.

"Outside the temple!" Duan Lun replied.

Li Shimin then turned his head and waved his hand at Wang De, Wang De immediately understood, walked out quickly, called a few palace guards, opened the box and checked it, and then carried it into the palace. The guards didn't leave, just stood silently around the wooden box.

Li Shimin stood up and walked over very curiously. Xia Hongsheng also went over to take a look, and saw that there was a pile of things made of wood in the wooden box, which resembled human hands, feet, arms and legs.

"What is this?" Li Shimin saw that the things inside looked like human arms, legs, and feet, so he frowned slightly and asked.

Duan Lun looked at Yang Siqi, and Yang Siqi hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, this is a wooden puppet, and the grass people haven't put it together yet." If you put it together, it's too big to bring. ”

"Your Majesty wants to try his craft, so the minister asked him to make a puppet first, so that Your Majesty can take a look." Duan Lun said on the side.

"Let's take a look." Li Shimin nodded and said.

"Okay!" Yang Siqi suddenly became excited, and immediately squatted down, took out the things in the wooden box the same, and put them on the ground. took out some gear-like things, and made them very meticulously, so Xia Hongsheng was a little surprised. With that, he took out a cloth bag from the wooden box, poured it on the ground, and poured out a few parts.

This is...... Ball joints?! And springs?

When Xia Hongsheng saw it, he couldn't help but be even more surprised.

Oh, there is a rope hanging from the waist and stomach of this wooden man, and an iron ball is hanging from it?!

It took Yang Siqi less than a stick of incense to assemble those wooden hands, feet, and torsos.

Li Shimin looked at the puppet and said, "What can this thing be used for?" ”

Yang Siqi put his spirit into this thing, so he was not so restrained. Hearing Li Shimin's question, he replied: "Your Majesty, where is there a slope here, a small demonstration will be shown to Your Majesty!" ”

Li Shimin looked at Xia Hongsheng, Xia Hongsheng smiled and said: "Your Majesty, just put it on the slope outside the hall, this puppet will go down by itself." ”

"How do the colts know?!" Duan Lun was taken aback, and Yang Siqi also opened his mouth wide and was stunned.

"That's ......" Li Shimin looked at the puppet, then turned his head to gesture to the guards.

The guards lifted the puppet and carried it out of the hall.

Everyone also came out, but they saw that several guards put the puppet on the slope next to the steps, and then as soon as they let go, they saw that the puppet actually walked up step by step by itself, and slowly walked down from the top of the slope!

"Ouch! This...... This puppet is alive! Wang De and the guards were taken aback, startled, and pointed to the puppet and screamed. There were also a few chamberlains next to him, and when they saw that the wooden puppet was actually "alive", they actually walked down step by step, and their faces turned white with fright.

"I really went down by myself!" Li Shimin was also taken aback, turned his head to look at Xia Hongsheng, and asked, "How did the virtuous son-in-law know?" Could it be that a virtuous son-in-law will also do it? ”

Xia Hongsheng smiled and said, "This wooden puppet can not only walk, but also do different action postures." Isn't that right, Master Yang? ”

"This ...... How does this little adult know?! Yang Siqi looked at Xia Hongsheng in shock and vigilance, and couldn't help asking.

Li Shimin was very curious, went down and circled around the wooden puppet a few times, and watched Yang Siqi fiddle with the puppet, making different shapes and postures, so he had a good time. (To be continued.) )
