"Half a month!" Li Shimin repeated: "Half a month, from Chang'an to Liaodong." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Not bad." Xia Hongsheng nodded, and added: "Counting half an hour, an ordinary horse can run for forty miles." A sweaty and bloody BMW, running desperately, can run more than 80 miles. This steam-driven car can run more than 120 miles on the rails! And the horse can only be ridden by one person, and the carriage can only carry several people at most. This kind of steam-driven car can carry hundreds of people and tens of thousands of catties, and at the same time can far exceed the speed of horses! ”

"What?!" Li Shimin was taken aback.

"The role of the steam engine is unimaginably great. It can be used in all walks of life, so that Datang can have a huge leap forward! Xia Hongsheng said: "Therefore, the junior son-in-law has asked the academy to support His Royal Highness King Wei and his team to develop the steam engine, as well as the use and improvement of the steam engine. ”

"Is it so powerful?" Li Shimin was taken aback.

Xia Hongsheng nodded: "The leap that the steam engine can bring to the Tang Dynasty in all aspects is just like the leap that gunpowder and firearms bring to the Tang army, and it is far more than it!" ”

Li Shimin took two breaths, stabilized his nerves, and said, "If there is such a thing, then build it!" I have always believed in the virtuous son-in-law, and I also believe that the virtuous son-in-law can take the green sparrow to make it. ”

"Thank you father-in-law for your trust!" Xia Hongsheng saluted.

Li Shimin sat back in the chair, drank a few sips of chrysanthemum tea, put down the water cup, and said: "I have one more thing, I have wanted to ask you for a long time, but I have not been able to speak. But after such a long time, there is still no movement, and I have to ask what I said today. ”

"Huh?" Xia Hongsheng was stunned: "But what's the matter?" Please let my father-in-law know! ”

"It's been two years since you got married to Changle." Li Shimin looked at Xia Hongsheng and asked, "Why hasn't there been any movement?" Just don't talk about Changle, you and the daughter of the Xu family have been married for more than a year! But there was still no movement. What the hell is going on? There are only you and I here today, and you and I are two people, virtuous son-in-law, tell me, have you asked Doctor Sun to check it? Are you sick? ”

"Poof-" Xia Hongsheng was about to take a sip of chrysanthemum tea when he suddenly heard Li Shimin's question, and suddenly squirted out a mouthful of tea.

"Unharmed! Unharmed! Xia Hongsheng hurriedly explained: "The son-in-law's health is fine, and there is nothing wrong with him!" ”

"Then why hasn't there been any movement?" Li Shimin asked.

"No hurry, no hurry! Father-in-law, there's no rush ...... this matter."

"Don't rush a fart!" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows when he ascended, and glared at Xia Hongsheng fiercely: "Only by spreading branches and leaves, strengthening the lintel, and prospering can the family business be revitalized and worthy of the blessing of the ancestors." Your Xia family is a single seedling of you, you have now passed the crown, the family is stable and prosperous, but there are still no heirs, how to be worthy of your ancestors, how to be worthy of your sister-in-law? ”

Xia Hongsheng was embarrassed, scratching his head and not knowing what to say: "This ......"

"What is this?!" Li Shimin said angrily: "If there is something wrong, please ask Doctor Sun to treat it!" Start early! Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that you are Changle's husband and make more contributions to Datang, I wouldn't be too lazy to care about your Xia family! ”

"Thank you father-in-law for your concern!" Xia Hongsheng smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that the son-in-law is unwilling to have an heir early, and it's not that the son-in-law is sick, it's really ...... It's Changle that they are still young, and their son-in-law can't let them suffer from this birth. Especially Her Royal Highness the Princess, Doctor Sun specially reminded her son-in-law that Her Royal Highness the Princess's body was weak in itself, and she had been exercising all the time before she finally got better. But if you suffer from childbirth too early, I am afraid that years of exercise will be in vain, and it will be completely damaged, and it will be difficult to recover in the future, and you will become particularly weak and sick. Therefore, it is at least until Her Royal Highness the Princess reaches the age of eighteen before giving birth. In his selfish heart, the son-in-law wants to be able to stay with Her Royal Highness the princess, and go to Baitou together. Therefore, I only hope that the princess can be healthy and long-lasting. For the sake of this selfishness, the son-in-law is willing not to have an heir. I'd rather not have children, and I don't want them to hurt their foundation because of this, and they can't go to Baitou with their son-in-law. ”

"You! Li Shimin opened his mouth, shook his head again, sighed, and said, "You can do it yourself!" Alas, I also don't want to see Changle being wronged. The queen told me a while ago that there were already rumors in those noble ladies with broken mouths. That's why I have to ask you. ”

After that, Li Shimin waved his hand again and said, "Forget it, don't talk about this." After you go back, coax Changle well, teach her to enlarge her heart, don't feel uncomfortable because of these gossips, and don't be angry with those idle women who chew the root of their tongues. ”

"Yes, the son-in-law will appease the princess well." Xia Hongsheng nodded and replied.

"Go ahead." Li Shimin said: "Make arrangements early, if the Persian prince wants to come to see me, come early." ”

Xia Hongsheng saluted and received the order, and then retired and left the palace.

After Xia Hongsheng left, Li Shimin arrived at the apse and saw the eldest grandson queen waiting there.

The eldest grandson, Empress Yingying, bowed, and then went over to gently straighten Li Shimin's collar.

"That Xia Hongsheng is also very affectionate to Changle." Li Shimin let Empress Changsun straighten his collar for him, and said, "You should have heard it too!" ”

Empress Eldest Sun nodded: "The concubine heard it, and after hearing it, she came to the back to wait for Your Majesty." Let's go to Baitou together. It's really a look. Changle is also fortunate to have this husband, and the concubine is also happy for her. ”

"Humph! Abducted my daughter! He dares to try Changle! Li Shimin snorted and said, "But Xia Hongsheng is also attentive to Changle. Back then, because of Changle's words, he insisted on pulling Yuan Daochang to mess around with him, making a hot air balloon, and saying that it was Taoist Xiangrui...... If it weren't for the fact that the hot air balloon was so useful, he wouldn't have to eat a board this time! ”

Empress Eldest Sun covered her mouth and chuckled, the demeanor in that smile was graceful, after so long, Li Shimin's eyes still lit up.

Not to mention the things in the palace, after Xia Hongsheng left the palace, he rushed to the Sifang Pavilion without stopping.

When I arrived at the Sifang Pavilion, I found Belus, and sent someone to find Wang Xuance, saying that I wanted to have dinner together.

Seeing that Xia Hongsheng came over so quickly, Belus called Wang Xuance again, knowing that Xia Hongsheng must have come up with a way, so he was excited for a while, and wanted to ask several times, but he endured it again.

I endured it for a while, and finally heard the next person spread that Wang Xuance had arrived outside the Sifang Pavilion. He immediately rushed out, and the three of them went to the Drunken Immortal Tower to find a seat, wanting to discuss how to teach Belus how to ask the emperor to open his mouth to ask for the earth-shattering thunder.
