Chapter 95 Human Elevator

Just as Gao Shilian was savoring his life, Li Mu had welcomed several waves of guests, but they were all "small officials" of the fourth and fifth rank who were not qualified to go upstairs, but were arranged to sit on the first floor. These people had no tempers. Everyone knew that the lineup of guests who came here today was even more luxurious than that of court. The court was just officials, and today's Dukes, Marquis and nobles, representatives of all major clans, were all coming. It would be good if the fourth and fifth ranks could have a seat on the first floor. It was younger than the Marquis and was not qualified to step on the stairs.

As the sky got darker, some heavyweight figures gradually came, including Wei Ting, the Minister of Personnel, Lu Zhaoling, the Minister of Civil Affairs, Li Daliang, the Minister of Works, and Yu Shinan, the Minister of Rites. This time, Li Mu did not arrange an independent private room like Gao Shilian. There were only a few private rooms, all of which were arranged independently, so naturally they could not be arranged. Each of the six ministries was one, and it was not very embarrassing to be together.

The Dukes, who are considering their relatives and distantness, are not determined by Li Mu, but by the Duke Chen after asking Li Yuan what he meant. Only those who Li Yuan remembered were qualified to be alone in a private room. As for those who couldn't remember, I'm sorry, just sit on the first floor.

From this point of view, Gao Shilian is quite a bit shameful.

After receiving Yu Shinan, Li Shimin and his family arrived. Eunuch Gao sent someone to inform him first. Li Mu naturally wanted to welcome him. Just as Eunuch Chen was finished, he took over his job. Li Mu came to the door and waited. After a while, three carriages arrived one after another, with many guards accompanying him. Li Mu nodded to Eunuch Gao and came to the first car to welcome the emperor. But the result was no, and he lifted the curtain. It was Li Tai, the little fat man.

Li Mu ignored him and then went to the second carriage, but came down to a tall and thin boy about the same age as Li Tai. Li Mu was stunned for a moment and remembered who this was. This was Li Chengqian, the prince of the Eastern Palace. He saw him once when he was worshiping the Taimiao.

The crown prince, the crown prince of the country, could not be neglected. Even though Li Mu knew in his heart that the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty was Li Zhi, who was still sipping, he still had to ceremonies when he saw Li Chengqian at this time.

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

"You are Li Mu, the Marquis of Zhulu?" Li Chengqian glanced at Li Mu, and his tone was quite suspicious. He looked him up and down, and said, "Isn't there anything strange about it... I heard Qingque say that you have an eight-foot-tall guard who can use a huge axe of 100 pounds. Is it true? Can you give this guard to me..."

"Brother, I have told you everything that is impossible. Why do you still have to ask, Li Chongyi is the brother of his brother!"

"Hmph, I almost forgot, you have also been a clan member." Li Chengqian's chin raised slightly and said, "I will not just regard people as my brother like Qingque. If you want me to call you brother, you have to show your true skills... Or if you give me that guard, I can even call you brother."

Naughty kid!

After hearing a few words, Li Mu made an accurate evaluation of Li Chengqian. I will be fooled by my second life? Li Mu glanced at the third car and lowered his voice and said to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, if you call me "Brother", I will build you a handy weapon. To be honest, I am the most powerful in creating weapons in Chang'an City. The giant axe I guarded has hundreds of kilograms, which I made by myself. How about it? Is it a deal?"

"Really?" Li Chengqian widened his eyes, and the 'big brother' almost blurted out. But when he spoke, he held back and said vigilantly: "You create it first, don't mess with me. I'm not as easy as Qingque."

"Brother, how can I fool you?" Li Tai said: "I am impressed by my brother's method of math. You forgot what I told you. I used the algorithm taught by my brother to solve the problem of chicken and rabbit cage in the same cage." As he said that, Li Tai couldn't help but glance at Li Mu, wanting to see some shock in his expression. Because the question of chicken and rabbit cage in the same cage was the same difficulty as the question of Baiji asked, he thought Li Mu would be surprised.

Unexpectedly, Li Mu was indifferent. Li Tai couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. Could it be that this level of question is not worth showing off in his brother's heart?

"What are you talking about?"

Li Shimin got out of the carriage and reached out to help Queen Changsun. When he saw the three of them talking, he couldn't help but ask.

Li Mu quickly said, "I am paying homage to the prince."

"What kind of tribute to him? The prince is underage and you have entered the clan family again. You are his cousin. There is no need to ceremonies, so you will be spared from the future." Li Shimin helped Empress Changsun get out of the car. The two of them came closer. Li Mu greeted Li Shimin and Empress Changsun. Li Shimin said again: "It's today, and you will come to Chongwenguan tomorrow. Chengqian and Qingque are also studying in Chongwenguan. You are their brothers. You should set an example and learn the sages of the sages from the masters."

When Li Chengqian heard this, he almost felt happy and gloated, saying: "Tomorrow is Master Kong's class, and it takes three hours to teach. Prepare a few more mats, otherwise your butt will not be able to bear it."

"Chengqian!" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, and Li Chengqian immediately became honest and dared not speak.

Li Mu heard some tricks and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I don't know this Master Kong..."

This time it was Li Shimin's turn to gloat: "It was Kong Yingda."

“…”

Li Mu was very embarrassed in an instant and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's okay not to take the top scorer. If I lose the bet, I will send money to Wei Zheng tomorrow."

"No!" Li Shimin said with a stern face: "A real man will justify his words. I have advised you, but you don't listen. Now you have no way back. I will go to Chongwenguan to study tomorrow. If I don't go, I will resist the order!"

"Oh..." Li Mu sighed, he looked behind Li Shimin and asked, "Why didn't the Supreme Emperor come together?"

"The things have not been packed yet, and it will be about the same time." Li Shimin looked up at the Heavenly World in front of him. This was the first time he came to this place. Seeing that the appearance and style of this building was different from that of Chang'an City, he was also very curious and said, "This Heavenly World is your design?"

Li Mu quickly said: "I dare not take credit for me. I just made a little suggestion. The specific construction was controlled by Gongsun Kang, a member of the Ministry of Works. The Gongsun family is a family of craftsmen, and the inheritance in construction is orderly. Many ingenious thoughts are also amazing."

Li Shimin looked carefully and said, "Is this building a fourth floor?"

“It’s the fifth floor.”

When Li Chengqian heard this, he reached out to count and said, "First, two, three, four, where did the fifth floor come from? Don't lie."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Your Highness, the fifth floor is above the fourth floor, but the scope is much smaller than the four floors below. Standing on the ground and looking up, it is just invisible from any angle. In fact, if you look carefully, you can find that these five floors are smaller than each floor, but the fifth floor is much smaller. There are two considerations for the design of this kind. One is to stabilize the center of gravity. The buildings on the heaven and earth are huge. If the center of gravity is unstable, the floors will be tilted as soon as they are high. The second is to consider the safety of the Supreme Emperor. Each floor of the Heaven and Earth is 15 feet high and the four floors reach 6 feet. There are also specially designed eaves that make flying claws and other places without force and cannot climb. Therefore, it is very safe for the Supreme Emperor to live on the fifth floor."

Li Shimin snorted and said, "Those who think carefully enough, it is indeed your instigation that the father left the palace! I am here to ask you, this building is made of a lot of wood. What should I do if I encounter a fire?"

"The fifth floor is designed with a slide. Once there is danger, you can slide down from the fifth floor in the blink of an eye, but you can't climb up from the ground."

"There are slides?" Li Chengqian was happy and said, "I want to go and have a look!"

Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Marquis Zhulu is indeed thoughtful."

Li Mu looked serious and said, "The safety of the Supreme Emperor is like the life of the minister... No, it is more important than the life of the minister. How dare I be negligent? The slide is just a measure to ensure the safety of the Supreme Emperor. On the fifth floor, there are as many as fifteen similar mechanisms. Even if an assassin gets to the Supreme Emperor, it is impossible to assassinate!"

"I hope it's as you said."

Li Shimin said indifferently, but Li Mu's words undoubtedly relieved him a lot.

Li Mu led Li Shimin's family in. People sitting on the first floor saw Li Shimin and stood up to salute. Li Shimin said, "I am also a guest today. I am the same as you. There is no need to be polite. Just sit down."

Everyone gave up, but when they saw that Li Shimin's family had arrived, some people couldn't help but whisper.

Li Shimin didn't care, and as Li Mu climbed to the second floor. Li Mu explained the role of the second floor, Li Shimin nodded slightly. He was the emperor, so he naturally had to go to the next level. However, after going up the stairs, Li Shimin found that he went to the fourth floor and wondered: "Why did he go to the fourth floor and the third floor?"

"The third floor is the auction hall, and there is another entrance." Li Mu explained, and then said: "Your Majesty, this staircase is considered to be at the top of the fourth floor. If you want to go to the fifth floor, you have to go downstairs first and take another road."

"Please!" Li Shimin said, turning around and going downstairs. He was determined to go to the fifth floor to take a look. For nothing else, he had to know where Li Yuan would live in the future.

Going up the stairs to the east and down the stairs to the west, Li Mu took Li Shimin and his family around, came to the north, and entered a house. There was a wooden cage in the room. Li Mu opened the cage door and crawled in first, signaling Li Shimin to come in too.

Li Shimin frowned and said, "What is this? How can you set up a cage here?"
