Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

"By the way, there is one more thing." Li Ke suddenly remembered another thing.

"What?" Li Shimin frowned.

"You must not learn how to eat elixir like those emperors." Li Ke rolled his eyes, thinking of this made him feel sick, you said that anyone who can become an emperor is not stupid, and finally ran to eat that kind of thing.

"What's the matter? Many people eat it." Li Shimin was a little puzzled.

"You haven't eaten, have you?" Li Ke became nervous. When Li Shimin led soldiers in battle when he was young, his body can be said to be very strong, but he was definitely not a long-lived person. Of course, Li Shimin's death has something to do with his mental shock relation.

In addition to the early death of his beloved Empress Changsun, several princesses such as Changle and Jinyang died early. He has all experienced white-haired people sending black-haired people, and it is normal for his spirit to be hit.

But it definitely has a lot to do with him eating the so-called elixir.

"Uh, I tried it once, and it doesn't seem to work." Li Shimin didn't hide it.

"That thing is poisonous." Li Ke was very straightforward.

"Toxic?" Li Shimin's expression changed instantly, and Chang Lin's expression also changed.

"I also found out by accident, Dad, you know that mercury is added to their alchemy." Li Ke said directly, these emperors don't know what the material of the elixir is, Li Ke doesn't believe it, and they eat the elixir just to survive , whether it is Qin Shihuang or Li Shimin, how could the alchemists not ask what materials they put in?

"Yes, but only a little bit." Li Shimin frowned and nodded.

"You know that mercury is used in my mercury mirror, so I accidentally discovered that mercury is poisonous. Although it has little effect on the human body when it is in a small amount, it cannot be excreted by the human body. When it accumulates to a certain extent Sometimes, it will have a fatal impact on the human body." Li Ke said seriously.

"If you don't believe it, you probably find such a little mercury and give it to a condemned prisoner to eat." Li Ke picked up the cup from the table and poured a little water into it, about three or four milliliters of water. There are very few, at least from the perspective of human vision.

"That's it?" Li Shimin looked at the water inside and found that it was only a little bit.

"Yes." Li Ke nodded.

"Chang Lin remember." Li Shimin reminded, Chang Lin immediately walked over to look in the cup, then poured the water in his hand and looked at it before nodding.

"If you just ate one, it's fine. In fact, those alchemy Taoists don't know whether these things are poisonous, and if it's just a little bit, the human body has no effect, so they can't detect it. Wait until you feel it." It's too late when it's bad." Li Ke somewhat explained for those Taoist priests.

Li Shimin is not the kind of person who implicates others at will.

"I see." Li Shimin was noncommittal.

"Third brother, is Aye really okay?" Chang Le was a little worried.

"It's okay, don't worry, talking about toxicity regardless of the dose is a hooligan, just like arsenic is a highly poisonous substance, but it is also a reason why it can be used as medicine, like century-old ginseng, if you eat too much, it will also cause people to supplement Excessive and death. The same is true for mercury, as long as a little dose is no longer ingested, it doesn't matter." Li Ke comforted Changle and the others.

Hearing what Li Ke said, Changle and the others felt more at ease, and Li Shimin didn't take it too seriously.

After appeasing Lao Li, the next outing will be much more interesting. Li Ke even took Li Shimin to experience what a skewer is all about. Don't say that Li Shimin is not against it. He has never done this before. Although it is said that Li Shimin has led troops to fight, he is also from a family background, so it is naturally not his turn to do these things.

Chang Lin was also a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect Li Shimin to be willing to do these things, but looking around, he saw that Li Shimin was his son and daughter, and Chang Lin hadn't seen Li Shimin like this for a long time.

It wasn't until late in the evening that everyone packed up their things and went back. Li Shimin wanted to go back to the city directly, but Li Ke and the others naturally returned to Shuwangzhuang.

"By the way, you mentioned papermaking and printing before, have you improved?" Li Shimin looked at Li Ke and asked.

"Well, it's finished. I've started the construction of the paper mill, and I've started to purchase some materials from around Chang'an. The printing technique is actually very simple, so large-scale printing of books and the like can be implemented soon, about this year. It can start in the second half of the year." Li Ke thought for a while and said.

"Good job. These technologies are related to the national policy of the Tang Dynasty. What kind of reward do you want?" Li Shimin looked at him and asked.

"Can you give me some titles?" Li Ke asked.

"What do you mean?" Li Shimin was a little confused.

"A few honorary titles are fine. You don't need any real power. I want to reward those craftsmen who improve these technologies." Li Ke said.

Li Shimin frowned, this matter is not easy to handle.It's not that he cares about these titles, because once this opening is made, it means that the biggest cake of the noble class has been touched.

"This is a bit difficult. You should know the reason. I need to think about it." Li Shimin thought for a while.

Li Ke muttered: "I didn't say you, dad, what's the point of you being the emperor?"

Glancing at Li Ke, Li Shimin was rarely angry, but instead said, "Then what do you think the emperor should be?"

"Of course I do whatever I want. I can do whatever I want. Why do I think so much?" Li Ke said irresponsibly. He knew it was farting, but he said it on purpose.

"Come, come, give me an idea, how can I be like you." Li Shimin laughed angrily.

"How simple, you issue a decree, if you don't agree, you will be killed, if you can't do it alone, then the whole family, if the whole family can't do it, then the three clans." Li Ke said lightly.

"Get out! Is this your method? According to your method of killing, how many ministers are there in the court? In less than a month, the Tang Dynasty will collapse." Li Shimin cursed.

"Father, in fact, if you protect all the people in the world and this basic system, the Tang Dynasty will not collapse." Li Ke smiled.

Li Shimin paused for a moment, then waved his hands: "Go away, speak humanly."

"Then it's fine if you don't give me the title, but if I want to take over these properties one day, and you want to take them back to the court, then you have to give me the title." Li Ke said.

"What do I want your things for?" Li Shimin gave Li Ke a strange look.

"You don't want things, but if the court ministers ask you to ask for things from me, how can you still refuse?" Li Ke curled his lips, he had already seen through Li Shimin.

"Okay! I will remember what you said. If you are really capable of making the court ministers ask me to ask for your things, it will be fine if I give you a title! I will specially create a title, and you will reward these craftsmen! There is no limit to the number! "Li Shimin laughed angrily at Li Ke, I don't even want iron ore, salt and other important livelihood resources, how can I grab things from you?You underestimate me too much.

"One word from a gentleman is hard to follow." Li Ke stretched out his hand.

Li Shimin froze for a moment, he felt something was wrong, but he still reached out and gave Li Ke a high-five.

"Hey, by the way, who will send me those scholars, father? Is it still Dai Guogong?" Li Ke asked.

"Sometimes I want to kick you to death, and the court doesn't care about such a big matter? Last winter when the Tang Dynasty sent troops to Tuyuhun, Li Jing was the leading general. Because of the Chinese New Year and the bad weather, he didn't send troops for the time being, so he rushed back. After delivering the soldiers to you, he has already set off for Tuyuhun again, and this year he will definitely compete with Tuyuhun." Li Shimin said with a proud face.

Didn't you say before that I dare not do anything to Tuyuhun?See if I dare!

"Oh." Li Ke didn't respond.

Li Shimin: "..."

After talking about these things, the two sides basically separated. After walking a certain distance, Li Shimin, who was riding a horse, turned his head to look at Li Ke and others who had not started their return journey over there. He couldn't help asking: "Chang Lin , have I been manipulated?"
