Historically, Li Chengqian joined forces with Du Ruhui's son Du He and Hou Junji to conspire together.
Behind Du He is the son-in-law of Li Chengqian's own sister, Princess Chengyang, who naturally has one heart with Li Chengqian.
The rebellion plan was also planned by Du He, who asked Li Chengqian to pretend to be sick and asked Li Shimin to visit him.
Then Hou Junji dispatched troops to put Li Shimin under house arrest, imitating Li Shimin's way of respecting Li Yuan as the Supreme Emperor, and making Li Shimin also the Supreme Emperor.
But now Hou Junji is on his side, but Li Chengqian must also understand Hou Junji's character, he is eager to make contributions, and he is unwilling to be inferior to others.
Therefore, maybe Li Chengqian would promise some generous conditions to Hou Junji, and maybe Hou Junji would be tempted.
After all, the human heart is always unpredictable.
He didn't want Hou Junji to do such a stupid thing for a while, so he wrote a book to remind him a little bit.
Of course, in his letter, he would definitely not directly state that Li Chengqian had the idea of rebellion.
Instead, he hinted to him that he must not listen to other people's slander, and be honest and be a good minister of the Ministry of War.
After a while, I will take you to fight, make contributions, and give you several new weapons to play with.
Don't be foolish and do stupid things, don't make so much money and waste your life.
In short, just tell him that the future is bright, just be honest.
He believed that with the wisdom of Hou Junji, he could understand what he meant.
After all, Hou Junji is indeed a talent, and he doesn't want such a talent to do something stupid in a moment of confusion, and then be killed.
After writing the letter, he sealed it with fire clay, and handed it over to the intelligence personnel he trained, asking them to deliver the letter to Hou Junji himself as quickly as possible.
"Your Highness, someone from the workshop has sent news that the 'bicycle' you designed has been manufactured."
Lu Shiqing knocked on the door and entered his office, reporting a piece of news to him.
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Li Ke's eyes lit up immediately.
It seems that the craftsmen are good at technology, and their research and development capabilities have improved a lot.
Now according to his instructions, the speed and efficiency of developing things are getting higher and higher.
Li Ke immediately walked out of the office and walked towards the workshop.
Lu Shiqing also followed behind Li Ke and came to the workshop.
She has been with Li Ke recently, responsible for recording some important information and schedule.
But during this time, she discovered that Li Ke was omniscient and omnipotent!
There are obviously a few mediocre parts, but after Li Ke explained that after the craftsmen assembled it, it became a magical object.
All she met in her family were scholars who read the Four Books and Five Classics, and she had no such experience at all.
It can be said that during the period of working with Li Ke in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, she really gained a lot of insight!
At the same time, Li Ke became more and more admired and admired in his heart.
Not only her, but the sisters with five surnames and Qiwang who came with her were also conquered by Li Ke's charisma and extraordinary talent during this period of time.
As soon as Li Ke came to the workshop, he saw that familiar bicycle!
Although it is still very different from modern bicycles, the basic structure and design are still similar.
In other words, the materials used are different, but the shape is similar.
"See Your Highness!"
The craftsmen first greeted Li Ke respectfully.
Then he looked at Lu Shiqing, nodded, and said politely, "Secretary Lu."
During this period of time, Lu Shiqing often followed Li Ke to run here, and they were people around Li Ke. Everyone knew it well, so they were quite polite.
"Your Highness, according to your request, this 'bicycle' has been manufactured, but we really don't know how to run this bicycle."
The craftsmen looked at the Datang world's first bicycle in confusion and confusion.
Although the bicycle was manufactured by them, they really don't know how to use it.
At least there must be three wheels, one in front and two in the back, so as to maintain the stability of the body.
This bicycle has one wheel in the front and one wheel in the back.
If Li Ke hadn't designed a tripod to make the bicycle stop stably, otherwise the bicycle would not be able to stop.
Not to mention using this bicycle to pass, how can people keep their balance while sitting on it?
Seeing this scene, Lu Shiqing's eyes were also full of surprise and curiosity.
With two wheels, how can I not fall over?
"The sense of balance can be practiced. It is indeed difficult to maintain the bicycle when it is stationary, but it is easy to grasp as long as it is moving."
Li Ke smiled, and couldn't wait to come to the bicycle.
He used to ride a shared bicycle to work, but he never rode it again after traveling to Datang.
Seeing the unique bicycle in front of him now, he naturally had some expectations in his heart.
He lifted the kickstand and sat on the bike seat.
This seat is also specially wrapped with cotton on the wood, so it is relatively soft to sit on
Li Ke held the faucet with both hands, and then stepped on the pedal of the bicycle with a slight force on his right foot.
As his foot kicked, the wheel turned the chain made of hard rubber, which then turned the rear wheel and the bike moved forward.
"Be careful, Your Highness!"
Seeing this scene, Lu Shiqing's eyes suddenly showed a deep worry.
How do you ride this bike with only two wheels?
What if His Highness falls down?
The craftsmen didn't expect Li Ke to drive the bicycle when he came up. They were shocked and rushed forward to support Li Ke.
If Li Ke falls and hurts, they are the 'culprits' who made the bicycle, that would be a heinous crime.
"No problem."
Li Ke waved his hand to let them get out of the way, and then started to ride on his bicycle.
As the bicycle began to drive on the ground, Li Ke gradually found a familiar feeling, and then began to ride smoothly.
I saw Li Ke riding a bicycle with two wheels, but he was able to maintain his balance and move forward.
Lu Shiqing and the craftsmen were all stunned!
Their eyes widened, and they couldn't believe the scene they saw in front of them!
"This"
The craftsmen even wondered if they were hallucinating. How could these two-wheeled bicycles be so stable?
Is this His Highness King Wu using fairy art?
Lu Shiqing's exquisite face was completely sluggish at this moment, and her eyes were full of disbelief.
Obviously, Li Ke's actions at this time have exceeded her cognition.
Li Ke rode around for a while, and then stopped steadily at the previous starting point.
"good."
Li Ke nodded in satisfaction, although compared with modern bicycles, this bicycle is more difficult to ride.
But there is no way to do this, after all, some parts cannot be made with the current technology.
But overall, it can already be called a very good means of transportation.
As long as you learn a little bit, many people should like this bike.
"These places need to be slightly revised."
Li Ke then told the craftsmen about some of the minor problems he encountered while riding just now, and asked them to modify them later.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The craftsmen nodded immediately.
"Your Highness, the villain would like to know, how on earth is this bicycle able to maintain balance with only two wheels?"
A craftsman couldn't help his curiosity and asked Li Ke.
Other craftsmen, including Lu Shiqing, also looked curious.
"This is actually very simple. As long as the bicycle is running, the balance can be maintained by controlling the faucet."
"As for how to maintain balance, you need to practice more on your own."
"In other words, just fall one more time, and the more times you fall, it will happen naturally."
Li Ke smiled and briefly explained to everyone.
In fact, there are no other skills in learning bicycles, it is really as he said.
It will happen naturally if you fall too much.
Li Ke thought of how many times he fell when he was learning bicycles when he was a child.
"How many falls will it take?"
The craftsmen nodded thoughtfully.
But everyone felt that something was wrong. Li Ke was riding a bicycle for the first time. How could he be so proficient right away?
Soon everyone changed their minds, what kind of person is His Highness King Wu, and they only made the bicycles according to the method His Highness said.
Maybe His Royal Highness King Wu has already ridden before.
"After solving the few minor problems that the king just mentioned, mass production will begin!"
Li Ke directly instructed the craftsmen.
He can imagine that on the roads of Yangzhou and Suzhou, there will be a large number of people riding bicycles and falling with black noses and swollen faces.
Thinking of this scene, he couldn't help showing a smile on his face.
PS: Second more! .
Chapter 228 Business Tax Increases!A large number of merchants settled in Yangzhou and Suzhou!
Afterwards, Li Ke returned to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion on the first bicycle of the Tang Dynasty.
Zhao Nanyan, Wu Meiniang, Xie Wan'er and the others looked at the bicycle in surprise on a large piece of open space in the courtyard of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.
Just now, they saw with their own eyes that Li Ke was riding this strange vehicle with only two wheels without anyone's support, and he could still keep from falling.
This is really amazing, completely beyond their cognition.
"Husband, slow down, don't fall."
Zhao Nanyan looked at Li Ke worriedly, for fear that Li Ke would accidentally fall down.
After all, how do these two-wheeled bicycles look and feel crumbling.
"Nan Yan, don't be afraid, come and sit in the back."
Hearing this, Li Ke couldn't help but smiled, then parked his bicycle in front of Zhao Nanyan, and patted the seat behind him.
Yes, when he was designing, he also designed a seat for the back, which can carry one person.
This is more in line with the needs of the current era.
"Can this still carry people?"
Zhao Nanyan's eyes were full of surprise, but she believed in Li Ke very much. Since Li Ke asked her to sit up, she sat sideways on the back seat of the bicycle.
The back seat is also wrapped in cotton, which is very soft and comfortable to sit on.
"Hold me, hold on tight."
After Li Ke reminded Zhao Nanyan, he stepped on the pedal, and the bicycle started to drive.
