Chapter 509: Your Majesty, I also want to "progress"
Han Zhuo's self-promotion like a guarantee made Emperor Li Ying's thick eyebrows raise slightly.
He said in a slightly deep voice, "Xuanyuan is a small country. What fun and interesting things can a kid who hasn't even grown all his hair come up with?"
The emperor's words were actually telling Han Zhuo to take the things out so that he could take a look first.
So Han Zhuo immediately clapped his hands, and several people appeared behind him carrying three items.
There are three boxes, some big and some small.
The smallest box was only the size of two palms, while the largest was so huge that it required eight people to carry it in.
It's no problem even if there are a few people locked up in there.
Li Ying never expected that his son would do such a thing. He was indeed very curious about the things in the large and small boxes.
So, he asked, "What are the things in here?"
"Open it and take a look!"
Han Zhuo walked forward and first opened the smallest box.
After opening the box, Li Ying found that it contained some paper tags that looked a bit hard.
Seeing this, Li Ying suddenly lost interest.
In his opinion, there are so many things in this world that he has played with, so what’s so fun about playing cards?
Li Ying was about to speak when he kicked Han Zhuo out.
But Han Zhuo said, "Your Majesty, please don't rush to kick me out. Let me explain first."
"When I'm done, you can judge for yourself."
In fact, what Han Zhuo was holding in his hand was the playing cards of later generations.
Han Zhuo came up with this idea and asked someone to do it.
It’s not that Su Qingge brought it from Xuanyuan Country.
Moreover, compared with Xuanyuan Kingdom, Daqian Kingdom's papermaking technology is more advanced.
They are able to produce paper of various thicknesses for various purposes.
In front of Li Ying, Han Zhuo spread out all the playing cards and explained how to play to the emperor and the old eunuch next to him.
Then, Han Zhuo put the playing cards on the stone table next to him without caring about the old emperor's reaction.
He said to the chief eunuch, "Bring a young eunuch over here, and let's play a game of Landlord first."
"The method of playing Landlord is very simple. You will get the hang of it after playing it once or twice."
The chief eunuch looked at Emperor Li Ying with difficulty. When Li Ying saw these pieces of paper just now, he was indeed not interested.
But after hearing Han Zhuo's story, he suddenly became interested again.
So the chief eunuch was asked to bring the clever little eunuch to play with Han Zhuo for a while.
He himself was watching from the side.
Soon, Han Zhuo demonstrated the fun of playing Landlord with three people.
If this playing card was given to a tyrant or a wise ruler, they would definitely kick Han Zhuo out after seeing it.
Curse him for being a playboy and wasting his time.
But although Li Ying was not a tyrant, he was a lazy emperor.
His laziness is reflected in his love of play.
There is no need to even check this, the entire Daqian Kingdom knows it!
For an emperor who is so playful, when faced with playing cards, it is like a turtle versus a mung bean.
Suddenly, he felt a very novel and interesting taste.
After watching two rounds, he felt that the young eunuch next to the chief eunuch was too stupid, so he sent the young eunuch away and joined in himself.
After playing it a few times, the fun started.
But Han Zhuo knew when to stop. He said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, there are some tricks to this playing card. I will write them down on a piece of paper and let Your Majesty and your attendants play with them."
"And this second item has more ways to play, and it's more interesting!"
After feeling the charm of playing cards, Emperor Li Ying, who was always playful, immediately asked Han Zhuo to open the second box.
The second box contained mahjong tiles.
With the experience of the first playing cards, after seeing so many pieces of things, the emperor knew that this thing would definitely be more interesting!
Sure enough, Li Ying's eyes lit up as soon as Han Zhuo introduced him!
He then walked to the third box and said to Han Zhuo, "What's in this?"
Seeing that the emperor had taken the bait, Han Zhuo opened the box without any hesitation.
After the box was opened, Li Ying stared at everything in front of him in amazement!
But what he saw inside was an iron object, and he had never seen it before!
In fact, this is a tricycle that Han Zhuo had just put together.
All of its spare parts were brought by Han Zhuo from Xuanyuan Country on the day Su Qingge arrived.
Han Zhuo also specially sent a pigeon to ask the Ministry of Works to make it, which consumed a lot of energy and effort of the craftsmen.
But for Han Zhuo, the time and effort it took to create this thing was worth it.
Because, just look at the emperor’s expression at that moment and you will know!
First of all, Han Zhuo knew that Li Ying was in poor health. He had been bedridden for many years due to diseases in his legs.
Just because he couldn't walk with his two legs, as an emperor, he naturally didn't want others to see his defect.
Therefore, I will sit in this deep palace for longer and longer periods of time.
But the emperor is also a human being, and as a human being he wants to go out and have some fun.
His legs were not in good condition, so riding a horse was impossible for him.
If you use a sedan chair, it would be uncomfortable for the person sitting in the sedan chair, leaning against such a small window, and looking outside.
As for riding in a completely open sedan, it’s okay for a few times, but after a long time, the same problem arises: I don’t want others to see my flaws!
So, I got a three-wheeled bicycle (rickshaw style, with a roof).
It is definitely impossible for the emperor to ride a bicycle by himself.
But if a young and strong eunuch stepped on it in front while he sat in the back, the smell would naturally be extraordinary.
The most important thing is freshness!
In front of Li Ying, Han Zhuo rode the tricycle in front of them.
At this moment, the emperor didn't need to say anything. Han Zhuo saw the strong desire to try in his eyes and knew that his third gift was also the right one!
So Han Zhuo got off the bicycle, and the emperor hurriedly said to the old eunuch, "Quick, help me up!"
The old eunuch had been with the emperor for decades and naturally knew his character well.
So he and the eunuch beside him immediately helped the emperor climb onto the back seat of the tricycle.
After all, this was made for the emperor, so Han Zhuo also made some modifications to make it look more high-end and classy.
After Li Ying sat on it, the old eunuch called a strong eunuch to step slowly in front of him. He found that this new thing that looked like a chariot was actually very stable!
Just a slight shake.
However, this kind of shaking can be completely ignored for Li Ying, who has been bedridden for many years!
"Hahahaha!"
In the huge palace courtyard, the emperor's hearty laughter immediately broke out.
"Good, good, good, wonderful!"
Li Ying sat on the back seat of the tricycle and said to Han Zhuo with a cheerful look on her face, "My dear, you have put so much thought into this."
"But is there anything you would like to ask from Father?"
