Li Yu was becoming more and more mature. His words and actions were more reliable than before. He could even represent the royal family to entertain envoys from various countries. Therefore, his free time was getting less and less. However, driven by curiosity, he would still take some time to go to the R&D Center to see if Ang Lee had invented something fun again. If he needed it, he would ask for some. It was obviously right for him to come today.
"Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon, let's go up and sit. Let's feel what a car is and what it feels like to go for a ride."
Because he had absolute confidence in the product he had developed, Ang Lee did not hesitate to invite Li Yu to sit in the newly developed convertible car, which was the sports car of the future. It was just a little slower. After all, the sports car of the future was too fast. Even if he had the technology, Ang Lee did not want to develop a car at such a speed. After all, there were also many rich young masters who did not care about their lives in the Tang dynasty. If there was a racing competition, who knew how many innocent people would be killed?
In an era where human life was relatively cheap, rich young masters would not consider human life. If a person was killed, at most, they would pay a little money and it would be over. There was no need to pay a high price at all. Even in the later generations with a very high level of civilization, it was not a big deal for rich young masters to kill a person. They could still settle it with money.
"Assistant Minister Li, this car has just been completed. Do we need to test it first? If we sit in it rashly and there is a malfunction, wouldn't it be very dangerous?"
Li Yu was a little worried. After all, when he came a few months ago, he heard that when the R&D Center was developing the car, the car was completely out of control and crashed into the wall because the technology was not handled well. The driver was also injured.
"Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon, don't worry. The technology of this car is very mature. There is absolutely no danger. Moreover, I will protect you."
Ang Lee smiled gently and pulled Li Yu to the back seat.
Li Yu was still a little nervous. However, since Ang Lee was sitting in the seat, what was there for him to worry about? At worst, everyone would die together.
When Ang Lee and Li Yu were seated, Ang Lee ordered the driver to start the car.
"Buzz buzz buzz …"
It was still the familiar sound of the engine starting, but because of the noise reduction device on the outside of the engine, the sound was much softer and not harsh at all.
After the engine started, the car slowly moved forward and circled the experimental area of the R&D center a few times.
"Aiya, sitting in the car is really comfortable. Assistant Minister Li, you've invented another good thing! I won't need to ride a horse anymore. "
Li Yu laughed excitedly. When the car first started, he was still a little scared. However, after adapting for a while, he slowly discovered the advantages of the car and truly felt that sitting in the car was too comfortable. It was incomparable to riding a horse.
After all, the car seat's spring shock absorber, as well as the pneumatic tires and the car body's shock absorber, had reduced the bumps of the car to the minimum. Sitting in the car, he couldn't feel the bumps at all, and the bumps of riding a horse could be imagined.
"Don't always run in the courtyard. Drive directly to the capital and go around the capital."
Li An felt that there was not much point in just going around in circles in the R&D Center. It would be more interesting to go to Beijing and play around. Moreover, this way, the people in Beijing could see what a car was and thus promote it.
"Going to the capital for a round, good! However, isn't this too ostentatious? "
Li Yu was very willing to go for a ride in the capital, but at the same time, he was worried that his behavior was too ostentatious. If some one-track minded censor saw him and impeached him, it would be very bad. He was now an adult and had taken on some tasks in the imperial court. He really had to pay attention to his image at all times.
"Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon, you worry too much. With me around, you don't have to worry about being ostentatious. Moreover, not only are we going for a ride in the capital, but we're also going to drive the car directly into the palace and let His Majesty see what a car looks like."
Ang Lee said.
"We're going to drive directly into the palace. It's too ostentatious for us to enter the palace like this. Only His Majesty can do this."
Li Yu still felt that it was inappropriate. He felt that sitting in the car was too cool, and the palace was a serious place. In the palace, only the emperor could walk freely, and others could only be submissive. Driving into the palace openly was indeed arrogant.
"We'll enter the palace through the side door. His Majesty won't blame us. I'll take care of everything. What are you afraid of?"
Ang Lee was no longer afraid of Li Longji. After all, Ang Lee's contributions to the Tang Empire were too great. The emperor couldn't live without him. Naturally, he wouldn't blame Ang Lee for some trivial matters. Moreover, the emperor had already said that as long as Ang Lee invented something good and wanted to present it to the emperor, he could directly bring it into the palace without any notice. Things as big as the car couldn't be carried into the palace, right? It was more reliable to drive it directly into the palace.
Although Li Yu was still a little hesitant, Ang Lee had already made up his mind. He could only obey Ang Lee's decision. After all, he was already sitting in the car. He couldn't just jump out of the car directly, right?
Moreover, after this experience, Li Yu really didn't want to get out of the car. The feeling of sitting in the car for a spin was too cool. It was too cool.
The handsome and luxurious car went straight to the capital at a faster speed, attracting too many sidelong glances along the way. Although there was no shortage of motor vehicles in the Tang Empire now, it was the first time such a flashy sports car had appeared. This kind of car with lower noise and a more eye-catching appearance was very easy to attract attention.
Even in the future, sports cars appearing in underdeveloped areas would also attract great attention, let alone in the era of the Tang Empire.
People could see who was sitting in the car at a glance. Therefore, the soldiers guarding the city gate didn't dare to stop them. They directly made a path for the sports car to enter the capital smoothly.
After entering the capital, more people were looking at the sports car. After all, there were more people in the capital and more curious people. Most of them were full of indescribable curiosity about the sports car.
Seeing so many people looking at him, Li Yu immediately straightened his back to maintain his good image. After all, he was the grandson of the emperor of the Tang Empire. His image couldn't be destroyed. Moreover, even ordinary people would try their best to maintain their image.
"Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon, how do you feel? Does it feel good?"
Ang Lee smiled and looked at Li Yu next to him.
"It feels good, very good. This feeling is really wonderful."
Li Yu said with an intoxicated look.
"I'm asking you if it feels good? Does it feel good? "
Ang Lee asked again with a smile.
"It feels good, very good. It feels so good."
After hanging out with Ang Lee for so long, Li Yu had learned a lot of words of the later generations. For example, he learned the word "good" very well.
"Since Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon feels good, let's drive a few more laps in the capital and feel this good feeling more."
Ang Lee smiled and ordered them to drive a few more laps.
The super fashionable sports car drove Ang Lee and Li Yu back and forth on the streets of Chang 'an. It could be said that it attracted a lot of attention and made Ang Lee and Li Yu feel very good. They drove from one peak to another.
"Good, very good. Look at the Persian girl just now. She didn't even blink."
Li Yu was so excited that he couldn't control himself. The Persian girl just now was indeed very beautiful, and any young man who saw a beautiful girl would be tempted. Naturally, he would feel extremely refreshed in his heart.
"Haha! Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon is handsome and handsome. The Persian girl was attracted by the charm of Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon. That's why she didn't blink. "
Ang Lee praised.
"You're flattering me. Just now, the Persian girl was clearly looking at Assistant Minister Li. It was Assistant Minister Li's handsomeness that made the Persian girl fall in love at first sight."
Of course, the Persian girl was definitely not attracted to Ang Lee and Li Yu because of their good looks. She was attracted to the rare sports car. Ang Lee and Li Yu were well aware of this. But they complimented each other in such a way that made them feel comfortable, so neither of them would expose the other. What was wrong with everyone having fun together?
Just like in the future, many friends would gather together for a meal and flatter each other, especially women. This was the happiest thing, and no one would expose the other. There were many groups of people who had never touched a woman before, but at the wine table, they would make people feel that all the beauties in the world were in their arms. Their charm would make all the young ladies in the world look askance at them.
"We've already walked a few laps. Let's go to the palace!"
Ang Lee said.
"Okay, let's go to the palace."
The sports car went straight to the palace at a fast speed. It was very eye-catching all the way. When it arrived at the entrance of the palace, the guards only glanced at it before politely letting Li An sit in the sports car and enter the palace. Of course, they entered the palace at a slower speed.
After entering the palace, there was a bridge. In the past, the ministers needed to get off their horses here and then walk across the bridge to see the emperor. But this would definitely delay the time. Therefore, in order to let Ang Lee arrive at the main hall earlier, Li Longji allowed Ang Lee to ride a horse across the bridge. Therefore, when Ang Lee arrived at the bridge with Li Yu in a sports car, the guards did not stop them. They only reminded Ang Lee to slow down. After all, this was the palace, and they could not speed!
Since a lot of government affairs were handed over to Li Longji, Gao Lishi, and the others to handle, coupled with the fact that Li Longji was getting older and older, the time he spent working in Zi Chen Hall was getting less and less. Most of the time, he stayed in his own bedroom or went to the back garden to play with his imperial concubines. This kind of life could be said to be very happy, and it was also time for him to retire.
"Your Majesty, Assistant Minister Li is here. He came with Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon. He even drove a sports car. It's really fun."
It was also the first time Gao Lishi had seen a sports car. He knew that the emperor would definitely like such things, so he immediately ran to the back hall to report.
"Saburo, Assistant Minister Li has invented something good again. By the way, what is a sports car?"
Yang Yuhuan snuggled up to Li Longji and asked curiously.
Li Longji also looked at Gao Lishi, wanting to get an accurate answer.
"Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine, this old servant can't explain it clearly. It's a very beautiful sports car. It's not loud at all. Your Majesty and Imperial Concubine will definitely like it."
Gao Lishi didn't know how to describe it, so he directly said that it was good.
"Since it's a car, let Assistant Minister Li drive it directly to the back hall! I'm a little tired and really don't want to run forward. "
Li Longji was the emperor, so of course, Ang Lee had to run over to see him, not him running to see Ang Lee. Moreover, he was really tired and didn't want to move.
Soon, Ang Lee personally drove the car to the back hall. After all, he was the one who invented the sports car, so he naturally knew how to drive it. The original driver had already gone back, so Li Yu also found an excuse to slip away. Perhaps, he didn't want to sit in the sports car to see the emperor!
After Ang Lee parked the sports car, Li Longji just happened to walk out of the back hall with Yang Yuhuan in his arms. They saw the super cool sports car invented by Ang Lee.
"Wow, this is a sports car. It's very beautiful!"
Yang Yuhuan's eyes lit up and excitedly commented. Li Longji was also very interested.
"Your Majesty, this is a sports car invented by your humble servant. It's also a kind of car, but the top and jade windows have been removed. But on a sunny day, it's the most comfortable to sit in and enjoy the scenery."
Ang Lee opened his mouth and introduced.
"Assistant Minister Li, how do we use this sports car? Can we sit in it and try it now? "
Li Longji asked with concern.
Ang Lee smiled and said, "Your Majesty and Imperial Concubine, please get in. Your humble servant will drive the sports car and take Your Majesty and Imperial Concubine for a walk in the back garden."
"Okay, let's do that."
Li Longji was very excited. He held Yang Yuhuan's hand and walked towards the sports car.
Ang Lee quickly opened the back door and helped Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan into the car. Then, he closed the door.
"Assistant Minister Li, you must drive slowly. Safety first."
Gao Lishi, who was beside him, urged.
Ang Lee nodded and said, "The speed can be adjusted. It can be as slow as you want. I'll drive personally. Your Majesty won't be in danger."
With that, Ang Lee started the engine and drove the sports car slowly towards the back garden.
Because the sports car's design was more advanced, with better shock absorption and noise reduction, and the seats were made of the latest foam rubber, Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan felt very comfortable sitting in it. It was a comfortable feeling that they had never experienced before. At least, it was much more comfortable than sitting in a carriage.
The eunuchs, palace maids, and guards followed closely behind. Because Ang Lee drove very slowly, they only needed to walk quickly to keep up.
"Your Majesty, there are so many roads in the back garden. Your humble servant doesn't know the way! Your Majesty, please take the lead. "
Ang Lee drove to the back garden and saw that it was full of roads. He didn't know which day to walk.
"Saburo, the peonies that we planted a few days ago should have bloomed. Let's go and take a look!"
Yang Yuhuan said.
"Okay, then let My Imperial Concubine take the lead. Assistant Minister Li, get ready to listen."
Li Longji said generously.
"Assistant Minister Li, take the left. Yes, this is the road."
"Assistant Minister Li, take the right. Turn to the right."
"In front, go straight ahead."
