Chapter 734
"I see Your Majesty." Lin Xuan bowed.
Li Shimin ignored Lin Xuan, but looked at the corn in the basket on the ground.
Li Muxin understood, and quickly stepped forward to bring the corn to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin took out a corn that hadn't been stripped of its coat from the basket, and it felt heavy in his hands.
Baiqi had already reported to Li Shimin about how many corn cobs a corn produced.
If most corn cobs have this weight, then the yield per acre of land is much higher than what Lin Xuan said.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Li Shimin's face, and he murmured: "It's really a god."
The anger towards Lin Xuan breaking the corn also subsided a lot.
But Li Shimin didn't show it. Based on what he knew about Lin Xuan, if he was simply let go, Lin Xuan would still pay attention to the corn soon.
"You bastard, what are you doing breaking off this corn before it's ripe? I'm still waiting to save up grain seeds and promote it to the world." Li Shimin scolded, spitting.
Lin Xuan blinked innocently, and said, "Your Majesty, please break it down and eat."
"Eat?" Li Shimin became even angrier when he heard it: "I am even reluctant to eat it, but you actually break it off and eat it? You just want to eat, and you actually disregard the people in the world?"
Lin Xuan was dumbfounded, what the hell, I only ate a few corns, how could I become a heinous person in Li Shimin's mouth.
Seeing Li Shimin's expression as if he wanted to beat someone up, Lin Xuan felt that he could still save him.
"Your Majesty, I haven't eaten this product since I got it. I don't know if it tastes good or not, and if it's suitable for promotion. If the court spends energy to promote it, but the corn is not edible, won't it affect your majesty's reputation? " Lin Xuan said awe-inspiringly.
Li Shimin was taken aback, what Lin Xuan said seemed to be reasonable, and the impact on his reputation was secondary. If he let the people grow corn, but they couldn't eat it in the end, those people would have no harvest. There is going to be trouble.
But he always felt that something was wrong.
wrong.
Li Shimin quickly realized that at the beginning, Lin Xuan had firmly told him that the yield of corn was high and it could be used as a staple food.
If Lin Xuan hadn't eaten it, how could he be so sure?
Almost cheated by this kid.
Li Shimin said seemingly unintentionally: "Is the corn delicious?"
"Of course it's delicious, Your Majesty. The corn at this time is the most delicious when eaten. After a while, the corn will be old and not suitable for cooking." Lin Xuan laughed.
Sure enough.
He even knows when and how to eat corn, and he even said to try to see if corn can be eaten.
Li Shimin looked at Lin Xuan with unfriendly eyes.
Seeing Li Shimin's color, Lin Xuan thought to himself, "Not good."
"Do you know that you have committed the crime of deceiving the king?"
"Your Majesty, how dare I deceive Your Majesty? It's all said by the Hu merchant who sold corn to me." Lin Xuan said hastily.
"Oh." Li Shimin said noncommittally: "Then you find that Hu merchant, and if it is true as you said, I will forgive you for not guilty."
Lin Xuan: ...
He made up Hu Shangben, where can he find it.
"Your Majesty, that Hu merchant has gone back a long time ago. I don't know if it's time to come again, or maybe he won't come again." Lin Xuan said with a mournful face.
"Come on, come on, the Hou of Jingyang County, the bully king, and drag him down for thirty."
Li Shimin didn't listen to Lin Xuan's explanation, this time he must clean up Lin Xuan, otherwise he will become more and more courageous.
The imperial guards guarding the door came in after hearing the sound, saluted, and were about to drag Lin Xuan.
"Your Majesty, listen to the minister." Lin Xuan said hastily.
"Humph!"
Li Shimin snorted coldly and turned around without looking at Lin Xuan.
The two guards carried Lin Xuan from left to right and went outside the hall.
Li Mu looked at Li Shimin, and found that Li Shimin didn't have any instructions, so he bowed and retreated.
Outside the main hall, Lin Xuan was already lying on a wide stool, waiting for execution.
However, the executioners were not in a hurry to act.
Seeing Li Mu coming out, the executioners looked at Li Mu's feet.
Seeing that Li Mu's feet did not use the usual code words, the imperial guards understood and shouted: "Execution!"
There is a lot of room for manipulative punishment like stick punishment. If you hit with all your strength, you can usually kill a civil servant with ten blows, and even an ordinary military commander can only kill a few dozen blows.
Even a fierce general like Cheng Yaojin, even if he doesn't die after seventy or eighty blows, he will be maimed.
So how to beat during execution depends on Li Shimin's attitude.
Just like Cheng Yaojin was often scolded, but although Cheng Yaojin yelled fiercely, whether he should go to court or go to court the next day, nothing happened.
This was hinted by Li Shimin secretly.
Naturally, it was impossible for Li Shimin to say it, and it was Li Mu who usually informed him.
Li Mu couldn't say it clearly, so he used his feet to signal.
Put your feet together, which means that you can just put on a show.
If the feet are in a figure-eight shape, you are going to beat yourself to death.
Now Li Mu doesn't have any instructions, that is to say, the normal execution does not require mercy or special care.
Two imperial guards stood beside Lin Xuan with sticks thick in their hands. Hearing this, the sticks in their hands greeted Lin Xuan's buttocks.
"what!"
Lin Xuan let out a scream.
"My son-in-law, we haven't fought yet." The executioner said speechlessly.
The sticks in their hands had just been swung, and they hadn't fallen yet. They were almost frightened by Lin Xuan's cry and didn't hold them.
"Didn't you fight?"
Lin Xuan felt that there was nothing abnormal about his butt.
"I heard from others that shouting can relieve pain, so when you miss it, you shout it, so that it won't hurt so much when you get hit." Lin Xuan said with some embarrassment.
Forbidden Army: ...
Li Mu: ...
Although being teased by Lin Xuan made him delay for a while, he still had to fight.
The imperial guards who executed this time were prepared, and regardless of Lin Xuan's shout, the sticks in their hands fell firmly on Lin Xuan's body.
"Ah...ah~"
Outside the main hall, Lin Xuan's shouts sounded one after another.
In fact, stick blame is not as painful as imagined.
Not to mention that Lin Xuan inherited Zhao Yun's martial arts and his body has been transformed.
As far as his identity is concerned, when the imperial army executed the sentence, they took a little effort.
Although Li Mu didn't hint to be merciful and let them fight normally, but Lin Xuan is the son-in-law, if it really breaks, will they have good fruit to eat?
Therefore, when the execution is executed, part of the strength will be put away unconsciously.
Lin Xuan yelled so badly, but it was actually for Li Shimin.
He didn't want Li Shimin to soften his heart and let him go.
What he was thinking was that he had suffered the beating anyway, and he would stay in Chang'an under the pretext of recovering from his injuries. As for the matter on the grassland, whoever wanted to go could go.
Li Shimin was a little puzzled when he heard Lin Xuan screaming so miserable in the hall.
Although he didn't make people show mercy, he didn't make people beat him to death either. Normal execution wouldn't be so miserable.
Could it be that Li Mu was wrong?
But soon Li Shimin realized that Lin Xuan's cry was just fake.
Generally speaking, the person who is responsible for the stick will scream more at the beginning, but it will become weaker and weaker.
As for Lin Xuan, the louder he shouted, the more angry he was, just like when Cheng Yaojin was scolded by the stick.
Li Shimin didn't know that Lin Xuan was pretending, so he was so angry that he wanted to add something to Lin Xuan.
Can't you call it, I will let you call it enough.
However, before Li Shimin could open his mouth, the stick duty was over, and Lin Xuan was carried into the hall.
