Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 667
[Chapter 293 It’s Not Only A Game]
The old little eunuch was scared, and the people below were also nervous.
Worrying about the hot air balloon falling off, it’s not that the two villains are nervous, but the hot air balloon failed.
That’s what Li Longji thought. He didn’t care about the life and death of the two eunuchs, but he was afraid that hope would turn into disappointment again, so he didn’t know when the next test would be. dangerous.
The two little eunuchs got louder and louder, and one of them said to the other: “If I fall, then you will be on top of me, maybe with me on the back, you can still survive.”
“Don’t talk about it, I didn’t think about falling, and I wouldn’t be able to live even if I fell. Turn down the fire and don’t throw sandbags. Mr. Gao said that the sandbags are not used to adjust the height. As long as the fire is big, the hot air balloon can continue. Li, at the beginning, the bottom is fixed by people, and the sandbags are specially used to escape.
If it suddenly falls down, then throw all the sandbags down, maybe the speed of falling can be slower, and let us not Jumping out of the basket, there is a cushion specially made by the Zhang Wang family under the basket, which can reduce the strength of the fall, how high can it be now?” Another little eunuch didn’t let the previous eunuch say, he didn’t want to. I was talking nonsense when there was nothing wrong with it, but it turned out that something was wrong.
The people below have begun to protect Li Longji, so as not to fall on the emperor, the rope is not too thick, but very strong, there is still a long way to go, and the hot air balloon is flying higher and higher. Five feet, and still continue to fly upward.
“Lux, it seems that the hot air balloon can really take people up. Even if something happens this time, it doesn’t mean that the hot air balloon is wrong.”
Li Longji said to Gao Lishi, Yu Guang was afraid that in case of failure, others would not let him in the future. He goes up.
Gao Lishi understands, and is willing to listen to Li Longji’s words, because Xiaobao and Juanjuan are not responsible for bullying. After all, they really brought people to fly, and the reason for the failure can be attributed to the poor operation of the people. aspect.
So he replied: “Your Majesty, then you can’t go up right away. If you succeed, you have to wait for a few more tests. There is also a manual that says that if you want to go up, you must be accompanied by someone. There is also Zhang who came with the hot air balloon. The two members of the No. 0 team of Jiahu Miao, they can try their best to ensure your safety, Your Majesty.
”
Li Longji nodded. Let someone take a clairvoyant and look from the bottom up. He really wanted to fly up to see it himself, but he knew it was impossible.
When he spoke, the hot air balloon had already risen to a height of more than 30 feet. You can’t measure the height directly, but there is the length of the rope. Every time a distance, a number is written on the rope. Let people know how long it has been released.
The two little eunuchs are not as afraid as Yuecai now. You have
to die,
anyway, so let’s accept our fate. After reaching this distance, the two of them adjusted the fire a little bit and looked down with their clairvoyance, which happened to meet Li Longji.
Li Longji saw the person above. Looking down. He also waved his hand happily to show encouragement, which made the two little eunuchs excited. They found the dragon flag from the basket, hung it up, and waved down the same.
“Your Majesty, it seems that it is done, as long as they Come down safely and fly a few more times. Your Majesty may also go up and take a look, but you have to bring the two people sent by the Zhang family to wait outside the palace.
“The
officer Gao said happily.
“Yes, there are two little people waiting outside, let them come in and take a look.”
“As soon as Gao Lishi said, Li Longji thought that there were still people outside. They were the most powerful guards of the Zhang family. They came here on behalf of the Zhang family. They should not be too negligent and have people shout.
In fact, there is no need to come in at all .
The two of them have seen it long ago. The hot air balloon is not flying so high again. Not only the two of them saw it, but other people who occasionally looked at the sky also saw it. A big guy was floating on the top of the Xingjing Palace. I don’t know what it is? It’s like Kongming Lantern, but I think it’s very different.
The people in the palace knew it first, and as soon as someone said it, others immediately raised their heads to look at the sky to see what was going on. The top of the Qing Palace flew, and the people outside the palace stopped one after another, trying to figure out the reason.
Soon, someone reported the matter to the ministers, and the ministers also stood outside and looked up in the direction of Xingqing Palace. As a result, there were more and more people, and people around the palace were not moving, and the traffic was also When it was blocked, some people were too far away and could not see clearly, so they squeezed forward hard, and after a while, they realized that even if they squeezed a few dozen steps forward, the things in the sky still seemed to be that big.
Zhang said that he was in the middle of the book at the moment, and when he heard someone came to report, he took out the clairvoyant and stood outside to look. Now he could see clearly, it turned out to be a big guy hanging a basket below, with a dragon on top of the basket. The flag was flying, and two little eunuchs stuck their heads out and waved back and forth.
As soon as he saw this scene, Zhang said that he didn’t care about his business, and hurriedly trotted towards Xingqing Palace. He now understands that the emperor who has to ride a bicycle is too far to walk. If he has a car now It’s a lot easier on a bike.
When Zhang Sai came to Xingqing Palace and saw the emperor standing there protected by someone, he was relieved. He was really worried that the emperor was sitting in the basket just now.
“Zhang Qing is here? Come here, let’s have a look together.” Seeing Zhang talking, Li Longji beckoned to him.
Zhang said that he didn’t look as happy as others, so he nervously approached Li Longji and persuaded: “Your Majesty, you can’t look for this thing, who sent it? There are still people on it, in case it falls. Come down, whether it is the people above or the people below are in danger? I will impeach the person who sent this toy.”
Zhang Said made a gesture of protecting Li Longji, his face was sullen, and it seemed that he was going to find trouble. .
As soon as Gao Lishi listened to it, he gave up, how could his son and daughter-in-law finally make things so unbearable?
Impeachment?
Well, now it is possible to impeach, and both children have official bodies.
But that is absolutely impossible, so he retorted: “Master Zhang’s words are bad, how can it be a plaything? This is a matter of life and death, and it is in the march. You can clearly see the following things from above, if you can fly to The enemy general threw the grenade that Cuckoo used in the battle, Master Zhang knows what the consequences were?”
Zhang Shuo was taken aback by Gao Lishi’s question and thought about it carefully.
It’s true, if this thing flies over the enemy’s head, let alone throw a grenade down, even throwing a stone can kill someone. If one flies over the palace, with a large bag of explosives, take advantage of the emperor’s exit from the palace. For a
moment,
what Gao Lishi said was written in Zhang Xiaobao’s letter. When anything is revealed, it is usually used in military affairs, and the same is true for hot air balloons.
Li Longji really didn’t expect that, all he wanted was to run to a higher place to take a good look at the capital. At this time, when he heard Gao Lishi’s words, he took a deep breath and said,
“No wonder Xiaobao and Juanjuan want to let go People make hot air balloons. It turns out that they are useful in wars. If this is to add dozens of hot air balloons to the cuckoo’s army, with grenades on them, and a light ride below, who can beat her? It used to be very powerful. Now, can Zhang Qing understand?”
Zhang said, nodding his head, making it clear.
At the same time, he also suppressed the idea of impeachment. He was too anxious just now, and he didn’t ask who brought the things over. Now he realizes that he was really ill-conceived just now. Except for the Zhang Wang family, no one has such ability. Make something that takes people to the sky.
Xiaobao and Juanjuan can’t be impeached, not to mention now it’s clear that it’s not for fun, it’s for marching and fighting, that’s a big thing, and it shouldn’t be taken lightly.
But he saw the rope below again, and it was wrong, and asked again: “Your Majesty, can it really be used for war? But the bottom still needs to be tied with a rope. Once there is no rope, who will know this is called a hot air balloon? Where will the thing fly? How can it get above the enemy?”
Li Longji could answer him at this point, took out the manual, handed it to Zhang Shuo’s hand, and said to him, “This thing has not been completed yet. , there is another power system that has not been installed, and after installation, you can move at will when the wind is not too strong in the sky.”
“Yes, I understand.” Zhang couldn’t say anything else, since it was the research of Zhang and Wang ‘s family.
The things that come out should be able to think of this, and the two of them are researching things in stages, with a little improvement, this is the umbrella to make the emperor happy first.
“Your Majesty, this item is too lethal. Is it true that
the Zhang and Wang families will not be allowed to make it? Let the Ministry of War take care of it. There should be someone at the Weapons Superintendent who can cooperate.”
One day they can’t control Zhang Wang’s family, and they will be in trouble when they come to blow up the palace with dynamite in a hot air balloon.
Gao Lishi was dissatisfied, and said on the side: “Master Zhang, if the Zhang and Wang family are not allowed to make hot air balloons, will they not have to take out better things in the future? What if they don’t do it? Can they improve and make things better? Count on the Ministry of War? Count on the Ordnance Supervisor? They really have that ability, and today it’s not the Zhang and Wang families who send hot air balloons.”
Zhang said he knew why Gao Lishi refuted himself, and the matter of his son’s family. , of course he was dissatisfied with himself, but he still insisted on asking: “Then if the two of them want to be unfavorable to Your Majesty,”
“Zhang Qing can’t say that, if Xiaobao and Juanjuan want to be unfavorable, they will not put it down. The hot air balloon was taken out to let Lian know that if they couldn’t even believe this, wouldn’t it be cold that Xiaobao and Juanjuan were desperately trying to kill the enemy in Tubo? To be honest, Lian always felt that if they wanted to fight against the alliance, there would be There are many ways.” Li Longji said to Zhang, and he really thought so in his heart, because he could never guess what Zhang Wang’s family would do, especially the poisonous needle on the belt, it was too hidden , If no one can believe it, when a minister goes to court, he can clean himself up.
What the Zhang Wang family did was on the bright side, and they didn’t hide it at all. Besides, Wang Qiao’er’s father was protecting him at the beginning, so it was impossible to do anything to him, and there were people watching over there. There are too many precautions in this matter, who can believe it?
The leader of Jinwuwei?
Ge Fushun of Wanqi?
And the Colliers by your side?
Can’t believe it, can’t you just let yourself do everything by yourself?
Thinking of this, Li Longji said to Zhang again: “When Zhang Qing just came in, no one turned around. If Zhang Qing brings something on his body, should I worry about it?
” Your Majesty, you will never do such things, if the emperor cannot trust the minister, the minister will die in front of the emperor.”
Zhang said that he was terrified, and he couldn’t talk about it casually, and sweat broke out immediately.
After saying this, he stopped talking and stood by the side honestly, looking at the hot air balloon that was still flying in the sky. He knew that if he said more, it would mean that the Zhang and Wang family were untrustworthy. If you are loyal to the emperor, is it possible that everyone else is disloyal?
Gao Lishi didn’t speak at the side, but he was very dissatisfied with Zhang, saying that the relationship was not bad.
He even slandered his son and daughter-in-law.
Everyone was quiet now. After that, the rope that was pulling the hot air balloon made a slight noise from the wind. The two eunuchs above had risen to a height of fifty feet. clear.
The two discussed it, took out the larger dragon flag from the basket, unfolded it and hung it by the side of the basket. As soon as the flag was blown by the wind, it opened with a bang and moved against the wind.
As soon as the flag came out, there was a cheer in the palace, and those outside the palace who could clearly see the pattern on the flag were also excited. What other country can do that?
People who came from other countries saw such a big flag flying in the sky, and they couldn’t tell what it was like in their hearts, especially the meticulous works of Tubo in the Tang Dynasty. After seeing this flag and the things that could fly to the sky, they felt that their own country It is impossible to catch up with the Tang Dynasty for a while.
They are not all fools. When they saw the flag that was suddenly hung up, they knew that there was someone on it, but they couldn’t see the rope that was pulling it. They thought that the thing was floating in the sky by itself, and there were people on it.
According to the news from Tubo, the magic cuckoo has a weapon, which is much more powerful than fireworks, and can kill people. If they can throw that weapon on it, how can they fight?
Li Longji heard the cheers, even from a long distance. He raised his head and looked at the hot air balloon flying in the sky.
Zhang Shuo and Gao Lishi both know the meaning of this sentence. It doesn’t mean that there is no worry about having a hot air balloon fight, but that there is the existence of the Zhang and Wang families, and things are made by others. , The Zhang and Wang families kept making things and taking them out. Some were useful in water, some used in weapons, and now some are flying in the sky.
In addition, Xiaobao and Juanjuan, who have learned many skills of the masters, can still live for a long time, and they are Yunwen Yunwu. As long as they are there, I will not
“Congratulations to Your Majesty Gao Lishi, and I also think of the country in my heart, and He
is also loyal to Li Longji, and after hearing Li Longji’s words, he whispered his joy.
Zhang Shuo also followed suit, although he was very uncomfortable, he finally got to the position of prime minister, suppressed all those who should be suppressed, and gained power. He got it in his hands, but the appearance of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan made him realize that he couldn’t use all his power at all.
At least not for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. The orders he issued had to be obeyed by others, but the two of them dared not to obey. , and there is no way to take the two of them. If Wang Jue goes out, it can be said that once Wang Jue goes out, there will be no way to take the two of them.
I can’t say that I have experience in the frontier army than Wang Jue. It’s amazing, people have used corpses and blood to prove it.
Zhang Xiaobao doesn’t have to listen to administrative orders, because people are very proficient in economics and can find 10,000 reasons to refute him, and his power is obviously limited.
Li Longji didn’t know what Zhang said was thinking. What he thinks most now is why didn’t Xiaobao and Juanjuan stay in the capital to work? That way, they can see them anytime now, watching the heat sent by the two people’s homes. Balloon, eat the food made by two people and listen to what they have to say, it must feel very good.
With regret in his heart, Li Longji no longer wants to continue watching the hot air balloon fly like that, and said to the person next to him: ” Let them come down, don’t try hard with the rope, see if the hot air balloon can come down slowly on its own
The people below immediately began to convey orders to the two eunuchs above, waving a large flag back and forth for the two above to see.
At this time, the two little eunuchs really didn’t want to go down immediately. Now that there is no danger, they enjoy the feeling of flying in the sky very much. They can see the scenery of the capital with clairvoyance and feel the coolness of the downwind. It’s really comfortable. .
Seeing that the flag was being raised below, I had to keep this thought in my heart, looked at each other and sighed at the same time, wondering if there would be a chance to come up in the future, maybe this is the chance in a lifetime.
Putting the fire down a little bit and feeling the slowly decreasing speed, the two of them looked at the surrounding scenery as much as possible, so that they could wait to return to the ground and talk to others.
When we got down, the overall time was much less than when we got up. About a quarter of an hour, the hot air balloon slowly landed on the top, and the cloth above directly covered the two little eunuchs in it.
“How about it?” Li Longji asked eagerly to get the two little eunuchs out.
“Go back to your majesty, the wind is a bit strong above, but I am happy, especially when the flag is flying, we all feel that this is the most important thing. It’s time to be happy, and also, it was a little swaying on the top, and everything else was gone. At the beginning, the two of us were scared to death. When we really stayed in the sky for a long time, that’s how it is now. It’s okay,
the little eunuch quickly replied, Excited little face flushed, waiting to leave, you can tell others.
At this time, two people from the No. 0 seedling protection team also walked in from the outside. The two were dressed in tight clothes and were carrying three large bags. When they were about to come in, the people outside had to see what was in the bags. Personally, I will not let others open it anyway. If it is opened, it will be difficult to restore it to its original state. The bag contains a parachute, which is sealed by the little master and the little lady.
After some questioning, the two of them reassured.
And when Gao Lishi quietly arranged for someone to speak, the two came in.
“Are you two from the No. 0 seedling protection team?” Li Longji asked knowingly, and looked at the bags they were carrying.
“If you go back to Your Majesty, it’s the number 0 member of the Zhang family’s seedling protection team. These three bags contain parachutes that the young master and the little lady have personally supervised and packaged. Basically, there is no big problem. If your majesty wants to God, the two of us can follow His Majesty, but His Majesty must carry this parachute on his back first.
This time, Hu Zi brought another person, and Hu Zi should be responsible. Hearing Li Longji’s question, he respectfully Answer.
“Oh, why didn’t you just use it for others?
When Li Longji heard that it was something Xiaobao and Juanjuan made specially for him, he knew that it was for himself, but he was a little dissatisfied.
“Your Majesty, it needs practice to use this thing, otherwise it may not be necessary for others to use it at critical moments .”
It can be used. The two of us haven’t come in yet, otherwise one person will take the other person up. The two of us have tried it in places with water, and it is very easy to use. We have also been on hot air balloons many times.
Huzi continued to answer ,
he was stopped just now, there is no way to do it, in fact, when he came, he had already received a letter from the little boy and brought five parachutes, but they could not be used. This time it should only be used by the emperor, so I brought three in. Li Longji was already hungry
,
but he was still anxious to go to the sky, so he had to let the two carry something called a parachute on their backs and take a look at the hot air balloon that was not yet deflated.
Huzi and the two were not afraid at all, They have done this kind of thing a few times, getting into the basket skillfully, throwing the sandbags down one by one as the balloon rises, waiting for all the sandbags to run out, going all the way up very fast, very fast The rope was not long enough, and the height of the two of them reached one hundred and twenty feet. After
some disguise, the two came down again. This time Li Longji couldn’t bear it anymore. I went up in person, and the parachute was ready.
Gao Lishi also wanted to go up, and let him run a few steps quickly to bring the two who were not brought in. He took the parachute and said that he would go first, and the emperor would go up if there was nothing.
Zhang said that he did not agree with Li Longji going up, and found various reasons to persuade him
.
Li Longji was annoyed, as long as he ordered Zhang to speak up, he would eat something down below, and Gao Lishi also followed.
After tossing back and forth again, Gao said that there is really no danger. When I was on the top, I was just a little scared. After a while, I got used to it. A large area was paved, and after persuading him a few more words to no avail, he let Li Longji sit in the basket.
Hu Zi and the two became nervous now, and they were also worried that something would happen. They took Li Longji and slowly rose up together. They had just reached a height of ten feet when a group of ministers suddenly broke in from outside the courtyard, and before they got close, They began to persuade, and some even went to pull the rope.
