In the seventeenth year, on the eighteenth day of the first month of the lunar month, Prince Teng Yuanying had a coitus ceremony, and the emperor came in person, accompanied by the four concubines in the harem, the kings and princesses, and officials of third rank or above. Envoys from various countries set up green houses along the way to entertain the people of Chang'an with fine wine and banquets. All kinds of beauties sang and danced to congratulate each other, and Chang Le Wei Young... The living man Shangguan Yi slowly put down the pen in his hand and saw Li Yuanying put back the dagger in his hand and away from his fragile neck; Princess Jinyang put away the bricks in her hand and sat back obediently next to the emperor... Nothing He dared to raise his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead, bowed and bowed and exited the West Side Hall.
As soon as he walked out of the Li Zheng Hall, his feet fell to the ground. Shangguan Yi breathed a long sigh of relief and finally raised his sleeves to wipe his forehead: After writing six versions... I finally passed the test.
Jin Wang Li Zhi put down the tea cup in his hand, hesitated for three breaths, and said in a low voice: "Aye, everyone, I'm afraid... I'm afraid I can't guard against it..."
"Brother, what is the most important thing to all the princes? It's just to win the reputation before and after life." Princess Jinyang said softly while smashing the walnuts with a small hammer. "As long as there are no relevant records in formal historical materials, unofficial biographies are all based on one family's words and cannot be trusted by future generations. That's all because my uncle's "Donkeys in Guizhou", "Milks and Teachers in Linjiang" and the "Crab Ode" written by my uncle have discredited the scholar-bureaucrats' works. The face of the clan, the slander they framed.”
As for the spread of rumors among the people of Chang'an, it is easy to solve. As long as more novel and interesting things happen, it will take less than three days for them to forget what happened on their uncle's wedding day. My uncle said that public opinion can be guided and controlled, because most people don't care about the truth of the matter. They just like to watch the excitement and add some lively conversation topics to ordinary life.
"You don't want to test that... giant ball, do you?" Li Zhi thought of the strange rubber ball that Princess Jinyang and her master Gongsun Bai were playing with in Furong Garden. His eyes opened wider and wider, and he held it with both hands. He stood on the table, leaned forward, and spoke in a solemn and cold voice. "You must not ride that ball with Mr. Gongsun, it's too dangerous!"
Gongsun Bai's swordsmanship was at its peak, so there would naturally be no danger, but Jinyang couldn't do it. She was just a little girl who hadn't grown hair, and she hadn't grown up yet. There were many swordsmanship tricks that she couldn't practice at all. If Gongsun Bai accidentally made an oversight...it was in the air, and Jinyang was not the birdman Ye Fashan, the consequences would be disastrous!
"A huge ball?" Li Shimin and Li Yuanying looked at Jinyang Baozi at the same time and asked in confusion.
Could it be a hot air balloon... Li Yuanying thought of a certain scene in the picture book story he gave to Jinyang Xiaobao, and felt that the veins on his forehead were on the verge of going crazy: Little Sizi is not sensible, is that old ghost Gongsun Bai not sensible too? It’s not that you can’t make a hot air balloon, but you shouldn’t let Jinyang Little Baozi know about it when it’s still immature.
Princess Jinyang puffed up her cheeks in aggrieved manner, took out the scroll from her sleeve, and unfolded it for Li Shimin to see.
"???" Li Shimin said seriously as he looked at the ball flying in mid-air on the scroll. "None of you are allowed to ride on this thing."
After a moment of pause, he added: "Except for Mr. Gongsun and the others... unless it is safe after many tests, no one else is allowed to ride on this thing."
The Tang Dynasty is now short of people, not only in the various bureaus but also in all walks of life. Everyone is very valuable and there is no room for loss.
"Brother, you can use prisoners or death row prisoners for experiments." Li Yuanying looked at the scroll more carefully and found a structure similar to one that could regulate flames. Although Li Chunfeng signed countless bills, he did not gain anything at all. The failed experiment provided Gongsun Bai and Wei Guizang with a large amount of first-hand information, very precious first-hand information. "No." Li Shimin refused decisively without any hesitation or hesitation. "The captives must be used to build roads and cannot be wasted casually, and the death row prisoners must be dealt with according to the law. I don't want to be nagging by Liu Dewei, let alone a living man." record on file."
Shangguan Yi could be persuaded to change the records related to the wedding, to put it bluntly, because he knew that if it were realistic, he and his wife could not count the number of people who secretly put sacks on him and beat him with both hands. In short, in a nutshell, it can be summed up in four words: public anger is hard to offend.
"Then use dogs, pigs, or sheep." Li Yuanying curled his lips secretly. Li Erfeng is becoming more and more timid now. He no longer has the courage to fight with a sword and a horse. Tsk, tsk, tsk, the world is declining, and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be. "No matter how lively and lively the conversation is, it can't compare to the desire to fly in the sky.
, However, I must wait until I leave Chang'an before testing. "
The first hot-air balloon flight recorded in later generations took place on June 4, 1783. The Montgolfier brothers of Gaul performed a public performance in the Place Annone in Lyon. The balloon was made of papered cloth. The seams are fastened with buttons. The brothers used straw and wood to launch a balloon in which the passengers were a rooster, a goat and a duck.
On September 19 of the same year, in front of the Palace of Versailles, the Montgolfier brothers performed a hot-air balloon launch performance for the king, queen, palace ministers and 130,000 Huadu citizens. On the afternoon of November 21st, they conducted the world's first manned air navigation in Fort Muerte. The hot air balloon flew for 25 minutes and landed near the Chef Wolf Square in Bilet after flying over half of the capital. The brother's flight was a full 120 years earlier, and the sensational effect it created at that time can be imagined.
I never mentioned the hot air balloon. I originally thought that Li Chunfeng could get the helicopter first, but I didn't expect that he would fail if I gave him a chance. Furthermore, I also had to confirm whether the Kongming Lantern already existed. Another unexpected thing, Sichuan and Shu There really is no Kongming Lantern in this place. After three years of exploring the New World, alas, the pace of scientific research has slowed down a lot.
"Go to Yangzhou in three days, do your job well, and don't cause me any more trouble." Li Shimin thought of the hustle and bustle on the wedding night and raised his hand to rub his forehead. It was all because the envoys had prepared too much wine... However, the wine The taste is really good. Mr. Gongsun can study and improve it, and then sell it to them. It's just a small amount of money. Why is Qian so obsessed with money? It's all because Zhuzi is so evil that he led someone astray!
"Here." Li Yuanying bowed his hands without much sincerity, looked at the aggrieved little bun, and explained in a warm voice. "The material you use to make the ball is flammable to a certain extent. Looking at your drawing, there is an open flame exposed. It is too dangerous for manned flight. There are more important and unknown things. We don't know how high it will fly. I don’t know if there are any other dangers at high altitudes. Even for Mr. Gongsun, I don’t recommend him to test it out for the first time.”
He couldn't tell Jinyang Little Baozi that the temperature at high altitude was very low, nor that there was very little oxygen, and some test processes could not be omitted.
"Wei Wei." Princess Jinyang responded obediently.
Li Shimin: "..."
