On this day, Li Shimin summoned many of his favored concubines.
He had a sudden idea and asked everyone to go to the main hall of Tai Chi Palace in a hurry.
Then he said: "My beloved concubines, have you ever heard of any other places to play around here? Or is there any place that is more interesting?"
The concubines all expressed their understanding of Li Shimin's words.
But Concubine Yang said: "Your Majesty, recently I heard from people from the Shengtang Group that there is a small stream 70 miles southwest of Chang'an. The stream is fast and many people go there to play. And they took photos. .”
"Really? Where are the photos? Do you have them?"
"It happened that I had some attention on this matter, so I got some photos."
"Let me see it!"
Concubine Yang picked up the phone and showed it to Li Shimin.
Everyone is also confused, what kind of game is it that can attract Concubine Yang's attention? It must not be simple.
Let's see that Li Shimin couldn't look away from the photo.
Because in the photo he saw many people sitting on rubber boats. Along with the creek, drifting from high to low.
He has never experienced this new way of playing.
So he asked Concubine Yang, "My dear concubine, what is this called?"
"Your Majesty, listen to them, this is called rafting."
Then Concubine Yang introduced everything about rafting to Li Shimin.
She said: “Drifting is to drive a small boat without power and use the paddle to control the direction.
Floating down the river in sometimes rapid, sometimes gentle currents, and performing wonderful moments while fighting against nature, is what rafting is.
It was a condescending feeling.
It is a sport for the brave. It is loved by some people who are looking for excitement.
A meandering river extends into the hard hinterland of the canyon.
People ride down the river in rubber boats.
The sky is high and the water is long, the sun shines brightly, and you are surrounded by green mountains or flat land, drifting among them, and becoming one with nature.
No matter it is spring, summer or autumn or winter, it has a unique taste. Moreover, it is very popular here and you can take many photos.
I heard that while drifting, you can watch the scenery coming from the boat. There will be an expectation. Expect excitement! Expect thrills! Looking forward to fighting nature! Looking forward to the relief after the "near miss"! "
Everyone was mesmerized when they heard it. They really didn’t expect that a rafting trip could have so many feelings.
If you go and experience it yourself, you will definitely feel the wonderful feeling.
Queen Changsun said: "If this is the case, I would also like to try it. What about you?"
"We also want to see what this so-called rafting is like."
"Yes, from what Concubine Yang said, it would be a pity not to go and take a look."
"I want to go too!"
"Can I go?"
…
Many concubines expressed that they wanted to go.
And everyone's attention moved to Li Shimin.
In fact, when Li Shimin heard about the movement of brave men, he decided on it immediately.
Then, he said: "Okay, that's it!"
Queen Changsun asked: "When will we set off?"
"Let's set off immediately! Go to the place Yang Fei mentioned."
He considers himself to be a brave man in life, so he loves this sport very much.
Everyone was overjoyed.
Then you can set off.
Then Li Shimin said: "By the way, bring your camera and I will take pictures for you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The concubines were very happy.
In fact, whether he can shoot or not is still a question. This is a dangerous sport.
It is possible that the camera will be thrown into the creek.
When the time comes, what will he shoot with?
This camera is also worth a lot of money.
But no one knows this.
Everyone just felt happy because Li Shimin took the photo himself, so it must be good-looking.
So the group of people got ready, and finally got on the helicopter and headed to the place Yang Fei mentioned.
Concubine Yang also specifically asked Li Min to learn about the project there.
Everyone was listening to Concubine Yang.
At this time, Concubine Yang told everything she knew.
Everyone suddenly realized.
Oh I see.
The group of people soon arrived at the place Yang Fei mentioned.
What used to be a long journey became very close in front of the helicopter.
At this time, when everyone arrived at their destination, they saw many small boats floating slowly in the creek, heading towards the unknown place below.
These boats are harshly colored and create a beautiful scene. The combination is the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. It feels so wonderful.
Li Shimin had a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery here.
Looking at the continuous ripples of news, layers of ripples like bird feathers, the bright sunshine shines on everyone, forming a wonderful color.
As the wind blows, the leaves rustle, and the subtle sound of water echoes in the ears, as if sweet memories are nourishing the depths of the soul. The boat floats with the water. At this moment, only the beautiful scenery of nature can calm them down.
Everyone is dressed in casual clothes.
When everyone saw the people at the scene, they were no longer calm.
It turns out there are so many people here.
At this time someone came towards them.
"Do you want to go rafting?"
The man obviously didn't recognize Li Shimin.
"yes!"
"That's it, please go this way!"
Everyone was puzzled.
"Is there anyone else managing this place?" Li Shimin asked.
"Yes, this place is managed by Shengtang Group, and we are all employees of Shengtang Group!"
"Is this an attraction?" Li Shimin asked.
"So be it." The man said again.
"Does that cost money?"
"No, there is no charge, but because this sport is dangerous, personnel evacuation is required, but Shengtang Group has paid for these expenses for you."
Everyone was shocked. It turned out that Shengtang Group was so advanced.
No wonder there are so many people here.
"I see."
"Yes, so we would like to thank you, sir, and Shengtang Group for creating a wonderful life for us."
Li Shimin and others stopped talking.
"Come with me, let's go upstream, where we have prepared boats for everyone."
"please!"
Of course everyone was happy when they heard that it was free of charge.
If this all costs money, that would be a huge disappointment.
Maybe no money is required in the early stage, but money will be charged in the later stage.
This is what Li Min often does.
But I am afraid only Shengtang Group knows the details.
"Everyone, be careful, the rocks here are slippery."
The man said very thoughtfully.
The last group of people waited at a house upstream.
"Okay, now I will give each person a life jacket. This piece of clothing requires a deposit of one tael. When you arrive downstream, return the clothes to the designated place, and the one tael of silver will be returned to you. We are not doing this to make money. , but to prevent some people from taking the life jackets as their own. These clothes are very precious and are given to those in need. I hope everyone understands."
This person said this, and Li Shimin agreed.
"That's right. In this case, everyone can abide by the rules more. I agree to do this!"
"Officials are really knowledgeable and courteous!"
Li Shimin felt very happy after being praised.
"Okay, I'll give out life jackets to everyone."
Everyone was confused as to what a life jacket was.
"You may not understand what a life jacket is, let me explain it here. It is a life-saving garment, designed like a vest, made of buoyant materials, inflatable materials, reflective materials, etc. It has sufficient buoyancy on the body, It allows the head of a person who falls into the water to come out of the water. With it, you can ensure that you will not drown."
I see.
Then the life jackets were handed out. Li Shimin looked at the clothes and found them very interesting.
He even wanted to take the clothes away.
Take it back and put it in the palace.
"I will now teach you how to put on this life jacket!"
That man was very dedicated.
After finishing speaking, he finally said: "Since it is rafting, of course it is inseparable from water. So don't bring valuable things with you that are afraid of water, such as cameras and mobile phones. If you bring them, they may be damaged by water. If you must Come on, I can provide some sealed bags here, but they can’t protect you from getting wet. So, you can put your items in the storage area.”
Finally, the man said a lot.
It's all half-safe.
He reminded everyone to listen carefully to these things.
Finally, Li Shimin was given five kayaks.
Everyone got on the boat in five groups.
Finally, everyone got on the boat.
Flying down from a high place, Li Shimin felt the river flowing backwards and twisting and turning.
Everyone hugged the boat.
It was like experiencing a fateful journey along the way.
The noisy sound of water directly drowned out everyone's screams.
People could be seen nearby who were about to go up the mountain. They stared at Li Shimin and others and found it very interesting.
The water roared, stones flew quickly on both sides, and the grass swayed.
When passing through a narrow place, you can see the mist spreading like a veil, covering the five boats.
The boat slowed now, but was still moving forward.
Li Shimin didn't even have a hand to hold a camera.
The sudden flow just now made him a little panicked.
But as time went by, this feeling gradually weakened.
At this time, the breeze blew and the calm water surface rippled.
Five boats slowly pushed away from the center and drove along a small waterfall.
The hull of the boat swayed gently, as if interwoven into a melodious melody.
Everyone felt the ups and downs of the ship's hull, and suddenly, the ship's bow turned straight down.
The boat went down quickly.
No one can fully grasp it with their hands.
Find yourself in an infinitely vast universe.
Suddenly, a strong current carried the boat forward quickly, as if it was caught in a huge whirlpool.
The ship was jolting, as if people were about to be thrown out of the ship. I can only hold on to the side tightly and try to maintain balance.
During the rafting process, the wind howled and water splashed.
The boat rocked violently, as if fighting the forces of nature. Time seems to have frozen, and the long and boundless water surface gives people a feeling of confusion.
At this time Li Shimin was thrown out and fell directly into the water.
Everyone started to panic.
But because of the life jacket, he floated, and he tried to find the boat, but there were too many boats.
In the end I had to grab one randomly.
But what followed was the next rapid.
He couldn't care less and held the boat tightly with both hands.
Finally he let go and the ship moved away from him.
He stood up, and it turned out that the water had only reached his waist, and it was so cold that it chilled his heart.
"Master Huang, here!"
At this time, there were other concubines' boats parked in front of him. Li Shimin jumped up and sat on them directly.
Then he drifted again.
After an unknown amount of time, the boat gradually entered calm waters.
The mountain scenery comes into view, and the distant shore and rolling mountains look like a fairyland. This peaceful scene makes people feel relaxed and happy, as if they are integrated into the rhythm of nature.
This seems to be the end.
Everyone was a little reluctant to leave.
Because they saw many people pulling the ship to the side.
Now that the rafting is over, everyone steps onto solid land.
Looking back, the once unfamiliar waters have become so familiar.
This rafting trip allows people to experience the fragility and tenacity of life, and also realize the infinite power and beauty of nature.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, everyone was wet with water.
At this time Li Shimin suddenly said: "How about playing again?"
His words drew everyone's agreement.
Everyone also wants to play it again.
"That's it, let's go up the mountain!"
Li Shimin said.
There is nothing to transport people up the mountain, there is only a trail going up.
So, everyone followed Li Shimin up the mountain.
When they went up the mountain, the man was still there. Regarding their arrival, the man said that he had seen too many such things.
But I still told them that they shouldn’t play this activity too many times, as they might catch a cold or something.
But how could Li Shimin listen?
Today they want to have fun no matter what.
In the end, they played it five times before they were willing to stop.
It’s not that they don’t want to play anymore.
It's because walking up the mountain is too tiring.
Every time you go up the mountain, you spend a lot of energy.
So everyone didn’t want to go up the mountain.
When Li Shimin finished experiencing rafting, he felt very comfortable. He hasn't been like this for a long time.
"Come again in the future!"
He only said four words.
As you know, there will be opportunities in the future.
When they were about to leave, Li Shimin made the helicopter stop directly in front of them.
Everyone was shocked when they saw the helicopter.
Because this helicopter belongs to the emperor.
So, among this group of people, there must be dignitaries.
When everyone got on the helicopter, they were all exhausted.
Some people even fell asleep.
At this time, Queen Changsun seemed to see the existence of the life jacket.
"Your Majesty, this...life jacket"
"I'll take it back and study it. Maybe we can make this thing." Li Shimin said.
He was interested in life jackets again.
No one said anything about this.
"My dear concubine, you have contributed a lot to this rafting trip. If you have something new to play with next time, you must tell me." Li Shimin said to Concubine Yang.
"Yes, Your Majesty! I understand." Concubine Yang said.
She also learned about this sport by accident.
This is what Li Min said.
"Others are like this too. If you find anything interesting, be sure to write it down. I will take you to play together." Li Shimin was afraid that he was addicted to playing.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Okay, come on, let's go back."
The helicopter accelerated towards Tai Chi Palace.
Today's rafting made it difficult for everyone to walk for several days.
Because this sport is really intense.
