Li Junxian said coldly: "If you call His Majesty by his first name again, I will kill you now."
Jie Li glanced at Li Junxian, "I'm going to die, what should I be afraid of!"
Jieli sighed and whispered, "Boy, I tell you Tuli is not worth winning over. What Xue Yantuo wants is the fertile pastures of Monan, and Du'er is a man without wisdom."
After saying this, Jieli walked out of the house in a big way.
Under the escort of Li Junxian and others, they walked all the way on Zhuque Street.
Pedestrians on the street saw Jieli walking on Zhuque Street. This was the first time he walked in front of so many people since he was captured.
Jie Li looked at the prosperity of Chang'an City with a smile on his face.
This time, he volunteered to do the experiment, and his life and death depended on him.
No one would gossip, and it was not Li Shimin who killed him.
Walking out of the south city gate, Jieli laughed and said, "What are you going to do?"
The two aunts were still making final preparations, and the coals under the hot air balloon had been lit.
Bamboo strips and cloth were used to make a huge lantern, which was in the shape of an oval with a wide top and narrow bottom.
Zhang Yang said to Jie Li: "You walk into this basket, and then keep pulling the lever up and down."
Jieli laughed three times and stepped into the basket.
Zhang Yang explained: "If you feel that you are not rising fast enough, you can throw away the sandbag tied to the basket, but I don't recommend you do this."
Jieli kept pulling on the pole, and the flames burned brighter with each push and pull.
Because the brazier was huge, Jie Li gradually felt it was difficult. Every time he pushed and pulled, the pressure inside the bellows would increase, and every time he pushed it up, it would become more difficult.
Zhang Yang said to him: "Your frequency can be faster."
After speaking, Zhang Yang stood next to Li Yue, "Have you tried everything?"
Li Yue hugged Zhang Yang's arm and said, "I've tried them all."
Flames emerged from the black cylinder again and again, like a torch.
Jieli was already sweating profusely, and with every push and pull, the flames grew higher.
Slowly the basket began to rise, higher and higher.
Seeing this scene, Li Chengqian took a step forward and nervously grasped the cracks in the city wall.
Watching the hot air balloon rising, Li Shimin's expression froze.
Someone was shouting under the city wall, and people kept coming out to watch this feat.
The hot air balloon got higher and higher, and Jieli stopped pushing and pulling.
That huge lantern has accumulated a lot of lifting force.
Jieli stopped pushing and pulling. He looked down in panic, but felt something had dropped. He pulled the lever again, and the flames burst out of the tube again and again.
He laughed excitedly, "Boy! It turns out you can really be free! Hahahaha!"
Jieli laughed and threw down a few more sandbags.
This time the hot air balloon rose faster, and gradually people had to look up at this huge monster. It had no wings, but it was getting higher and higher.
Completely refreshed everyone's outlook.
The shouting in front of Chang'an City also stopped, and everyone watched this scene in silence.
Li Yue hugged Zhang Yang excitedly. She felt dizzy with happiness. After such a long time of hard work and such long time of study, she finally had the results she deserved.
While Zhang Yang's attention was focused on the hot ball, Li Yue quickly pecked him on the face.
Zhang Yang cleared his throat, "I didn't feel it just now, can I do it again?"
"Husband, you..." Li Yue blushed and hit his shoulder with her small fist.
Her fists were still so weak.
The hot air balloon rose with the wind, and several more sandbags were thrown down.
Zhang Yang sighed: "He is quite anxious."
Li Yue also counted, "There are still four sandbags left on top."
In order to increase the pressure inside the bellows, Zhang Yang also specially used a plug made of beef tendon to increase the air tightness, thereby improving the efficiency of air compression.
The coal will always burn out and fall down.
He must land before burning up, otherwise he will be thrown to death.
Zhang Yang looked worried, "Daughter-in-law."
Li Yue was so happy that she couldn't find Bei. She hugged Zhang Yang's arm and said, "Yes."
Zhang Yang said, "How long can these coals be burned?"
Li Yue took out his little notebook and looked through it, "It takes about two hours. There is a lot of coal loaded this time. The higher the efficiency of the bellows, the faster it will be consumed. It will not exceed an hour."
This scene was unforgettable for the entire city of Chang'an. Li Chengqian watched this scene excitedly, "Father, he really..."
My son-in-law must never leave Guanzhong, he was certain in his heart.
A group of students in the Imperial College lost their minds. The hot air balloon had already flown over Chang'an City. The students ran out of the Imperial College. This silent floating monster was right above everyone's heads.
"Did you see there was a person in that basket?"
"That man's movements are so weird. What is he doing?"
In Chang'an City, Cheng Yaojin and Li Xiaogong were drinking wine and scolding the censors in the court together.
Li Xiaogong heard the shouts on the street and saw many passers-by looking up at the sky. He also looked up and wondered: "What kind of monster is that!"
Cheng Yaojin also raised his head and pointed at the monster in the sky and shouted: "Hey! What kind of monster!"
In the palace, Yan Liben has already built more than sixty toilets for the palace. Such a large project is very tiring.
The dignified Minister of Industry visited all the toilets in the palace and had never entered so many toilets in his life.
He heard the exclamations of officials from the Ministry of Works outside and looked up at the sky.
A monster floated silently above Chang'an City.
Yan Liben wiped the sweat from his forehead, wondering what kind of monster this was.
A monster floating in the sky.
This is the first feeling of everyone in Chang'an City.
The news quickly spread throughout the government and the public.
From the vision in the night sky at the beginning of the year, now there is a monster in the sky. What year is this, and visions occur frequently?
In Qintian Prison, Yuan Tiangang looked at the monster in the sky for a long time and was speechless.
A group of soldiers and horses passed through the streets of Chang'an City. They exited the west city gate and chased the hot air balloon all the way.
Seeing the hot air balloon drifting further and further away, the couple watched the hot air balloon getting lower and lower. It seemed that Xie Li had realized that he was slowing down the push and pull speed, trying to get the hot air balloon to descend.
Zhang Yang touched Li Yue's head, "It seems he has realized it."
Aunt Wang came over and said, "The carriage is ready."
Li Yue took the two aunts and got on the carriage. Zhang Yang quickly drove the horse to chase the hot air balloon.
The hot air balloon passed by the west city gate and headed towards the suburbs. Some people in Chang'an City wanted to chase it, but they were stopped by the defenders.
Zhang Yang drove the carriage and was about to chase him. The height of the hot air balloon was getting lower and lower. Calculating the time and height, it was still relatively stable. It seemed that Jie Li would have no problem landing smoothly.
Li Junxian led two officers and soldiers to stop the carriage. He said loudly: "Your Majesty has summoned you! Your Highness the Princess and the Consort, please enter the palace to see Your Majesty."
Seeing Zhang Yang look at the direction of the hot air balloon again, Li Junxian said again: "Don't worry about the rest of the matter."
Will Li Shimin really let Jie Li go free?
Even if he lands safely, Li Shimin will not let him go.
Zhang Yang felt a little sad and helpless.
After looking at Li Yue in the carriage, Zhang Yang pulled the reins to make the horse change direction.
Li Yue looked very unhappy when she thought about entering the palace. She sat next to Zhang Yang silently and hugged his arm.
"Are you scared?" Zhang Yang whispered.
Li Yue leaned her head on Zhang Yang's shoulder and said nothing.
"Some things always have to be faced. Don't be afraid of them. You have to conquer them. You can't be afraid of them all your life."
Li Yue nodded, "I'm not afraid as long as my husband is here."
Jie Li's life and death no longer mattered, it was just the meaning of Li Shimin's words.
Under the escort of the two aunts, the couple followed Li Junxian into the city and walked all the way towards the Zhuque Gate.
When you walked into the Zhuque Gate, you could clearly feel Li Yue's hand tightening.
She didn't care what others thought, she just wanted to hold her husband's hand now, and her childhood memories appeared in her mind one after another.
The fear in my heart resurfaced again.
Feeling the warmth of Zhang Yang's palm, Li Yue mentioned her courage. You can't be afraid of it all your life, you have to conquer it.
The palace was like a ferocious beast to Li Yue, it opened its bloody mouth.
How small I look in front of it.
The two aunts are already palace maids, and they can follow them into the palace.
When Li Yue saw her husband's firm steps, she stood up straight, looked up at Chengtian Gate, and walked in with the same firm steps.
The couple was speechless all the way, even though the road ahead was full of swords and mountains of fire.
I can't let myself fear this place for the rest of my life just because of my childhood memories, I have to face it!
Li Yue let go of Zhang Yang's hand and continued walking alone.
Stopping in front of the Ganlu Palace, Li Junxian said: "Your Majesty is inside. Please come in, Your Majesty the Princess and the Consort."
The two looked at each other and walked into the hall together.
Li Shimin was sitting upright.
The couple looked at Li Shimin and saluted in perfect agreement.
Li Shimin looked at Li Yue, saw his daughter's firm eyes, and then looked at Zhang Yang.
"What happened today will be unforgettable for many people. If you say it, you will do it."
"There are still many flaws in this trial, and there are many areas that need to be adjusted."
Li Shimin nodded and said, "How many people know how to create that monster?"
"My daughter, her husband, and two aunts, there is no one else." Li Yue looked at his father and said.
Her eyes were firm and a little timid, but she stood straight.
My daughter is no longer the crying girl she used to be.
Li Shimin was very satisfied, my daughter shouldn't cry.
"Except for you, no one can create this thing anymore except those I allow. Do you understand what I mean?"
Hot air balloons are also a means of transportation that can go up to the sky.
Li Yue took a thick stack of drawings from Aunt Wang and said, "Father, all the methods of making are on it."
The eunuch took the drawing and handed it to Li Shimin.
Looking at the content on the drawing, Li Shimin kept flipping through it and whispered: "From now on, you and your wife can come and go at Lishan Palace at will. All the households in Lantian County are your food. I will issue an edict." "
"Thank you, Father." Li Yue bowed slightly.
Looking at Zhang Yang again, Li Shimin's expression looked familiar, "Zhang Yang, I can't give you the power of the Ministry of Rites for free. It still depends on the ability of the Ministry of Rites. This cannot be changed. It cannot be changed because of this, otherwise it will be difficult to obey the courtiers."
"I understand."
Zhang Yang replied.
"Before, you gave Yan Liben a hard time because of the flush toilet matter. I know that, and I don't want to blame you. It's because his skills are inferior to others. You still serve in the Ministry of Rites. In the future, you can also use the Ministry of Work to mobilize the needs of the fief construction at will. I will Talk to Yan Liben."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Shimin then said: "Yue'er, please drop by and see your grandpa Huang. He misses you very much."
"My daughter is resigning."
"I excuse myself."
Li Shimin let out a long breath, still looking at the drawings.
The two walked out of the Manna Hall, and Li Yue held Zhang Yang's hand again, "You're not afraid of my father, are you?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I'm afraid of what your father will do."
It seems that the palace is no longer so scary. The memories of childhood are slowly fading away, and the shadows in my heart are dispersing at this moment.
Li Yuan was listening to the bell music played by the ritual and music officials of Taichang Temple.
The eunuch led the people outside Wude Hall, "The Emperor, Princess Runan and the Consort are here."
"Yes." Li Yuan nodded lightly, Princess Runan...
When he regained consciousness, Li Yuan's eyes widened and he saw the couple standing at the door. He kicked away the etiquette and music officials and said, "Get out of here."
The etiquette and music officials resigned one after another.
Li Yuan looked at the two of them again, "Hahaha!"
Sure enough, the laughter was still the same wild, Zhang Yang smiled awkwardly.
Li Yuan was in a good mood, "Come here! Serve wine and meat!"
Faced with Li Yuan's enthusiasm, it was difficult for the two of them to refuse.
At this moment Li Chengqian also came, "I learned that Yue'er and Zhang Shilang came to the palace, so I came to take a look."
"Everybody sit down, everybody sit down." Li Yuan said with a smile on his face.
After sitting down, wine and meat were served. Under Zhang Yang's care, Li Yue usually ate very delicately. When he saw a large piece of beef with bones in front of him...
Li Yue didn't know what to say for a while.
Li Yuan smiled and said: "I heard that that weird thing in the sky was created by you and your wife, is it true?"
Li Yue was still thinking about how to eat this piece of beef, so she nodded slightly to deal with it.
Zhang Yang looked at Li Yuan, "Your Majesty, is there any water?"
Li Yuan cleared his throat, "Isn't there wine?"
"It's not for drinking. As a couple, we have a habit of washing our hands before eating."
"Wash your hands before eating?" Li Yuan took a sip of wine, "What's the point?"
Asking the palace maid to bring two basins of water, Li Yuan watched them wash their hands with a puzzled expression.
Zhang Yang tore the cooked beef into strips and slices, then poured some gravy on it and handed it to Li Yue beside him.
Seeing the beef that had been torn apart, it turned out that my husband had noticed my difficulty a long time ago. Li Yue felt warm in her heart, which made it much easier to eat.
Li Yuan asked in confusion: "Why do you have to wash your hands before eating? What's the point?"
"This is called hygiene." Zhang Yang said as he ate beef. He almost forgot what beef tasted like. It was really rare to eat beef in the Tang Dynasty.
"Hygiene? What a strange habit." Li Yuan thought thoughtfully.
"The monster that appeared in the sky today will definitely arouse a lot of discussion. I think some people will want to go up there and try it."
Li Yuan took a sip of wine and said, "I also want to know if the stars in the sky can be picked off."
