The two little eunuchs were afraid, and the people below were also nervous. They were worried that the hot air balloon suddenly fell from the sky. It was not that the two people were 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 his hope would turn into disappointment. Then he didn't know when to wait for the next test. At the same time, he had to go up in the future. The ministers would definitely stop him, because dangerous.
The voices of the two little eunuchs became louder and louder, and one of them said to the other: "If I fall, then you are on top of me. Maybe you can survive if I am cushioned by me."
"Don’t say anything. I didn’t think about falling. Besides, I couldn’t live if I fell. Reduce the fire and don’t throw sandbags. Master Gao said. Now sandbags are not used to adjust height. Just fire Large, the hot air balloon can continue to rise, the bottom is fixed by human grasping at the beginning, sandbags are specially used for escape.
If it suddenly falls down, then throw all the sandbags down. Maybe the falling speed can be slower, and let us not jump out of the basket. There is a mat specially made by Zhang Wang's family under the basket. , Can reduce the strength of falling, how high can it be now? "
The other little eunuch refused to let the previous eunuch say that he didn't want to talk nonsense when there was nothing wrong with it, but it turned out that something happened.
The people below have begun to protect Li Longji from falling things on the emperor. The rope is not too thick, but it is very strong, and it is still very long. The hot air balloon is also flying higher and higher. Now it is estimated that there will be ten. It's five feet old, and it continues to fly upwards.
"Luxury, it seems that hot air balloons can indeed take people to fly. Even if something goes wrong this time, it doesn't mean that hot air balloons are wrong."
Li Longji said to Gao Lishi, he was afraid that if he failed, others would not let him go up in the future.
Gao Lishi understands, and at the same time is willing to listen to Li Longji's words, because of the failure, Xiaobao and the cuckoo do not have much responsibility. After all, they have really taken people to fly, and the reason for the failure can be attributed to the poor operation of the person above. Aspect.
So he replied: "Your Majesty, then you can't go up right away. If you succeed, you will have to wait for a few more trials. The manual says that if you want to go up, you must be accompanied by someone. The two members of the Family Guardian Miao No. 0 team, they can try their best to ensure your stability."
Li Longji nodded, letting people show clairvoyance, looking up from the bottom up, he really wanted to fly up to see him personally, but he knew that was impossible.
When talking, the hot air balloon has risen to a height of more than 30 feet. The height can not be measured directly, but there is the length of the rope. Every distance, a number is written on the rope to let people know how to release it. How long is it.
The two little eunuchs are not as scared to death as they were just now. Anyway, they are both like this. Just accept their fate. When they rise to this distance, the two of them will adjust the size of the fire little by little, and look down with clairvoyance. They happened to be with Li. Longi met.
Seeing the person above, Li Longji waved his hand happily as a sign of encouragement, and excited the two little eunuchs. He found the dragon flag from the basket, hung it, and waved it downward as well.
"Your Majesty, it looks like it's 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."
Gao Lishi said happily.
"Yes, there are two more people waiting outside, let them come in and take a look." Jing Gao Lishi said, Li Longji thought that there were still people outside. That was the strongest guard of the Zhang family, who came here on behalf of the Zhang family. I was too scornful, so I hurriedly made people shout.
In fact, there is no need to come in at all. At this time, the two people outside have seen it. The hot air balloon is not small and flying so high. Not only the two of them saw it, but the other people who occasionally looked at the sky also saw it, a big guy. Floating above the Xing Xing Palace, I don't know what it is? It's like Kongming Lantern, but it's very different.
The people in the palace were the first to know. As soon as someone said, other people raised their heads and looked up at the sky to see what was flying above Xingqing Palace. People outside the palace also stopped and wanted 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 the people around the palace stopped moving. Some people are too far away and can't see clearly, so they squeeze forward hard, and after a while, they find that even if they squeeze dozens of steps forward, the things in the sky seem to be that big.
Zhang said that he was staying at Zhong Shuling at this time. He heard someone come to report. He took out the clairvoyance and stood outside to look. Now it became clear that a large guy had hung a basket underneath, with a dragon on the basket. The flag was flying, and two little eunuchs poked their heads out and waved back and forth.
When he saw this, Zhang said he couldn’t take any official business anymore, and quickly trot towards Xingqing Palace. Now he somewhat understood that the emperor who had to ride around was too far away. If he had a car now. With bicycles, it will be much easier.
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 take a look." Seeing Zhang speaking, Li Longji beckoned to him.
Zhang said that he didn’t have the joy of others, and he nervously approached Li Longji, and persuaded, “Your Majesty, you can’t find this thing. Who sent it? There are people on it, just in case it falls. Come down, whether it is the people above or below are in danger? The minister impeached the person who sent this plaything."
Zhang said that he made an action to protect Li Longji, his face was calm, and he seemed to be in trouble.
Gao Lishi couldn't listen to it anymore. How could the things that his son and daughter-in-law made so hard to make people make so unbearable? Still want to impeach? Well, now it is possible to impeach, and both children have official status.
But that is absolutely impossible, so he retorted: "Master Zhang's statement is wrong, how can it be a plaything? This is about life and death. In the marching formation, you can see the things below clearly from the top, if you can fly to it. The enemy general threw down the grenade used by the cuckoo in the war. Master Zhang, what are the consequences?"
Zhang said that he was stunned by Gao Lishi’s question, and after careful consideration, it was indeed correct. If this thing flies on the enemy’s head, let alone throwing a grenade, it can kill a person even by throwing a stone. If there is one flying above the palace , Bring a large bag of explosives, light it and throw it down when the emperor comes out of the palace, and the Great Tang is over.
What Gao Lishi said was written in Zhang Xiaobao's letter. When anything was invented, it was usually used in the military, and the same was true for hot air balloons.
Li Longji really didn't expect that all he was thinking about was being able to go to a higher place to take a good look at the capital. At this time, he heard Gao Lishi's words and took a deep breath and said:
"It's no wonder that Xiaobao and Juanjuan want people to make hot air balloons. It turns out to be easy to use in wars. If you equip the army with dozens of hot air balloons, with grenades on them, and a light ride underneath, let me ask who else? Can you beat her? It used to be very powerful, does Zhang Qing understand?"
Zhang said nodded to make it clear, and at the same time suppressed the idea of impeachment. He was too anxious just now, and he didn't ask who sent the goods. Only now did he realize that just now, he was really ill-conceived, except for the Zhang Wang family. , No one has the ability to make something that can take people to the sky.
Little Treasure and Juanjuan cannot be impeached. What's more, it's clarified now that they are not for playing, but for marching and fighting. That is a major matter and should not be taken lightly.
But he saw the rope below and found that it was wrong, and asked: "Your Majesty, can it really be used for war? But the following still needs to be tied with a rope. Once there is no rope, who can know that this is called a hot air balloon? Where will things fly? How do they get above the enemy?"
At this point, Li Longji could answer him, take out the manual, hand it to Zhang Shuo’s hand, and say to him: "This thing has not been completed yet, and there is another power system that has not been installed. After installation, it will be able to be in the sky. When the wind is not too strong, move at will."
"Yes, the minister understands." Zhang said that he couldn't say anything else. Since it was something that Wang and Wang's family had researched, he should be able to think of this, and the two of them are researching things in stages, a little bit. Improvement, this is to make the emperor happy first.
"Your Majesty, this thing is too lethal. Isn't it allowed to be made by King Zhang and his family in the future? It's handed over to the Ministry of War, and there should be someone from the military inspector who can cooperate."
Zhang said that thinking of the things that flashed in his mind just now, he was afraid that if one day Wang Wang's family could not be controlled, they would be troublesome if they used a hot air balloon with explosives to blow up the palace.
Gao Lishi was dissatisfied, and said to the side: "Master Zhang, if Wang and Wang's family are not allowed to make hot air balloons, will they not have to bring out better things in the future? Why not do it? Can improve and make things better? Count on the Ministry of War? Count on the military equipment supervisor? They really have that ability. Today, it is not the Zhang and Wang family sending hot air balloons."
Zhang said that he knew why Gao Lishi was rebutting his son’s affairs. Of course he was dissatisfied with him, but he still insisted on asking: "Then if the two of them want to disadvantage your majesty..."
"Zhang Qing can't say that. If Xiaobao and Juanjuan want to be disadvantageous to me, they won't take out the hot air balloon to let me know. If they can't even believe this, wouldn't it be cold that Xiaobao and Juanjuan are working hard in Tubo? The heart of killing the enemy? To be honest, I have always felt that if they want to disadvantage me, there are many ways."
Li Longji said to Zhang that he did think so in his heart, because he could never guess what Zhang Wang's family would do, especially the poison needle on the belt, it was too concealed, if no one could believe it. , When a minister goes to court, he can clean himself up.
The things that Zhang Wang’s family did are all on the bright side, and they didn’t hide it at all. Moreover, Wang Qiao’er’s father was also protecting himself at the beginning, and it was impossible to do it on himself. In addition, someone was still watching over there. We have done too many precautions on this matter, so who else can believe it
King Goe's leader? Wan Qi's Ge Fushun? And the Gao Lishi next to him? Can't believe it, can you just let yourself do everything alone
Thinking of this, Li Longji said to Zhang again: "When Zhang Qing just came in, no one searched her body. If Zhang Qing has something on her body, do I have to worry too?"
"The minister dare not. The minister is loyal to his majesty and 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 horrified, and he couldn't just say it casually. Khan came out immediately.
After saying this, he stopped speaking, and stood beside him honestly, looking at the hot air balloon that was still flying in the sky. He knew that if he said more, it meant that the Zhang and Wang family could not be trusted. If you are loyal to the emperor, is it possible that everyone else is unfaithful
Gao Lishi did not speak beside him, but he was very dissatisfied with Zhang said that the relationship was good, but he dared to slander his son and daughter-in-law.
Everyone was quiet now, and then the rope pulling the hot air balloon made a slight noise by the wind. The two eunuchs above had risen to a height of fifty feet, even if they looked down with clairvoyance, they were not as clear as before. .
The two discussed, took out the larger dragon flag in the basket, spread it out and hung it on the side of the basket, the flag was blown by the wind and opened with a bang, moving against the wind.
As soon as the flag came out, cheers rang out in the palace. Those outside the palace who could see clearly the patterns on the flag were also excited. The dragon flag of Tang Dynasty floated up, and the high ground was in the sky. Except for the Tang Dynasty, May I ask which other country can do it
People from other countries can't say what it feels like to see a flag as big as the sky flying, especially the work of Tubo left in Datang. After seeing this flag and the things that can fly to the sky, they feel like their own country. It is impossible to catch up with Datang for a while.
They are not all fools. They know that there are people on it when they see the banner that is hung out suddenly, but they can't see the traction rope, thinking that the thing is floating in the sky by itself, and people can be put on it.
According to the news from Tubo, the evil cuckoo has a weapon that is much more powerful than fireworks and can kill people. If they can throw that weapon down on it, how can they fight
Li Longji heard a loud cheer, even if it was far away, he raised his head, looked at the hot air balloon flying in the sky, sighed, and said: "From now on, I have no worries about Datang."
Both Zhang Shuo and Gao Lishi know the meaning of this sentence. It does not mean that there is a hot air balloon to fight a battle and it is worry-free, but that there is the existence of Zhang Wang's family, and things were made by others. From when they were in Sanshui County , Wang and Wang's family kept making and taking out things, useful in the water, useful in weapons, and now there are flying in the sky.
In addition, Xiaobao and Juanjuan, who have learned a lot of abilities of superiors, are still young and can live for a long time, and they are Yunwen Yunwu. As long as they are there, there is no need to worry about sudden things that cannot be dealt with.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Gao Lishi is also thinking of the country in his heart, and he is also loyal to Li Longji. He said Li Longji's words and said softly.
Zhang said also followed suit. Although he was very uncomfortable, he finally reached the position of prime minister, suppressed all the people who should be suppressed, and brought power into his hands. However, the appearance of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan made him discover that he was fundamental Not all power can be used.
At least not for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. Others want to listen to the orders they issued, but they both dare not listen. There is no way to use them. In the military order, once Wang Juan goes out, he can say yes. Will suffer from military fate abroad.
I can't say that I have had experience in the frontier army, which is better than Wang Juan. It was proved by corpses and blood.
Zhang Xiaobao does not need to listen to administrative orders, because he is very proficient in economics and can find 10,000 reasons to refute himself, and his power is obviously restricted.
Li Longji doesn't know what Zhang Shuo thinks in his heart. What he thinks most now is why didn't Xiaobao and the cuckoo stay in the capital to work? Then you can see it at any time now. Watching the hot air balloon sent from the home of the two people, eating the food made by the two people, and listening to what the two people say, it must feel very good.
With regret in his heart, Li Longji no longer wanted to watch the hot air balloon fly, and said to the person next to him: "Let them get down. Don't use the rope to see if the hot air balloon can descend slowly by itself."
The people below immediately began to convey orders to the two eunuchs above, waving a big flag back and forth so that the two above them could see.
At this time, the two little eunuchs really didn't want to go down right away. After they found that there was no danger, they enjoyed the feeling of flying in the sky very much. They looked at the scenery of the capital with clairvoyance and felt the coolness of the downwind. It was really comfortable.
Seeing that the flag was playing below, I had to press this thought in my heart, glanced at each other, and sighed at the same time. I don't know if there will be a chance to come up in the future, maybe it will be this once in a lifetime.
Lowering the fire a little bit, feeling the slow descent speed, the two people looked at the surrounding scenery as much as possible, so that they could wait to get back to the ground and talk to others.
When it came down, the overall time was much less than when it went up. For about a quarter of an hour, the hot air balloon slowly landed on it, and the cloth directly covered the two little eunuchs.
"How about up there?" Li Longji asked urgently after getting the two little eunuchs out.
"Back to your Majesty, the wind is a bit strong above, but we are happy, especially when the flag is flying. We all feel that this is the happiest time. Also, it’s a bit swaying above, and everything else is gone. At the beginning The two of us were so scared to death, we waited for a long time in the sky, and found that it was just like that, it was all right."
The little eunuch hurriedly replied, his excited little face flushed, and after waiting to leave, he could tell others.
At this time, two people from the zero seedling team also walked in from the outside. They both dressed up in tights and carried three big bags in their hands. When they were about to come in, the people outside had to look at what was in the bags. I don't let others open it anyway. If it is opened, it will be difficult to restore it to the original state. The bag contains a parachute, which is sealed by the little boy and the little lady.
After some inquiries, the two of them came in with the assurances of the two and Gao Lishi quietly arranging someone to talk.
"You two belong to the No. 0 seedling protection team?" Li Longji asked knowingly, and looked at the bags carried by the two of them.
"In response to your majesty, it is the member of Zhang's seedling protection team zero. These three bags contain the parachutes that the little son and the little lady personally supervised and sealed by themselves. Basically, there is no big problem. If your majesty wants to God, I can follow your majesty together, but your majesty must carry this parachute on his body first."
This time, Huzi brought another person, and Huzi should be responsible. Hearing Li Longji's question, he answered respectfully.
"Oh, why didn't you just use it for others?" When Li Longji heard that it was something Xiaobao and Juanjuan had made specially, he knew it was for himself, but he was a little dissatisfied.
"Your Majesty, this thing requires training, otherwise it may not be available for others to use it at critical moments. The two of me have not come in yet, otherwise one person will bring another person up, and I have tried it in a place with water. It’s very easy to use, and the hot air balloon has been there many times."
Huzi continued to answer. He was stopped just now. There was no way. In fact, he had already received a letter from the little boy when he came. He brought five parachutes, but they didn't need them. This time, only the emperor could use them, so he brought three in.
Li Long was basically hungry, but he was still anxious to go to the sky, so they had to carry something called a parachute on each of them, and ride the hot air balloon that hadn't collapsed to see the sky.
The two of Huzi are not afraid at all. They have done this kind of thing several times. They skillfully enter the basket, and as the hot air balloon rises, they throw the sandbags down one by one, waiting for the sandbags to disappear. Ascended all the way very quickly, and soon the rope was not long enough, and the height of the two people reached 120 feet.
After making a concealment, the two came down again. This time Li Longji couldn't help it. He had to go up in person, and the parachute was also carried.
Gao Lishi also wanted to go up, let someone run a few steps quickly, took the two parachutes that the two hadn't brought in, and said that he went up first, and if nothing happened, the emperor would go up again.
Zhang said that he didn't agree with Li Longji to go up and found various reasons to persuade him.
Li Longji was annoyed, as long as he ordered Zhang to go up, he would simply eat something below, and Gao Lishi also followed suit.
Tossing back and forth again, Gao said that he did not think it was dangerous. When he was on the top just now, he was just a little scared. After a while, he got used to it. A large area was paved, and after persuading a few words to no avail, Li Longji was allowed to sit in the basket.
The two of Huzi became tense now. They were also worried that something might happen. They took Li Longji and slowly rose up. They just flew up to a height of ten meters, when a group of ministers suddenly broke in from the courtyard, they had not yet come close. They began to persuade, some even pulled the rope.
