Since it is not a monster, and there is no danger to people, there is no need to be honest and fearful, so under the command of Li Shimin, a famous monarch, the crowd that came to guard, visit, and join in the excitement for various purposes was beaten down by him, so when Liu Yiyi rushed to the Taiji Hall from home with Li Ran, the head of the inner chamberlain, there were not many people in the entire hall.

Tao Yande, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Su Bingren, the chief secretary of Nongqing, Gongsun Wude, the general of the Left Prison Gate, and the prince, the king of Han, the eldest grandson queen and the childish slave, the three children stayed on the spot, and saw that Mr. came from outside the palace, and the three little guys were still on Li Shimin's side, holding the Kong Ming lantern in their hands, and made a grimace at Liu Yiyi proudly.

"Xiaomin Liuyi, meet the emperor, the queen!" Dressed in a hand, Liu Yi walked to the middle of the hall, bent down and sat at the end of the hall Li Shimin and the eldest grandson queen saluted, after the salute, and bowed his head, Li Chengqian and Li Yuanchang next to the lower side of the hall and his party bowed slightly.

"This thing, but it came from Mr. Yu?" Straightening his figure, Li Shimin looked down at Liu Yiyi, who was standing under His Royal Highness, pointed to the hot air balloon that had broken several holes on the ground, and asked directly.

"Back to the emperor, it was the small people who did it." bowed down in a proper manner, and Liu Yiyi replied quietly: "I just don't want it to fly to the palace and make the emperor frightened, please forgive the emperor!" ”

"Kong Ming lantern?" Ignoring whether the apology in Liu's words was true, he looked at the broken things on the ground with some uncertainty, and asked softly.

"The emperor's eyes," Liu Yiyi bent over again and replied, patted Li Shimin on the back, and said: "This thing is made by Xiaomin according to the method of Kong Ming lantern, and it is not without mistakes to say that it is a Kong Ming lantern, but because of its huge shape." And the function is somewhat different from the Kong Ming lantern, in order to distinguish, Xiaomin gave it a name, which is for the hot air balloon. {First Reading}"

"Hot air balloons?" A very strange name, some of which are not right, but these are not the point, Li Shimin is quite interested in the function that Liu Yiyi said.

"I don't know where this thing came from. Why? Without ambiguity, Li Shimin directly asked what he wanted in his heart: "Maybe it will fly with people?" ”

"Back to the emperor, theoretically speaking, you can," he took a step forward. gave Li Shimin an affirmative answer, and Liu Yiyi replied: "However, whether it can be implemented or not, how many people can be raised, how many people can be carried, and whether there is a risk of life must be tried by Xiaomin." After all, this thing is also the first time that Xiaomin has made it. ”

So, Mr. Yifan's so-called theories are all conjectures from his own imagination? Whether this hot air balloon can be manned or not is also unknown? "Pick up the criticism in Liu's words. Li Chengqian opened his voice to question. The unbelief in the eyes is evident.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words are not unreasonable," he glanced at Li Chengqian with some surprise, I don't know why this kid would stick a bar here and find his own trouble, Liu Yiyi smiled softly, and bowed to Li Chengqian. "But you have to think before you act." If you don't think about it, how can you know what you can't do? If the small people don't think about it. Today, this hot air balloon will not be able to fly into the sky, what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think? ”

"Your Majesty," he said, smiling at Li Chengqian with a grateful smile, putting aside Li Chengqian's somewhat embarrassed face, Liu Yiyi took out a neat pile of paper from his arms without hurry, handed it to the chamberlain on the side, and bent over and said: "These are some of the drawings and ideas that Xiaomin has been thinking about in the past few days, and some drawings and ideas that have been sorted out and summarized, please take a look at them." ”

"Well, bring it on!" His eyes wandered back and forth between Liu Yiyi and the crown prince, Li Shimin chuckled disapprerovantly and waved his hand, and Li Ran presented the things.

can fly, can carry people, and the function can be seen Li Shimin is overjoyed, but the schematic diagram of the structure written by Liu Yiyi on the paper makes him look a little headache, messy, and I don't know why.

"Tao Aiqing, come and see, how is this thing?" There is a specialization in the art industry, and he can't understand the earth, so Li Shimin directly threw it to the Ministry of Industry in the palace, and said, "Can it be made according to the map?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Took the drawings handed over by Li Ran with both hands, Tao Yande raised his eyes and looked, looking at the lines on the paper, the ditches and frames, and couldn't help but light up in front of him, this kind of drawing method, but, well, novel, rare, compared to the drawings handed over by the lower officials of the Ministry of Industry on weekdays, it is clear, clear, intuitive, and rare. Just looking at the drawings, Tao Yande was able to imagine the real thing written on the map in his breast pocket, and he had done it for so many years in the position of the Ministry of Industry, and Tao Yande encountered this feeling for the first time.

Today's business, I must take someone to Liufu to visit this Mr. Yifan. I don't say whether this hot air balloon can succeed, but it is this intuitive and clear method of new composition that is worthy of all the officials of the Ministry of Industry to seek advice.

"This thing works!" Maybe it's because of the relationship between the drawings, or maybe it's because of the professional recognition of this ingenuity that has never been valued, or maybe it's because it looks more pleasing to the eye of Liu Yiyi, Tao Yande unconsciously also said good things for Liu Yiyi, in front of the emperor, the queen, and the prince and the ministers in the palace, Lao Tao bowed his hand to Liu Yiyi, and said: "To be able to come up with such wonderful things, Mr. Yifan is talented, except for the Sanyuan Liu Shenjiang, Tao is the only one to see!" ”

"Tao Shangshu is serious, and the little people dare not be ashamed!" Taken aback by Lao Tao's sudden salute, Liu Yiyi turned sideways blankly, bowed his hand back, and said: "It's just some strange and obscene paths, it's not worth Tao Shangshu like this." ”

"The trail can also be passed, Liu's plow, Liu's waterwheel, which one is not a trail, but they have brought thousands of conveniences to my Tang people," Lao Tao's expression was a little angry, as if something that had been suppressed for a long time in his heart was finally released, and deliberately praised loudly in front of Li Chengqian, an official who had always underestimated the way of obscenity: "Mr. Yifan's hot air balloon, if it is used properly, will not be inferior to the Liu's plough and Liu's waterwheel." ”

Lao Taodi's old eyes were a little red, and he looked up at Liu Yifan, and a flower was about to be reflected in his eyes, following the three original willows, he finally let him look forward to a genius, if he could pull this wonderful flower to their Ministry of Industry, with a little training, it would be difficult to guarantee that he would not make some earth-shattering things in the future, and when the time comes, look at who else dares to look down on these clever ways

"Tao Aiqing!" Seeing that Tao Yande, the old boy, was a little out of shape, Li Shimin coughed lightly to remind, and said: "According to Aiqing's intentions, what Mr. Liu wrote, can the Ministry of Industry do?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the Ministry of Industry can do it," bending over and arching his hand, Tao Yande turned his head and glanced at Liu Yiyi, and said: "However, since this thing was created by Mr. Yifan, you have to ask Mr. Yifan to give some guidance in person to appear safe. ”

"Master Tao," Hearing Tao Yande's words, Empress Changsun, who had never spoken, couldn't help but interject: "Mr. Yifan is now responsible for teaching the prince, and he has little time on weekdays, so I am afraid that it is a little inappropriate to let Mr. Yifan go to the Ministry of Works to seek work, right?" Moreover, Mr. Yifan is still white, has no fame, and his name is not right, and it is not in line with my Datang official system, right? ”

dared to come to the old lady's side to poach the corner, the eldest grandson queen was rarely angry, and when she spoke, she was somewhat angry. What the queen said was reasonable, "How can such a good talent be allowed to nest in that small place in the Ministry of Industry?" Shaking his head lightly, Li Shimin also rejected Tao Yande's proposal in one bite, and said: "Mr. Liu now has filial piety, and he has never won half of his fame, he can't violate the official system, and it is not appropriate to go to the Ministry of Industry, so this matter should not be discussed again." In the future, if there is any unclear about the ball making, it is necessary to ask for advice in private. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's Weichen who is not thoughtful." After being bombarded by the two bosses of the emperor and the queen, Tao Yande was sluggish again, and also realized that although this Liu Yifan seemed to be a commoner, he had no fame and no power entanglement, but with the protection of the emperor and the queen, it was not that he could pull it if he wanted to.

"However, Your Majesty," pointing to the drawings on the ground, Tao Yande said again: "Mr. Yifan's current book can only make the hot air balloon rise alone, as for the way of carrying people, it seems that it is not said, Weichen is based on the drawings to make the real thing, I am afraid that it is similar to the things in this palace, and the way of lifting and control"

In the end, it was a professional, calm down, and immediately saw the disadvantages of this hot air balloon, well, or rather, Liu Yiyi deliberately set aside the disadvantages of the ground.

"Mr. Liu, Tao Aiqing's words, but there is a solution?" Listening to Tao Yande's crackling narration, Li Shimin couldn't help frowning slightly, raised his eyes to Liu Yiyi, and asked softly. According to Liu Yiyi's previous temperament, he will not take it out so early if he is not sure of something, and now since the hot air balloon still has so many drawbacks, the only explanation is that this kid is clumsy again.

"Back to the Emperor"

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to Mr." Without giving Liu Yiyi a little room to refute, Li Shimin spoke bluntly and said, "I am very optimistic about you!" ”
