Body 878 The Emperor's Depression
If today's Datang, including the surrounding foreign states, is like a "patient" lying on the platform of the earth, undergoing surgery out of the original historical trajectory, then this chief surgeon is naturally none other than Li Hong, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Taiyi City first underwent earth-shaking changes, although most of the reasons were because of passivity, although the main reason for active change made the Tang Emperor anxious, but after patience and careful combing, the entire Datang City began to be the first experimental guinea pig by Taiyi City, radiating the second reform to the periphery.
Emperor Li Zhi, who was popular with someone, has liked the most in the past few years is often in Xingqing Palace, surrounded by a group of trembling palace maids and eunuchs, shouting at the loser and unfilial son in the Daming Palace, and even ignoring the obstruction of the Empress Dowager Wu Mei from time to time, he personally gave a chapter to the Tang Emperor.
There is nothing specific in the content of the recital, it is just a scolding that splits the head and covers the face.
So every time someone receives a piece from Xingqing Palace, the moment they open it, they will reflexively tilt their head to the side, for fear that the words in the piece will be slapped in the face.
A pair of railroad tracks from Chang'an to Luoyang cost a large sum of money from the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry, and it took a full five years to pave it.
Just when someone happily invited the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, and led the ministers to the huge house next to the railroad tracks, ready to show them the fast steel monsters that could run without being pulled by livestock and emitting green smoke, the long monster lay on the rails and couldn't move.
Li Zhi even thought for a while that he didn't feed the forage, so he made this guy lose his temper?
Facing the cool words of the Emperor Taishang who was following behind his buttocks and behind a group of technicians led by Li Dan, the Tang Emperor looked back speechlessly at the vicissitudes of life with his hands behind his back and a curious face, and could only say helplessly: "Why don't you go in first to accompany your mother?" Wait until the retainers are ready, and then invite you over? ”
"Forget it? If you can run fast without using a horse, and you can carry dozens of times more weight than a horse-drawn carriage, I see, it is you, the emperor, who do not do your job properly, and play up some strange tricks to deceive the people of the world, I will not believe it. Li Zhi kicked Li Dan's ass not far in front of him, drilling in the crack between the big steel guys, motioning for him to get out of the way, and see for himself what this guy was stabbing with an iron rod in his hand.
"You don't understand, and you don't know what Li Dan is doing......
"I don't understand, you know? You know you're getting started, huh? You let it run happily, pull me and your mother, and arrive in Luoyang in less than half a day? Li Zhi's face was straightforward, in his opinion, the tall and large iron cabinet like an iron dragon in front of him was obviously made by his eighth prince Li Dan, and it had nothing to do with the Tang Emperor.
Li Hong, who was choked by Father Long and didn't know what to say, nodded speechlessly, too lazy to compete with Li Zhi, a layman, after all, now that he is completely alone, he can't cause trouble for himself anymore.
A series of accidents in the past few years have long pushed him to the forefront, and the old couple of Xingqing Palace were the first to attack themselves, and with the occurrence of accidents, even the courtiers in the court began to tremble their livers and tremble their beards to ask him to be steady for a while.
In the eyes of the Emperor Taishang and the Empress Dowager of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the conservative courtiers and virtuous Confucians, the railroad tracks are like city walls, which are considered to have become barriers across the earth, and at the same time have damaged the fertile land and the food and clothing of the people.
In their opinion, this road of railroad tracks, planted lonely into the loess land, not only encroached on the fertile land, but also brought uncertain factors and various ominous factors to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the fate of the country.
"The railroad tracks on land can't pull the car you spent a lot of money to build, and your ship that can move automatically without sails and oars in the Qujiang Pond is still lying on its stomach and unable to move, like a dead dog, you have been tossing these things out for the past few years, which one gives you a long face?" Wu Mei's fluttering voice came over like a hammer behind Li Hong's head.
With the support of the palace maid, Wu Mei, who was graceful and luxurious and had a thousand manners, slowly walked to the side, looked at the iron bump like a long dragon in front of her, and sighed helplessly.
Now that Li Hong has been on the throne as the emperor for several years, although it is said that the court is stable, the world is rich, and the people are also living and working in peace and contentment, but in the past two years, it is obvious that this rabbit cub has not put his mind on the court, and has encouraged Li Dan to drum up some myths and stories every day.
Just like the boat floating in the Qujiang Pond like a dead dog, it is said that it can sail on the surface of the water without manpower and animal power under the rumbling sound and the green smoke.
Such a big talk, every time he went to Xingqing Palace to visit himself and His Majesty, he would say it again, but these years have passed, and the ships on the surface of the Qujiang Pond are still floating like dead dogs and unable to move, and every day is tinkered with by some craftsmen in Taiyi City who are there day and night, just like all the scenes in front of him.
"Technology...... Technical problems, technical problems, these are all technical problems, as long as the sons go back, and allocate some funds to them, it is estimated that they will be completely improved within a year or two, and they can be completely made to run automatically. Li Hong scratched his head in embarrassment, he really wanted to kick the uncompetitive Li Dan, but fortunately, his dragon father had already helped him kick again.
are already in their thirties, and now they are being reprimanded by the dragon father and the dragon mother in front of their harem concubines like Li Ye, Li Hong can only sigh in his heart, the emperor is probably the first one to be like himself.
"Brother Huang...... Brother Huang ....... ”
"Here, what's the twitter called?" After Li Hong heard Li Lingyue's anxious voice, his heart tightened again, couldn't it be another moth?
There have been many accidents in the past two years, Bai Chun has been scolded by himself and cried several times, and now Li Lingyue is running over in a hurry, is there something wrong again?
"Take a look...... Look at the ...... in the sky. Li Lingyue and Shangguan Wan'er, who has now married into the East Palace and become the imperial concubine, have always been inseparable, and the two daughters have worked together to help Li Hong extinguish the fire everywhere in the past two years.
"I'll ...... Who approved this? Li Hong looked up in the direction of Shangguan Wan'er's finger, and instantly felt like it was dark in front of him, and he almost fainted angrily.
At this time, I saw that in the originally clear sky, two huge white hot air balloons seemed to be entangled together because of the hot air currents in the sky, which were okay, and they did not make Li Hong frightened.
On top of that, two huge hot air balloons were fighting in the air while sparks were sparkling from above, apparently one of the engines had a problem and set the balloon on fire.
"Li Dan! Who let this do it? Li Hong ignored Shangguan Wan'er's pull, walked up to Li Dan angrily, looked at Li Dan whose face was covered with black oil, and roared: "Don't you think I'm living a stable life now?" Didn't the last time I killed ten students from the National Prison, tell you that you must not fly again until the problem is completely solved? Why did it go up again? ”
"This ...... Li Zhe's thing, right? These days, he said that he wanted to try to use a hot air balloon to transport troops, as the so-called soldiers are fast, if you can descend from the sky, then it will be much easier to go to Anxi and continue to add variables to the chaos of the Great Food Country, so I guess this time it was he who got the hot air balloon, I told him before I came, and it is not very stable ....... ”
"Don't stop me." Li Hong grabbed Shangguan Wan'er's little hand next to him with a worried face, and then pulled him onto the platform, dodging his cold-faced Dragon Mother, and shouted directly: "Let Li Zhe roll over to me immediately!" ”
"Ah......h
"Oh my God......."
As soon as Li Hong's words fell, he heard Shangguan Wan'er, who was holding his arm, and Long Ma, who was not far away, looking at the direction of the sky and involuntarily screaming.
Hurriedly looked up at the air, only to see two hot air balloons like short-term kites, in the raging fire began to fall down like arrows from the string, and from time to time you can see a black shadow thrown out of the hot air balloon, screaming in the air, falling to the ground with teeth and claws.
"How many times has this been the case? Li Zhe, you little bastard, in order to transport soldiers, you are crazy, this thing has not been done yet, you dare to carry so many people to the sky at will. Li Hong muttered.
Shangguan Wan'er on the side, since entering the Daming Palace, has put all her thoughts on Li Hong's body, and now looking at her husband, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, once again because of this dangerous and ominous hot air balloon, she has begun to think quickly in her little mind, the next issue of "The World", should this kind of royal family-related accident be concealed again?
Looking at the melancholy on Shangguan Wan'er's face, on her white and delicate cheeks, her long eyelashes seemed to be a little worried, her red cherry lips were bitten by a row of neat white teeth, and her beautiful eyes were full of melancholy.
"Don't worry, you can write how you want, this thing didn't happen on the ground, there are fewer people who see it, this happens in the sky, it is estimated that people within a radius of dozens of miles can see it clearly." Li Hong hugged Shangguan Wan'er's slender waist, tightened it into his arms, and comforted him softly.
Because, he saw that the dragon mother was blushing, and the dragon father under the platform was walking towards him angrily!
"This ...... In this matter, you two also heard Li Dan say just now, this is the result of Li Zhe's private order, and the father and mother really have nothing to do with the sons. ”
"And if you don't give him so much power? Can he do it? Li Zhiqi's already sparse beard was curled.
"I ...... Guozijian has always been Li Dan in charge of ....... ”
"Isn't Li Dan's duty given by you?" Wu Mei has not used a feather duster on Li Hong for many years, but now it has become like a crutch, although she doesn't use it, she definitely always carries it with her.
“……。” Li Hong.
There is no word for the crime that you want to add, Li Dan is not in charge of the Guozijian at the beginning, and Li Zhe is not the first time to be in charge of the logistics of the military department.
But in the face of the dragon father and dragon mother who love the people like children, someone had to lower his head, and at the first train station in the future of Datang, in front of the ministers and Shangguan Wan'er and others, he was reprimanded by the emperor and the queen mother, three days apart.
