Chapter 412: Wayward Li Tai
Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info last year's beautiful and cool memories in Jiucheng Palace have been haunting Li Shimin's mind, so as soon as the weather is hot this year, he impatiently dragged his family to Jiucheng Palace.
When the emperor left Beijing, not only his wife and children were taken away, but even the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty followed the younger half. However, most of them remained in Chang'an, so Li Chengqian, who was forced to do so, was once again left behind to supervise the country.
With last year's prison of the country, and coming back this year, Li Chengqian is very proficient. Dealing with the government is in good order, and there is already the demeanor of a prince and a future emperor.
In general, Li Chengqian can make his own decisions, and only some matters that are important or difficult to decide will be sent to Jiucheng Palace for the emperor to deal with personally.
The emperor is not in Chang'an, it is cool, this is the same as the teacher is not in the classroom, and the students are all out of the wind.
Wu Yuanqing is like this, he used to pretend to sign in to the unit to show up, but now he just doesn't go, and he has returned to the vacation mode of sleeping until three o'clock in the day before getting up.
When you wake up, you either stay at home as a dead house, or you pull your wife, younger brothers and sisters, and play around.
Today I went fishing in the Bahe River, and tomorrow I went boating in Weishui, or I took the song and dance troupe at home and ran to the Furong Garden, the bank of the Qujiang River, to have an audio-visual feast of singing and singing.
If there is something in the yamen, Wang Xuance and Zhao Heng's two confidants and friends will help deal with it, anyway, Wu Yuanqing has full authority, at most, Wang Xuance and Zhao Heng have made a solution and signed it for him.
Life is like this, and only then can you be worthy of the four-character comment of the gentleman.
Li Tai didn't follow him to Jiucheng Palace, and he has been busy making his hot air balloon in the palace. It was finally done five days ago, but this time he didn't dare to go into battle to test the flight himself, but let a waiter who had been a hot air balloon with him for the longest time fly it.
The flight was a success, and after taking off from the palace, it flew out of Chang'an and landed safely in a field twenty miles away from Chang'an.
It's just that because the wind can only blow away, the operator can't control the flight direction of the hot air balloon, so Li Tai feels that it is not perfect.
Wu Yuanqing told him that the altitude is different, the airflow is also different, the airflow is different, the direction of the wind is different, by controlling the hot air balloon to rise and fall to reach different heights, the direction of the air flow at this height can be controlled by using the direction of the air flow at this height.
As a result, Li Tai said that it was too passive, and he wanted to make something that could control the direction.
Wu Yuanqing thought that he would make something like a sail on a hot air balloon, although he didn't know how to get such a thing on a hot air balloon, but all he could think of was this.
Unexpectedly, five days later, Li Tai really made it, but it was not the sail he thought it was, but the hand-cranked propeller.
It is to install a fan on each side of the gondola, and then choose to shake the corresponding fan according to the direction to control the flight.
"I'll go, you're going to be the one who is going to tire it out." Looking at the fans installed on all four sides that were not very big, Wu Yuanqing said speechlessly.
"Hehe, I don't ask for how fast, it's just an auxiliary when the wind is not right, and I'm not in a hurry to fly slowly." Li Tai said with a grin.
"Look at your posture, are you ready to go out in person again?" Wu Yuanqing asked.
"Hey, hey" Now Li Taiguang stopped laughing and didn't speak.
So Wu Yuanqing knew that the little fat man was healed, the scar forgot the pain, and he was going to do it again. However, he also saw that the flight a few days ago was indeed safe, Li Tai should have no problem taking off this time, the key is that now the emperor and queen are not there, no one can control Li Tai, even if Wu Yuanqing stops it now, who knows if this kid will secretly fly at another time, it is better to watch him fly with his own eyes now. The province now prevents fear later.
Besides, Li Tai also got a simple parachute to carry on his back, and the safety guarantee is an extra layer.
This hot air balloon is different from the previous large Kong Ming lantern. The current one is basically the same as the hot air balloons that Wu Yuanqing has seen in later generations.
It is an open airbag that is blown up and suspended by a blower, and then ignited by a flamethrower to heat the air.
Everything is ready, the huge hot air balloon is already filled with hot air, and the strong buoyancy begins to violently pull the ropes that pull the hot air balloon.
A few attendants untied the fixed ropes one by one, and then the hot air balloon slowly rose into the air under the gaze of everyone.
When Li Tai was promoted to more than 20 zhang, Li Chengqian, the prince of the prison who had been concealed before, and had just gotten the news, rushed over.
"Qingque, you come down for me." Li Chengqian hurriedly shouted to the sky.
"I don't, I'm going to Jiucheng Palace to find my father and queen mother." Li Tai waved his hand and shouted.
"I'm sorry, this kid didn't tell me he was going to fly so far." Looking at Li Chengqian, who was glaring at him, Wu Yuanqing hurriedly waved his hand to explain.
He thought that Li Tai was flying in the sky around Chang'an, how could he have thought that this dead child was going to Jiucheng Palace, this Nima, you must know that this is the case, Wu Yuanqing will be stopped from flying this trip, at least, he can't fly this trip in front of him.
Jiucheng Palace, it's not far from there. But there are more than 300 miles, and no one knows if the oil in the oil storage tank can support the hot air balloon to fly so far. What if you run out of gas on the way and land in the deep mountains and old forests and are eaten by wild beasts.
Damn, you dead fat man, Wu Yuanqing wailed in his heart.
"What now?" Looking at the hot air balloon that had drifted away and Li Tai on it, Li Chengqian asked without a master.
"What can I do, hurry up and chase it." Wu Yuanqing choked.
"Yes, yes, chase, I'll send someone to chase, no, I'll personally lead someone to chase." Li Chengqian said incoherently.
"Don't, there's already a work done here, don't make trouble with it, I'll take someone to chase it." Wu Yuanqing stretched out his hand to stop Li Chengqian and said.
"Do you know that King Wei is going to Jiucheng Palace? Did he prepare something to eat, drink, or anything like that?" Looking at the palace maid who was trembling with fright, Wu Yuanqing asked with a headache.
"No, I don't know, slaves and maids don't know, Your Highness didn't tell us." A young palace maid replied tremblingly.
"His Royal Highness asked the villain to prepare a bag of pastries and two skins of water, but the villain really didn't know that His Highness was going to Jiucheng Palace." Li Tai's personal attendant also spoke.
Well, this Nima was a completely premeditated operation, not a whim.
"Hear it, Qingque has already prepared, you don't have to worry about going back to do your business, just leave the matter of chasing him to me, just by the way, I can take your sister and them to the fiefdom to play for two days."
