Chapter 292: It's not just a game

The two little eunuchs were afraid, and the people below were also nervous, worried that the hot air balloon would suddenly fall from the sky, and it would not be as nervous as the two dead.

Li Longji thought like this, he didn't care about the life or death of the two eunuchs, but he was afraid that hope would turn into disappointment again, so that he didn't know when the next test would have to wait, and at the same time, if he wanted to go up in the future, the ministers would definitely stop it, because there was danger.

The two little eunuchs raised their voices, and one of them said to the other, "If I fall, then you are above me, and perhaps with my cushion, you can still survive." ”

"Don't say it, I didn't think about falling, and I can't live even if I fall, turn the fire down, don't throw sandbags, Master Gao said, the current sandbags are not used to adjust the height, as long as the fire is big, the hot air balloon can continue to rise, and the bottom is fixed with people at the beginning, and the sandbags are specially used to escape.

If you suddenly fall down, then throw all the sandbags down, maybe the speed of the fall can be slower, and let's not jump out of the basket, there is a mat specially made by Zhang Wang and the two families under the basket, which can reduce the strength of the fall, how high can it be now? ”

The other little eunuch didn't let the previous eunuch say that he didn't want to talk nonsense when there was no accident above, and it turned out that something was wrong.

The people below have begun to protect Li Longji, so as not to fall from above and hit the emperor, the rope is not too thick, but it is very strong, and there is still a long time to be released, and the hot air balloon is flying higher and higher, and now it is estimated that it can be fifteen zhang, and it continues to fly upward.

"Lux, it seems that hot air balloons can indeed take people flying, even if something happens this time, it doesn't mean that the hot air balloon is wrong."

Li Longji opened his mouth and 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 say this, because of failure, Xiaobao and Juan Juan do not have much responsibility, after all, they really led people to fly, and the reason for the failure can be attributed to the bad work of the people above.

So he replied: "Your Majesty, then you can't go up right away, if you succeed, you have to wait for a few more tests, and the instructions say that if you want to go up, you must be accompanied, and the hot air balloon is accompanied by two people from the Zhang family's Miao Zero team, they can try their best to ensure Your Majesty's safety." ”

Li Longji nodded, let people bring clairvoyance, looking up from the bottom, he really wanted to fly up to see it himself, but he knew that it was impossible.

When he spoke, the hot air balloon had risen to a height of more than 30 zhang, and the height was measured directly, but it could not be measured, but there was the length of the rope, and at intervals of distance, there was a number written on the rope, so that people knew how long it was released.

The two little eunuchs are not as scared to death as they were just now, but they are like this, so they will accept their fate, and when they rise to this distance, the two of them will adjust the size of the fire little by little, and also look down with clairvoyance, so as to match Li Longji.

Li Longji saw the people above looking down, and waved his hand happily to show encouragement, which made the two little eunuchs excited, took out the dragon flag from the basket, hung it, and waved his hand downward.

"Your Majesty, it seems to be done, as long as they come down safely and fly a few more times, Your Majesty may also go up to have a look, but you have to bring the two people sent by the Zhang family to wait outside the palace."

Colliers said happily.

"yes, there's two more people waiting outside, let them come in and have a look." After Gao Lishi said it, Li Longji thought that there were still people outside, it was the most powerful guard of the Zhang family, who came on behalf of the Zhang family, and he couldn't be too lazy, so he hurriedly asked people to shout.

In fact, there is no need to come in at all, at this time, the two people outside have already seen it, the hot air balloon is not small, and it flies so high, not only the two of them saw it, but other people who occasionally looked at the sky also saw it, a big guy was floating above the Xingxing Palace, and I don't know what it was? Like Kong Ming lantern, I think it's very different.

The people in the palace were the first to know, and as soon as someone said it, other people immediately raised their heads and looked at the sky to see what was flying above the Xingqing Palace, and the people outside the palace also stopped one after another, trying to figure out the reason.

Soon, someone reported this matter to the ministers, and the ministers also stood outside, looking up in the direction of Xingqing Palace, the result was that there were more and more people, the people around the palace did not move, the traffic was also blocked, some people were far away, and they couldn't see clearly, so they squeezed forward, and after squeezing for a while, they found that even if they squeezed forward for dozens of steps, it seemed that the things in the sky were still so big.

Zhang said that he was staying in Zhongshuling at this time, and he heard that someone came to report, took out the clairvoyance, stood outside to look, and now he saw it clearly, it turned out to be a big guy hanging a basket underneath, and there were dragon flags flying on the basket, and two little eunuchs poked out their heads and waved back and forth.

As soon as he saw this scene, Zhang Shuo couldn't take care of his business, and hurriedly trotted towards Xingqing Palace, he now somewhat understood that the emperor who had to ride around was too far to walk, if he had a bicycle now, it would be much easier.

When Zhang Shuo came to Xingqing Palace and saw the emperor standing there under protection, he was relieved, he was really worried that the emperor was sitting in the basket just now.

"Zhang Qing is here? Quick, come over here and take a look. Seeing Zhang coming, Li Longji beckoned to him as he spoke.

Zhang said that he didn't have the happy look of others at all, so he nervously came to Li Longji's approach and persuaded: "Your Majesty, can you not look for this thing, who sent it?" There are still people on top, and if they fall, whether it is the people above or the people below, they are in danger? The minister impeached the person who sent this plaything over. ”

Zhang said that he made a gesture to protect Li Longji, with a calm face, and it seemed that he was ready to find trouble.

Gao Lishi stopped doing it when he heard it, how could his son and daughter-in-law make things that he had managed to make so unbearable? And impeachment? Well, now it can be impeached, and both babies have official bodies.

But that's absolutely impossible, so he retorted: "Lord Zhang's words are wrong, how can he be a plaything?" This is a matter of life and death, in the marching formation, you can see the things below clearly, if you can fly to the head of the enemy general, throw down the grenade used by the juan in battle, what is the consequence of Lord Zhang? ”

Zhang said that he was stunned by Gao Lishi's question, and pondered carefully, it is indeed right, if this thing flies to the enemy's head, let alone throwing grenades down, even throwing stones can kill people, if there is a fly on the palace, with a large bag of **, take advantage of the moment the emperor comes from the palace, ignite and throw it down, then the Tang Dynasty will be over.

What Gao Lishi said was written in Zhang Xiaobao's letter, when any kind of thing is invented, it is usually used in the military, and the same is true for hot air balloons.

Li Longji really didn't expect that all he was thinking about just now was to be able to go to a higher place to take a good look at the capital, and when he heard Gao Lishi's words, he took a deep breath and said:

"No wonder Xiaobao and Juan Juan want people to make hot air balloons, it turns out that it is easy to use during war, if this is to match Juan Juan's troops with dozens of hot air balloons, with grenades on top and a light horse below, who can beat her? It's been very powerful in the past, can Zhang Qing understand? ”

Zhang Shuo nodded, indicating that he was clear, and at the same time suppressed the idea of impeachment, just now he was too anxious, and he didn't ask who sent the things over, and now he thought that he was really ill-thought about just now, except for Zhang and Wang, no one has such the ability to make something that takes people to the sky.

Xiaobao and Juan Juan can't be impeached, not to mention that now it's clear that it's not for fun, it's for marching and fighting, it's a major matter, and it can't be taken lightly.

But he saw the rope below again, and found that something was wrong, and asked, "Your Majesty, can it really be used for war?" But it still needs to be tethered with a rope underneath, and once there is no rope, who knows where this hot air balloon will fly? And how to run above the enemy? ”

Li Longji could answer him at this point, took out the manual, handed it to Zhang Shuo's hand, and said to him: "This thing has not been fully completed, and another power system has not been installed, and after installation, it can be moved at will when the wind in the sky is not too great." ”

"Yes, I understand." Zhang said that he couldn't say anything else, since it was something researched by Zhang and Wang, it should be able to think of this, and the research of the two of them is phased, a little bit of improvement, this is to take it over to make the emperor happy first.

"Your Majesty, this thing is too lethal, is it not allowed to be made by the Zhang and Wang families in the future? It is entrusted to the Ministry of War, and there should be someone there who can cooperate. ”

Zhang said that thinking of the things that flashed in his heart just now, he was afraid that if one day he couldn't control the Zhang and Wang families, they would be in trouble if they used a hot air balloon to blow up the palace with **.

Gao Lishi was not satisfied, and said on the side: "Lord Zhang, if you don't let the Zhang and Wang families make hot air balloons, will they not have to take out better things in the future?" How can you improve and make things better if you don't do it? Counting on the military department? Counting on the Armament Superintendent? They really have that ability, and today it won't be Zhang Wang's family to send hot air balloons. ”

Zhang said that he knew why Gao Lishi refuted him, and of course he was not satisfied with the affairs of his son's family, but he still insisted on asking: "Then if the two of them want to be unfavorable to Your Majesty......

"Zhang Qing can't say that, if Xiaobao and Juan Juan want to be unfavorable 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 chill Xiaobao and Juan Juan's heart to kill the enemy desperately in Tubo? To be honest, I've always felt that there are many ways for them to do my good. ”

Li Longji said to Zhang, and he really thought so in his heart, because he couldn't guess what the Zhang and Wang families would do, especially the poisonous needle on the belt, which was too hidden, if no one could believe it, a minister would be able to clean himself up when he went to court.

What Zhang and Wang did was put on the surface, and they didn't hide it at all, not to mention that Wang Qiao'er's father was also protecting himself at the beginning, and it was impossible to do it to himself, plus someone was still watching over there, if too many precautions were taken in this matter, then who else could believe it?

The leader of the Golden Guard? Ge Fushun of ten thousand horses? And the Colliers around you? If you can't believe it, can you let yourself do everything alone?

Thinking of this, Li Longji said to Zhang again: "When Zhang Qing came in just now, but no one searched him, if Zhang Qing brought something on him, should I also be worried?" ”

"The minister doesn't dare, the minister is loyal to His Majesty, and he will never do such a thing, if the emperor can't trust the minister, the minister will die in front of the emperor."

Zhang Shuo was frightened, he couldn't just talk about it, and the sweat immediately broke out.

After saying this, he stopped making a sound, and stood aside honestly, looking at the hot air balloon that was still flying in the sky, he knew that if he said more, it would mean that the Zhang and Wang families were not credible, and they were loyal to the emperor, could it be that others were disloyal?

Gao Lishi didn't speak next to him, but he was very dissatisfied with Zhang said that the relationship was not bad, but he actually slandered his son and daughter-in-law.

Everyone was silent for a moment, and then the rope pulling the hot air balloon was blown by the wind and made a slight noise, and the two eunuchs on it had risen to a height of fifty zhang, and even if they looked down with clairvoyance, they were not as clear as they were just now.

The two of them discussed, took out a larger dragon flag in the basket, unfolded it and hung it on the edge of the basket, the flag was blown by the wind, and it opened with a bang, moving against the wind.

As soon as this flag came out, there was a cheer in the palace, and the people outside the palace who could see the pattern on the flag were also excited, the dragon flag of Datang floated up, high in the sky, in addition to Datang, what other country can do it?

People from other countries saw such a big flag floating in the sky, and they couldn't tell what it was like in their hearts, especially the fine work that Tubo left in Datang, after seeing this flag and the things that could fly to the sky, they felt that it was impossible for their country to catch up with Datang for a while.

They weren't all fools, and they knew there was someone on it when they saw the flag that suddenly came up, but they couldn't see the rope they were pulling, thinking that the thing was floating in the sky by itself, and that it could release people on it.

According to the news I got from Tibet, the Demon Cuckoo has a weapon, which is much more powerful than fireworks, and can kill people.

Li Longji heard a 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 will have no worries about the Tang Dynasty." ”

Zhang Shuo and Gao Lishi both know the meaning of this sentence, not that there is a hot air balloon that is good at war, it is worry-free, but that there are two families of Zhang Wang, and things are made by others, from the time when they were in Sanshui County, Zhang Wang's two families have been constantly making things and taking them out, useful in the water, useful in weapons, and now there are flying in the sky.

In addition, Xiaobao and Juan Juan, who have learned a lot of skills from masters, are still young, and they can live for a long time, and they are Yunwen Yunwu, as long as they are there, they don't have to worry about suddenly having something that they can't deal with.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Gao Lishi is also for the sake of the country in his heart, and he is also loyal to Li Longji, and after listening to Li Longji's words, he said softly and happily.

Zhang Shuo also agreed, although he was very uncomfortable in his heart, and finally got to the position of prime minister, suppressed all the people who should be suppressed, and brought the power into his hands, but the appearance of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan made him find that he couldn't use all the power at all.

At least not for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, others have to listen to the orders they issued, but the two of them dare not listen, and there is no way to take the two of them.

I can't say that I have experience in the border army and I am better than Wang Juan, and others have proved it with corpses and blood.

In terms of administrative orders, Zhang Xiaobao can also not listen to them, because people are very proficient in the economy, and they can find 10,000 reasons to refute themselves, and the power is obviously affected.

Li Longji didn't know what Zhang Shuo was thinking, what he was thinking about most now was why he didn't leave Xiaobao and Juan Juan in the capital to do things in the first place? Then you can see it at any time now, and it must be nice to look at the hot air balloon sent by two people's homes, and then eat the food cooked by two people, and listen to what two people say.

With regret in his heart, Li Longji didn't want to continue to watch the hot air balloon fly like that, and said to the people next to him: "Let them come down, don't use the rope to make a lot of effort first, and see if the hot air balloon can slowly lower on its own." ”

The people below immediately began to convey orders to the two eunuchs above, waving a large flag back and forth so that the two people above could see it.

At this time, the two little eunuchs really didn't want to go down immediately, after they found that there was no danger, they enjoyed the feeling of flying in the sky very much, looking at the scenery of the capital with clairvoyance, and feeling the coolness of the wind, it was really comfortable.

Seeing the flag below, I had to suppress such thoughts 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 this will be the opportunity for a lifetime.

Putting the fire down little by little, feeling the slow speed of the decline, the two of them looked at the surrounding scenery as much as possible, so that they could wait to return to the ground and talk to others, and they couldn't ask three questions.

When I came down, it took a lot less time than when I went up, and for about a quarter of an hour, the hot air balloon slowly fell on it, and the cloth on it directly covered the two little eunuchs.

"How's it going to be on it?" Get the two little eunuchs out, Li Longji asked urgently.

"Back to Your Majesty, the wind is a little strong above, but I am happy in my heart, especially when the flag is floating, we all feel that this is the happiest time, and also, it is a little shaking on it, and there is nothing else, at the beginning, the two of us were scared to death, and when we really stayed in the sky for a long time, we found that it was like that, and it was fine."

The little eunuch hurriedly replied, his excited little face flushed, and after he left, he could tell others about it.

At this time, two people from the zero seedling team also walked in from the outside, two people dressed in tight clothes, and carried three big bags in their hands, when they were about to come in just now, the people outside had to see what was in the bag, and the two people did not let others open it anyway, if it was opened, it would be difficult to restore the original appearance, the bag was filled with a parachute, and the little boy and the little lady sealed it personally.

After some inquiry, and under the assurance of the two people, and Gao Lishi quietly arranged for someone to speak, the two came in.

"You two are from Team Zero?" Li Longji asked knowingly, and his eyes also looked at the bags carried by the two people.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, it is the person of the Zhang family's seedling protection team No. 0, these three bags contain the parachutes that the little boy and the little lady personally supervised and sealed by themselves, basically there is no big problem, if Your Majesty wants to go to heaven, the two of us can follow Your Majesty together, but Your Majesty has to carry this parachute on your back first."

This time it was Huzi who brought another person, and Huzi should be responsible, and when he heard Li Longji's question, he replied respectfully.

"Oh, why don't you give it to someone else?" As soon as Li Longji heard that it was something that Xiaobao and Juan Juan asked him to make, he knew that it was prepared for himself, but he was a little dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, this thing needs to be trained to use, otherwise it may not be able to be used by others at critical moments, the two of us haven't come in yet, otherwise one person can take the other person up, the two of us have tried it in a place where there is water, it is very useful, and the hot air balloon has been up many times."

Huzi continued to answer, he was stopped just now, there is no way, in fact, when he came, he had already received a letter from the little prince and brought five parachutes, but he didn't need it, this time it should only be used by the emperor, so he brought three in.

Li Long was basically hungry, but he was still in a hurry to go to the sky, so he had to let the two of them each carry a thing called a parachute, and take a hot air balloon that had not yet deflated to take a look in the sky.

The two of them were not afraid at all, they had done this kind of thing several times, skillfully entered the basket, as the hot air balloon rose, they threw down the sandbags one by one, waiting for none of the sandbags to be gone, and the speed went all the way up very fast, and soon the rope was not long enough, and the height of the two people also reached one hundred and twenty zhang.

After some cover-up, the two came down again, and this time Li Longji couldn't help it, so he had to go up in person, and the parachute was also carried on his back.

Gao Lishi also wanted to go up, so he asked people to run a few steps quickly, and brought over the two parachutes that the two people did not bring in, saying that he would go up first, and the emperor would go up again if he was fine.

Zhang said that he didn't agree with Li Longji to go up, and found all kinds of reasons to persuade him.

Li Longji was annoyed, as long as he ordered Zhang to go up, he simply ate something below, and Gao Lishi also followed.

Tossing back and forth, Gao said that he felt that there was indeed no danger, he was just a little scared when he was on it just now, but after a while, he got used to it, and thought that there was another means, so that people could find a lot of bedding and lay a large area below, and then after persuading a few words to no avail, let Li Longji sit in the basket.

The two of them became nervous at this time, they were also worried that something would happen, so they took Li Longji to slowly rise upward, and just flew to a height of ten zhang, when a group of ministers suddenly broke in from outside the courtyard, and before they got close, they began to persuade them, and some even wanted to pull the rope.
