Chapter 361: Wonders (2)

The balloon floated slowly towards the Chengtian Gate.

The ministers don't need binoculars to see clearly.

Obviously, there are indeed people up there, and the so-called people can fly, that's what it looks like?

The balloon balloon flew closer and closer, approaching Chengtianmen, and when it was still on Chang'an Street, it was already slowly descending.

The more you look at it, the clearer it becomes, and among the ministers, many people look at the hot air balloon with complicated eyes, and then look at the emperor with complicated eyes. Surrounded by the enthusiastic exclamations of the crowd, the entire city of Beijing was attracted by this rare strangeness.

On the hot air balloon, first threw down two couplets, which should be the scene of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a beautiful woman dressed as a fairy, began to sprinkle petals on it, and the wonder of a goddess scattering flowers was staged, and there were not many people around, but also knelt down and kowtowed, and kept asking God to bless, and the "spectacle" arranged by Yang Reform reached **.

The fairy scattered the petals for a while, and then threw a rope from the hot air balloon, and the people below quickly caught it and fixed it, and the hot air balloon was given here. Then, the dressed "fairy" began to "dance" on it, the "fairy" was dressed in red makeup, and she was also beautiful, dangling on a rope, and kept doing all kinds of difficult movements, which can be described as extremely beautiful, can be described as amazing, and the people below exclaimed again and again.

The "fairy" seemed to suddenly see something, and then fell from the rope "in a daze", and everyone let out a burst of exclamation. Fortunately, when the red-clothed "fairy" was about to fall to the ground, she hooked the rope with her legs, and then turned over beautifully and landed firmly on the ground, and the people around her were screaming in horror

The "fairy's" face changed rapidly a few times, looked at the emperor not far away, and then his face calmed down again, and then he climbed the rope and began to perform more excitingly, and then he didn't look at the emperor's side.

Yang Reform naturally knew who this "fairy" in red was, as for arranging her to do this kind of performance in a hot air balloon, it was purely improvised, seeing that the beauty in red did not look at him, Yang Reform also sighed slightly.

This earth-shattering "spectacle" made the entire capital gather on the central axis of Beijing to see the strangeness, and even more discussed, telling each other about this once-in-a-lifetime spectacle.

It was getting dark, and lanterns were lit around.

A number of ministers gathered together and were arguing fiercely about the matter.

"How could Your Majesty do such a ridiculous thing? Let people fly overhead? Or a woman? Lord Shi, Lord Sun, no matter what, you must persuade Your Majesty, how can this be done? Your Majesty, as the Son of Heaven, is acting on behalf of Heaven, if anyone can go to heaven, and anyone can stand higher than Your Majesty, then where will you put Your Majesty? An old man's minister became more and more anxious as he spoke, and at last he roared hoarsely.

"Yes, Lord Shi, Lord Sun, Lord Zhang, this is definitely trespassing, this must not be spared, how can people go to heaven? ……”

"That is, this is a great disrespect, any cat and dog can go to heaven, so how can Your Majesty rule the world in the future? That woman, must be burned, that monster, must also be burned......"

“…… Your Majesty is not playful...... I don't know what I do, I mess with the etiquette, I break the rules, and I transgress the ......, it's disrespectful, it's disrespectful......"

A group of ministers gathered together and discussed angrily, but Shi Fenglai, Sun Chengzong, and Zhang Ruitu, the cabinet ministers, sat there indifferently, listening to the anger of the ministers.

Zhang Ruitu couldn't stand it anymore, stood up, and said, "Don't quarrel with all your adults, Lord Shi, Lord Sun, why don't I go and persuade Your Majesty now?" See what His Majesty says? Zhang Ruitu can't stand the bombardment of those people, or he is going to communicate with the emperor to see what the emperor means, this matter was originally done by the emperor, it seems that the ministers have quite opinions about the emperor doing this kind of thing, and their cabinet auxiliary ministers are not easy to say anything, on the one hand, the emperor naturally has the emperor's idea to do this, and the fierce opposition of the ministers must be reasonable.

"Okay, Master Sun, what do you see? Why don't we all go and persuade Your Majesty? Shi Fenglai was also confused about today's events, he had never encountered this kind of thing since ancient times, so he always liked to look for countermeasures from books, looking for examples to learn from, he was at a loss, he didn't know what to do, he thought about it, or asked the emperor to go.

Sun Chengzong nodded and said, "Okay, my lords, don't be impatient, I'll go to see Your Majesty later." "Sun Chengzong is also somewhat aware of today's events, but he is not very clear, he just knows that the emperor is studying some new things, and even sent Jinyi Wei. ,

Many of the angry ministers quieted down at this time.

Yang Gengai had already seen the ministers below gathered together, and when he saw several of his cabinets coming, he asked while eating fruit: "Hehe, everyone, what's the matter?" Do you seem to be anxious? What are you talking about? Yang Gengai asked first.

Shi Fenglai thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are talking about Your Majesty's flying man's thing today, thinking that this thing is arrogant, thinking that this thing is disrespectful, and it has some impact on Your Majesty's ruling over the world, and I want to ask Your Majesty to burn that monster......" Shi Fenglai didn't know what to say, and as the first assistant, he "pasted" the words of the ministers once.

"Hahaha......" Yang laughed. Those officials were already staring at the emperor, and when they saw the emperor laughing, they hurriedly lowered their heads and turned their eyes.

"There are birds flying in the sky, why does no one think it is trespassing? What does my reign have to do with this man's heaven? Yang Gengai asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty......, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, who governs the world on behalf of Heaven, if anyone can go to heaven, then Your Majesty ...... Isn't it ......," Shi Fenglai said hesitantly.

"Oh? Hehe, am I the Son of Heaven? God's son? Hehe, I only know that my surname is Zhu, my name is checked, I have been the emperor of the past dynasties, but they are all based on the emperor, and there is no emperor who uses the Son of Heaven as the emperor's name, hehe, this word of the Son of Heaven, hehe, you don't have to care too much, as for arrogance and disrespect, I know, and I also arranged it, I don't think it's ......" Yang Gai said with a smile, but he was scolding in his heart, if Lao Tzu was really the "Son of Heaven", he would not be so aggrieved by those pigs who owe millions of taels of silver in taxes every year, if I were the son of God, The pigs must have been struck with lightning one by one, so as not to get in the way.

"Your Majesty...... This, this is really a trespass...... "Shi Fenglai begged anxiously, he knew his own affairs, his first assistant, was completely the emperor's megaphone, if he wanted to talk to the emperor, he had no confidence at all, he knew that he could be the first assistant, all in the emperor, if the emperor wanted to change people, he had to walk all the time, and he had to argue with the emperor, he had no courage at all, he could only beg.

"Your Majesty, let's leave aside the transgression, but this matter is indeed a blasphemy against Your Majesty, and the reason why Your Majesty ...... is to conform to the ...... of God," Zhang Ruitu continued to persuade.

Yang Gengai waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, you are all my auxiliaries, so I will tell you the true purpose, so that you don't worry too much." Yang Gai looked impatient.

Several auxiliary ministers hurriedly sat down, waiting for the emperor's speech.

"Companion, put down the curtain, I have something to say to a few auxiliary ministers." Yang Gengai first asked Wang Chengen to put the curtain down.

Wang Chengen took the order and let go of the bead curtain used to block the line of sight. All of a sudden, the lines of sight are separated.

"Do you know what I'm doing with this thing?" Yang Gengai was the first to ask.

A few people, you look at me, I look at you, and they all shake their heads.

"You don't see the use of this thing? …… That balloon that can go to the sky and this telescope, what do you think? Yang Reform was inspired again.

Everyone looked at the telescope in front of the emperor's case, this thing is very familiar to everyone, and they have seen it once just now.

“…… There is a poem I don't know if you have heard of it? 'Want to be poor and go to the next level'? This thing can rise to a height of one or two hundred zhang, and then use this telescope to look around, what do you think it will be like? Yang Gengai smiled a little, and then inspired.

Sun Chengzong was the first to understand and said, "What does Your Majesty mean?" Observe the battlefield with this thing? In such a high place, coupled with a clairvoyant mirror, within a radius of dozens of miles, you can see the innocence, what does Your Majesty mean, to use this thing on the battlefield? "Sun Chengzong has a lot of dealings with the military, and he soon understood what the emperor was going to say, in fact, Sun Chengzong had this meaning at the beginning, but he didn't dare to say it, but now the emperor himself said it, he just right, along the stick.

Several other auxiliary ministers looked at Sun Chengzong in surprise, can this thing still be used?

"Yes, Master Sun really has good eyesight, and I think the same, the reason why I want to do this thing, in fact, is inseparable from a shame of my Zhu family, others say, the loss of the past, the teacher of the future, I read the living notes of the emperor, every time I read this paragraph, I feel that my heart and gall are broken, my Ming Emperor will actually give a satisfied prisoner, this is my Zhu family, it is the shame of my Ming, this shame, I must wash away, I will not let this shame repeat, I carefully read the living notes of the year, and found many problems, I thought, If there is a thing on the prairie, which can stand tall, see far, and can clearly see the movements within a radius of dozens of miles, my Emperor Zhu and my Ming Emperor will not be frightened by tens of thousands of barbarians, let alone captured, every time I read this paragraph, I am thinking, I must prevent this kind of thing from happening again in the future, this kind of shame, I must wash away the ......, not to mention, in recent years, the movement of the Eastern Captives is not small, and I am also trying to restrain the cavalry on the grassland...... That's why there is a clairfront mirror, and this kind of hot air balloon, I want to be able to stand higher, I want to be able to see farther, the movement within a radius of dozens of miles, don't think about it...... "When Yang Reform said this, he gritted his teeth and looked like he hated it. ,

Several auxiliary ministers looked at the emperor in a panic, but they didn't expect that the emperor was so vengeful, and he remembered the old things a hundred and ten years ago so clearly, claiming to take revenge.

"Your Majesty, you can't do it, you can't help it, Your Majesty is a body of ten thousand people, how can you get into danger? Your Majesty, you must not drive the personal expedition" Shi Fenglai was almost stunned, listening to the emperor's meaning, he wanted to drive the imperial expedition to Mongolia, and the shame of the change of the civil fort back then, if so, then if there is another change of the civil fort, then who will be the Yu Qian of the year? Frightened, he hurriedly persuaded the emperor.

"It's okay, it's not to take me to conquer in person, in the future, my dynasty is going to have a decisive battle with Mongolia or the Eastern Captives anyway, and it is also necessary to take some precautions in advance to prevent the recurrence of the old things, isn't it? The hatred in my heart, the shame in my heart, must be washed away, I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, this kind of satisfying captivity, I can't swallow this breath no matter what, you think, I'm okay and fun? Yang Reform still said with a look of hatred.

Several auxiliary ministers looked at the emperor in shock, not knowing what to say. Originally, I was looking for the emperor's theory, and I was originally persuading the emperor, but the emperor's current statement turned into their boring, the emperor was thinking about military affairs, thinking about the shame of the Ming Dynasty back then, and several auxiliary ministers looked ashamed.

"Alas, don't mention it, don't mention it, Your Majesty, to tell you the truth, I waited to persuade Your Majesty to burn that somewhat arrogant thing, but now when I hear Your Majesty say this, I feel ashamed, Your Majesty thinks, Your Majesty thinks, it is much higher than me, the king humiliates the ministers to death, I am the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I am a courtier, and we must have the heart of death to wash away this shame......" Shi Fenglai immediately changed his tone and helped the emperor speak.

Zhang Ruitu listened to the emperor's words, and also felt that the emperor was reasonable, the change of the civil fort of that year, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was captured by that group of barbarians, this is definitely a huge shame of the Ming Dynasty, no wonder the emperor has been thinking about it, claiming to wash away the shame of the year.

"Your Majesty, the minister agrees with Shi Shoufu's words, the king humiliates the minister's death, the shame of the year, the loss of the past, my Ming Dynasty must not forget, as Your Majesty said, the north and the east are big, I am afraid that as in the past, a big war is inevitable, alas, no ......, it can only be said that it has been a lot of defeats, hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers have been lost, and millions of people have been lost...... Alas...... If only there had been such a thing,...... In the future, if there are such objects outside the gate, to observe the movement within a radius of dozens of miles, whether it is the Eastern Captives, or the Mongols, don't want to hide from my Ming, when the war is fought, the reality of the other party, all in my eyes, Your Majesty, this thing, it is really a treasure" Zhang Ruitu also spoke, to do the position of the minister, these years and the war with the Eastern Prisoner, is also known, when I think of the Ming Dynasty died hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers, the loss of millions of people, but also resentment, sigh, if there was such a thing back then, You can see the movement within a radius of dozens of miles, and it will not be so heavy to lose, and the land outside Liaodong Pass is almost lost.

"Yes, the matter of Liaodong is imminent, it has already caused me to lose hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, and now there is a danger of further expansion, coupled with the shame of the first emperor of my Zhu family, so I made up my mind to make this kind of weapon that can control the large-scale decisive battle on the grassland, this kind of thing that can observe the movement of dozens of miles in a radius, you may think that I am having fun, and think that this thing has transgressed, but I want to say that this thing, as Zhang Fuchen said, is a treasure...... "Yang Gai explained with a wry smile.

Several auxiliary ministers are sighing, this matter, discussed here, there is no need to persuade the emperor anymore, but to find a way for the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the ministers will go and talk to the ministers and let them know Your Majesty's hard work." Shi Fenglai couldn't sit still and was about to go out immediately.

"Alas......, this matter, everyone, you have to keep it as secret as possible, I will be expecting it to catch Dongyu off guard." Yang Reform said again.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, we know what to do." Shi Fenglai immediately agreed, he would be the best at handling this kind of trivial matter.

A few auxiliaries went out. The ministers immediately gathered around, ready to hear the results of the battle.

The auxiliary ministers looked like they had nothing to say, but they whispered in the ears of several high-ranking officials, and the faces of these high-ranking officials changed a few times, and they never mentioned this thing again, but mysteriously did not say anything.

When the crowd dispersed, some lower-level officials hurriedly contacted the senior officials who were more familiar with them, and when they saw what was going on, why didn't they mention it all of a sudden? The high-ranking officials whispered in the ears of the lower-level officials again, so the lower-ranking officials stopped talking and mysteriously did not mention the matter. As a result, what the emperor asked for secrecy soon became an open secret. ,

The moon appreciation of the Mid-Autumn Festival has entered the **, and the fireworks that are constantly set off illuminate the sky.

Sun Chengzong had been sitting silently beside the emperor, accompanying the emperor to admire the moon, and seeing that the "booming" fireworks were a little quieter, he couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, can you tell the minister, Your Majesty's true intention to do this thing?" Although His Majesty's statement is very reasonable, however, the minister always feels that there is something hidden in His Majesty's heart, Shi Shoufu They are right, the monarch is granted by heaven, His Majesty is the king of the world, and rules the world on behalf of heaven, if this 'heaven' is no longer mysterious and no longer sacred, it is a harm to His Majesty...... "When Sun Chengzong talked to the emperor alone, he was more direct and said these words directly, these words, if it were someone else, it would be impossible to say them.

Yang Gai lay on his back, staring at the moon in a daze, admiring the moon in the middle of the eight classics, he heard Sun Chengzong ask himself, and said with a smile: "Without him, it is just to grow the knowledge of the people of the country, and open the vision of the people of the country, there are some taboos and shackles, which must be broken, otherwise, the world cannot change...... Yang Reform said calmly.

"Your Majesty, what does this mean?" Sun Chengzong heard vaguely and didn't understand.

"Hehe, this day's problem, if Master Sun is interested, you can bring an astronomical telescope back from me, this kind of thing is specially used to observe the starry sky, it can be seen farther than an ordinary telescope, if Master Sun uses it to admire the moon, there will be a very surprising discovery ......, hehe, so, I have this attitude towards this day, that is, my calendar bureau has people who specialize in observing the sky, if Master Sun is interested, you can inquire with them...... "Yang Reform has never regarded himself as a "Son of Heaven", I never believed that I was the son of God, for a "son of heaven" who would die in seventeen years in history, there was nothing to be nostalgic about, nothing to keep, but many things had to be broken.
