Chapter 306: Street Scene in the Distance
The truth seems to be very slap in the face and unsatisfactory, but it is also shocking and uplifting enough.
Sun Congshan struggled to keep his face paralyzed all the way, until he stepped into the threshold of the imperial study, and then turned around to close the door, and his face showed irrepressible excitement.
"Your Majesty, it's really clairvoyant!" Sun Congshan knelt on the ground, carefully holding the monocular with both hands, which was called an excitement.
"Huh?" The emperor was very surprised, what he originally thought might be just a plausible thing, but was it really clairvoyance?
If Sun Congshan didn't say this, the emperor still needs to consider whether the person who reported it had any misunderstanding about clairvoyance.
But this is the person the emperor trusts the most, and that's right.
"Bring it, I'll see." The Emperor hurriedly stretched out his hand.
Sun Congshan raised his hands high in front of him, which was originally for the emperor to see, but when the emperor really said that he wanted to take a look, he was a little hesitant.
"Your Majesty, otherwise, the servants will serve you and go to the Moon Tower." Sun Congshan said.
With just one sentence, the emperor remembered what Shao Yi said before, this clairvoyant...... No, it's a telescope, and you have to be outside to see the effect.
"Hmm." The emperor did not hesitate, and immediately stood up and beckoned the people to put on their robes.
The eunuch outside the door reported: "Commander Liu has come to see you." ”
"Come in." The emperor is in a good mood, what is the use of this telescope, Liu Xie is more qualified to calm down than these few people.
Liu Xie entered the door to meet him, and was a little surprised to see that the emperor meant to go out. Where is the emperor going? If you just walk around the imperial city, you don't need him to accompany you.
But if you want to leave the palace......
Liu Xie was sweating a little, the situation outside is not very good now, only take him and Sun Congshan, is there a little less people?
Thinking so, he glanced at Shao Yi who was standing aside. This kid's words, mixed in the middle of a dry man or a soldier, are quite good. But it is too far away from the master who can protect His Majesty.
"Your Majesty, are you going out? Do you want Weichen to arrange some more manpower? Liu Xie asked.
As soon as the palace maid served the emperor and put on the silver fox skin robe with a bright yellow face, the emperor also freed his hand, waved his big hand, and said, "No, just go to the Moon Tower to take a look." ”
Liu Xie's brain is running at high speed, Mochizuki Tower? Call him?
The emperor saw his doubts, but there were several palace maids and eunuchs serving in the room, and the matter of the telescope, it didn't matter, the less people knew about it, the better.
"Well, climb up and look into the distance." It's a very simple explanation, but the emperor has deep expectations, hoping that after they ascend, they can have a real view from afar.
Of course, Liu Xie didn't understand what this sentence meant, but since the emperor didn't explain, naturally there was a reason why he couldn't explain it, so he also bowed down and didn't say anything anymore.
He watched as Shao Yi picked up a very ordinary purple lacquered wooden box and smiled at him at the emperor's signal.
It seems that this trip has a lot to do with Shao Yi and this wooden box.
The experienced Liu Xie guessed the truth.
The group accompanied the emperor to the Moon Tower in the harem.
It's not a year, it's the middle of winter, and the big eunuch next to the emperor actually came here, but he went up alone, and he didn't bring half of them.
As a result, not long after Gonggong Sun left, the emperor came in person.
The palace maid and eunuch who took care of the Moon Tower every day were surprised, and saw that the emperor also left the people who were waiting around him at the bottom of the Moon Tower, and went upstairs with the big eunuch, the commander of the imperial city guards and the young man who didn't know who.
Yes, Shao Yi is quite famous in the capital, but he is really a little transparent in the palace, very few people have heard of it, and even fewer people have seen it.
Xiao Transparent Shao Yi walked at the end of a group of four, and climbed the stairs in the empty five-story Moon Tower.
As early as when the emperor changed into clothes for going out, there were already eunuchs who came to Mochiyue Tower to prepare.
At this time, braziers have been placed in the four corners of the top floor pavilion, and in the beautifully carved attic, the equally exquisite tables and chairs are properly maintained, and snacks, dried fruits, tea sets, and small tandoor stoves are also in suitable places, waiting to be used.
The Emperor completely ignored the delicacy and preparation of the pavilion, and as soon as he entered, he walked to the window facing south.
Probably because the eaves of the doors and windows here are exquisitely made, and they are not a daily living place, so they are still made of wooden carved hemp paper windows.
Sun Congshan stepped forward first, pushed the window open, the winter sun shined in unobstructed, because of the high position, looking out, can really ignore the winter cold, there is a feeling of refreshment.
The emperor stood in front of the window and stretched out his hand to Shao Yi.
So, Liu Xie followed closely behind the emperor, looked at Shao Yi with some trepidation, and took out something like a short iron rod from the wooden box.
Fortunately, there was no scene of trying to see the dagger or using the iron rod as a weapon to assassinate him, Shao Yi just handed the thing to the emperor.
And the emperor didn't say anything, took the short iron rod, glanced at it, and raised the fingers of both hands to his eyes.
Only then did Liu Xie understand that this thing was hollow and could be seen from the middle.
Sun Congshan and Shao Yi also knew each other and didn't come forward to explain, just now the two of them in the imperial study about how to use the telescope, the emperor listened very carefully.
Just as Liu Xie was strange, the emperor's hands slowly twisted, and then froze.
It took a while for the emperor to move, the same slowly moving perspective, which should be looking at different positions.
As the emperor's most trusted close minister, Liu Xie still knows the emperor well. He stood behind the emperor, and just from his figure, he could see that the emperor was excited now, very excited.
Then, the emperor raised and lowered the angle of view, constantly twisting the cylinder to change the area where he could see.
After a long time, the cylinder was removed, and the emperor turned around.
"Liu Xie, let's see how this thing is." The Emperor's voice tightened, clearly controlling his emotions.
Liu Xie hurriedly thanked him and took the telescope handed over by the emperor. What is it that can make the emperor so excited?
Sun Congshan stepped forward and gave a brief explanation: "Commander Liu, this thing is used like this......" In order to create surprises and shocks, Sun Congshan was very bad and didn't say what this thing was and what effect it could achieve.
Liu Xie is not a sincere person, but also made a very strong psychological construction, in the process of adjusting the focal length of the telescope full of doubts, the original blurry white light suddenly changed, and the field of vision became clear......
"What's that?! Where is that?! Liu Xie, who is well-informed and extremely tenacious, exclaimed.
In exclamation, Liu Xie took the telescope away and looked at the place he had just seen in the distance.
It was there, as the emperor's most reliable force guarantee and eyeliner, Liu Xie couldn't be more familiar with the capital.
What he had just seen in the cylinder was an alley far away from the palace, and from here, it was absolutely impossible to see the specific situation there.
At this time, Liu Xie even forgot that the emperor was by his side, and he also forgot that this thing was handed over by the emperor.
He put the cylinder in front of his eyes again, and through the hollow cylinder, he could see clearly the cars, horses, pedestrians, and shop plaques on the street, and if his eyesight was better, he could even see the appearance of a person's clothes.
