Chapter 158: The Emperor's Dream of Ascending to the Heavens

"Those imperial histories are too bad, if it weren't for the queen's presence, King Wei's business would probably be impeached by them."

Xu Jingzong chewed the mutton in his mouth and didn't speak.

Li Xiaogong continued: "Now the business has the queen's share, and the government is not easy to impeach too much, no matter how you say it, it is the queen's business, and it is the queen's family business, and it is not good to say much about those imperial histories." ”

Zhang Yang poured Li Xiaogong a drink.

Li Xiaogong slapped the case, "Cheng Biting Jin was impeached by those civil servants and fined for several years, this old man is really arrogant, a real man." ”

"These civil servants are really not things!" Xu Jingzong scolded.

"That's right! Those civil servants are not things, they should not be able to go to the toilet every morning! Li Xiaogong poured a sip of wine.

Zhang Yang let out a long sigh and said in his heart, aren't the three of us also civil officials?

Li Xiaogong was puzzled: "Why sigh? ”

Zhang Yang looked at the sky, "It seems that it is going to rain, and the bedding and clothes at home are confiscated." ”

Li Xiaogong also glanced at the gloomy sky, "Let's go back quickly." ”

"Hey." Zhang Yang answered and left.

From time to time, a gust of cold wind blew, and a few drops of rain fell.

When I got home, the rain was pouring down.

The two aunts and Li Yue also hurriedly carried the work table they had just made into the house.

"Husband, it's raining!"

Listening to Li Yue's urging, Zhang Yang walked under the eaves of his house.

Looking up at the sky, Li Yue caught some rain with his hand, "This is the first rain of spring." ”

Zhang Yang took a small stool and sat down, "Well, the spring rain came a little late this year." ”

Li Yue also took a small stool and sat aside, and the two watched the rain fall quietly.

The entire Chang'an City seemed to have the sound of rain left, and the moment it rained, it was quiet.

The two aunts made tea.

Holding a teacup made of bamboo tubes, watching the rain fall on the yard, there will be a few drops of rain falling on your face.

Li Yue took a sip of tea, "When I was a child, I liked rain very much. ”

The rocking chairs in the yard were carried by the rain, and the flower seedlings were also in the rain.

Soon the rain became less and became a drizzle.

The table was moved under the eaves, and the husband and wife ate while watching the rain.

Because he had just had a meal with Li Xiaogong outside, Zhang Yang ate less.

Li Yue's appetite is good, "Husband, do you think my father will make more hot air balloons?" ”

Zhang Yang put some vegetable soup in the bowl, "There will be no more, and the stability is very poor, the load-bearing is not good, the items that are too heavy cannot be placed, and there is no transportation effect, but when fighting, you may be able to give the enemy a surprise attack unprepared, but it is still an old problem, you will be shot down." ”

Li Yue chewed the pickled radish, and the crispy radish went well with rice.

"Then what does my father want this for?"

"Maybe your father has some crazy ideas."

"Want to send people to heaven?"

An emperor who has obtained a tool that can go to heaven will inevitably make some strange moves, using his manpower and material resources to make a hot air balloon that can have enough firepower, and say that he wants to send people up.

In Datang, an era with such low resource utilization, this kind of thing simply cannot happen.

Li Yue asked in a low voice, "I think my father may really do this kind of thing." ”

"With your father's current conditions, it is impossible to send people to heaven."

Li Yue bit down another piece of pickled radish and chewed it crisply in his mouth.

"It's like Ling's experiment from the beginning, using candles to make Kong Ming lanterns, but you find that the height is not enough, so you make a bigger Kong Ming lantern, and then you use wood, change it to a fuel, and even fly at a lower height than candles."

Li Yue couldn't help nodding.

"And then we switched to coal, but coal as a fuel also has limitations, and that limitation is that the more you want height, the faster the coal burns, which is a proportional consumption, unless you switch to a more efficient fuel, which is lighter."

Li Yue asked in a low voice, "Is there such a thing?" ”

Zhang Yang put down the dishes and chopsticks, "Not yet." ”

If you say these words to others, they should not understand, but Li Yue has learned basic mechanics conversion, and she can understand it.

The rain is still falling, and raindrops are constantly falling from the eaves.

Li Yue held his chin with his small hand and looked up, "After all, it's still a fool's dream." ”

Zhang Yang cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, "But this is already a great progress." ”

On the other side of Chang'an City.

Shangguan Yi is still teaching these strong men to read and write, and a group of people have changed.

Now they have to start from scratch, and their understanding is very poor, and it is very difficult to teach, and they can barely teach them to write a complete sentence in an afternoon.

Collect money and do things and can't stop teaching, otherwise the sage book will be read in vain, and the hard work will be a little harder, at least people give enough money, where to find people who give so much money.

These people are also very attentive and very orderly.

This is not the case even in the Weifu army, everyone sits in a neat and uniform manner, and can not say a word of gossip in the middle.

The rain was still falling, and it wasn't until it was almost dark that Shangguan Yi left here tiredly.

One by one, these strong men shouted very politely to the master to say goodbye.

Shangguan Yi was moved and wanted to cry in her heart, how good these people are, they are so polite, they are obviously fierce and vicious, why? Why is this happening, what's wrong with Chang'an City? It's abnormal.

The drizzle fell on his body and he didn't feel the slightest cold, and Shangguan Yi walked on Suzaku Street, about to go back to his residence in Hongwen Pavilion.

Although sleeping there is a little crowded, it is a dirty and messy place, but it is also a place to stay, and everything will be fine when you save enough money to buy a house in Chang'an City.

Shangguan Yi cheered herself up in her heart, looking at the palace at the end of Suzaku Street, her heart was full of hope.

The rain lasted for five days and ended on the fifth day.

Today, there was an incident that shook the court, and the Tuli Khan, who had just left Youzhou, really died of illness in the middle of the road.

This is not a small blow to the DPRK and China.

Wei Zheng stood up and walked out of the court, "Your Majesty, now that the Tuli Khan has died, it is also because he died on the way to the court, and the minister thinks that the court should express his condolences." ”

The layout of Zhongshu Province in the Turks now seems to be falling short in the Turks.

Li Shimin was very frustrated in his heart, he didn't expect this Tuli Khan to die at a young age, "Is the Tuli Khan old enough to be confused?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji replied: "Twenty-nine this year. ”

Zhang Yang, who was groggy and asleep, felt Xu Jingzong behind him tugging at the corners of his clothes.

Zhang Yang mentioned the spirit, it turned out that the DPRK was talking about the Turkic matter.

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "It's a pity, I'm not yet thirty years old, and it's a pity that the great cause has not been accomplished." ”

"Your Majesty, the wife of the Turki Khan is the former Sui Huainan princess Yang, and his son Ashina He Luohu can inherit the throne of the Eastern Turkic Khan."

After listening to Wei Zheng's words, the eldest grandson Wuji stood up again, "Your Majesty, the children of the Turki Khan are still too young, in fact, the Turki Khan also has a younger brother, Ashina, who can also take the position of this khan." ”

The son of the Turki Khan was too young.

The younger brother of the Turki Khan was just right.

This guy died at a bad time.

Li Shimin's eyes looked at Zhang Yang who was standing in the court, and at this moment Zhang Yang lowered his head and did not move, without the slightest intention of speaking.

"I mourn the death of the Turki Khan, and the court erects a monument for him, and the secretary Lang Cen writes an inscription."

"Whoa!" Cen Wenwen stood up and saluted.

Jieli's matter is over, Tuli Khan ended early, and the chaos in Mobei made Li Shimin very annoyed, "Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng, Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong, come to Ganlu Hall to discuss matters." ”

Li Shimin hesitated for a while, and then looked at Zhang Yang, this kid still stood calmly, waved his sleeves and said happily: "Retreat from the dynasty!" ”

The ministers saluted again.

This time the Turkic matter Li Xiaogong was right.

Out of the limelight to survive development.

Turning around and following the crowd out of the Taiji Palace, Zhang Yang was stopped by Li Chengqian after walking out three or two steps.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, do you have any orders?"

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Zhang Shilang, the things that my father has been busy making recently have come to fruition, so you might as well go and take a look together." ”

Li Xiaogong gave him a look, which seemed to mean to be cautious.

Zhang Yang nodded slightly.

Looking at Li Tai, who was yawning on the side, Zhang Yang said, "Do you want His Royal Highness King Wei to go and have a look together?" ”

Li Tai snorted coldly: "This king has no thoughts. ”

The little fat man walked away with arrogant steps.

Li Chengqian sighed: "This brother of Lone is really ......"

Zhang Yang took over the words, "Very personal." ”

"Personality?" Li Chengqian shook his head again and sighed.

"It's a good thing to have a personality, if a person loses his personality, he will lose his color, and King Wei is a person who doesn't want to be erased of his personality."

Li Chengqian said in a low voice: "Don't say much, I'll take you to see it first, and you won't be able to see it if you miss the hour." ”

Walking out of the Vermilion Bird Gate, all the way to the city wall of the south gate of Chang'an City, following Li Chengqian's gaze, more than ten hot air balloons had been prepared in the distance.

"My father was made by people day and night."

Zhang Yang noticed that the people who were busy were all eunuchs.

Li Chengqian asked again: "Zhang Shilang, there is one thing that I don't understand. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please ask."

"You said before that this thing is not perfect, if these things are perfect, can they go to heaven?"

"It's not very clear below."

"You really don't know?" Li Chengqian said suspiciously.

"If I had known, I would have gone to heaven."

Li Chengqian smiled, "That's right." ”

With the exclamations of the eunuchs below, the hot air balloon slowly rose, and in each basket stood a person, and the people inside kept pushing and pulling the bellows.

Compared with the hot air balloons made by his daughter-in-law, Li Shimin's hot air balloons are much bigger, the emperor can exhaust a lot of resources to make this thing, but it is useless to have resources, even if Li Shimin sits in the world, he is also an emperor who is bound by limited knowledge.

His ascent to heaven can only exist in dreams.

These hot air balloons did not rise very quickly, and several of them had just risen and fell less than half a meter because the flames were so high that they burned to the lanterns above.

There were three or four hot air balloons that lifted off safely.

The people standing in the basket kept throwing sandbags down, and the hot air balloon rose faster.

The city walls, which had already skimmed, slowly reached a height of 100 meters.

For the sake of heaven's attempt, these people's lives must not be spared, and they are still pushing the lever with all their might.

Someone fell out of the basket and fell to the ground on the spot.

I lost my sandbag in a hurry, and I lost my balance in the basket.

By the end, there was only one hot air balloon left in the sky.

Li Chengqian's expression was very nervous, and he watched intently.

The last hot air balloon was already 100 meters high, and from the city wall, it was only the size of a fist floating in the distance.

Finally, under the gaze of the people, the only hot air balloon also lost its balance and fell from a high altitude.

It's like a spell that hits everyone deeply.

The dream of ascending to heaven was shattered in my heart.

Li Chengqian retracted his gaze, "It seems impossible." ”

"Maybe it will be possible in the future."

"Perhaps."

Li Chengqian's expression was full of loss, "Presumably Zhang Shilang already knew this result." ”

"I also advised Your Majesty at the beginning."

"After all, I have seen a scenery that I have never seen in my life, and I know that this will be a big dream."

"Everything starts with a dream, and who can tell what will happen in the future."

Li Chengqian bowed and said, "You're right, everything starts from a dream. ”

Zhang Yang also saluted: "The lower official will leave first." ”

"Wait." Li Chengqian took a step forward, "Why didn't my father let Zhang Shilang and Yue'er go to the Guozi monitoring class?" ”

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you also know, the lower official is also a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and he is too busy to serve in Zhongshu Province."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yang left, and let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince continue to grieve there.

Now that the court knows the news that the Turki Khan has died, he has to return to the Ministry of Rites and Li Xiaogong to explain the next arrangements.

As for how to go to heaven and this kind of thing, let Li Shimin toss it himself, there will be no only attempt this time, and there will be again in the future.

Re-entering the Suzaku Gate, Zhang Yang heard the officials coming and going discussing the death of the Tuli Khan.

Mobei will be even more chaotic.

The DPRK needed a rightful Turkic heir.

Xue Yantuo's rebellion will intensify.

The whole Turkic is in dire straits, and Li Shimin wants to be a fierce man from the sky to deter Mobei and make the entire Turkic become the horse breeding ground of the Tang Dynasty.

As soon as I walked to the Ministry of Rites, I heard Li Xiaogong's snoring.

This snoring gives a sense of peace of mind.

Li Xiaogong can sleep here, and the sound of snoring like thunder means that there is nothing major in the DPRK.

Zhang Yang sat down next to Xu Jingzong, "Is there any news from the Turks?" ”

Xu Jingzong frowned, "Since the last time I wrote to the son of the Tuli Khan that he was willing to do business, and he also sent all the tools for making milk powder, His Royal Highness the King of Wei also sent someone over, and I am still waiting for the news, and I don't know when the news will arrive." ”

In this era of backward information dissemination, is it possible that we can only make predictions?

As soon as the news came and went, even if it was a quick whip, more than half a month had passed.

"Your Majesty asked Zhao Guogong to discuss matters in the Ganlu Palace, and it has been two hours, and there is no result."
