Shanxi, Datong, the border army is in a hurry, the Tatars attack the military town at night, burn and loot, and come to the so-called grass valley again.

Almost every year towards the end of the year, they will come to loot, which has become the norm, and it is unbearable.

A letter from the Datong Military Government was urgently sent to the capital.

Mid-Autumn Festival Moon Banquet, Your Majesty invited the ministers, entered the palace on the night of the Moon Banquet, the Royal Manufacturing Bureau, a few days ago, assembled Zhu Houzhao's long-awaited airship, and finally built it, Yang Shen boldly asked the emperor to let him operate the airship on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, replacing Liu Jin.

Zhu Houzhao refused without thinking about it, don't you want to go to death, what about Liu Jin, what are you fooling in, so Liu Jin was recorded in history as the first pilot of the Ming Dynasty to board the airship, and was praised for his bravery and fearlessness, and dared to be a pioneer in the sky.

On the west mountain, the twelve regiments and battalions that protect the capital, all on standby along the way, today is not forbidden at night, all night long, and the people are happy, when the news is announced, the people of the capital are happy, the cement pavement on the street, the main road has been paved completely, the lights are brilliant, the people are novel to step on the smooth cement pavement, and no longer worry about the dirty water under one foot.

Guessing lantern riddles, shopping for flowers, and the sound of selling is endless, this is what Zhu Houzhao wants, otherwise as soon as the sun sets, the ghost can be killed on the street, so what kind of human flavor is there.

Zhu Houzhao took Liu Jin, Yang Shen, and the guards, strolled around the street at random, went to Hua Niang, stepped on the door, and hurried back to the palace.

In the palace.

The imperial banquet has been arranged, and the hundred officials have arrived and waited, only the emperor is missing, they are very curious, what does His Majesty want them to see tonight, the movement on the west mountain, has already alarmed them, and they have got the news.

"Your Majesty has arrived."

Liu Jin is not here, and he is served by another eunuch, which is naturally a confidant arranged by Liu Jin, serving His Majesty, but he can't be handed over to anyone else.

"Ministers, welcome to the emperor."

Zhu Houzhao made the grand debut of the crown of the dragon robe of the Son of Heaven, and sat on the main hall with the support of the eunuch, and then stretched out his hand to lift it.

"Flat."

"Your Majesty."

"Take a seat."

"Emperor Xie Longen, long live my emperor."

After everyone sat down, Zhu Houzhao picked up a glass of wine on the royal table and smiled; "You Aiqing are members of the court, loyal to the king, hard work, I respect Zhuqing with a cup and a full drink."

The ministers got up, and under the leadership of the three elders, they thanked them in unison: "Ministers, thank you Your Majesty for the banquet, long live my emperor." ”

Zhu Houzhao drank it all, the wine in the cup, stretched out his hand to press, asked everyone to sit down, and sighed; "Since I ascended the throne, relying on the loyal assistance of Zhu Qing, I can slowly learn how to govern the world, I am very lucky, Zhu Qing, I drink this cup again, Jing Qing and so on."

The ministers raised their glasses again and drank together, thanking the mountain for a shout.

Zhu Houzhao filled the third glass of wine and raised his glass again; "All of you here are the old ministers of Xianzong and the first emperor's dynasty, my foundation is still shallow, and there are still deficiencies in political affairs, so there will be crying outside the palace gate some time ago, this is my negligence, let me realize my own shortcomings, this cup is considered to be me, for my own mistakes, and make amends."

He himself drank it all first, admitting his mistakes, which made the ministers feel uncomfortable, His Majesty is still young, but he has the benevolent style of the first emperor, Corporal Lixian, self-discipline, three glasses of wine in the stomach, the ministers were brought in by Zhu Houzhao, and he had already prepared the scene.

No one found that today, on such an important occasion, Liu Jin did not appear.

Zhu Houzhao has three glasses of wine, and the atmosphere is more casual, and he recites poetry during the banquet, which is a must, and singing and dancing to help the fun, that is also necessary.

After thirty years of wine and halfway through the banquet, all the ministers were looking forward to what His Majesty Fat said, and when would the good things that the ministers want to take a look at will come out, this is what makes them curious.

Yang Tinghe saw that someone whispered below, smiled, and glanced up at His Majesty, he had been informed beforehand, and he had also seen the magic of the airship, and he was shocked by His Majesty's methods, and he was also full of curiosity about the Royal Manufacturing Bureau.

Zhu Houzhao asked him to bring it up at the right time, isn't it.

So, he raised his glass and stood up, saying; "Your Majesty, the Mid-Autumn Festival is full moon, and the sky is refreshing, Your Majesty's imperial grace is vast, and the ministers have thanked Your Majesty for their grace, but the ministers remember that Your Majesty said, there is a thing to ask the ministers to take a look, I don't know where this thing is now, please forgive your Majesty for your curiosity, I really can't wait, I want to see it, please give your Majesty a look."

Some of the ministers also stood up and chimed in; "Your Majesty, please give your ministers a look."

For the Royal Manufacturing Bureau, they are too curious, they have seen the effect of cement, and they don't know what good things Your Majesty has come up with for the benefit of the country and the people, and it must be a good thing to show at the Mid-Autumn Festival Moon Banquet.

Zhu Houzhao smiled heartily, patted his forehead and said; "It's my negligence, so that's it, all the Qing family, come with me."

The ministers didn't know why, so they followed Zhu Houzhao out in turn with curiosity and arrived at the open space corridor in front of the hall.

Zhu Houzhao said; "Please raise your heads, this thing is in the sky."

The ministers looked up, but they didn't see anything except a bright moon and stars, and they couldn't help but be suspicious.

After a while, a fireworks rose to the sky in the west of the imperial city, and the ministers were still puzzled, could it be that the fireworks that His Majesty said were just to give them things?

Zhu Houzhao seemed to know what they were thinking, and said with a smile; "You don't have to be in a hurry, you see, didn't that thing come out?"

The ministers looked in the direction of the emperor's finger, where ······.

When they saw it clearly, a sound of absurdity and a hollow roar in their brains exploded in their minds, and it continued to be implemented.

I saw the direction of the West Mountain, slowly rising a round of bright things, shining, colorful, brighter than the moon, this this, what a treasure, actually flying in the sky, and, rising higher and higher, the whole capital people have seen.

You see, what is that?

Wow, that's amazing.

There's someone up there, you see, you're fast.

The people in the capital are full of voices, pointing directly to the bright things flying in the sky, thinking that it is a miracle, some people kneel and worship, some people shout and shout, and cheer endlessly.

The ministers in the palace were also dumbfounded, what the hell is this, it can fly in the sky, so bright, and after a short time, that thing actually flew in the direction of the imperial city.

"Protect Your Majesty and shoot that thing down."

"Escort."

Some ministers shouted in panic.

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand lightly and said: "There is no need to panic, this is the thing that I want you to watch, this thing, I named it an airship, what do you think." ”

At this time, the ministers came back to their senses completely, and looked at the emperor speechlessly, the emperor is really the son of heaven, even such a divine object can be created, and the ministers will obey.

At this moment, the sharp-eyed minister exclaimed among the ministers; "Look, there's someone up there, there's someone on top of the airship, there's someone."

Well, all of a sudden, everyone turned their heads to look at the airship in the sky, and it seemed that there was really someone.

I saw that when the thing flew over the imperial city, it stopped in the air, and two people were tinkering with something on it, and I saw them throw a huge piece of colored silk downward, with a few big characters written on it.

I wish me a prosperous world, a thousand years of eternal prosperity.

When someone read these words, all the ministers and others saw it clearly, and immediately bowed down and shouted; "I wish me a great Ming, a prosperous world, a long life of Yongchang, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

In their eyes, at this moment, the image of the emperor can really be said to be the son of heaven, what kind of whimsy, genius, can create this airship, they can't even think about it, isn't flying to the sky the same as a fairy?

The huge flamejet of the airship landed down, Liu Jin walked down with his head held high, and it was Liu Jin on the airship, no wonder he didn't appear at the moon banquet.

"Your Majesty, the slave and maid are fortunate to live up to their mission, and they flew to the imperial city from Xishan in a fetish airship, and they have come to reply to the emperor." Liu Jin said excitedly, his body trembling faintly.

In fact, part of it is fear, but when he really goes to heaven, he is afraid, scared, and a little expectant, will he see where the gods live? Our family is really in heaven this time.

Zhu Houzhao personally walked down the imperial steps, patted him on the shoulder, and learned the leadership of his previous life; "Okay, I'm optimistic about you, keep up the good work."

"Thank you for the emperor's love, and the slave and maid have repaid the emperor's grace by swearing to die." Liu Jin was excited, and was patted on the shoulder by the emperor, which was a rare honor.

The three pavilion elders have nothing to say this time, look at the attitude of the ministers, you know, this time, Your Majesty completely surrendered to them, and even made them in awe, since ancient times, they have never heard of such an unbelievable thing, people, how can they fly in the sky, this is the ability of the gods.

Yang Tinghe saw that the timing was good, and said again; "The opportunity of heaven and man to induce, the time to cure the sudden survival and death, all of them are not to be completed, and the matter of the seven cities of Nanjing, the ministers can only explain it with the theory of heaven and man."

His words, if they were said in Chenghua, they would have been liked by the emperor, but now that he says this, it is not good, the ministers really frowned, what's the matter, this is to let His Majesty follow in the footsteps of Emperor Xianzong, you Lord Yang are doing it for Your Majesty's good, or do you want to frame Your Majesty.

Fortunately, this matter was discussed in advance, otherwise, Zhu Houzhao would have doubted Yang Tinghe's purpose.

Zhu Houzhao smiled, did not reproach him, and explained: "The words of the Qing family are wrong, the sense of heaven and man is too subtle, you can observe it, but you can't hold it, but, I, today I will take this opportunity to explain to all the good students of the Qing family, Liu Jin, order people to withdraw the Xishan regimental camp, and reward them with good students, and the wine and meat are enough." ”

Liu Jin took the order and left, the airship took off again, and the exhaust and flame-breathing devices behind the airship sounded a huge roar again, shocking, and they watched Liu Jin fly away with two guards, so surprised.

Zhu Houzhao led the crowd back to the palace, and the banquet continued.

He took the opportunity to have a three-foot-square globe carried out, which he had long been prepared to deal with with these ancients, relying on the memories of his past life.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please see, this is the globe, that is, the ······· of the earth under our feet."

Zhu Houzhao took the opportunity to teach them a geographical encyclopedia and let them accept new things, otherwise how would they play with the new gadgets made by the Royal Manufacturing Bureau in the future.

Next.

The people of the capital greeted each other, and the first sentence was, did you see something flying in the sky last night? There's actually someone up there.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, what happened in the capital, quickly spread all over the world, and soon the name of that thing came out, the airship, is the emperor made out of the magical manned flight tool, I heard that this airship, will be exhibited in Xishan, for people to fly, for a time, Xishan has become a playground for the people and officials, but there are few people to sit up, one hundred taels of silver, can fly once, and to sign a life and death certificate, dead and no one is particularly good.

After the Baiguan entered the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, he felt that he had lived in vain all his life, and the land under his feet was called the earth, and it was still round.

It turns out that the Ming Dynasty is not the center of the world, but only a corner of the huge world, the earth, and so many countries, seven continents and four oceans.

The world is so big, you don't want to see it?

This sentence sounded in the minds of all civil and military generals at the same time, which was said by the emperor.
