Chapter 696 Disadvantages of Hot Air Balloons

After several days of continuous interrogation, interrogation, follow-up, and temptation, even Gong Fang Langzhong was invited to take a look, whether it was the Criminal Department, whether it was the important ministers of the court who were quite concerned about this matter, as well as the emperor, and the number of princes and princesses in the palace, they all finally came to the same conclusion.

That is, Li You, the king of Qi, is really crazy.

As for the date of his madness, the imperial doctor of the Imperial Doctor's Department is not sure, and there is no way for the idle Langzhong outside the palace, and those important ministers of the court who are in high positions but have no medical skills at all, there is no need to mention it, so whether it is sincere or half-believed, almost all of them have accepted the statement that Liu Yiyi said when he first diagnosed King Qi, as early as a month ago, King Qi was already crazy.

Therefore, the rebellion of King Qi should not have much to do with Li You himself, and most of his subordinates were taken advantage of King Qi's madness to support the army with the lord.

In this matter, few people will raise objections, first, few people can be more exquisite than Liu Yiyi, a miracle doctor, in terms of medical skills, and second, at this time, even the most confused officials know how to choose.

Also, many people have noticed that this time, it was Wei Zheng, the stubborn and upright old stubborn man, after confirming that Li You, the king of Qi, was really crazy, he questioned Mr. Liu Yiliu's statement, but he still held back and closed his mouth rarely.

Since the madness of Li You, the king of Qi, has become a fact, it would be a little unwise to hold on to this date unreasonably like before.

The emperor's thoughts, others understand, Wei Zheng is even more impossible to understand, nothing more than to save the life of King Qi and eliminate the bad scandal of the previous son against the father, the minister against the king, and the prince supporting the army to rebel.

Although Wei Zheng is stubborn and has always been bold, he has been able to be unharmed in the court for more than ten years, which is enough to show that he is not a fool, since he knows that this matter is conducive to the reputation of the court and the prestige of the emperor, then why can't he learn from Liu Yiyi's previous actions and be a beautiful gentleman?

Therefore, after confirming Li You's true condition, Old Man Wei took advantage of the name of the place where he was sick and recuperated at home, and he didn't ask a word about the future affairs.

Wei Daring was already like this. Others don't even need to mention it. So. About the rebellion of King Qi. It was very smooth to deal with. There wasn't even a slight obstacle. Li You was acquitted. Li You is a general under the command of the ground. All of them were convicted and beheaded. And those soldiers who were lucky enough not to die in the counterinsurgency. He was even more fortunate to be found not guilty.

Such a result. It's not a big deal. But it will not stir up public anger in one way or another. In general. Li Shimin, the Ming Jun, is in his heart. I'm quite satisfied. The heart is like a mirror to him. Inside. directly put the greatest effort on Liu Yiyi, the miracle doctor.

After all. If there is no Yanagichichi original diagnosis. There is no time to assert that Liu Yiyi was about Li You's illness. It's all there. It must not be as popular as it is now. Home ugly. Swearing. and his own bloody life. will come and go.

As for whether King Qi's madness was caused by Liu Yiyi in secret. Li Shimin didn't want to care too much about it. After all. Pretending to be confused. Sometimes it's a good choice.

Just think about it. If King Qi is not crazy. Supporting the army to rebel is a capital offense. Pretending to be crazy and stupid is even more guilty of deception. It was at this time that Liu Yiyi made some moves. It is also the rebel who is to blame. Deserve. And the royal family can take advantage of this to be ugly. And not a bad thing.

If King Qi is crazy. Yanagi can give back in real terms. Break the date of its madness. The court also returned the innocence of King Qi. That's a big deal.

Therefore, no matter what you say, no matter how you think about it, in this matter, Liu Yidi has contributed to it, and he can't escape it.

Punishment and reward, reward and punishment are clear, so after Li You's case is settled, Li Shimin remembered to reward Liu Yiyi, a meritorious hero, how to reward it, what to reward, after all, there are some things that cannot be said on the bright side, if the reward is heavy, it will inevitably be guessed by others, if the reward is light, it is not easy to talk about it in terms of face, and it will inevitably chill people's minds.

"Your Majesty," just as Li Shimin, the Ming monarch, was worried about rewarding Liu Yiyi with something, Li Ran, the chief of the inner chamberlain, came in from outside to report and said, "Lord Tao Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, is asking to see him outside the palace. ”

"Hustle!" There was something to do, Li Shimin straightened up quietly, came back to his senses, and gave instructions to Li Ran, and after a while, he saw Old Man Tao walking over from the palace with small steps.

"Weichen meets the emperor!" Respectfully bent over to greet Li Shimin, and Tao Yande asked to see him softly.

"Well, it's Tao Aiqing, let's sit on the side." Waving his hand to signal Tao Yande to sit down, Li Shimin looked up at the old man, and asked him directly: "I heard Aiqing report a few days ago, saying that the 'hot air balloon' has been made, right?" ”

Because Li You's matter was rushing to the head a while, Li Shimin was irritable in his heart, and his mind was a little messy, and he didn't take Tao Yan's return to heart, so after casually appreciating some things, he put them aside first.

Now that the rain has passed, the rebellion of the king of Qi has been decided, and Li Shimin, the Ming monarch, has also begun to recover the clarity of the past

Remembering this 'hot air balloon', I remember that at the beginning, this 'hot air balloon' was the first thing he Liu Yi mentioned, right?

"Back to the emperor," Seeing the emperor and his old man mention this 'hot air balloon' again, Tao Yande's heart was suddenly happy, after waiting for so many days and waiting for so many hours, the emperor and his old man finally remembered this matter again.

Thinking of the words that Li Chunfeng sent to him when he visited the door two days ago, Tao Yande's old heart and old liver couldn't help jumping, could it be really as Li Chunfeng said, his old Tao Tou'er's opportunity to be promoted to an official has arrived, right?

Thinking of this, Tao Yande couldn't help but be a little excited, and after bowing to Li Shimin, he said loudly: "The emperor is right, after all my colleagues in the Ministry of Industry and nearly a thousand soldiers of my Datang Dynasty, after three months of sleepless work, after one death, two cripples, two hundred and forty-five injuries, and the waste of nearly 300 'hot air balloons', the huge Kong Ming lantern conceived and designed by Mr. Liu, and the Ministry of Industry is responsible for experimental modification, which is enough to fly with several people, is completed!" ”

Before, because he was just in time for Li You's madness, Tao Yande didn't have time to report to Li Shimin in detail, and he broke his head in detail, probably according to the emperor's state of mind at the time, he didn't look at much, so taking advantage of the opportunity now, the old man's mouth began to nag non-stop.

"Your Majesty, didn't you see it," Tao Yande's mouth didn't stop, and said: "On that day, the 'hot air balloon' was made, and when Weichen went on the test flight, it rose with the wind and swayed tens of thousands of miles into the sky, overlooking the territory of my Tang Dynasty, it was called a spectacular ......."

"Oh? Tao Aiqing also tried? Listening to Tao Yande's words, it aroused Li Shimin's curiosity, and he glanced at Tao Yande with interest, and Mingjun asked: "Take that 'hot air balloon', can you really rise with the wind and soar above the nine heavens?" ”

When things didn't come out, Li Shimin was full of longing for them, but after the things were completed, Li Shimin felt a little unbelievable about them, can this person really fly above the nine heavens?

"The lifting is safe, if the emperor has time, he can go to the test flight with Weichen." In order to let the emperor experience the results developed by their Ministry of Industry as soon as possible, Tao Yande wished that Li Shimin, the Ming monarch, would be able to sit on the 'hot air balloon' immediately.

"Then, it's set for tomorrow," the old man Tao said a little itchy, and Li Shimin couldn't wait to get up: "When the time comes, remember to bring Mr. Liu with you, this 'hot air balloon' is originally from his hands, and his credit for this matter is not small." ”

"The emperor is right, and Weichen will go to invite Mr. Liu later." Tao Yande said softly, if it wasn't for the emperor who didn't open his mouth before, the old man would have been a little impatient to ask Liu Yiyi to go to the camp to take a look at the guidance, after all, he is the founder of this 'hot air balloon', maybe after seeing it, he can put forward some better suggestions.

"But, Your Majesty," I don't know what I remembered, Tao Yande's face began to become a little hesitant, he glanced at Li Shimin carefully, and said in a low voice: "Regarding this 'hot air balloon', there is one thing that the minister doesn't know whether to talk to the emperor or not. ”

"Oh? Why, is there something wrong with this? Li Shimin said to Tao Yande: "Tao Aiqing is defenseless. ”

"Your Majesty," Tao Yande glanced up at Li Shimin again, and then made up his mind to give his hand to him and replied: "This 'hot air balloon' can take people to heaven and soar above the nine heavens, that is true, and Weichen has also experienced it himself, but after thousands of test flights, the ministers have also shown one of the biggest drawbacks of this 'hot air balloon'." ”

After a pause, Tao Yande continued: "It must rely on the wind to walk in the air, and it cannot go backwards, and a 'hot air balloon' can only carry ten people at most, if it is used for military purposes, I am afraid it will be a little inconvenient." ”

"Huh? Is there such a thing? Li Shimin frowned slightly, if it is really as Tao Yande said, then this 'hot air balloon' is really not suitable for military use.

"I haven't seen it, Mr. Li's demeanor is still the same, and the old body is polite here!" Upon learning that Li Chunfeng was visiting the house, Mrs. Luo brought her son and Lao Liu and his wife, who were chatting with him in the hall, to welcome him out of the hall.

"Old Madam Luo, General Luo, Chunfeng is polite here! Uninvited, what a disturbance! Seeing the master coming out, Li Chunfeng also walked two steps quickly, walked around to Luo Xiang's side, bowed down to greet the master, and at the same time nodded with Liu Laoshi, Liu He's family and Liu Xiaohui, the three unfamiliar faces, which were considered to have been seen.

"Hehe, Mr. Li is polite, Mr. can come to the house, it is a blessing for my Luo Mansion, please Mr. Li talk in the hall!" Stretching out his hand to the side, Luo Qishi smiled and invited Li Chunfeng to sit down in the hall, Luo Tong, Lao Liu and his wife and Xiaohui followed behind.

"General Luo, I don't know who this is?" Lao Liu gently pulled down Luo Tongdi's sleeve from behind, and said, "If it's inconvenient, the three of us won't go in, so as not to miss the etiquette." ”

Seeing that Mrs. Luo was polite and respectful to the people who came, Lao Liu knew that it must be a distinguished guest, and he was worried that these rural people who had never seen anything would lose their thoughtfulness and lose face in front of the distinguished guests of Renluo Mansion.

"What is Uncle Liu's words, in our own home, how can there be a reason to avoid guests," saw Lao Liu

Thinking about it, Luo Tong turned around and persuaded with a smile to think about two sentences, turned a glance at Li Chunfeng, who was walking around the hall, and said to Liu honestly in a low voice: "Besides, here today, I am fortunate to be able to meet Mr. Li in person, for Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu and Sister Xiaohui, it can be regarded as a great opportunity, and it must not be missed." You must know that this Mr. Li, if he is left in the past, he is a distinguished guest who can't be invited if he wants to invite him. ”

"Although Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu didn't live in Chang'an for a long time before, they would also have heard about this Mr. Li's affairs," Seeing that Lao Liu and Liu He's faces were confused, Luo Tong answered: "This gentleman is, Chang'an Shenshu, Li Chunfeng." ”

"Li Chunfeng? That disciple of Yuan Daxian Master? Old Liu and Liu He's mouths opened wide when they heard this, they didn't expect that they would be lucky enough to meet the legendary fairy-like figure here.

"It's him," seeing that they had heard it, Luo Tong also saved himself from explaining to them again, seeing that the old lady and Li Chunfeng had been in for a long time, he was busy stretching out his hand to invite Lao Liu and his wife, and said: "Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu, let's go in quickly, don't let Mr. Li wait in the hall for a long time." ”

"Uh-huh, what the virtuous nephew said is true, we can't let the immortal master wait for us, let's go in quickly." Compared with Luo Tong, who knows the roots, Liu Laoshi and Liu He's understanding of Li Chunfeng is like a rumor in the countryside, that is, he is a living immortal who can know five hundred years before and after, and he can't be neglected.

After speaking, the four people stepped into the hall one after another, and sat down in the hall according to the honor, humility, guest, and lord.

"Looking at the old lady's current complexion, the red light is on the top, and the good fortune is coming from the east, I must have met that nobleman." Taking the tea handed by the next person, Li Chunfeng took a sip, raised his eyes and looked at Luo Qi's face carefully, and said loudly: "In the future, the old lady will no longer have to suffer from the cold and warm days, at most next year, she will be like an ordinary person." ”

"To borrow Mr. Li's auspicious words, the old body has been really tough in the past six months." Listening to Li Chunfeng's words, Luo Qi couldn't help but think of the fate of this Mr. Li five years ago.

"Blessing is rich, but life is thin, the body is expensive, and the body is weak, if there is no noble person to help you after that, five years later, your fate is worrying."

The fate is worrying, to put it bluntly, that is, after five years, whether there will be a life again, let alone a long and healthy life.

"In this way, the old man's son-in-law is really a nobleman," remembering that since he met Liu Yiyi and his wife, he had all kinds of incidents in his own body and their General Luo's mansion, Luo Qishi nodded and chuckled, and said: "Well, not only him, but also the goddaughter of the old body, is also a noble person in the life of the old body, if it weren't for the two of them who have a heart, they can't say that the old body has a life here, and it will really be as Mr. Li said five years ago, and the fate is worrying." ”

"Dare to ask the old lady about this godson-in-law, but Mihara Yanagi, Mr. Liu?" Knowingly asked, Li Chunfeng took the opportunity to ask: "I don't know Mr. Liu's others, where are they now?" ”

"That child," mentioning her godson-in-law, Mrs. Luo couldn't stop laughing on her face, and said softly with her hand holding the teacup: "Go to Brother Qin, the Duke of Yiguo, Brother Qin's body is not yet well, and now I can't leave the child to take care of it." ”

As she spoke, the old lady glanced out of the hall and said, "However, looking at the current sky, it is almost noon, and he is about to come back. ”

"In this way, that's the best," Hearing the old lady say this, Li Chunfeng stroked his beard and chuckled, and said directly without concealment: "Don't hide it from the old lady, Chunfeng came to visit the house this time mostly to meet with Mr. Liu, and there are some questions I want to ask him for advice in person." ”

What kind of rice thing?

Li Chunfeng's words stunned everyone in the hall when they heard it, and the look of surprise and surprise was overflowing, especially Lao Liu and Liu He's couple, who were a little incredulous, and thought that there was something wrong with their ears, how could a fairy-like character like Li Chunfeng stoop down to ask their eldest son for advice?

Although they knew that their eldest son had some skills, but they had the ability to even bend down to ask him for advice, and Lao Liu and his wife really couldn't accept it for a while.

"Hey, who is this little girl?" When speaking, out of a professional habit, Li Chunfeng's eyes casually turned on the faces of several people in the hall, and when he saw Liu Xiaohui who was moving around Liu He's legs, Li Chunfeng's eyes couldn't help but pause, and then asked Mrs. Luo out loud.

"She is the eldest of the Liu family, Xiaohui." Hearing that Li Chunfeng actually took the initiative to ask Liu Xiaohui's name, Luo Qi's heart was overjoyed, and after introducing him, he said to Li Chunfeng respectfully: "I don't know sir, but what do you see?" I hope that Mr. can give advice. ”

"Please sir, please give me advice and guidance!" Listening to Mrs. Luo's words, Lao Liu and Liu He's hearts tightened, and at the same time, there was a burst of unexpected surprise, and they turned their heads to look at Li Chunfeng, their eyes full of expectation.

The opportunity is rare, especially for a living immortal like Li Chunfeng, now that they have an opportunity, of course they don't want to miss it.
