Datang: Acting as a celestial mystery at the beginning

Li Chengqian has been a little drifting recently, the reason is very simple, he has Li Shimin's consent, he can toss about his things at will.

Since it can't be done in the East Palace, where is it more convenient to go, and there is no danger?

He immediately thought of Wannian County, Li Shimin had given Li Yian a large piece of land, it was the most suitable place to come here, it was spacious enough, so he ran to Wannian County early in the morning, and dragged Li Yian into those lands.

"Sir, what do you think?"

Li Chengqian looked at a balloon made of canvas in front of him, but it hadn't flown yet, so he threw it aside casually. He also finished the other thing that could adjust the firepower, but he didn't formally experiment it. in debugging.

"Are you sure, His Majesty really asked you to come to my place to toss, instead of you sneaking out?"

Li Yi'an asked in disbelief, it was very abnormal for Li Shimin to do so.

"If it wasn't for his permission, how would I dare to come here?"

"I'm feeling bad again."

"How bad?"

"If there is no accident, in the next few days, Kong Yingda will scold me in the court, saying that I brought you down, and send me into exile."

Li Yian said helplessly.

Li Chengqian smiled heartlessly: "We make things that can shut everyone's mouths. Do you know, sir? Recently, envoys from Rome and the Great Food Kingdom in the West came to our Tang Dynasty."

"The Romans are coming too?"

Li Yi'an was surprised.

That is the area along the Mediterranean Sea, and the big food countries are not close. In the Central Asian region, they came all the way to Chang'an. National diplomacy in this era is really not easy, and it is almost desperate.

Li Yian asked again: "So what do you want to do?"

"If you don't sing, you're done. If you don't fly, you're done. If you don't fly, you can fly to the sky!"

Li Chengqian said mysteriously.

For some reason, upon hearing his words, Li Yi'an had an ominous premonition, that is, that His Royal Highness was not very reliable, and that something big might happen.

It doesn't matter if this great event succeeds, if it doesn't, it will kill him.

Li Chengqian added: "But sir, don't ask, you will know when the time comes."

The more he is like this, the more it shows that he has to work hard.

The crown prince is still a child, if a child gets angry and wants to play, there is nothing to stop him.

"Your Highness, we are all ready!"

A guard ran over and said.

"Sir, the hot air balloon is finally ready, come and see!"

Li Chengqian cheered and walked excitedly to the side of the hot air balloon.

Some guards fixed things filled with kerosene on the hot air balloon, and then ignited the kerosene. They actually made a valve and adjusted the size of the flame by turning the valve switch.

As the air expands, the hot air balloon is slowly inflated, and now there is a rope that holds it to the ground.

"Your Highness, is this the hot air balloon that you said could take people into the sky?"

Chang Sun Chong was dumbfounded, this thing seemed to be able to fly, and it seemed interesting.

Li Dejian asked: "Can this really take people to the sky?"

Li Chengqian patted his heart and said: "Of course, cousin, why don't you try it first?"

"No... no!"

Chang Sun Chong waved his hands and said: "Your Highness, you know that I am the most afraid of heights since I was a child, and Pauline is the most courageous among us. Why don't you let Pauline try it."

Yuchi Baolin looked at the hot air balloon that was about to take off, and she didn't have the confidence in her heart. If she fell, she would die, and said immediately: "If you want to say that the most courageous ones are Dejian and Chumo, how dare I Compare them."

Li Dejian denied it three times: "I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense!"

Cheng Chumo swallowed his saliva: "Your Majesty, will this work or not?"

Li Chengqian said angrily: "A group of cowardly people, so afraid of death! Come two people, you go up with me, I want to try the feeling of flying in a hot air balloon for myself."

"Your Highness, this must not work!"

Chang Sun Chong immediately said: "It's enough to let the two guards go up and have a try, how can I let you take risks?"

"Come on, look at Your Highness quickly!"

Cheng Chumo said loudly: "If something happens to His Highness, it is your responsibility."

As soon as this was said, the guards brought out from the East Palace stared straight at Li Chengqian, for fear that he would mess up.

If something happened to Li Chengqian, those guards would be the first to die.

"Okay, okay, let's find a guard and try it out!"

Li Yi'an finally came over and said: "If you continue to mess around like this, I will go into the palace and tell His Majesty now, and I will completely cut off your miss."

These words finally suppressed Li Chengqian, so he could only order a guard to go up.

The guard didn't dare either, but he didn't dare not to go. Sitting on the basket of the hot air balloon, and letting the rope be loosened, the wind blew and he flew up into the sky. The feeling was really exciting.

"Big fire, or there won't be enough motivation to go up!"

Li Chengqian shouted loudly, this was designed by himself, and he knew exactly how to use it.

The guards did so, and the fire boomed, and the swaying hot air balloon finally stabilized and flew slowly into the sky.

"Your Highness, it succeeded, it really succeeded!"

Seeing that the hot air balloon tended to stabilize, the guards were no longer afraid, and shouted from high above.

"Your Highness, it's really flying!"

"It turns out that His Highness is not lying. Hot air balloons can really fly. It's amazing...it's amazing!"

They were all harmed in Chang'an, and they all exclaimed.

The rest of the guards, the craftsmen in the nearby factory, heard the shouts, and they all came out at the same time. Looking at the hot air balloon that was still rising, and the guard flying in the sky, they rubbed their eyes in disbelief, thinking they were dreaming.

"Your Highness, this is... the means of a god!"

Soon there were others cheering.

When Li Chengqian heard that he didn't know how useful it was, his face was full of pride, and then he shouted loudly, asking the guard in the air to turn down the fire and land slowly.

The moment the hot air balloon descended, Li Yi'an also had to admire Li Chengqian's hands-on ability.

If placed in later generations, he would definitely be an inventor.

"Sir, and the fireworks!"

Li Chengqian thought of another thing, he had never been able to do it well, and he almost blew up this place yesterday.

"I will change the fireworks for you later. This is the first time and the last time. After finishing it, you have to learn how to govern the country, you know?"

Li Yian said seriously.

"I see, thank you sir for your fulfillment!"

Li Chengqian responded quickly, and then ran over to toss the hot air balloon that landed, to see if there was anything else that could be improved.

"Chumo, Baolin, go back and call General Cheng and General Yuchi for me."

Li Yi'an thought about it, and then said: "I have an important matter to discuss with them. If they refuse to come, just say that there is a chance to make a lot of money. If they don't come, I will play by myself."

Those envoys from the west are like walking purses.

Foreigners' money is not earned for nothing.
