Datang: Acting as a celestial mystery at the beginning

On the last day of October, in the afternoon.

In the West Inner Garden of the Imperial City, Li Shimin held a grand banquet for all the Western envoys who came to Chang'an.

Before today, Li Shimin had met them several times, but this grand banquet was held for the first time, and it was so lively that even Li Yi'an, the county uncle, was invited to participate.

Around the turn of Weishi and Shenshi, everyone was there.

Li Shimin announced that the banquet to welcome foreign envoys had officially begun, but he looked around suspiciously and found out why Li Chengqian hadn't come yet?

But the banquet had already started, Li Shimin just asked someone to find him, so he couldn't leave at will.

"Sir, Your Highness said, let us watch a good show later!"

The eldest grandson suddenly came over and said.

They sat behind the group of officials, in an inconspicuous place. This was Li Yi'an's initiative, and he didn't want to appear in front of Kong Yingda and the others, lest they couldn't help but confront him again.

Hearing this, Li Yi'an looked forward curiously, and found that next to Li Shimin, the crown prince's position was indeed vacant, and Changsun Chong was the only one left among the four evils in Chang'an.

Thinking of what Li Chengqian once said about envoys, blockbusters, etc., he felt that later, His Royal Highness, the restless prince, would give them another job.

Or to work in this kind of situation, he doesn't even want to be a prince, does he?

"Why are you the only one here, and Cheng Chumo and the others?" Li Yi'an asked.

"I was lucky. I escaped. They were all captured by the prince."

Chang Sun Chong said with some gloat: "If I'm not wrong, Li Dejian and the three of them will definitely go back tonight and get beaten up."

It's just that what he said made Li Yi'an feel inexplicably flustered.

Li Chengqian and the others are all Li Yi'an's disciples, if something happens, he will not be pushed to the forefront, and then he will be impeached and scolded to death by those old censors and Zhan Shifu people.

Just when he wanted to ask clearly what Li Chengqian was going to do, someone raised his head and exclaimed: "Look, what is in the sky?"

What suddenly appeared in the sky was not only seen by one person, but many officials in the field also felt something flying from above and looked up at the same time.

They saw a hollow canvas, with a huge basket hanging from it, and between them, a burning flame floating in the air.

There seemed to be people on the basket, and they counted carefully, there were five people in total.

This is Li Chengqian's and his team's hot air balloon, and the five people above are naturally Li Chengqian and his team.

Li Yi'an saw the hot air balloon blowing towards him with the breeze, and thought to himself that it really is, this is what Li Chengqian said about soaring into the sky.

I hope that this method of flying into the sky can calm down everyone below, and I also pray for success, and don't cause any accidents, or suddenly fall from the sky, otherwise he will also be in trouble.

Being the prince's teacher is very stressful!

The other officials didn't know what a hot air balloon was, and they were all surprised, thinking that something with such a special shape can also carry people into the sky. Is this a fairy trick?

They took a closer look, and the people above looked familiar.

"Too...His Royal Highness, that is His Royal Highness!"

Immediately, everyone in the field boiled up.

The prince can fly, how is this possible!

The people around His Royal Highness also looked familiar, and soon they found out that this was not Li Jing's son, Cheng Yaojin's son, or Yuchi Jingde's son?

"Pauline...how did he fly into the sky?"

Yuchi Jingde was stunned.

Li Jing immediately stood up, stared at the sky with his eyes wide open.

Their son will fly to the sky with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Could it be that they are all masters of immortality?

In other words, His Royal Highness has been favored by heaven and earth, and will take off with people.

Changsun Wuji was stunned, why didn't his son fly with them?This is an opportunity!

"Two, calm down!"

Cheng Yaojin seemed to have forgotten the fact that he was so frightened that his legs went limp, and said with a smile: "This is a hot air balloon made by my husband. I went to see my husband yesterday, and I was lucky enough to fly once."

Both Li Jing and Li Jing looked at Cheng Yaojin in astonishment.

It's Mister's stuff again, how many people must be surprised by Mister's fairy method!

"This... this is a hot air balloon!"

After Kong Yingda recovered, he also recognized what a hot air balloon looked like, and shouted in surprise: "Can a hot air balloon really take people into the sky?"

He felt his face being pressed and rubbed against the ground, and for a moment he couldn't do anything except shock.

Yu Zhining opened his mouth wide and didn't know how to close it for a while, muttering to himself: "Impossible, people can't fly!"

It was also the first time for Li Shimin to see a real hot air balloon, which directly overturned his cognition. It turns out that people can really fly into the sky, not just a fairy tale, but at this moment his mind became frenzied.

Those Western envoys didn't know how to describe their mood at the moment, they kept talking in their language, and looked at the sky full of awe and respect.

After letting the hot air balloon float for a while, Li Chengqian gave the order to land, and it landed slowly on the open space between their banquets.

Li Yi'an finally wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead, this brat didn't have any accidents, if Li Chengqian fell, he would be a sinner of Datang.

The only thing he was worried about was this.

As soon as Li Chengqian and the others came down, the flight test guards turned off the fire, and then several people came in and dragged everything out.

Before they could say anything, the group of western envoys suddenly stepped forward and bowed to Li Chengqian and the others.

In their cognition, only gods can fly into the sky, which is to regard Li Chengqian and others as gods.

Li Daozong and other people from Honglu Temple didn't know how to explain and translate to them, so they had to persuade them to go back, and said that the person who could fly was their prince of the Tang Dynasty, not some god.

As for the interpreter at Honglu Temple, he was recruited from the Western Regions.

Now the envoys were even more shocked, saying that the crown prince was the chosen one, the person favored by the heavens, the gods descended to earth, etc. Honglu Temple and others had to translate accordingly.

When Li Shimin heard this, all the surprise disappeared at the same time, and he was overjoyed.

This is an absolutely good thing to show my great power of the Tang Dynasty. He didn't expect Li Chengqian to do this.

Li Shimin was still a little angry just now, thinking that it was the rebellious son, now put this kind of thought behind him.

"Is this a hot air balloon?"

Li Shimin asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, yes!"

In such a formal occasion, it is inconvenient for Li Chengqian to call too casually.

"Okay, great!"

Li Shimin suppressed his excitement and pretended to be indifferent: "Prince, come here, and Cheng Chumo, you all did a good job, the banquet has begun, take your seat quickly, and I will reward you in the future!"

As for why there were only three people including Li Dejian, where did Changsun Chong go?

Li Shimin was a little curious, but he didn't delve into it.

But Changsun Wuji didn't think so.

Among them, there is no elder Sun Chong.

Such an opportunity to show off and show off in front of His Majesty, how dare Chang Sun Chong not participate in it?

In Changsun Wuji's heart, he scolded Changsun Chong over and over again, his face was as dark as a dark cloud.

That rebel!

Go back and see you!

They must beat you until you cannot get out of bed for three days.

"Auxiliary machine, the grandson and nephew are smart! He knows that flying high will be dangerous, so he didn't go there at all, unlike my brat, who is not sensible at all. Go back and see how I can teach him a lesson."

Cheng Yaojin added fuel to the fire.

Li Jing and Yuchi Jingde nodded in agreement.

Changsun Wuji's face became even darker.
