Emperor of the Red Chamber

Chapter 40 Long live my emperor

"Ouch, my neck is sore!"

Emperor Jing'an screamed quietly in his heart.

He had been looking up at the sky for a long time and also used a telescope, which put a lot of pressure on his old neck.

In fact, many people present had sore necks.

Even though his neck was sore, Emperor Jing'an endured the discomfort and continued to look up at the hot air balloon in the sky.

Almost everyone else with sore necks is like this.

Moreover, a funny scene happened...

Yuan Qingliang, Yuan Qingbai and a group of craftsmen moved towards the possible landing site according to the situation of the hot air balloon slowly falling in the air, preparing to respond.

Emperor Jing'an wanted to see the hot air balloon land with his own eyes and see Dai Jin safe.

Ever since, he couldn't help but catch up with Yuan Qingliang and Yuan Qingbai.

Everyone also wanted to see it. In addition, even Emperor Jing'an chased after him, so everyone also chased after him.

This included the third prince and even concubines such as Concubine Yi.

It was inconvenient for Concubine Yi and other concubines to see the foreign man, but they wanted to follow him to see the excitement of the hot air balloon landing and to see if the flying man was okay.

Concubine Yi is usually a dignified person, but this time the hot air balloon was developed by her grandson Qing Bai, which made her pay special attention to it.

Several concubines and a group of palace maids tried their best to avoid the foreign men and watch the hot air balloon land...

For a time, the noise in Dangchun Garden was like boiling gruel.

Soon, the hot air balloon was no longer very high from the ground.

Seeing that the hot air balloon was slowly falling, it was no longer likely that a tragedy would happen, and the seventh prince felt extremely anxious.

The seventh prince could not wait to find a bow and arrow at short notice, and draw a few arrows into the hot air balloon. Of course, he only dared to think this way in his heart.

Because the wind was light and Dangchun Garden was very large, the hot air balloon that soared to a height of 500 meters actually landed in a corner inside the tall wall of Dangchun Garden instead of falling further outside the garden.

However, it was only a few meters away from falling to the outside of the courtyard wall.

Oh, we landed safely!

Emperor Jing'an, the third prince, Yuan Qingliang, and Yuan Qingbai all breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, they all felt strong joy in their hearts.

Even the third prince felt strong joy, because he knew that the hot air balloon carrying people to the sky today was of great significance...

Yuan Qingliang, Yuan Qingbai and a group of craftsmen were in the corner beside the wall of the tall courtyard, welcoming the hot air balloon and Dai Jin who had landed safely.

After confirming that Dai Jin was safe and sound, Yuan Qingliang and Yuan Qingbai led Dai Jin to Emperor Jing'an, who was already beaming with joy.

Yuan Qingbai saluted and said loudly: "Today we succeeded in carrying people into the sky with a hot air balloon. I would like to express my special birthday to the emperor's grandfather. I wish my emperor's grandfather to be as blessed as the East China Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains!"

Yuan Qingliang hurriedly followed and said loudly: "I wish the emperor's grandfather good health and longevity!"

Dai Jin knelt down and wanted to say a few auspicious words loudly to wish Emperor Jing'an a happy birthday. However, his status was too low and he knew that he was not in a position to say such words at the moment.

"Get up quickly." Emperor Jing'an smiled and asked the three of them to stand up, and then said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I didn't expect that in my old age, I would still be able to see my two good emperors and grandsons show me the flying sky and help me. Happy birthday."

Emperor Jing'an smiled again and said: "I like this special birthday gift today very much!" Not only did he like this birthday gift very much, he even wanted to fly in a hot air balloon himself...

He is an emperor who has always had an adventurous spirit. He has done a lot of adventurous things in his life. He has led military expeditions, hunted tigers and bears, and traveled incognito...

But at the moment, this adventurous idea was just a thought for him.

No matter how adventurous he was, he would never fly in a hot air balloon himself.

This thing is not guaranteed, not to mention that he is already in his twilight years and his skin is gray and his hair is gray.

In fact, the hot air balloon currently developed by Yuan Qingbai has safety issues.

In his previous life, hot air balloons were classified as the safest aircraft, with a very high safety factor.

The hot-air balloon currently developed by Yuan Qingbai is very rough, has poor wind resistance and short duration, and needs continuous improvement.

Emperor Jing'an asked Yuan Qingbai: "Qingbai, did you say before that this hot air balloon can be used in combat?"

Yuan Qingbai said respectfully: "Back to the emperor's grandfather, this hot air balloon can indeed be used in combat. It can be used with a telescope to detect the enemy's situation in the sky."

"During combat reconnaissance, the hot air balloon can be tied with a long rope so that the hot air balloon will not float far away."

"You can also prepare more hot air balloons during combat. When one lands, another one will rise, and so on, you can conduct reconnaissance in the sky for a long time."

"In addition, the hot air balloon created this time is still rough and can be improved. After improvement, it will be less dangerous and can last longer in the air."

Emperor Jing'an nodded and said: "That's very good. With this hot air balloon, I will have the advantage of reconnaissance in the sky on the battlefield after the Great Zhou Dynasty."

At this time, Tang Chengyuan, the minister of the South Study Room, couldn't help but speak.

I saw him saying loudly: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, for receiving such a special and precious birthday gift today!"

"Throughout the ages, there have always been legends of flying sky, but those are limited to legends. No one has ever really seen flying sky. But today, in our Great Zhou Jing'an Dynasty, someone flew into the sky!"

"Today's hot air balloon carries people to the sky, which is a miraculous feat. It indicates that our Great Zhou Dynasty is in its prosperous age. Such a feat is only possible because of the divine support from heaven. This is the blessing of our Great Zhou subjects!"

After saying this flattery, Tang Chengyuan immediately knelt on the ground and solemnly shouted: "Long live my emperor!"

With Tang Chengyuan taking the lead, other princes, princes and ministers could not pretend to be dumbfounded. They all knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "Long live my emperor!"

The cold-faced Third Prince, who could not help but be happy, also knelt down and shouted: "Long live my emperor."

The other princes and grandsons also knelt down and shouted.

Seeing this situation, Yuan Qingliang and Yuan Qingbai kneeled down and shouted: "Long live my emperor!"

The fifth prince, the seventh prince, and the eleventh prince, you looked at me, and I looked at you. Although the three of them were extremely reluctant, they all knelt down and shouted: "Long live my emperor!"

Many eunuchs, maids, guards, officers and soldiers also knelt down and shouted: "Long live my emperor!"

For a moment, in the Dangchun Garden of Nuo Da, shouts of "Long live my emperor, long live the emperor" echoed through the sky like mountains and tsunamis.

Although Emperor Jing'an had experienced scenes like this many times in his life, he was still excited and excited by this scene.

Flying to the sky, such a feat, I, Emperor Jing'an, have been blessed by heaven, I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, are in a prosperous age, and my subjects of the Great Zhou Dynasty are blessed...

My dear grandson Qing Bainiu, well, Qingliang has also wasted a lot of effort this time...
