Chapter 696: The Disadvantages of Hot Air Balloons
After several days of continuous interrogation, interrogation, follow-up visits, and testing, even some doctors outside the palace were invited to see it. Whether it was the Ministry of Justice, whether it was the important officials in the court who were very concerned about this matter, the emperor, and the number of princes and princesses in the palace, they all came to the same conclusion.
That is, Li You, King Qi, was really crazy.
As for the date of his madness, the Imperial Doctors in the Imperial Physicians were not sure, and the idle doctors outside the palace had no choice but to mention those important officials in the court who were in high positions but had no medical skills. Therefore, whether it was sincere or half-doubted, almost everyone accepted the statement that Liu Yi had stated when he first diagnosed King Qi. As early as a month ago, King Qi was already crazy.
Therefore, the rebellion of King Qi should have nothing to do with Li You himself. Most of the time his subordinates were doing things that took advantage of the crazy things of King Qi and supported the army with the Lord.
In this matter, few people would raise objections. First, few people are more skilled in medical skills than Liu Yi, a miracle doctor. 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's stubborn and upright old stubborn man. After confirming that King Li You of Qi was really crazy, he questioned Mr. Liu's statement, but he still held back and closed his mouth.
Since the madness of King Li You of Qi has become a fact, it would be a bit unwise to ignore this date like before.
Others understand the emperor's thoughts, and Wei Zheng could not understand them. It was nothing more than trying to save the life of the King of Qi and eliminate the bad scandal of the son rebelling against his father, the minister rebelling against the king, and the prince rebelling with troops.
Although Wei Zheng was stubborn and always bold, he had been in the court for more than ten years, which was enough to show that he was not a fool. Since he knew that this matter was beneficial to the reputation of the court and the emperor's reputation, why could he not learn from Liu Yiu's previous actions and be a gentleman with adult beauty?
Therefore, after being diagnosed with Li You's true condition, Old Man Wei kept recuperating at home under the name of illness, and no longer asked about the matters that followed.
Wei Dabang was like this, let alone others. Therefore, the rebellion of King Qi was handled smoothly, without even a small obstacle. Li You was acquitted, and all the generals under Li You were sentenced to death. As well as those soldiers who were lucky enough to die in the fight against the rebellion, they were even more lucky to be sentenced to innocent.
Although such a result is not very satisfying, it will not arouse public anger. In general, Li Shimin, the wise king, was quite satisfied. He was as clear as a mirror, and in his heart, he directly put the greatest contribution to the miracle doctor Liu Yiuan.
After all, if it weren't for Liu Yi's original diagnosis and Liu Yi's assertion of Li You's illness, all this would definitely be worse than the current situation of taking advantage of people's wishes, family scandals, curses, and their own blood and life, which would follow.
As for whether Liu Yi secretly caused the crazy incident of King Qi, Li Shimin no longer wanted to care too much. After all, pretending to be confused is sometimes a good choice.
Just imagine, if the King of Qi was not crazy, he would be a murderer for tyranny and pretend to be crazy and foolish, he would be a deceiving emperor. Liu Yi had some trouble at this time, and it was also the rebellious son who deserved the crime. It was not a bad thing that the royal family could use this to make a fuss about family sluts.
If King Qi goes crazy, Liu Yi can truly repay him, and he will make a decision to make the date of his madness and return the innocence of King Qi in the court. That is also a great achievement.
So, no matter how you say it or think about it, Liu Yiu-Yuan's contributions cannot be escaped in this matter.
After the punishment of merit and reward, the rewards are clearly distinguished. So after Li You's case was settled, Li Shimin remembered the reward of Liu Yi, how to reward and what to reward. After all, some things cannot be said in public. If the reward is heavy, it will inevitably be suspicious of others. If the reward is light and it is difficult to explain in terms of face, it will inevitably be disappointing to the mind of the miracle doctor.
"Report to the Emperor," Just as Li Shimin, the wise king, was worried about rewarding Liu Yijie, the eunuch general manager Li Ran came in from outside to report, saying, "Mr. Tao Yan, the Minister of Works, was asking for a visit outside the hall."
"Noisy!" There was something serious about it, Li Shimin calmly turned his mind and came to his senses, and told Li Ran. After a while, he saw Old Man Tao walking slowly from the palace with a small step.
"I pay homage to the emperor!" He bent over and bowed respectfully to Li Shimin, and Tao Yande asked for a look.
"Well, it's Aiqing Tao, let's sit aside." Waving his hand, Tao Yande was about to sit down, Li Shimin looked up at the old man and asked him directly: "I heard from you a few days ago that the 'hot air balloon' has been made, right?"
In the previous episode, Li Shimin was irritated and had a little confused mind because Li You was just in trouble. He did not take Tao Yan's return to heart, so after he gave some free gifts, he put them aside.
Now that the rain has passed, the rebellion of King Qi has been judged. Li Shimin, the wise king, has also begun to return to the Qingming Festival in the past. When he remembered how to reward Liu Yi, he suddenly remembered this "hot air balloon". I remember that when this "hot air balloon" first came up, it was Liu Yi that he first mentioned?
"Reply to the emperor," Tao Yande suddenly felt happy when he saw the emperor mentioning the "hot air balloon" again. After waiting for so many days and waiting for so many hours, the emperor and he finally remembered this incident again.
Thinking of the words that Li Chunfeng gave him when he visited him two days ago, Tao Yande's heart couldn't help but jump up. It was not as Li Chunfeng said, "He has been promoted to the boss of Tao, right?"
Thinking of this, Tao Yande couldn't help but feel a little excited. After bowing to Li Shimin, he said, "The emperor is right. After all my colleagues in the Ministry of Works and nearly a thousand soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, they have been sleepless for three consecutive months. After one death, two disabled and two hundred injured, and two hundred "hot air balloons", they were conceived and designed by Mr. Liu, and the Ministry of Works is responsible for the experimental modification. The huge Kongming lantern that was enough to fly with several people to the sky, was completed!"
Before, because he happened to be in the case of Li You going crazy, Tao Yande did not have time to report in detail to Li Shimin. The memorial he submitted was probably not much based on the emperor's mood at that time. Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity now, the old man's mouth began to nag continuously.
"Your Majesty, you didn't see it," Tao Yande said without stopping, "It was made of 'hot air balloon' that day. When I was driving on the test flight, it rose with the wind and swayed thousands of miles away. When I overlooked my Tang Dynasty territory, it was so spectacular..."
"Oh? Tao Aiqing has tried it too?" Hearing Tao Yande's words aroused Li Shimin's curiosity. He looked at Tao Yande with interest. The Mingjun asked, "Can you really rise with the wind and soar in the sky?"
Before the things were released, Li Shimin was full of longing for them. After the things were made, Li Shimin felt a little disbelief of them. Can this person really fly over the nine heavens?
"Elevation and decline are all at ease. If the emperor has time, he can go with the ministers to test flight." Those who have not flown above the nine heavens will never be able to experience the pleasure and comfort in the sky. In order to allow the emperor to experience the results developed by their Ministry of Works as soon as possible, Tao Yande wished that Li Shimin, the wise king, could sit on the "hot air balloon" immediately.
"Then, let's set it for tomorrow," Li Shimin felt a little itchy when Old Man Tao said it, and he couldn't wait to get up: "At that time, remember to bring Mr. Liu with him. This 'hot air balloon' is originally done by him, and he has made great contributions to this matter."
"The emperor said yes, I will go to invite Mr. Liu later." Tao Yande replied softly. If the emperor hadn't spoken before, the old man would have been unable to help but want to invite Liu Yi to the camp to take a look and give advice. After all, he is the founder of this "hot air balloon". Maybe after seeing it, he might be able to make some better suggestions.
"However, the emperor," Tao Yande's expression began to hesitate when he remembered something. He looked at Li Shimin carefully and whispered: "There is something about this 'hot air balloon' that I don't know whether I should talk to the emperor."
"Oh? Why, is there any problem here?" Li Shimin said to Tao Yande with a voice: "Tao Aiqing, just say it's defenseless."
"Your Majesty," Tao Yande looked up at Li Shimin again, and then made up his mind to bow and replied to him: "This 'hot air balloon' can take people to heaven and soar over the nine heavens. I have experienced it myself, but after thousands of test flights, I also discovered 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 cannot go against the wind. Moreover, a 'hot air balloon' can only carry ten people at most. If it is used for military use, it will be a bit inconvenient."
"Hmm? There is still this matter?" Li Shimin frowned slightly. If it was as Tao Yande said, then this "hot air balloon" would be really not suitable for military use.
"I haven't seen it for a few minutes. Mr. Li's style is still the same. I'm polite here!" When he learned that Li Chunfeng was visiting the house, Mrs. Luo, with her son and Lao Liu, who were chatting with him in the hall, came out of the hall.
"Lady Luo, General Luo, Chunfeng is polite here! Come uninvited, so much trouble!" Seeing the master coming out, Li Chunfeng took two steps, walked around Luo Xiang, bowed and greeted the master, and nodded to show his strange faces, Liu Laoshi, Liu He and Liu Xiaohui, as well as Liu Xiaohui. He had seen him.
"Haha, Mr. Li is polite. It is my lucky for me to come to the mansion. Please tell me about it in the hall!" He reached out and turned his hand and asked Li Chunfeng to sit in the hall with a smile. Luo Tong, Lao Liu and his wife, and Xiao Hui and others were following behind.
"General Luo, don't know who this one is?" Lao Liu gently pulled Luo Tong's sleeve from behind and said, "If it is inconvenient, the three of us will not go in, so as not to miss the etiquette."
Seeing Mrs. Luo's politeness and respect for the visitor, Lao Liu knew that the person who came must be a distinguished guest. He was worried that those who had never met anything would lose their thoughts in front of the distinguished guest of the Luo Mansion.
"What is Uncle Liu saying? In our own home, there is no reason to avoid guests." Seeing what Lao Liu was thinking, Luo Tong turned around and smiled and persuaded two old men. He turned his head to look at Li Chunfeng who was walking into the hall, and said honestly to Liu: "Besides, today, being lucky enough to meet Mr. Li in person is a great opportunity for Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu and Sister Xiao Hui, and she must not miss it. You must know that if Mr. Li is put in the past, he will be a distinguished guest who can't even invite him."
"Although Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu had not lived in Chang'an for a long time, I would have heard about Mr. Li's affairs," Luo Tong said in a statement that he saw the doubts on the face of Mr. Liu He, Luo Tong said, "This gentleman is Chang'an Shenju, Li Chunfeng."
"Li Chunfeng? That disciple of Master Yuan?" Old Liu and Liu He opened their mouths together when they heard this. They did not expect that they would have the honor to see the legendary godlike figure here.
"It's him," Seeing that they had heard it, Luo Tong did not have to explain to them again. Seeing that my mother and Li Chunfeng had been in for a long time, he hurriedly reached out to invite Lao Liu and his wife, saying, "Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu, let's go in quickly, don't let Mr. Li wait in the hall for a long time."
"Yeah, yes, my nephew said, you can't let the immortal master wait for us, let's go in quickly." Compared to those who know the root of Luo Tong, Liu Laoshi and Liu He's understanding of Li Chunfeng is like rumors in the countryside. They can know that the living gods who have been around for five hundred years, and they must not be neglected.
After saying that, the four people stepped into the hall one after another, and sat in the hall according to the superior, inferior, guest, and master.
"Looking at the current look of the old lady, the red light reflects the top, and good fortune comes from the east. I guess I have met that noble man." After taking the tea handed over by the servant, Li Chunfeng took a sip, looked up his eyes and looked at Luo Qi's face, and said out loud: "The old lady will no longer have to suffer from the cold and warmth of the wind and the cold, and at most next year, she will be like an ordinary person."
"Thanks to Mr. Li's words, my body has become much stronger in the past six months." Hearing Li Chunfeng say this, Luo Qi couldn't help but remember the fate that Mr. Li told him five years ago.
"If you have good fortune, but your life is weak, your body is precious, and your body is weak. If you don't have noble people to support you, your life will be worrying after five years."
The fate of life is worrying. To put it bluntly, it means whether you can have a life in five years is a big deal, let alone health and longevity.
"In this way, the son-in-law of Lao Shi is really a noble man." Thinking of the various things that happened in General Luo's mansion since he met Liu Yi and his wife, Luo Qi nodded and chuckled, "Well, it's not only him, but also the son-in-law of Lao Shi, who is also the noble man in Lao Shi's destiny. If it weren't for the intention of the couple, the fate of Lao Shi would be as bad as Mr. Li said five years ago."
"Dare you ask the son-in-law that the old lady mentioned is Liu Yi and Mr. Liu?" Asked knowingly, Li Chunfeng asked with the situation: "I don't know where Mr. Liu is now?"
"That child," said Mrs. Luo, who was smiling in her face when she mentioned her son-in-law. She covered her teacup with her hands and said softly: "I went to Brother Qin, Duke Yi. Brother Qin's body is not good yet. Now I can't live without a child to take care of him."
As he said that, the old lady looked outside the hall and said, "However, looking at the sky is almost noon, it's already long and he's coming back. If Mr. Li has time, I hope Mr. Li can wait for a while here so that he can meet him in person."
"That's better," Li Chunfeng chuckled and said without hiding it, "I don't care about it. The old lady knows that Chunfeng visited the mansion this time, mostly to meet Mr. Liu, and wanted to ask him for advice in person for some questions."
What rice stuff?
Li Chunfeng's words made everyone in the hall look stunned, surprised, and surprised, especially Lao Liu and Liu He, who were even more disbelief, and thought there was something wrong with his ears. How could a person as fairy as Li Chunfeng bend over to ask their eldest son for advice?
Although I had known that their eldest son had some skills, he had the ability to even the legendary living god had to ask him for advice. Lao Liu and his wife couldn't accept it for a while.
"Hey, who is this little girl?" When he was speaking, out of a professional habit, Li Chunfeng's eyes turned casually on the faces of several people in the hall. When he saw Liu Xiaohui moving around Liu He's legs, Li Chunfeng's eyes couldn't help but pause, and then he asked Mrs. Luo.
"She is the youngest of the Liu family, Xiaohui." Luo Qi was happy when he heard that Li Chunfeng asked Liu Xiaohui's name on his own initiative. After introducing him, he respectfully said to Li Chunfeng: "I don't know, but I have seen something? I hope he can give me some advice."
"Sir, please give me advice and give me some advice!" After hearing Mrs. Luo's words, Lao Liu and Liu He both felt nervous, and at the same time there was an unexpected surprise. They both turned their heads to look at Li Chunfeng, with their eyes full of expectation.
