Chapter 1468: Go up and see the great rivers and mountains of our Song Dynasty (first update)
Chapter 1477

After slowly entering the side hall, Xiao Wuna squinted his eyes and looked at the clean blue sky. Although the sun was bright, he could not feel a trace of warmth.

After persuading for so long, the submissive look of Emperor Taisun Yelu Yanxi really disappointed Xiao Wuna. He originally hoped that Emperor Taisun could become a wise emperor of Liao Dynasty and save the great empire that was about to collapse. Liaojiang Shansheji.

Now it seems that Yelu Yanxi, the emperor's grandson who is soft in ears but cowardly in nature and unwilling to take responsibility, is by no means the best candidate for the emperor of Daliao.

However, His Majesty has only one son, Yelu Jun, the prince of Zhaohuai with a strong personality, but he has already become the ghost of the traitor Yelu Yixin, and the only one alive is His Royal Highness, the grandson of the emperor.

Think about the other two monarchs I have met, Zhao Xu, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, who are brave and courageous, have high ambitions, and really have the appearance of a hero.And Li Ganshun, the lord of the Western Xia Dynasty, is a very scheming man even though he is full of annoyance.

Compared with these two, the demeanor of the grandson Yelu Yanxi is really disappointing.

Let it go, no matter how much you say, what's the use? It's just the so-called doing your best and obeying the destiny.I only hope that the oaks of the Daliao Kingdom will last forever and last forever.

With a long sigh, Xiao Wuna continued to walk outside the palace.At this time, a young official was coming towards the side hall excitedly, and when he saw Xiao Wuna, he did not dare to neglect, and saluted Xiao Wuna.

"I've seen adults."

"It turned out to be Xiao Fengxian, you are..." Xiao Wuna also recognized this person, it was Xiao Fengxian, the elder brother of Xiao Duolilan, the concubine of the emperor's grandson, and Xiao Gui, the side concubine.

This person is handsome in appearance, but he is a little ignorant. Since the emperor's grandson was ordered to assist the government, he has frequently asked the emperor's grandson to ask for an official.

"This official is here to pay his respects to His Royal Highness, the grandson. Then I will take my leave first..." Xiao Feng first saw Xiao Wuna's indifferent appearance, and after a haha, he went straight away with Xiao Wuna .

Glancing at Xiao Fengxian's back, Xiao Wuna felt even more helpless. In the past, His Majesty had many treacherous courtiers like Yelu Renxian, Yelu Yixin, and Xiao Shen by his side, but now, why is there not by the emperor's grandson?

As time progressed, it was already the three-month period of fireworks. At this time, the Huanglongze area was no longer the wild swamp with wild birds and beasts everywhere.

There are neat rows of two-story houses with black tiles and white walls, and straight blue-grey cement roads.And the various vehicles that shuttle back and forth.

It makes this place look very lively, and the small island in the middle of the lake, which was originally lush and lush, has already undergone many expansions, and now it has become a large island with an area of ​​about three miles in length and width.

There are many more buildings on the island, and the connection between the island in the middle of the lake and the outside world can only be accessed by ferry.The possibility of being disturbed and peeped is minimized.

But today, the four members of Tianzi's family quietly appeared on the wharf of the island in the middle of the lake in casual clothes.The three members of His Royal Highness Na Duan Wang's family and Wang Yang's family members also came together by boat.

In addition, Wang Yang's disciples, as well as the current honorary headmaster Su Song and the headmaster Shen Kuo of the Great Song Yuanyou Academy were all present.

"Although I think there is no problem with the principle that Wang Wushan said, but I am still a little worried about letting such a big thing carry people into the sky..." Su Song, the white-bearded grandfather, bowed his head and walked beside him after paying homage to the emperor Shen Kuo communicated in a low voice.

"I don't think there is a big problem. We have conducted several test flights before. Look at the flying ball samples that were tested. Although they are smaller in size than this one, they have all been successful, and they have even successfully carried people. Today Surely there will be no difference."

Shen Kuo shook his head with a smile. Su Song has only been here for a few days, so he doesn't quite believe it, but it's normal. Unlike him, he has seen hot air balloons take off many times.

He even participated in the later improvements. Now, the hot air balloon placed in the open space is very large. Below it is a large bamboo basket made of light and strong bamboo. .

But even though it looks like a huge monster, it is extremely light in weight. In order to lose weight, they also racked their brains.

For example, except that the bottom of the bamboo basket is completely airtight, the surrounding guardrails are just a few uprights woven together, and then connected with hemp rope.

The only heavy ones are the large iron stove used to burn kerosene and a blower.In addition, the kerosene that needs to be refilled during the flight is not filled in clay pots or porcelain altars.

Because the two containers were too heavy, they were replaced with leather bags. A leather bag was loaded with about ten catties of kerosene. According to previous calculations, this large flying ball needs nearly six catties of kerosene every quarter of an hour in the air. The heat produced by burning oil.

In addition, a corner of the bamboo basket was covered with a tarpaulin, but Wang Yang did not take the initiative to introduce it, so everyone present did not pay attention to what was there.

At this moment, Wang Yang was not standing among the crowd, but was standing in the center of the hot air balloon, directing his disciples and craftsmen to carry out final checks on every part of the hot air balloon, making sure that each rope, each The hooks have been completely fixed without any omissions.

After confirming, Wang Yang finally announced loudly when he saw the sandbags weighing one to five hundred catties piled up in the bamboo basket, and took a look at the iron stove and blower that had been fixed. "All irrelevant people are waiting to leave the bamboo basket and prepare to start lighting the fire!"

"I don't know which ones are willing to go up with Wang to see the great rivers and mountains of my Song Dynasty?" Wang Yang watched the kerosene stove being ignited, and under the action of the blower, the hot air balloon began to inflate slowly. .

"Daddy, me, me, me!" Wang Zhiyuan raised his hand and yelled loudly. As for Wang Wenwan, he didn't say anything at all, but ran straight for a few steps, directly through the gap of the hemp rope railing. He got in and stared back at Wang Zhiyuan, the silly younger brother. Naturally, we should do such a thing before we talk about it.

Wang Zhiyuan rushed over quickly, crawling and crawling, and the cat's waist also got in. As for Li Qingzhao and others, they just watched with smiles and didn't stop them. After all, these three charming and charming women have already gone to the sky. Several times, the initial panic has long since become habitual.

"Father, Queen Mother, and sons also want to go up, and I ask Father for permission..." Originally, Zhao Shu was a little timid, but when he saw that Miss Wang Wenwan had already boarded the hot air balloon, his head suddenly felt hot. He turned his head and said to his father and mother.

"This..." Empress Meng looked at the hot air balloon, and couldn't help but glance at her husband with some worry.

Emperor Zhao Xu squatted down, held Zhao Shu's hand and asked with a smile. "You want to go up too?"

"Well, Miss Wen Wan has such guts. Master and Senior Brother Wang also want to go up, and my son wants to go up too..." Zhao Shu nodded vigorously, looked over there eagerly and said.

"Officials, why don't we go up with Mr. Wang to have a look first?" Ma Shang, who was afraid of something unexpected, swallowed his saliva, and stood up bravely.

"No, I can do it, okay? Father, Queen Mother..." Zhao Shu shook his head resolutely, gently tugged at Father's lapel and pleaded softly.
