Chapter 303 – Chang’An Urgent Report!
Concubine Yin was punished, and Li Yin felt a little more balanced in his heart, and Li Shimin and Empress Changsun did not favor Concubine Yin, which made Li Yin feel that the two were fair. He originally planned to continue to toss Concubine Yin for two days, but look For Li Shimin’s sake, forget it, but if Concubine Yin still doesn’t know what to do, he might as well make this self-righteous woman suffer a lot.
Leave this unpleasant incident aside, Li Yin continued to accompany Li Shimin to visit mountains and rivers in the fief for a month, including Qingcheng Mountain, where Li Shimin saw Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng.
“The two priests are safe and sound!” Li Shimin said when he saw them.
“Thanks to your majesty’s concern, my master and apprentice are all well.” Yuan Tiangang said, they didn’t expect Li Shimin to appear in this place, and looked at Li Yin, who just showed a helpless expression.
When Li Shimin used to be in Chang’an, he often talked about poetry and Taoism with the two of them. Now that they met again, Li Shimin seemed to have found some kind of sustenance, and dragged Yuan Tiangang into a large hall. He didn’t know what to talk about.
Li Yin shook his head. Li Shimin still did not give up on the way of longevity. Although he had given up taking pills under Li Yin’s persuasion, he was still looking for other ways. At that time, Li Yin could see it from Li Shimin’s face. Although Li Min agrees with the Taoist method of self-cultivation and self-cultivation, he never believes in the theory of immortality. Instead of believing in these, he would rather believe in Li Ran’s science and technology.
“Your Highness!” Li Shimin and Yuan Tiangang entered the room to discuss Taoism, while Li Chunfeng was left outside like Li Yin. After standing side by side with Li Yin for a while, Li Chunfeng suddenly spoke.
Li Yan glanced at Li Chunfeng. Now Li Chunfeng has become a veritable astronomer. Seeing the doubts in his eyes, Li Yin knew that he must have encountered doubts again, so he let Li Ran over and said to Li Chunfeng: “Is there anything you don’t understand?” Just ask him anywhere.”
Li Chunfeng was a little embarrassed. Unexpectedly, Li Yin could see through his mind at a glance, he walked aside with Li Ran as he said, and began to tell Li Ran his doubts.
Li Shimin and Yuan Tiangang came out of the room without talking for a long time, with unconcealable disappointment in their eyes, exchanged pleasantries with Yuan Tiangang, and then led everyone away, watching a group of people go down the mountain. Yuan Tiangang shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed, “How can there be immortality in this world?”
On the way back, Li Shimin was always depressed. Li Yin wanted to say something, but Wang Gui gave Li Yin a wink in time, and Li Yin understood. Don’t try to comfort him anymore. For Li Shimin, his dream of longevity is broken, it must be a bad feeling in his heart. It’s better not to bother him at this time, maybe he can figure it out by himself. Everyone returned to Yizhou. Because of this incident, Li Shimin’s mood continued to be depressed for a few days, and he stayed in the palace all the time. It wasn’t until Li Yin asked Tong Yu to drive the hot air balloon in Taoyuan to the open space in front of the Wangfu, that Li Shimin’s attention was attracted by this giant flying in the sky.
“Liulang, is this the hot air balloon you mentioned?” Li Shimin said, looking at the ten-meter-high colorful hot air balloon in surprise. Those concubines, princes and princesses were also shocked, talking a lot.
Li Yin said: “That’s right, father, this is the hot air balloon that my son said, you just need to stand on it, and it can be lifted into the sky. Father, do you want to try it?”
“Try. Of course I have to try.” Li Shimin said loudly, he has figured it out these days. Immortality is nothing more than a luxury, and then he worried: “Liulang, this will not be dangerous, right?”
Li Yan smiled and said: “Father, don’t worry, this has been checked several times, and the son-in-law has personally experienced it before, so there will be no problem.”…
Hearing this, the tense expression on Li Shimin’s face eased slightly, and he said, “Who else will go up with me?”
“I, I!” It was the little girl, Sizi, who jumped and said, this girl is so fearless, Li Yin can see through her, thinking of how many troubles she will cause him when she goes to school in Yizhou .
Li Yin glanced at the princes, and said, “Li Zhen, Li Yun, Li Zhi, don’t you want to go up?”
Li Zhen and Li Yun looked at each other, although they were afraid in their hearts, but after all, this was an opportunity to show their faces in front of Li Shimin, so they said: “We are willing to be with the father.”
Li Zhi was sweating on his forehead. He wanted to go up but didn’t dare. He stood there and opened his mouth, but finally he didn’t say anything.
“Your Majesty, Sizi and Zhinu are still young, let’s forget about it.” Empress Changsun was a little worried.
Li Shimin nodded and said: “Forget it, the two of them will have plenty of time to play this in Yizhou in the future, but we have to go back early, Queen, don’t you want to come up and experience it?”
Empress Changsun was taken aback when she heard the words, and said, “Isn’t the emperor planning to spend two months in Yizhou? Are you planning to go back after only one month?”
“Yesterday, I received an urgent report from the north, saying that Xieli was found on the grassland. This matter is very important, and I must go back early.” Li Shimin said, frowning.
Li Yin had already gotten the news about this matter through Chang’an’s shadow guards, so he was not surprised. However, the empress Changsun and other concubines turned pale, and the scene of Xieli’s siege of Chang’an ten years ago appeared to them again. In his mind, the fear he once faced also swept over.
Empress Changsun nodded and said, “Then I’ll ask the palace servants to start packing.”
Li Shimin nodded and said: “Well, you don’t have to worry too much. I could take care of them before, and I can still take care of them now.” His words contained great confidence.
Empress Changsun smiled slightly, but she stepped forward and got on the hot air balloon. She looked like she was living and dying with Li Shimin. Li Yin couldn’t help feeling, no wonder Li Shimin respected Empress Changsun so much. No matter how many women in the harem, she would never shake Empress Changsun status.
With Empress Changsun taking the lead, Concubine Yang went up second, and several other concubines also boarded the hot air balloon, and the hot air balloon was full after a while.
At this time, Li Yin said to Qin Shubao and Li Yuan: “Grandfather, Duke Yi, why don’t we go to the other one?”
Li Yuan and Qin Shubao are both old urchins. They nodded and laughed when they heard this. They noticed this big guy when he first came to Yizhou City, and today they can finally experience it.
Everyone boarded the hot air balloon. Under the guidance of Li Yin, the two hot air balloons circled around Yizhou City, and then flew south along the Nanhe River for a long time. The people sitting on the hot air balloons were all Refreshing, immersed in this extraordinary feeling.
“Your Majesty, it’s only been more than three years. If Liu Lang is given a few more years, I don’t know what new things he can come up with.” Holding the frame of the hot air balloon, Empress Changsun said with emotion.
“I still underestimated this kid.” Li Shimin said looking down at the ground under his feet. At this time, the people on the ground looked as big as ants, and the temperature was getting colder and colder.
Empress Changsun smiled bitterly and said, “I hope that Liulang will sell Yizhou’s goods to Chang’an as soon as possible. The more I live here now, the more I don’t want to leave.”
Li Shimin was speechless when he heard the words. To be honest, if it wasn’t for Xieli’s matter, he really wanted to hang on and not leave in the future, but since he had to leave, he made up his mind to bring back some good things.
Li Yin on the other hot air balloon suddenly felt cold all over. He didn’t understand what was going on. He looked at the time, and he should go back. After all, he was still a little worried. What if the hot air balloon really went out? If there is a malfunction, he will be the one to blame.
“Go back!” Li Yin said to the person operating the hot air balloon.
Li Yuan and Qin Shubao have had enough of their addiction, and they don’t object, after all, once something novelty wears off, it’s meaningless.
The two hot air balloons returned to the palace, and everyone got off the hot air balloons. Those who had experienced it were naturally satisfied, and those who hadn’t experienced it were naturally greedy. But the opportunity just now has been wasted, and they can only wait for the future.
After getting off the hot air balloon, Li Shimin laughed and picked up his son who was crying because of the hot air balloon. One is to escape the summer heat, and the second thing is to see something with your own eyes, so come with your father!”
