Chapter 1477 Go up and see the great rivers and mountains of my Song Dynasty
Chapter 1477
After slowly entering the side hall, Xiao Wuna narrowed his eyes and looked at the washing blue sky. Although the sun was bright, he could not feel any warmth.
After so long persuading, the timid appearance of the crown prince Yelu Yanxi really disappointed Xiao Wuna. He originally hoped that the crown prince could become a wise emperor of the Great Liao and strive to save the country and country of the Great Liao that is now about to collapse.
Nowadays, the crown prince Yelu Yanxi, who is soft-hearted but cowardly by nature, is not willing to take responsibility, is definitely not the best candidate for the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty.
However, the only son of Your Majesty is Yelu Jun, the strong-willed Prince of Zhaohuai, who has long become the ghost under the sword of the traitor Yelu Yixin. The only one who is alive is His Royal Highness.
Think about the other two monarchs I had met, Zhao Xu, the emperor of the Song State, was brave and courageous, with lofty ambitions, and was actually the heroic lord. Although the Western Xia lord Li Ganshun was full of anger, he was also a scheming person.
Compared to these two, the style of the crown prince Yelu Yanxi is really disappointing.
Stop it, no matter how much you say, what can it be? As the saying goes, it is just to do your best to do your best and let God do your best. I just hope that the Great Liao Kingdom will be long and will never stop in this world.
After sighing leisurely, Xiao Wuna continued to go to the outside of the palace. At this time, a young official was excitedly coming towards the side hall. When he saw Xiao Wuna, he did not dare to neglect and bowed to Xiao Wu.
"I've seen an adult."
"So it's Xiao Fengxian, you're..." Xiao Wuna also recognized this person, the princess Xiao Duoli, the princess of the crown prince, and the brother of Xiao Gui Ge.
This person looks pretty good, but he is a little ignorant. Since the reign of the imperial grandson, he has frequently made suggestions to the imperial grandson to seek official positions.
"Xiao Guan is here to pay tribute to His Royal Highness the Grand Prince. Then Xu Guan will say goodbye first..." Xiao Fengxian saw Xiao Wuna's indifferent appearance, and after a haha, he left with Xiao Wuna.
After looking at Xiao Fengxian's back, Xiao Wuna became even more helpless. In the past, there were many treacherous ministers like Yelu Renxian, Yelu Yixin, and Xiao Shen around His Majesty. Now, aren't there any of them around the Emperor's Crown?

Time gradually progressed, and it was already the March period of fireworks. At this time, the Huanglongze area had long stopped the swamps everywhere and the wild birds and beasts everywhere.
Rows of neat rows of black tiles and white walls, straight blue-gray cement straight roads, and various vehicles shuttled back and forth.
It makes this place very lively, and the originally lush small lake island has been expanded many times and has now become a large island with an area of about three miles in length.
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 achieved by ferries, minimizing the possibility of being disturbed and peeped to the extent possible.
Today, the emperor and his family of four appeared quietly on the pier in the middle of the lake. The family of His Royal Highness Duan and his family were also coming by boat together.
In addition, Wang Yang's disciples, as well as the honorary head of Su Song and the current Yuan Academy of the Great Song Dynasty, Shen Kuo, were all present.
"Although I think the principle mentioned by Wang Wushan is fine, I am still a little worried if such a big thing is carried on the air..." After seeing the emperor, the old man Su Song of the white-bearded man was bowing his head and communicating quietly with Shen Kuo beside him.
"I don't think there is much problem. We have conducted several experimental flights before. Look at the flying ball samples that were tested, although they were inferior to this size, but they all achieved success. They even had successfully tested the manned manned ones. There will definitely be no mistakes today."
Shen Kuo smiled and shook his head. Su Song had just been here for a few days and didn't believe it. It was normal. Unlike him, he had seen the hot air balloons take off many times.
Even later improvements were involved. Now, the hot air balloon placed on the open space is extremely large in size. Below it is a large bamboo basket made of light and strong bamboo.
However, although they look like a giant, they are extremely light in weight. In order to lose weight, they have racked their brains.
For example, except for the bottom of the bamboo basket being completely sealed, the guardrails around them are only braided with a few columns and then connected with hemp ropes.
The only heavy thing is the large iron stove used to burn tincture oil, and a blower. In addition, the tincture oil that needs to be filled during flight is not decorated with a clay pot or a porcelain jar.
Because the two containers were too heavy, they were instead filled with leather bags. One bag was loaded with about ten kilograms of tinder oil. According to previous calculations, this large flying ball needed nearly six kilograms of heat generated by burning the tinder oil for every quarter of an hour.
In addition, at a corner of the bamboo basket, it was covered with 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 did not stand in the crowd, but stood in the center of the hot air balloon, directing the disciples and craftsmen to conduct final inspections of the hot air balloons, confirming that every rope and every hook had been completely fixed without any omissions.
After confirming, he saw a 500-pound sandbag piled in the bamboo basket, and looked at the fixed iron stove and blower. Wang Yang finally announced loudly. "All unrelated people are waiting to leave the bamboo basket and prepare to start lighting!"
"I wonder who would like to go upstairs with Wang to see the great mountains and rivers of my Song Dynasty?" Wang Yang watched the turbulent oil stove ignited, and under the action of the blower, the hot air balloon began to slowly expand.
"Dad, I, I, I!" Wang Zhiyuan raised his hand and shouted loudly. As for Wang Wenwan, he didn't speak at all, but ran straight towards him for a few steps, drilled directly into the gap in the hemp rope railing, and turned around and glared at Wang Zhiyuan, the silly brother. Of course, I would do this first.
Wang Zhiyuan quickly rolled over and crawled in, and as for Li Qingzhao and others, they just looked at him with a smile, and did not stop him. After all, these three charming and charming women had already wandered in the sky several times before, and had long since changed from being panic to being accustomed to being.
"Father, mother, son minister also wants to go up, so please ask the father to be kind to..." 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 became hot, he turned his head and said to his father and mother.
"This..." Queen Meng looked at the hot air balloon and couldn't help but look at her husband with some concern.
Emperor Zhao Xu squatted down, held Zhao Shu's hand and asked with a smile. "Do you want to go up too?"
"Well, Miss Wenwan has such courage. Master and Brother Wang are going up too, and I want to go up too..." Zhao Shu nodded vigorously, looked over there and said.
"Official family, why don't our family accompany Lord Wang to see what's going on?" Ma Shang swallowed Xingzi and stood up with a terror.
