Chapter 23 Gifts(2/3)
Since the official had a verbal order, someone from upstairs waved to let him go.
At this moment, Zhao Jiu turned to face Lu Benzhong who was standing behind him: "Does Lu Qing recognize this person?"
"Why don't you recognize him?" Lu Benzhong ignored his father who was not far away. He immediately twirled his beard and smiled and nodded. "So that the officials will know that this person's name is Cai Mao. He is indeed a former prime minister, and he comes from a family of prime ministers. His father
His name is Cai Que, and his concubine's name is Feng Jing... This person is very familiar to me."
This statement was so easy that Ren Baozhong couldn't help but glance at Lu Benzhong... He really had no idea how to reincarnate.
"When did he do it justice?" Zhao Jiu didn't pay attention to Ren Baozhong's eyes. He was just slightly startled and then asked again. As soon as he finished asking, he suddenly woke up. "But one of the twenty-six prime ministers of Jingkang?
"
Lu Benzhong nodded again with a smile: "The officials have a clear lesson."
But Zhao Jiu soon became a little puzzled: "The twenty-six prime ministers of Jingkang were either kidnapped and died directly for their country; among those who were alive, the leader and the leader were denounced, and I have never forgiven them; and I, the leader of the battle, the leader of the defender.
Is there no reason not to use him?"
Concubine Pan on the side was a little nervous, but at this time, the man hurriedly boarded the stairs, panting, but he had already climbed upstairs quickly... Regarding this, although most of the officials upstairs looked a little weird when they saw this man, they
Still, they stood up one after another and showed some courtesy.
Seeing this, Lu Benzhong laughed even harder: "What the officials said is absolutely true!"
Zhao Jiu was confused for a moment, but as soon as he turned around, he suddenly realized - How dare this Xianggong Cai refuse to fight, make peace, surrender or defend when the Jin army besieged the city?!
Of course, he must have escaped in the end!
And out of ten, he was fucked by Li Gang because of this! Maybe it was because he didn’t have a master and a master, so he couldn’t fuck him to the end, so he could only fuck him to the level of Zhizhou Shi, so that he could escape calmly and become an idler.
Then this time she followed Empress Dowager Yuanyou back and sat there majestically.
As soon as she thought about this, Zhao Jiu couldn't help but look back at the fragrant Concubine Pan beside her... She was speechless, but somehow she could understand.
"His Majesty!"
Just when the thoughts of Zhao Guan's family were changing, Cai Mao, the former Prime Minister, and the Queen Mothers in the middle had finished their greetings. They hurried over with a box in their hands. Then, with a look of joy on their faces, they knelt down and saluted directly. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is very happy.
Ah! This time I returned from Yangzhou to the north and was on the Huaishang River. On the way, I saw a bright red light in the water. I fished carefully and found an ancient seal from the river embankment! The Huaishang River is the place where officials rose up. Is this true?
Isn’t it God’s will?”
Zhao Jiu hesitated to speak. The three princesses and two of the three empress dowagers all looked curious. However, empress dowager Zheng was just like the other important ministers around her, including Li Guang, not squinting...or rather too lazy to squint.
, the pregnant Concubine Wu frowned slightly, but she resisted not looking.
As for Concubine Pan, she was so nervous that she strangled the official's arm beside her until it hurt.
Although Zhao Jiu was in severe pain from being strangled, he still hesitated to speak to the former prime minister in front of him... There was no way, this job was too rough! It was so rough that he didn't even want to take it!
It was this kind of son from a prime minister's family who never escaped, and he hid in Yangzhou for another seven years before he dared to do such low-level rough work in front of him! It was also the stupid Concubine Pan who was so sick.
I urgently seek medical treatment and seek cooperation from such a down-to-earth leader!
But having said that, Concubine Pan at least knew that someone at the level of the Prime Minister had to come forward to deal with the court affairs. This is considered progress, right? I wonder if his uncle had any ideas from outside?
Just when Zhao Guan's family was in trouble, Lu Benzhong couldn't stand it anymore, so he blurted out directly upstairs: "Guan family, get this villain out! That day, this man was as famous as the prodigal prime minister Li Bangyan, nicknamed Ma
Mr. Fart! He relied on flattering Emperor Zhezong to overturn his own father's case, and relied on flattering Cai Jing and his son to become an official. It is best to rely on sending Liang Shicheng's flattery to become the emperor when Emperor Taishang Daojun fled south at the end of Xuanhe.
Zhi, then it was postponed to Jingkang... Even Emperor Taishang Yuansheng looked down upon him!"
Lu Benzhong spoke so brazenly that the surrounding ministers remained ignorant. Even the two queen mothers immediately turned away after being slightly embarrassed... Only Concubine Pan still held on to Zhao Guan's family and did not let go.
But what's interesting is that Cai Mao and Cai Xianggong didn't care about Lu Benzhong at all. He just listened quietly to what the other party said, and then continued to respectfully offer the wooden box in his hand. It can be said that he said: "The official family, Lu Benzhong means
It just means that I committed fraud and took in fake things without permission. But let the officials think about it. I came here because Empress Dowager Yuanyou returned from Yangzhou to the north, and Yangzhou no longer had the need to defend it. There is no difference between the two.
One day... I dare to ask how you can fake ancient objects in just one day? Guan family, this jade seal is indeed rolled out by the waves in the Huaihe River where the official family was facing battle."
Zhao Jiu finally became a little irritated and turned around to signal.
But Ren Baozhong understood, and immediately went over to Lieutenant General Lu Ben to fetch the wooden box, inspected it again, and then respectfully presented the jade seal in his hand, which looked like a real antique, to Zhao Guan's family.
Zhao Jiu brought the jade seal and turned it over casually. He was stunned for a moment, but turned it back. He held the jade seal in silence for a long time. After a while, he turned it over again, only to turn it back again. Then he still fell into a long-lasting feeling.
In silence.
At this point, if the hard wings on both sides of the official fu's head were not shaking, which proved that his strange action just now actually existed, I am afraid everyone would have thought it was a static scene.
But having said that, seeing the Zhao Guan family's posture, the surrounding atmosphere gradually reversed. Pan Guifei became excited for a moment, and the surrounding ministers gradually became uneasy, so that a small number of people who were unsure gradually turned their heads to look at it - to put it bluntly, this official
The family shouldn't be controlled by such a thing, right?
Especially since Concubine Pan was so obvious, it was probably because of her son that some of her family members had gone out of their way to communicate with her in advance.
"Cai Qing." Zhao Jiufang paused for who knows how long before squeezing the jade seal in his hand and smiling. "You really gave me a surprise!"
Almost everyone around him was stunned, but Cai Mao couldn't help being ecstatic, but he kowtowed in public.
As for Concubine Pan, she was obviously nervous with anticipation.
"Give Cai Qing a seat." Zhao Jiu turned around and ordered the stunned Lu Benzhong, then looked at the rest of the group and responded slowly. "It's just a gadget. Let's wait and see what happens."
After saying that, the official pointed directly forward and sat upright without moving. No one in the upstairs dared to neglect him. Even Cai Mao, who hurriedly retreated to the edge of the tower and sat down, also sat upright and recognized the situation.
Zhi stared at the strange things in front of Xuande Building.
At this time, the onlookers below were still in a daze because of the perspective problem, but Qiangxin suppressed their thoughts and focused on the imperial elites above Xuande Tower on the Imperial Street. Many of them were startled, and then suddenly woke up.
——It turns out that the Zhao Guan family is really just making a lantern, a giant big lantern that is not used to entertain the people at night, but is displayed in broad daylight.
It's just that this big lamp is not covered with a paper cover, but a boneless cover made of precious thick silk satin. At this time, it has been spread out on the Imperial Street, which is more than ten feet square, but I don't know how to cover it.
Going up, do you need to temporarily lift the bones?
The bottom is not an ordinary tray, but a huge basket surrounded by sandbags, which can allow several soldiers to stand in it and blow the wind.
As for why the blower is needed, because the basket is not a small candle, but a huge simple stove with its own blower, and the stove is filled with fine pebbles and charcoal soaked in precious oil wax... There is also a stove on top
The chimney is made approx.
The stove was lit, and with the diligent assistance of the sergeants, the chimney that could be tilted manually was directly aimed at the boneless satin cover that stretched out a certain area.
The next moment, while the onlookers were still watching a fooling around, many people on the Xuande Tower had already lost their composure and stood up... just like they did when they were watching the Marathon Hemisphere.
Otherwise, some smart people have realized what this thing is, just a large Kongming Lantern!
However, the Kongming Lantern can reach the sky.
That's right, it's one of the time traveler's sharp weapons, the hot air balloon... After the Zhao Guan family got sick, they finally realized that they couldn't be busy all day long with the official business that an official should be busy with, but should do some business that a time traveler should do. The official family
of idle matters.
As a result, he resumed his technological revitalization plan.
In fact, Zhao Jiu wanted to do the hot air balloon thing when he was in Nanyang, but every time he even tried the trumpet experiment, he would fail... The reason is very simple. He is an engineering dog who studies signals and systems, not materials, let alone
I major in chemistry and am not a welder, so I really don’t know how to make fireproof materials, so every experiment basically ends up catching fire on the silk.
As for the so-called fire cloth, which is also asbestos cloth, it is too expensive and rare these days. Once it is enlarged, it seems a bit unrealistic.
Of course, Zhao Jiu put a lot of effort this time. On the one hand, he was preparing to make a big news no matter what as a gift for the Lantern Festival in the eighth year of Jianyan. Therefore, he prepared to use ceramic chimney equipment to protect the flames.
It was during the "illness" period that people carefully investigated the rumors about fireproof materials that were not "Huohuanbu".
The two made progress almost at the same time. The former was considered feasible with careful operation, but the latter occasionally received many explanations. One of them was about a fire in a Shaoxing family, and a wooden barrel actually survived. Later, after investigation,
Only then did I realize that this is a special barrel used for water purification... Later, when I asked people about it, I found that similar things happened in many places. The older the water purification barrel, the more likely it is to be damaged in the fire.
It can be saved frequently.
These days, the chemical used by ordinary people to purify water is very simple, which is alum exclusively sold by the imperial court, which is also the ‘Fan’ from which Fan Tower is named.
After all, Zhao Guanjia is an engineering dog. Although he didn't know what the ingredients of alum were, he did not stop him from soaking silk in extremely concentrated alum water for experiments... The result was that it was really fireproof.
This led to today's experiment, which has been delayed for four to five years.
It also loses the face of the time traveler.
In a daze, as the surrounding soldiers and people exclaimed, the silk was quickly bulged by the hot air, and soon formed a big ball straight up, standing in the middle of the imperial street, and then gradually floated upward.
After a while, the ministers and royal family members in Xuande Tower were even more stunned... because they saw with their own eyes that the huge basket gradually became shaky after carefully throwing down many sandbags in order, as shown in Zhuangzi's "Xiaoyaoyouyou"
"Kunpeng" in "Kunpeng", ready to soar to 90,000 miles.
Finally, as another sandbag was thrown down, a huge shadow enveloped the Xuande Tower. The sky's number one sky lantern slowly but surely flew up in an attitude that all smart people could "understand the principle".
But the more this happens, the more shocking it is.
This time, it is even more shocking than the Mara Hemisphere back then! Because it is more intuitive and obvious!
It can only be said that the Zhao Guan family really tried their best for Yuan Xue.
The huge hot air balloon had flown to the same level as everyone on the Xuande Tower. Almost everyone upstairs was stunned and silent. Zhao Guan's family didn't make a sound either, but unlike the others who leaned forward to look at it, he was the only one who couldn't help but stare.
Looking squinting, he was sitting upright as usual, and the stiff-winged head on top of his red robe actually didn't tremble at all this time.
"Don't panic, Beitutou!"
Yang Yizhong, whose figure was not visible at all, shouted at the basket above him. "There is a rope pulling down below. Follow the same drill as before. Don't throw sandbags for the time being. Just increase the fire and reduce the fire. Slowly move up."
But... when we are unhooked, you will use sandbags to control it and let it drift away with the wind, and the cavalry will come to find you."
To be continued...
