My father is Chongzhen? Then I have no choice but to rebel.

Chapter 89 In fact, the prince is not a human being!

Suddenly at this moment, Zhu Cilang seemed to have thought of something again, and then smiled and said:
"By the way, I have something here. If you can make it, it will definitely shock the entire Ming Dynasty and even the whole world."

"By then, even your father will look upon you with new eyes!"

Upon hearing this, Bi Wenxuan looked at Zhu Cilang in surprise.

"Your Highness, please explain clearly!"

Zhu Cilang smiled mysteriously:
"This thing I'm talking about can send people to heaven!"

Bi Wenxuan was stunned when he heard this.

He looked at Zhu Cilang in disbelief, as if he was looking at a monster.

He could accept other things, but he really couldn't believe that something that could take people to heaven.

Are we going to put people in cannons and wade them into the sky?

Zhu Cilang did not explain, but walked straight to the table, roughly drew a model of a hot air balloon, and noted the necessary tools and precautions next to it.

After all, he is not a professional, so he can only draw a rough outline.

Bi Wenxuan watched from the side and then asked:
"My Lord, that thing you mentioned that can send people to the sky, is it a Kongming lantern?"

Zhu Cilang nodded:
"The principle is similar, but the size is dozens of times larger than the Kongming lantern."

"Look, this fabric needs to be made of some fireproof and airtight material, and the bamboo basket below should be woven from bamboo, which is both light and sturdy."

"As for fuel, let's use kerosene (petroleum). Kerosene has a better burning time and combustion efficiency."

"Since Kongming lanterns can fly, if we magnify them a dozen times, people will naturally be able to fly."

Upon hearing this, Bi Wenxuan nodded thoughtfully.

Because if you think about it carefully, it seems to be true.

After a while, Zhu Cilang finally finished the painting. Bi Wenxuan took the hot air balloon drawing handed to him by Zhu Cilang and was very excited.

If he could really develop this thing that could send people into space, it would definitely be a major event that would shock the entire Ming Dynasty and even the world.

After all, he had never heard of anyone who could fly in the sky.

And he might be the first one!
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely research all of these things."

"I will definitely not let you down!"

Bi Wenxuan said confidently.

Zhu Cilang smiled and nodded:

"Of course I believe you."

"I will first allocate 100,000 taels of silver to you. If you need any special materials, please let me know, or you can go directly to the Ministry of Works to get them."

"If you're short on manpower, we can transfer personnel from the Ministry of Industry. In short, no matter what you need, I will grant it to you!"

joke!

Hot air balloons are definitely a product that transcends time!
As long as this thing is developed, it will definitely dazzle everyone's eyes. More importantly, this thing will also be of great help on the battlefield.

If used with a telescope, you can observe the enemy situation dozens of kilometers away, which will be of great help in future wars!

So Zhu Cilang is never stingy!

Before leaving, Zhu Cilang specially asked someone to fill two large boxes with the glasses and various mirrors on the table, and prepared to give them to Chongzhen in the evening as an apology for last night.

After all, what he did last night was indeed unkind.

But we have to wait until nighttime, because the medicine given to Chongzhen before will not take effect until nighttime.

After resting for a while, Zhu Cilang felt bored, so he asked someone to call Fang Zhenghua and Li Ruolian over.

Today he not only wants to learn horse riding, but also horse archery.

Li Ruo Lian was a military scholar, so he should be a good hand in this area.

As for Fang Zhenghua, Zhu Cilang wanted to ask if he could learn his martial arts. If he could, he wouldn't mind becoming a martial arts master.

After all, no man doesn't want to be a martial arts master!
Soon, Fang Zhenghua and Li Ruolian arrived at an open space in the East Palace.

When they arrived, Zhu Cilang was riding on a horse and fiddling with a bow and arrow.

The poundage of this bow and arrow is not high, and Zhu Cilang can pull it, but for some reason he just can't hit the target.

Seeing Fang Zhenghua and Li Ruolian, Zhu Cilang rode over and asked:

"Fang Zhenghua, if I wanted to learn your martial arts, would you be willing to teach me?"

Fang Zhenghua was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly reacted and said with a wry smile:

"My Lord, if you want to learn, I am willing to teach you."

"However, my kung fu is a little special. It can only be mastered by a martial arts genius. Moreover, I have practiced for thirty years to achieve my current achievements."

Thirty years?
Zhu Cilang was speechless. He was going to be the emperor in the future, so he didn't have time to practice martial arts every day.

Helplessly, he looked at Li Ruolian again.

Li Ruolian bowed and said quickly without waiting for Zhu Cilang to speak:
"Your Highness, I have also practiced martial arts for twenty years, and it is very difficult. I am afraid you cannot bear it."

Li Ruo Lian was not lying. When he was a child, in order to practice martial arts, he would get up before dawn, dance at the sound of the cock crowing, and rest at sunset.

He trained himself to exhaustion every day, and he felt that Zhu Cilang would definitely not be able to bear the hardship.

When Zhu Cilang heard this, he knew that his dream of becoming a hero was shattered.

Then he shook his head and said:
"Forget it then." The two of them breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Then, Li Ruolian took the initiative to say:
"Your Highness, do you want to learn horseback archery? If so, I suggest you practice ordinary archery first, and then practice horseback archery after you are more accustomed to it."

"Alright!"

Zhu Cilang agreed, then dismounted and walked towards the target not far away.

Seeing this, Li Ruolian hurried over and explained the archery techniques to Zhu Cilang step by step.

Zhu Cilang certainly didn't learn archery to kill people, he just wanted to practice his arm strength.

Because he didn't want to stay in the deep palace for the rest of his life like other emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

In the future, he wants to be an emperor who can pacify the world with military power and govern the country with literary power.

Just like Chengzu was wrong!

He is far superior to emperors like Chengzu!

However, having said that, it can still be very annoying if you keep missing the target.

Even though Li Ruolian had moved the target close enough, Zhu Cilang still didn't hit it with a single arrow.

The atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment.
At the same time, not far away, Fang Zhenghua was chatting with Li Hu.

Although Li Hu was easily defeated by Fang Zhenghua before, Li Hu did not hold a grudge against Fang Zhenghua for this. Instead, he began to admire him a little.

In addition, since they all worked for the prince, they naturally became familiar with each other.

And now, they also witnessed the whole process of Zhu Cilang's archery.

After firing more than ten arrows, none of them hit the target!

Even though they knew they shouldn't laugh at this time, they still couldn't suppress the smile on their lips.

There was nothing they could do. They didn't expect the prince's archery skills to be so outrageous.
Li Hu suppressed the smile on his face and muttered in confusion:

"Old Fang, what do you think the prince is talking about? Why would he learn archery if he has nothing to do?"

"If he really wanted to kill someone, it would just take a word. Why bother with so much effort?"

Fang Zhenghua nodded and agreed after hearing this:

"Indeed, as long as the Crown Prince says the word, we will take action. Why would the Crown Prince need to do it himself?"

When Li Hu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly revealed a mysterious smile.

He patted Fang Zhenghua's shoulder and said:

"Old Fang, you misunderstood me. I'm not saying that the prince wants our help to kill someone. I'm saying that if the prince wants to kill someone, he only needs to move his mouth and that person's life will be in danger."

Fang Zhenghua was stunned when he heard this, as if he was looking at a madman, and thought to himself:

Did this guy take the wrong medicine today?

They said that if the prince just opened his mouth, people would die? Isn't that too outrageous?

However, Li Hu didn't seem to care about Fang Zhenghua's reaction. Instead, he leaned closer to his ear and whispered in a low voice:

"Lao Fang, since you are one of us, I will tell you a secret."

"But you have to promise me that you will never tell the prince that I said this, because this is the prince's biggest secret."

When Fang Zhenghua heard this, his face instantly turned ugly.

You know, as a close minister of the emperor, what he fears most is knowing the master's secrets!
Because if you know too much about this kind of thing, you never know when it will disappear!
Thinking of this, he quickly waved his hand and refused:

"Forget it, forget it, don't say anything! I don't want to know the prince's secret."

"I know this secret is fatal. I just want to live a few more years!"

But Li Hu seemed determined to share this secret with him and continued:
"What are you afraid of? We are all rebelling against the Crown Prince. This life has long belonged to the Crown Prince."

"Besides, there are actually quite a few people who know this secret. There are about twenty of them at most. One more or one less won't make much difference."

Fang Zhenghua was even more speechless after hearing this.

Is something that more than twenty people know still a secret?
But just as he was about to continue to refuse, Li Hu suddenly grinned and said:

"To tell you the truth, the prince is not a human being at all!"

When Fang Zhenghua heard this, he was suddenly silent.

He could never have imagined that Li Hu, the leader of the Crown Prince's personal guards, would actually say such a thing.
If the prince heard this, wouldn't he chop him to pieces?
However, before he could speak, Li Hu continued:
"Because the prince is the reincarnation of the Great Emperor Zhenwu!"

In an instant, Fang Zhenghua was silenced again.

The look he gave Li Hu became extremely complicated, as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person.

Fang Zhenghua knew that every time someone rebelled in history, they would always add some mystery to themselves, such as the story of the First Emperor's death and the division of the land, and Liu Bang beheading the white snake.

But he didn't expect that the prince would use such a lame excuse to fool people, which really surprised him.

And I have to say, the prince is indeed very smart.

Because Zhenwu Emperor has always been the highest-level god worshipped in the Ming Dynasty. It is said that Zhenwu Emperor once helped Chengzu to conquer the world, so he has always been respected by all emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Fang Zhenghua sighed, then gently patted Li Hu's shoulder and said in a concerned tone:

"Old Li, I already know what you said, but you have to remember not to tell anyone else about it in the future!"

It was obvious that Fang Zhenghua was afraid that Li Hu would bring shame to the Crown Prince!
If people knew that the Crown Prince had such a easily fooled leader of his own army, where would he put his face?
