"I told my father that the earthquake was indeed my guess, but when I studied the vicissitudes of life, I found another discovery, but there was conclusive evidence." Li Tai bowed.
"What else can I find?" Li Shimin was stunned and looked at Li Tai.
Li Tai nodded and said, "I don't know if my father still remembers that last year in the south of Chang'an City, when there was a severe drought in Guanzhong, and the people didn't want to irrigate and fight drought. They were bent on praying for the dragon and rain, and my father angrily cut the mud Dragon King."
When Li Shimin heard the speech, he immediately showed a proud face. It was a matter of great complacency for him. After he angrily beheaded the mud Dragon King, he ordered the army and the people to fight the disaster as a whole and popularized the method of killing wells to get water, so that Datang had the method of fighting drought from now on.
Li Tai continued: "the father emperor's move is for the country and the people, and the world is beneficial. However, it has been criticized by some people who believe in the Dragon King. My son and minister have been resenting it all the time. After hard thinking, I collected information about the rain all over the world, only to correct my father's name. Finally, the emperor has lived up to those who have a heart, and my son and minister have finally solved the secret of the rain."
Li Shimin's breath stagnated. He couldn't believe looking at Li Tai and said, "so, you are the secret of the rain."
"The secret of rain!" the Manchu courtiers couldn't help but open their eyes and looked at Li Tai in disbelief. In their view, the wind and rain are the will of heaven, and how can human beings see through it.
"Nonsense! The formation of rain is the wind Bo's application of the wind and the rain master's distribution of rain. Thunder and lightning fall from the thunder and lightning, especially human beings can spy on it." an imperial censor angrily denounced.
Li Shimin killed the Dragon King angrily before. Naturally, he didn't dare to say that the Dragon King paid the rain. Instead, he turned to the legendary Fengbo rain master and Lei Gong electric mother. Many officials nodded one after another. They listened to these legends since childhood. Naturally, they couldn't accept Li Tai's point of view for the moment.
Even Li Shimin was pondering. Although he cut the Dragon King angrily, he was in awe of the immortal in his heart. He couldn't help looking at Li Tai.
Li Tai said happily: "since you think Fengbo Yushi can rain, why does my great Tang Dynasty have more precipitation in the South and less in the north, more in the East and less in the west? Isn't the northwest loved by Fengbo Yushi?"
"Er!"
The ministers were stunned and speechless.
Wei Zheng retorted: "it is the will of heaven to carry clouds and rain, especially what we mortals can guess."
Li Tai said proudly, "like all of you, I didn't realize it until I accidentally got the secret brewing skill of Mojia village.
"Mojiazi!"
"Brewing secret skill!"
Suddenly, the ministers' eyes suddenly stared at Merton hiding behind him.
They had a vague guess in their hearts for a long time, and now it has finally been confirmed that all this really has the shadow of Mohism, otherwise who would be able to toss like this.
Morton smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Highness also inadvertently discovered the secret skill of brewing wine. The main reason to solve the rain is the intelligence of his Highness the king of Wei."
Li Tai was immediately proud. He could think of the formation of rain in the light line, which was enough to make him proud of his achievements in his life.
"With the help of marquis Mo, the king used his secret brewing skills to reproduce the rain, and asked his father and ministers to follow him." Li Tai stretched out his hand and invited him.
Li Shimin's eyes flashed, laughed and took the lead in getting up and saying, "then I'm going to open my eyes."
The ministers are also excited. The secret brewing technique is no longer a secret in the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, they have heard of it. Naturally, they don't believe that a small secret brewing technique can involve astronomical wonders such as clouds and rain.
They followed Li Tai into a side hall and found that a huge boiler was set up in the side hall. The boiler was burning with flames, and the water in the boiler had already boiled. Soon, the side hall was full of white steam.
"Green Finch, this is what you call the mystery of rain!" Li Shimin frowned.
"The water in the pot boils and turns into water vapor, and the rain falls from the sky! Where does the water come from?" Li Tai pointed out.
"Do you mean the rain caused by these water mist?" Li Shimin said thoughtfully when he heard the speech.
"Ah! How is this possible?" a group of Ministers shook their heads one after another. They had lived all their lives. Hearing this absurd statement for the first time was simply subverting the three outlooks.
Li Tai smiled without saying a word, but walked forward first. He saw that there was a channel in front of him, and a lot of white steam was drifting from the channel.
Li Shimin followed Li Tai into the channel. He saw that the upper part of the channel was covered with iron sheets. The white steam met the cold iron sheets and soon condensed into water droplets. With the increase of water droplets, water droplets gathered and increased, and fell on Li Shimin, like rain.
The passage was not long, but Li Shimin walked very slowly. Even if there was water dripping on him, he seemed to be unaware of it.
Until he walked out of the channel, Li Shimin saw the bright sunshine outside and looked back at the channel dripping with water, as if it were like two worlds.
Soon, a group of ministers also walked out of the channel one after another, looking at Li Tai and Merton who came out last with inexplicable eyes. After their personal experience, their original firm faith could not help shaking a bit.
"That's how it rained?" Li Shimin murmured.
Li Tai nodded and said, "except that water can turn into water vapor after boiling, all places with water are turning into water vapor all the time, but the speed is much slower. This is also the reason why places close to the sea are rainy and far away from the sea are also the reason for drought and little rain in Guanlong, not the Dragon King controlling rainfall."
"So, it's absurd to ask for rain in the past." Yan shigu didn't dare to believe. He is a historian. In history, there are many records of emperors taking the lead in asking for rain. Now it seems how ridiculous.
Li Tai affirmed: "yes, even if you ask for rain, it's a great coincidence! Originally, the son ministers didn't doubt it. Fortunately, the father emperor was wise, killed the mud dragon, broke bad habits, and defeated the natural disaster with manpower, but it was criticized by the world. The son ministers naturally tried their best to correct the name of the father emperor."
When Li Shimin heard the speech, he immediately showed a proud smile and looked at Li Tai kindly.
"The emperor is brilliant and powerful. We admire him!" a group of Ministers saluted Li Shimin one after another. They all wrote a joint letter asking Li Shimin to worship heaven and pray for rain when there was a drought in the Tang Dynasty over the years. Now it seems that they are so ignorant.
Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "although what his Highness the king of Wei said is reasonable and justified, I'm afraid it's still like a ground dragon turning over. It's just speculation. What's the conclusive evidence that his Highness the king of Wei just said?"
When Li Tai heard the speech, he couldn't help looking at Merton and said with a knowing smile: "everyone knows that whenever it rains, there are dark clouds all over the world. The world thinks it's the rain master who is making rain on the rise of dark clouds, but this king thinks that it's not the rain master, but clouds one after another, and the clouds in the sky are water vapor."
"Cloud is water vapor?" everyone was stunned, looking at the white water vapor floating out of the channel, and then looking at the white clouds in the sky.
Wei Zheng still stubbornly said, "if people can't go to heaven, how can they prove that clouds are water vapor."
Li Tai showed a trace of cunning and said, "who says people can't go to heaven? Did Lord Wei forget the noisy sheep fairy in Chang'an City?"
"Hot air balloon!" Wei Zheng's eyes suddenly opened.
Li Tai solemnly said: "after two years of painstaking efforts by Master Lu, the hot-air balloon is now enough to carry people into the sky. My purpose this time is to prove that the cloud is water vapor, and secondly, to see if there is a Fengbo rain master on the white cloud."
All the officials were shocked. At the beginning, several Mohists made hot-air balloons in Chang'an City, but they were finally refrigerated by Li Shimin. Unexpectedly, they reappeared here two years later.
And who in the world is not curious about whether there are immortals above the white clouds? For a moment, people's eyes suddenly became hot.
