Traveling through time and space and becoming a deposed prince, he just wants to survive!
Chapter 547: Great Zhou Change of Master
In this era, if human beings want to step onto the clouds, it is tantamount to weaving a miracle that will shock the world.
Zhao Sheng knew clearly in his mind that simply letting Zhao Hui board the airship calmly and slowly ascend into the sky would be tantamount to letting the demeanor of an immortal be buried in the mortal world, without any trace of his otherworldly aura.
What's more, after the airship carried the living creatures, its climbing speed was as fast as an old cow walking, which was very different from the magnificent scene in people's minds that the immortals could soar into the sky in a moment's thought.
Zhao Sheng pondered secretly, and an undying ambition ignited in his heart. He vowed to create an unprecedented flying machine that could soar vertically into the sky like an arrow from a bow, and allow Zhao Hui to stand on it as steady as a mountain, showing his immortal style.
Just imagine, when Zhao Hui stood on this aircraft, under the attention of the people of the whole city, after reading the imperial edict, he instantly turned into a stream of light and soared into the sky. What a shocking sight that would have been!
This will surely become a story that will be passed down through the ages.
As for the so-called ability to call the wind and rain, Zhao Sheng was also racking his brains to think about it.
He knew that artificial rainfall was not a difficult task in modern society, but in the Zhou Dynasty, with many restrictions, it was far from easy to achieve.
However, he was well aware of the principle of artificial rainmaking, which was to use airships or other aircraft to spread silver iodide in the sky.
However, the conditions required to produce silver iodide are not currently available.
He thought hard again and suddenly realized that not only silver iodide can be used to create artificial rain, but substances such as calcium chloride and ammonium nitrate, combined with the current relatively low temperature, can also achieve the effect of rain.
Without further ado, Zhao Sheng immediately started to make these materials, and then ordered people to use aircraft to place them in the sky.
Sure enough, not long after, it began to rain in the covered area.
The airship manufactured in Luancheng uses a small thermal expansion steam engine as its power.
This time, in order to make Zhao Hui look like an immortal, Mr. Zhao carefully created a unique platform.
There are guardrails around the platform. In order to cleverly hide the mechanism inside, he specially wrapped the guardrails tightly with white cotton. From a distance, it looks like a pure white cloud.
Beneath the platform is a sheepskin airbag, which still provides buoyancy by filling it with hot air.
Four small thrusters are also placed around the platform to provide additional power for ascent.
In order to facilitate operation and not take up too much space, the operator can only operate while lying down in a limited space.
The entire production process was time-consuming, taking a full three months. It was already summer by then, and the weather was gradually getting warmer.
Zhao Sheng made a total of nine such aircraft, eight of which were prepared for Zhao Hui's guards.
As early as a month ago, these guards secretly came to Luancheng to start training.
During the training, he was accidentally seen by the people.
In the sky, guards wearing golden armor, holding weapons, were flying with the help of aircraft. From a distance, they looked like heavenly soldiers and generals descending to earth.
When the people saw this, they ran around to tell each other and were amazed.
This training was not only to make the scene more shocking when Zhao Hui ascended, but also to make full preparations for making rain over the capital in the future.
Finally, after the last rehearsal, Zhao Sheng felt that everything was ready and the time was ripe, so he hurriedly ordered someone to carefully notify Zhao Hui.
Zhao Hui was extremely anxious when he heard the news. He immediately rushed to Luancheng to experience the wonderful feeling of standing on the "clouds" again, and was looking forward to the upcoming grand "performance".
Everything is ready, just waiting to stage this world-shaking drama in the capital!
However, at this moment, a shocking piece of news like thunder suddenly came out from the court: the emperor was going to abdicate the throne to the regent Zhao Sheng, claiming that he had successfully overcome the tribulation and was about to ascend to heaven.
However, under the earnest pleas of all officials, the emperor decided to stay in the Sanqing Temple on Qingyun Peak of the ancient Wudang Mountain and devote himself to cultivating immortality as "Xuan Yi Zhenren".
Its main purpose is to protect the Great Zhou and educate all the people in the world!
When the people heard the news, they began to speculate whether it was true or not. For a time, rumors spread throughout the capital and people were in panic.
Spies from various countries also heard the news and rushed to the capital to find out what was going on.
Soon after, news came that the emperor was preparing to cast a spell to bring rain in the capital and then ascend to heaven and leave.
The news was so explosive that it instantly attracted crowds of people to the streets and alleys of the capital, causing traffic jams.
The sixth day of the sixth lunar month is an auspicious day, suitable for offering sacrifices, praying for blessings, seeking offspring, opening a shrine, traveling, and resolving...
There were huge crowds of people on Xuanwu Street outside the imperial palace, making it impossible to get through.
People rushed to the scene, wanting to witness this once-in-a-lifetime spectacle with their own eyes.
Zhao Hui, who now calls himself Xuanyi Zhenren, wears a nine-beam scarf with nine neatly arranged horizontal pleats, as if containing the mysterious order between heaven and earth, demonstrating his respected status in Taoism.
The cloud shoes on his feet were embroidered with exquisite cloud patterns. Every step he took seemed to be a sign of flying in the clouds, silent yet majestic.
The purple Taoist robe on his body swayed gently in the wind, and the yellow gold sash tied around his waist hung naturally at both ends, swaying slowly with his steps, adding a bit of otherworldly appearance.
He gently held the jade whisk in his arms, muttering to himself and reciting the Great Edict of Heaven.
"To protect the people of Great Zhou, I have now decided to cultivate the immortal way. The throne of the emperor will be passed on to the Sixth Prince of the Imperial Family, Regent Zhao Sheng. May Great Zhou enjoy good weather, peace and prosperity from now on!"
Zhao Hui's voice was loud and echoed above the crowd.
After saying this, he prayed devoutly to the sky again, then lit the talisman paper in his hand and threw it into the air.
The talisman paper turned into ashes in the flames and slowly floated towards the sky.
After a while, eight huge clouds appeared in the sky and floated slowly.
Immediately afterwards, fine rain fell from the clouds, dripping onto the earth.
Upon seeing this, Master Xuan Yi looked up to the sky and laughed out loud. His laughter was so hearty that it seemed to penetrate the clouds.
In an instant, a dazzling golden light appeared under his feet, and clouds of smoke rose up, gradually enveloping his figure.
Amidst the exclamations of the crowd and the focused gazes, he slowly rose up as if he were really riding on the clouds.
"I'll go too..."
Zhao Hui's voice came from afar, as if floating from the sky, carrying with it endless mystery and transcendence.
Everything happened so realistically before people's eyes. Upon seeing this, everyone knelt down and prayed involuntarily, muttering to themselves, hoping to receive the protection of this immortal.
At this moment, Zhao Sheng appeared in front of everyone, surrounded by guards and imperial guards.
He looked solemn and walked towards the Temple of Heaven with steady steps.
After arriving at the Temple of Heaven, Zhao Sheng burned incense and prayed to the sky. After completing this series of rituals, he was officially enthroned.
From then on, the emperor of the Great Zhou changed...
