The other courtyard of Prince Chu's Mansion.

Little Corn happily circled around Li Kuan.

"Aye, this kite of yours is so beautifully made. Is it made for me?"

Today, when Li Kuan was playing with Xiao Corn, he was called to the Daming Palace by the young eunuch, which made Xiao Corn a little unhappy.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Kuan came back, he arranged for people to prepare materials and started making kites there.

Little Corn naturally thought that Li Kuan prepared this for himself.

"If you like it, Aye will make one for you later. This kite has special uses."

Naturally, Li Kuan would not let Little Corn play with such a kite that uses copper wire as the kite string. Would he really think that thunder and lightning would show mercy to the beauty?

"But I think this kite is very beautiful. It looks like an eagle flying high. I also want to fly freely in the sky like this eagle."

Little Corn's words made Li Kuan stunned.

This idea is really not like that of a girl from the Tang Dynasty.

What kind of witch have you cultivated over the years?

What changes will it bring to Datang in the future?

Don't make any trouble.

"Don't worry, Aye will make you an eagle later. It will be bigger and more beautiful than this one."

Li Kuan didn't know what to say, so he could only do this first.

"Your Majesty, can this kite catch the thunder and lightning in the sky?"

I don't know when, Cheng Jingwen also came to the side.

Obviously, she also knew what happened in Tai Chi Palace today.

"Don't worry, when has my husband ever done anything unreliable?"

Li Kuan didn't know how Franklin's kite was made, but according to the principle, his kite could definitely attract thunder and lightning.

I just don’t know who will feel the impact of thunder and lightning.

pig?

dog?

ox?

sheep?

Or are you looking for a dedicated Gurwu enthusiast?

Forget it, let's talk about it then.

…

"Your Majesty, it's all your subordinates who have caused you trouble. Why don't you just hand me over?"

Li Kuan:???

When Lang Qing came to see Li Kuan, Li Kuan thought that the Watch Research Institute had made some new breakthrough.

It turned out that was not the case at all.

This guy is so sentimental that he thought he was causing trouble for Li Kuan, so he wanted to show his responsible side.

After all, he was also the top tyrant in Chang'an City back then. When did he need his subordinates to take the blame for him?

"Lang Qing, what did you say you have been thinking about all day? I asked you to develop a smaller and more accurate clock. Is there any news?"

"My subordinate has betrayed the prince's trust and has yet to produce a smaller and more accurate clock."

"Then you still have time to think about these messy things? The teachers and students of Guanshishan Academy only need to improve their academics. The things in the court do not need too much from you. For people like you

, after being sold, you still have to count the money for others.”

Li Kuan looked at Lang Qing speechlessly.

Obviously, the news that the Big Ben in the Daming Palace was struck by lightning has spread throughout Chang'an City in the shortest possible time.

Otherwise, Lang Qing, a dull guy, would definitely not have come to the Chu Prince's Mansion.

Li Kuan also thought that this guy knew that he was running for office.

"But... I heard that a minister in the court blamed Big Ben for the lightning strike on the Daming Palace, and wanted to punish His Highness the King of Chu. How is this possible? I proposed the Big Ben, and I am also responsible for it.

Those who made it should be punished as well as those of their subordinates.”

Li Kuan:……

It is a good thing for subordinates to be loyal.

But why can't Li Kuan be happy?

Sure enough, not every subordinate can be as flexible as Xu Jingzong.

If this matter had happened to Xu Jingzong, such an oolong incident would never have happened.

"Okay, I know it well, but this matter can't cure my sin. What does this thunder have to do with Big Ben? Some people don't know how to pretend to understand, and they pretend to be gods, so let me teach them.

Take a good look at what this world is like."

Not to mention that Li Kuan knew very well why lightning struck Big Ben, even if it was really because of Big Ben, he would not be able to hand over Lang Qing.

Otherwise, who would dare to work for Li Kuan in the future?

…

At noon in summer, the weather is often very cool.

It was clear that the sky was clear just now, but suddenly it was covered with dark clouds.

After listening to the advice of brothers Zhu Tong and Zhu Yin, Li Kuan decisively chose noon on the third day to wait for the rainstorm in the Daming Palace.

"Your Highness King Chu, the sun is hanging high in the sky now, where is the thunder coming from? You have to choose today for your experiment, wouldn't you let so many ministers from the court accompany you to waste time here?"

Liu Jie, the servant of Huangmen, stood there and complained a little impatiently.

In order to let more people see the mystery of thunder and lightning, Li Kuan sent all the ministers on duty in the Daming Palace to the front of Hanyuan Hall today, waiting for the experiment to begin.

As a supporter of Li Tai, Liu Ji was not very fond of Li Kuan.

Of course, if Li Kuan turns around to support Li Tai, then Liu Ji's attitude will be different.

"Li Jiangshilang, let me ask you, do you think it will rain heavily after a thunderstorm?"

Seeing Li Kuan smiling and ignoring Liu Ji, Changsun Wuji felt a little uncomfortable for no reason, so he asked Li Chunfeng who was standing aside.

"Although there was heavy rain in the afternoons a few days ago, I watched the sky at night and found that the rain at this stage should have almost passed. The weather today does not look like it is going to rain."

Li Chunfeng said matter-of-factly.

Of course, he is not a god, he just makes judgments based on his own experience.

"I just finished my lunch and went out to walk around, just to eat."

Cen Wenwen smiled at the side and smoothed things over.

As a member of Zhongshushe, Cen Wenwen’s future is bright.

In addition, he is still young, so many people in the court are willing to befriend him.

When he came out to talk, no one said anything.

For a moment, there was silence outside Hanyuan Hall, leaving only the cicada on the unknown tree that kept shouting.

It seems to be saying "It's so hot! It's so hot!".

"King Chu, it's been a quarter of an hour, and the weather hasn't changed at all. Those present are all important ministers of the country, and there are still many things to deal with. We can't wait here forever, can we? If this happens all afternoon

Weather, wouldn’t it be a waste of so many people’s time all afternoon?”

Li Shenfu looked at Li Kuan with an unkind look.

In his view, Li Kuan's conduct of such an experiment was in itself a provocation to him.

"Kuan'er, it doesn't seem like it's going to rain. Are you sure you want to wait?"

Even Li Shimin on the side couldn't stand it.

Although he has great confidence in Li Kuan, weather changes themselves are difficult to predict.

So Li Shimin thought that what Li Kuan did was normal.

After all, he is a human being, not a god.

"Your Majesty, wait a moment! This day will change soon!"

Li Kuan still chose to trust Zhu Tong and Zhu Yin's judgment.

As the people at Guanshishan Academy who are most proficient in weather change prediction, and who have conducted in-depth research and comparison of weather changes in different regions during their year at sea, Zhu Yin and Zhu Tong are professionals in weather forecasting.

Although, even in later generations, the accuracy of weather forecasts is not very satisfactory.
