Chapter 726

"Can this thing see so far?"

Li Shimin was suddenly surprised. He couldn't believe looking at Merton. The nearest shop from the star viewing platform to the rosefinch street should be three miles away. How could Li Shimin not surprise him that he could clearly see the figures under the rosefinch street and the lanterns!

However, when he put down the telescope, what he saw was just a light. He couldn't see anything at all. However, with the help of the telescope, it was as clear as before.

Merton nodded and said, "the purpose of this research is to help people see things in the distance like myopia glasses and presbyopic glasses. Yes, the purpose of this object is to look far. It is more reasonable to call it a telescope than to see the sky."

"Telescope?"

Li Shimin nodded approvingly. The name is really worthy of its name. How can Li Shimin not be shocked when you can see Zhuque street from the star viewing platform at such a distance.

Merton said proudly, "it's night. Although there is bright moonlight, it affects the line of sight. If it's a sunny day, I'm afraid this thing will see further?"

"How far can you see?" Li Shimin asked.

Merton silently calculated: "when the weather is fine, if you stand high, you can certainly see five miles away, and you may see a blurred scene ten miles away. However, this is the first generation of telescope. With the further improvement of Mohism in the future, you can certainly see farther?"

"Ten miles is enough!" Li Shimin said excitedly,

Yuan Tiangang looked at the excited Li Shimin puzzled. Merton understood and said, "Your Majesty wants to use this thing in the war between the two armies?"

Li Shimin looked at Merton with appreciation and said, "yes, this thing can look far. If our scouts hold this thing, they will be able to find the enemy first, find out the enemy's reality and seize the opportunity. The value of this thing alone can't believe."

At this moment, he no longer has the regret of the destruction of the legend of the heavenly palace. In an instant, he returns to the emperor who made a military expedition. If the two armies were in battle, our senior general would see the situation between the enemy and us clearly with a telescope. The arrangement of troops is like an envoy, and its importance can be imagined.

"Your Majesty's insight is like a torch, and I admire it!" Merton had to admire Li Shimin's military accomplishment. The purpose of letting Li Shimin see the rosefinch street is to lead out the function of the telescope. I didn't expect that Li Shimin had been keenly aware of it before he pointed it out.

"It's just a pity that it's too big to carry!" Li Shimin stroked the long tube of the telescope in front of him and said with regret:

"Don't worry, your majesty. After you go back, you will certainly improve again and offer your majesty a telescope that is easy to carry and can look further." Merton promised.

"There are gains and losses. The ancients honestly didn't deceive me. Today I'm too open-minded." Li Shimin said with a loud smile. The regret of the collapse of the laurel myth just now was swept away. With this telescope in hand, it's more than an illusory fairy.

Yuan Tiangang nodded in agreement. The true appearance of the moon shattered the laurel myth, the Taoist immortal system was damaged again, and Li Shimin's dream of long life died. However, Li Shimin got a telescope, the Taoist celestial phenomena went further, and there were wonderful books such as push back pictures, which made people sigh at one gain and one loss.

"OK, tonight is new year's Eve. I won't disturb you." Li Shimin waved.

"I'm leaving!" Merton and Yuan Tiangang stepped down.

Tonight is new year's Eve. Princes and princes go to enjoy the flower lanterns in Zhuque street. The palace ban is not closed. Merton goes out of the palace, waves goodbye to Yuan Tiangang, and can't wait to run to Zhuque street.

When Li Shimin returned to the Lizheng hall, he saw the empress changsun waiting in the hall. He asked differently, "how can you do it yourself? Take care of them?"

"Today is not new year's Eve. Several people want to see the lanterns, so I let them go." empress Chang sun came forward.

"Changle has gone too?" Li Shimin said suddenly.

"Yes! What's the matter?" empress Chang sun didn't understand.

Li Shimin remembered the figure of Merton who couldn't wait to leave. He suddenly realized that the etiquette of not meeting before marriage can hinder ordinary people. I'm afraid it has no constraints on the Mohist school.

"For the sake of the telescope, let your boy go first." Li Shimin snorted coldly.

……………………

On the rosefinch street, lanterns are shining high and the flow of people is blazing.

This year's Lantern Festival was even more popular last year. With the construction of brick roads and the popularity of four-wheel carriages, people from Luoyang came to Chang'an city to enjoy the lights. Almost every day, many carriages rushed to Chang'an City in the city with brick roads.

In addition, the love story between Merton and Princess Changle is widely spread, which adds a bit of charm to the new year's Eve Lantern Festival in Chang'an city. Therefore, this year's new year's Eve Lantern Festival is particularly lively, and people come and go in the whole street.

Under a bright lamp in Zhuque street, the two figures quietly stood side by side. Liu e turned her head to one side and could only pretend to ignore their small movements.

"Why are you here? Doesn't it mean you can't meet before marriage?" Princess Changle was shy. Fortunately, the lights were dim and the people around didn't know each other, which made Princess Changle relax a little.

Merton sniffed, "that's a bad habit. It was stipulated that you couldn't see one side before marriage? Don't you and I often meet?"

"You're not cheeky!"

Princess Changle was angry and went down the slope. She didn't want to see Merton, but she was afraid of gossip.

However, along the way, both sides have experienced too much gossip, which is well known all over the world. In their view, meeting before marriage is just a small thing.

"Let's go and enjoy the lanterns. It's new year's Eve. How can we miss it!" Merton Lang said.

He and Princess Changle fell in love on New Year's Eve last year. Now the lights are shining on Zhuque street, as if they had met at the beginning.

Walking in the lively rosefinch street, they were like an ordinary lover. They were surprised to see a wonderful acrobatics. Even a small ornament could make them curious about the selection for a long time. Merton broke several lantern riddles and won a beautiful lantern. The Lord of Changle picked it in his hand and showed it off like a proud peacock.

On both sides of rosefinch street, from time to time, the beautiful singing of the singer came. What they sang was their love word "jade case · New Year's Eve". The people around talked about Merton's love story with relish. They listened with interest and looked at each other from time to time, which could not help but breed feelings in their hearts.

They toured the whole Zhuque street and left their figures everywhere, but they were still not happy until Liu e hinted several times on the branches of the moon that they were separated.
