Yang Qi naturally couldn't hold it in. Seeing that no one was around, he whispered, "Aunt, please don't tell anyone about this. This is just my guess. If I'm wrong, it'll be a big joke."
"Don't be long-winded. Tell me quickly!"
Madam Qin said anxiously.
Yang Qi whispered, "Assistant Minister Li found us just now and asked us to wait for him at the Illustrious Virtue Gate before the morning assembly tomorrow. On the way, we saw him setting up a route at the Vermilion Bird Avenue. I'm guessing that the Ten Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Plan is about to succeed. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a big fuss. He even asked the Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon to take leave to go to the Illustrious Virtue Gate. Don't you think so?"
"Are you for real? You can't lie to me. "
"Aiyo! I wouldn't dare! This is absolutely true. There's no mistake about it. "
Yang Qi said hurriedly.
"I know. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about it."
Madam Qin smiled and muttered to herself, "This is such a good thing. I'll definitely go and join in the fun tomorrow. Hehe!"
Although she said that she would not speak carelessly, this fellow was also someone who could not hold back. Moreover, if she wanted to go and take a look, it would be too lonely for her to go alone. At the very least, she had to tell her closest sisters. Thus, she told this news to a few of her sisters, and it was difficult for them to hold back from telling their husbands and children. As a result, the scope of the spread of the news increased.
It was the same with Chen Zhuang and Li Long. They couldn't help but tell the people they were most familiar with, who in turn told the people they were most familiar with. If things went on like this, it would only be a matter of time before word got out.
Fortunately, they received the news at night. As a result, the news didn't spread widely. The next morning, most of the people who received the news were rushing to the Illustrious Virtue Gate. Naturally, they didn't have time to spread the news. They only stopped to spread the news when they met people they knew on the way. Then, they would bring those people to the Illustrious Virtue Gate to join in the fun.
The morning court session was really early. Because every minister's residence was a certain distance away from the palace, they still needed to eat breakfast. Therefore, they had to wake up even earlier. And the servants in the house had to wake up even earlier. It was quite tiring for them.
After eating breakfast, Ang Lee set off for the Great Ming Palace. Because Ang Lee lived outside the southern gate of the capital, the nearest route was through the Vermilion Bird Avenue. This meant that he had to pass through the Illustrious Virtue Gate. When Ang Lee's carriage arrived at the Illustrious Virtue Gate, he was shocked. There were many people on both sides of the gate and on both sides of the city walls.............. that................................................................................
"Why are there so many people here? That's way too many! . There are too many people on the city gate. "
Ang Lee said.
Soon, a few technicians ran over from below the city gate.
"Assistant Minister Li, Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon, and many other important people are here."
"Is the machine ready?"
Ang Lee asked.
"It's ready. Last night, we put the box in the city gate. There are ten people taking turns to guard it. There won't be any problems."
"Good. You guys go up and get ready. Let's drive. "
Ang Lee touched the box beside him and said.
The first phone was on the city gate of the Illustrious Virtue Gate. The second phone was in Ang Lee's carriage. Ang Lee wanted to bring the phone into the Political Announcement Hall personally to conduct this grand experiment.
The carriage continued to move forward. On the city gate of the Illustrious Virtue Gate, Li Yu and a group of nobles were leisurely watching the sunrise. The small door on the city gate was still locked. They had nothing to do and could only watch the sunrise to pass the time.
Soon, the considerate guards at the city gate brought some simple chairs for everyone to sit and wait. It was too tiring to stand all the time. Sitting and waiting was not a bad idea.
However, because there were too few chairs, only a few people were given the opportunity to sit. Most of these opportunities were taken by the older people. Li Yu saw that many people were older, so he gave the opportunity to those who needed it more. He continued to stand and watch the sunrise. Anyway, there was not much time left before the morning court. He just had to wait a little longer.
"There seems to be someone in the house! Why is he locked inside? "
A fellow who came to watch the show saw a figure moving about in a room on the city gate tower. However, the door was locked, so the person inside was naturally locked inside.
This was also Li An's arrangement. In order to prevent people from asking questions, he had locked the ten people in charge of guarding the telephone in the city gate tower. The key was in the hands of someone else. As long as the morning assembly started, the door would be opened and the experiment would begin.
"The three of you must have leaked the news last night. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people here. Am I right?"
Li Yu looked at the few people who drank with him last night and asked.
The three of them laughed helplessly. They didn't deny the fact that they had leaked the news.
In fact, Li Yu didn't hold back either. He had also told the person who slept next to him. Didn't he just see his brother-in-law loitering around on the city wall?
Some people had arrived a long time in advance, while others had arrived on time. However, even the latest ones had arrived at the city gate before the morning assembly, waiting for the exciting moment.
"Why are there so many people here? There's no place to stand."
"This is nothing. Turn around and look. There are still many people on the way. There will be more people later. "
"Can we really hear His Majesty's words from here?"
"How can it be fake? It can't be wrong. Let's wait patiently!"
"Look, even the Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon is here. It can't be wrong."
"That's not all! The Imperial Concubine's sisters are here too. They are admiring the sunrise on the eastern city wall. "
"Oh, it's true. With so many influential people here, it can't be fake. The morning court is about to start. We'll see the results very soon."
Everyone gathered together to discuss.
The Illustrious Virtue Sect was in a heated discussion. Outside the Political Announcement Hall, many officials were also in a heated discussion. They looked up at the sky and saw the electric wires that they had not seen a few days ago. This confirmed their suspicions.
"Have you all heard? The Ten Thousand Miles Telepathy succeeded. "
"Oh, I heard about it too. If that's the case, that's great. It'll be so convenient to communicate in the future."
"Look, Assistant Minister Li is here. He's carrying a big box. Could that be the machine that can transmit telepathy?"
"Let's go and ask. We'll know once we ask."
A group of people gathered around as they chatted.
Li An raised his head and saw dozens of smiling faces approaching him. Instantly, he felt very uncomfortable. These smiling faces were too ugly, and just looking at them made him feel uncomfortable.
"Assistant Minister Li, what's in that box?"
"Is that the machine that can transmit telepathy?"
"Can you open it and let us take a look?"
"Open it and take a look! It doesn't look big! "
A group of people said.
Ang Lee stared at them and said, "Where did you hear that?"
"Hehehe, Assistant Minister Li, just say yes or no."
"Can such a small machine really transmit telepathy?"
"The Illustrious Virtue Sect should have a similar machine, right?"
Ang Lee smiled and said, "You even know about the Illustrious Virtue Sect. I wanted to give you a surprise, but now you all know. Sigh! How boring. "
"Since that's the case, take it out and let us take a look! Let's see what it looks like. "
"Open it! We can't wait any longer. "
Ang Lee waved his hand and said, "No, no. His Majesty hasn't seen it yet. How can you see it first? There's no rush. The court session is about to begin. You don't have to rush. Go back and get in line. "
With that, he carried the box and walked to the door of the main hall. He really didn't give anyone face.
However, no one had any objections to Ang Lee. Everyone was waiting anxiously. Some who knew about the situation were waiting anxiously. There were even more who didn't know about the situation and were busy asking about the situation. They wanted to know what Ang Lee had taken.
"It doesn't look very heavy! Can I hold it for a while? "
Yang Guozhong was next to Ang Lee. When he saw Ang Lee carrying the box, he asked curiously. Naturally, he had heard about it long ago. The moment Ang Lee opened his mouth, it meant that everyone in the clan knew about it.
Ang Lee nodded. "It's not very heavy. However, if you break it, it would be troublesome. We'll have to wait a month before we can test it again."
"It shouldn't break if you don't drop it, right?"
Yang Guozhong said.
Ang Lee said, "Not necessarily. If you shake it too much, it could break. These machines are very expensive. It's very easy to break them."
"Oh, then forget it. I won't touch it. I won't touch it."
Yang Guozhong couldn't bear the responsibility of breaking the machine. If the emperor found out about it in a month, he would be skinned alive. After all, everyone was waiting anxiously. If anyone dared to cause trouble at this time, it would cause a lot of anger.
After the morning court session began, everyone entered the main hall. Because of the need to carry the machine, Ang Lee stood in front of everyone else, making it easier for them to install the machine.
By this point, all of the court officials knew that the transmission machine was about to be tested. However, the emperor was still in the dark. Gao Lishi was a cautious person, and didn't say anything rash.
The box in his arms was very conspicuous. As soon as Li Longji entered the main hall, he saw Ang Lee. After bowing, he said, "What is that treasure in your arms, Minister Li?"
Ang Lee quickly replied, "Your Majesty, this is the transmission machine. Now that the test is successful, I'm here to present it to Your Majesty and let you and your colleagues witness it."
Li Longji was overjoyed. He said, "Oh, it's a success. That's great. How do we test it?"
Ang Lee stepped forward and said, "I'd like to borrow Your Majesty's imperial desk. Let's connect the machine first, then we can start the test."
Li Longji nodded. Immediately, a young eunuch carried the case over and placed it three meters in front of the emperor.
Ang Lee put the wooden box on the case. Then, he gently opened the wooden box and took out the machine inside.
When the machine was taken out, everyone's eyes were fixed on it. They whispered to each other in private. This was the first time they had seen such a strange machine. Naturally, they were very curious about it. They wondered how this machine was used and how it could transmit sound.
Li Longji was the closest. He couldn't see how such a strange-looking machine could transmit sound over such a long distance. He was very puzzled.
At the same time, the small door at the Illustrious Virtue Gate was opened. Some of the people gathered outside entered the room. However, because the room was too small, not too many people could enter at once. Li Yu gave an order and blocked most of the people outside. Less than fifty people entered the room. The rest could only watch anxiously. It was their fault for being too low in status. If their status was higher, they wouldn't be treated like this.
"This is the transmission machine. It looks so strange!"
Li Yu walked at the front and asked curiously.
The technician in charge of guarding the phone quickly replied respectfully, "You're right, Sir. This is the transmission machine that Assistant Minister Li just developed. We tested it yesterday afternoon. It can transmit sound."
As this guy didn't know Li Yu, he could only address him as Sir.
"Oh, it seems like we guessed right. Hurry up and transmit the sound!"
Li Yu said anxiously.
"Not yet. Assistant Minister Li asked us to answer the call. When this bell rings later, we can pick it up and speak."
"When will it ring?"
"When Assistant Minister Li is on the other end of the line, it will ring."
"Alright, there's no hurry. We'll wait patiently."
Although Li Yu said there was no hurry, he was actually quite anxious.
In the Political Announcement Hall, Ang Lee connected the wire to the back of the phone skillfully. Then, he checked it carefully. After confirming that there was no problem, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I'm ready. I'll call the Illustrious Virtue Gate now."
Li Longji walked over and gestured for Ang Lee to hurry up.
Ang Lee pressed the knob gently. His movements were smooth and graceful. Then, he picked up a piece and placed it in front of his ear and mouth.
"Beep, beep, beep …"
Above the city gate of the Illustrious Virtue Gate, another phone rang. Instantly, everyone in the room looked anxiously at this strange machine. Some of them were even shocked.
"It's ringing. What should we do?"
Li Yu asked anxiously.
"Pick this up and place this end on your ear. Just put this end to your mouth."
Li Yu nodded. Then, he picked up the phone nervously and placed it next to his ear.
After picking up the phone, Ang Lee heard all the sounds in the room. He knew that the call was connected.
"Hello, who is this?"
Ang Lee asked.
