A few carriages quietly went out of the city, accompanied by Chu He, Li Shimin did not call the Praetorian Guard, but brought a few personal ministers to witness the siege weapons that Chu He said.

And Chu He, there is only one person by his side, yes, only Meng Linglong, this kind of thing is not suitable for Changle and Yan'er, and the wedding date has been set, they are now brides to be married, and they have to rush to marry and prepare the dowry, and there is no time to put it off.

The car stopped in a suburb, it was silent, Chu He got out of the carriage, his consciousness spread, and he said to Li Shimin, who got off the car behind: "There is no one in a radius of ten miles here, we can start the experiment." ”

Watching Chu He lift the cloth on the car, three things like big packages appeared.

Li Shimin and several ministers gathered around and began to talk nonsense.

"Lord, what is this?"

"Lord Wang, this is what you said about attacking the city and grabbing the land, it doesn't look like it!" Cheng Yanxin said, and stretched out a hand, grabbed a package in his hand and padded it, more than ten catties, not too heavy.

The eldest grandson Wuji leaned down, sniffed, and said, "It seems to have the smell of saltpeter, which is very pungent." ”

What is inside, Li Shimin knows very well, but at this moment, he pouted his hands and did not speak, he just wanted to see the results of the experiment, it didn't matter what the process was, he believed that as long as the result was what he wanted, King Xiaoyao would naturally hand over the method of production to him.

At this moment, he was also a little skeptical about how powerful this wrapping-like thing was.

Chu He instructed a few generals to place one of the packages under a boulder, a stone mountain full of granite, with messy vegetation and dark rocks, with dried folds, but they were all extremely hard.

The first package was stuffed into a stone crevice, Cheng Yanjin lit it with his own hands, his expression was indifferent, he hadn't even left, he turned around and shouted towards Chu He: "Lord Wang, is this the case, Lao Cheng has done nothing wrong!"

Chu He was a little speechless and said: "If you don't want to die, stay away, if you are killed, don't blame this king for not warning you in advance." ”

Hearing this, Wei Chi Gong, who was beside Chu He, immediately shouted urgently: "Zhijie, old goods, run away, do you dare not listen to the words of the prince, don't die?"

Cheng Biting Jin at this time, just ran away, just ran away more than ten steps, there was a loud "boom" behind him, like a thunder from the sky, the stone wall was blown up, a big hole was blown up, falling rocks flew, Cheng Biting Jin pounced forward, was shocked to lie on the ground, some small stones, fell on his body, the clothes behind him, were cracked out of a big hole.

Cheng Yanjin had his back to him, so he didn't see it clearly, but Chu He took a group of people, but he watched it head-on, and saw this scene clearly, this is simply a kind of divine and ghost power, such a hard boulder was blown up all of a sudden, and such a big hole was blown out.

Yu Chigong helped Cheng Yanjin up, this guy grinned in pain, but Chu He didn't pity him, this guy asked for himself, obviously he confessed, he was still twittering, and he was lucky not to blow him up.

"How about Your Majesty, if such a bag of explosives is used to blow up the city, no city tower should be able to withstand it?"

"Explosives bag, is this an explosives bag, it's so powerful, it's just a god from heaven, once it is used in the army, the siege battle is simply a big weapon. ”

No matter how magnificent the city tower is, it is not as hard as the whole piece in front of you.

Li Shimin was also a little stunned, he was frightened, and said: "Sure enough, it's a gift, Brother Chu, this gift is accepted for my brother, and in the future of the Tang Dynasty, there will be no unbreakable city." ”

Chu He picked up the second explosive bag and said: "After igniting, the time for the explosives to explode is related to this fire, the fire is long and long, the fire is short, and the time is short, you can control yourself, okay, there are two left, this king will do it himself." ”

Chu He carried two explosives bags, his figure rose instantly, his hand stretched out, the silver light flashed, and the sword intent was like a wave, and he suddenly cut a gap in the hundred-meter-high giant cliff, this kind of power is indeed no different from an immortal.

Chu He stuffed two explosives bags into them, lit the flames, and the people had already flown away.

After two loud bangs, the whole stone cliff was blown into two, and the huge stones on it fell down from mid-air, and the big trees encountered along the way were all knocked down, and the whole mountain was a mess.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, Chu He said: "The power has not been fully exerted, because the purity of the material is not enough, these things, this king does not care, you need to develop and test by yourself, increase the power, this is the secret recipe for preparation, Your Majesty accept it, but there is a sentence that this king can tell you, gunpowder is only the basis of hot weapons, or in the future, you can develop stronger firearms, but you must know that weapons are not good or bad, it depends on whose hands they hold, and use them carefully." ”

On the way back, Meng Linglong, whose heart was still not calm, looked at Chu He and said, "Lord Wang, how can there be such a powerful weapon in the world, then wouldn't those who cultivate martial arts like us be slaughtered in the future?"

Chu He patted the woman's head and said: "That can only show that you are not strong enough, this gunpowder is only the most initial, and the power is not great, this king knows that there is a firearm, as long as it falls in the Tang Dynasty, it can raze the sixteen continents of the Tang Dynasty to the ground, and that is the strongest weapon." ”

Meng Linglong's face turned pale and said, "This is unimaginable. ”

Chu He smiled and said: "Okay, don't imagine if you can't imagine it, anyway, this has nothing to do with Datang, the initial gunpowder is already the strongest, with Linglong's cultivation, as long as you are ten steps away, it is impossible to be injured, and if you are careful, nothing will happen." ”

"Today, I have seen that Datang has some sharp weapons, how dare those foreign races compete, or as the prince said, the future Datang will become the strongest overlord in the world, and it is the blessing of Datang to have the prince here. ”

Chu He shook his head and said: "What can be given has been given, but the future of the Tang Dynasty is not in my hands, in the hands of the entire Tang people, let's go and see, Your Majesty is a Ming monarch, a male lord, but who knows if the next generation of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is the same? ”

"What the prince said is, the prince, you are going to marry Princess Changle, so will Linglong also be included in the room?"

Chu He asked, "What, Linglong also wants to marry this king?"

Meng Linglong blushed and said shyly: "Linglong doesn't have this blessing, but it's good to be the wife of the palace, I just want to be with the prince for the rest of my life, free in the world, carefree." ”

Chu He said: "You delicate little beauties, why bother me so cheaply, Linglong, this is your life, you can't be impulsive." ”

"Once the prince was mistaken, Linglong once thought about what he would be like in the future, but the appearance of the prince satisfied all Linglong's fantasies, and in this life, except for the prince, Linglong will never like any man again. ”

"You girls, you are so stupid. ”

This is a different kind of taste, at least in the city where Chu He lives, it is rare to see, in the old house of the Chu family, there are many women, but women in the new era are definitely not like Tang women, so dead-eyed, and they will not leave life and death if they are identified, and that chaste heart is rare and valuable.

"It's hard to be by the prince's side, no matter how stupid Linglong is, I'm willing. As he spoke, his face became even more ashamed, and he actually turned his body closer to Chu He and squeezed into Chu He's arms.

"Lord Wang, Linglong has no regrets. ”

"Forget it, go home, go home. Chu He really didn't dare to move at the moment, he would take advantage of others when he moved, although he could feel it, Linglong in his arms had an excellent figure, just like Shang Xiufang, although Shang Xiufang looked noble and magnificent, but she was wearing the usual robe and dress, if she hadn't become her man and seen all the colors, she really didn't know that her figure would be so hot.

With gunpowder as a gift, it is estimated that Li Shimin will be busy for a few days, and he will not come to the palace to disturb him again, and Chu He is also happy to be idle and enjoy his time in Datang.

Chu He is idle, but there are many people in the Tang Dynasty who are not idle, like those ministers, families, have found Li Shimin, since His Majesty has issued an order, gave Princess Changle the title, became the princess of Xiaoyao Palace, and the daughter of the eldest grandson family became a side concubine, the identity of the two Rufei Ping has become the focus of their contention.

Because Mrs. Rufei Ping is also the wife and children of the prince, and the others are also concubines, wives and concubines, and their identities are very different, but these people who are competing don't know that this is actually useless to Chu He.

Li Shimin didn't expect that just after getting a gift from Chu He, these ministers and the head of the family gave gifts again, and they were still heavy gifts, which made people unbearable to refuse.

"Your Majesty, what kind of problem are you encountering, seeing that your brows are furrowed?" Empress Changsun sent the soup and made it herself, she lived in the Xiaoyao Mansion for a few days and learned to make soup, although it was very light, but it tasted good, and it was very suitable for Li Shimin's appetite.

Li Shimin handed over the gift list in his hand and said, "The queen looks at these gift lists, they are all asking me for the position of the concubine and wife of the King of Carefree, and I want to make my decree come true. ”

Empress Eldest Sun also looked a little surprised, and said: "These people are really willing to give up their old capital, and the position of a princess in the palace is so sought-after?"

Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said: "Then it depends on who it is, even if my Li family prince wants to accept the concubine, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the family to send a concubine, but the King of Freedom is different." ”

Empress Changsun nodded and said: "That's true, Your Majesty, you don't know, for the position of Yan'er's side concubine, my good eldest brother promised many benefits to the concubine, it is rare that he can be so generous once, and the concubine really has no way to refuse, so he should charge the inner treasury for His Majesty." ”

Li Shimin said: "Yan'er's matter has been decided, the queen said, what should I do about these? Some people, even if they are me, it is not easy to refuse, but the quota is not enough, how should it be divided?"

Empress Changsun was also a little embarrassed, and said: "Yes, these people have come forward to intercede, Your Majesty is indeed a little difficult, I agreed to this, and offended that, but ...... The concubines have thought of a way, Your Majesty, the concubines feel that Your Majesty can make a special exception for King Xiaoyao and increase the concubine position, I believe that as the King of Xiaoyao, no one will object. ”

"It's a good idea, I really didn't think of it for a while, but how can I increase it?"

Empress Changsun said: "It depends on how many of these gift lists Your Majesty can't refuse, anyway, it's just a concubine place, we won't suffer, it should be regarded as a reward for Brother Chu, after all, Brother Chu gave such a country's important weapon as a gift, Your Majesty can't help but return the gift!"

"This is a great good, the queen is really smart, and she solved the big trouble for me at once. ”

"Someone. ”

"Your Majesty. ”

"Summoning all the ministers to the Council of Ministers at once, I have important matters to discuss with them. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty.

The royal family also has royal rules, some rules have been formed for thousands of years, and they have strong binding force, even the emperor can't do whatever he wants, but the matter of King Xiaoyao is unique through the ages, Li Shimin feels that no one should object.

After all, it must just be a few more concubines and a few grades higher, which is not a big deal for King Xiaoyao.
