Chapter Forty-Eight: Can This Thing Explode?
Wu Yue stood up with a sneer, turned around, and walked in the direction of the study.
Half an hour later, Sandezi bowed down and walked into the dormitory quickly, leaned over, walked quickly to the bookcase, and handed several pieces of paper to the bookcase with both hands.
"Master, these are simple fireworks and gunpowder recipes written by firecracker artists. They say that the master is a beginner, so he has to start with simple pyrotechnic production. This way, it's safer. Sandezi bowed slightly, waved towards Wu Yue, and said softly.
Wu Yue nodded, picked up the paper with one hand, spread it on the bookcase, and pretended to study it seriously, but he lowered his voice, and said to Sandezi, "Let go of the defense of Jingren Palace, so that those spies can get the news that I am studying firecrackers." ”
"Master, I have done what I willed. Rest assured, spies, this should be in action. Sandezi leaned down and responded in a low voice. Then he slowly took a few steps back and stood behind Wu Yue.
Wu Yue nodded, his eyes moved down, and he looked at the mine gunpowder ratio he had listed under the tiled paper.
"I wonder if this thing can be fried? But let's try this ratio first. Wu Yue said secretly in his heart. His heart is also bottomless. After all, in this regard, I can say that I have no experience at all. Even with this matching knowledge, I can't be sure whether I have learned it or not.
Wu Yue stood up, took the small jars placed on the bookcase, and gently opened them......
Since there was no sophisticated instrument, Wu Yue used the smallest soup spoon in the palace that Su Malagu brought to him. So even if Wu Yue calculated carefully, he still prepared it and looked like there was more than a pound of gunpowder.
"Is it done?" Wu Yue poured the last spoonful of gunpowder into it and said with a frown.
When Sandezi and Li Dong heard this, they all looked towards the bookcase.
The pile of black gunpowder made Li Dong and Sandezi a little dumbfounded.
"Master, so many?" Sandezi couldn't help frowning.
Wu Yue shrugged, "Don't talk nonsense, bring the can." Wu Yue looked sideways at Sandezi next to him, raised his hand and pointed to the porcelain vase placed on the Bogu shelf directly opposite the sleep collapse and said.
Sandezi bowed in response, stepped forward quickly, and hugged the porcelain altar with both hands.
Wu Yue stood up, picked up the configured gunpowder in both hands, and seriously threw it into the porcelain altar.
"It almost ignited the device." Wu Yue looked at this oversized mine, and finally showed a smile on his face, and said secretly in his heart.
"Master, are you done?" At this time, Su Malagu held a cup of tea in both hands, walked over slowly, placed it lightly on the desk, and raised her eyes to the porcelain altar.
Wu Yue nodded, looked up with a smile, and looked at Su Ma, "Well, it's almost." Oh yes, you go get a few strips of coarse cloth and lamp oil. There's no twist, this thing doesn't matter. ”
Su Malagu nodded and quickly retreated.
More than ten minutes later, Su Malagu walked in with a pile of white cloth in both hands. This made Wu Yue a little surprised, and sighed that Su Malagu's work efficiency was too high.
He knew in his heart that after all, this was the palace, not a tailor's shop. It's not easy to get these things in such a short period of time!
"Su Ma, neat enough." Wu Yue couldn't help but chuckle and came to Su Ma's side, gave him a thumbs up, and raised his hand to signal Li Dong and Sandezi to take the strip of cloth and stretch it out.
"These things are not lacking in our palace now. The state funeral is about to begin, and the filial piety clothes of the courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty are all provided by the imperial court. In the past few days, the manufacturing office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been in a hurry day and night and is speeding up production. So these things, as long as you go to the manufacturing office, you can get them. Su Malagu bowed down to help Sandezi spread out the cloth strips and said.
When Wu Yue heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he was stunned.
"It seems that the day I ascended the throne was the time of the state funeral. The reason why Sony did this must be that he wanted me to ascend the throne and become emperor, so that I could justify it. Wu Yue said silently in his heart.
"Master, you take a break, what to do next, you can explain." Seeing that Wu Yue's face had become unnatural, Aunt Su Mala got up and bowed slightly towards Wu Yue and said. 、
Wu Yue nodded, "Pour and spread the remaining gunpowder on the table into the cloth strips, and then wrap them up and make them into strips, as thin as possible." Finally, plate it up and soak it in lamp oil! Wu Yue whispered, turned around and returned to the chair behind the bookcase, sat down, turned his face sideways, and looked out the window.
"The enthronement is a foregone conclusion. Now what Sony needs to worry about should be the eight kings who sit in Beijing, three of them. If they don't come out and obstruct it, it should be able to go on smoothly. I just don't know what Sony has come up with to stop these three. Can his method work in the end? Wu Yue thought of this, turned around sharply, and looked at Sandezi.
"Sandezi, pass the decree to Wei Dongting, enter the palace to see the driver!" Wu Yue said in a deep voice.
"Huh!" Sandezi felt Wu Yue's expression at this moment, hurriedly bowed down, and quickly retreated.
"Move fast." Wu Yue's face became quite solemn, looking at Su Malagu and Li Dong.
The two of them sped up their movements, and after more than ten minutes, the twist of the mine was completed. Li Dong picked up the twist and put it into the jar where the lamp oil was placed.
"This thing has to be tested as soon as possible, and it's too dangerous to be with a bomb that isn't sure if it's going to explode every day." Wu Yue glanced at the porcelain altar with a sideways face, and said secretly in his heart.
"Li Dong, this thing is a bit dangerous, you have to be optimistic." Wu Yue said in a deep voice.
"Huh! Minions obey! Li Dong responded, picked up the porcelain altar full of gunpowder with both hands, and placed it on the Bogu shelf farthest away from the collapse, and even the porcelain jar soaked in twists was carried by him to the corner where he thought it was the safest and he could see it at any time.
Wu Yue looked at Li Dong at this moment and nodded with satisfaction.
"Su Ma, in the past two days, has there been anything in the palace that I don't know about?" Wu Yue looked sideways, and Su Malagu, who was dealing with the remaining white cloth strips, asked softly.
Su Malagu stood up straight and responded, "On the day that the Qianqing Palace announced that the master was the crown prince, after Suo Zhongtang returned to the cabinet, a Jun order was issued, and the Internal Affairs Office began to make filial piety clothes, as well as secretly arrange matters related to the state funeral. The strength of the guards of the palace has also increased several times. The number of troops led by Bambulshan, the commander of the guards, increased from 4,000 to 8,000. The cabinet informed the court that Bamburshan had the right to temporarily arbitrarily mobilize 20,000 soldiers and horses from the Nine Gates Governor's Mansion to defend the palace. ”
"Cining Palace was also at that time, the decree of Yi was transmitted, no matter who is in the palace, no matter what happened to the emperor, if there is any disobedience to the decree and wanton spread the news, they will be punished according to the decree!"
Wu Yue listened quietly, without the slightest expression on his face.
"What else?" Wu Yue saw that Aunt Su Mala did not continue, and then asked.
