Chapter 117
Li Ke's guards stepped forward with swords, although they were single-handed, but their momentum was not as good as that at all, and they shouted at the surrounding army: "I am Jiang Yu, the guard in front of His Royal Highness King Wu, and His Royal Highness King Wu is in charge of the construction site here, what do you want to do by surrounding this place?" ”
After Jiang Yu said this, but no one paid attention to the army on the opposite side, he saw a group of cavalry from the front get out of the middle, and a general wearing gold armor and riding a black horse with a horse whip in his hand walked out of the middle. And this person Jiang Yu also knew as Li Ke's guard, and he was Hou Junji, the general of the dynasty.
"Boy, you go back and tell His Royal Highness King Wu that General Ben is now alive again, and please forgive him, and when General Ben takes down the thief, His Royal Highness King Wu will come to ask for guilt!" Hou Junji said to Jiang Yu. After speaking, he raised his right hand to clean up, and saw the soldiers around him quickly rushing towards the construction site and the workshop and other places to start arresting the craftsmen and slaves working on the cement road.
Jiang Yu saw that this Hou Junji was playing really, and hurriedly turned around and went back to ask Li Ke for instructions. But who would have thought that Li Ke and Qin Feng were not far behind Jiang Yu, and the two of them walked up.
"General Hou, what's the matter with you arresting my workers?" Li Ke stepped forward and asked Hou Junji.
Hou Junji saw that it was Li Ke, and hurriedly dismounted and saluted Li Ke: "The minister Hou Junji meets His Royal Highness King Wu!" And the soldiers and soldiers behind Hou Junji saw Hou Junji saluting, and they also dismounted and saluted Li Ke's place and shouted: "Meet His Royal Highness King Wu!" ”
Li Ke ignored everyone, but continued to question Hou Junji: "General Hou, these are my workers, what do you mean by arresting my workers now?" ”
"Back to His Royal Highness, the minister investigated, someone was making trouble here just now, causing a great shock around the surroundings, for the safety of Chang'an City, the minister had to come over to check. After all, His Majesty's ministers also have to give an explanation. Hou Junji said to Li Ke.
Li Ke and Qin Feng glanced at each other, they didn't expect the garrisons around Chang'an to find out here so quickly, it seems that Li Shimin has to go there, after all, such things will happen every day in the future.
"General Hou doesn't have to worry about this matter, I already know who is so-called in this matter, this king will enter the palace and show his father, you can take someone back!" Li Ke said to Hou Junji.
"It's Your Highness, the minister is retiring!" Hou Junji saluted Li Ke, turned around and left with the army, and before leaving, he looked at Qin Feng and nodded, and smiled. Qin Feng was a little inexplicable. This is also the first time I have seen Hou Junji, and I didn't know him before.
"Fengzi, don't go back to Qinzhuang, come into the palace with me and explain it later!" Li Ke turned his head to look at Qin Feng and said with a wry smile.
"Sooner or later, you go and arrange the workers to work first, I'll wait for you in the tent!"
"Good!" Li Ke agreed and left to arrange the workers, while Qin Feng ran to rest in the tent alone.
Half an hour later, Qin Feng and Li Ke sat in Li Ke's carriage, with more than a dozen guards, all the way to Chang'an.
"Fengzi, how can you tell your father when you enter the palace, this thing can't be experimented in the palace!" Li Ke looked embarrassed, and didn't know how to tell Li Shimin when he entered the palace.
"Tell me the truth, do what you have to do!" Qin Feng didn't take this to heart at all, it was all discovered, it was not enough to tell the truth, and such a big thing could not be easily concealed.
An hour later, the two arrived at the gate of the palace, Qin Feng and Li Ke got out of the carriage and walked towards the Taiji Palace.
After passing through the passage of the eunuch at the door, the two entered the Taiji Hall. As soon as I entered the hall, I saw the eldest grandson Wuji, Qin Qiong and other princes, as well as Hou Junji, who I had just seen at the construction site.
"Son-in-law Li Ke visits his father!"
"Minister Qin Feng greets Your Majesty!"
"Get up! Why are you two so free? Li Shimin asked the two with a smile, and the other princes also looked at the two with smiles, which made the two of them a little confused, you must know that Hou Junji arrived so long earlier than himself, could it be that Hou Junji didn't report the things on the construction site? But at this time, it's the same for yourself.
"Father, the child and Qin Feng have something to report!" Li Ke opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.
"What's the matter, tell me!"
Li Ke looked at Qin Feng and motioned for Qin Feng to say, after all, he couldn't tell the explosives, Qin Feng was helpless when he saw this, so he had to take a step forward, salute Li Shimin, and said: "Your Majesty, a few days ago, His Royal Highness King Wu repaired the road to the front of the mountain, and it was impassable, the only way is to detour, but if it is detoured, it will violate the original intention of the cement road, so the minister studies a thing, you can open the mountain and blow up the stone, and let the cement road pass directly through the mountain." It's called Dynamite! Today's experiment has been successful! ”
"Can you open a mountain and blow up rocks? How powerful is that? Li Shimin can still stay calm after hearing this, it seems that this Hou Junji is afraid that he has already reported it, and it is Li Shimin and everyone who are pretending to be stupid.
"The power is okay, the progress of opening the mountain today is about ten steps." Qin Feng thought for a while and said.
"Ten steps?" Li Shimin was a little confused about Qin Feng's statement.
"Let's put it this way, taking the city gate of Chang'an City as an example, you can blow up the city gate with ten catties of explosives." Qin Feng gave an example very inappropriately.
"What, you're going to blow up the gates?" Li Shimin was furious.
"Your Majesty is angry, this is an example, not to blow up the city gate!" Qin Feng hurriedly explained, you don't know how powerful this is, I won't give you an example.
"I can't say it! Go get me explosives, I'll see if it's as good as you say!" Li Shimin took the opportunity to knock on Qin Feng's bamboo bar.
"Your Majesty, today's explosives are used up, and they are all used to open the mountain, and tomorrow, there will be a mountain explosion on the construction site tomorrow, you can go and watch it then." Don't bring explosives into the palace, if you blow up your palace, you will be responsible for your death. Qin Feng hurriedly said, this palace is important, in case there is a little mistake, he can't afford this responsibility, and the explosives explosion can not be divided between you and me.
"Yes, father, the explosives are too powerful, and they are not suitable for demonstration in the palace, you should go to the construction site tomorrow to see this!" Li Ke also understood what Qin Feng meant, and said to Li Shimin.
"The minister seconded the proposal!" Hou Junji on the side stood up and said to Li Shimin: "The minister's military account is more than thirty miles from the construction site of His Royal Highness King Wu's road, but it can still be rushed to the ground to shake, which is enough to show that this thing is extraordinary, for the safety of His Majesty, please move outside the palace to check!" ”
Li Shimin saw that Hou Junji also said this, but seeing that this thing was really dangerous, he thought about it and said to Li Ke and Qin Feng: "You two, prepare well before going down tomorrow, I will lead the ministers to check, if it is really as powerful as you said, I will be rewarded." Let's go! ”
