On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, it is a small year, the people of Shendu worship the god of the stove, fry the rice cakes, the aroma is pervasive, the laughter and laughter, there is already quite a bit of New Year's flavor.

Xue Chongyin did not go home on Chinese New Year's Eve, relying on Princess Yiyang's mansion, pestering Quan Ce to set off firecrackers together, the firecrackers at this time are actually burned dry bamboo, lucky to hear a few crackling sounds, bad luck, after a bamboo is burned, you can only see black smoke billowing out, and you can't even hear a sound.

The newly promoted little princess of Quanluo is not very lucky, a bamboo that looks strong burns from beginning to end, and there is no loud voice.

This is a big deal, Quan Luo grinned, the golden beans fell straight, and when he turned around and hugged Quan Ce's thigh, it was a burst of grinding, and the eldest brother screamed, which made Quan Ce's heart ache.

Quan Ce picked up his sister and coaxed him for a long time, but it didn't work, Quan Luo put his arms around his neck, crying so much that he almost lost his breath.

In desperation, Quan Ce had the courage to promise, "Don't worry, the eldest brother will give you the loudest artillery battle"

A few shouts, let the subordinates get some saltpeter, charcoal and sulfur, the proportion is unknown, the fear of almost put some, with sheep fat stirred evenly, packed in oiled paper bags, with the lamp oil soaked cotton thread string strings, each paper bag at the end of a knot, the two paper bags are about a handful of length apart.

Split a piece of bamboo, put the gunpowder bag inside, and wrap it around with hemp rope.

Quan Ce looked back and forth for a long time, and his heart was very uncertain, so he ordered the servants to set off in the vast school yard, and repeatedly told him to leave the children immediately after they were lit, and restrained all the children in the room, looking out of the window.

"Snort" the lead ignited, because the cotton thread was soaked in oil, the burning speed was not very fast, Quan Luo began to be disobedient again, twisted in Quan Ce's arms, hummed and chirped, many people around both sides did not dare to look at their own Dalang, for fear of hurting his face.

There was a bang of "bang", like a muffled thunder on dry land, and the world was suddenly quiet, and then every once in a while, there would be an explosion sounding, Quan Ce saved face, looked forward to himself, and secretly sighed, fortunately there was no squib.

"Da da da-dong...... Da Dong"

Xu is gunpowder is not very balanced, the explosion sound is different, small like a whip, big like thunder, to the end, but also a short time of flowers, the fly in the ointment is that the interval is too long, the bamboo pole is long, it took more than half an hour to finish.

"Giggles" Quan Luo was very happy, kissed Quan Ce on the face, struggled to the ground like a small spinning top, laughing and screaming, pouting with a small mouth, imitating the sound of firecrackers just now.

got the girl's fragrant kiss, Quan Ce was very happy, came out of the house, looked around, and couldn't help smacking his tongue.

The bamboo poles were blown up, sharp bamboo sticks flew everywhere, the servants who lit the fire, some people were pierced with bamboo sticks, and some people were shocked by the loud noise and their ears and eyes were bleeding.

"My son, what's going on?" Princess Yiyang and Princess Gao'an, the two sisters, as well as her uncle Wang Miao, who had not appeared for a long time, rushed over from the main courtyard together, followed by a large number of people who were rolling and crawling.

"Mother, it's okay, the child and cousin are teasing the younger brothers and sisters" Quan Ce hurriedly stepped forward to comfort, waved his hand and sent the injured subordinate down for treatment, the bamboo stick inserted in the body trembling and towering, it was too infiltrating, but the long crater that was blown out by gunpowder on the school field could not be covered.

Princess Yiyang couldn't help but worry, and pulled her three children, as well as Xue Chongyin, to check them one by one, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she was sure that there was nothing to do, Wang Miao walked to the pits, sniffed, squatted down to check, and her eyes flashed.

"Giggles, Da Lang is the most capable, and the blasting rod is different from other people's, hurry up, you can get another one for your aunt to see" Princess Gao An was happy, hugged Quan Ce and laughed, and asked him to continue.

"Auntie, I'll do it for you later, but now you have to deal with the outside first," Quan Ce smiled bitterly.

The servant of the porter in the middle of the conversation fell and ran over, panting loudly in his mouth, and grinning when he opened his mouth, "Princess, Dalang, it's not good, many people in the neighborhood have flocked to the door of our house, and the words are ugly, saying that our family has been struck by thunder."

"Bah, Hugh is talking nonsense, Quan Xiang, take him down to teach the rules" Princess Yiyang raised her eyebrows, and the momentum of the housewife was extraordinary, "Da Lang, my son, and go to explain the situation to the neighbors, so that they can disperse early, so as not to make trouble and disturb the purity of the New Year"

Quan Ce took the order and left, but when he got to the door, he saw that in addition to a large number of people looking outside the door, there were two rows of officials to maintain order, and it was Sima Wanglu who came to inquire about the situation, and when he saw Quan Ce going out, his legs and stomach turned a few times, and he moved forward with difficulty, "Quan Langjun, there is some movement in the house, and I was ordered to come to inquire about the situation"

"Well, your honor, please go back, the house is setting off firecrackers, the movement is a little bigger, it startles the neighbors, this is polite" The Quan Ce Group gave up, and the neighbors dispersed one after another, only Wang Lu still had a bitter face and did not move the place, and bowed again, "Quan Langjun, please forgive me for being rude, there is an order in the palace, just this sentence, I am afraid it is difficult to explain"

"Okay, wait for me to change my clothes, and walk with you into the palace" Quan Ce frowned.

Shangyang Palace, Guanfeng Palace.

Quan Ce explained the causes and consequences of making the blasting rod one by one, and then fell to the ground and pleaded guilty.

"You spoil them" Empress Wu sneered, she had no feeling for technology, but she didn't delve into it, her dressing style changed greatly, no longer wearing a skirt, but wearing a golden dragon robe, dressed like a man, slowly stepping down to His Majesty Dan, and helping him in vain, "I am the handle of the world's punishment and reward, and there is also the most difficult thing in the world, Fu Youyi is a place of slander and ridicule, and it is difficult to reward the merits, and his people do not know how to advance or retreat, act indiscriminately, and are proud of their achievements, what is the purpose of not dying?" ”

"Your Majesty is wise, Fu Youyi is immortal, and the country is difficult to peace" Quan Ce's heart was cold, and the Empress Wu put out his heart, but he was still so unbearable, it really made him feel uneasy.

Time has passed, Meihua Neiwei secretly directed Fu Youyi's death, it is difficult to call it a secret, he died reasonably, and his death made everyone relieve their hatred and anger, which is a good thing.

"I'm curious, how did you find out what I wanted?" Empress Wu stood in front of him, pushed his forehead, and met his eyes.

Quan Ce's heart was cold, and the expression on his face was extremely well managed, a little panicked, with a hint of confusion, "The minister acted recklessly, because Fu Youyi collided with Master Xue, and had a personal grudge with the minister, so he paid more attention to it and did some tricks, please forgive your majesty."

"Hehe, you are bold, it's just that, I don't care about you this time" Empress Wu sneered, raised it high, fell gently, and the words changed abruptly, "I heard that King Shu invited you to play polo, but you haven't answered?" ”

Quan Ce hung his head and was silent.

Empress Wu pinched his chin, breathing slightly, "Doulu Congchang and Di Guangyuan are both good boys, they have more contacts, it's nothing, play polo, strengthen their bodies, and work for me more."

Quan Ce's eyes were suddenly full of confusion, Doulu Congchang is the eldest son of Doulu Qinwang, Di Guangyuan is the eldest son of Di Renjie, Quan Ce is familiar with them, but after commanding the plum blossom internal guard, he took the initiative to distance himself from them.

This somewhat silly and silly expression appeared on the face of the scheming Quan Ce, which greatly pleased the Empress Wu, and sneered, "In the end, I am still young, I am too lazy to teach you, you disturb the Shendu, I don't blame you, it is difficult to block the mouths of the people, the internal guards should not be involved, go back to the Eastern Capital Qianniuwei, be a Qianniu preparation, guard the Vientiane Shrine, and retreat"

Life is a circle, and it will always return to the starting point.

Quan Ce frowned and retreated out of the hall, his face was full of gloom, but his heart was full of joy, he had been fluttering for so long, and he was finally able to get out of the internal guard, but unfortunately, cleaning up the stigma seemed to be a kick away.

As for the dumb riddle of the martial queen, it is not difficult to guess, the martial queen has already led the world, and the governance of the country will naturally not be as usual, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be too big to lose, the emperor's mental skills, checks and balances are the king's way.

Back at Princess Yiyang's mansion, Quan Ce was still worried, wondering when to go to King Shu's mansion to play polo, whether it was appropriate for the New Year, and he was afraid that he would have to wait until after the New Year.

"Da Lang, Shicai White Horse Temple sent a post, saying that it was invited by the Duke of Eguo"

Quan Ce raised his eyebrows, his eyes narrowed.
