"Huh? Dao Chief, gunpowder is a very important thing, and you can't talk nonsense. When Mo Shuyu heard that the gunpowder had been stolen, he was anxious. Gunpowder is not very complicated in the first place, and now there are countless alchemists in Datang who know gunpowder, but they don't know the best ratio. If the gunpowder is stolen, I am afraid that it only takes a little research for the alchemist to know the formula of the gunpowder in a few days.

"Exactly, and it was stolen from the Hou Ye's mansion." Yuan Tiangang looked at Mo Shuyu and said with a smile.

"Impossible, there are only a few earth-shattering thunders in my house when I developed the gunpowder formula at that time, and I am not allowed to enter the house except for me, and there are special people to defend it... Not good! Mo Shuyu thought about it, the place where Wang Youxue was held a few days ago seemed to be not far from there, and Mo Shuyu couldn't care about Yuan Tiangang anymore, so he ran quickly to the backyard. Uncle Fu, who came back from taking the wine, saw Mo Shuyu like this, threw down the wine jar and ran over.

Yuan Tiangang unhurriedly hugged a jar of wine and followed him into the backyard. As soon as he entered the backyard, he saw Mo Shuyu sitting on the ground, muttering to himself.

"This is miserable, not only is the earth-shattering thunder gone, but even the gunpowder formula has been stolen. What to do? Mo Shuyu sat on the ground and didn't know what to do, if the gunpowder was studied by others, the whole world would enter the age of firearms in advance, and I don't know how many people would die at that time. Moreover, if there is really a fight, with gunpowder, can Datang really win?

"Master Hou, this matter is very important, so let's report it to Your Majesty quickly." Uncle Fu, as Mo Shuyu's most trusted person, naturally knew that the gunpowder was hidden here, and seeing Mo Shuyu sitting on the ground, Uncle Fu also guessed what was happening.

"Dao Chief, come with me into the palace to face the saint." Mo Shuyu couldn't care too much at the moment, so he took Yuan Tiangang's hand and often ran away.

The next day, the armies of various places were mobilized, and the people of the Tang Dynasty were shocked for a while, only a few months have passed since the First Turkic War, and His Majesty is about to start the war again? The Chinese military officials of the DPRK were not clear, so the folds of the above book were piled up, and Li Shimin rejected them all, did not give any explanation, but closed the gate of Chang'an. The sixteen guards of Chang'an searched from house to house, and Chang'an City was allowed to enter but not to leave, and the entire Chang'an was in turmoil for a while.

Li Shimin can't control so much, the theft of gunpowder is a matter of great importance, and it is very likely to affect the national fortunes of the entire Tang Dynasty, and there is no room for half a difference. Even the construction of the Daming Palace, Li Shimin had to put it down.

"Okay, you're a royal family, are you really a bully?" Li Shimin pointed at Wang Shilin's nose and scolded in the Taiji Palace, Wang Shilin didn't know why.

"I really ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall, your Wang family is plotting against me?" Li Shimin was furious now, and kicked it as he spoke.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why is this? My Wang family has always been loyal to the Tang Dynasty and His Majesty. Why does Your Majesty treat me like this? Wang Shilin didn't understand what was going on at the moment, and wondered what was going on? Wang Youxue's attack on Mo Shuyu was not caught by Li Shimin, and Li Shimin also killed a lot of people from the Shi clan, it stands to reason that this matter is over, why is Li Shimin so angry?

"What about Wang Youxue? Where is Wang Youxue now? I will break it into pieces, and I will wipe out your Wang clan. As soon as Li Shimin heard Wang Shilin say this, he took out the sword on his waist and slashed at Wang Shilin.

Wang Shilin, an old Confucian, how could he have seen this battle, he was so frightened that he urinated.

"Your Majesty, no!" It was still Yuan Tiangang who was beside him, and he flew the sword in Li Shimin's hand with his bare hands.

"What do you mean, old man?" Li Shimin saw Yuan Tiangang knock his sword away, and he was furious in his heart, but he was afraid that Yuan Tiangang would be unfavorable to him. Unconsciously stepped back. "Sanfeng, are you trying to force the palace?"

"Your Majesty, Sanfeng doesn't dare. Yuan Daochang stopped His Majesty for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, and now Wang Youxue's whereabouts are still unknown, if His Majesty kills Wang Shilin at this time, I am afraid that the scholars will be killed with Your Majesty. Mo Shuyu also knew that Li Shimin was angry now, and he didn't dare to disobey him, so he persuaded him.

"I'm asking you once, where is Wang Youxue?" Li Shimin also felt justified when he heard this, so he didn't blame Yuan Tiangang much, and turned to look at Wang Shilin, who had already collapsed to the ground in fright.

"Haha, you can't find Youxue, he left long ago after escaping, and now I'm afraid he has already been out of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin, you wait, the ghost society will destroy your Datang. Hahaha. Wang Shilin also knew that he would definitely not be able to get out of the Taiji Palace alive this time, so he simply told the news that Wang Youxue had left Datang.

Hearing this, Li Shimin picked up the sword on the ground and cut off Wang Shilin's head with a sword.

"Come on, I will arrest all the people from the Taiyuan Wang family, and ask for beheading after the autumn." Li Shimin killed Wang Shilin, and ordered Qianniuwei to arrest all the people of the Taiyuan Wang family.

"Dao Chief, since you can calculate that the gunpowder was stolen, I wonder if you can calculate where Wang Youxue fled?" Yesterday, Mo Shuyu entered the palace and told Li Shimin about the theft of gunpowder overnight, and even how he met Yuan Tiangang. Li Shimin had also heard of Yuan Tiangang's name a long time ago, and without Wang Youxue's whereabouts at this moment, Li Shimin had no choice but to pin his hopes on Yuan Tiangang.

"Your Majesty, the old Tao has been counted before he comes, but I don't know where he fled to, and I can only calculate that the disaster of the Tang Dynasty lies in the southwest!" Yuan Tiangang also knew the importance of this matter, and said everything he had calculated without reservation.

"Southwest? Tibetan? Or is it more distant Tianzhu? Li Shimin muttered thoughtfully to himself.

"Your Majesty, now that Wang Youxue has escaped for only a few days, Your Majesty can send people to chase and kill, and the whole army is ready to face the incoming enemy at any time." Mo Shuyu looked at Li Shimin, who was deep in thought, and said what he thought in his heart.

"There is no need to worry about foreign enemies, what I am worried about is how many people are involved in this matter, one Taiyuan Wang clan is enough for me to worry about, if the scholars are all involved, I am afraid that what I have to worry about is not foreign enemies, but also internal strife." Li Shimin, as the emperor, naturally thought more than Mo Shuyu, even if Wang Youxue fled to Tubo or Tianzhu, and also had gunpowder, the Tang Dynasty was not afraid at all, even if the whole country was exhausted, it was still unknown who would die on both sides. On the contrary, if the five surnames and seven wangs all intervene and come in, Li Shimin doesn't know what to do.

"Sanfeng, if I fully support you in fighting the five surnames and seven wangs, how long will it take for you to defeat them?" Only then did Li Shimin feel that the influence of the Shi clan on the imperial power was too great, and decided to fully support Mo Shuyu's plan.

"Your Majesty, if it is just a simple blow to the five surnames and seven hopes, with the support of money and His Majesty, Sanfeng is confident that the influence of the five surnames and seven hopes will be minimized in Datang within one year, and the five surnames and seven hopes will be removed within three years!"
