As the night deepened, Li Shimin was also sleepy, and unconsciously fell asleep on the Huanghuali Imperial Case. Looking at such a scene, this very smart little yellow door gently stirred the charcoal fire of the charcoal basin, and at the same time added a few pieces of refined charcoal, in order to make the fire more vigorous and the temperature a little higher. After finishing all this, he casually took another fox fur and gently put it on Li Shimin......

At this moment, I saw a small attendant, hurriedly running over with his head down, and as soon as he crossed the threshold of this Hongwen Pavilion, he shouted loudly: "Your Majesty ......." As soon as he spit out this word, he suddenly raised his head, and found the sleeping Li Shimin and the little yellow door that couldn't stop beckoning, and immediately closed his mouth wide open, and at the same time lightened his steps!

Despite this, his "Majesty" still woke up Li Shimin, who seemed to be half-asleep. Lying on the table with his eyes closed, he asked, "Is there anything wrong?" ”

Hearing Li Shimin's question, he saw the little attendant, and hurriedly knelt down and returned: "The slave should be damned, disturb Your Majesty's rest."

"It's okay, let's talk, what's the matter?" Li Shimin still said on the table with his eyes closed.

"The governor of Guazhou sent a six-hundred-mile urgency, and the slave didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly sent it over."

Hearing this, Li Shimin's mind flashed: Six hundred miles of expedited, Guazhou, could it be that something happened? Bad thoughts came up in an instant, and then he sat up with a "ho", and suddenly sobered up a lot.

The little attendant also hurriedly took the opportunity to present the fire paint paperwork and retreated to the side with small steps.

After receiving this document, Li Shimin hurriedly dismantled the fire paint. If you don't worry about it at first glance, you will be happy by three points when you look at it again. It turned out that this was not a war report, but a good news, I saw it written: His Majesty the Emperor personally opened, the Tang Dynasty Master Xuanzang has traveled to foreign lands, has been nearly 19 years, and has arrived in Guazhou today, Weichen specially ordered the frame to escort 100 people, escorting Master Xuanzang to Chang'an, all hopes, Your Majesty suddenly thought!

I thought about it year after year, and I read it for autumn and autumn; I never thought that I would receive such good news today. A feeling of spontaneous joy instantly surged into Li Shimin's heart, and I saw him with tears of excitement, not only read it over and over again, but also kept muttering: "Master Xuanzang, you make me think so bitterly!" ”

It is precisely because since Wang Xuance returned from the mission, Li Shimin has heard too many people and told the demeanor of Master Xuanzang. I deeply regret that I can't reuse this talent, and let him wander to a foreign land; That's why this scene is here. I've been looking forward to it year after year, and today I'm finally looking forward to it!

As a result, Master Xuanzang's glorious journey in the Tang Dynasty has finally come......

After this incident, Li Shimin also sobered up a lot in an instant, put down the music at hand, and walked out of the Hongwen Pavilion in fox fur. Ascending high and looking into the distance, Chang'an City is brilliantly lit.

Suddenly, colorful fireworks were displayed in the sky above Chang'an City. With the deafening sound of explosions, the sparks of stars set off the sky as if it were day. Faced with this brilliant scene, Li Shimin was deeply surprised: What is this, it is so brilliant and dazzling.

When he was about to ask the reason, he saw Li Jin, the supervisor of the artillery, came to him with small steps, and reported: "Your Majesty, this is the ceremonial flower that Weichen successfully developed with gunpowder some time ago. On this full moon night, in order to present the atmosphere of our great Tang Dynasty, I will show it to Your Majesty and all foreign envoys tonight. ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin was very surprised, he never thought that this method of dispelling evil could be so magnificent.

I still remember that when the Tang Dynasty was first built, because of the war, the people were killed and injured countless times, and then the plague epidemic; Not only is it making the people miserable, but it is also full of miasma. This cannon supervisor was Li Jin, who was a warlock in a mountain at that time. In order to find a cure for miasma, Gaozu Li Yuan recruited talents from all over the country, and never thought that Li Yuan would come to unveil the list with firecrackers.

Although firecrackers at that time were just stuffed with black powder in the bamboo tube, a small hole was drilled, and then ignited with a fuse, causing the sound of explosions and the pungent smell of fire and gunpowder. But this method really suppressed the plague and the miasma, and the people have been healthy ever since.

Gaozu Li Yuan, seeing that he has a lot of research on black powder; So, at the suggestion of Li Shimin, this artillery supervisor was specially set up, with Li Ji as the supervisor, and it has been 20 years now.

In the past 20 years, Li Zhen has undergone continuous improvement, not only with a variety of tricks; Moreover, this firecracker was made into different shapes and different materials through the amount of filling.

After listening to his specific report, Li Shimin was also overjoyed. So he decided to take the civil and military ministers to choose an auspicious day and go to this artillery supervisor to check it out.

And outside this Daxing Palace, many people and envoys were also amazed by this glorious scene, what is this, why haven't they seen it before?

Wang Xuance and the three of them, who were on their way home, were also stunned by this scene. Therefore, following the direction of these ceremonial flowers, he walked to the door of the artillery superintendent. Although the door was closed at this time, it looked like it was bustling inside from the crack in the door.

And the bunches of ceremonial flowers rose from the huge courtyard behind the artillery superintendent; Zhou Zeng, who provoked this anxious son, immediately wanted to climb over the wall to go in and find out, but was stopped by Wang Xuance: "Forget it, I'll find out when I ask tomorrow."

So they turned and departed.

On the second day's court meeting, sure enough, many princes and important ministers were attracted by the gorgeous flowers of last night. Therefore, while Li Shimin had not yet arrived, he whispered in private and discussed: What is this, how can it appear in the night sky of my Datang?

Some say it's a bad thing, some say it's auspicious, in short, none of them can be held accurately and pinched. And Wang Xuance looked at Li Jin, the artillery supervisor, and saw him smiling and silent, as if he had realized something.

With a small yellow door singing loudly: "Your Majesty has arrived". Suddenly, the court was instantly silent; I saw this Li Shimin walking along the royal road, and walked up to the Taiji Hall of Daxing Palace. After Li Shimin sat on the throne, all the ministers performed this bowing ceremony.

After the ceremony, Li Shimin glanced at the ministers and looked at everyone's expressions of joy and worry. Then it became clear: it seemed to be exactly what was confused by last night's salute. Therefore, he bought Guan Zi and asked: "I don't know, what did you Aiqing see last night, were you happy?" ”

"Your Majesty, last night's auspiciousness lit up the sky, it is really a blessing for my Datang."

"Your Majesty, in the dark night, it is like day, this is not in line with the five elements, and Weichen feels that this is a bad omen"

Hearing these arguments, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing: "What bad omen, what auspicious rui, it's all nonsense, after the next dynasty, you will go to this artillery prison with me to take a look, and you will already understand."

When the ministers heard this, they all turned their eyes to the artillery supervisor to witness Li Jin. I saw that he was still taking advantage of his breath, not only did he not speak, but he also did not have this change in expression......

Trivia: Li Jin, born in the early years of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, is the ancestor of firecrackers. Since the invention of black powder, he was the first person to apply it to real life. Now in the main production area of firecrackers, it still enjoys the worship of the people. And the application of gunpowder in war is not achieved overnight, I think since Li Jin, the imperial court should have been developing, until the end of the Tang Dynasty, the application of gunpowder in war tends to mature.
