Chapter 461: [Gunpowder Bureau]
……
"Your Majesty has arrived!" A shrill eunuch's voice rang out outside.
When Li Chengqian heard the voice of this male duck, he knew that it was the old eunuch next to Lao Li shouting.
The Qianniu guards on both sides of the courtyard gate lined up, and Lao Li's honor guard walked in, and then saw Lao Li wearing a yellow gorgeous dragon robe, wearing a pearl crown on his head, the crown was like a bridge, and there were more than a dozen strings of pearls hanging in front of his forehead, walking and swaying, very coquettish!
Damn, it won't be because as soon as the powder keg of Chengfu exploded, Lao Li made it so grand, right?
Li Chengqian knows that wearing this dress is particularly troublesome, usually no matter how coquettish Lao Li is, he won't be okay to wear this body?
Behind the coquettish old Li, it was Li Jing, Wei Chigong, Li Xiaogong, and Fang Xuanling, all wearing very formal official uniforms.
Li Chengqian and Cheng Lao walked quickly to the front and saluted Lao Li.
Lao Li hurriedly came over to help Cheng Lao Goods, Li Chengqian first hung aside, he helped Cheng Lao Goods, his eyes were affectionate, his feelings were sincere, and his voice trembled and asked: "I just met the Tubo envoy, and suddenly heard a thunder on the ground, and asked Qianniuwei, only to know that there was thunder in Cheng's mansion, so I left the Tubo envoy in the palace and came to visit Cheng Aiqing, I don't know if Cheng Aiqing and his family are okay?" ”
Cheng Lao Xiang was so grateful that he had tears in his eyes, wiped the sleeve of his left hand and the sleeve of his right hand, and replied in a choked voice: "Your Majesty, your ...... Minister...... I was so grateful that I ...... at this moment" He was so excited that he couldn't speak.
Lao Li hurriedly supported him. patted his back and said, "Don't be excited." Don't be excited......"
"Yes, yes...... Lao Chen's family is fine! The old minister is ashamed! Cheng Lao wiped away his tears. Raising his head, he said guiltily, "I didn't inform Your Majesty of the matter before, so Your Majesty is worried!" ”
Lao Li asked casually: "Cheng Aiqing, how did the thunder come out just now, can you tell Yu Zhen to listen!" ”
"Your Majesty, here's the thing. Today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to the Humble House, and His Royal Highness said that the sound was like thunder. Wei Ke cracked the stone, the minister rose on a whim, studied deeply with His Royal Highness, and finally came up with a kind of ......" He said this and glanced at Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian added: "Gunpowder. ”
"Yes, gunpowder. I'll try it out in this backyard when I get it out. The dragon guard asked me to hide in the hall, and he lit the fire outside, but I didn't expect it for a while. There was a bang, the ground moved, the houses collapsed, and I came out to take a look. That's already happening. Your Majesty and everybody, please come with me! Cheng Lao Xiang led Lao Li and Li Jing to the side of the powder keg pit and pointed to the powder keg pit to show them.
And the shattered stones, and the broken branches. Broken roofs, cracked walls. Shaken the pillar.
Lao Li and Li Jing saw such a scene, and they all opened their mouths in surprise. They couldn't believe that such a scene was artificial!
Li Jing is the god of war and the god of killing, seeing this scene, he sighed with emotion: "The stones are broken, what if it is a person?" What if it's a city? ”
Li Xiaogong continued: "People destroy the city and collapse, there is no disadvantage, and the battle is invincible!" ”
Fang Xuanling said solemnly: "Don't spread it!" ”
Lao Li's face was gloomy, and he ordered: "Don't let anyone get close to Cheng's mansion, let alone enter the backyard." ”
Su Dingfang's face was solemn, and he responded loudly: "Oh." ”
After the order went down, the soldiers in the backyard no longer piled up in a group, gathered around Lao Li, and they all scattered into the courtyard, some distance away from Lao Li and them.
Cheng Mu and Cheng Wenxiao knew that such a scene was not suitable for them, and they also retreated to the side with Qianniuwei.
Now there are Li Chengqian and other core figures of the Tang Dynasty left in the middle.
"Where is this thing, it is so powerful, take it out and show it to me!" Lao Li said excitedly.
With such a big killer, of course he was happy.
Li Chengqian took out a small cannon from his arms and said, "Father, this is it." ”
Under the curious gaze of Lao Li and others, Li Chengqian stretched out his hand, put one in his hand, and said, "Father, I'll try one for you." ”
Lao Li's eyes widened, try one, the big pit under his feet, this broken stone, is the destructive power created by this gadget, Li Chengqian actually said that he wanted to try this, and he didn't take his life in his eyes, and he didn't take the core elements of the five or six Tang Dynasty here in his eyes, if it exploded here, the Tubo people in the palace would laugh at it.
Lao Li was going to stop him.
But Li Chengqian had already lit a fire, and with a bang, he almost scared Lao Li and others into peeing.
Li Chengqian just felt a kind of impact pain in his hand, and then it disappeared.
It seems that there is nothing wrong with having a cannon in hand.
Lao Li saw that there was not so much movement, so he calmed down, and then suspected Li Chengqian.
"Is this really what you just made the thunderbolt?" Lao Li asked.
Li Chengqian explained the difference between the powder keg and the small cannon, so that Lao Li and the others believed it.
Then Lao Li and several ministers shared the firecrackers in Li Chengqian's hands, looked left and right, and then followed Li Chengqian, put the firecrackers in the palm of his hand, and let the firecrackers explode in the palm of his hand after igniting them.
A series of firecrackers rang out in Cheng's mansion.
Several old men were addicted to playing, and after finishing the cannon in their hands, they even reached out to Li Chengqian to ask for it.
Li Chengqian shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's gone." ”
They withdrew their hands a little stupidly.
After experimenting with the appearance of firecrackers, they also have an intuitive understanding of gunpowder, as well as an objective understanding of the pit on the ground.
They gathered around to discuss the use of gunpowder, and soon came to an agreement.
Lao Li turned his head and said to Cheng Laohuo: "Only a courtier like Cheng Aiqing, who is dedicated to the country, will come up with such a killing weapon, okay, the reward will be drawn up after I return to the palace, and then the official decree will be issued." Now with the invention of this gunpowder, we can apply this gunpowder research to the battlefield, so I have now decided to set up a gunpowder bureau, since Cheng Aiqing is one of the inventors of this gunpowder, then this gunpowder bureau will be managed by you, I believe you will better use gunpowder on the enemy! ”
"Minister, thank you for Your Majesty's Longen!" Cheng Lao Cargo straightened up, bowed his hand, and saluted Lao Li.
Lao Li looked at Fang Xuanling for a moment, and then added: "The construction of this gunpowder bureau, where to choose, and how to send troops to guard it, will be discussed by Li Aiqing, the king of Hejian County and Cheng Aiqing. Remember, gunpowder must not be left exposed! ”
With more Li Jing and Li Xiaogong, it is equivalent to two more overseers, but when Cheng Lao Xiang heard this, he was happy, and hurriedly took orders from Lao Li with Er Li.
