Chapter 107: The Mystery of Gunpowder
"Prince!" Li Xuan and Zhao Gong exclaimed at the same time, looking at each other and looking at each other.
Zhao Gong stood up directly, pacing back and forth anxiously, and at the same time said with a gloomy face: "The previous series of conspiracies of the Tianyin Sect all revolved around the cause of the prince's death, but after we foiled their series of conspiracies, why did they still stare at the prince and the cause of the prince's death, what is this for?"
Li Xuan's expression calmed down surprisingly, leaned back slightly, and said softly: "Around the prince's coffin, there are top masters from the internal guard guarding at all times, and no one is usually allowed to open the coffin...... Even if there is a day when it is opened, it must be His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven in person, in that case, the people of the Tianyin Sect will have no chance!"
Zhao Gong shook his head and said with great certainty: "They must have a way, not necessarily the prince's coffin, maybe something else."
"Doesn't it have to be the prince's coffin?" Li Xuan's face finally became solemn, and he looked up at Zhao Gong: "Uncle, if it is the day of the prince's funeral, if someone detonates gunpowder as powerful today as the Tianjin Bridge on the road, what will be the consequences?"
"Gunpowder, medicine puppet?" Zhao Gong's face was a little suspicious, but he finally shook his head: "It's not very likely, no matter how powerful the gunpowder is, it is only like a big firecracker at most, unless it is an explosive furnace like alchemy, it is only scary at most; The people who carried the coffin for the crown prince were all selected from among the children of the family, as few as twenty-four, and as many as hundreds, and even if one or two people were frightened, it had nothing to do with the overall situation, let alone a hearse."
"I'm a royal funeral!" Li Xuan arched his hand to the place of the palace, and then said: "On the day of the funeral, the coffin will be carried out of the palace by Bang Lang, and before the end gate, it will be carried to the hearse, and then sent to Lingshan by the hearse, and finally carried by Bang Lang to the mausoleum for burial, but if someone does something on Bang Lang, and then takes the opportunity to approach the prince's coffin, and then uses gunpowder to start in a special place where it is not easy to focus, it is possible to succeed."
Li Xuan looked at Zhao Gong, and his expression showed endless condensation.
Datang's gunpowder has just started, and no one knows how powerful gunpowder can be.
The gunpowder explosion that occurred at Tianjin Bridge today has long surpassed people's impression of firecrackers.
If someone develops a successful gunpowder, even if it is only an approximation, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Could it be that we are thinking too much, how can the people of the Tianyin Sect have the ability to do things to the crown prince?" Although Zhao Gong's face was a little ugly, he still said negatively: "The prince's death was sudden, even we didn't react, let alone the Tianyin Sect. On the second day of the prince's death, the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple, and Zongzheng Temple have all been selected, so how can there be a chance for the Tianyin Sect to intervene."
After a pause, Zhao Gong continued: "There is also the matter of the prince's mausoleum, but now it has just begun to be built, if the prince's mausoleum wants to be completed, it will take a long time, and the prince's burial will be a few months later, even if the Tianyin Sect has to do something...... There's plenty of time."
In the end, Zhao Gong's face changed slightly, and he finally found that what the Tianyin Sect wanted to do was really a time and opportunity. ….
"No, it's the opposite." Li Xuan suddenly became serious, looked at Zhao Gong and said, "A long time means that there are many dreams at night, uncle, people like you and my uncle and nephew can see the problem in this, not to mention that the Queen of Heaven and the saints are bright and bright, what can be hidden from their eyes, so if the Blade of the Tianyin Sect really has such a plan, it must be a plan to hide from the sky and the sea, and they have other purposes."
"This ...... It's not impossible, but the former can't be ignored." Zhao Gong walked to the door, looked at the sunlight outside, and said with a serious gaze: "After I go back, I must report to the Queen of Heaven, Jingshan, and the Imperial Palace, Li Yan and Yan Zhuang must be strictly investigated."
Li Xuan stood up, waved his hand, and said, "The matter of Li Yan and Yan Zhuang, Uncle just mentioned it, I'm afraid the internal guards have already started to investigate, after all, they are the prince's neighbors, so they can't arrest them all without evidence at this time."
The Thousand-Faced Buddha is one of the four elders of the Tianyin Sect, even if he has Li Yan's cover, but at this time, he is so bold to enter the Tai Womb, doesn't he know the risks?
No, he knows, except
In addition to his absolute confidence in himself, there are also people covering for him.
The Buddha with a Thousand Faces is just a chess piece placed in the foreground, and after his action began, it has already fallen into the eyes of those who have a heart.
"The key is gunpowder, and my nephew always feels that this matter is not so easy to end." Li Xuan's eyes flashed with a hint of worry, but immediately after him he said, "Among the government and the opposition, there is no one who has studied gunpowder more deeply than the general prison, and Uncle might as well go to the general prison to have a look......
"Will be a prisoner, you say will be a prisoner?" Zhao Gong's face immediately changed, and he said with a very embarrassed expression: "In the early years, Yan Lide and Yan Liben were both going to be great craftsmen, and Yan Zhuang was in the same vein, if something happened to him?"
Zhao Gong didn't think about gunpowder, but thought of other places.
In Li Xuan's opinion, the extremely powerful gunpowder did not pose much of a threat in Zhao Gong's opinion, but it was the other extremely powerful bow and crossbow weapons that Yan Zhuang might have mastered were the most terrifying, and there were even some things that could be spread out, which would greatly shake the rule of the Tang Dynasty.
"I have to enter the palace now!" Zhao Gong was a little anxious, and turned around to leave the Jade Dragon Garden.
"Uncle!" Li Xuan suddenly appeared behind Zhao Gong, reached out and pressed his shoulder, pressing him in place, and said with a wry smile: "Uncle, this matter can't be rushed, it must be considered in the long run, Yan Zhuang is in the Tai Palace now, if you act rashly, no one knows what the consequences will be."
After speaking, Li Xuan let go of Zhao Gong, and then looked at him like this.
Taigong, these three words still touched Zhao Gong, he slowly turned around, looked at Li Xuan, suddenly frowned, and said with a puzzled face: "Da Lang, I always think you have other plans?"
"Uncle has found out!" Li Xuan was very calm, crossed her hands, bowed deeply, and said, "Don't hide it from my uncle, my nephew is preparing for going to Wuzhou."
After a slight pause, Li Xuan said with a solemn face: "Although the court knows a lot about the Tianyin Sect, there are not many who are really involved in the core, except for the four elders and the East Sea King, the Holy Maiden, and the Empress Yuan, there is very little understanding of the hall masters who are the real backbone of the Tianyin Sect. So we need to catch a live mouth." ….
The Thousand-Faced Buddha is the living mouth that Li Xuan likes, the Thousand-Faced Buddha can be anyone, and anyone can also be the Thousand-Faced Buddha.
"You're right." Zhao Gong took a deep breath, and then retreated to the study.
Sitting back on the Hu chair, Li Xuan said seriously: "Whether it is Yan Zhuang or Li Yan, they are all in the palace now, Li Yan's abnormality today, not only my nephew has seen it, but many other people have also seen it, and Uncle feels that the queen of heaven does not know how big it may be at this time."
"The Queen of Heaven must have known that she is already special to the Imperial Palace, and anyone who behaves out of the ordinary will inevitably escape her eyes." Zhao Gong let out a long breath, and then said, "Since the Queen of Heaven knows, Ming Chongyan and Qiu Shenqi will not let it go either, and they are also waiting, waiting to eradicate the last power of the Tianyin Sect in one fell swoop, and even directly waiting for the King of the East Sea."
"Yes, King of the East Sea." Li Xuan also sighed with emotion and said, "No one knows who the King of the East China Sea is, nor does he know where he is hiding, but he has been secretly manipulating the situation in the entire Luoyang, and he must be found out."
"Forget it, according to what you said, I only mentioned the gunpowder matters, and the affairs of Yan Zhuang and Li Yan are mentioned in one stroke." After Zhao Gong finished speaking, he turned to look at Li Xuan, and said with a smile: "However, Da Lang, there is one thing you need to understand, it is not that you can get His Majesty's favor and be promoted by your achievements in Wuzhou, you must know that you are different from ordinary officials, you are a clan, and the clan has its own way of promotion."
Li Xuan couldn't help but be stunned, and then nodded consciously, it is true.
Being in the game, under the obstacle of knowledge, it is difficult for Li Xuan to see the whole picture.
The royal clan, even if you have made political achievements, even if you are excellent in the assessment of the officials, if the emperor does not agree, you can only continue to nest.
"So, it's best to find an in-law who can help you get promoted!" Zhao Gong immediately brought the topic back to Li Xuan's familiar taste.
But this time, Li Xuan couldn't say anything to refute.
Because he knew that what his cousin Zhao Gong said was true, if he hadn't had other calculations, I'm afraid it would be true
It can only be so.
Suddenly, a sound of footsteps came from the front yard, followed by Li Mo with a serious face holding a secret letter and quickly walked towards Li Xuan.
