Shen Yu couldn't cry or laugh: "Your Highness, the minister is really not angry, His Highness does what the minister says, and there is no harm in doing it." ”

King Qi saw that he was very serious, not like angry words, although he was not as smart as these masters, but he knew very well who was trustworthy, so he ordered the eunuch to ask the prince to report the matter immediately.

……

In the small study hall, the two washed their faces and hands and changed into clean clothes.

Rong He bit the pen and was in a daze: "Huai'an, I'm thinking about a question." ”

"What?"

"Why is such a pack of gunpowder so powerful?" He asked.

Huai'an spread his hands, he was also the first time to see the explosion of gunpowder, inexperienced.

Rong He said again: "And the dude just took it into the side hall, and there was no spark at all, and it exploded as soon as he turned around and left." ”

Huai'an also thought about this problem and suspected that it was static electricity. The dude is wearing silk clothes today, and the weather is dry in spring, and static sparks can cause explosions when they come into contact with gunpowder.

This is a very unfortunate event, and fortunately there were no major casualties.

Rong He thought about it and felt that it was wrong, so he immediately ordered Zhao Tang: "Go to the warehouse and come back with a small bag." ”

Huai'an's pupils shook: "Take it again?!" ”

"Just a small packet, a small pack." He waved his hand to send Zhao Tang away: "Go, go, go." ”

Zhao Tang was frightened, and really only took a small packet, which is about the amount of five or six cannons......

"Look at you." Rong He rolled his eyes and unwrapped the cloth bag.

The two of them suddenly felt that something was wrong, and Rong He asked, "This gunpowder is damp, right?" How do you get it one by one? ”

Zhao Tang said: "The eunuch guarding the treasury said that the fire in the house has not been used for many years, and the gunpowder is crumbling, and it is now broken for me." ”

Huai'an instantly remembered a term - wheat gunpowder.

It was also mentioned in the same magazine, if he remembers correctly, that it was in medieval Europe that people found that the long-term hoarding of gunpowder was damp and compacted, so they broke it into particles and loaded it into the chamber of a gun, and accidentally found that it was three times more powerful than ordinary powder gunpowder.

This is quite an important discovery! Although the hardened gunpowder cannot be used to make fireworks, it can definitely be used for munitions.

"Why didn't you think of it before!" Huai'an muttered.

"What?" Rong He didn't hear clearly.

Huai'an was about to explain when he heard the sound of small footsteps outside the door. The keen hearing that he had cultivated over the years told him that there was his father in the footsteps.

So he quickly wrapped the gunpowder and put it in his sleeve, ready to show it to his cousin. Doing research to make such a big deal hit him, he was physically and mentally exhausted, and he was exhausted...... Therefore, professional things should be left to professional people.

If I had turned to a professional earlier, I wouldn't have had it!

Shen Yu entered the door, and saw that they had not started their pen yet, sitting behind the table with a cold face, and the air pressure in the study hall instantly dropped to a negative value.

The person who knows the current affairs is Junjie, and the two of them hurriedly put pen to paper to write a review, and they are all the same literary thoughts, and the pen is like a stream.

Only then did Shen Yu understand that there is a kind of talented talent who is born to cause trouble.

It didn't take long for two nonsense "letters of repentance" to be placed on his desk, and Shen Yu read them at a glance and ten lines, and returned them with a black face: "Take it back and rewrite it, and hand it in tomorrow." ”

Huai'an complained bitterly, he would rather be beaten than write a review over and over again.

God had always been kind to him, as if he had heard his wish—and he was beaten as he wished.

This time the disaster was too big, it was just a child's play with his life, and it was useless for Huai'an to beg for tricks and behave, so he was carried to the study in the front yard when he got home.

"Seal the second door, and no one is allowed to report to the wife and the old lady." Shen Yu instructed Li Huan.

Huai'an was taken aback by this battle, and stumbled and said, "Dad, I just made a mistake that a child would make." ”

Shen Yu sneered at him and found a stick: "I'm just doing something that my own father can do." ”

Huai'an knew that he was at a loss, so he didn't move, he was beaten twice, and his tears of pain were shaking.

Seeing him like this, Shen Yu couldn't do it anymore, and even began to worry that his son was shocked and his brain was broken, although the good doctor of the palace said that they were not injured, what if it was an internal injury?

He asked, "Why didn't you run away today?" ”

Huai'an was stunned: "Just ...... That means you can run, right? ”

Before Shen Yu could react, Huai'an had already extracted the key point, and without hesitation in half a second, he fled the door.

The second door was sealed, he couldn't hide from his grandmother, so he had to circle around the shadow wall, he remembered that he had to run around the tree when he was chased by a bear in the wild, it was the same principle.

Chapter 94

There was an opportunity to beat his son in front of Shen Yu, but he didn't cherish it, and he regretted it when he lost it, if God gave him such a chance again, he would definitely not hesitate to break his leg!

Huaiming, Huaiyuan, and Chen Yong came back from the school and were just in time to witness a chase drama.

Huai Ming didn't know whether to worry about his father or his younger brother, so he asked Li Huan for the reason.

Li Huan made the matter of King Qi's mansion 1510 clear.

The three of them were stunned, bombing the palace? This kid has grown a lot of guts.

So they saw Huai'an being caught, beaten, and his ass blooming, but they didn't dare to step forward to dissuade him.

The second door opened, and the old lady heard that her little grandson had been beaten, so she called her son over for interrogation.

There was a lot of noise, and the three eldest children were buzzing in their heads, and they couldn't calm down when they were reading, so they simply ran to Huai'an's room to watch his jokes.

Huai'an had tears on his face, hugging himself and shrinking in the corner, like a miserable and sad little cabbage.

Huaiyuan sat on the edge of the bed and persuaded: "Don't cry, cheer up, they are all boys who have never been beaten!" ”

"Brother Huaiyuan was also beaten?" Wyan looked up, seeking comfort.

"Well, not really." Huaiyuandao.

Huai'an: ......

I want to cry even more.

Huaiming also joked: "At least your worth has risen again now, if your father and mother can't help but sell you one day, they will also weigh the price." ”

Huai'an: ???

Is he a dog, and needs to increase his value by demolishing his family?

Chen Yong said very seriously: "But then again, I thought it was the explosion caused by your improper proportioning, and I asked Li Huan to know that you haven't started yet, and it's over." ”

Huaiming and Huaiyuan were speechless: "This is too tragic!" ”

"If you die before you get out of the school, it will make the hero cry."

Huai'an was about to go crazy, and his waist was angry: "Are you here to comfort me or to watch my jokes?" ”

The three brothers said in unison: "Of course it's your joke." ”

Huai'an raised his head to the sky and roared, then buried his head in the quilt and loaded the ostrich.

Chen Yong was still kind, he patted the bulge in the quilt: "If you want to make fireworks, you can't do them in the palace." ”

Huai'an let out an ear from the quilt.

Chen Yong said: "In a few days, the school will be off, and I will take you to the Ordnance Bureau." ”

Huai'an's eyes lit up: "Ordnance Bureau, can you enter casually?" ”

Chen Yong said with a little smugness: "Of course you can't, but I can, because Ambassador Feng of the Ordnance Bureau is my master." ”

This matter also started before Chen Chong was dismissed, he often took Chen Yong in and out of the various courtyards of the Ordnance Bureau, and Chen Yong also showed strong interest and amazing talent.

Ambassador Feng, who had been addicted to armaments all his life, took a fancy to him at a glance and hoped to take him as an apprentice. Chen Chong was still hesitating, in the eyes of today's scholars, the equipment belongs to strange skills and tricks, and he hopes that Chen Yong will focus on his career, gain fame and glory to his ancestors, and should not put too much thought on these things.

It's just that Chen Yong's family was in mourning at that time, and he couldn't be interested in anything except ordnance, so he couldn't brush off the good intentions of his subordinates, and he couldn't bear to disappoint Chen Yong, so he had to agree. As a result, Chen Yong was granted free access to the Ordnance Bureau.

As if he suddenly remembered something, Huai'an took out a small cloth bag from his sleeve and poured a small handful of black particles on the table.

"Brother Xiaomeng, I have a shocking discovery!" Huai'an said excitedly: "These damp and hardened gunpowder, if they are crushed and placed in the chamber, will have great power. ”

Chen Yong picked it up and smelled it, and sure enough, it was the smell of saltpeter. He was skeptical and decided to take it to the Ordnance Bureau for testing in a few days. Arms tests are often accompanied by dangers, but they should be avoided as much as possible, such as preventing static electricity, such as using extended fire ropes.

Yun Ling came in again and called Huai'an out for dinner, and Huai'an got into the quilt again.

After a moment, Xu Tinglan's voice was filled with anger: "Shen Huai'an, come out quickly, I'll count to three...... One! ”

Huai'an was excited, put on his shoes and got out of bed, went to the hall for dinner, and his procrastination was his last dignity.

The next day, Shen Yu spent a whole day, breaking it open and crumpling it to reason with them, and asked them to engrave the truth of "the body is skinned, and the parents are received" in their minds.

In the middle of the month, Huai'an and Rong He followed Chen Yong to the Ordnance Bureau, like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, which is also rare and novel.

Moreover, Huai'an found that the craftsmen here all wore thin jackets made of old cotton cloth, and even officials did not dare to wear silk, and they wore pure cotton clothes all over to prevent static electricity. The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated.

Huai'an and Ronghe were asked to change into cloth clothes and shoes from the time they entered the second courtyard, looking at each other's appearance, they were really happy with each other's horses, and they suddenly changed into coarse cloth short clothes and round cloth shoes, how funny they looked.

The scribe of the Ordnance Bureau treated Chen Yong very politely, firstly because he was a senior apprentice of Ambassador Feng, and secondly, to see the face of his old boss Chen Chong.

"Don't laugh, listen to me." Chen Yong agreed with them in three chapters in advance: "This is a place of heavy armament, not a place for playing. Once inside, you can't make noise, you can't touch anything, and if you don't obey, I won't bring you here again, and don't even think about fireworks. ”

The two promised again and again that they would never talk nonsense.

……

In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Yongli slowly opened his eyes after practicing the evening class.

"What time is it?" The emperor asked.

"Back to the master, it's time." Feng Chun replied.

"Has anyone been here in the afternoon?"

"Zheng Ge has been here, saying that the Ministry of Industry has a book that needs to be asked by His Majesty to draft a ticket." As he spoke, Feng Chun presented a copy of the sword.

Emperor Yongli opened it and looked at it, his expression changed: "Do you know what you are talking about?" ”

"The slave doesn't know."

The emperor sneered: "My good grandson, I blew up the Qi Palace." ”
