Chapter 291: Set a firework for His Majesty
Although the Tianlei thing was released in the second year of Taikang and has been around for eight or nine years, it has been hidden very well by Li Xin. Until now, people, or the court, still do not know what it looks like.
This thing was regarded as a taboo in the late Taikang Dynasty. No one dared to mention it in front of the emperor, so naturally no one would mention it in front of Li Xin.
From the end of the eighth year of Taikang, the sky thunder was officially exposed to the court's sight. In almost two years, no one in the capital has mentioned this sky thunder directly to Li Xin.
The little emperor was the first to bring up this matter.
And if you ask this half-joking tone in front of Li Xin, there will be no problem. After all, Li Xin is his elder, and no matter how he cannot turn against the child.
This way, it is also easy to test what my teacher is thinking.
After hearing Li Xin's reply, Emperor Yuan Zhao was in high spirits. He immediately spoke: "I just heard about this thing earlier and I have never seen it before. Can the teacher give me two to play with me?"
No matter how confidential the sky thunder is, it is something in the world. As long as there are physical references and so many skilled craftsmen in the Ministry of Works, they can naturally be researched slowly.
Marquis Jing'an bowed his head deeply and said, "There are three in my house. I can send two to the palace tomorrow to offer it to Your Majesty. As for the remaining one, it can be used to give it to Your Majesty."
Emperor Yuan Zhao was overjoyed and pulled Li Xin's sleeve and said, "It just so happened that I had nothing to do today. Why would the teacher show me today?"
It was already afternoon and evening. Li Xin looked up at the sky, then nodded with a smile: "Then your Majesty wait here, I will come back to my house to get the sky thunder."
"good."
The emperor said, "I am in the schoolyard in the palace and wait for the teacher to come."
Li Xin bowed respectfully, turned around and withdrew from Weiyang Palace, left the palace from Yong'anmen Gate, and returned to the Jing'an Marquis Mansion.
There are indeed thunders in the backyard of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, and there are more than two or three, and there are as many as forty or fifty.
These are the things Li Xin brought from Jincheng, one for self-defense on the road, and the other for... to prevent the court from rushing to jump over the wall.
If the court wants to be unfavorable to Li Xin or forcibly detain Li Xin, these things can be unexpected. With the cooperation of the personnel in the dark, they may have a chance to escape from the capital.
More than fifty pots were neatly placed in Li Xin's study. In addition to him, there was Shen Gang who had followed him for many years in the study.
Marquis Jing'an frowned and thought for a while, then walked out of the study room. Not long after, he moved back to a wine jar that was much bigger than the head and placed it in the study room.
He opened the wine jar and then reached out to greet Shen Gang.
"Come on, help me."
Shen Gang scratched his head and squatted beside Li Xin.
"What do the marquis want his subordinates to do?"
"Tear these thunders and pour the medicine inside into this wine jar."
Although Shen Gang didn't understand why, his biggest advantage was his obedience. He immediately started to take action when he heard this. With the two of them working together, soon at least twenty or thirty of gunpowder in fifty thunders were poured into the wine jar.
Tianlei is only a little bigger than adult fists, and because the inside is sealed with fish glue and maintains sealing, there is not much gunpowder. More than twenty Tianlei can barely fill the jar of wine.
Li Xin found another piece of gauze paper, rolled it into a lead wire, sealed the opening with fish glue, got up and looked at the wine jar, and clapped his hands with satisfaction.
"This thing should be able to scare that kid."
The gunpowder at present is not powerful enough. Simple heavenly thunder can only hurt people but not kill people. However, the gunpowder of dozens of heavenly thunders is stuffed into a jar, no matter how scary it is.
After all, the equivalent is here.
Thinking of this, Li Xin reached out to greet Chen Gang again. The two of them ran to the kitchen, moved back to two smaller wine jars, divided the remaining Tianlei medicine powder into two portions, and poured them into the two wine jars.
It is obviously dissatisfied with not enough. Li Xin said to Chen Gang: "Go and find some wood ash, flour, dry loess, and kudzu powder."
Chen Gang went down immediately without hesitation and prepared to go.
The first wine jar is naturally used to explode. It is necessary to create a more shocking scene. The remaining two are dedicated to the emperor, so it is impossible to really give them to him. There are no shortage of capable people in this world. Just a few imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital can find out the medicinal ingredients by smelling it. It is inevitable that craftsmen will not figure out the formula.
But as long as these things are added and mixed in, it will be difficult for the Daluo God to perfectly restore the gunpowder from this pile of mixed things.
After preparing for an hour in the Marquis' Mansion, Li Xin took the three wine jars in a carriage and entered the palace from Yong'anmen Square, all the way to the palace schoolyard.
At this time, the emperor had already arranged two wooden men and two scarecrows in the center of the school grounds.
Li Xin and Chen Gang moved the big wine jar from the carriage, moved it together to the center of the schoolyard, and placed it in the middle of the four dummies.
Then Li Xin asked Chen Gang to wait here with a torch. He turned around and walked to the emperor a hundred steps away, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, the thunder that the southwest gave me has been set up. With your order, I will let my generals burn it."
Although the emperor is already the king of a country, he is still a young man after all. When he sees such a novel thing, he will inevitably feel curious. He rubbed his hands with excitement and said, "Teacher, can I light this thing myself?"
"No."
Li Xin shook his head decisively: "Your Majesty, this thing has been seen in the southwest, which is quite dangerous. Your Majesty is the Supreme Master of Nine Five, how can he take risks with himself?"
Only then did Emperor Yuan Zhao wave his hand in vain.
"The teacher asked someone to click it."
Li Xin nodded and reached out to Chen Gang in the distance and made a gesture.
Chen Gang understood and lit the leads of the wine jar with the torch in his hand. Then the strong man ran away quickly and ran twenty or thirty steps in just a short while.
There was a loud bang!
The wine jar behind him exploded!
The current thunder is a relatively powerful ratio that Lin Hu has been constantly experimenting in Yongzhou. In addition, the equivalent in this wine jar is very huge. Once ignited, the instant light illuminates the entire schoolyard and illuminates the stunned emperor.
After the loud noise, the emperor stared blankly at the center of the school grounds.
The two grass men were gone, and the two wooden men were devastated.
Emperor Yuan Zhao's voice was a little stuttering.
He turned his head to look at Li Xin and said in a trembling voice: "Teacher... is this the thunder?"
Marquis Jing'an nodded calmly.
