Chapter 278 Is this a problem?
Human beings have endless ambitions for nature. For example, Feitian, there are various rumors in China, which lead to various gods.
Flying is very difficult, at least in the absence of a driving force, human beings can at most pretend to be a bird and jump down from a high place with a pair of wings.
And explosion is a very scary thing for human beings.
Occasionally, there will be explosions in nature, and humans will be shocked when they hear it, thinking that this is something that humans cannot control.
Later, human beings were inspired by the explosion of plants in the fire, so they cut some bamboos and threw them into the fire during the Chinese New Year.
The crackling sound of bamboo can be imagined, that's what it is, but at this moment they are called firecrackers.
Li Zhi has been in the palace for many years, and he has also heard the sound of firecrackers, and thinks it is very interesting.
After becoming the emperor, he naturally lost his mind on such things.
When he saw Jia Pingan playing energetically, he was so angry!
Then there's an explosion...
"Boom!"
Li Zhi only felt his ears buzzing, and everything in front of him seemed to freeze.
The huge door was shaky, probably in disrepair for a long time, and collapsed suddenly.
Boom!
This sound can scare countless people on weekdays, but at this moment everyone thinks it is the sound of mosquitoes, which is insignificant.
Tang Xu opened his mouth, and his first reaction was to shout: "Protect Your Majesty!"
The surrounding Baiqi quickly reacted, and the security system developed by Jia Pingan was activated.
Several hundred riders opened the package in their hands, opened the folded shield, and protected Li Zhi's surroundings.
"Archer."
Jia Ping'an always felt that security without snipers was incomplete, and he might be killed from behind at any time, so he carefully selected a few archers to accompany him.
Archers set their bows and set arrows to scout all directions.
Koma was startled.
Li Zhi's mount was pampered in the palace on weekdays, but it was shocked by such a violent explosion today, and it was sluggish until now.
"Early Law!"
"Your Majesty!" Tang Xu was terrified, and just about to help, Li Zhi clamped the horse's belly, and stood up beautifully...
The horse's hoof landed on the ground, and after knocking away the hundred riders in front, it rushed out.
"Beast!" Li Zhi yelled and cursed, but the horse turned a deaf ear and galloped all the way.
"Your Majesty!"
Baiqi and Qianniuwei were dumbfounded.
"Catch up!"
But everyone's horses were a little disobedient, but Tang Xu's was better. After a long hiss, he began to run wildly. The happy riders were going to laugh at Qianniuwei.
"Captain, I went wrong, not over there!"
Tang Xu scolded: "I know, I can't hold back!"
He was carried by the horse and ran in the opposite direction of Li Zhi.
"Your Majesty!"
A group of people, some are packing up their horses, some are beating their horses and running wildly to catch up...
Chang'an City is a dirt road, once the wind blows, it will be the effect of a sandstorm, and it is almost the same at this moment.
"Running horses in the city of Chang'an! Be bold!"
Jinwuwei people appeared and wanted to intercept.
Several sergeants drew their swords and shouted, the old soldier in front trembled, "Ganniang! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
Several sergeants were puzzled, the old soldier kicked and flew, and his family dodged aside.
"This is His Majesty!"
Several sergeants were scared to death, and someone said dumbfounded: "Could it be that someone conspired against them?"
"Yes! If not, how could His Majesty gallop alone?"
"Quick! Go and protect His Majesty!"
I have to say that the Tang army at the moment is tough. In the later stage, there is no resistance at all during the palace change, and the change of throne is like playing around.
"Protect Your Majesty!"
Crazy, more and more people chasing.
Li Zhi managed to control the horse not long after rushing out of Chang'an City. He reined in the horse and turned around. Looking at the soldiers chasing after him shouting, a burst of anger secretly rose.
"Your Majesty!"
Jia Ping'an also came after him. Li Zhi glanced at A Bao under his crotch, his eyes dim.
He remembered that the horse he was riding today and A Bao should be brothers. At that time Xiao asked for a reward for Jia Pingan, and he rewarded A Bao, thinking that was the case.
But look at A Bao now, the way he shakes his head, there is no fear at all. But its brother was frightened and ran all the way.
The point is... a bit embarrassing!
He said with a straight face: "I want to go out of the city for a walk, why panic?"
Everyone was stunned.
"Isn't it a rebellion?" Jin Wuwei went back in despair.
Baiqi and Qianniuwei were embarrassed this time, and they didn't react at all.
"Jia Pingan!" Li Zhi looked at Jia Pingan, his eyes were full of exploration, and he was even more suspicious.
"Your Majesty." Jia Ping'an knew why Li Zhi was startled, but still praised: "Your Majesty's galloping horse galloped before, which attracted the applause of countless people!"
A Bao met his brother, shook his head and snorted. But its brother was a little downcast.
A group of people returned to Daodefang, and the scene was under the control of the Jinwu Guard. Bad people from Chang'an County and Wannian County also came, and they all wanted to make a fuss in front of the emperor.
Li Zhi got off his horse and walked over to the gate of the square, saying, "Let's all go away."
"Everyone went home."
Even Baiqi and Qianniuwei were mostly driven away later, Li Zhicai squatted down and looked at the small hole in the center of the explosion.
He touched the fallen square door and felt that the explosion should not have come from the human world.
"Is that Thunder?"
Li Zhi's first reaction was this, "Can you drive Thunder?"
Isn’t this about Li Banxian?
Jia Pingan said: "Your Majesty, thunder is hidden among the clouds. Once it is triggered, it must be from top to bottom. Please take a sniff, Your Majesty."
Li Zhi took a sniff, "What is this smell?"
"Gunpowder smoke." Jia Pingan misses this smell very much. Before setting off firecrackers was banned in later generations, every twelve o'clock in the middle of the night on New Year's Eve, the whole city became a sea of fireworks. After closing the windows, the smell of gunpowder smoke could still be squeezed out Come in.
gorgeous!
The people in front of him were dumbfounded, Li Zhi asked again: "What did it do?"
Jia Ping'an looked around, "No one else can listen to this matter."
Someone said: "Your Majesty, this is outside the palace!"
The implication of these words is security issues.
Li Zhi looked at Jia Pingan, nodded and said, "Everyone spread out."
When the people around him dispersed ten paces away, Jia Pingan said: "Your Majesty, this is a kind of thing made of several raw materials. I call it gunpowder. This kind of thing... Your Majesty also saw it before. If the power of this is used to attack the city..."
A picture appeared in front of Li Zhi's eyes. Amidst the cheers of the crowd, the roar suddenly erupted. Then the city wall collapsed, and countless soldiers of the Tang Dynasty swarmed up. Some shouted to break the city, some cheered for long live...
He looked at Jia Ping'an and asked, "But what knowledge?"
Jia Pingan nodded silently.
Li Zhi took a deep breath, "Maybe do it again?"
He looked at Jia Pingan with piercing eyes, "Is there any difficulty?"
No ah!
Jia Pingan said: "It's just that the hands hurt from grinding."
"Why does your hand hurt? Take me to have a look."
The emperor came to Daodefang. Jiang Rong knelt down and howled, shouting which **** came to Daodefang and sent down thunder.
Those soldiers were not much better, they were scared out of their wits by the huge explosion at close range, and they still looked pale at this moment.
"I have seen His Majesty."
Li Zhi did not give up this good opportunity to be close to the people, and nodded slightly, which made Jiang Rong so excited that he even forgot to breathe.
Arrived outside Jia's house, Du He knelt down when he saw Li Zhi.
He is a slave, that is, a creature that is juxtaposed with animals.
Li Zhi didn't take another look at him, and followed him into the study.
"Stay away!" Tang Xu stood outside the study, holding the handle of a knife in his hand, and even Qianniuwei's people drove away.
"Why?"
Tang Xu said: "This is the home of Baiqi joining the army. What do you want to hear?"
MMP!
Someone said dissatisfiedly: "Even if it is at the prime minister's house, our people can follow in."
Tang Xu felt that this person had no eyesight, so he said, "I want to die or I want to go to the palace and say so."
Li Zhi entered the study, and combined with the inexplicable explosion in front, Tang Xu felt that Xiao Jia had created something extraordinary. This kind of thing could alarm the emperor, so naturally it should be kept secret.
"Saltpeter." Jia Pingan made something and beat it on the table.
Bang bang bang!
Then grind.
But just for demonstration.
Then he mashed it straight up.
Now there is no need to keep it secret, he called his servants to work in turn.
Jia Pingan mixed the raw materials by himself, and finally made a big bag.
"Your Majesty, where can I test?" Jia Ping'an thought it would be best to test in Daodefang, where the land is sparsely populated, so he just chose an open space and bombed it.
"That's it?" Li Zhi found it inconceivable, "Saltpeter, sulfur, charcoal, can these three things explode together?"
Don't you want to deceive the king?
Jia Pingan sighed: "Your Majesty, the knowledge I learned comes from nature. Lightning and thunder are knowledge, and heavy rain is also knowledge...The same is true for explosions. There are many unsolved mysteries in this world, and using some seemingly When simple things are combined, they can become a sharp weapon for killing, minister...Your Majesty can take it back and test it by yourself."
"Also."
Li Zhi asked someone to bring this big bag of gunpowder back. Before leaving, he saw Jia Ping’an’s tangled face and asked, “Can you say anything?”
"Run after lighting it up and stay away from it." Jia Ping'an said seriously.
Li Zhi nodded and left.
The emperor is suspicious, that's right, but this is gunpowder!
Jia Pingan sent Li Zhi out of Daodefang, and finally said: "Your Majesty, you must stay away."
This person is really long-winded! Li Zhi nodded, and Jia Pingan went back.
Back home, Du He vaguely knew something, he felt that Mr. Lang's move was a little risky, "Mr. Lang, such artifacts should not be taken out, the emperor will be suspicious."
"So what about suspicion?" Jia Pingan is not afraid of this at all, "A gunpowder is scary, but in a certain brain...", he pointed to his own brain, and said confidently: "There is a lot of knowledge in this certain brain, and those knowledge can be used in the world. But going up to the nine heavens and going down to the ocean can make people understand what the world looks like, and it can also make the Tang Dynasty so strong that you can’t believe it, such knowledge, would the emperor abandon it?"
"Mr. Lang said earlier that the knowledge was great, and I was still a little suspicious. When I saw the explosion today, I felt that it wasn't the knowledge of the gods." Du He was already a little worshiped.
"It can also be said to be the knowledge of the gods." Jia Pingan thought of the accumulation of those knowledge, "It is all researched by generations of people, and it is not wrong to say that it is the knowledge of the gods."
Du He was puzzled and said: "Then why didn't Mr. Lang show it before?"
Jia Pingan smiled, "I was regarded as a **** since I was a child, and later I learned these knowledge from my husband. At that time, I was a young man who could not control his own life and death. Once this knowledge is revealed, it will be the root of disaster."
Du He said ashamedly: "Someone actually forgot about this matter... Yes, the gentleman now has a solid foundation, and those veterans are here, if there is no legitimate reason, no one dares to touch the gentleman."
"Relax." Jia Pingan knew that Du He was a little surprised and hesitant at this moment, and didn't know what the gunpowder would bring to Jia's family. "The gunpowder made at a certain moment is just to let His Majesty and those important officials know that certain knowledge...can't just be taught to you." A student of the Imperial College."
Du He bowed sincerely, "Don't worry, sir, I will take care of those people."
Jia Pingan smiled and nodded.
Soon Du He's voice came from outside, "You must not publicize what happened today, and you must not mention your husband, or you will be punished severely, including the whole family."
Jia Pingan hated this kind of joint punishment before, but after arriving in Datang, he can be said to be doing as the Romans do, and he adapted very quickly.
"Am I a cruel person?" Jia Pingan asked himself, then shook his head.
If it is cruel, he will throw the gunpowder bag beside the horse and ignite it, and use the life of a horse to prove the war attribute of gunpowder.
Then say another sentence: "Your Majesty, there should be a big explosion in the Tang Dynasty!"
"I'm always too soft-hearted."
People in this era will choose such methods without hesitation. If they encounter cruel ones, they even dare to get a few living people to test.
He was sitting in the yard smiling, thinking about Li Zhi's reaction after he found out that gunpowder was really that simple.
"Do you still want me to go to the Imperial College?" Jia Ping'an smiled like a fox.
He has never dared to throw out the knowledge of later generations, because he is worried that he will be overwhelmed by the powerful family.
This kind of knowledge will make the small circle jealous, and will make the aristocratic families feel threatened... The foundation they have passed down for many years is family learning! But family studies have no chance to fail before this knowledge, this is rooting.
Even if the powerful family didn't kill him, the emperor would confine him in a cold palace in the palace and let him tell those knowledge all day long.
Don't doubt, the emperor can do such a thing.
When they discovered that this knowledge is extraordinary and free from vulgarity and is of great benefit to the country and the people, Jia Ping'an was in danger.
At that time, it is impossible for the emperor to let him go out safely. It would be like a child holding coins in a busy market, and the risk is too high.
So he's been waiting.
Gradually, he made meritorious service and was awarded a knighthood...
His circle of friends keeps expanding, and the circle of friends he pays most attention to is the old men.
But it was not safe, so he made friends with Cui Shi, and later Pei Xingjian, and convinced him with some theories.
With the old coaches around and the protection of Cui Shi and Pei Shi, these are two strong supports.
After the elder sister enters the palace, this is a three-legged confrontation...
Jia Ping'an has always been insecure.
At the beginning, when he was in Yangjiawu, he also thought about dying like this, but those people were ignorant, and he was worried that something would happen sooner or later, for example, someone from his family died, or someone was unlucky, and they would take him Vent anger.
So he came to Chang'an City smoothly through Lao Xu.
Then came a series of operations in Chang'an, during which they were almost suppressed several times.
What now?
As soon as the new learning comes out, he is finally going to bubble up in Chang'an City.
Ha ha ha ha!
Jia Ping'an's brows filled with joy, "Du He!"
Du He was lecturing, when he heard the voice, he said: "Lang Jun ordered."
Jia Ping'an said: "Get some good food and wine, and the whole family will have them in the evening."
"Thank you, sir!" Xu Xiaoyu beamed with joy, "Mr., let's go shopping."
Cao Er straightened his stomach, "Why, do you think that certain knife is not good?"
Thinking of Cao Er's ruthlessness in chopping bones, Xu Xiaoyu smiled; "Where, so-and-so is going to help."
"Let's go." Jia Ping'an was in a great mood, just like when he finally bought his first house after being displaced for half his life, he was completely relaxed.
That kind of comfort!
…
Li Zhi returned to the palace, and the prime ministers came together to remonstrate.
"Your Majesty, galloping horses in the city of Chang'an... This was not done by the emperor." Changsun Wuji persuaded earnestly, "If someone assassinates...Your Majesty had no guards around at that time, it is dangerous!"
Even Li Ji said unprecedentedly: "Your Majesty, such things must never happen from now on. If you want to go out of the city, you have to bring people with you. If you can, I am willing to lead people to guard the imperial court."
Immortal!
Liu Xun glanced at Li Ji, thinking that if the emperor had an accident, his niece would be put to death.
A queen without a son, after the death of the emperor, becomes a lonely family, and will not worry about food and drink in the future, but that's all.
This problem needs to be solved!
Liu Shi secretly made up his mind.
Li Zhi listened to the remonstrance with one ear, but his left ear came in and his right ear came out, "I went to Daodefang today and saw Jia Pingan making things..."
Changsun Wuji got the news earlier, "But where did the explosion happen?"
Li Zhi nodded, "I want to try something new that Jia Pingan made."
"This thing is good for daily use. When it explodes outside the palace gate, all evil spirits will run away."
Everyone came out of the hall, Changsun Wuji had experienced many battles, Li Ji was even a famous general, the rest were almost meaningless, but it was only because of almost meaning that they were courageous.
"Your Majesty, where do you put it?" Tang Xu was honored to operate it himself.
Li Zhi said: "I think it's good to put it in front, and you can see it."
Tang Xu went over with a gunpowder bag.
"To the left." Changsun Wuji said shyly, "Don't put it too far, you won't be able to see clearly."
Turning his head, he said to Li Zhi: "Your Majesty liked to watch firecrackers back then, and the old minister made a few knots. At that time, he squatted on the side to watch. Now it has been more than ten years, hey!"
Li Zhi looked at the gunpowder bag, hesitating for a while, "Could it be closer?"
Is this something?
Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "The old minister has experienced the rain of swords and arrows, this little movement...no problem!"
Li Ji asked, "What did Jia Ping'an say?"
Tang Xu said: "Jia Ping'an said stay away."
Li Ji said: "Your Majesty, please stay away."
"My lord, where is your courage?"
Liu Shi sneered, and deliberately took a few steps forward.
Li Ji's eyes were warm, and he ignored him.
Jia Ping'an would fool people at other times, but it is impossible when it comes to safety issues.
Li Zhi wanted to watch, but Li Ji pulled him to stand behind Changsun Wuji.
Uncle Guo is obese, so big as a human shield.
"Light it up!" Liu Shi and the others in front couldn't wait any longer.
Tang Xu ignited the fuse according to Jia Pingan's instructions, then turned around and ran, and finally squatted behind the large water tank.
Due to the need for fire fighting, there are many large water tanks in the palace.
Liu Xun smiled and said: "What is this battle? The old man has been feeling listless for the past few days, and just wanted to hear something to cheer him up. If..."
"Boom!"
In the sound of the explosion, Liu Shi only felt a wave of air rushing towards him, and he flew out.
