Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1358 Chang'an New Year
Chang'an City.

On New Year's Eve, Chang'an is snowing.

Officials do not have to go to court on this day, all officials rest and can rest.

But in the evening, she was going to the palace to attend a palace banquet.

Because the previous palace banquets were too boring, this year Li Shimin wanted to have fun with all the officials. All the fifth-rank officials and above in the court can bring their families to the palace to participate in the palace banquet.

At night, the palace can be said to be very lively.

And just as Li Shimin was having a drink with all the officials, a palace official hurried over.

"My lord, there is an urgent message from Jinling City."

Hearing that it was an urgent report from Jinling City, the whole banquet fell silent.

Everyone knows that Huainan King has rebelled, and the situation in Jinling City is probably not good.

Now there is an urgent report from Jinling City, but I don't know what it is.

Everyone looked at the palace man, who was holding an urgent report in his hand and a box in his arms.

Li Shimin took a look at the urgent report, and there was not much written in the urgent report, so he talked about the situation in Jinling City. Huainan King rebelled, and Qin Tian used the newly developed gunpowder to resist the rebels for a few days until the arrival of reinforcements.

The secret recipe of gunpowder, as well as the samples of making, are all in the box.

Of course, it was also written in the urgent report, be careful when opening it, don't see fire easily, and asked Li Shimin to give the firearm a name.

After reading this, Li Shimin smiled: "Haha, King Huainan rebelled, Qin Tian has defended Jinling City, and has already joined the reinforcements, and he will put down the rebellion soon, and Qin Tian has also developed a new gadget. Let's take a look."

Li Shimin didn't pay too much attention to the gunpowder Qin Tian mentioned, thinking that it was just a toy.

And Li Shimin said casually, and all the officials felt that the gunpowder was very ordinary, and they didn't particularly care about it.

Only Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao and the others knew Qin Tian best, and knew that the things Qin Tian made were normal?

And this thing can stop the rebels for so long, it must be very powerful.

You know, Qin Tian only has a few thousand soldiers and horses, but the rebels have fifty or sixty thousand.

What is this concept?
If it was someone else, Jinling City would have been breached long ago. It must be extraordinary that this thing can help Qin Tian defend Jinling City.

Therefore, when other people acted very casually, they clenched their fists and kept staring at the box, for fear of missing something.

After the box was opened by the palace servants, there was a sample of a firearm made by Qin Tian, ​​and a wax-sealed letter inside, which contained the formula for gunpowder.

Li Shimin took the formula, and then went to look at the firearm.

The firearms were made of very ordinary porcelain pots. This was mainly because Jinling City was fighting at that time. It was convenient to make this thing, and it could be made with other things in the future. It depends on Li Shimin's intention.

However, when Li Shimin looked at this thing, he curled his lips.

At this time, Gao Shilian suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, what is this thing? Are we kidding Qin Tian?"

When Gao Shilian opened his mouth like this, the others also followed suit.

"Yeah, isn't this just an ordinary porcelain jar, what's the matter?"

"Just this thing, it can withstand the tens of thousands of troops of King Huainan, Qin Tian is joking, right?"

"Hehe, it's really interesting to send it all the way to Chang'an City just like that."

"Who says no, ridiculous, ridiculous..."

Everyone said this, Cheng Yaojin suddenly said: "Master Gao, since you think this thing is not very good, why don't you order it?"

There is a lead wire on the porcelain pot, and a discerning person can tell what it is for at a glance.

After Cheng Yaojin said this, Yu Chigong also laughed quickly: "Exactly, why don't you let Mr. Gao try it and see how this thing Qin Tian made."

After Yu Chigong finished speaking, Qin Shubao, Li Ji and others also echoed, Gao Shilian's cheeks were flushed and he was burning with anger.

Although he said that he didn't like Qin Tian's gadget, he was not stupid. This thing could stop tens of thousands of rebels, so there must be something extraordinary about it.

He was a little embarrassed, he wanted to belittle this thing, but he didn't want to be the one who ate crabs.

Here, Li Shimin suddenly had some evil tastes. Anyway, Qin Tian made this thing. Since Gao Shilian belittled him, let him try it.

"Gao Aiqing, come and order."

Gao Shilian showed embarrassment and a wry smile.

But when Li Shimin opened his mouth, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree. Then he found a fire pocket and walked over. The porcelain pot was placed in the middle of the palace banquet. Several people wanted to see what happened, so they moved a little closer. However, Cheng Yaojin and the others gave each other a wink, and then took a few steps back.

After all, this thing can stop the rebels, and its power is probably not small.

Li Shimin didn't take this thing seriously at first, but when he saw Cheng Yaojin and others backing away, he subconsciously took a few steps back.

Gao Shilian's hands suddenly trembled, and he was terrified.

Fear of the unknown is even greater.

But now everyone is looking at him. If he is cowardly, he will be laughed at to death.

Gritting his teeth for the last time, he opened the torch and lit the fuse. After lighting it, he quickly backed away, but after running a few steps like this, the firearm suddenly exploded with a bang.

The firearm exploded and affected a large area. Gao Shilian and the few people who were watching the fun all felt a wave of air. Immediately afterwards, they were blown away. A few holes were blasted, and a trace of blood could be seen faintly.

Everyone's eardrums hurt, but they didn't take this into consideration at all now, they were a little confused, and they were dumbfounded.

They couldn't believe their eyes just now, how could such a small thing explode suddenly and produce such a great power?

If you have a lot of these things, wouldn't it be possible to directly blow up the entire palace.

Shock, shock, everyone was shocked besides shock.

Li Shimin's eyes were slightly fixed, and now he suddenly grasped the secret recipe of gunpowder in his hand, because at that moment, he suddenly thought of a lot.

This thing is so powerful that it can destroy the entire palace.

This thing can make you more domineering in battle, and you are not afraid of any enemy.

This thing can make him an emperor through the ages.

All kinds of thoughts kept flashing, and no matter what the idea was, Li Shimin felt that the secret recipe of gunpowder in his hand was very important, and whoever got this thing would have great strength.

He had to hold this thing tightly in his hands.

The palace was still filled with the smell of gunpowder, and it was not until a long time later that Cheng Yaojin suddenly laughed: "Good thing, really good thing, congratulations, my lord, congratulations, my lord..."
