Ji Tang

Chapter 453 Gunpowder?

"Next!"

This is the No.15 person.

This time it was the burly young man who came on stage. When Ji Song saw it was him, he smiled and nodded, indicating that he could start.

"Who is this person?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

Li Gang smiled and said: "This person is Xue Li. I didn't expect him to come to power. Your Majesty, just wait and see!"

Li Shimin nodded, and he remembered that this young man should be the young man who amazed Ji Song. But as far as he knew, although this young man was good at martial arts, he could only be said to be okay in terms of knowledge. He did not expect that he would come to power.

"Are you ready?"

Ji Song asked with a smile. Regarding Xue Li, he felt like he was witnessing history!

Over the years since I came to Datang, I have changed the fate of many people.

Princess Pingyang, who originally died in February of the sixth year of Takeori, is now alive and kicking. Perhaps it is due to her continuous recuperation over the years. She originally had a serious lack of originality, but she has undergone many changes and has developed in a good direction. trend!
Du Ruhui, who died in the fourth year of Zhenguan, was also in good health at this time.

But Xue Li was different. He had grown up listening to his stories and had an inexplicable feeling towards him.

This is something that others don't have. These days, he has not deliberately contacted him because he doesn't know what kind of mood he should be in contact with.

Facing the figure he has admired since childhood, he cannot afford to be a teacher.

So I just let nature take its course. He is still young anyway, so it will be up to fate in the future!
Xue Li was very calm after taking the stage. He was neither nervous nor excited. He was just doing his own thing without being disturbed by the outside world at all!
Li Shimin nodded and said with a smile: "It's a good seedling!"

Li Gang also stroked his beard and smiled. There were many talents in the academy, and he, as a wine maker, also had a lot of face. He was very happy to be recognized by the emperor.

Although he sometimes didn't deal with the emperor, he still admired the emperor's ability to recognize people.

Look at the people he started, they are all quite capable, and none of them have rebelled so far. Where can you explain this matter?
Xue Li prepared in an orderly manner. He did not talk about some basics, but got started directly.

First there was some powder, as if he was trying to determine the quantity. He had a small scale at hand, looking extremely serious.

After weighing it, prepare other things.

Then he took out a piece of charcoal that looked like high-quality charcoal. He ground the charcoal into powder and started weighing it again.

But when he took out a piece of yellow stuff, Ji Song stood up suddenly!
"stop!"

Ji Song shouted, surprising everyone!
Ji Song always gave people the impression of being gentle, mature and steady. When had he ever lost his temper like this?

Just when everyone and Xue Li were at a loss, Ji Song came to Xue Li but ignored him.

Instead, he rummaged through the wooden frame next to him!
After confirming that there was nothing else, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at Xue Li, who was panicking, and said solemnly: "Do you know what you are doing now? Do you know what role he has?"

Xue Li shook his head blankly. He still doesn't understand, how could the always gentle gentleman be so dignified?

Especially the aura that made him feel like the hair on his head stood on his head even though he had been practicing martial arts for many years.

It's like being pricked by needles. How many people have to be killed to have such an aura?
Li Shimin couldn't help it anymore, so he stepped forward to ask.

When Ji Song saw it, he quickly stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, please stay away. I will report back to Your Majesty after I find out!"

Li Shimin stopped immediately. He was still very relieved about Ji Song. Since he said this, it meant that he had a reason.

Yuchi Gong sensed something was wrong and slowly approached Li Shimin. Other guards also began to surround the emperor! "Your Majesty, why don't you evade first? A good Marquis will not attack without aim."

Fang Xuanling stepped forward and said that when Ji Song claimed to be a minister, he stood beside the emperor. If Ji Song paid so much attention to him, something must have happened that they didn't know about.

The source of this matter is this student named Xue Li, or it is what he is about to do.

Seeing that the emperor did not come forward, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask: "Tell me honestly, how do you know these things? Or who taught you?"

Without waiting for Xue Li to speak, Ji Song continued: "Don't hesitate, any hesitation you have now will have immeasurable consequences for you."

"Also, who else knows about these things?" he asked, pointing to the powder on the table.

Xue Li opened his mouth, but seeing Ji Song's solemn expression, he said bitterly: "He is a Taoist priest. When I was a child, there was a Taoist temple near my student's home. Because my family was poor, I went to the Taoist temple to work as a fire boy for several years."

Then he pointed at the powder and said: "These are the things that Taoist priest discovered when he was refining alchemy. The student saw that you could freeze water with saltpeter and the reward was so generous, so he wanted to rely on this to get the reward, so that his mother would no longer suffer!"

After saying that, he squatted down and cried. He knew that he was finished this time. Although he didn't know what happened, it showed the seriousness of the matter that today's good ministers could take it so seriously.

"call"

Ji Song exhaled and relaxed completely. He knew that Xue Li was not lying. He still had some sense of knowing people.

"Okay, please wait aside. This time, you will be considered qualified. Although the points cannot be given to you, if you can get this thing out, I will privately reward you with a hundred strings."

"Don't refuse!"

Seeing Xue Li's incredible expression, he wanted to say something, but was stopped by Ji Song.

"From now on, this matter will be buried in your stomach. Even your descendants can't talk about it, otherwise no one can save you. Do you understand?" Ji Song stared at him.

Xue Li stood up, bowed respectfully to Ji Song, and said solemnly: "Students understand that if they reveal even half a sentence, they will be pierced by thousands of arrows and die."

"There is no need to swear this poisonous oath, just remember it. From now on, practice martial arts and study hard. If you don't understand anything, just ask me. I won't let you down."

"Okay, you go down first!"

Xue Li was overjoyed when he heard this. Did he not expect such an opportunity?
"Pack these things away. Don't ask why. If you shouldn't know, don't ask. Remember?"

When Xue Li went down, Ji Song called a few soldiers and asked them to take the thing down and guard it.

"promise!"

Ji Song and Xue Li happened to be in the center of the high platform, and they spoke so quietly that no one else could hear them.

Although Xue Li didn't know what mistake he had made, he was punished by Mr. Ji and even knelt down.

But they have no way of knowing what happened, so they can only wait for Ji Song's explanation!
"Some of the items Xue Li brought contained prohibited items, so I canceled the opportunity to participate. However, I was also negligent and did not inform you in advance. This is considered a dereliction of duty!"

"So, as compensation, I want to reward him with hundreds of dollars. This money is not from the academy. It is compensation for my negligence in my duties and caused him to lose this opportunity. Don't think too much about it."

Ji Song explained that no matter whether everyone believed it or not, if he believed it anyway, he would only have this statement in the future and nothing else.

"Okay, next!"

Ji Song announced to continue, and everyone's attention was diverted from this matter!
