Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 51 Explosives Test
During the wedding season, time always flies by, and the New Year is coming in a blink of an eye.

This was Zuo Ming's first New Year when he came to Datang. This New Year was very easy for his family, because they had no other relatives except the Wang family.At most, it was a year of worship with Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji.

Li Tai was much sadder than him. He broke his leg just because of New Year's greetings, and he had to pay homage to his ancestors. He was so exhausted that he didn't even have anything to eat.

This year is also the most comfortable New Year for Wang Siyan. She doesn't have to visit countless relatives, and she doesn't have to dress up like a zongzi to show off outside.

The home is covered with fluffy carpets, and you don't even need to wear shoes. There is a fireplace in the living room with endless firewood, but there is no smoke in the house.

Playing poker, mahjong, monopoly or flying chess together with my sisters and husband, or eating some fruits and vegetables grown in the greenhouse, as well as twists and rice cakes fried by Zuo Ming himself, it is really not too leisurely.

Moreover, the Zuo family basically has no family rules. As long as the daily work is completed, the girls can basically play whatever they want, play cards if they have a match, and watch quietly beside everyone Reading scripts and comics, or cheering, the whole atmosphere is quite harmonious.

The joy of the Zuo family had the greatest impact on the Wang family and Li Shimin's family.After finishing the ancestor worship, Li Tai was forced by Li Shimin to go to Zuo Mansion to get the extra playing cards, mahjong and flying chess from Zuo Mansion.As for the palace, Wang Sichun, Wang Siyan's younger sister, was sent here.

Fortunately, in order to prevent loss or damage, Zuo Ming made a lot of spare cards, but even so, it only met the requirements of the Li family. In the end, the Wang family only took away two cards and a pair of mahjong .

With Zuo Ming's chess and cards, Li Shimin had a very comfortable time watching the year, and even played mahjong with the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan for a while.

And the little kid like Li Zhi below was having fun around a pair of flying chess.

Compared with Li Shimin's priority, Empress Changsun will be much busier.I don't know if it's because I've been with Zuo Ming for a long time or what, Empress Changsun actually thought of starting a chess and card business. After receiving Zuo Ming's model, she ordered the servants in the palace to start making chess and cards.

After learning the news, Zuo Ming was quite speechless.How much money can this kind of thing make?Those maids and servants worth tossing about during the Chinese New Year?
But when he thought that the maids and servants at that time had no human rights, Zuo Ming could only sigh helplessly.

After the new year, Zuo Ming got busy. First, the black powder was about to be configured, and then the blueprints for sea ships were about to be drawn.

He had learned the raw materials needed for black powder in chemistry class in his previous life, and he also searched the ratio on the Internet out of curiosity, so it is not too difficult to prepare.

Anyway, let Zuo Ming complete the final experiment before Shangyuan.

After the test was successful, it was time to fill the explosive barrel and bury the fuse. In order to shock the power enough, Zuo Ming directly made an explosive barrel with people laughing.With so many explosives, even Zuo Ming felt his scalp tingle when he saw it.

He didn't know how strong these explosives were, so after entering the palace, he asked the emperor to find Eunuch Qian, who had the highest martial arts in the whole palace.

The reason why he was called here was naturally to light the fuse of the explosive barrel.Although he is invulnerable, it is not time to be exposed.

In order not to kill Eunuch Qian, Zuo Ming even deliberately buried the explosive barrel at the root of a big tree.

However, seeing Zuo Ming being so careful, Li Shimin quit.

"What are you doing? How can I see its power clearly when it is buried in the ground? Didn't you say that this thing is extremely destructive? Just blow up the palace wall!"

Li Shimin was also very courageous, pointing directly at the palace wall next to the Ganlu Hall.

Hearing this, Zuo Ming suddenly made a bitter face. If this really exploded, Empress Changsun would have to unscrew his ears.

But when Li Shimin spoke, the servants immediately took action, and Zuo Ming couldn't stop him.

There was no other way, Zuo Ming had no choice but to extend the lead wire to ensure the safety of Eunuch Qian.However, his doing so caused Eunuch Qian's dissatisfaction, and Eunuch Qian felt that he was underestimating himself.
So, when the explosive barrel was placed properly and Eunuch Qian went to touch the fuse, he deliberately pinched off a large part of it with his hands.

And it was this large part that was pinched off, which made Eunuch Qian lie on the bed for more than half a month after the business.

Because of insufficient materials, the lead wire used by Zuo Ming is actually just a small, thin strip of paper.And because it was snowing heavily outside now, the already short lead wire went out very quickly.

Seeing that Eunuch Qian wanted to order some, Zuo Ming had a bad heart, but before he could stop it, a thunderbolt suddenly rose from the blue sky, and after that, Eunuch Qian was pushed back backwards by a strong wave of air.

At the same time, Li Shimin and the others felt that the whole world trembled, and the entire palace wall of the Manna Palace collapsed.

Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them, even with Li Shimin's composure, he was speechless for a long time.

Zuo Ming can be said to be the only one who still has reason. When he saw Eunuch Qian flying back after being blown upside down, he immediately rushed up.

Eunuch Qian's eyes, ears, mouth and nose were covered with blood, but he did not pass out immediately, but still opened his eyes wide.

After checking Eunuch Qian's injuries, he found that he had only broken a few ribs, and Zuo Ming let out a long breath.Eunuch Qian was lucky, the flying wood and rocks didn't hit his vitals.

However, if this kind of injury is not treated in time, the consequences will be very serious, so Zuo Ming immediately wanted Zhao Si next to Li Shimin to help carry Eunuch Qian down, and then let the imperial doctor treat him.But after shouting for a long time, Zuo Ming found that everyone still didn't respond.

After being slightly taken aback, he realized that it was himself who couldn't hear his own voice.

——The loud noise just now actually blew them all up to ringing ears!
It really was an explosion, and the world lost its voice!

There was no way, Zuo Ming had no choice but to rush to Zhao Si's side, pushing him and Li Shimin awake.

Li Shimin, who was awake, was a little excited, and Changsun Wuji, who was fortunate enough to watch, was also very excited.

"Such an artifact, if it had appeared earlier, how many soldiers would have been sacrificed by my Tang Dynasty!"

"Yes! Your Majesty! With this thing, there will be no strong city in the world in the future. It is just around the corner to expand the territory and make great achievements!"

The two of them were dreaming of utilitarianism one sentence at a time, and it seemed that neither of them had seen Eunuch Qian's tragic situation.As for Zhao Si, how could he dare to leave without Li Shimin speaking?Now he smiled wryly at Zuo Ming.

Annoyed, Zuo Ming had no choice but to carry Eunuch Qian on his back alone, and walked towards the Lizheng Hall.

At this time, the entire palace was in a mess, with servants and maids rushing around in a panic.Zuo Ming trespassed into the harem without his servants at his side. Naturally, he was quickly stopped by the Imperial Forest Army, but those Imperial Forest Army were obviously familiar with Zuo Ming's existence, so they didn't make things difficult for him. Instead, they informed Empress Changsun for him. With a sound.

Empress Changsun was a little baffled, and wanted to rush to Ganlu Hall to find out the situation, Zuo Ming's arrival was extremely timely.

Hearing that the movement over there was caused by the experiment of Leifa, Empress Changsun was extremely surprised.Even though she had always believed in Zuo Ming's methods, she never thought that the so-called Lei Fa would be so powerful.

However, apart from being shocked, she also felt a little angry. She felt that Zuo Ming was really messing around. How could such a killer be tested in the palace?

Of course, she was angry when she was angry, and she arranged for the imperial doctor to treat Eunuch Qian immediately.

When Zuo Ming helped a group of imperial doctors to treat Eunuch Qian, Li Shimin finally came to the Lizheng Hall.At this time, Li Shimin's face was still red, but there was also a hint of embarrassment.

After all, because of the momentary excitement, he ignored the seriously injured Eunuch Qian, which was unjustifiable.

"Your Majesty! Don't test this kind of thing in the palace in the future. It's not a big deal to disturb the harem, but it's not good to scare the emperor!"

Seeing Li Shimin, Empress Changsun said with a face full of reproach.

"The maidservant Guanyin is right! I miscalculated this time, and I really didn't expect that Leifa is so powerful! You don't know, it's just such a small bucket, and it directly pours my nectar into the palace. The wall was blown to pieces! With such a thing, how can there be a strong city in this world?"

Li Shimin said with a face of shame and remorse at first, but then changed into a face of excitement.

Hearing that Zuo Ming's explosives actually blew up the palace wall of Ganlu Palace, Empress Changsun immediately turned her eyebrows upside down, turned viciously to Zuo Ming, who had a bitter face, and twisted his ears vigorously to turn 360 degrees.
Of course, Li Shimin gave a gag order regarding the explosive test, but Li Tai still knew about it.

Hearing that Zuo Ming actually blew up the palace wall of Ganlu Palace, this guy seemed very excited, and kept pestering him, asking him to talk about the situation at that time.

Zuo Ming naturally didn't bother to pay attention to him. He had already handed over the development of explosives and forts to the royal family. Of course, this was conditional.The condition is that the royal family must build a hundred ship cannons for Zuo Ming free of charge.

The lion of Zuo Ming opened his mouth, probably because he took advantage of Zuo Ming too many times, but this time Li Shimin reluctantly agreed.

When Zuo Ming told Li Tai the news, he was naturally very happy. Although he had never seen the power of that explosive barrel with his own eyes, he heard the loud noise from a long distance away.

This kind of thing, if you give him a hundred doors, it is enough to conquer a country.

After talking about the artillery, Zuo Ming chatted with Li Tai about the poetry meeting of the Lantern Festival the day after tomorrow.

Hearing that Zuo Ming would also participate in the Lantern Festival poetry meeting, Li Tai, who had thought it was quite boring at first, suddenly cheered up, and said that we would go there together when the time came.

With Li Taixiang accompanying him, Zuo Ming didn't dislike the Lantern Festival Poetry Fair any more, but just drinking, looking at beauties, listening to poems, this kind of spectator is his natal role
