Happy Little Scholar

"Since you have been favored by the princess, you should be diligent in the future and stop saying that you have no interest in official career. I really hope to see the day when you and I serve in the same court. Tianlai novel" After saying a few words of encouragement and support, Dong Zhifu left with Professor Feng.

Obviously, he regarded Li Yi as a promising junior.

After Professor Feng said something, he still looked unsatisfied when he left. He felt that although this seedling had changed, the change was not thorough and there was still a lot of room for improvement.

If he could become a high-ranking official in the future, he could also brag to his old friends that it was he who made the Shangshu or the Prime Minister turn back from the wrong path and strive to improve himself, so that he could have the status he has today...

Li Yi put away the name card and did not think about going to the capital to visit Lord Yan. However, according to what Professor Feng said, this piece of paper did not seem to be worthless. I just didn't know how much it could be sold for. I'm afraid it would definitely not be a loss for one hundred taels...

After closing the shop door, he saw Xiaohuan coming out of the theater with red eyes.

I thought someone had bullied her, but before I could ask her, the little maid took the initiative to confess that she was moved by the love between Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian. The little girl hadn't grown up yet, but she was very emotional. She cried when she first heard the story, and she must have cried a lot just now.

Her depressed mood was thrown out of her mind after Li Yi bought her a candy man. She couldn't bear to eat it in her hand. Just look, Li Yi bit off the head of the candy man in one bite, and the rest was solved by Xiaohuan in a few minutes.

Li Yi took the little maid to stroll on the streets of the city. At the same time, the dusty princess and her entourage finally arrived in Kyoto after several days of travel.

The imperial guards were waiting outside the city, and the swords opened the way, heading to the palace in smoke and dust.

……

……

"Is this the heavenly punishment that Mingzhu mentioned in the letter?" In the hall, Emperor Jing stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the fist-sized, black pottery jars on the table, unable to hide the doubt on his face.

"Yes, father, you must not underestimate these small jars. Although they are small, they have the power to destroy the world." After many days of travel, Li Mingzhu's face was exhausted. However, the fact of heavenly punishment was too serious. After entering the palace, she did not take any rest and put the object on her father's desk as quickly as possible.

The expression on Emperor Jing's face was still a little doubtful. How could the power of heavenly punishment be in the hands of humans? Even he, as the emperor, did not have this qualification, so what virtue and ability did others have?

Changde, who had always been with Emperor Jing, also had a trace of doubt on his old face. It was too incredible that such a small thing could have the power to destroy the world. His Majesty asked him to read the letter, and he still had great doubts about the description of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Hearing is not believing, seeing is believing. Li Mingzhu knew that this matter sounded incredible. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never believe it.

"If you don't believe it, you can see the power of this thing with your own eyes."

"Okay." Emperor Jing laughed and said, "I will try it myself to see how it can destroy the world."

After that, he reached out to pick up the pottery jar on the table.

"Father, you can't!" Li Mingzhu moved faster than him and took the "Heavenly Punishment" first. Seeing Emperor Jing looking at him in confusion, he explained: "This thing is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, it will cause an explosion. Father is the emperor, and you can't take risks."

Turning his head to look at Chang De, he said: "Let Chang Zongguan come."

Chang De's mouth twitched when he heard it, but he quickly said: "The princess is right. Your Majesty's body is worth a million gold. You must not take risks. Let this old slave do it for you."

Looking back at Li Mingzhu, he asked: "May I ask the princess how to use this thing?"

"Use a fire starter to light the outside line." Li Mingzhu pointed to the fuse outside the pottery jar and said.

Seeing Chang Zongguan take out the fire starter, it seemed that he was going to conduct this great experiment in this palace. Li Mingzhu's heart jumped suddenly and shouted: "Wait!"

"What else does your highness want?" Chang De raised his head and looked at her with a puzzled look.

Li Mingzhu glared at him and said, "It's too dangerous here, let's take it outside to try."

She had seen the power of the Heavenly Punishment countless times, especially under Li Yi's enlightenment. After Shen Liang's improvement for several days and nights, the power was more than one level higher. If it was really triggered in this palace, if they were not careful, all of them would be buried in it.

Chang Zongguan didn't understand how dangerous this small jar could be with so many guards around His Majesty. Princess, you are a little too careful.

"Then listen to Mingzhu and go outside." Emperor Jing didn't care and said with a smile.

His Majesty had said it, although he felt it was unnecessary, Chang De still went out.

The "Heavenly Punishment" used for the experiment would certainly not be mixed with iron nails and broken iron pieces. This thing can even penetrate the wall. If something happens to my father, no one can bear the responsibility.

Not to mention the iron pieces, even the explosion of broken pottery jars is very dangerous. A guard from the princess's mansion lost an arm because of this. If another person hadn't kicked him down at the critical moment, he would have paid for more than just the loss of an arm.

Originally, Chang De was ready to burn the things in his hand and throw them out after he walked out of the palace, but the princess insisted on finding an abandoned small courtyard to test it. He was very confused about how Princess Yongle, who had been very brave since childhood, suddenly became so timid.

However, the princess's order could not be disobeyed, so he had no choice but to choose an abandoned palace, light the fuse with a fire stick, and throw it in casually.

"Boom!"

Chang De, standing under the palace wall, only heard the princess shouting "be careful" from a distance, and then there was a loud rumbling sound behind him. He was distracted by the loud noise and even forgot to dodge, and was crushed by the collapsed palace wall.

After the loud noise, there was a deathly silence.

The indifferent look on Emperor Jing's face disappeared, and he flushed, holding his chest and gasping for breath.

"Imperial Physician, call the Imperial Physician!"

The dozen guards around were already in a mess. Some were prostrating themselves on the ground and kowtowed continuously, while others stood there with pale faces and weak legs and feet. Finally, one person recovered and ran to find the imperial physician. More panicked figures appeared in the distance. The whole palace was boiling because of this earth-shattering loud noise.

Crash!

A pile of bricks and stones flew out from the collapsed palace wall. Chang De, who was in tattered clothes and covered in dust, climbed up and patted the dust on his body. His old face was full of horror.

The palace wall collapsed, and a huge charred pit appeared at the base of the wall. The palace was in chaos. Is this the power of heaven's punishment?
