Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

imperial study room,
Li Shimin was approving the memorial when Eunuch Gao came in and said that Hejian King Li Xiaogong had arrived.

Li Shimin let him in.

Li Xiaogong came in and greeted with a smile: "My humble minister pays homage to the emperor."

Li Shimin took off his glasses and said with a smile, "What's the matter, brother?"

Ever since King Jing Li Yuanjing was punished for treason, Li Shimin felt more and more fond of Li Xiaogong.

Do things honestly and don't make trouble.

"Your Majesty, I will go to Sujiazhuang tomorrow to see the power of gunpowder. I am very much looking forward to it."

"So I want to ask in advance, how powerful is this gunpowder?"

Li Xiaogong laughed.

Li Shimin's eyes flashed suddenly, and he frowned and gasped.

"Hiss, I don't know either."

"Why did the emperor suddenly ask this?"

Li Shimin pretended to be surprised.

Li Xiaogong said: "Just because Zhongshu ordered the three of them to say that the gunpowder is powerful and can kill both gods and ghosts. I didn't believe it, so I made a bet with the three of them."

Today Li Shimin sent someone to tell the ministers of the DPRK and China that he would go to Sujiazhuang to see gunpowder tomorrow.

These generals are not stupid, if they are worried that gunpowder is really powerful, then they will suffer.

Even if the salary has risen, 1000 million Guan is by no means a small number.

So, they encouraged Li Xiaogong to come in to find out what Li Shimin said.

According to what Fang Xuanling said, Li Shimin was also in Yangzhou City at that time, so he should also know the power of gunpowder.

"oh, I see."

"I have never seen gunpowder before, and I don't know the power of what this kid Su Yu is tinkering with, so I let all the ministers watch it on the spot."

"What the hell are Zhongshuling three doing to blackmail you?"

Li Shimin pretended to scratch his head, looking puzzled.

Li Xiaogong didn't think too much, he was overjoyed: In this way, Fang Xuanling and the other three's big words were pure fabrications.

We won this bet.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, tomorrow we will go to Sujiazhuang on time."

Li Xiaogong said with a chuckle.

"Oh, okay, I'll go today, don't be late."

Li Shimin shook his head and said.

"Wei Chen retire."

Li Xiaogong happily exited the imperial study and left Chengtianmen.

Back at the house in Shengyefang, a group of generals were waiting inside.

Seeing Li Xiaogong's return, Li Jing quickly asked, "King Hejian, what does the Emperor say?"

Yu Chigong asked: "Has your majesty seen gunpowder?"

Xu Shiji asked, "Old man Fang is cheating?"

Li Xiaogong smiled slightly, spread his hands and said: "Generals, be safe and don't be impatient, sit down."

More than 20 generals sat down.

The servant poured tea.

"Just now this king went to the imperial study and asked the emperor."

Li Xiaogong picked up the tea, took a sip, calmed down.

"how?"

Xu Shiji asked.

Li Xiaogong smiled slightly and said: "It's pure fiction, the emperor has never seen gunpowder, this is the first time Prince Su made it, no one knows how powerful it is."

Hearing this, everyone booed.

"I just knew that the three of them lied to us. They thought they were the brains of the Tang Dynasty, Fang Mou Duan, Wei Mou Duan, and they treated us generals as fools."

Yuchi Gong said with a sneer.

Hou Junji was also there, and he took part in the bet this time, hoping to make some money.

"That is, although we are military generals, we are not reckless. How can we believe such words that lie to three-year-old children?"

Hou Junji snorted coldly.

The other military generals had a mediocre relationship with Hou Junji, and they didn't respond to what he said.

Hou Junji came to inquire about the news, since he knew about it, he didn't want to stay for a long time.

"Farewell everyone, Sujiazhuang will collect money tomorrow."

Hou Jun got up and left Li Xiaogong's house.

When he arrived at the gate, his young general Sun Wei led the horse for him.

"General, are you going back home?"

Sun Wei asked.

Hou Junji looked inside and said with a sneer, "No, go to the East Palace."

Sun Wei followed Hou Junji to the East Palace.

After Hou Junji left, the other generals continued to celebrate in the mansion.

"By the way, why didn't Duke Lu come?"

Yuchi Gong asked.

"Duke Yi didn't come either, where is he?"

Xu Shiji asked.

Only then did everyone find out that Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong were not here.

"Duke Yi is going to be on duty in the imperial city. Duke Lu was kicked out of the court that day by the emperor. I don't know about it."

Li Jing laughed.

"It's too much for you to not tell Cheng Zhijie about such a good opportunity to make money."

Yuchi Gong laughed out loud.

The others were also very proud, feeling that Cheng Yaojin had been tricked, and they were quite happy.

In the imperial study.

After Li Xiaogong left, Li Shimin stood at the door and looked at his back, he laughed and said: "Brother Huang, there are no fathers and sons in the casino, don't blame brother, I cheated on you."

"Eunuch Gao, prepare the horse, I'm going to Sujiazhuang."

Li Shimin lied to Li Xiaogong, without the slightest sense of guilt, and even felt very happy.

Eunuch Gao got ready immediately, Li Shimin changed his clothes, and He Meng followed and went to Sujiazhuang.

After entering Sujiazhuang, a group of people walked towards the back mountain.

Lao Chen is directing everyone to work.

"Old Chen, how are things going?"

Li Shimin asked.

Old Chen said: "Go back to the emperor, it's almost done, tomorrow will be fine."

"That's good."

Li Shimin walked into the yard, and Cheng Yaojin sat next to Su Yu and said happily, the content was a bit unhealthy.

Gongsun Lan is practicing sword alone.

At such a young age, he was so obsessed with swordsmanship.

No wonder Su Yu said that this girl will be the number one female swordsman in the Tang Dynasty.

"I can't see, you still have the guts to go to Pingkangfang, and my wife will not interrupt your dog legs."

Su Yu laughed.

"Visiting a brothel is like hiding money from a private house. There is always a chance if you think about it."

Cheng Yaojin smiled wretchedly.

Li Shimin coughed, Cheng Yaojin was startled, the melon seeds in his hand shook and fell to the ground.

"Your majesty, you scared my old Cheng to death."

Cheng Yaojin's little heart was thumping with fright.

In fact, he is very afraid of his wife.

"Hmph, a son-in-law and an important minister say such indecent things."

Li Shimin grabbed a handful of melon seeds and put them down again.

"Lao Li, eat whatever you want, no one will stop you."

Su Yu laughed.

Li Shimin sat down, ignored Su Yu, and said to Cheng Yaojin, "The king of Hejian came to the imperial study to find me just now, and asked how powerful the gunpowder is."

Cheng Yaojin spat out the melon seed shells in his mouth, and asked anxiously, "What did the emperor say?"

Li Shimin smiled treacherously: "I don't know."

Cheng Yaojin gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is ruthless enough, my brothers are cheating, we will make money tomorrow."

Li Shimin had a good smile at first, but when Cheng Yaojin said this, his smile gradually disappeared.

The queen, Chang Le, and Xiao Sizi came back from outside, carrying a cage in their hands.

Inside, several gray animals were jumping around.

"Guanyin maidservant, what did you grab?"

Li Shimin asked.

The little one laughed and said, "Bamboo rat, Brother Su said that this bamboo rat is delicious."

Gongsun Lan was practicing sword, and suddenly saw the bamboo rat, quickly put away the sword and ran over.

"Wow, what a big mouse."

Gongsun Lan stared at the cage with big watery eyes.

"Is the mouse cute?"

The queen teases Gongsun Lan.

"Well, it's so cute, I really want to eat it."

Gongsun Lan said innocently.

Forehead.
The queen was speechless, the words were speechless.

Li Shimin turned to Su Yu and said, "See what you have taught Xiao Lanlan."

Su Yu smiled and said, "I raise bamboo rats for eating. What's wrong? Don't eat them if you have the ability."

Li Shimin sneered, "Do you think I'm stupid?"

Touching Gongsun Lan's head, Li Shimin said earnestly: "Xiao Lanlan is right, Shushu is so cute, I want to eat it."

Gongsun Lan drooled and said, "Yes, I ate it."
