Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 337 How Do They Know?

Finally, when the smoke and dust cleared, Li Shimin saw Li Fu, Changsun Pingting and others, and immediately strode forward and asked with concern.

"Prince, Fu'er, what happened just now? Are you okay?" Li Shimin came to Li Fu with a nervous expression on his face, completely unaware that the faces of Li Fu and the people behind him became incomparably weird .

Li Fu was a little dazed, grandson Pingting, Concubine Yang and others were also dumbfounded. No one thought how Li Shimin would bring so many princes and relatives to the East Palace. Shouldn't they have a night banquet in the palace at this time?
At this time, the princes were all yelling, and they gathered around Li Fu, saying what you said and what I said, not to mention how lively it was.

"Hey, the prince is fine, what happened to you just now? Did you not respond to such a big commotion?"

"It smells wrong. It's such a big smoke. Could it be poisonous smoke? Your Majesty, be careful!"

"No, it's the smell of burning saltpeter, and it's not right, there are other things, who can tell me what's going on?"

"Pingting, what happened just now? The East Palace was full of flames and smoke filled the sky, didn't you notice it?"

Hearing what everyone said, Li Fu finally understood what was going on. The elder grandson Pingting and Concubine Yang Guifei looked embarrassed, but they didn't dare to speak, they waited for Li Fu's explanation.

[I'll go and set off a few firecrackers. As for mobilizing teachers and mobilizing people like this?But Li Er really cares about me! 】

[No way, what to say, they are also concerned about chaos, they don't know there is such a thing as firecrackers. 】

firecracker?Li Shimin's heart tightened suddenly when he heard Li Fu's voice, and he subconsciously looked around.

At this time, the gunpowder smoke dissipated, revealing red confetti all over the ground in the front yard. Seeing the obvious traces of explosion spots on the ground, Li Shimin suddenly figured out something.

Changsun Wuji asked his daughter for a long time and didn't get an answer, so he suddenly became impatient, and ignored Li Shimin and Li Fu, and directly scolded, "Pingting, what's going on? You can still laugh, do you know something serious happened?" ?what happened?"

Seeing her father's serious face, the eldest grandson Pingting also saw that Li Fu had no intention of explaining at all, so she had no choice but to go forward and explain: "Your Majesty, Father, my lords, in fact, it was just His Highness the Crown Prince who was setting off firecrackers, and there were no assassins! "

"Firecrackers? What are firecrackers? Can they make such a big commotion?"

"Yeah, the sound is so loud, it's like thunder, and there was lightning and thunder just now, isn't it an assassin?"

All the princes expressed their doubts, and Li Fu didn't bother to talk nonsense with these people, so he waved to Shen Lian, and Shen Lian directly took out another set of firecrackers and handed them to Li Fu to light.

Under the horrified eyes of Li Shimin and the Tang officials, a string of firecrackers exploded right in front of their eyes.

"Escort, escort!" The people who didn't know the truth suddenly thought that someone was assassinating, and hurriedly gathered Li Shimin in the center.

Li Shimin pushed away the person blocking him, frowning and staring at the crackling firecrackers not far away.

It turned out that this was the firecracker that the prince had been thinking about all the time. Even though Li Shimin was prepared, he was still shocked by the scene in front of him, and so were the officials present.

"This, this is firecrackers. They can explode and emit lightning. How do you do that?"

"This smell is really bad, who made it, isn't this nonsense?"

"It's terrible, how could there be such a thing, and it's still in the East Palace, it's just..."

The royal relatives, civil and military officials were all frightened. At first they just thought that the eldest grandson Pingting was joking with them, but now that they saw it with their own eyes, they couldn't believe it.

But when everyone got used to the sound of the firecrackers, they all found it quite interesting.

"This firecracker is more interesting than firecrackers, and it's easier to control."

"Yes, firecrackers are troublesome to burn. This firecracker explodes louder, and it can explode anytime and anywhere."

"It's really more interesting to put such a string on New Years and holidays. The prince is quite thoughtful. No wonder he didn't participate in the palace banquet today. It turned out to be for this reason!"

"His Royal Highness, do you have any spare firecrackers here? The old minister wants to buy one to go back to be happy!"

"I want to buy it too, the prince will sell it to me..."

Civil and military officials joined in the fun and wanted to buy Li Fu's firecrackers, while a group of bigwigs among the military commanders carefully looked at the exploded firecrackers and quickly thought of other aspects.

"My lord, do you see that, if these firecrackers are used on the battlefield, especially against cavalry!"

"What Duke Wei said is true. Let's go together, not only to deal with the cavalry, but if we sneak attack the enemy camp at night, get hundreds of strings of firecrackers and throw them everywhere, the enemy camp will definitely blow up the camp!"

"That's the reason. This thing is good, but it's a bit difficult to control, and it's easy to accidentally hurt your own people..."

Li Shimin smiled when he heard that the two princes had already started to calculate how to use firecrackers to deal with the enemy.

Whether it is military or not, one can see at a glance the advantages and disadvantages of using firecrackers on the battlefield.

In fact, Li Shimin really wants to introduce to the two princes now, what is gunpowder and what is firearm.

But just when Li Shimin was about to speak, two people suddenly broke into the East Palace, shouting and shouting.

"Who did it? Who did this? Who caused the explosion? Did you practice alchemy on New Year's Eve?"

"No, brother, no one makes alchemy, it smells like gunpowder, but this smell is wrong!"

Hearing the shouts of the two uninvited guests, Li Shimin frowned. He did not expect that there was someone who knew about gunpowder like him. Who could it be?
As a result, Li Shimin took a closer look and found that the two uninvited guests were none other than Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng!
Li Fu looked at Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang who broke into his East Palace, and also frowned.

【How do these two immortals know about gunpowder?Interesting! 】

[Although gunpowder first originated from Taoist alchemy, it really appeared in the Song Dynasty, which is still far away from now! 】

[Of course, the Taoists in the Tang Dynasty, especially the Taoists who were good at alchemy, had indeed created the sulfur fire method at this time. 】

[That is to say, use sulfur and saltpeter to grind into powder, add saponins to make gunpowder-like substances, and then improve the formula, and the things made have the power of gunpowder initially. 】

[Could it be that my memory is wrong, the term gunpowder actually appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and it was created by these two people in front of me? 】

Li Fu murmured in his heart, Li Shimin only understood roughly, if Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng could hear Li Fu's heartfelt voice, they would definitely give him a thumbs up.
