God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

How could a Taoist priest invent gunpowder?

Li Er couldn't help asking: "Du He, did you already know that Taoist Qinglian invented gunpowder?"

Du He shook his head and said: "Father, the sons and servants are all guessing."

"It's hard for me to believe."

Du He explained: "I would like to inform my father that my son invented gunpowder, and it was not groundless, but he stood on the shoulders of his predecessors. My son was not doing business in the past, just for fun. For a while, I fell in love with alchemy. What is it?" Hong's "Baopuzi" and other articles are memorized by heart, and he has also collected many Taoist priests' notes. Erchen discovered that a few decades ago, some Taoist priests who made alchemy discovered that certain things were mixed together. , the elixir refined will burn when exposed to fire, and will produce dazzling light. Erchen tried to make some by himself, and later found that it was true, and it would explode, but these gunpowders are only very primitive and backward. , Erchen spent ninety-nine and eighty-one days without eating or drinking, and finally invented the improved gunpowder..."

Sounds like a myth.

But there are reasons.

Li Er hurriedly ordered: "Go to Qin Tianjian who understands alchemy."

Qin Tianjian is an institution specializing in the study of astronomy and geography.

Among them, there are also many warlocks.

There are not a few people who know alchemy.

Not long after, several warlocks from Qin Tianjian were brought up.

Li Er asked himself: "When you study alchemy, do you know that there is a kind of elixir that burns when exposed to fire and emits a dazzling light?"

An old Taoist hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, there is indeed this kind of elixir, and it was refined by my grandfather. It takes complicated methods to refine it. I have worked hard for 30 years, and I can barely refine it." , if His Majesty needs it, I can refine it right away."

Taoist priests have grandchildren?

It's all details, not important.

The important thing is that Li Er and the others were all stunned.

This old guy's grandfather made gunpowder?

Doesn't that mean that it really existed decades ago?

It seemed that Du He was not lying.

And that old man, when he heard others mention that the elixir refined by his grandfather was the gunpowder invented by Du He, he immediately beat his feet and chest.

My grandfather invented gunpowder, but secretly hid it, passing it on from male to female.

However, because of the invention of gunpowder, Du He made great progress and was admired by thousands of people.

"The way of heaven is unfair!"

"Heaven's not fair..."

He couldn't help but yelled.

However, he was forcibly dragged down by several eunuchs next to him.

……

Li Er looked at Wang Cheng: "Wang Qing's family, what else do you have to say? Nowadays, even Taoist temples can make gunpowder, and Lu's family has a big business, so making gunpowder is justified. There is no evidence for this matter, how can Du He be wronged? "

The officials who followed Wang Cheng up and down all lowered their heads.

This was originally a dead end.

As long as there is no evidence that outsiders can make gunpowder, Du He is almost certain to die.

Unexpectedly, so many Taoist refining gunpowder appeared in an instant!

Wang Cheng was flustered at first, but he turned his head and looked at Lu Mingyou.

In an instant, he made up his mind.

puff.

Wang Cheng suddenly knelt down on his knees, prostrated himself on the ground, and burst into tears.

……

Chapter 1022 The Secret Recipe of Gunpowder Manufacturing in the Secret Glass Recipe

Wang Cheng prostrated himself on the ground like a big toad.

He cried and said: "Your Majesty, I'm guilty, I'm guilty, what I said just now is not the truth, in fact... there is something else hidden about this matter."

Another secret?

The gossip mentality of civil and military ministers was suddenly suspended.

I only heard Wang Cheng say: "Your Majesty, in fact, the members of the Lu family were indeed killed by gunpowder, and the gunpowder was indeed made by ourselves."

Li Ke couldn't help yelling: "Wang Cheng, you old man, since Mrs. Lu made gunpowder and blew himself up to death, what does it have to do with this king's teacher? How dare you talk nonsense here and wrong people indiscriminately, come on!" Ah, let's fight this king for three hundred rounds."

嘡啷.

Sword unsheathed.

Li Ke is going to fight Wang Cheng.

Fortunately, several generals around hurriedly stopped him.

Otherwise, Wang Cheng was afraid that his head would fall to the ground.

Wang Cheng was scared out of his wits, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, my lords, although the Lu family made gunpowder, the secret recipe of gunpowder was provided by Du He."

Li Er asked: "You mean, Du He provided Lu Shi with the secret recipe for making gunpowder? Gunpowder is a weapon, and it was invented by Du He. Why did Du He provide Lu Shi with the secret recipe for gunpowder manufacturing?"

Everyone has the same doubts.

Wang Cheng said frankly: "Your Majesty, in fact, Lu Ming'an sent someone to the Datang Glass Factory to borrow the secret recipe for gunpowder. Lu Ming'an is the best learner in his life. When he learned that the Datang Glass Factory actually When he was able to make something better than colored glaze, he couldn't help but want to pay his respects. He went to the county government of Hu County many times to ask Du He for advice, but Du He was selfish and unwilling to teach. The Datang Glass Factory borrowed the secret recipe for making glass and successfully borrowed it, but how did he know that it was not a secret recipe for making glass at all, but a secret recipe for making gunpowder, and finally killed all 35 members of his family including himself... and this Everything was designed by Du He."

Du He was stunned.

I have never seen such a shameless person.

Stealing is borrowing.

He also described Du He as selfish.

On the contrary, Lu Ming'an, who stole the secret recipe of glass making, devoted himself to learning?

Du He couldn't help but think, Wang Cheng, Wang Cheng, I thought you were just shameless, but I didn't expect you to be so shameless, you are not as good as a pig or a dog.
