Zai Sheng first year, the end of the year.

The white snow covered the imperial city.

In the palace, in the flat hunting ground.

The three father and son were all wearing heavy armor, with heat-insulating cowhide shirts inside the heavy armor, and iron helmets to prevent falls on their heads.

On the snow in front of him is a snowman with a big belly and the same height as a real person. The eyebrows and eyes on the snowman's head are drawn with ink, and the beard and triangular eyes are very similar to the Yaksha written in the book.

There is a lead wire under the snowman's body, which has been connected to the feet of the father and son.

Yuan Bao, the chief eunuch, was standing by the side with a tray of thick incense.

Xiao Yucheng stared at the lead wire under his feet, supported the heavy iron helmet on his head, and stared expectantly at Han Mochu beside him: "Yafu Yafu, can you light the fire now?"

"Wait." Han Mochu twisted the lead wire in his hand again through the glove, and then hooked his hand to Yuanbao beside him: "Light incense."

Yuan Bao complied, ordered a thick incense and handed it to Han Mochu.

The fuze was ignited quickly, and it fell on the ground like a swift fiery snake, plunging all the way to the snowman.

There was a muffled sound of "bang", and the snowman's big belly was blown to pieces, turning into big balls of snow and falling from the sky. Since the scope of the deflagration was larger than what the three of them expected, the father and son who couldn't dodge were directly killed. A large expanse of flaked snow hit.

"Puff...cough cough cough..." The moment the explosion happened, Xiao Yucheng happened to open his mouth, and a piece of crushed snow fell into his mouth.

His father, who was supposed to be responsible for protecting him, the moment the snow flew over, his first reaction was to pass him and hug his Yafu in his arms, and then covered him tightly with a cloak, only letting him out.

When he finally shook the snow off his face, he found that his father and father had already gone to the side to find the piece of snow that flew the farthest.

"Yucheng, come here." Han Mochu stepped on a block of snow and waved to Xiao Budian: "Stand here and don't move."

"Oh." Xiao Yucheng nodded, and ran over with his little feet while holding the iron helmet on top of his head.

"Your Majesty, you stand at the place where Burning Heart is." Han Mochu greeted Gu Xiu to stand at the fixed place.

And he himself took a soft ruler for measuring and measured the distance between the two feet to calculate the scope of the explosion.

"Four feet, five feet, two points." Holding a soft ruler, Han Mochu walked to the little eunuch who was holding a pen and ink and wrote down this data.

This is a blast made by the father and son!The drug experiment is not limited to today, since the beginning of winter, the father and son have done no less than thirty or forty experiments like this.

Every game should be recorded!The dosage of the drug and the scope of the affected area.

As for why they toss so much in the winter, the reason is that at the beginning of the year, more than a dozen mineral-rich veins were discovered in the former Turkic territory, including brass, pig iron, coal, and a large area dedicated to producing minerals. A dense forest of hardwoods such as pines and cypresses.

If you want to dig out these mines as soon as possible for your own use, it is not enough to rely on the local slaves, the prisoners captured in several battles, and the slaves bought from the far sea.

So Han Mochu remembered that many, many years ago, Mr. Yi Wei had made a very powerful gunpowder called fried!medicine.

This kind of fried!The gunpowder is more than ten times more powerful than ordinary gunpowder. It is based on nitrate phosphate rock, blended with thick oil extracted from cinders, sealed in a sealed porcelain bottle, and then filled with wood chips for ignition and an extremely long fuze. If people ignite it from the farthest distance, it only takes a few stones to blow up mountains and open tunnels to break huge rocks.

Han Mochu has always remembered this kind of sex method clearly.

That year, he was six years old and Su Che was seven years old, and it was also in the twelfth lunar month of winter.

One day, Mr. Yi Wei suddenly said that he wanted to make something fun for him and Su Che.I saw Mr. Yi Yi go through the operation of burning coal and refining oil, and finally filled a lot of small bottles with fuzes for each of them.

Then he pulled them to the mountain pass, taught them to light the bottle and throw it down the mountain, and listen to the rumbling, rumbling echo in the mountain stream.

The three of them played happily for a long time, and went home satisfied.

In a few days it will be the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and Mr. Yi Yi is going to take his two children down the mountain to buy new year's goods.

Halfway up the mountain, I met local officers and soldiers who were moving huge boulders on the mountain road.

When the leader of the officers and soldiers saw Mr. Yi Wei, he hurriedly stepped forward to apologize, saying that the road down the mountain was blown up by some thieves, and Mr. Yi could just write a list of what he wanted for the new year, and the magistrate would give it to him. to the mountains.

Mr. Yi Wei didn't say anything when he heard the words, he just smiled and turned back with the two children in his arms.

From then on, Han Mochu remembered the power of those small bottles.

Coincidentally, when Han Mochu ran into Mr. Yi Ji when he went to Raksha that time, Mr. Yi Ji really put such a fried rice in the box he brought back to Beijing!The prescription of the medicine, and told him to be careful.

Presumably, he knew that he would need these to open a mine in the future.

It's evening.

After dinner, Xiao Yucheng went back to the palace to do homework by himself.

Gu Xiu was reading the memorial, while Han Mochu was still studying the experimental data recorded these days.

These data include fried!Several formulas of the medicine, the dosage, the power of explosion and the reaction time of the fuze are all absolutely perfect, so that the formulas and methods can be handed over to the military supervisory department for mass production.

After a while, a brochure from the Ministry of Industry for approving project funds came into Gu Xiu's eyes.

The brochures about this kind of money exchange have always given Gu Xiu a headache, and he has never been willing to delve into it.

Han Mochu has repeatedly taught him several times, but he still has no patience, and he can care about the gains and losses of three or five hundred taels here.So, he pushed the memorial to Han Mochu again: "Zi Ran, please help me to approve one, you know that I never like to read these things."

Han Mochu took the memorial and glanced at it hastily, and said, "Your Majesty, this document is about the construction of the Hanyuan Palace that I mentioned a while ago, isn't Your Majesty planning to take a look at it?"

A few days ago, Han Mo's first and last memorials were to build the main hall of the Hanyuan Hall in the palace, as well as other palaces that had been in disrepair for a long time.The excerpts went through a cutscene in the Six Departments, and the emperor did not yet have a clear decree, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry had already drawn up the excerpts for appropriation.

It can be seen from this that Taifu Han's words in the previous dynasty are really comparable to the imperial decree.

"Zi Ran wants to repair the palace, so that's it. The Ministry of Industry asks for money, and the Ministry of Households allocates money. Right now, the treasury is full of money. It's time to start construction, but..." Gu Xiu paused.

"Just what?"

"Hanyuan Hall was originally a palace left over from the previous dynasty. I think that instead of renovating it like this, it would be better to dismantle and rebuild it directly. The cost will not be too much. If not, the cost of renovating every year is not a small amount. Besides, now the foreign race There are also quite a lot of insights, the Hanyuan Hall must not be too old and shabby."

"Since this is the case, Your Majesty should try to use the newly-made explosives to dismantle it?" Han Mochu pushed the experimental data in his hand towards Gu Xiu, and said warmly.

"Explosion! Medicine?" Gu Xiu frowned and asked.

"Your majesty, let me do the math. If your majesty wants the Ministry of Industry to dismantle the Hanyuan Hall, the construction period will take at least one month. Including the workers' profit, it will cost 2000 taels of silver." Han Mochu turned around and said: "If It only takes about 300 taels of silver to deflagrate and dismantle it with explosives. The construction period for eradicating the ruins can be completed in only five or six days. And I can also calculate based on this, how effective these explosives will be in actual combat."

"Since Ziran has made up his mind, let's do it this way. I will send back the paperwork from the Ministry of Industry, and then order the Military Weapons Supervision to make a batch of trial ones first."

Gu Xiu has never had any unbreakable principles towards Han Mochu.

As long as this matter is what he wants to do, it must be reasonable, and it must be possible to do it.

Even if it is wrong, it is also right.

It was the fifth day of the first month of the second year of Zaisheng.

Late at night, people are quiet.

In front of the Hanyuan Hall, surrounded and protected by a group of guards, stood the king Gu Xiu, Han Taifu, and the young prince Gu Yucheng.

All the furnishings in Hanyuan Hall were emptied early in the morning, and the door panels that could easily fly out and hurt people were also dismantled.

Today, the [-]-jin bomb was rushed to work by the military supervisor day and night!The medicine was sent to the palace.

The seven hundred catties of explosives were respectively tied under the pillars supporting the four corners of the Hanyuan Hall.

During the day, Gu Xiu took Yucheng and Han Mochu to the Fengxian Hall to kowtow to the previous kings of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After all, it is also a matter of large-scale construction, so I have to tell my ancestors to know.

At night, all the explosives were finally secured.

On the four corners of the Hanyuan Hall stood the guards responsible for lighting the fire.

Han Mochu gave an order, and the guards at the four corners ignited the extended fuzes in unison.

Then there was a deafening bang.

This Hanyuan Hall, which has been through several generations of emperors, collapsed in an instant. The glass pieces on the top were shattered into powder, and the roof and wooden beams were torn apart and collapsed in all directions. The foundation was directly smashed by the collapse of the upper floor. It sank more than two feet deep, and the explosion caused a huge wave, which even affected the Xuanzheng Hall adjacent to the Hanyuan Hall. More than half of the roof tiles were blown away, and the Ming paper on the doors and windows followed. Fragmented, half of the opened and closed door was swept away.

The yellow mist brought up by the soaring heat wave made people unable to open their eyes.

Xiao Yucheng covered her ears and buried herself in Han Mochu's arms.

All the accompanying guards and eunuchs coughed and coughed again and again.

Only the two monarchs and ministers who facilitated this matter still stood in the yellow mist without changing their expressions.

***

The loud sound of the collapse of the Hanyuan Hall and the smoke and dust that came up were as clear and intense as a thunderbolt in the quiet night of winter, and the Prince Ning's Mansion, which was the closest to the palace, was affected.

The thunder-like loud noise directly awakened the elderly and light-sleeping Concubine Jin.

"Biyun, go and call You'er over, and ask him to send someone to ask what happened just now." Concubine Jin propped up half of her body, sat up with a silk quilt, and took a sip of the small plaid next to her. After rinsing out the bird's nest soup on the table, he called Bi Yun, the maid on duty at night: "I feel very flustered."

"Yes, Empress Dowager." The eldest maid Biyun took the order, and hurriedly put on her clothes and prepared to go to the main room of the palace to call Gu You.

Who would have thought that before going out, they would run into Ning Wang and his wife who hurriedly came to pay respects to Mrs. Jin in ordinary clothes.

It turned out that when the loud noise happened, Ning Wang and his wife were choosing a longevity lock for their youngest son under the lamp, and they had not gone to bed yet.

Those who were awake heard the noise more clearly than what Jin heard in his sleep.

There is no rain in Bianjing in winter, so such a loud noise is not unusual, the couple couldn't sit still, they immediately changed into their normal clothes and came to Concubine Jin's yard.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty, why are you two here?" The big court lady Bi Yun tugged at the lapels of her shoulders and bowed to the two of them.

"Aunt Biyun, I heard a loud noise just now, did the mother and concubine startle?" Gu You asked with concern.

"That's right, the empress dowager was awakened just now, and she is sending the servants to look for you, Your Highness."

"Son, are you here?" Taifei Jin also came out wearing a soft fur coat when she heard the conversation outside, "Mother and Concubine is in a panic, send someone to see what happened just now Something happened."

"Mother and concubine, don't worry, my son sounds like something coming from the palace. On the way here, he sent Baofu to ask questions outside." Gu You and his wife supported Jin's arm from left to right, with a warm voice Consolation: "Mother and concubine, let's rest first, it's already so late."

"Oh, how can I still sleep in this palace?" Jin Taifei held her chest, and although she was old, she still held her heart like Xizi: "Since the people have been sent out, you can go to the front hall with me Go and wait for the news. There is movement from the palace, your brother is still in the palace."

Seeing that Gu You couldn't be persuaded, he had no choice but to go to the front hall with his own princess and Princess Jin, and ordered his servants to cook three cups of fragrant tea, light the lamp, and the three of them stood in the front hall together waiting for the servant who sent the message to come back. .

About half an hour later, Baofu, who was sent to inquire about the news, came back with a panicked expression.

"Ms. Taifei! His Highness King Ning is not well! The person sent by the slave to ask for news is back! Say... say... say..." Baofu started running from the gate, and when he finally got to the main hall, his feet were covered by He tripped over the threshold of the main hall, and fell directly in front of Gu You, panting incoherently: "Say... say... say the palace..."

"Tell me! What are you talking about!" Gu You was in a hurry, and stretched out his hand to pull Baofu's collar: "Speak quickly! What's going on in the palace!"

Baofu raised his hand and gave himself a slap, and replied in a crying voice: "Hanyuan Palace! The Hanyuan Palace in the palace is blown up!"

"Hanyuan Hall?" Concubine Li who was standing not far away read a sentence in a daze, then glanced at her daughter-in-law Xu Jingrou who was supporting her, and suddenly beat her chest and cried out loudly: "Xiu'er!! ! My son!!!"

Before Xu Jingrou had time to react, the concubine Jin, who thought that her precious son Gu Xiu had already suffered an accident, didn't mention it in one breath, and passed out on her back.
