I just like the Prime Minister

Because of this unexpected sweetness, His Majesty the Emperor was in a trance all morning.

Taoist Master Zixu changed into a new Taoist robe, and dragged Yeluzhen onto Yeluzhen, and ran to Li Chengzuo's room to have breakfast together like a dog, but was extremely horrified to find that he, a traitor, was covering his mouth in a daze. I was stunned, and suddenly started giggling again.

The handsome and elegant prime minister looked refreshed, even though there was a mentally handicapped emperor sitting next to him, he still read the book calmly and motionlessly.

Daoist Zixu couldn't bear to look directly at him, he directly bypassed the smirking rebel, walked around to the prime minister, thought he lightly touched Jiang Xizhu's wrist, and pouted in the direction of Li Chengzuo with a distorted expression. , said in a low voice: "What's wrong with this? Bewitched by evil spirits? Do you need to read a passage of scriptures for him and play a DVD to drive away evil spirits?"

The prime minister seemed to have developed a very strong interest in that book, Daoist Xu Xu poked two fingers without lightly, and even fixed his eyes on the book. After a long time, he raised a pair of The slightly helpless phoenix eyes, as if they had just seen Taoist Master Zixu and Yeluzhen here, were obviously a little surprised.

"Here?" Jiang Xizhu said, "Breakfast is on the table, use some."

Taoist Master Zixu: "..."

What's the matter today, one or two children are wandering away?Scared out of your soul last night?

Yeluzhen, a Khitan man, was relatively simple, he just thought that Jiang Xizhu was fascinated by reading books, and he didn't know what kind of books could catch the eyes of this talented young prime minister, so he couldn't help but take a closer look.

It doesn't matter at this point, Yeluzhen also fell silent.

There is no problem with the book, it is a good book, "The Analects of Confucius", which records the words of the sage Confucius, the problem is, this book is upside down in Jiang Xizhu's hand...

What a new way of reading...Yelv really felt that he could not understand the profoundness of Central Plains culture.

Several people finished their breakfast with their own concerns, someone knocked on the door outside, Taoist Master Zixu responded very attentively, and found Xu Sanniang with a bad face outside without any surprise.

The emperor and the prime minister, who had been wandering all morning, looked at each other, and both regained the sense of running away from home, and they all became serious in unison.

Xu Sanniang was let into the room by Taoist Master Xu with a complex expression, and chose a place to sit, her eyes were a little dodgy, she clearly had something to say but she didn't know where to start.

Jiang Xizhu looked at her, threw down the book that was all for show, and said after a while, "San Niang, do you have something to say?"

Xu Sanniang is the biggest obstacle they have encountered since entering Yecheng, but also the biggest help. The identities of enemies and friends have changed twice. Now with Ji Weizhen's death, the dust should finally settle. The phoenix is ​​printed with 72 demon gods. To put it mildly, I went to a Ji Weizhen, so I might not be able to go to another Xu Sanniang.

But Jiang Xizhu felt that if she was willing to turn back, she should be beaten to death with a stick.

Xu Sanniang pursed her lips, knowing that she had no choice until now. Years of bearing the burden of humiliation was a scam. The friendship and motives of her childhood sweethearts were not pure. She chose the wrong position from the beginning. No matter from the perspective of the rivers and lakes or the court, she no longer has a foothold.

Xu Sanniang stayed up all night last night. She thought a lot about her own childhood, Ji Weizhen when she was young, her master who was so kind to her, and King Qi who was a stranger to her... Now 20 years Time flies by like a fleeting horse, and the rivers and lakes where heroes are born in large numbers cannot withstand the rush of time, but she herself is only confused.

She loves the wrong person, and she may not hate the right person—she once thought that she could live and die with Ji Weizhen, but it was not until the lie that had lasted for more than ten years was completely unveiled that she realized that, Without Ji Weizhen, it might not be as scary as she imagined.

She is not afraid of death, but she is not reconciled to what she has pursued for many years in a trance, but in the end it is a lie that is not as good as a dream.

Xu Sanniang paused, then raised her head: "Under the prison of Prince Qi's mansion, there is ore brought by Khitan. I don't know what it is. King Qi would not tell me. Ji Weizhen was vague when she was alive, but King Qi's men The 'Eight Great King Kong' was mentioned in the chat, and I overheard it—that ore can be used as a firearm, and that ore has associated mines... Monk Cao said, that thing can be used as gunpowder."

Xu Sanniang's words made Jiang Xizhu frowned.

He has known about the Wujin Mine for a long time, but he has never heard of the associated mine.

All things in nature are interdependent and restrain each other. Each ore will be accompanied by another ore, but the purity is basically very low, or it is highly toxic—for example, gold and silver ores are often associated with lead ores. Gold and silver are priceless, but too much exposure to lead ores can cause Can cause madness or death.The role of these associated ores is limited, and because of the high cost of mining, miners basically go straight to the point and don't take the associated ores seriously.

However, Wujin's associated mines obviously do not belong to this category. Not only is it not a harmful thing, but it is easy to be used by others. In the eyes of those who are interested, it is a rare weapon.

Alchemy and Taoism were prevalent in the previous dynasty. In addition to the notorious Hanshi powder, which was a disaster for the country and the people, there was another invention that can be called a genius-gunpowder.

However, although the invention of gunpowder is a genius, the process of the invention is not a genius at all-the former king of subjugation, Xihunhou, did not attend a few serious classes when he was in power. All dedicated to Xiuxian Wendao, if this person is not an emperor but a Taoist priest, he must be much more competent than a swindler like Taoist Master Zixu.

This person is very fond of alchemy, and he dares to put anything into the alchemy furnace, ranging from birds and beasts, to ashes and hair, all of which are the ingredients of pills. Tomb, took his ribs and calcined them into ashes, refining them into a medicine that blindly thought he could ascend to immortality after taking it—of course, maybe his queen was very resentful, maybe he also put some other disgusting things, used The elixir finally refined from the ashes of the dead did not achieve its expected effect. On the contrary, he died after eating it, completely ending the history of the madmen taking drugs and going crazy.

There are no purely good people and no purely bad people in this world. Even the heinous people will do two good things if they are not careful in their life.

The only good thing Donghunhou did in his life was to invent gunpowder.

——When Dong Hunhou was not taking drugs until his braids turned upside down, an accident happened during the alchemy process. He ordered the alchemist to pour his "carefully proportioned" ingredients into the alchemy furnace, and started to make alchemy beside him. During the sweet dream of "immortality", the pill furnace did not make him an elixir that looked like nothing ordinary according to his expectation, but instead exploded the house like playing mahjong.

At that time, the Marquis of Donghun was so disgraced by the bombing that he lay on the bed for more than a year before he got up and continued to make alchemy -- it can be seen that his desire to seek immortality is really sincere.

That explosion did not cut off the lifelong pursuit of Marquis Donghun, but no one dared to try this recipe again. They just recorded it to avoid repeating it. Later, it was said that this prescription was obtained by one of the famous generals under the command of Tai Yu Tai and Zu. Using this method, the mountains and rivers were blown red, and finally sent troops north to Dingdu capital.

If a person perceives the power of this thing from a very destructive thing, he will have two ideas: first, use this thing for a long time; second, resolutely not allow others to use this thing to deal with yourself.

Therefore, although gunpowder is powerful all over the world, it is a highly regulated thing in Dayu since the year when the Tai and Zu founded the country. From the formula to the raw materials, it is highly controlled by the Weapons Supervision under the Ministry of War. Privately manufactured gunpowder It is a felony, and its degree is comparable to that of spreading cold food powder.

Wujin Mine can naturally make magical weapons, but the limitations of cold weapons are still too strong for people. Of course, bare hands will suffer a lot from kitchen knives, but if it is a kitchen knife phalanx against someone holding a stick Relatively speaking, although the mob still has this advantage, it is not so obvious after all. After all, before the kitchen knife comes over, the person holding the stick still has a chance to knock the opponent unconscious with a stick.

However, they dug black gold mines, and even drew rumors from the previous court to deliberately obscure the view. They didn't have the idea of ​​forging weapons at all.

"Black Gold Mine" is not a simple metal, it complements its associated ore, and when combined into one, such an accomplished magic weapon will indeed be invincible.

Jiang Xizhu suddenly thought of Gu Xuecheng, the owner of the Phoenix Seal—the legendary man who was so wise and close to demons. He discovered the black gold mine more than a hundred years ago, but he only forged it into a magic weapon and gave it to his apprentices.Did he really not know that there was something else in the Wujin Mine?Or has he already discovered it, but he couldn't bear to fall into the wild fire again, so he deliberately sealed the huge magic soldier sleeping peacefully under the barren mountain without a sound?

Li Chengzuo's mind was no slower than Jiang Xizhu's, and he obviously wanted to understand the blindfold of the Wujin Mine-they always made him think that it was just some rotten stones that existed in legends and made people wishful thinking. Two things, metal can be used as artillery, and associated ore can be used as gunpowder. With this in hand, no matter how powerful the general is, he can't resist it with mere flesh and blood.

Li Chengzuo stood up, walked around twice in a very irritable manner, and found that his heart was filled with an evil fire that could not be suppressed.

Daoist Zixu watched Jiang Xizhu and Li Chengzuo both change their expressions, pondered hard for a moment, vaguely understood what they were worried about, and was dazzled by Li Chengzuo, but suddenly remembered something, and grabbed his hand Shameless traitor.

"Wait." He said, "Pindao remembered, just before he came here, the little girls of Prince Qi's mansion were chatting in the corridor... I heard that King Qi returned to the mansion outside the city of Ye, no accident, It will be here tomorrow."
