Chapter 2673 Is it possible, really want to release Cheng Saburo to burn the palace?
"Brother Chu Bi, I will save you as my little brother. Can you please be a human being..."
Li Ke secretly squeezed out such a whisper through his teeth. Cheng Chubi chuckled and glanced at this good brother who stabbed him in both sides.
"Haha, okay, I just want to tease you and scare you."
This kid is simply the standard template for a person who is addicted to food, has poor skills, and is sent to your door to be punished by himself. No wonder who comes.
Li Shimin didn't pay attention to the two demonic moths who were flirting with each other at the moment. Instead, he was weighing the pros and cons. It was impossible to burn the ancestral temple, and even if the palace was set on fire, it was impossible to kill the ancestral temple.
After all, it is tantamount to burning one's own ancestors. I am afraid even the coffin boards of all ancestors can't suppress it. Such a coquettish operation is too rebellious.
However, the round and square mounds that offer sacrifices to heaven and earth... although they are slightly disrespectful to heaven and earth, it will definitely not sound good if it is spread out.
This kid's tricks were hurtful to both others and himself, but Li Shimin had to admit it.
If you go to these two places, it should be the cheapest option at the moment.
If the sacrifices to heaven and earth are not completed, it will lead to the enthronement ceremony being incomplete and incomplete, and then there will be no way to complete the enthronement process.
After thinking for a long time, Li Shimin raised his head and spoke seriously to Cheng Sanlang.
"My dear son-in-law, both round and square hills are made of bricks and stones. They cannot be ignited. They can only be dug.
However, if you want to destroy those square hills and round hills that are nearly an acre wide, it will require a lot of manpower and material resources, and it will definitely take a long time..."
Seeing that his father-in-law had indeed chosen the strategy with the lowest cost, Cheng Chubi said without hesitation.
"My father-in-law is absolutely right. However, my son-in-law is not prepared to use tools to dig out square and round mounds. After all, that would require too much manpower and material resources. My son-in-law is considering using gunpowder directly."
"..." Li Ke watched helplessly as his own father, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was seriously and seriously discussing with the demon brother Chu Bi.
How can we destroy the place where the Tang Dynasty worships heaven and earth in the shortest time?
There is a strong sense of dissonance, which makes people feel that something is wrong.
"Gunpowder..." Li Shimin's eyes lit up and his spirit suddenly lifted.
Sure enough, as the top master of gunpowder weapons in the Tang Dynasty, this boy could think of using such a powerful and destructive weapon to deal with the square and round hills that were made of masonry.
But soon, Li Shimin's expression fell again. "This... I'm a little worried that it's too late."
"Because of confidentiality issues, the Firearms Inspector is still in Chang'an and has not yet been transferred to Luoyang."
"If you want to go get it, even if you have to send a horse to go there immediately, after arriving in Chang'an, go to Luoyang, I'm afraid it will have to come back and forth..."
Li Shimin's words caused the cabin to fall into a dead silence again, and Li Ke couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Indeed, it is a full eight hundred miles from Luoyang to Chang'an, and it will still take a certain amount of time to reach Maojin Ferry, until a large amount of gunpowder is transported from Chang'an to Luoyang.
Maybe at that time they will only be used to make fireworks robes to celebrate the new emperor's enthronement.
Cheng Chubi also took a breath with toothache, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty. As an expert on gunpowder weapons in the Tang Dynasty, he didn't pay attention to this big issue.
Well now, I have an S-level talent for using gunpowder weapons, but no gunpowder weapons to use. This is simply a crime.
Li Ke, who had been thinking hard for a long time, suddenly had an idea, tugged on Cheng Sanlang's lapel, pointed at Cheng Sanlang's waist and said.
"By the way, Brother Chubi, I remember, don't you have some private goods?"
"..." Li Shimin subconsciously lowered his head and looked at Cheng Sanlang's waist.
Also, this beloved son-in-law has a habit of not carrying three or five special square bamboo whips in his pocket, and he feels incomplete even when he goes out.
"Private goods..." Cheng Chubi heard this and consciously reached out to touch the waist, then glared at Li Ke with some displeasure.
"Your Highness, do you think that with these few treasures around my waist, I can blow up those masonry structures with an area of nearly an acre?"
"...Brother Chu Bi, don't you have something to hide in your house?"
At this moment, Li Shimin could only look at his beloved son-in-law eagerly, hoping that he would have as many private goods as possible, and it would be best if he could hide three to five hundred kilograms of black powder in the house.
Facing the gazes of Li Shimin and his son, Cheng Chubi touched his nose, gritted his teeth and revealed an amount that was less than one-third of the actual inventory.
"Here, there are at most one, two or thirty of these treasures in the house. Really, my son-in-law would never dare to deceive His Majesty."
After all, these gadgets are all made of square bamboo from the father-in-law's palace. If the father-in-law knows the truth, who can guarantee that he will not take revenge on his honest and honest young talent afterwards?
"Ah, this...doesn't this mean that there is nothing we can do..." Li Ke couldn't help but look frustrated and let out a long sigh.
Li Shimin also had a sullen face, pulled back his thick beard, and didn't say a word. Is it possible that he really wanted to release Cheng Sanlang and burn the palace? The ancestral temple must never be burned. That would be a great disservice to his ancestors.
#####
Just as the cabin fell into an awkward silence, Cheng Chubi looked at his father-in-law with a gloomy expression.
Looking at the fat-bellied Wu King Li Ke next to him with a depressed look on his face, Cheng Chubi also had a toothache.
He could not do this even if he was beaten to death by burning his father-in-law's ancestral temple. After all, he would definitely not be able to get rid of his claws when settling accounts after the fall.
If the fire in the Royal Palace is not controlled well and the entire Ziwei Palace is burned down, we can't let the old Li family move the capital back to Chang'an in disgrace and continue to be the horse racing emperor and the food emperor, right?
Cheng Chubi couldn't help but began to ponder. It was not impossible to make black powder now, but it would be too difficult to collect enough black powder to destroy both the square hill and the round hill in a short time.
Quite a bit.
After all, it was Cheng Chubi who personally guided and participated in the construction of Fangqiu and Yuanqiu, as the order of Luoyang, in charge of the construction of the new capital.
A large number of new concrete structures have been used. If you want to destroy them, you don't have enough black powder, unless...
"Hey... I have it." Cheng Chubi suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, his eyes lit up, and he shouted excitedly.
Facing the puzzled looks of Li Shimin and his son, Cheng Chubi pursed his lips and showed an excited smile.
"My father-in-law, although there is no black powder, my son-in-law suddenly thought of a treasure that is even more powerful."
"You have? Where are you?" Li Shimin looked at Cheng Sanlang with a face full of astonishment. What on earth did this boy do without telling him?
He squinted his eyes and looked at his biological son Li Ke. Li Ke's scalp immediately went numb and he hurriedly said to Cheng Sanlang.
"Brother Chu Bi, when did you do it? How come I didn't get the slightest hint of it?"
"That's because those good treasures are medicines, used to treat illnesses and save lives, not for fun."
