Chapter 2682 Started the third round of persuasion and the shocking explosion
At Fangqiu in the north, at about the same time, Zhao Kun and a group of elite guards began to work, copying big hammers, iron drills and other tools.
Since the entire top of the dome was made of thick bluestone slabs, Cheng Chubi was not stupid enough to smash all the bluestone slabs.
Instead, after breaking out the gap, they used tools to lift up the bluestone slabs, then began to dig holes in the soil below, and then buried explosives inside.
Cheng Chubi planned to use most of the nitroglycerin explosives on the entire round hill.
Try your best to turn the dome into a huge ruin that will never be restored in a short period of time.
Even the courtyard on the side will not be left, and it will definitely be burned to the ground.
But today, since there are enough dynamite tubes, we just use dynamite to blow it up, which will make it faster.
Excavation is quite time-consuming, but the people who come here are all rough men with great strength, and there are no weaklings like Li Ke who have no power to make trouble.
In less than an hour, enough space to bury explosives was dug out on the dome.
In the following time, sticks of nitroglycerin dynamite were carefully placed in place, then covered with soil, and the places where stone slabs should be covered were continued to be covered.
After all, the destructive power caused by open blasting will be much smaller.
Cheng Chubi and Zhao Kun each led a team and were working diligently. At this moment, the morning court had officially begun.
As it had been decided early on that today would be the third time to persuade people to move in, for this reason, all the officials who could move and stay stunned, all headed towards the palace.
However, since a large number of officials were imprisoned in prison, the number would not appear to be too thin.
Changsun Wuji, Zheng Yuanshou and others had to lower the requirements for the rank of officials entering the Zhenguan Hall.
As a rule, only officials of fifth rank or above are eligible to enter the palace, but now, in order to let people see the huge crowds of people supporting Li Zhi as emperor.
Quietly, the qualifications for entering the palace were directly lowered to the seventh rank, as for those miscellaneous fish below the seventh rank.
Naturally, we can only stay outside the hall and gather our heads together. When the three calls are heard, we also roar a few times in cooperation.
After such a series of operations, it seemed that the inside and outside of Zhenguan Hall was extremely lively.
As for the seven vassal envoys, they were squeezed into the crowd with some anxiety at this moment.
Fortunately, the Honglu Temple officials in front of them stood side by side with them, which finally gave them some sense of security.
The official envoy of the Japanese state and the young minister of the administrative department, Yoshihiro Omaro, held something in his hand tightly.
It was naturally a form of congratulation that would be used to approve and congratulate His Highness the King of Jin on becoming the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
As long as the photo of His Highness the King of Jin can be flattered to a high degree and be novel, Yoshishi Yumaro felt that the new emperor would definitely be able to satisfy the Japanese country's wish to change the country's name.
As the shouts rang out and the noise gradually stopped, Jin Prince Li Zhi, dressed in brand new princely robes, appeared.
Under the guidance of the eunuchs around him, he slowly came to the bottom of the royal eucalyptus again, first leading the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
He bowed respectfully in the direction of the royal eucalyptus, then turned around and continued to perform his duty of supervising the prince.

Changsun Wuji was at the top of the list of civil servants. After all, he was His Majesty, oh no... he should be the auxiliary minister appointed by the late emperor.
After so many days of repeated entanglements and psychological struggles, at this moment, Changsun Wuji had left all the psychological burden behind.
After all, things have come to this point. Is it possible that we can still step back and reach a brighter future?
Instead of continuing to hesitate, it would be more satisfying to walk straight to the dark side.
Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but tilt his head slightly and his eyes fell on the good nephew Li Zhi.
At this moment, Jin Wang Li Zhi also didn't look very calm. He looked very nervous as he sat there, looking around uneasily.
But when he saw the look from his uncle Changsun Wuji, he quickly sat upright and smiled flatteringly at Changsun Wuji.
Seeing this scene, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. No matter what, Li Zhi, the nephew, was more obedient and sensible than Li Chengqian and Li Tai.
The important thing is that compared to them, Li Zhi lacks foundation even more.
Li Zhi also knew very well that compared with those aristocratic families, only his uncle was the only one who sincerely did his best.
Li Zhi, the nephew, also secretly complained to himself about what those aristocratic families had done these days.
Regarding this, Changsun Wuji was of course good at comforting him, after all, whether it was himself or those aristocratic families.
They all need an emperor who is indecisive and very easy to control.
Only by relying on these aristocratic families could Jin King Li Zhi be promoted to the position of emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
In this way, we can eliminate the possibility of Li Chengqian ascending the throne as emperor one day and settling accounts with his queen.
Nowadays, the aristocratic families have obvious advantages in the court. Their complacency and domineering attitude have also caused Li Zhi to suffer a lot of grievances.
It is a good thing to make Li Zhi fall more and more towards him, and after Li Zhi is confirmed as emperor.
Relying on the prestige and status of being the number one hero of Lingyan Pavilion and having interacted with the senior officials around His Majesty for many years, he can definitely gain the support of most of the senior officials.
With the low voice of reminder, Changsun Wuji finally woke up from his endless reverie.
He cleared his throat, glanced at the minister of civil and military affairs in the imperial court with a calm look, and then turned around and gave a solemn salute to the king of Jin, Li Zhi.
As a representative of civil and military officials, the third round of persuasion began...

"Seat No. 1 is ready!"
"Seat number two is ready!"
"Position three is ready!"
"Position 4 is ready!"
Cheng Chubi saw the arms raised to indicate, took a deep breath, and then made a gesture.
Then all the Cheng family members and the imperial guards retreated, got on their horses, and rode off into the distance.
At this moment, the only three people left here are Cheng Sanlang, Cheng Fa and Cheng Da.
Cheng Chubi blew the incense in his hand, glanced around, and then lit the fuse with the incense.
After seeing the only fuse head being ignited, green smoke was rising slowly and steadily towards the distance.
After a short effort, it was divided into four, and the moment the four puffs of green smoke slowly rose, Cheng Chubi immediately turned around and took the reins handed over by Cheng Fa.
He quickly got on his horse and galloped away into the distance. Cheng Fa and Cheng Da also galloped towards the high slope not far away.
After galloping for almost two miles and reaching the high slope, Cheng Chubi breathed a sigh of relief, turned over and jumped off his horse, looking up at the round hill in the distance.
He was still counting silently in his mind, estimating the approximate time of detonation.
At this moment, I suddenly felt that the originally peaceful and tranquil dome suddenly shone with a dazzling white light.
Swirling around, it felt as if there were several giant aerial bombs falling from the sky, and a very exaggerated mushroom-shaped cloud suddenly appeared...
