Hou Junji flattered him and said: "Your Majesty, although Du He is full of tricks and everyone is afraid of him, in front of your Majesty, he is just a young boy. This time, he will definitely be helpless."
Li Er nodded: "Haozhi, you are right. I just want to make him speechless. Otherwise, he will say that I bully him as an emperor. I can even imagine Du He's hardships."
It doesn’t matter if he is dissatisfied, is it possible that he can blow up my Tai Chi Palace?”
As he said this, both the emperor and his ministers laughed.
Immediately, he heard messy footsteps in the distance.
Zhao Yang hurried to the pavilion, gasped for air, and said: "Your Majesty, something bad is going to happen, something is going to go wrong!"
Li Er said unhappily: "Zhao Yang, I have told you many times not to panic when something happens. I was playing chess with Haozhi, and the wonderful move that I just thought of was interrupted by you in such a panic.
What crime do you deserve?"
Zhao Yang quickly lowered his head: "Slave, you deserve death... But, Your Majesty, the uncle of Huyi County not only did not leave, but also made a huge rocket at the entrance of Taiji Hall, saying that after it was lit, it would be blown up for several miles.
Not even a blade of grass can grow, Your Majesty..."
Wow.
Li Er threw the black chips in his hand on the table, stood up, and rushed towards the Tai Chi Hall like a little whirlwind.
Hou Junji saw it and rushed out quickly.
Zhao Yang said in confusion: "Didn't I just say that you shouldn't panic when something happens?" Then he quickly chased after him.
Li Er and Hou Junji quickly arrived at the entrance of Tai Chi Hall, and saw the super rocket made by Du He from a distance.
Hou Junji turned pale with fright and said: "This...this...isn't it all filled with gunpowder?"
Everyone is well aware of the power of explosive packets.
And the huge thing called a rocket in front of me is much more powerful than an explosive pack.
Li Er hurriedly stepped forward and said angrily: "Du He, what are you doing?"
Du He raised his head, stood up, and suddenly said in surprise: "Oh, Your Majesty, didn't you go out of the palace to observe the people's sentiments?"
"this……"
Li Eryi was speechless for a moment.
He had just been thinking about stopping Du He from blowing up his Tai Chi Palace, and had completely forgotten about this incident.
Hou Junji hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Du He's sleeve: "Du He, you can't act recklessly. If you blow up this Tai Chi Palace, you will be punished with death. Even if your father comes, he won't be able to protect you."
Du He suddenly laughed: "It's too late!"
"What's too late?"
Du He pointed at the bottom of the rocket.
Whisper quickly.
Whisper quickly.
I saw that the fuse at the bottom of the rocket was already burning, and bursts of green smoke were rising.
Li Er and Hou Junji's expressions suddenly changed.
Immediately, they saw the two of them running wildly regardless of their appearance.
Hou Junji ran and shouted: "Protect Your Majesty, protect Your Majesty!"
When the surrounding Imperial Guards heard this, they saw Li Er and Hou Junji running like crazy, and then hurriedly caught up with them.
The two ran wildly, but did not hear any movement from behind. So they turned around and saw Du He standing calmly on the spot, not even moving a step.
Li Er and Hou Junji were both dumbfounded, and then stopped.
at this time--
boom.
A burst of fire suddenly appeared from the bottom of the rocket.
Then, the huge rocket rushed into the sky, reaching a height of seven or eight feet in the sky before falling, hitting the ground, and falling apart.
When Li Er thought that he had just been scared by Du He and ran away, he became furious.
I saw him leading everyone back to the gate of Tai Chi Hall and saying angrily: "You are so bold, Du He, you dare to tease me. This crime cannot be forgiven. Someone comes and takes him down."
Du He hurriedly stepped forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, you are destroying the donkey and killing the donkey, crossing the river and destroying the bridge, and killing Zhongliang. I want to appeal!"
Li Er was very angry: "Huh, you are still Zhongliang? You want to blow up my palace, but you are still Zhongliang?"
Du He said: "Your Majesty, misunderstandings are all misunderstandings... This is not an explosive pack, this is a rocket. It is a rocket that I worked tirelessly and spent ten days and ten nights to invent. This thing does not explode and can fly. Just now
Your Majesty and Mr. Hou both saw it, it could fly to a height of seven or eight feet, and there was no explosion."
Li Er and Hou Junji heard this, and it seemed to make sense.
Li Er then asked: "What is the use of this... rocket?"
Du Hebian explained: "Your Majesty, this rocket is very useful. It can transport things. This is just my first attempt. It can reach a height of seven or eight feet. In the future, when the technology is mature, it will not be a problem to fly dozens of miles."
Li Er and others were stunned.
Fly dozens of miles?
Just this crap?
If you are caught, you will be regarded as a liar.
But everyone believed what Du He said.
After all, before Du He, no one would have thought that there were explosive packs, cannons and other things. Du He made them all by himself.
So, Li Er waved his hand to tell the imperial guards to retreat, and then brought Du He into the imperial study.
In the imperial study room, only three people, Li Er, Du He, and Hou Junji, were left.
Li Er then said: "Du He, now that I have seen your invention, it is indeed extraordinary. I will definitely reward you well."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Du He said.
Then Li Er said: "Haozhi and I still want to discuss the war in the west, so you should go back first."
"No," Du He stood up hurriedly, "Your Majesty, I have two things to do when I enter the palace this time. One is to dedicate the rocket invention to Your Majesty, and the other is to return the thirty-seven points that Your Majesty promised that day.
remember?"
"I...why don't I remember this?"
Du He thought to himself, the old guy is so shameless.
He chuckled and said, "In that case, I guess I remembered it wrong. Your Majesty takes leave."
With that said, Du He turned around and left without hesitation.
Li Er was puzzled.
This guy gave up so quickly?
But seeing that Du He had already stepped out of the imperial study room, he said casually: "I heard that the Zhang family was just exiled this morning. I guess they haven't left Chang'an City very far yet!"
"return!"
Li Er shouted and called Du He back.
Du He turned around and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, is there anything else?"
Li Er waved his hand: "I suddenly thought of something I discussed with you before."
Du He turned around and came back.
Half an hour later, Du He left the imperial study room with satisfaction.
This time, he got two thousand acres of land outside Yanxing Gate in Chang'an City. Although it did not reach 30% of Zhang Shigui's family property, Du He didn't care anymore. What he wanted now was land.
After Du He left, Li Er looked at the stunned Hou Junji and asked: "Haozhi, I actually compromised with Du He, isn't it very shameful?"
Hou Junji hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is mighty, your Majesty is wise and mighty!"
