Summon the Mythical Emperor of the World

Chapter 41: Fireworks? gunpowder?

   "Your Majesty, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is asking for you outside the hall."

   said respectfully, the attendant eunuch.

   Li Si sat on the throne of the dragon chair and nodded slightly.

   "Announce!"

   The Book of Rites entered the hall: "I have seen your Majesty."

   "What's the matter?"

   "Your Majesty, Korea sent another delegation to my Datang to donate jewellery and property, and to express my loyalty to my Datang..."

  Speaking of this, a trace of doubt appeared on his face.

   It stands to reason that Korea has already sent a mission, so there is absolutely no need to come again...

   And, the value of the precious jewelry property...

   "Goryeo?"

   Li looked at the Book of Rites: "How much did they contribute this time?"

   "Return to Your Majesty, more than five times the contribution over the years..."

   The Book of the Ritual Department paused for a moment, and continued: "In addition to jewelry, the King of Goryeo also sent his little daughter here, with the intention of marrying me with the Tang Dynasty to create a nation of friendship forever..."

   Li Si fell into deep thought upon hearing this.

   It seems that King Goryeo was really scared.

   Even his little daughter was sent out.

   But Li Si changed his mind, it was normal.

   The King of Korea has no choice.

   In a projectile place like Goryeo, the emergence of a **** and demon is already the limit, and it is impossible for a second one to be born in a short time.

   and lose the gods and demons realm strong to suppress.

   What qualifications does Korea have to resist Datang?

   In this case, surrender is the only option.

   "I see."

   Li Si waved his hand.

  Shangshu of the Ministry of Ritual saw the emperor not expressing anything, and couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty, the daughter of King Goryeo, what should I do?"

   Li Si frowned: "What do you think should be done?"

   "The King of Goryeo means that he hopes his daughter will serve His Majesty..."

   Shang Shu of the Ministry of Etiquette bowed and said, "According to the precedent, your majesty should include Princess Koryo in the harem..."

   "This matter will be discussed later!"

   Li Si thought for a moment, but did not immediately agree.

   For the emperors of the past dynasties, the matter of accepting a concubine is very simple, but Li Si is not in a hurry for the time being.

   "Follow the purpose!"

   "Nachen placed Princess Koryo in the Koryo Pavilion."

   Said the Book of Recipe.

   Goryeo Kingdom is a palace specially built by the Tang Dynasty for the dependent countries. The maids and guards in it are all from Goryeo. The emperors of the Tang Dynasty have many marriages with foreign princesses. The Goryeo Pavilion is the place where the Goryeo princesses live.

   "That Weichen will leave first!"

   Libu Shangshu got up and left.

   Li Si began to deal with the memorial again.

   suddenly.

   A crisp sound faintly spread into Li Si's ears.

"this is?"

   Li Si was slightly taken aback.

   "Come on!"

   Li Si's voice just fell.

   approached the **** and walked in: "Your Majesty, the servant is here!"

   Li Si slowly stood up and said, "I heard the sound just now, but do I know what it is?"

   "Return to your Majesty, it should be the fireworks set off by the people of Chang'an!"

   approached the **** respectfully.

   Li Si repeated in a low voice: "Fireworks?"

   "That's right!" The **** the attendant whispered, "Tomorrow is the Spring Festival, and the people will set off fireworks to pray for the Tang Dynasty at this time..."

   "If your Majesty wants to see it, you can go to the Star Observatory."

   "Standing on the star-gazing tower, you can see the entire Chang'an City, and all the beautiful scenery can be seen in full view."

   "Take me to the Star Observatory!"

   "Follow the purpose!"

   Li Si boarded the star-gazing building.

   suddenly!

   Under the star screen, the fireworks are blooming, so beautiful!

   Li Si stood on the star-gazing pavilion, quietly watching this beautiful scenery.

   "Fireworks?"

   Li Si murmured in a low voice.

   "Send the order, let the Ministry of Industry Shangshu come over!"

   Li Si said suddenly.

   "Follow the purpose!"

   Although the **** near the **** didn't know, at this time, why the emperor wanted to see the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, but the emperor's orders were always executed without asking why.

   Shang Shu was watching the fireworks in Chang'an City with his family. Hearing the emperor's order, he immediately put on court clothes and rushed to the Star Observatory.

   "I have seen your Majesty."

   The Ministry of Industry Shangshu is uneasy.

   Generally speaking, when the emperor sees his courtiers, either Taiji Hall or Changsheng Hall.

   But the star-gazing building...

   This is the first time that the Ministry of Industry Shangshu has come...

   "It's okay, don't be nervous."

   Li Si waved his hand and said, "Do you think Changan is beautiful now?"

  Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry bowed and said: "Shangyuan Festival, the sky full of fireworks, naturally beautiful!"

   Li Si was noncommittal: "What do you think of the fireworks?"

   Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry looked at the emperor carefully: "Your Majesty, fireworks are widely used among ordinary people, mainly for blessing..."

   "I didn't ask you about the role of fireworks!"

   "I asked about the fireworks itself!"

   "What do you think of fireworks?"

   Li Si interrupted directly.

  Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry broke out in a cold sweat: "The minister... the minister does not know..."

   Seeing this, Li Si sighed softly: "Then I will tell my thoughts directly."

   "Your Majesty, please speak."

   Li Si turned his head and looked at the sky full of fireworks: "If fireworks are used in the military, what will be the effect?"

   "Military?"

   "Fireworks?"

   The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry was unbelievable. He never expected that His Majesty would associate these two completely different things together.

   "Your Majesty, the essence of fireworks is just a ball of fire, which can't even hurt a few-year-old children. How can it be used in the military?"

   Gongbu Shangshu said bitterly.

   Although he knew that to refute his Majesty face to face, it was very likely that he would ruin his political career, but he definitely could not let the emperor mess around with the military.

   "A ball of fire?"

   Li Si turned his head and looked at Shang Shu of the Ministry of Industry, "What if the number of fireworks is increased?"

   "One-stone fireworks, ten-stone fireworks? Hundred-stone fireworks? Thousand-stone fireworks? Ten-stone fireworks?"

   "So many fireworks are released together, is it still a ball of fire?"

   Li Si said ~www.ltnovel.com~Stone' is the unit of measurement in Datang.

   Generally speaking, one stone is equal to one hundred catties.

   "One-stone fireworks, ten-stone fireworks? Hundred-stone fireworks? Thousand-stone fireworks? Ten-stone fireworks?"

   Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry was stunned on the spot.

   He never dreamed of this problem.

   "Return to your Majesty!"

   "If so many fireworks were really brought together, it would naturally not be a ball of fire!"

   There was a strong shock on the face of Shang Shu of the Ministry of Industry.

  If your majesty's idea can be established, the impact on the military field of Datang will definitely be unprecedented! !

   "Your Majesty, the minister knows what to do!"

   "After the minister returns, immediately start studying this aspect!"

   Gongbu Shangshu took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart!

   "Go down!"

   "This matter is my Datang top secret. Apart from you, I don't want a third person to know about it!"

   "The minister abides by the decree!" The Ministry of Industry Shangshu said with a solemn expression.

   "I will ask the Ministry of Household to take one million taels of silver for your research."

   "I hope you don't let me down..."

   Li Si looked at the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, with a profound meaning.

   Shang Shu of the Ministry of Industry turned pale, and immediately bowed and said: "The minister will definitely not let your majesty down."

   "Okay, go down!"

   After Shang Shu of the Ministry of Industry left, Li Si still stood on the star-gazing building.

   Li Si does not know the specific method of making gunpowder, nor does he need to know.

   For the emperor, he only needs to provide a general idea and let his people study it.

  If things are done, the emperor will naturally reward them!

  If things are not done well, the emperor will naturally punish!
