In the palace, Li Er walked up and down the palace floor with an anxious look.
During this period, Li Er benefited greatly from persuading Su Li to let go of the family.
Recently, he has been feeling so happy that he rarely gets a good night's sleep.
However, not long after he fell asleep tonight, he was woken up by a loud noise.
Immediately afterwards, a chamberlain came in to report that the street where Princess Changle's Mansion was located suddenly received thunder from the sky, blowing almost half of the street into rubble.
After receiving the news, Ji Er became a little anxious.
Unlike those veterans in the army, he thought of Su Li immediately.
Something that can create such a powerful force, in the entire Tang Dynasty, probably only Su Li can come up with it.
But why would he suddenly do such a thing?
Is this how you want to show your dissatisfaction to me?
The more he thought about this, the more upset Ji Er became.
Exactly half an hour later, the chamberlain came in again to report.
"Your Majesty, all the generals have discovered the reason. What happened tonight was caused by the playfulness of young prince Su Che..." the chamberlain said with a strange expression.
Playing around?
Hearing the news, even with Li Er's temperament, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"That's nonsense!" Li Er's face suddenly darkened.
Such a huge movement, which suddenly turned half the street into ruins, was it just caused by the playfulness of a three-year-old child?
Do you think I will believe this?
Admittedly, Li Er does not deny that little Su Che is indeed extremely magical.
When he was only three years old, he built a steam engine.
Moreover, pursuing Su Li directly with force and facing the assassination of the King of Death are enough countermeasures.
But these things are still within Li Er's understanding after all.
After all, Su Li himself is a person who cannot be judged by common sense. There is something magical about him giving birth to a son, which can be explained.
Li Er could imagine what Su Che had done before and could justify it.
But today's incident, and the fact that it was Su Che's joking, is somewhat rude to him as the emperor...
What kind of fun could cause such a big buzz?
But Li Er also knew in his heart that these people under his command were not willing to tell such a lie to deceive him.
Li Er took the memorial written by Li Jing from the hand of the chamberlain and scanned it with his eyes.
"It's actually true?"
After reading it, Li Er's eyes flashed with a look of extreme shock.
According to Li Jing, Su Che was making a kind of fireworks to celebrate Princess Changle's birthday.
Under the guidance of Su Li, he prepared a combustible powder.
Su Che has a naughty childlike nature, so he just wanted to try this kind of thing.
He used five water tanks, filled them with the powder, then sealed the water tanks and connected them with wires.
Then, it resulted in the current consequences.
"I personally tested the so-called gunpowder mentioned by King Yongle. If a small amount is placed in a closed space and ignited, it can blow down the city wall. This thing is magical [I think it is the palm method in Taoist legend."
Thinking of what Li Jing said in the memorial, Li Er couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation in his scalp.
As an emperor, when he sees things from myths and legends appear in reality, the feeling of powerlessness that he cannot control is particularly obvious.
**7......
Li Er let out a long sigh in his heart, and then started to think about it.
"Even Che'er can control this object. If I control such a divine object...
Thinking of this, Li Er couldn't help but shudder.
"Send the order quickly and seal it tightly. Except for the ministers who have come into contact with this matter tonight, no one else is allowed to disclose it!"
The chamberlain quickly took the order and left.
And the other side.
In the East Palace, Li Chengqian stood at the door of the main hall, looking towards the direction of the princess mansion.
A few days ago, he was ordered by Li Er to appease the various powerful officials.
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise.
The major gates have been severely repaired by Su Li, and now they are no longer as strong as before.
If they surrender to Li Er wholeheartedly, their status will plummet from now on.
From a thousand-year-old family, he directly became a dog raised by the royal family.
Although the strength has been greatly weakened, this kind of future is still absolutely intolerable for Wu Xing and Qi Wang.
The reason why the aristocratic family can be passed down for thousands of years, in the final analysis, must be attributed to their long-term vision and being good at maneuvering.
I think back then, when the Three Kingdoms were in turmoil, the three brothers of the Zhuge family served the Three Kingdoms separately, which was a kind of investment.
But today's aristocratic family no longer has the right to look down on Ji Er.
On the one hand, they flattered Li Er and accepted everything he did.
On the other hand, he made good friends with Li Chengqian and prepared to invest in the future.
Although Li Chengqian, the prince, has begun to intervene in state affairs.
But in the end, he doesn't have much real power.
With so many thousand-year-old families actively coming to curry favor, it was difficult for him to refuse.
Not to mention, in Li Chengqian's view, Li Er had some intention in asking him to handle the follow-up matters of Qi Wang, the fifth surname.
Therefore, the East Palace has been extremely busy recently with welcomes and send-offs.
Li Chengqian acted grandly and entertained people of five surnames and seven looks in the East Palace all day long.
Today, Wang Zhao, the head of the Wang family in Taiyuan, came to visit in person.
Wang Zhao spoke frankly and frankly that Su Li was vicious. If Li Er had not been kind, all these families would have been wiped out by Su Li.
However, Li Er has a close relationship with Su Li and is easily bewitched by him.
For the current plan, they can only rely on the prince.
To put it bluntly, Your Majesty, a hundred years from now, the Tang Dynasty will eventually be your prince's world.
Can you allow someone as unstable as Su Li to work for you?
Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel upset after what Wang Zhao said.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Zhao told Li Chengqian the strange things that Cui Shuzao had encountered.
Based on this, he told Li Chengqian that Su Li was a demon who mastered the magic of demons.
Wang Zhao's Lao'zi is named Wang Shao. He was the head of the Wang family in Taiyuan in the previous generation. He is usually said to be weird.
In this regard, Wang Zhao also has a family background.
After hearing what he said, Li Chengqian became even more convinced when he considered Su Li's various inhuman actions before.
Wang Zhao took the opportunity to bewitch Li Chengqian, saying that you would inherit the throne in the future, and if you want to deal with Su Li, you must have something to rely on.
Although our aristocratic family is in decline now, the sushi camel is bigger than the horse and can always help you.
The two parties hit it off immediately and reached a consensus smoothly.
After receiving the support of Qi Wang from the Five Surnames, Li Chengqian was very satisfied.
The frustration that was struck by Su Li before was completely gone, and I was so excited that I couldn't sleep.
Suddenly a bolt from the blue woke him up from his sweet dream.
Li Chengqian quickly went out to investigate.
Soon, the person who inquired about the news came back.
"How?" Li Chengqian asked.
"Back to Your Highness, people say it was a drought and thunderstorm from the sky. It was a natural disaster and there were no casualties."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian finally felt relieved.
However, I always had a vague feeling in my heart that something was wrong. .
