Three days later, the court held the Dawu Dynasty again.

In the Golden Palace.

Emperor Xiang Yanran sat coldly in the hall, with hundreds of ministers and princes, and princes standing on both sides with their hands down.

"If you have something to report, you will leave the court without anything to do!"

Cai and the eunuch held a whisk in his hand, and his sharp voice echoed in the hall.

The court officials looked at each other and fell into silence for a moment.

They all knew in their hearts that the emperor held the Dawu Dynasty again today to solve a major national affairs - what new system to adopt to select talents for the court.

This is a great battle between the Confucian faction and the nobles. Whoever wins can get the trend for the next decades.

However, at this critical moment, the thunder strike of Xuanwu Temple broke out, which fermented in the "Da Chu Mansion Newspaper" for several days, causing a lot of controversy, which had attracted the attention of the entire Great Chu Dynasty.

Xiao Hunhou was scolded by Confucian scholars and set up his stance, and he must have revenge.

They were not in a hurry to jump out of the battle before the matter was resolved.

The new Prime Minister Kong Hanyou, with a heavy expression on his face, lowered his eyebrows and eyes, and his mind was determined.

Today, no matter how Xiaohunhou attacks.

He must do his best to protect Dong Xianliang, a personal disciple, and the future pillar minister of the Confucian sect... Otherwise, even the lord and prime minister of the dignified lord cannot protect his disciples. What would other ministers view him as prime minister?

The Confucian officials were all nervous and ready to fight.

Dong Xianliang felt as if he was left to fate and completely gave up his struggle. He didn't know how Xiaohunhou would deal with him, so naturally he didn't know how to resist.

I can only take one step at a time!

In contrast, the new Censor Wang Su, whose face was rosy and looked particularly relaxed.

No matter how Xiao Hunhou fights with the Confucian faction, who will be bitten, it is a good thing for their noble faction! It will get a big advantage without spending a soldier.

Seeing that all the court officials bowed their heads, the emperor looked like he was making a speech without any reason.

I know they are all waiting for the resolution of the Xuanwu Temple incident.

Xiang Yanran could only ask Chu Tianxiu and asked: "Little Hunhou, should you explain to me about the thunder strike in Xuanwu Temple a few days ago? What big thing happened and was struck by lightning?"

Chu Tianxiu immediately stepped out and said with an innocent face:

"Your Majesty, I don't know what's going on!

During this period, Old Fairy Li was refining elixirs alone. I didn't know anything and didn't interfere. Only Old Fairy Li knew what was going on.

If he messed up, he would definitely be the blame for the failure of the alchemy. He boasted that he could refine alchemy.

If he made contributions to alchemy, he would have at least half of the contributions, and it was the opportunity for him to refine the alchemy that he had won for him.

I guess the emperor should ask about this matter today, so I brought the old immortal Li into the palace. He was waiting outside the palace, waiting for the emperor to summon him."

When the ministers in the hall heard this, they all covered their faces, looking ashamed to join forces.

Li Naturally was guilty of guilt.

He made half of his contribution.

This... it is indeed the style of a very young man. It is also unlucky for the old immortal Li Nan to meet a young man.

"Xuan Li naturally entered the palace!"

Xiang Yanran said.

The princes and court officials turned around and looked out of the hall.

But I saw that the old fairy Li Nan walked into the Golden Palace wearing a purple and golden robe with a fairy-like look on the Taoist bones.

As an old charlatan who has traveled around the world for decades, he is also a distinguished guest in the residences of princes and princes. He has seen many things, but he is not panicked in front of the emperor and the ministers.

Xiao Hunhou had already explained to him what he wanted to say and do in this Golden Palace.

"Old Fairy Li, how did you refine the immortal pill? How did you refine the elixir, but let Tianlei explode the Xuanwu Temple? Tell me a reason, let me hear it."

Emperor Xiang Yanran asked coldly.

"I bow to the Lord!"

The old fairy Li Nan knelt on the ground and bowed to the emperor, and immediately took out a wooden box from his sleeve, containing a large black pill.

Li Natural looked ecstatic and said, "Emperor, I originally wanted to refine the immortal pill for the Empress Dowager. A few days ago, I accidentally refined it into another rare treasure, "gunpowder".

Although this treasure is not an immortal pill and cannot be eaten, it is also a rare magical object that has been seen in a thousand years. Xiaodao is so worried that he presented this treasure to the emperor!

This treasure is a powerful weapon of the country. I hope the emperor will give me a great reward!"

An eunuch immediately took the big black pill from Li Natural and checked it carefully.

However, no abnormalities or dangers were found, so they were submitted to the emperor.

Emperor Xiang Yanran picked up the big black pill, sniffed a scent of sulfur, and looked puzzled, "What can this thing do?"

These Taoists always make some strange things when they practice alchemy.

King Xiang Anshi of Huainan summoned Taoists to refine the immortality pill and accidentally refined "soup milk", which made Empress Dowager Shen like it very much. She rewarded Xiang Anshi with many treasures and even allowed him to stay in Jinling City.

This is also true of Li Naturally. He could not refine the immortal pill, but he refined a strange "gunpowder".

"Uh...it's a bit complicated to explain!"

The old immortal Li Nan said quickly: "I beg the emperor and all the princes and princes to move outside the palace.

After I demonstrated it, the emperor witnessed it with his own eyes, and naturally he understood the wonderful use of this pill! If the emperor felt it was useless, I would like to atone for my sins with the head!"

"Oh, then go outside the hall to have a look."

Xiang Yanran stood up indifferently.

He wanted to see what treasure made Li Natural so confident that he would not be afraid of being punished.

snort!

If he dares to deceive him, Li will die today.

Hundreds of kings and court officials were also surprised and whispered. They followed the emperor to the outside of the Golden Palace near a huge square to watch Li Natural's demonstration.

On the square outside the hall.

Li Natural came to the square alone and took out a bottle as thick as an arm. The bottle was also filled with black gunpowder.

He personally put the big black pill into the bottle and sealed it, leaving a fuse outside.

Around the bottle, there were more than a dozen tall wooden men and Trojans.

Li Natural ignited with a fuse, ran away dozens of feet away, lying on the ground without daring to move.

"Boom~——!"

But there was a loud bang out of thin air.

The ceramic bottle exploded instantly, and flames soared into the sky, and the strong impact of the air waves and fragments knocked out more than a dozen wooden people and horses around them.

All of these wooden horses have broken arms and legs.

Even the leather armor on their bodies was pierced by ceramic fragments.

If these were real people and real horses, they would probably be either dead or injured without any warning.

“…”

"This...what spell?"

"This...is a thunderclap in the dry land!"

A hundred feet away, Emperor Xiang Yanran and the princes and court officials were all shocked by the huge rumbling sound, and were stunned.

Xiang Yanran has never seen such a terrifying thing for so many years since he was the emperor.

In the palace, the eunuchs and the imperial guards were scared to the point of being at a loss.

If Li Natural had ignited and detonated this object just now, the guards were completely unprepared for it, and the emperor would have been killed long ago.

There were even ministers who looked up at the sky in a daze.

I suspect that a thunder thunder fell from the sky.

However, the sky was clear and cloudless, without thunder.

In the square of the Golden Palace, even the ground was blown out of a shallow pit, and flames were still burning.

This is so similar to the bombardment of thunder.

"Your Majesty, this is 'gunpowder'. I accidentally discovered this thing when I was refining the elixir a few days ago.

It was the gunpowder explosion that destroyed the Xuanwu Temple a little bit.

But people from outside know that they deliberately spread some witches that confuses the public and promote the "Yin and Yang Disaster Disaster", saying that this is "natural disasters predict man-made disasters, and God is punishing me to refine immortal pills."

Bah ~!

This is completely a silly matter.
