Happy Little Scholar

Chapter 272: The National Treasure

Seeing the palace wall turn into rubble before his eyes, Chang De finally realized the true power of heaven's punishment. His tattered clothes were instantly wet with sweat. 』

No one thought that the power of heaven's punishment would be so terrifying. Her Royal Highness was not exaggerating at all. It would destroy the world and destroy the world. This was really destroying the world!

Just now, he even felt the ground beneath his feet shake.

When he thought that he actually wanted to experiment in the palace just now, cold sweat broke out on his forehead again.

If he had really done that just now, it would have definitely resulted in the destruction of the palace and the death of everyone. Even if something went wrong with His Majesty, even if Changde died ten thousand times, it would not be enough!

For a moment, Changde was filled with deep gratitude to Her Royal Highness the Princess.

At this time, dozens of guards in armor had surrounded the place, and several eunuch-looking men in gray appeared beside Emperor Jing, looking at everything around them vigilantly.

Emperor Jing gasped for a while, his breathing gradually became steady, and his face was still a little flushed. He waved away the guard who was supporting him, drove away the panting imperial doctor who came over, and strode towards the direction of the collapse of the palace wall.

Looking at the gray-black land and the rubble all over the ground, Emperor Jing was silent for a long time and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Haha, what a heavenly punishment, what a heavenly punishment! With this divine object, it will be enough to keep our Jingguo stable for decades!"

A small black clay pot has such power that even the solid palace walls cannot withstand the power of divine punishment. It is conceivable that if several dozen or even dozens of them are powerful at the same time, it can really be called the destruction of heaven and earth. Under the power of God, no matter how strong the city wall is, it will be destroyed as easily as tofu.

Jingguo has been weak for a long time, and there are powerful enemies watching. He has worked hard over the years to manage a big country into the current situation. He finally found a moment of stability, but the pain and suffering in these years have become more and more serious. When he followed the late emperor and When he went there, the stability and peace of Jingguo was disrupted.

For this reason, he often had trouble sleeping and eating. However, the appearance of such important weapons of the country was like a ray of light in the darkness, making him seem to see unlimited hope.

With Jingguo's current national strength, he does not seek to open up territory or expand his territory, but using this thing as a deterrent, I am afraid that no one will dare to take advantage of Jingguo again.

"This old slave congratulates Your Majesty and congratulates me, Jingguo!"

Changde had served Emperor Jing for decades, so how could he not know what he was thinking in his heart? A smile appeared on his wrinkled old face, he knelt on one knee and spoke loudly.

Wow!

The surrounding guards also knelt down immediately. Although they didn't know what happened, their eyes were still clear, and the neat and loud voice spread far away, resounding throughout the palace.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to me, Jingguo!"

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to me, Jingguo!"

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to me, Jingguo!"

"Mingzhu said in the letter that in addition to being used as a weapon to break the city, it is also a valuable treasure for killing enemies on the battlefield. The broken fragments of the earthen jar are actually embedded in the wall. If it is used on the battlefield, I am afraid that the place where it is located will immediately be destroyed. It will become a purgatory on earth." In the palace, Emperor Jing looked at the pots on the table, with a look of satisfaction on his face, and nodded.

"Father, these are just for testing. The real "God's Punishment", in order to increase the power, will mix iron nails and iron pieces into it. Once it explodes, there will be almost no survivors within three feet." Li Mingzhu pointed. said the crock on the table.

Chang De took a breath of cold air when he heard this.

Even broken earthen jars can be embedded in the wall. What kind of power is that? If you change the iron...

If it was the "Heavenly Punishment" that he ignited just now, as the princess said, I'm afraid he would have been beaten into a sieve by now, right?

Personal force is nothing compared to the might of God.

After Emperor Jing was stunned for a moment, the smile on his face became even wider. He said a few good words in succession, and a stern look suddenly appeared in his eyes, "Qi Country, Qi Country, the New Year is approaching, and I plan to give you a big gift. I hope You will like..."

He seemed to have seen the scene of Qi soldiers fleeing in embarrassment in front of the heavenly punishment. He felt that the long-standing depression in his heart was swept away. He turned to look at Li Mingzhu and asked: "How much does this cost? "

Li Mingzhu said respectfully: "Back to my father, this thing is simple to make, the materials used are cheap, and the cost is extremely low."

Heaven's punishment is so powerful that no matter how expensive it is, Emperor Jing will not give up. Now that he heard that this thing was cheap, he was very happy. After thinking about it, he looked at her and asked: "Who made this thing? Who made this thing?" Where are you now?"

A trace of hesitation flashed across Li Mingzhu's face, and soon disappeared, and she said: "The person who created Heaven's Punishment was an actor named Shen Liang from Qing'an Prefecture. His ancestors were all pyrotechnics makers, and he accidentally discovered the "God's Punishment" "After Erchen learned about the formula, he immediately took him under control and has now brought it to Kyoto. People from the Princess Mansion also participated in the production of these "Heavenly Punishments", but only Shen Liang and Erchen know the core formula."

Emperor Jing breathed a long sigh of relief, and the last trace of worry in his heart disappeared.

"Then Shen Liang, let him be responsible for supervising the creation of "Heaven Punishment" from now on. No contact with outsiders is allowed. I will send people to set aside a place outside the city specifically for the development of Heaven Punishment. In addition, I will send fifty craftsmen, led by one I will be escorted by thousands of Imperial Guards to the war zone. I want to see who is more powerful, Qi State’s soldiers, or our Jing State’s Heavenly Power!”

Emperor Jing issued several orders in succession. When he turned around and saw the tired look on his daughter's face, he said softly: "You have worked hard on this journey. Go back and rest first. I will leave the rest to my father."

"Father, this is the formula of Heaven's Punishment." Li Mingzhu nodded. She was indeed tired after running all the way. After offering the formula of gunpowder, she slowly left the palace.

Emperor Jing took the formula and looked at it for a long time, then picked up a pottery jar and carefully examined it in his hand.

Feeling the tyranny and terror of this thing personally, Chang De wanted to stay away from this palace. Seeing the emperor pick up the "Heaven's Punishment", he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Jing waved his hand, interrupted what he was about to say, and put the pottery jar back to its original place.

"Sure enough, you are worthy of being the person I like, Li Yi, Li Yi, I am really curious, how much blessing can you bring to my Jing country?" Emperor Jing spoke slowly. If Li Mingzhu were here, he would definitely be shocked by his words at this moment.

Changde pondered for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the matter of heaven's punishment is extraordinary. Do you want to..."

Emperor Jing waved his hand and said, "No need. Mingzhu will not make a mistake, and I will not make a mistake. Since there is already a Shen Liang, there will definitely be a second and a third..., pass down the order, strictly order the sale of saltpeter and sulfur, and order the government to purchase them uniformly..."

After an order was issued, someone behind him immediately responded and walked out of the palace.

"Mingzhu has never lied to me. This is the first time. You are more capable than I thought..." Thinking of the young man who talked to him in the garden of the palace, a strange smile appeared on Emperor Jing's face: "How should I reward you for presenting such a national treasure..., forget it, the end of the year is approaching, let you have some free time..."

After muttering to himself for a few words, Emperor Jing gave several more orders.
