Datang: Showdown, your father and I are Li Shimin

Chapter 76
"Why do you slander our innocence? Your Majesty, please make the decision for us!"

"Your Majesty is in good health now, are you cursing His Majesty!"

……

The more the alchemists talked, the more excited they became, and the more they talked, the more excited they were, and they almost came up to beat someone.

Li Ze's words are undoubtedly accusing them of poisoning His Majesty. This is a crime of beheading, and it is basically equivalent to destroying their jobs. As the saying goes, ruining a person's wealth is like killing his parents. How can these people not be excited? .

However, Meng Shen and Sun Simiao didn't say a word. During this period of time, they have already seen that Li Ze's medical skills are much better than theirs, and there may indeed be many problems in it.

Seeing that the crowd was noisy, Li Er glared at them, and the alchemists standing behind Li Ze quickly shut up.

"What they said makes sense. Isn't I living a good life now? Doctor Li, what's the matter with you, just tell me directly."

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Li Ze said, "Emperor Ai of Jin Dynasty Sima Pi died four years after he ascended the throne. It can be seen that these poisonous pills will not kill people immediately like arsenic, but will take effect slowly. Some toxins have already accumulated, especially the elixir with this lead white added, it is very serious."

"I also hope that your majesty will never come into contact with such elixirs in the future. I will regulate alchemists in the future. It is best not to use such highly poisonous substances as medicine. Moreover, gunpowder was originally created for the refining of elixirs, so the dangerous substances that can explode are also It can be used as medicine, doesn't Your Majesty find it absurd?"

Li Er was horrified when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Meng Shen and some of the alchemists who had refined elixir for him: "Tell me quickly, have you ever given these things to me?" I have served!"

Meng Shen suddenly fell to his knees in fright, and the rest of them also fell to their knees in fright.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead suddenly, and Meng Shen quickly explained: "Returning to your majesty, although the elixir refined by my minister has added this substance, it is strictly in accordance with the ancient records, and there is no excess. Your Majesty's atonement ah!"

But the rest of the alchemists did not say what Meng Shen did. They pointed directly at Li Ze, who had his back to them, and said, "Your Majesty, this man is deceiving people with his evil words, and he has committed a heinous crime. Your Majesty must not believe his rhetoric. I will undoubtedly murder Your Majesty." !"

"Your Majesty, I also followed the ancient records, Your Majesty redeemed..."

While talking, he kowtowed again and again, frightened and at a loss.

Li Er had a gloomy face, his eyes full of doubt and disbelief.

And Li Ze was also very surprised. Li Er started eating these things in his 30s?
Didn't later generations say that Li Er started taking it in his later years?

"Master Li, gunpowder really came from alchemy?" Li Er couldn't believe it, and slowly raised his head with a stiff neck.

At this time, Li Er's expression was very ugly, his gloomy face seemed to be dripping with rain, and he looked very scary.

Li Ze raised his head and glanced at Li Er, and suddenly felt a chill on his back. He looked at the alchemists behind him who were full of murderous intentions towards him, and Li Ze decided to deter these alchemists and Li Er. When making gunpowder, these guys made a mistake and blew themselves up, which was a waste of all their efforts.

"Why don't you let the minister directly refine the gunpowder and demonstrate it to His Majesty?" Li Ze said, and his attendants arrived with a bundle of dried bamboo.

Li Er nodded and started to get busy. He used the alchemy furnace to smolder bamboo to make charcoal, and then ground the sulfur and saltpeter into powder, mixed the three with water according to the proportion, and then put them all in the alchemy furnace to stir fry and mix.

Li Ze sealed the alchemy furnace, and as the temperature rose, the water vapor in the mixture evaporated, and Li Ze led everyone back away at full speed.

The pill furnace was burned red, igniting the mixture in it.

Only a sound of "Boom!" was heard, and the hard bronze alchemy furnace exploded immediately, copper pieces flew horizontally, and the flames shot into the sky.

Li Ze brought Li Er, the imperial doctor and others to lie down on the ground with their heads down, but the loud noise still made Li Ze, who was mentally prepared, shrink back in fright.

This thing is much more powerful than the grenades of later generations. After all, the quantity is large enough, almost half of the gunpowder of the pill furnace is filled.

The blown copper pieces whizzed past Li Ze and the others' heads, and hit the ground behind them.

The grass on the ground where the alchemy furnace used to be was blown away, leaving only a piece of white smoke and the legs of the alchemy furnace that had been sunk into the soil.

Li Er, a group of imperial doctors, and a few guards shrunk their necks subconsciously. After feeling the terrifying power, everyone's palms were sweating, their hearts were beating violently, and their bodies were covered in cold sweat. The whole body is twitching.

Fortunately, Du Ruhui was not there, otherwise he would have fainted from fright again.

"This... this thing is a pill? Wouldn't it explode in my stomach after eating this?" Li Er looked at the big cloud of white smoke slowly rising with lingering fear, and turned his head to look at the white smoke in astonishment. Li Ze.

Li Er's eyes widened, and Li Er, who had been on the battlefield, felt unprecedented fear.

Once such things are used in war, wouldn't even a million troops be razed to the ground?
Not to mention the lethality, just such a loud noise is enough to wipe out the entire morale of the enemy army!

However, the other alchemists were even more terrified, trembling in astonishment, when they realized it, they turned their heads and knelt down directly to Li Er: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty atones for your sins! I really made it according to the ancient recipe." The elixir that I bought was definitely not intended to murder His Majesty!"

One of the alchemists hurriedly kowtowed and apologized, his expression panicked.

This young man actually played this hand.

Not to mention the destruction of the alchemy stove, this time, Li Er will not trust them at all.

The rest of the alchemists kowtowed like pounding garlic, talking about atonement.

But even so, the horror and fear in Li Er's eyes were gradually changing.

The gradually gloomy face seemed to drip black water, his eyes full of murderous intent turned to the imperial doctors, the murderous intent in his eyes almost rushed towards the alchemists like a tidal wave.

The moment Li Ze felt the terrifying murderous intent, his heart palpitated.

Is this the aura of the ancients?Is this the coercion of the emperor?
It's terrible, how can a normal person have such an aura!
Li Ze looked at Li Er, at this moment Li Er was like a lion with a bloody mouth roaring silently at all the alchemists, the bloody smell in his mouth was still lingering in everyone's nostrils.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. As long as you adjust it reasonably, and don't take such pills lightly from now on, these small amounts of toxins accumulated in the future will not cause too much harm to Your Majesty." Li Ze saw that Li Eryi was about to take these Everyone looked like they were being hacked to death and quickly explained to Li Er.

After all, taking a small amount of heavy metals does not necessarily kill a person.

Hearing his son say this, Li Er's face finally eased a lot, so he raised his hand coldly: "Get up!"

A group of imperial doctors who had their heads on the ground slowly raised their heads, saw Li Er's still gloomy face, which had not completely subsided from his anger, and quickly kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After saying that, he hurriedly lowered his head and got up from the ground.

After standing up, he still lowered his head like a child who has done something wrong, not daring to look directly at Li Er and Li Ze.

Seeing that Li Er's killing intent was gradually dissipating, Li Ze quickly cupped his hands and comforted him, "Your Majesty, you don't have to be afraid of pills. As Dr. Sun said, pills are made from hard-to-swallow herbs that are ground into powder and mixed with honey syrup to improve the taste. The pills that you take, and some of them contain heavy metal substances, as long as the highly toxic minerals are reasonably controlled and will not be added to the pill."

"In the future, Weichen will list some highly toxic minerals that are strictly prohibited from being added in the elixir, and hand them over to the medical supervisors of the Imperial Medical Office to strictly control these highly toxic minerals, so that such things will not happen again. For these alchemists, I have the courage to lead them to atone for their crimes and make meritorious deeds for His Majesty's development of gunpowder, what do you think, Your Majesty?"
