Stunning beauty

In front of Fengtian Hall, the flames shot up to the sky, and everyone was shocked at this moment, dumbfounded.

Li Ziye quietly wiped off his cold sweat, but luckily he didn't fail in acting!

"This, this is impossible!"

On the side of the temple, the envoys shook their heads in disbelief, unable to believe the scene in front of them.

What happened, and why there was such a big fire all of a sudden.

"I waited for a long time and finally waited until today. I dreamed for a long time and finally realized my dream..."

Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Li Ziye felt very relieved, and hummed a little song!

Finally, finally elated again!

From the moment he was in the capital city, he has never been so happy. He has been hanged and beaten by Little Red Riding Hood in various ways, manipulated by the show, even pretending to be aggressive and beating a mob. head.

Today, for the first time ever, she managed to grab the limelight in front of everyone!

At this moment, Li Ziye felt like crying.

It's not easy!

"What's going on, what happened? Li family boy, please explain!"

Among the courtiers of the Great Shang Dynasty, Lu Siqing was the first to hold back his curiosity, looking at the young man in front of him who was suffering from some kind of illness, and asked anxiously.

On the dragon chair, Emperor Shang also had a curious look on his face, waiting for the answer from the boy from the Li family below.

"Actually, this copper furnace is divided into upper and lower layers. In the lower layer, I put something called lime."

Li Ziye grinned and said, "My lords, someone should have heard of it."

"lime?"

On both sides of the stone steps, all the great merchants and courtiers looked at each other, some were confused, and some showed thoughtful expressions.

"The old man has heard of it. Isn't that what alchemists use to make alchemy?"

Lu Siqing, who has lived for a long time and experienced a lot, answered, and continued to ask with some puzzlement.

"My lord doesn't know something."

Li Ziye laughed and said, "The lime is divided into quicklime and slaked lime. When quicklime meets water, it will generate a lot of heat. As long as you put cotton and dry grass on the upper layer of the copper furnace, flammable firelighters are enough to ignite the fire."

"That's not right, the explosion just now was clearly not cotton or dry pasture!" Lu Siqing noticed something was wrong and said.

"My lord is really perceptive."

Li Ziye smiled, glanced at the people in the temple not far away, and said, "I'm not worried that the friends in the temple have bad eyesight, and they can't see clearly if the flame is too small, so we don't use cotton, dry pasture, etc. , but prepared some rare things invented by alchemists called black gunpowder!"

"Black powder?"

The courtiers of the big merchants looked at each other when they heard the words, and shook their heads, which was unheard of.

On the dragon chair, the Emperor Shang became somewhat interested in the black powder mentioned by the young man below, and asked, "Boy of the Li family, does the Li family still have this black powder? I also want to see with my own eyes what it is?"

"Report to Your Majesty, it has been used up."

Li Ziye shook his head immediately, and said with a sincere smile, "The black powder has a complex formula, and some of the raw materials are very rare. Li Yuan has been preparing for the gunpowder just now for three days. Of course, if your majesty wants it, you can go back today." Afterwards, I can send people to find a way to find these raw materials again, but it may take a few days, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

After finishing speaking, Li Ziye snorted coldly in his heart, hum, this old man is very bad, there is no door for him to talk to him.

As the son of the plane, how can I not understand your thoughts?

"So that's the case, then there's no need."

The Emperor Shang frowned slightly when he heard the words. With the financial and material resources of the Li family, it took so long to prepare. It seems that it is impossible to manufacture this black powder in large quantities.

such a pity!

"My friends in the temple, I'm willing to admit defeat. In fact, I am a big businessman with a lot of land and resources, and I don't lack two or three so-called treasures in the temple. .”

In the middle of the stone steps, after Li Ziye had dealt with Emperor Shang, he turned around and looked at the people in the temple who looked as ugly as if they had eaten flies. He didn't forget to sprinkle salt on his wounds, and then taunted him.

Anyway, he has already offended the temple, so he is not afraid to offend him more thoroughly, at least, he is happy first!

On the side of the temple, at this moment, the envoys of the temple were fluctuating with anger, and their faces became more and more angry. If this was not the Dashang Palace, someone might have rushed up.

This kid is really too arrogant!

"Boy of the Li family, etiquette, you must understand etiquette."

Among the courtiers, the veteran Lu Siqing laughed loudly, not knowing whether it was a reminder or to stimulate everyone in the temple, he deliberately raised his voice and said.

"The old man taught me the lesson."

Li Ziye saluted respectfully, grinned and said, "I'm just a country man, I don't read much, and I really don't know much about etiquette. They also disdain to answer because of their status, and I, a country reckless man who doesn't know a lot of characters, have no chance to come to the palace. I hope your Majesty and all adults will forgive me for my disrespect."

After finishing speaking, Li Ziye bowed to Emperor Shang and the courtiers on both sides, and said with a guilty face.

"you!"

On the side of the temple, an envoy stretched out his fingers, trembling with anger, his chest heaved, and he was about to lose his breath.

"puff!"

Finally, under the attack of anger, the messenger's chest felt tight, a mouthful of blood spewed out, and he staggered and fell down.

In the middle of the stone steps, Li Ziye was startled when he saw this.

Spitting up blood?

Is he so powerful? He is Qigong!

Subconsciously, Li Ziye looked at Yan Xiaoyu in front of the envoys of the temple.

Or, he worked hard, trying to make this one vomit blood?

In front of all the envoys in the temple, Yan Xiaoyu noticed the gaze of the young man in front of him, and the murderous intent in his eyes kept flickering.

Very good, this kid really angered him, this is the first time in all these years that he wanted to kill someone so much!

Behind Li Ziye, Bai Wangyu sensed Yan Xiaoyu's murderous intent, stepped forward, his expression turned cold, and expressed his attitude very directly.

If you want to touch him, you have to ask me!

Seeing this, Li Ziye was moved. Little Red Riding Hood was the best for him. Just now, he almost gave up.

With the support of Little Red Riding Hood, Li Ziye's back straightened up immediately, and he stared at Yan Xiaoyu without any fear, his eyes full of provocation.

come here!

"Crack!"

Yan Xiaoyu clenched his hands on the ground and there was a crackling sound, and Shenzang roared in his chest, and he almost couldn't help it.

On the dragon chair, Emperor Shang looked at the scene below and sat there quietly, showing no intention of stopping.

If the god son of Tianyu Palace dared to do something in front of Fengtian Palace, he would not mind leaving this person here completely.

Broken the arm of that scholar, presumably, that scholar will also be very heartbroken.

In front of Fengtian Hall, the atmosphere gradually became dignified. Everyone held their breath and watched the development of the matter.

"let's go!"

For a long time, Yan Xiaoyu forcibly swallowed a sigh of relief, bowed his hands to the Emperor Shang on the Fengtian Temple, and immediately turned away with all the envoys of the temple.

On both sides of the stone steps, all the ministers breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

To be honest, they were also afraid that the son of the God of Mandate would do something. After all, this was the emperor, and no one could afford to frighten the holy driver.

However, on the stone steps, a look of regret flashed in Emperor Shang's eyes, what a pity!

It seems that Yan Xiaoyu is not a reckless person.

In front of the Xuanwu Gate, Yan Xiaoyu led the envoys of the temple to pass by. On both sides, Zhang Sloppy and Qin Grace stood quietly. One smelled of alcohol and grinned stupidly. The same, even somewhat suffocating oppressive force of everyone in the temple.

The fairy sword in the world, dare to draw the sword to the sky, fearless, this is the sword fairy.

They dare to say, just now, if they attack in front of Fengtian Palace, these two sword immortals will kill them all.

Under the watchful eyes of the two sword fairies, the people in the Tianyu Hall left the palace in a hurry, and in front of the Fengtian Hall, the attention of the officials of the Great Merchant returned to the young man in the middle.

At this moment, all the ministers showed kind smiles on their faces.

Today, this kid can be regarded as their face!

"Li Ziye, today, you have made great contributions to my business, what reward do you want?"

On the dragon chair, Shang Huang looked at the young man below, with a smile on his face, and said.

"Your Majesty, I want water and fire beads."

Li Ziye saluted respectfully and said directly.

At the end of the sentence, both the Emperor Shang and the courtiers of the Great Shang were stunned.

No, do you want to be so direct?

In the past, even if a courtier made great contributions, he would make excuses, saying that serving the imperial court was something that should be done and that no rewards were needed.

It was the first time for someone like the Li family's son-in-law to ask for a reward directly.

On the dragon chair, Emperor Shang recovered from his astonishment, and asked curiously, "Why water and fire beads?"

"Because water and fire beads are the most expensive."

Li Ziye said bluntly, "Your Majesty knows that the Li family is a family of merchants, and I don't know anything else, but I still know what is valuable."

"Vulgar, vulgar, haha!"

Among the ministers, Lu Siqing laughed loudly and said, "Boy of the Li family, you are the most vulgar person my old man has ever seen!"

"Boss, boy, I was just a layman."

Li Ziye turned around and clasped his fists in salute, smiling.

In front of Fengtian Hall, Shang Huang heard the words and smiled lightly. Originally, he was still hesitating about what reward he would give to the son of the Li family. After all, this time, this kid has made a lot of contributions.

If only gold and silver things are rewarded, people in the world will definitely say that the imperial court is petty and does not recognize great talents.

If he is appointed as an official, the Li family will take this opportunity to step into the ranks of a prominent family from a family of merchants in one fell swoop, which is the last thing he wants to see.

Now, the boy from the Li family offered to ask for water and fire beads as a reward, which really eliminated a big worry in his heart.

"allow!"

Thinking of this, the Emperor Shang did not hesitate, and directly issued an order, "In addition, the son of the Li family has made great contributions to the country. His talents and morals can be regarded as a model for the subjects of the great merchants to learn from, and he will be awarded the title of national scholar."

As soon as the words fell, all the officials present were shocked.

National scholar!

This is not a small reward. Although it has no rank or real power, it is the dream of many scholars who have worked hard all their lives.

Although this kid has made great contributions, he is too young after all.

It seems a bit abrupt to be named a national scholar.

Could it be that His Majesty wants to take this opportunity to express his attitude to the talented people in the world, as long as he is willing to do things for the imperial court and has outstanding talents, the imperial court will reuse and reward them regardless of pattern!

"Countryman?"

At the bottom of the stone steps, Li Ziye didn't care what the emperor and the officials thought, but quietly winked at Little Red Riding Hood and asked, is it worth it?

It is worthless!

Bai Wangyu decisively returned his gaze, meaning that the Taixue Palace swept a large area of ​​this stuff.
