"Your Highness, there is no need to worry too much."
Looking at Li Chengqian whose face turned gray in an instant, Changsun Wuji comforted him.
"Just tell His Majesty the truth. Everyone makes mistakes, and I believe Your Majesty will not blame you too much for this matter."
What he said is true. This world is inherently unfair.
If Li Ke and Li Chengqian had exchanged positions, they would probably have been demoted to common people and exiled to the border areas by now.
But there are no what-ifs in this world, and things like the emperor breaking the law and the common people being equally guilty will only appear in fairy tales.
"Uncle, I understand."
Li Chengqian lowered his head, and no one could see his expression clearly.
But looking at his look, Changsun Wuji knew that he probably didn't listen to what he said.
At the moment, he could only shake his head and say nothing more.
The words are not speculative, and there is nothing to say.
Changsun Wuji said goodbye, and Li Chengqian didn't send him off again.
…
At the same time, on the other side, Prince Wu’s Mansion.
[Congratulations to the host for changing his destiny. He received 500 points and a copy of "The History of the Development of Black Powder". 】
Damn it!
Li Ke exclaimed, the system was finally generous and gave him a good thing.
He also knew something about black powder.
But the results have also been seen. According to the formula in Li Ke's memory, what was produced can only be called an incendiary bomb at best.
Although these things played a relatively important role in the war against the Turks.
But Li Ke knew very well that there was still a long way to go before it could be used on a real battlefield.
When he was in Hexi, he also saw the corpses of those Turks.
Only a small proportion of those were burned to death by incendiary bombs.
Most of them lost their combat effectiveness under the high temperature and were hacked to death by Tang Jun's weapons.
When the two sides fight, it only takes a moment to decide the outcome.
A general like Huo Qubing could struggle for a long time after being hit by an incendiary bomb.
During this period of time, he can still kill effectively and even pass the flames on his body to others.
Moreover, the incendiary bombs made by local methods are extremely unstable and very inconvenient to store.
Once it encounters high temperature and vibration, it is easy to explode.
When the enemy has nothing to do but hurts his own people first, that will be bad.
Li Ke took a cursory glance at the book sent by the system and was generally very satisfied.
This book records the process from the creation of black gunpowder until it gradually emerged from the historical stage in the 19th century. The recipes and usage methods are described in great detail.
After the industrial revolution, the development of strong ships and cannons was too fast, and black powder had no place to use.
Li Ke didn't expect the system to come up with something very high-tech for him, not to mention how it should be explained at that time, considering the current productivity.
Those guns and cannons can't be made either.
As far as the current situation is concerned, this book is the most down-to-earth and the most helpful to him.
After carefully saving the book, Li Ke opened the system interface and prepared to start the exciting lottery.
500 points, another 10 in a row, I don’t know what good things I can get.
Li Ke asked the system as if he remembered something.
"Can I add what I need to the prize pool?"
There was silence for more than ten seconds, and just when he was about to give up, the system rang.
"Ask the host to find out the needs, and the system will analyze and judge intelligently."
The system's emotionless voice sounded.
“I want to add winemaking to the prize pool.”
"Host requirement detected, system is making judgment..."
"Judgment the result, consume 200 points, and add modern brewing methods to the prize pool. Do you accept it?"
"……accept."
Li Ke was a little helpless, but still chose to agree.
10 consecutive points only cost 500 points at a time, and adding to the prize pool only costs 200 points. It is not necessarily guaranteed to be drawn, and it is indeed a bit expensive.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. Who makes him need it?
"The host consumes 200 points and adds modern brewing methods to the prize pool. The current balance is: 300."
After consuming the points, Li Ke no longer had enough points to win 10 consecutive points.
Although he could try his luck in a single draw, Li Ke gave up the idea after thinking hard.
It’s not like I don’t know how bad my luck is.
Rather than risking your luck, it is better to wait for a guarantee, so that the party will never lose money.
…
In the Tai Chi Hall.
"I asked you to investigate some time ago. Do you have any results now?"
Li Shimin asked calmly.
"Back to Your Majesty, I did have some clues before, but halfway through the investigation, the clue... was broken."
Chen Han, the leader of Baiqisi, said hesitantly.
"broken?"
Li Shimin's face was very ugly.
"Didn't you tell me that as long as everything in the world has ever existed, you can find out?"
"Please punish me, Your Majesty."
Chen Han didn't explain anything, he just knelt down more respectfully.
"Bring me the booklet and let me see it."
Seeing his reaction, Li Shimin seemed to understand something.
After a long time, he dropped the folder, slapped it on the table and said.
"You bastard, is it possible that he is in the East Palace and only studies these casual things all day long?"
Chen Han didn't dare to answer.
He said before that the investigation could no longer be continued, not because there were no clues.
But because at the end of the research, all the evidence pointed to Donggong.
As the leader of Baiqisi, Chen Han knew clearly.
What happened in the East Palace was His Majesty's fault.
So he didn't choose to point it out, but let Li Shimin see it with his own eyes.
After seeing all the evidence, there were some things that Li Shimin understood without her having to say anything.
"Prince..."
Li Shimin lost his temper and then collapsed on the throne.
"Tell me, am I an unqualified father?"
"I'm not married yet, so I really don't know."
Chen Han scratched his head and said.
"I know that your Majesty is wise and mighty, and the weather is smooth in the hall. All nations come to court, and the people of the Tang Dynasty also think of your Majesty."
The method of changing the topic is very clumsy, just like someone asking you if the bread tastes good, but you reply that the moonlight is beautiful tonight.
But this is indeed the most perfect answer for Chen Han.
People in Baiqisi don't need to be smart, because all decisions come from His Majesty.
If he could perform Tai Chi smoothly like Changsun Wuji, then his situation would be dangerous.
Sometimes, not knowing how to act stupid is the real stupidity.
"Okay, you go down."
Li Shimin waved his hand gently, noncommittal to his answer.
Chen Han understood and bowed to leave.
His Majesty did not ask for further investigation, which means that the matter is over here. For most people, this is the best result.
"correct."
As if he remembered something, Li Shimin suddenly called him.
"Tell Wang Meng to call Li Ke. I have something to say to him."
"yes."
