Li Zhi had never seen with his own eyes what the so-called firecrackers were. Li Sujie just described it, and Li Zhi got carried away.
He was too eager for military victory. Li Zhi could not help but be excited about anything that was conducive to the expansion of the Tang Dynasty's territory and victory.
This is Li Zhi’s obsession.
He has always lived in the shadow of Li Shimin, and the people of the world will unconsciously compare him with his father. In comparison, Li Zhi is indeed somewhat inferior.
During the Zhenguan years, the Tang Dynasty was established. There were too many enemies around for the Tang Dynasty to conquer, and too much land needed to be taken over by the Tang soldiers. Therefore, during the Wude and Zhenguan years, the Tang Dynasty used troops to fight many times.
Until Li Zhi ascended the throne, not only had the predecessors fought almost all the battles they had to fight, but more importantly, the world had been impoverished due to military wars for many years, and the people could no longer hold on. Li Zhi was not allowed to issue policies to recuperate and recuperate. The people took a breather.
But in his heart, his father Li Shimin's great achievements were a hurdle that he could never overcome.
It's not that he insists on comparing, but the subjects of the world are comparing.
The new emperor is very soft, not as tough as his father.
This new emperor is gentle and gentle. He is really different from those who have been on the battlefield and those who have not been on the battlefield. He is not like the late Emperor Taizong...
The new emperor has not fought many battles since he came to the throne, and all his knives were directed at his own people. Even his own uncle was killed...
If you hear too much gossip, obsession will arise from your heart.
He wanted to surpass his father, he wanted to create a greater achievement than his father, and he wanted to hold his head high when offering sacrifices to the late emperor in the Ancestral Temple, with a clear face.
Years ago, in the battle against Tiele, Xue Rengui fixed Tianshan with three arrows, which saved Li Zhi's face. The reputation of the Tang Dynasty King once again shocked the neighboring countries.
But it's not enough, far from it.
Li Zhi needs greater victory and needs to expand more territory!
Only when the territory exceeds that of his father's reign, will his image in the eyes of the people in the world improve slightly. When they talk about him behind his back, they will no longer say that he is inferior to the late emperor in every way.
Then, at this time, Li Qinzai invented gunpowder.
Just like when Li Zhi planned to revise "Chronicles of Clan" and hit the family members, Li Qinzai just happened to compile "Hundred Family Surnames".
When he was planning to conquer Tiele in the north, Li Qinzai happened to invent the divine arm bow.
Just when he was planning to make a fortune, Li Qinzai invented toilet paper.
The last one sounds a little weird...
In short, the timing was perfect, as if Li Qinzai had developed a new product specially with his mind in mind.
It's strange to invent new objects, and what's even more strange is that Li Qinzai can follow his wishes and find the right opportunity to invent new objects every time, which is very pleasing.
I don’t know what others think, but Li Zhi is very happy anyway, and at the same time, Li Zhi has become more and more firm in his guess about Li Qinzai.
This son must be a disciple of the Mohist family, possessing unparalleled talents and learning.
Writing beautiful articles and immortal poems is considered talent in the eyes of emperors, but it is only talent that adds to a prosperous age.
Li Qinzai's unique knowledge was truly valued by the emperor. He would give the emperor whatever he needed.
After being born with meritorious services in three dynasties, he has no ambitions for officialdom and power. Deliberately avoiding the intrigues and fights in the court, and not getting involved in state affairs and the emperor's family affairs, he lived in the countryside like a hermit.
How could Li Zhi not like such a talent?
"Wang Changfu, please quickly send the forbidden fast horse and call Li Qinzai back to Chang'an to report." Li Zhi immediately ordered.
"Wait a minute!" Empress Wu suddenly stopped Wang Changfu, turned to Li Zhi and said: "Your Majesty, I think that the emperor should be a courteous corporal and should be courteous to the talents of the world in order to gain loyalty."
Li Zhi was startled: "The queen means..."
Empress Wu smiled sweetly: "Your Majesty should go see Li Jingchu in person and see with your own eyes whether the new object he created is as powerful as he said."
"The emperor deigned to condescend and come in person, which is even more solemn and favoring for Li Jingchu. This son has great talents, and he should be treated with courtesy."
After Li Zhi pondered, he glanced at Empress Wu approvingly.
This woman's mind is more generous and ambitious than that of Ang Zang's man. She is obviously a girl, but there are great rivers running in her heart.
This may be her charm. Li Zhi ignored the ridicule and opposition of his subjects and appointed the woman who had served his father as his queen. In addition to love, her character and view of the world were also one of the reasons.
"According to the Queen's words, I will always be blessed, prepare carriages and horses, and have simple ceremonial guards. I will go to Ganjing Village in person. Haha, I have been coveting the delicacies cooked by Jingchu himself for a long time, and I can feast on them." Li Zhi said cheerfully. laughed.
Empress Wu smiled sweetly, her eyes quickly glanced at the two princes Li Sujie and Li Xian, and she was slightly disappointed with Li Xian.
The princes could not help but make comparisons. It was obviously something they had seen with their own eyes at the same time. Li Sujie paid attention to it and immediately thought of whether it could be used in the military. He also specifically asked Li Qinzai not to leak the secret recipe.
Li Xian, on the other hand, just heard a sound and nothing more happened.
Comparing the two cars, you can tell the difference immediately.
How could Empress Wu not be disappointed when her biological legitimate son was not as good as her concubine.
Especially since this concubine was the son of an enemy, Empress Wu became increasingly dissatisfied.
Li Zhi is very efficient in doing things, and he really just leaves at the drop of a hat.
In the middle of the family banquet, Li Zhi took the lead to leave the banquet, without even asking about the two princes' studies, preparing to leave the palace in a carriage.
After Empress Wu and the two princes sent Li Zhi off respectfully, they returned to Chengxiang Hall and found that the family dinner was a little less flavorful.
Queen Wu sighed secretly and put down the jade chopsticks.
The two princes also wisely stood up and left.
After Li Xian saluted, he ran away happily. He hadn't returned to the palace for a long time. He missed the cats and birds in the palace and couldn't wait to go back to see them.
Li Sujie stood outside the palace gate, maintaining a bowed posture, waiting for Empress Wu to go first.
Empress Wu looked helplessly at Li Xian's excited back, then at Li Sujie who was saluting respectfully, and sighed again, feeling quite complicated.
When passing by Li Sujie, Empress Wu stopped, looked sideways at him, and whispered: "You don't have to be so careful. Things between the elders will not affect the younger ones."
"Besides, just because you are now Li Jingchu's disciple, I will never do anything to you, as long as you don't be stupid."
After saying these words, Queen Wu left gracefully.
Li Sujie stood there, looking dazed for a moment, then suddenly her knees went weak, and she knelt on the ground with tears streaming down her face, and finally she couldn't help but howl.
As soon as she cried, Li Sujie immediately stopped her voice, bit her lip, and let her tears flow, but she never made a sound again.
The knife that had been hanging over his head for several years was finally taken back.
Because of the sentence "Just because you are Li Jingchu's disciple".
The outside of the hall was empty. Li Sujie was still kneeling on the ground, crying and murmuring: "Li Jingchu's disciple, I am...Mr. Li's disciple!"
