As soon as these words came out, everyone understood.

Gunpowder has advantages, but this advantage can only be used once.

"No, no, no!" Prince Zhao suddenly said: "Does it mean that gunpowder can only be buried on the ground?"

Although he was asking Cao Bin rhetorically, he was looking at Emperor Wu.

Since Li Zhao was able to apply the tools of mountain quarrying to war and military affairs, there is no reason why Li Zhao couldn't think of other ideas.

Or is it that gunpowder can only be buried on the ground?

Emperor Wu looked at his uncle with a smile and said with a smile: "Gunpowder doesn't just have to be buried on the ground."

"Um?"

"Zhao'er said that the uses of gunpowder are changing. He provided an idea that everyone can learn from." Emperor Wu said with a smile: "For example, use a trebuchet to light the gunpowder and wait until it is almost burned out before throwing it out." go out."

"This method is not bad!"

"But the effect may not be very good."

The generals all gave very objective evaluations.

"But what if a lot of broken iron slag and iron pieces are added to the gunpowder bag?" Emperor Wu asked again.

Prince Zhao: "..."

Cao Bin: "..."

General Li: "..."

Even the left and right servants couldn't help but tremble.

How vicious.

The power of gunpowder should not be underestimated. If this kind of destructive move comes again, no one can withstand it.

"If this is really the layout, then our victory will be increased by at least 30%." Cao Bin said happily.

Emperor Wu added: "As for the other uses that still need to be developed by you, Zhao'er is right. You can't rely on him for everything. After all, he is not the one going to fight."

Everyone looked weird, but they thought it was reasonable.

Of course, Li Zhao also has his own little thoughts.

He is not really stupid enough to completely hand over his wealth and life into the hands of others.

As for handing over the gunpowder, he only made a show of it.

At least the Emperor Wu and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty should feel that he has no selfish motives and is not interested in that position.

Regarding the development of gunpowder, he wouldn't be so stupid as to reveal everything now.

Things like the good birds hiding in the air and the cunning rabbit dying and being cooked by lackeys may happen at any time.

In doing so, he was extremely benevolent and righteous.

What Li Zhao said also made Emperor Wu mentally prepared and gave the generals room to perform.

When Li Zhao eats meat, he has to let others drink soup.

If it really develops a new use, it can be regarded as a great achievement.

Will this meritorious military general be grateful to Li Zhao when the time comes?

It must be possible!

Li Zhao currently has a lot of achievements, so he naturally looks down upon them, but by leaving them to these military generals, he can naturally maximize his benefits.

"In that case, let's do this!" Emperor Wu said, "Prince Zhao stays."

The rest of the people left immediately, knowing that these two people must have private matters.

It was probably the marriage between Youwang Li Zhao and Princess Zhao Jingru.

It is said that the two are getting married at the end of the year, but it seems impossible for Li Zhao to come back.

First, the situation in the court does not allow Li Zhao to return to Kyoto, otherwise there will be too many uncertain factors.

Second, the people in the court don't want Li Zhao to come back. He is a prince who will be crowned as soon as he goes there. Even if he gets married, he should get married in Jiaozhou, not in Kyoto.

Third, Li Zhao is the key to the great cause of unification. If Li Zhao really wants to prepare to get married, he will waste at least three months. This time is too precious.

Prince Zhao waited until everyone had left, then looked at Emperor Wu and said, "Your Majesty? What are your orders?"

When Emperor Wu saw that everyone was gone, he didn't put on any airs. Instead, he asked as if making a routine: "Is your daughter back?"

"No!" Prince Zhao shook his head, frowned slightly, and was a little dissatisfied.

Emperor Wu came down and ordered the wine and food to be served, intending to chat with Prince Zhao while eating.

"Now that Zhao'er is being watched by people from all sides, it is unlikely that he will come back." Emperor Wu raised his wine glass and said, "I heard that he has been very busy recently and even his sleeping time has been shortened..."

Prince Zhao was so thoughtful that he felt happy when he heard Emperor Wu's words.

Although his attitude towards Li Zhao has changed, he doesn't really like Li Zhao.

He wished that his precious daughter could not get married, or marry into a better family.

But he also knew very well that the Zhao family needed to marry into the royal family.

You Wang Li Zhao was indeed in trouble before, but now he can be regarded as a prodigal son, and he has done decent things.

Given time, something will definitely be achieved.

For such a candidate, being a son-in-law is actually not a bad choice.

"Then what your Majesty means..." Although Prince Zhao was secretly happy in his heart, he did not dare to show it on his face.

Although he and Emperor Wu had been friends since childhood, and the relationship between the two was brother-in-law and brother-in-law, Prince Zhao would never really go beyond that. If he did, he would be seeking death.

Since ancient times, the king's heart has been unpredictable. The reason why Prince Zhao's palace is still favored today is because he understands his status clearly.

"How about we let them get married next year?" Emperor Wu took the initiative to say that he actually wanted Li Zhao to get married as soon as possible.

At least, having Prince Zhao's family escort Li Zhao is equivalent to pulling Li Zhao into the military camp.

At that time, if Li Zhao is really going to be killed by the wealthy family, the wealthy family will also have to weigh the consequences.

A king always cares about balance.

The more Li Zhao contributed to the court, the more people he offended.

No one touches him now, but there's no guarantee they won't in the future!

"This..." Prince Zhao deliberately looked embarrassed and thought over and over again: "Just follow His Majesty's wishes. My daughter happens to be there too. It is said that she has come into contact with Prince You. This may not be a bad thing."

If Prince Zhao knew about his eldest daughter and his youngest daughter's confused relationship with Li Zhao, he would not say such things, and he might overturn the table on the spot.

As a daughter slave, Prince Zhao can do one-for-one exchanges to the extreme.

He has never cared much about his sons, and the two sisters who care most are Zhao Jingru and Zhao Jingyun.

Of course, the main reason is that Zhao Cheng, the eldest son of Prince Zhao, is really not up to par. Prince Zhao has given up on his son and wants to practice a trumpet.

"That's very good!" Emperor Wu said quickly: "It's just that this will make your Zhao family suffer some injustice."

Postponing the engagement will have little impact on the royal family.

But in this era, it is women who are often criticized.

Everyone is tempted to speculate, is the woman not good enough, is her moral character unworthy, etc.?

"Please save me!" Prince Zhao said immediately.

The two of them had wine and food and chatted about some household matters before they dispersed.

Emperor Wu stood at the door, looking at the huge Kyoto, the light in his eyes flickering.

His hand gently rubbed the stone pillar.

Can he really unify the continent in his lifetime?

If it could really be done, such achievements would be enough to achieve Zen status.

"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince wishes to see you!"

"Huh?" Emperor Wu looked at the little eunuch in surprise and said, "What is he here for?"

"I don't know!"

"Bring it in!"

"yes!"

Soon, the Sixth Prince arrived at the Tai Chi Hall.

"My son, I pay my respects to my father!"

The sixth prince Li Yu knelt down respectfully.

Emperor Wu stared at the six sons and said, "What do you want?"
