Gao Buyi smiled and nodded, then led Shangguan Pei Hui to Zichen Hall: "How are you, Hui'er? How many people have you contacted?"
"Including my Mo sect, there are only nineteen people in total. The others are too old or too young to be reused."
"Talent is withering. We must make good use of these people. Hui'er, tell me about the situation of these nineteen people."
"yes!--"
As he went up to the official Pei Hui, he introduced Gao Buyi carefully. Finally, Gao Buyi arranged for them to enter the six divisions based on their specialties, and five of them were ready to be assigned to Pei Longwei.
Just as he was about to enter the Zichen Palace, Gao Buyi suddenly stopped, pointed to a smoky palace dozens of feet away, and asked, "Hui'er, what's going on over there? There's been smoke coming out for no reason these days. Yet?"
"Your Majesty, there is the Alchemy Palace, where a highly respected Taoist priest is refining elixirs for you."
"What!?" After hearing Shangguan Pei Hui's words, Gao Buyi's eyes bulged. Where did this bastard come from? He dared to defraud him of money. He immediately became furious: "Yan Wu! Where is Yan Wu?"
After Ge Shuhan and Li Sheng went to Jiangnan to take up their posts, Yan Wu took over Li Sheng's position as the rearguard leader. When he heard Gao Buyi calling him, Yan Wu immediately ran over. Before he could salute, Gao Buyi pointed at the Dan Palace and said : "You immediately bring people and arrest the old man in that house. Everything inside is smashed and thrown away. Damn it! The liar actually deceived me. This time I will let you know how many eyes Lord Ma has." .”
After Yan Wu received the order, he immediately led the imperial army and raided the Alchemy Palace.
However, Shangguan Pei Hui was a little confused, because alchemy was very popular throughout the Tang Dynasty. Many princes had their own alchemists, and the alchemist of the Alchemy Palace was hired by the court at a large price.
After a burst of crackling noise, the Alchemy Hall stopped smoking instantly, and everything inside was cleared away. An old Taoist priest and four young Taoist priests were also escorted by the imperial army to kneel at the entrance of the hall.
Gao Buyi stepped forward, pointed at the old Taoist priest and said: "Which Taoist temple are you from? How dare you come here to cheat if you don't practice well! You didn't recruit from the real people." Gao Buyi's villain appearance is no different from the old man bullying the long-term worker. .
The old Taoist priest was frightened by this sudden emperor's anger. Didn't you ask me to refine the elixir for you?
The old Taoist priest said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the old Taoist is here to refine the elixir for you."
"Fart!" Gao Buyi took a small jade bottle from Yan Wu's hand, poured out a few red pills and said, "This thing is so red, there must be a lot of cinnabar in it."
He put the elixir to his nose again and smelled: "There is also sulfur and some herbs. Are you giving them to others? This is obviously poison. You brought it for me honestly. If you dare to tell a lie, don't It’s my fault for being rude.”
"Yes, yes! Your Majesty, spare your life. It was our official who came to the temple to find the old Taoist. He forced the old Taoist to refine the elixir of immortality for your majesty, otherwise he would kill the Taoist temple's young and old. That's why the old Taoist had to come. In fact, There is no elixir of immortality in this world. It would be great if we could eat it and become immortals. What we use every day is nothing more than some elixirs to cure diseases and save lives."
After listening to what the old Taoist priest said, Gao Buyi realized that the root of his emotional problems lay with him, and that he was forcing his wife into prostitution. So his expression softened a lot: "Okay, what you said is the truth, and what you said is true, so I will I'll spare you this time. If you dare to refine this harmful poison again after you go back, I can't spare you. You go to the imperial hospital to assist the imperial doctor and detoxify the people in the palace who have taken your elixir one by one. Then I will let you go. go back."
"Yes, yes! Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Get up. In addition, you have to write a document clarifying that the elixir of immortality is a scam, and sign it with your name. I will use this to kill the bad habit of taking elixirs. Everyone has money to burn, and they will die. Are you kidding me, it would be nice to donate this money to the imperial court to build ships and cannons."
Not understanding what Gao Buyi was talking about, the old Taoist priest kept thanking him.
Gao Buyi waved his hand and asked the imperial army to take them to Tai Hospital. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Gao Buyi again just after taking two steps: "Do you have the kind that mixes charcoal and saltpeter to get one that will burn strongly and release A recipe for something like dazzling white light and a lot of smoke? I remember that your ancestor Ge Hong came up with it at that time."
"Yes, yes!!!! This is it, your Majesty, please take a look at it."
Gao Buyi took it and found that there was nothing in this recipe except a few names. It was of little use to him. He also knew the things. The key was how to match them.
Gao Buyi was a little disappointed. After waiting until there were only Gao Buyi and Shangguan Pei Hui, Shangguan Pei Hui said: "Your Majesty, there is no match for this recipe?"
"How do you know? By the way, have you already prepared explosives?"
"Explosives? I don't know. It's just that our Mo Sect has prepared a black thing based on the elixirs we collected. The condition of that thing is exactly the same as what your Majesty said. If your Majesty wants it, I will write to you." "
"Seriously?!" The excited Gao Buyi hugged Shangguan Pei Hui and kissed her pretty face: "Hui'er, you are really my lucky general. I thank you on behalf of Datang. Let's go, Let’s go write now.”
After saying that, he pulled Shangguan Pei Hui, who was already stunned, and ran towards Zichen Palace. Those who didn't know the situation would definitely think that this guy was in a hurry.
Shangguan Pei Hui was also speechless, saying that it was so good that we hugged and kissed you again. Although we have a secret promise for you, we can't act like this. If the jealous concubine finds out, it will cause chaos in the harem.
Gao Buyi didn't think so much. Gunpowder, the thing he dreamed of, was now at his fingertips. How could he not be excited? With gunpowder, and relying on his experience in later generations, given him two years, he could use the powerful power of gunpowder in It was vividly displayed on the battlefield. By then, who would the Tang army be afraid of?
After Shangguan Pei Hui wrote out the formula for him, he found that Mo Sect had perfected the gunpowder formula. He only wrote one sentence on it, adding egg white to it, and then had people hurriedly add Lux to it. He came to him and gave him the formula of gunpowder, and also gave the drawings of mines, artillery and flintlocks to Lux. He also asked Shangguan Pei Hui to send a gunpowder preparation expert to assist, and asked him to organize people to conduct secret research at all costs.
After seeing off the powerful man, Gao Buyi was still very excited. He kept walking back and forth in the room and muttered something. Shangguan Pei Hui couldn't understand it. He could only feel that he was very happy, which made Shangguan Pei Hui very happy. .
"Hui'er, does your Mo sect have any more unacceptable inventions?"
"Ah?" Shangguan Pei Hui didn't know how to answer these words.
"It's the kind of thing that looks inconspicuous but is actually very powerful."
"Oh, there is another thing boiled out of petroleum oil. It is a light yellow liquid that burns violently and is indestructible when exposed to water."
"Hui'er, there are so many treasures!" Gao Buyi couldn't help but praise. He knew what Shangguan Pei Hui was talking about, which was gasoline.
