Li Jue was completely stunned by Li Tai's words.
He simply couldn't understand what grudge Li Tai had against Li Shimin, and why he was always thinking about ousting Li Shimin from the throne.
However, Li Tai was right about one thing: gunpowder was his courage to look down on everyone!
As long as you have gunpowder, you have truth!
Moreover, Li Jue was not afraid that Li Tai would leak the gunpowder formula, because the gunpowder formula was the simplest, but how to purify sulfur and saltpeter was the most difficult.
As for the upgraded nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin, they are the core of his dominance over the entire world!
Li Tai laughed wildly for a while, then quickly calmed down.
Of course, this was mainly because Li Jue was too cold and didn't pay any attention to him.
"Nephew, you don't look like your father at all!"
"Are you really your father's biological child?"
"If your father possessed such a divine artifact, the world would have been his long ago!"
Li Jue said with a look of disgust upon hearing this.
"Are you ever going to stop?"
"If you dare to utter another word, I'll kick you out!"
"Alright, alright, I won't argue anymore!"
"You taught me the secret formula for this divine artifact today. I, your fourth uncle, hereby assure you that I am your man for life and will never betray you!"
"Even if you ever want to rebel in the future, your fourth uncle will be your vanguard!"
Upon hearing this, Li Jue waved his hand impatiently.
"Shut up!"
"To be honest, I'm not afraid of you revealing the formula."
"Because this is just the most basic recipe; I haven't told you about the more advanced recipe yet!"
"ah?"
Li Tai was shocked to hear this. Such a powerful thing was only the most basic formula!
"Nephew, do you know any even more powerful recipes?"
"certainly!"
"Quickly, quickly, teach me! I'll be your slave for life!"
Li Jue rolled his eyes dismissively upon hearing this.
"You can't be my slave for the rest of your life!"
Why?
"You don't believe your fourth uncle? Your fourth uncle can swear to God!"
"Fourth Uncle, it's not a matter of whether you believe it or not, but the current technology isn't up to par. We'll have to wait at least a few more years!"
Li Tai seemed to be thinking about what Li Tai said.
"Wait a few more years?"
"But do we have to wait for the right time, the right place, and the right people?"
Li Jue nodded perfunctorily upon hearing this. He was truly terrified of his fourth uncle, who was practically a madman.
"Fourth Uncle, if you're bored, why don't you research how to increase the power of this thing!"
"oh?"
"I'm giving you direction!"
"This substance is more powerful when ignited in a sealed container!"
"For example..."
Li Jue casually picked up a glass bottle, filled it with gunpowder, and then attached a long fuse.
"Fourth Uncle, come with me to the back garden."
"Oh oh oh!"
Before long, the two arrived at the back garden. Li Jue placed the glass bottle on the artificial hill, lit the fuse, and then led Li Tai to run wildly for more than ten zhang before stopping behind a big tree.
Cover your ears!
Upon hearing this, Li Tai casually covered his ears, thinking that such a small amount of gunpowder could hardly cause a commotion. Little did he know that just as he was thinking this, a loud "bang" came from the artificial hill, and then the three-zhang-high artificial hill was smashed into a pile of rubble.
"This...this..."
"This thing is so powerful?"
"Fourth Uncle, you should continue your research in this direction from now on..."
What did you say?
"Speak louder!"
"I said..."
"Fourth Uncle, didn't you cover your ears just now?"
"What ears?"
"I can't hear you!"
Seeing this, Li Jue immediately shut up. Judging from Li Tai's current state, he probably wouldn't recover for several hours.
When Li Tai saw that Li Jue was about to leave, he grabbed him.
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm going home!"
"Don't go! I want to go see the artificial hill!"
"Go by yourself!"
Let's go together!
Li Jue couldn't break free and was dragged along by Li Tai to the artificial hill. Li Tai looked at the broken stones all over the ground, then at the shattered glass fragments scattered everywhere, and clicked his tongue in amazement.
"This thing is so powerful?"
"If we use a hundred-pound wooden barrel and then set it on fire, wouldn't that flatten Mount Nengzhen?"
"Nephew, you're amazing! You're a god in this world!"
Seeing that Li Tai had gone mad again, Li Jue could only forcefully break free and run back to the Jian'ai Hall. But when he returned, he suddenly discovered that the remaining half-pound of gunpowder on the table was gone!
Li Jue was shocked to see this. If someone who didn't know any better took this thing, it would cause a big problem!
Taiji Palace.
Li Shimin looked at the black powder his men brought back with a puzzled expression.
"What did you say? You're saying this is the raw material for yesterday's fireworks?"
"right!"
"This item was personally prepared by His Highness the Prince of Wei, and tested by His Highness the eldest grandson. The flames it produced were identical to yesterday's fireworks, and even the smell was the same!"
Li Shimin immediately became interested upon hearing this.
"Ananda, bring me a box of matches that rebellious grandson gave me!"
"promise!"
Li Shimin struck a match and carelessly threw it onto the black powder. Then, with a loud "bang," he met his tragic end.
The rising flames instantly engulfed him. When the flames dissipated, not only were his eyebrows and hair charred, but his face was also burned black.
"Cough cough cough..."
