The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Xiao Rui once read some information that the black gunpowder in the previous life appeared earlier, it seems that at the end of the Tang Dynasty, an alchemist named Qing Xuzi wrote the "Secrets of the Supreme Holy Ancestor Golden Alchemy", in which the "Volume Fire Alum Method" is The earliest written record of gunpowder in the world.

At first, gunpowder was not used in the military, but in circus acrobatic performances, such as some pyrotechnic acrobatics, or making ornamental fireworks. Even if it was introduced into the military later, it was mainly used for arson because of its poor explosive performance.

It was not until the Song Dynasty that gunpowder was widely used in the military, and many related weapons were developed. In the Southern Song Dynasty, muskets were invented, but they were made of long bamboo poles. In the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, tubular firearms were changed to copper or iron, forming the "fire gun".

In the Ming Dynasty, artillery prevailed, and even the "Shenji Battalion" was formed, and the army was generally equipped with firearms.

And in this world.

Seven Kingdoms competed for supremacy, and there were alchemists who studied the art of pills, but in the early days alchemists mostly used the water method to make alchemy, and the "submerged fire alum method" was only available in the past century, but because of the different formulas, the flames ignited by the subdued fire are also different. The power is not astonishing, so alchemists have never paid attention to it, so that the black powder has not really been born.

Until the alchemist Ge Hong, he is a skilled alchemist who is good at exploring. He discovered the mystery of the volt fire alum method. The ratio and the materials used inadvertently were closer to the ratio of black powder. Of course, This is also the ghost of the system.

Ge Hong introduced the configuration progress of the black powder. He recruited five alchemists to cooperate, and prepared a familiar taste according to the familiar formula.

Xiao Rui went out to the open space specially to experience the power of black powder.

A paper bag of black gunpowder was thrown into the firewood-burning stone pot, and with a bang, the stone pot was exploded, turning into fragments and flying in all directions, hitting the bamboo shed with a thumping sound, some fragments were fierce, unexpectedly It pierced through the bamboo, and its power is terrifying.

It was not the first time that Jia Xu and Guo Jia had seen the power of gunpowder, but every time they saw it with their own eyes, they were filled with horror and couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

This power is so terrifying, it has the power to split mountains and rocks! Who would have thought that the simple combination of nitrate, charcoal, sulfur and other materials could have such terrifying power, and how powerful it would be if it were used on the battlefield?

Xiao Rui was very satisfied, and highly appreciated Ge Hong's efforts, then called Wu Zhanfa, listed the black gunpowder as the top secret of Huben Pavilion, and prohibited anyone from leaking it. Ge Hong and five alchemists strictly protected him, and Ge Hong directly upgraded to Master Craftsman and five alchemists have also been promoted.

Now, the advent of gunpowder has given Xiao Rui a big killer, but Xiao Rui also understands that gunpowder alone is not very effective. The Song and Ming dynasties also used firearms well in their previous lives, and they did not stop the crisis of destroying the country. So you can make good use of it, but you can't rely on it.

After browsing the Huben Pavilion, Xiao Rui felt relieved, and encouraged Wu Zhanfa, Shen Wansan, Ge Hong and others before Xiao Rui took people away. When he returned to the capital, night just fell.

Just as he sat down to have a cup of tea, Xiao Yan rushed over excitedly.

"Seventh Brother, let's go, let's go to Li's Mansion." Xiao Yan dragged Xiao Rui and walked out.

After the white girl disappeared, Xiao Yan sighed for a long time, and immediately revived with full blood, it seemed that he was no longer sad because of his first love who died young, but Xiao Rui suffered from it, and came to pester himself whenever he had time.

I am a person who does great things, so I don't have time to accompany you to make urine.

It's a pity that Xiao Yan's complexion is too thick, you can't drive him away at all, he is more familiar with Xianwang's residence than his own, and he is very skilled in ordering servants and maids, making Xiao Rui doubt who is the master of this place.

Tian Boguang and Zhang Jinfu left Beijing, and he had no one to play with, so he naturally came to pester Xiao Rui.

"What are you doing at Li's Mansion? Could it be that you woke up from the pain of a broken relationship and fell in love with Li Ruoxue again?" Xiao Rui couldn't help being suspicious.

Xiao Yan shook his head and said: "I don't want to take away Seventh Brother's love, I'm going to find Li Dongsheng, and ask him if he can find the person that Miss Bai entrusted him to find, if he finds him, wouldn't it be possible to see Miss Bai again?" ?”

Xiao Rui said depressedly: "You haven't forgotten Miss Bai?"

"Now I deeply understand what Seventh Brother once said, if the relationship lasts for a long time, how can it be day and night! So I believe that this is God's test for me and Miss Bai." Xiao Rui Sincerely.

Xiao Rui: ...

It seems that Xiao Yan is going to forge ahead on the road of spare tires.

"Okay, okay, give up your life to accompany the gentleman, I will accompany you." Xiao Rui had no choice but to accompany him.

When they came to Li's mansion, Li Dongsheng came out of the mansion to greet him after the notification.

"Your Highness the Seventh Highness, Your Highness the Ninth Highness, the two Highnesses are here to make the mansion flourish." Li Dongsheng, clad in Taoist robes, clasped his hands and asked.

Xiao Yan wondered, "Young master Li, you have been wearing Taoist robes all day long, and you decided to take the road of Taoism and longevity in the future?"

"No, this outfit is comfortable to wear. I will continue to travel around the world after a while, and this outfit is also very convenient." Li Dongsheng explained.

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up, and he quickly said: "You often travel around the world? Then we have something to talk about. I am writing a novel now, and I need someone with a lot of knowledge to describe the scenery outside. Otherwise, I will only write based on imagination." , are all empty talk, how can it be worthy of the readers?"

Seeing that he was getting deeper and deeper in the novel, Xiao Rui also asked: "Where did you write "Journey to the West"? Why don't you send it to me, and I'll give you a reference."

Xiao Yan rolled his eyes, and said: "No, you must keep suspenseful, so I won't let you watch it, but I can tell you the general plot now. The protagonist has come to a place called Spider Pansi Cave, and there are Seven enlightened spider spirits, transformed into human form, are glamorous and moving..."

Xiao Rui showed suspicion, and always felt that Xiao Yan's smile was sinister and malicious.

"Your Highness, let's go to the mansion and talk again. If my father and grandfather find out, they should scold me for neglecting your Highness." Li Dongsheng stretched out his hand to invite.

The two entered the mansion, Xiao Rui said: "Don't let Li Shoufu know that we are here, we are looking for you, don't cause unnecessary trouble."

"I understand." Li Dongcheng said with a smile.

When they arrived at Li Dongcheng's house, the servants had already brought tea and snacks. Xiao Yan asked Li Dongcheng about Miss Bai's whereabouts. After Xiao Yan sighed, he changed the topic and took out his small notebook to ask Li Dongsheng about the wonderful things he encountered during his travels.

Xiao Rui felt bored, so he simply said nothing, and went to the small garden next to him to enjoy the moon.

The moon was just hanging, as big as a disc.

Although the garden of Li's Mansion is not big, the layout is ingenious, with rockery, gardens, gazebos, and bamboo forests accompanied by plum blossoms, which is quite exquisite.

When he walked around the rockery and was about to sit in the gazebo, he didn't expect that there was already someone in the gazebo, and it was Li Xiu'er.

This was beyond Xiao Rui's expectation.

"Ah! Your Highness King Xian, why are you here?" Li Xiu'er also noticed that it was Xiao Rui who came, she got up quickly and said with a surprised face.

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "I accompanied King Tang to see Li Dongcheng. I came here for a walk when I was free and bored. I didn't expect such a coincidence to meet you here. You moved out of Chu Palace again?"

Li Xiuer nodded and said: "I used the reason that my great-grandmother was not in good health. The king of Chu was already tired of me and didn't bother to ask, so I moved out. Just now when my great-grandmother fell asleep, I had nothing to do, so I came here to sit. Sit down. Your Highness, please..."

Xiao Rui sat down, Li Xiu'er quickly poured tea for him, and said softly: "I still want to see Your Highness these few days, but I didn't expect to meet you tonight."

"Sister Xiu'er misses me?" Xiao Rui smiled openly.

Li Xiuer blushed, gave Xiao Rui a white look, and said, "It's a serious matter."

"I didn't think about anything serious either." Xiao Rui replied.

Li Xiu'er felt her heart beating fast, and then hummed: "If you mess around again, I'll leave."

Xiao Rui said helplessly: "Okay, I just moved my mouth but didn't move my hands. What does Sister Xiu'er want from me?"

Li Xiuer looked around to make sure there was no one there, and then said in a low voice: "The concubine Du Xueqin may be pregnant!"

Xiao Rui nodded, it's a good thing that the concubine is pregnant, but then, he was dumbfounded, and the tea in his mouth also sprayed out.

"puff…"

"Whose?" Xiao Rui asked in shock.

Li Xiu'er blushed and said, "How would I know who it is, but I doubt it should belong to the King of Chu."

"It's not the king of Chu, then it's Zhang Yizhi's! Fuck, this topic is too fierce." Xiao Rui also asked Li Yuanfang to give some tonics for giving birth to a precious child. Now that it's all over, there is no need to send the tonics, Zhang Yizhi has already hit it.

However, Xiao Rui was still puzzled and asked: "Sister Xiu'er, how can you be sure that you don't belong to the King of Chu?"

Li Xiu'er said: "The King of Chu has no heirs so far. If it really belongs to the King of Chu, then he must be the eldest son. Du Xueqin was not excited to tell the King of Chu early? But he didn't, and he kept it hidden, even the maidservant. , and asked the personal servant girl to prepare some great cold food, she didn't eat it, but used it to deceive people."

"Then how do you know she's pregnant?" Xiao Rui asked puzzled.

Li Xiu'er's face turned even redder, and she said embarrassedly: "Why are you asking such details, anyway, it's just based on insinuations, and the credibility is extremely high."

"If the child is really Zhang Yizhi's, does she want it or not?" Xiao Rui asked the key point.

Li Xiuer nodded and said: "She has been married to the King of Chu for so many years, and she has not conceived a child for a long time. Now that she has a child, she is the eldest son. With her utilitarianism and ruthlessness, she will definitely keep this child. And I also I have seen her dressed up beautifully, deliberately let the king of Chu stay overnight, just to create the illusion that the child is the king of Chu."

"Yeah, if the time comes and the two of them haven't done any exercise, where did the child come from?" Xiao Rui agreed.

Li Xiu'er snorted, "Your words are really ugly."

Li Xiuer under the moonlight is beautiful and moving, and now she talks about "sports", which arouses people's imagination.

Xiao Rui hurriedly restrained the ripples in his heart, and then planned for this good show.

"You and I don't want to get involved in this matter. Let Du Xueqin do this. Let her do it. When it is exposed in the future, it will tear Xiao Yiheng's flesh and blood, revealing bloody wounds." Xiao Rui couldn't help feeling that God helped me. .

Li Xiu'er nodded, but her expression was suddenly lonely. She sighed and said, "Your Highness, do you think I am a bad woman who betrayed her nominal husband and disobeyed women's morals..."

"I said no, do you believe it?" Xiao Rui said solemnly.

Li Xiu'er raised her head, met Xiao Rui's eyes, and her expression eased when she saw his sincerity.

"It's getting late, I should go back." Li Xiu'er got up and said.

Xiao Rui nodded, and said: "I should go back, Tang Wang is probably waiting for me."

The two of them walked down the gazebo and were about to go around the rockery when there was suddenly the sound of hurried footsteps outside the garden gate, and at the same time a man's urgent voice: "Baby, I'm so anxious."

Xiao Rui and Li Xiu'er's footsteps paused, Li Xiu'er heard the man's voice, she was so frightened that she quickly pulled Xiao Rui to hide in the rockery, but the rockery was too small, the two could only lean against each other.

Li Xiu'er explained in a low voice: "It's Xiu'er's father, my second uncle."

I saw Li Xiuer's father, Li Yinghe, dragging a servant girl to the gazebo, and impatiently pushed the servant girl down on the stone table.

Xiao Rui was dumbfounded, lowered his head, and whispered in Li Xiu'er's ear: "Your second uncle is too fierce, it's so cold, so late, are you afraid of freezing?"

Li Xiuer's face was shy, and she couldn't help stretching out her hand to pinch Xiao Rui's arm.
