Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

In April, Yichou, Li Shimin caught wind and cold and suffered from the scorching heat in the capital. He ordered people to repair the abandoned Taihe Palace in Zhongnan Mountain and rename it Cuiwei Palace.

In the same month, the imperial court established the Yanran Protectorate, which governed six governorates including Hanhai and seven states including Gaolan.

Li Suli, Sima of the Yangzhou Governor's Office, was appointed as the Protector.

Li Suli appeased the local people with his kindness, and people of all ethnic groups obeyed him and donated cattle and horses one after another. Suli only accepted a glass of wine and returned the rest.

Zhou Daowu also rushed back to Chang'an City after a long journey.

"Your Majesty, Prince Consort Zhou Daowu is outside the palace asking for an audience." A eunuch reported outside.

"Who? Ah, Taoist, let him in."

Li Shimin didn't react at first, but then he became a little confused. Wasn't Zhou Daowu the deputy governor of Qinghai Road?

Why did he come back so suddenly? It must be the traitor who pretended to be a public servant and asked Zhou Daowu to come back to visit his relatives.

"I see your Majesty." Zhou Daowu was soon brought in, and Li An was also brought in with him.

He also held two boxes in his hand,

Originally, I had to check it when I entered the palace, but Zhou Daowu said that this was something secretly presented to His Majesty by His Royal Highness Prince Ji and could not be opened.

Just in case, Lee An held it himself.

"Well, excuse me, Taoist, you have done well in Qinghai Tao this year and you have not insulted your father.

I have not insulted the reputation of your Zhou family. "Li Shimin looked at Zhou Daowu and couldn't help but praise a few words,

He thought of Zhou Shaofan who followed him in the northern and southern wars.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Zhou Daowu thanked him somewhat cautiously.

"Tell me, did your traitorous son ask you to come back to visit the bride this time? What kind of excuse did he make?"

After Li Shimin finished praising Zhou Daowu, he picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and asked more interestedly.

All of Zhou Daowu's thoughts were disrupted, and he didn't even know where to start.

"Consort, don't be nervous, just tell the truth. Your Majesty is kind and will not blame you and Prince Ji."

Seeing Zhou Daowu's appearance, Wang De walked down and whispered a reminder.

Zhou Daowu raised his head and glanced at Li Shimin, and could only say truthfully:

"Your Majesty, forgive me. This has nothing to do with Prince Ji. I wanted to go home to visit my relatives and asked Prince Ji for help, so..."

Zhou Daowu was quite righteous. He planned to take the blame on himself, but was interrupted by Li Shimin before he could finish his sentence.

"Okay, you don't have to cover up for that traitor, I know him better than you.

Not to mention this, you have been away for a year, so come back as soon as you come back.

What excuse did you tell me King Ji gave you?

I guessed it must be a treasure, and then dedicated it to me, but this treasure is definitely not very valuable. "

Li Shimin laughed as he spoke. This was something his son could do.

Zhou Daowu couldn't help but sigh that he knows his son better than his father. Your Majesty knows everything King Ji wants.

Fortunately, His Majesty will definitely like this thing I brought this time.

"Your Majesty, King Ji asked his ministers to escort something, which is in this box, but... King Ji said it should be kept secret and not known to outsiders."

Zhou Daowu said and looked at the eunuchs and maids in the hall.

Li Shimin nodded, Wang De immediately understood, waved to the others, and the servants immediately retreated.

"Your Majesty, this thing is too dangerous. When we came here, His Royal Highness Prince Ji specifically told him to try not to let His Majesty get close to it.

If you get close, there should be no fire sources around, and if you want to demonstrate this thing, you need a place with open terrain and no one. "

Zhou Daowu continued to tell Li Shen's advice.

After hearing this, Li Shimin suddenly realized something and stood up immediately.

"Let's go to Xuanwu Gate."

It was the emptiest and most deserted place, a place Li Shimin rarely went to.

Follow Li Shimin to the Xuanwu Gate. Further north is the Royal Forbidden Garden, where the Beiya Forbidden Army is located.

Xuanwumen is an urn city, and the Xuanwumen revolution took place in Wengcheng.

But since then, the place has been basically deserted. As long as there are people guarding it, Li Shimin basically doesn't use this door.

Standing on the city wall, Li Shimin was somewhat emotional.

"Li An, ask the Yulin Guards to remove the city wall." Li Shimin looked at the Yulin Guards on the city wall and ordered.

Soon the city and its walls were deserted.

"Your Majesty, I will demonstrate it right now, but for the sake of safety, please stay away from your Majesty. I will throw it into the urn city."

Zhou Daowu understood what Li Shimin meant. Even if there was a sound in Wengcheng, others would not know what happened.

Li Shimin moved, Wang De stood beside him, and Li An followed Zhou Daowu, watching his every move.

Zhou Daowu opened the box, took out an iron ball, asked Li An for a fire to light it, and threw it into the urn with all his strength.

"Boom~~~" may be because the Wengcheng sound is more homogeneous, but the sound is actually a little louder than in the wilderness.

Li Shimin was trembling with fright.

"Escort~~~Escort~~~~" In an instant, Yulin Wei reacted quickly and rushed up to the city wall.

"Password, I'm not in any serious trouble, please retreat." Li Shimin said to Wang De.

Soon, the Yulin Guards retreated to the city like a tide. However, the Yulin Guards were all curious, was it thundering just now?

"Your Majesty, His Majesty, His Majesty King Ji told you to hide this last one for self-defense, but it is best not to carry it with you. It is too dangerous. You should also keep it away from fire sources."

Zhou Daowu pointed to another box in Li An's hand and said.

Li Shimin is still frightened when he sees the box now.

"You bastard, this traitor, he actually let me hide such a dangerous thing? Does he want me to ascend to heaven as soon as possible?"

"Your Majesty, the prince said that this thing will not explode unless it is exposed to an open flame, and it will not work well after being damp for a long time.

So it should be stored in a dry place. "Zhou Daowu defended Li Shen.

Li Shimin opened the box and took a look, but he was always a little scared. Then he took Wang De and Li An down to the place where the explosion occurred in Wengcheng to have a look.

There was a piece of scorched earth, there was a strange smell in the air, and a medium-sized hole was blown out of the ground.

Although I can't tell how powerful it is in combat, the momentum just now was already very scary.

Considering Li Shen's previous battle reports, this thing should be pretty powerful.

"Your Majesty, it's too empty here, so I can't see its power. Look, there are iron pieces and nails on the ground.

His Highness Prince Ji said that there are all these small iron pieces inside, and when they explode, they fly out like flowers scattered by the goddess, killing the enemy.

Without armor, one will be killed or injured within one foot. "Zhou Daowu explained to Li Shimin again.

Li Shimin knelt down and picked up a few iron pieces with his hands, looked at them, and then threw them to the ground.

"Li An, please clean up this place yourself." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the palace.
