The explosion occurred the moment before the pots hit the ground.

The explosion of thirty clay pots far exceeded the roar of spring thunder.

Everyone only saw a burst of fire flashing in front of their eyes, and then their ears were buzzing with a deafening, thunder-like explosion.

Smoke filled the air, and the entire school grounds were filled with silence.

Everyone stared blankly at the scene in front of them.

When the smoke cleared, the dummies originally placed on the school grounds had been blown to pieces.

Countless fragments are scattered all over the ground.

There were also a lot of pieces of wood that were blown away to the edge of the school field.

There were even large and small craters left at the scene where the clay pots exploded.

After a long time, Han Jiang looked at Zhao Xu with a trembling voice and bowed deeply: "Your Majesty..."

"This is?"

He couldn't believe what he saw.

Even if he hadn't seen the clay pot thrown by Yu Longzhi with his own eyes, he would have thought that what he saw was the Five Thunder Techniques cast by the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals from the Lei Department or the Heavenly Master Taoist from Longhu Mountain.

.

At this time, the other ministers also collectively looked at Zhao Xu, seeking answers from him.

This is incredible!

Completely beyond their imagination!

Although he said nothing, his strange power confused his spirit.

But in fact, among the civil servants and officials of the Song Dynasty, very few did not believe in gods and Buddhas.

Both Taishi Wen Yanbo and Sikong Wang Anshi of Jiangning believed in Buddhism.

The one who really has no interest in gods and Buddhas and has no faith at all is Sima Guang, a stubborn donkey.

Zhao Xu raised his head slightly, met the gazes of the ministers, and said proudly: "This is the legacy of Huang Kao!"

"Shen Kuo!" Zhao Xu smiled and said to Shen Kuo, who had become 'reserved': "Let me explain to you dear friends..."

Shen Kuo lowered his head, came closer, bowed and said: "I accept the decree!"

So he briefly introduced the process of developing a powerful firearm after entering Beijing last year to the officials and ministers present.

Of course, there is no need to talk about detailed technical research and details.

As long as we emphasize that Shen Kuo, under the order of the emperor, based on the many achievements of the late emperor, made innovations through the old and finally developed such a military and national weapon, it will be enough to briefly describe it.

Anyway - not many people would pay attention to such trivial issues.

After listening to Shen Kuo's introduction, everyone turned towards the direction of Yongyu Mausoleum, kowtowed and bowed again: "Fu Weiying, Martyr Wu Shengxiao, Emperor Blessed by the gods, the rejuvenation of the country can be expected!"

The two prime ministers Han Jiang and Lu Gong were even more excited.

With this sharp weapon in hand, the country will be safe!

Neither northern captives nor western thieves could threaten the Song Dynasty.

That is to say, Lu Gongzhu has some hidden worries in his heart.

"After today, Emperor Shenzong will probably become the third supreme emperor since the ancestors of the Song Dynasty, and will be sacrificed for eternity!"

According to the system of the ancestral temple, all relatives will be mourned.

In the past dynasties, generally only Taizu and Taizong could live forever.

But now, the late emperor's great achievements are becoming more and more numerous.

Coupled with the current emperor's admiration and admiration for the late emperor.

Lu Gongzhu can imagine that in the future, ministers will definitely start to write letters, requesting that the temple of the deceased emperor be included in the list of temples that will never be forgotten in the Song Dynasty on the grounds that the emperor's merits are great, the country is blessed, and the gods are holy.

Today, I will definitely follow the good path.

Once this happens...

The various policies of the late emperors will be sacred and inviolable.

At least the ministers did not dare to move - the Lord who is immortal must have eternal merits.

As a result, no one dared to touch Wang Anshi's status - no one could bypass Wang Anshi and evaluate the late emperor alone.

The late emperor and Wang Anshi were tied together.

This is an objective reality that cannot be changed by anyone's will.

Of course, there are exceptions.

That’s today!

As the late emperor’s personal teachings and steadfast teachings, he entrusted the ancestral temple and the country to his family, as well as his legacy and foundation.

Today, as long as he is willing, he can say at any time: What happened during the Emperor's Examination, and what happened to me following the Emperor's Examination...

Who can question the private trust and education between father and son?

so……

Mr. Lu pursed his lips.

"Rather than give this credit to the traitor..."

"It's better for me to be content with it!"

Lu Gongzhu immediately decided to write a memorial after returning home today.

Of course, things have to be done step by step.

Therefore, he almost immediately thought of the pornographic content of his post - begging for the title of Emperor Shenzong Yingliewushengxiao.

After receiving the honorary title, on the death anniversary of the late emperor next year, he will take the initiative to accept the task of going to Yongyu Mausoleum to offer sacrifices.

When I come back, I will receive all kinds of auspicious signs.

Then he exaggerated the late emperor's various merits and achievements, so that he, the prime minister, took the lead in requesting that the late emperor's ancestral temple be included in the noble ranks that will never be forgotten.

With this merit, he, Mr. Lu, can be in the emperor's heart.

The other ministers basically had the same idea as Lu Gongzhu at this moment.

After all, they are not stupid and have enough political acumen.

That was Su Song, who was still looking blankly at the school field after the explosion, his eyes flashing and his heart beating thumpingly.

"firearm?!"

Su Song murmured.

He knew about firearms since he knew it - the "Martial Classics General Essentials" edited by Zeng Xuanjing Gong (Zeng Gongliang) in the past recorded a variety of firearms and weapons.

For example, fire caltrops, or poisonous fireballs.

He also made several of his own based on the drawings.

But... the effect is average.

At best it can only be regarded as an auxiliary weapon on the battlefield.

But I didn't expect that this firearm could actually produce such great power and create such terrifying effects!

"Is this the principle behind Shen Cunzhong's investigation of things to achieve knowledge?" he thought.

Shen Kuo's new book "Ge Wu Lun" has been published this year.

Su Song also bought it and read it. To be honest, after reading it, Su Song didn't like it.

Because Shen Kuo's book is about a tailor.

Cut out the thoughts of Zhang Zai, Zhou Dunyi, Hu Yuan, Cheng Hao and other great Confucian scholars, cut a little here, copy a little there, then sew them up yourself, and add them to the explanation of the study of things to achieve knowledge, and that's it.

It's very immature and has some logical problems.

Therefore, Su Song only read it once and then threw it into the brazier and burned it.

Now it seems that this method of studying things to gain knowledge may really contain a great truth, but I have not yet understood it.

I will have to buy another copy later and study it carefully!

If you have time, I'll discuss it with Shen Cunzhong.

Maybe you can get the key and understand the truth.

Thinking of this, Su Song made up his mind.

Tonight, I will go to Shen Kuo's house and have a candlelit night talk with him to ask for advice on the principles of studying things to gain knowledge.

Su Song had a vague feeling - if he could understand the truth, he would be remembered in history in the future, and he might even use these principles to benefit the world!
