Without waiting for Zhu Gaochi to speak, Zhang shi, who was at the side, began to question him.
"You bastard, why did you have to buy such a dangerous thing for your son?”
When Zhu Gaochi heard this, he was immediately at a loss for words.
"I, I didn't."
As he spoke, he pointed at Zhu Zhan Xin.
"Good boy, when did your father give you gunpowder? Don't accuse others of innocence out of thin air!”
"I'm not talking nonsense. I bought the fireworks with the money you gave me.”
"Fireworks?"
Zhu Gaochi and Zhang shi exchanged glances.
"You said fireworks, but even if they are fireworks, the money I gave you can't buy enough to destroy the courtyard.”
Zhu Gaochi was somewhat puzzled.
Such a huge amount of fireworks would definitely be recorded by the government and would not be sold easily.
"Zhanjiu, are you lying? Hurry up and tell your father the truth.”
Zhang shi pinched his ear.
"Mother, I really didn't lie. I used father's money to buy it.”
Zhu Zhan looked at him helplessly.
"Do you think your mother is stupid? How can those fireworks be so powerful to destroy this courtyard?”
Zhang shi looked at him angrily.
"The gunpowder in the fireworks isn't that powerful, but I improved it.”
Zhu Zhan looked at them.
"Modifications?"
"Stop talking nonsense. The gunpowder formula is a national secret. How can you improve it just because you want to?”
Zhu Gaochi looked at him with amusement.
"What's so difficult about that? If I hadn't accidentally estimated the amount wrongly, it wouldn't have become like this.”
He muttered in a low voice.
Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi was stunned. Could it be that this kid really did it?
However, he could not believe that a child of such age could improve the formula of gunpowder.
"Zhanchen, tell me honestly, did you really do this? No assassins?"
Zhu Gaochi stared at him.
"Of course."
Afraid that he would not believe him, Zhu Zhan continued,""Father, if you don't believe me, there should still be gunpowder left under that piece of land.”
"You'll know when you take it out and try it.”
Looking at the place that Zhu Zhanshi pointed at, Zhu Gaochi immediately ordered the guards beside him to dig.
Every once in a while, he would dig out a black iron box.
He opened it and saw that there was still more than half of the gunpowder inside.
"Hmm? Why is this gunpowder like this?"
Zhu Gaochi was a little puzzled. He reached out and picked up some gunpowder. He found that this gunpowder was a little different from Da Ming's current gunpowder.
The gunpowder was in the shape of granules.
He turned his gaze to Zhu Zhan Xin.
"This is it."
He nodded.
As for why the gunpowder was in the shape of granules, it was very troublesome to explain.
In short, the way to develop gunpowder in the future was to create granules.
Compared to powder gunpowder, it was more resistant to moisture, easier to transport, and most importantly, more powerful.
"Alright, Dad, just try it and see if I'm right.”
Anyway, he had no use for the black gunpowder anymore. With the immortal cultivation method, who would still play with gunpowder?
Zhu Gaochi looked at him and thought for a moment. Then, he called the two of them over to prepare for the actual explosion.
"Take that fake mountain over there. Oh right, put a small amount.”
Zhu Zhan Xin pointed at the rockery not far away.
He didn't have time to find some containers for now. There were many holes on the rockery just now, so he could take that one.
Zhu Gaochi nodded.
Soon, the two guards carefully placed a handful of gunpowder into the hole in the rockery and pulled out a long fuse.
And under Zhu Zhan Xin's exhortation, the people on the field had long distanced themselves far away.
After setting up, Zhu Gaochi looked at him and he nodded.
Then, under Zhu Gaochi's nervous and expectant gaze, the fuse was ignited.
At the same time, the group of guards had already stood in front of them to prevent them from being affected by the explosion.
Zhang shi even pulled him into her embrace.
As the fuse slowly burned, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but become nervous. He raised his wide sleeve to block in front of him, his eyes still staring at the fake mountain.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the entire fake mountain was blown into pieces.
Shattered rocks flew everywhere and smashed into the armor of the guards, making a crisp sound.
Zhu Gaochi rolled down his sleeves. When he saw the situation of the fake mountain, his eyes were filled with surprise.
What kind of power was this!
A small amount of gunpowder could destroy a fake mountain. As the Crown Prince, he was very clear about the power of the Ming Dynasty gunpowder.
To blow up such a fake mountain, the amount needed was at least several times more than before!
If this kind of gunpowder was installed in the Great Ming's Divine Arms Battalion, it would definitely be an invincible army.
Sensing this, he hurriedly looked at Zhu Zhan Xin.
"Zhan Jue, tell father the truth, did you really make this gunpowder? No one told you?"
His gaze was very solemn. This new type of gunpowder was really too important to Da Ming.
Once this new type of gunpowder was known by others, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Zhu Zhan Xin nodded.
Seeing his answer, Zhu Gaochi immediately reminded Zhang shi beside him.
"You stay here and watch over everyone here. The news here must not be leaked. I'll immediately take Zhan Chen to look for the old man.”
Zhang shi nodded when she heard this. She also knew the importance of this matter.
"Zhanjiu, quickly change your clothes. I'll bring you to see Imperial Grandfather.”
Zhu Gaochi looked at him and urged.
Not long after, Zhu Gaochi brought Zhu Zhanxin, who had just finished washing up, and hurried to the Imperial Palace.
"Emperor, the Crown Prince is outside the door.”
A eunuch walked into the royal study, bent down, and shouted.
"Crown Prince? Didn't I tell him to rest at home? Why are you here again?"
Zhu Di frowned.
"Alright, let him in."
Zhu Di waved his hand. He also understood that Zhu Gaochi must have something important to discuss with him.
"Your son pays his respects to the emperor."
Zhu Gaochi cupped his hands and greeted Zhu Di. Zhu Zhanyu, who was at the side, also followed suit.
"Alright, there are no outsiders here."
Zhu Di looked at him and pinched the space between his eyebrows. When he saw Zhu Zhanxin standing beside him, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes.
