After Zhu Houzhao said this, Liu Jin couldn't help but tremble. He had never thought of murdering a veteran of four dynasties.

But because of this, Liu Jin began to feel a little strange and afraid of his Majesty. But at the same time, he also knew that ruthlessness was something he had to have, so he nodded and said, "What the emperor said!"

At this time, Qiu Ju ran away: "Emperor, I will catalyze the reaction with concentrated nitric acid and glycerin and concentrated sulfuric acid as you told me. Now a new liquid has finally been produced. I don't know if it is nitroglycerin."

Zhu Houzhao hurriedly asked Qiu Ju to take him to see it, and then he saw a conical bottle filled with the reaction liquid.

Zhu Houzhao only asked Qiu Ju to take ten milliliters of liquid, and specifically told him to move more gently. Then he asked him to put ten milliliters of liquid in the forest beside the Tai Li pond five miles away from the leopard room. Then he asked Qiu Ju to hang a large stone slab on a tree close to the conical bottle.

"Now, you stand five hundred steps away and pull the rope, and then look at my gesture. I waved my hand to let you loosen the rope, you will loosen it, do you understand?"

After Zhu Houzhao said that, he handed the rope to Qiu Ju, and then he and Liu Jin ran for more than 500 steps. He stopped after being out of breath, hid under a big tree, and waved to Qiu Ju.

After all, nitroglycerin is a strong explosive, and basically a small amount of it can explode if it is hit by a hammer. Therefore, he does not guarantee whether he will be blown up later. So he can only let Qiu Ju do this experiment and hide from a distance to watch.

Liu Jin, who followed Zhu Houzhao, also looked at Zhu Houzhao with some curiosity. He didn't understand the frightened and uneasy look on his face.

At this time, Qiu Ju loosened the rope, and he didn't understand why his emperor was in a hurry to run so far.

However, at this moment, the stone had fallen sharply and smashed at a rapid speed under the action of gravity toward the beaker equipped with the glass cover.

boom!

Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded, and a tree where the beaker was placed was exploded, the stones burst out directly, and dust flew everywhere. After the smoke of gunpowder was gone, only a big pit was left.

In addition, Qiu Ju was also blown away by the air waves and fell heavily in front of Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao had never seen the explosion power of nitroglycerin in his previous life, but he knew that the explosion power of nitroglycerin was sixteen times that of black gunpowder, and TNT was only fourteen times that of black gunpowder. Now, it only took ten milliliters and only more than ten grams to explode a large pit, lifting Qiu Ju away five hundred steps away. If it was a pound of nitroglycerin, Zhu Houzhao believed that it would be no problem to blow up a two-story building.

But Zhu Houzhao was also a little scared at this time, and felt his whole body numb. He thought that if he added dozens of milliliters, he would be afraid that he would die at this moment. But he was surprised again, because now he had this nitroglycerin, which was equivalent to having explosives that were stronger than black gunpowder. However, this nitroglycerin is really a bit dangerous and will be detonated by violent collisions and high temperatures. The development of gunpowder after the Ming Dynasty will definitely not be satisfied with this.

Qiu Ju looked at Zhu Houzhao with blood on his face at this time: "Emperor, didn't you say that nitroglycerin is a medicine? Why is it more powerful than the gunpowder of Wang Gongchang? I almost died."

Qiu Ju dared not blame Zhu Houzhao, but he was even more scared than Zhu Houzhao because he stayed in the same room with hundreds of milliliters of nitroglycerin for several days.

"Gunpowder is also a medicine! You go back and keep your experimental records. This is the top secret of our Ming Dynasty. Do you understand?" Zhu Hou patted Qiu Ju's shoulder and said to Liu Jin beside him: "I will give you fifty milliliters of nitroglycerin, and you will find a chance to blow the Minister of War Liu Daxia to me to death! I will only give you three days!"

Liu Jin, who was confused, nodded quickly: "I obey the order!"

That night, Zhu Houzhao asked Qiu Ju to take only two drops of nitroglycerin and put it in a sealed brown bottle to prepare esterification to make nitroglyceride, a medicine for treating heart disease.

Except for the fifty milliliters of Liu Jin to prepare to kill Liu Daxia, the rest were secretly taken out of the capital to find a place where no one was buried first. After all, the chemistry laboratory was too close to the leopard room, and Zhu Youjian was afraid that this thing would explode unexpectedly.

The army in the capital was divided into the 12th Regiment Battalion and the Imperial Army since Tumu Fort, the 12th Regiment Battalion was jointly led by the Admiral and Eunuch and the Minister of War. If Zhu Houzhao wanted to control the army, he had to control these two official positions. This was also the reason why Zhu Houzhao wanted to eliminate the Minister of War Liu Daxia.

Liu Daxia, the Minister of War, did not know that he had been targeted by Emperor Zhu Houzhao, but Zhu Houzhao noticed his dissatisfaction with the Ming Dynasty's military affairs, and he couldn't help but go to the cabinet and said to the cabinet's chief assistant Liu Jian: "Chief Minister, Your Majesty seems to be dissatisfied with the Ministry of War, and he is very keen on military affairs in his words! If this continues, it is not a good thing!"

Liu Jian snorted: "It's not your Majesty Liu Jin, the instigator of the eunuch! It is said that Liu Jin not only lured His Majesty to play games all day long, but also secretly made friends with civil officials to cultivate power for him. He also got close to Zhang Cai from the Ministry of Personnel. Now he asked His Majesty to promote him and he was going to Wang Yue. His Majesty asked in person, and Wang Yue had to let him take charge of the bell and drums first."

"I'm afraid that it was his idea to deceive Your Majesty out of the palace. If this eunuch wants to be the second Wang Zhen, it must be that he instigated Your Majesty to be a powerful military force. Otherwise, how could His Majesty suddenly care about military affairs? He should find someone to demote the eunuch to Nanjing. Let him stay with Your Majesty and not be a good thing after all!" Liu Daxia said in agreement.

"It's not the time to move him. As long as the Ministry of War is yours and the Imperial Horse Supervisor is the king's man, Liu Jin will not be able to cause much trouble. The most important thing to be guarded against now is that the eunuch and Ma Wensheng join forces together, which is more troublesome! Eunuch will not become a climate, but the eunuch will become a climate!" Liu Jian said.

Liu Daxia agreed deeply, and then when he thought that Ma Wensheng had not resigned and occupied the position of Minister of Personnel, he couldn't help but gritted his teeth: "Ma Wensheng, an old man who is just a corpse, why don't he die!"

Liu Daxia bid farewell to Liu Jian and returned to the Ministry of War. Suddenly, Xu Jin, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, came to him: "Mr. Liu, Yang Yiqing, the governor of Shaanxi, just came to report that he would like to report 400,000 taels of border walls. The border walls in Yansui have not been built for several years and are destroyed in many places. He may be invaded by the enemy in the future."

"I don't have money for this official. I will leave when the Tartars come. The Ministry of War cannot always ask the cabinet and the Ministry of Revenue for money. The chief minister must also reserve money for disaster relief. It cannot make it difficult for the chief minister to do at this time!" Liu Daxia said.

Xu Jin knew that Liu Daxia had always been unwilling to ask Shangguan for money, basically liked to brag about how good he did. Seeing this, he had to agree to retreat and rejected Shaanxi Governor Yang Yiqing's request to repair the border wall.

"By the way, Mr. Xu, have you found the drawings of the eunuchs who were voting to the West?" Liu Daxia suddenly remembered something and asked.

"The official has not been found yet," Xu Jin replied.

"I found it and I cannot let Your Majesty see this drawing. Who knows whether Liu Jin and other eunuchs who are following him will instigate him to go to the West!" Liu Daxia said.

"The official understands that I don't know when the lord will leave the yamen. I heard that it will rain tonight, so I should go home early, so I can't help but ignore Mrs. Ru, the new lady," Xu Jin said with a smile.

Liu Daxia recently took a 16-year-old concubine and became an elegant official. When he saw Xu Jin mention it, he smiled slightly: "Thank you, Mr. Xu, reminded me. Today I will leave the yamen early at the You hour. You should go back early to rest."

Xu Jin nodded and said yes, then took the excuse to leave the Ministry of War's office first, and then asked someone to give the news to Liu Jin.

When it was the hour of You, the sun set and the officials from the six yamen did not leave. Liu Daxia, the Minister of War, left the yamen first because Xu Jin reminded him. But when he just left the yamen, he saw a large sedan chair outside the yamen, covered with red cloth, which looked very festive.

Liu Daxia couldn't help but be furious: "Who got married and came to pick him up from the six ministries! It's really ridiculous! Who did it!"

As soon as Liu Daxia finished asking, two cows rushed over and directly hit the red sedan chair.

boom!
