Gao Chong shook his head slightly and said, "Ziyi, it is impossible for us to be free and easy with just a few of our people. But this gunpowder department has provided me with an opportunity. It is crucial to us and is our guarantee for defeating the Jin people. This time I must take him into my hands!"

"Gunpowder Department? Is it just those firecrackers?" Everyone couldn't believe it.

"Ziyi, everyone saw the explosion of fireworks that day. You said that if the one flying out was not a spark, but an iron nail that could penetrate the iron armor, what would its power be like?"

"Hiss-" Everyone took a breath of cold air, and Liu Ziyi's eyes lit up and said, "Shaojun, is what you said true? Can we achieve it?"

"Yes, it will definitely be possible! However, this gunpowder cannot be made by anyone, but the Song Dynasty has this ability! When I master the Gunpowder Agency and exchange the money for fireworks and win the support of the government, I will be able to produce a large amount of gunpowder.

I want to turn the Gunpowder Agency of the Song Dynasty into our Gunpowder Agency. With these things, no matter how many enemies we have, we are not afraid!

There is still a new development. Yanqing, you must seize the opportunity, train well, and increase your abilities. The same is true for Ziyi. We are really destined to have few people. This is a good place for you to learn. Don’t give up this opportunity.”

Everyone was very excited when they heard this, and bowed and intervened to take the order.

"Mom has a tea!" When Li came back, it was already dark. Gao Chong quickly filled his mother with tea.

"Dalang's health is not good yet, just go and rest! Don't worry about me." Li was becoming more and more satisfied with this son. This time he met Gao Gongtai and Cao Ping, and both of the heads of the family gave him a high evaluation, but the two treasures from his family were given to others for no reason, which really made people feel uncomfortable.

Gao Chong saw his mother's thoughts at a glance. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, mom! I promise you that one day I will build a big ancient museum for mom and put all the treasures in the world inside. Mom will see whatever she wants."

"I know Dalang is the most filial." Li said with a smile: "This thing is just an interest, and you don't have to be so persistent. I still like to read books quietly, so those things should go with the flow!"

"I'm all listening to my mother. By the way, I finally came to Kaifeng. There are the most complete books in the world. I'll accompany me to buy some."

"It'll be great if Dalang has this kind of heart. Now you have to take good care of your health. When you are healthy, let's talk about it. Be obedient and go back and have a good rest!"

Gao Chong agreed and said goodbye to his mother and returned to his bedroom.

Since Li came, Gao Chong and others could not make any noise. They could only compete during the day, and they were honestly afraid to make any noise at night. Moreover, the two princes never appeared again, and everything in the Gao family returned to normal.

A few days passed by, Gao Chong had completely recovered his health, and his spirits were energetic and his eyes looked bright. When he was energetic, his momentum became even more vigorous. The 120-pound gold-engraved tiger-head spear in his hand seemed like a lamp grass, and it made Yang Zaixing and Cao Ning slam it into pieces.

"Stop!" Cao Ning and Yang Zaixing suddenly jumped out of the circle: "Young Master is not good, why is your martial arts growing so fast all of a sudden? Now every shot is powerful and it makes us extremely hard to pick it up. If this continues, there are not many people in the world who can take one move."

Gao Chong also laughed, and his heart was extremely excited. According to his estimate, if he wanted to reach the level of 13 shots in each strike, he had to go through 10 years of hard training. Unexpectedly, this strait made him a blessing in disguise. With the help of the Dragon and Tiger True Yang Pill, his strength has improved by a large margin.

"Shaojun, Emperor Yifu sent her confidant Hongxiao to ask about our preparations." Gao Cai ran in quickly and reported to Gao Chong.

"Tell Hongxiao, please tell the two emperors that everything is ready, just wait for fireworks to decorate the sky in Kaifeng tonight. From today on, the Song Dynasty will open a new chapter!"

Gao Cai agreed and ran out quickly. Everyone was quietly waiting for the night to come.

In the palace, Zhao Ji held a birthday celebration for the empress in the Daqing Hall. All civil and military officials and princes and grandchildren in Kaifeng Prefecture came to celebrate the empress. Of course, eighth-rank officials like Gao Chong are not qualified.

The imperial chef in the palace also puts together his spirit and uses lifelong means to prepare for this birthday celebration.

Daqing Hall is the main hall of the palace. It is a place for celebrations. Its palace is vast and can accommodate tens of thousands of people to celebrate together. Although there are many people today, it is not very crowded.

"Congratulations to the Empress on her birthday, and wish her to be as blessed as the East China Sea and as long as the South Mountain." All the princes and princes came to celebrate their birthdays thousands. Empress Zheng was very happy and asked them to give up the gift with a smile.

Empress Xiansu Zheng: Born in Kaifeng in the third year of Yuanfeng (1080), she was the maid of Empress Xiang in Qinsheng Sheng, and Zhao Ji ascended the throne and was named Xian Concubine, and later the imperial concubine of the Later Jin Concubine. In October of the fourth year of Daguan (1110), she gave birth to Zhao Ji one son and three daughters, but her son died early, leaving only three daughters by her side.

The eldest princess Zhao Yupan is the queen's biological child. She supports her mother and returns the gift to the person who pays birthday wishes.

"Congratulations to the Empress on her birthday, and wish her to be as blessed as the East China Sea and as long as the South Mountain." Zhao Jinnu, Zhao Fujin and Zhao Yuanzhu were unique and pushed a small cart up. This cart is different from the others. It is 4 feet tall, with four petite wheels underneath, and a platform above it.

There is a huge round cake with 8 layers on the platform. This cake is red. If you dare to send a white cake in the Song Dynasty, you will probably be beheaded and displayed directly.

9 is the most popular number, usually used by the official. This 8-layer cake is decorated with a wide range of fruits. These fruits are arranged in various forms, competing for beauty, which is very attractive.

"Second sister, what is this? It looks so exquisite." Queen Zheng was very happy. Her words also asked everyone's voice, and everyone was waiting to listen to their answers.

Zhao Jinnu hasn't spoken yet. Zhao Yuanzhu has already said first: "Grandma, this is the newly launched birthday cake of the Zhuangyuan Building, mainly for celebrating birthdays. This is what we personally asked them to customize. I'll cut the cake for the nun."

Zhao Yuanzhu picked up a slender steel knife. For this opportunity, she practiced several times, but the cuts were all the same profit and the size was very suitable.

After Zhao Yuanzhu was cut, it was placed on a plate, and Zhao Jinnu and Zhao Fujin were used as porters and distributed to everyone.

The first part is of course dedicated to his father, and the second part is to the birthday star Empress Zheng, and then to the concubines, sisters and brothers. Those civil and military ministers can’t enjoy the benefits of the princess.

"Well, this is good!" The sweet and glutinous cake made Zhao Ji and Empress Zheng smile. Empress Zheng smiled and said, "This top scholar building is really not simple. They were very popular some time ago, and the whole Kaifeng caused a sensation. It is said that some delicacies are even better than those in our palace."

"I have heard of this. Yuanzhu has praised me a lot." Zhao Ji suddenly remembered and said, "This top scholar building was opened by Gao Chong, the top scholar in Kewu today?"

"Yes! Daddy, didn't you let him be responsible for this celebration? He has a few small gifts to present to Daddy and the Lady. This is indeed suitable for viewing after dark. Don't be too surprised later!"

Zhao Ji looked outside. Although it was already the hour of You, the sun had not yet set completely.

"Okay! Then let's wait and see what else he can surprise?" Zhao Ji was very excited. Not only because of the delicious food today, but also because of this Gao Pet a few days ago, he had a fortune of 1 million yuan.

Needless to mention the money, the treasures that have been passed down from generation to generation were collected in Xuanhe Building, which made his collections add several heavyweight treasures.

After the sunset, the sky soon darkened, and a red light building hung in the palace. Zhao Yuanzhu's eyes lit up and said, "Dad, my grandmother, please move to Xuande Gate."

Zhao Ji laughed and said, "Okay! I'm still a little impatient! Let's go with me to Xuande Gate and see if there are any surprises?"

Everyone came to Xuande Gate and found that there seemed to be many people in the distance. There were still some things on the ground.

"Sister Jiu, is this the surprise you said? I didn't see it again!" Zhao Ji was in a good mood and joked at his daughter.

"Dad, wait a moment. The noise is a bit loud. Everyone covers their ears first." The three sisters Zhao Yuanzhu began to distribute cotton balls to everyone, so that everyone could block their ears.

Seeing that everyone was almost ready, Zhao Yuanzhu lit it with fireworks in her hand and shook it three times in the darkness.

The bright color of the fireworks in Zhao Yuanzhu's hand attracted everyone's attention. They didn't pay attention to the fact that someone ran up to ignite the lead with a torch.

There was a loud "Boom!", so many people were not prepared at all, and they were so scared that they almost squatted on the ground. Even Queen Zheng and others were disappointed, screamed and fled to Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji was not a brave person, and he almost sat on the ground; but then a loud noise in the sky freed him. The gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the sky, and Kaifeng, which was night, was awakened suddenly.

"Wow—" After a huge amazement, there were a series of praises. "What is this, this is really something? Is it the treasure that is shining innocently?"

"Dong!Dong!Dong!" A series of dull sounds really made the paper windows of the palace rustling.

Several huge fireworks suddenly bloomed in the sky, and Kaifeng City suddenly turned into daylight. Huge fireworks of various colors and shapes appeared above everyone's heads.
