Even today, many people in the court still believe that firearms are an attempt to steal the power of heaven and earth, and sooner or later, they will be counterattacked!
Coincidentally, there was a big explosion during the Qinling Mountains expedition last time!
Therefore, in the words of those people, the mountain peak in the Qinling Mountains that was almost collapsed was a divine punishment sent down by God because he was dissatisfied with the Firearms Camp! Otherwise, other than gods, what other power can almost flatten a mountain?
Therefore, since then, these people have used this opportunity to write letters again and again, strongly requesting the emperor to ban the firearms camp and disband the firearms workshops, so that the war can return to the original state of everyone wielding large blades and beating each other.
What makes Xiao Han even more dumbfounded is that such a ridiculous statement can actually attract the approval of many people! And among those people, there are many moral gurus such as Kong Yingda, Li Ziyun, Linghu Defen and so on!
Once these great scholars, who had great influence both in the court and among the scholars, assisted them, those who opposed the firearms camp became more and more radical.
Fortunately, the current emperor is Emperor Wu Li Shimin, who is good at fighting and loves fighting!
If it were Emperor Wen who had a weak temperament, he would have been instigated by these stubborn people to cancel the firearms camp.
But even though the emperor's opinion is now so clear, he has left all the memorials submitted by these people unpublished.
However, these people showed no sign of defeat at all! Their eyes were still fixed on the firearms camp, waiting to grab its pigtails and kill it in one fell swoop!
Xiao Han was not only angry but also helpless towards these imbecile fools.
These days! Bad people who do bad things with evil intentions are not scary! Because when you meet such bad people, no matter what means you use to deal with them, others will only applaud you and will never say anything bad about you.
What I am afraid of is meeting an old fool like Kong Yingda! He is clearly doing stupid things to destroy the Great Wall, but he still stubbornly believes that he is right! He is the embodiment of truth!
What's even more disgusting is that behind them, there is a group of people who don't know the truth, applauding these old fools!
Perhaps, in the eyes of these foolish men and women, as long as they have high morals and a good reputation, everything they do is right!
A scoundrel like Xiao Han, who has such a bad reputation and is a notorious street in Chang'an, is wrong in everything he does. Even the army must be a rogue army. It is better to ban him as soon as possible!
Every time he heard such bastard words, Xiao Han wished that Bai Qi would pick these people out one by one and line them up in a row. He would slap them all the way and then back again. He would never stop until he slapped them into pig heads.
!
Not wanting to think about these annoying and disgusting things, Xiao Han waited until Liu Hongji finished washing up briefly, and then immediately went with him to go to the emperor to apologize.
After all, there is no problem in hiding it from others, but the consequences of hiding it from Xiao Lizi are not very good. It is easy for him to misunderstand, and for the most powerful person in the world to misunderstand him. Just thinking about it makes people feel uncomfortable.
Following the guidance of the soldiers in the firearms camp, the two of them headed north, but before they found Little Lizi, they met the little eunuch from just afar.
"Why are you here again?!"
Xiao Han's sharp eyes saw that familiar face first, and he felt a little angry in his heart, and his face also darkened!
Damn it! I am also a prince after all! I said nice words and bribed you, a dead eunuch. This is enough to promote you. What? I want to slap you on the nose?
However, what surprised Xiao Han and Liu Hongji was that when the young eunuch saw the two of them, he didn't ask about the fire just now! Instead, he rushed over like crazy and shouted to the two of them from a distance:
"Master Xiaohou is not good, Master Xiaohou is not good!"
"You're in trouble, your whole family is in trouble!" Hearing the little eunuch's cry, Xiao Han, who was originally unhappy, almost got angry! I'm standing here properly, how could this happen?
Oh no?
"It's not that you are bad, it's your Majesty..." The little eunuch ran over panting at this time. Seeing Xiao Han's dark face, he realized that he had made a mistake and quickly changed his words: "Your Majesty..."
"What! Your Majesty is in trouble?!" Liu Hongji's eyes widened, like two bells: "Why is your Majesty in trouble!"
"No! It's..." The little eunuch was so anxious that he almost cried. He talked and gestured for a long time before finally expressing what he wanted to say: "Your Majesty just received an urgent report from Shandong! It said that the Yellow River burst there.
Got it!"
"Oh, it's the Yellow River that's in trouble, not His Majesty..." Xiao Han and Liu Hongji felt relieved when they heard this. They were about to breathe a sigh of relief, but suddenly they felt something was wrong!
"Right? What did you say? The Yellow River burst?"
Looking at the little eunuch with difficulty, at this moment, the four words "Yellow River Breaks" were like a thunderbolt from the blue, hitting the hearts of Xiao Han and Liu Hongji heavily! The two people's minds were filled with chaos.
Even what the little eunuch said next was hard to understand!
The Yellow River bursts!
This would have been a catastrophic disaster that would have shocked the world in later generations, let alone the relatively backward Tang Dynasty!
In fact, it is not unusual for the Yellow River to burst.
According to historical records, the Yellow River burst hundreds of times from the time of Dayu's flood control to the period of Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty! As a result, millions of people in the lower reaches were killed and injured! Among them, countless people were displaced due to floods!
Among them, in the third year of Wang Mang's reign, the Yellow River changed its course and floods ravaged the Bian Canal, which lasted nearly 60 years!
It wasn't until Wang Jing took the order to regulate the Yellow River and mobilized hundreds of thousands of migrant workers to repair all the river channels from Henan to Shandong that the Yellow River remained stable for six hundred years!
Now that six hundred years have passed, will this mother river, which has nurtured the people of the Central Plains for countless years, turn into an evil dragon again and wreak havoc on the children she has nurtured?
"How could the Yellow River burst?" His heart felt like it was falling into an ice cave! Liu Hongji, who couldn't help but tremble all over, grabbed the little eunuch, held him up in the air, and yelled at him angrily: "Where is your majesty! Your majesty?"
Where!"
"Your Majesty has returned to Chang'an!"
The little eunuch was lifted up in the air by Liu Hongji. His feet kept kicking, but he couldn't find any place to use his strength. He could only cry and said: "Your Majesty also asked me to inform Mr. Xiao and General Liu.
Let you return to Chang'an immediately!"
"Plop..."
Hearing this, Liu Hongji finally let go of his hand. The unsuspecting little eunuch fell from the air and sat down on the frozen ground. He shed tears on the spot because of the pain.
However, he did not dare to accuse Liu Hongji. He could only endure the pain and gritted his teeth and said, "General Liu, Lord Xiao, it is better to return to Chang'an as soon as possible!"
