Time passed, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye. Lin Feng basically took root in Luoyang, pushed Wang Mazi to the forefront, and established himself as king, with the reign name Yonghui, the name Tang Gaozong, and his real name Li Zhi.
The news spread very quickly, and within a few days, it reached the ears of Li Chengqian in Kyoto. When he heard at court that his brother Li Zhi did not die, but came back to proclaim himself king and conquered Luoyang, Li Chengqian was
Long Yan was furious.
Above the imperial court, Li Chengqian was sitting on the dragon chair, and the ministers were standing on both sides. At this time, Cheng Yaojin stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think we should send troops to attack, otherwise, your majesty will be weakened!"
"Your Majesty, I don't think this method is correct. I think we should first find out whether this person is Li Zhi. As we all know, the former emperor originally appointed Li Zhi as the prince. Although he has been missing for many years and has lost his throne, but
I think I can recruit An back and let him be crowned Prince!"
"Present, what do you mean by this? Do you think the emperor should abdicate?" At this time, Cheng Yaojin shouted angrily.
The ministers immediately started talking, some supported the expedition, some remained silent, and some supported the words presented.
"Asshole, I am the True Dragon Emperor, how can I let others declare themselves kings and go out to war?" Li Chengqian Long Yan was furious.
"Your Majesty, who do you think is more appropriate to send out on the expedition?" Cheng Yaojin started.
"Father Cheng, I wonder how the production of Shenwu cannon is going!" Li Chengqian asked.
Speaking of Shenwu cannons, after Cheng Yaojin came back with two Shenwu cannons last time, it was exactly what Lin Feng said. Not only did Li Chengqian not blame Cheng Yaojin, he also rewarded Cheng Yaojin heavily and immediately sent Cheng Yaojin to supervise him.
The manufacture of Shenwu cannon.
"Your Majesty, the Shenwu cannon is being manufactured. We have already manufactured two of them. However, they are still far behind the two that the old minister collected. I don't know how they made them!" Cheng Yaojin started.
road.
"Father Cheng, I wonder how far the range and power of the missile we created is?"
"Your Majesty, the driving force of our Shenwu cannon is gunpowder and the shells are iron eggs. The general range is about one kilometer!"
"It's about one kilometer, but the one captured can have a range of about three kilometers, and their technology is much more advanced than ours. By the way, Father Cheng, have we dug out the energy source they use?"
"Not yet, but I believe that it won't be long before we can dig it up. Now we are trying to figure out how to make a divine cannon like them!"
"Father Cheng, let me tell the world that I will pay a lot of money to hire a skilled general. If he can build a powerful cannon like the other man, I will reward him with thousands of acres of fertile land and ten thousand taels of gold!"
"Yes, I will make arrangements now, but as for Li Zhi..."
"Father Cheng, I know that you used to represent Li Zhi as your son, but don't forget that Li Zhi who is now self-proclaimed king is not necessarily real. Moreover, I am already the emperor. Of course, if that Li Zhi is real
, I would rather give up the throne!"
"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. Since your reign, the country has been peaceful and the people are safe, and the Tang Dynasty is even more prosperous. You are the best emperor to be. If that Li Zhi is true, I think you can give him Luoyang, whatever you want.
Just give him the title of King of Side by Side!"
Li Chengqian nodded and thought to himself, it seems that Father Cheng is sincere to me, but he still has old feelings in his heart. If Li Zhi is true, he must get rid of it to avoid future troubles.
"Your Majesty, please listen to Father Cheng and send someone to verify the authenticity!"
"If there is something going on, go ahead, if there is nothing going on, leave the court!"
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
After the ministers left, Li Chengqian called Cheng Yaojin, left a conversation, and came to the backyard. Li Chengqian had already taken off his imperial robe. After sitting down, he poured a cup of tea for Cheng Yaojin. "Father Cheng, please sit down!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty! I wonder what's the matter with Your Majesty leaving this old minister behind?"
"Father Cheng, I have a connection in my heart. If Li Zhi is true, tell me, should I give up the throne to Li Zhi? After all, the late emperor made Li Zhi the crown prince!"
"Your Majesty, do you want me to tell you the truth or a lie?"
"Father Cheng, it's okay to speak frankly!"
"In this case, the veteran is bold!" Cheng Yaojin paused and continued: "The veteran believes that the emperor must never give up the throne to Li Zhi. After all, the emperor has been in power for more than thirty years, and everyone in the world has already
If you are used to it, if you suddenly change the emperor, I am afraid that the world will not recognize it, and we even don’t know whether this Li Zhi has the talent to govern the country."
"What Father Cheng means is that if Li Zhi is real and has the talent to govern the country, I should give up the throne to him?"
"No, this position must not be given away. If Li Zhi is real and has the talent to govern the country, just grant him a throne at the highest level, and don't even grant him the title of "King of Side by Side"!
"Then why did Father Cheng say that to the emperor?"
"That's to silence those ministers!"
"Haha, Father Cheng, I am very happy. Now I have one thing on my mind, and that is the Shenwu Cannon. If Father Cheng can produce the Shenwu Cannon, then my empire will be more stable!"
"Old minister, I will serve my whole life till my death!"
"Well, I'm tired. Father Cheng, please step back!"
"Old minister, please retire!"
After walking out of the backyard and the palace, Cheng Yaojin's back was soaked with cold sweat. It was really dangerous and mysterious just now. If he said the wrong thing, he might have been shot through by thousands of arrows. It seemed that he should contact him as soon as possible.
Like-minded people should go to Li Zhi, Cheng Yaojin thought, and quickly returned to his house.
After Cheng Yaojin left, Li Chengqian shouted, "Come out." Immediately, a man in tight clothes came out and knelt on one knee: "Your Majesty!"
"Do you think what Cheng Yaojin said is reliable? Doesn't he have a hint of rebellion?"
"Your Majesty, your vision is very vicious. As you said, Cheng Yaojin is loyal to you, but he misses his old feelings. I believe that as long as the emperor controls him well, Cheng Yaojin will not rebel!"
"Humph, you must be on guard against others. You send people to keep an eye on Cheng Yaojin. If he really doesn't do anything, I will believe him. After all, he is also a veteran of the Three Dynasties!"
"Yes, my subordinates will do it now!"
"Go for it!"
Immediately, the man in the tight-fitting suit waved his right hand, and dozens of people rushed out from behind the rockery, holding crossbows in their hands, and left quickly. This was really a walk into the tiger's den. If you were not bitten to death, you would be scared to death.
, no wonder Cheng Yaojin was covered in cold sweat!
Another half month passed, and Cheng Yaojin didn't do anything on the surface. He just went to supervise the manufacturing of the Shenwu cannon every day, and informed the world that he was recruiting skilled generals. The people who monitored him also reported truthfully to the tight-fitting suit every day.
person, and he finally reported it to Li Chengqian.
Everything was normal on Lin Feng's side. Li Huaiguang also recruited a lot of soldiers again, reaching as many as 200 million. After all, with the support of Lin Feng, the military salary was twice that paid by Li Chengqian, so the recruitment was very fast.
