Chapter 253 The truth about the collapse of the previous dynasty
Royal study room.
Emperor Qianwu comforted him and said: "Changfeng, the reform of the imperial examination system cannot be completed overnight. It can be done slowly."
Li Changfeng took a deep breath to adjust his emotions and said with a smile: "I know, it's not that there are no results at all. At least a scientific research institution can be established."
"It's best if you think this way. You are responsible for promoting this matter. I fully support it." Emperor Qianwu smiled and changed the topic: "Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Li Changfeng sat carelessly on the chair with his legs crossed, waved his hands and said nonchalantly: "What kind of reward do you want? We are all a family, so we can't talk about it."
It's not that Li Changfeng doesn't want rewards, the key is that in his opinion Emperor Qianwu can't offer any rewards that can tempt him.
Speaking of money, the combined internal funds of Da Qian's treasury and Emperor Qian Wu's were not as large as his private treasury, so he really didn't like those three melons and two dates.
As for official positions, he has no interest at all.
Wouldn’t it be nice for him to be a happy prince?
Why bother scheming with those old fritters in the officialdom?
So it is better to refuse Emperor Qianwu's reward and let Emperor Qianwu owe it. Even if he does something messy in the future, he will have a chance to balance his merits and demerits.
The smile on Emperor Qianwu's face became even brighter.
Li Changfeng's words were very useful to him.
This is what a family should be like, sharing the worries of the father and not taking credit or being arrogant.
However, it is the rule of the king to clearly distinguish rewards and punishments. There are no rewards for refined salt and winter vegetable planting. Now that Li Changfeng has made such a great contribution, it would be unreasonable for him not to reward him.
Emperor Qianwu insisted: "I'm afraid the money in Daqian's treasury is not as much as your private treasury, so the silver reward will be waived. I think I will reward you..."
"Stop it! Stop it, father!" Li Changfeng heard that Emperor Qianwu wanted to give him an official position, and quickly waved his hand, "I don't want to become an official in the court!"
Emperor Qianwu's face darkened: "You brat, why are you so ignorant? It's for your own good to be an official in the court. You are so smart and talented, you can't just hang around all day long, right?"
Li Changfeng yelled at Qu: "Father, what are you talking about? Why are you so stupid?"
As he spoke, Li Changfeng stretched out a finger.
"It's already the first month of the year, and spring is not far away. Sweet potatoes will be ready for spring sowing soon. Isn't this a major event that affects hundreds of millions of people?"
After hearing this, Emperor Qianwu's expression softened slightly.
Li Changfeng raised his second finger.
"The range of the artillery can be increased, the muskets can also be improved in many ways, and the lethality of grenades can also be enhanced. Do these things do not require my subordinates to keep an eye on them?"
Emperor Qianwu nodded imperceptibly.
Li Changfeng raised his third finger.
"And do you know about the steam engine father? That will bring Daqian into the industrial age, greatly improve production efficiency, and achieve leapfrog development. Doesn't this require investing time and energy?"
Although Emperor Qianwu didn't quite understand the professional terms Li Changfeng spoke of, he still showed an expectant look, which sounded very powerful.
Li Changfeng looked serious: "Father, think about it, how can I still have time to become an official?"
Emperor Qianwu could not refute any of the three points he made. He could only nod his head and warned: "These are all related to the destiny of the country. You can't slack off!"
Li Changfeng patted his chest: "Father, please don't worry."
Emperor Qianwu smiled, suddenly changed the subject, stared directly into Li Changfeng's eyes and said: "Changfeng, Changfeng, I really didn't expect you to hide so deep, you are not even the god general of the barbarian temple. My opponent, what are your intentions in keeping this matter secret from me?"
Li Changfeng had already thought of his words on the road.
He let out a long sigh and said: "Father, it's not that I have to hide it from you, it's that I can't hide it from you!"
"Oh, how do you say this?"
"Do you know the old monster father outside Dingyang City who later took action?"
"Is it related to him?"
"Of course! He is Erchen's master. He said that if Erchen showed his strength and exposed his identity, he would destroy him. What can Erchen do?"
Emperor Qianwu frowned and looked thoughtful.
After a moment he asked: "Where is he from?"
Li Changfeng nodded: "I don't know, he won't reveal it."
Emperor Qianwu thought for a moment and then said, "Tell me in detail what happened between that old man and you."
Li Changfeng nodded: "Yes, Father, we have to start talking about it ten years ago..."
Next, Li Changfeng told half-truths and half-false stories about the process of getting to know and get along with the old monster. For example, the old monster liked to eat the flesh and blood of evil beasts and other traceable details.
The main thing is reality.
With the old monster's temperament, he will definitely not have any dealings with Emperor Qianwu. Whatever he says depends on his mouth.
Emperor Qianwu had no doubt about this.
After all, existences such as extraordinary beings are too mysterious, and it is understandable that their personalities are a little weird.
Li Changfeng said a lot, but he did not mention his unique way to improve his strength.
This is his secret and he will not reveal it to anyone.
Finally, Li Changfeng said helplessly: "So there is nothing I can do about it. Moreover, Erchen's strength was only a first-class grandmaster not long ago, and he has just been promoted recently."
Emperor Qianwu did not doubt that he was there, so he changed the topic and said: "Changfeng, do you know why I, Dagan, conquered the world of Dafeng with overwhelming force?"
Li Changfeng shook his head: "I don't know."
"The barbarians have temples, but do you know what I have in store?"
"I don't know, Father, if you have something to say, can you just say it? Don't be so titillating." Li Changfeng became interested.
Emperor Qianwu took a deep breath and said: "Changfeng, listen to the next words in your ears and remember them in your heart. Don't say them nonsense. Do you understand?"
Li Changfeng nodded: "I understand, please tell me quickly!"
"Back then, people said that Emperor Dafeng was fatuous, but that was not the case. He was just..."
Emperor Qianwu began to ramble.
Li Changfeng became more and more surprised as he listened.
It turns out that all the countries in the world are secretly supported by the power of the Immortal Sect.
Behind the barbarians is the temple. This is something everyone in the world knows.
The person behind Daqian is very mysterious and usually very low-key, it is the immortal sect named Bai Yujing.
The people in these immortal sects are all terrifying beings who are superior to martial arts. They have great supernatural powers such as flying in the clouds and mists, moving mountains and filling seas.
For thousands of years, these immortal sects have been secretly manipulating the change of dynasties. Emperors of all generations are very afraid of them and want to eradicate them, but there is no way.
When Dafeng was overthrown, it was actually what Dafeng did that made Bai Yujing displeased, which made the eight great families secretly support Emperor Qianwu in provoking a dispute and destroying Dafeng.
Li Changfeng exclaimed repeatedly in his heart.
There is such a legendary thing as the Immortal Sect in this world!
They have been secretly controlling the world.
Li Changfeng couldn't help but think of the relationship between the Barbarian Royal Court and the Barbarian Temple, which just confirmed this statement.
The existence of old monsters that do not conform to common sense also proves this point.
Bai Yujing!
What kind of existence is this?
Thinking of this, Li Changfeng asked: "What on earth did the Dafeng Dynasty do to make a transcendent existence like Bai Yujing want to destroy it?"
When asked about this matter, Emperor Qianwu couldn't help showing a look of admiration and said with emotion: "Because Emperor Dafeng tried to destroy Bai Yujing!"
