Emperor Qianwu smiled and pretended to be profound: "If I don't know about such terrible things in Daqian, why should I be the emperor of Daqian?"
Li Changfeng looked at Emperor Qianwu in disbelief, full of disbelief.
How come the cheap emperor father even knows about muskets?
You know, the musket had just been developed not long ago. He was the only one in the world who had control over it, and there was no other weapon. There were only a handful of people who knew about it.
Where did Emperor Qianwu know this?
Is it possible that there are people from Emperor Qianwu in Baishi City?
It shouldn't be. Li Changfeng asked himself that he had managed Baishi City so flawlessly that even if Dongchang's spies entered, they were easily caught.
If Emperor Qianwu really placed people in Baishi City, there was no way he wouldn't know about it.
This means that the only people who leaked the information were those who knew about the muskets.
Nowadays, apart from him, the only people who know about the musket are Zhang Haihui, Liang Liu, Zhao Yong, and a group of researchers from the Research Institute headed by Liang Dafu.
First of all, the scientific researchers can rule it out at the first time, because the musket was produced by several scientific researchers headed by Liang Dafu. It is unlikely that the scientific researchers of other research categories will know about it, and the scientific researchers who went to Huangfu will not know about it. .
The most important point is that each of these scientific researchers are all scientific madmen. He has lured scientific researchers to go to heaven and earth again and again, but none of these scientific researchers have any interest at all.
As for wealth, Li Changfeng considers himself quite generous. As long as relevant projects are developed, he will not be stingy with money, but these scientific researchers are not interested in money either.
So after the scientific researchers were eliminated, only Zhang Haihui, Liang Liu, and Zhao Yong remained.
Zhang Haihui and Liang Liu are the chief and deputy commanders of Baishi City's defense, so they are naturally qualified to contact them.
Zhao Yong manages internal affairs and is equally qualified.
Li Changfeng recalled that Emperor Qianwu, Gao Dali and Gao Dali came to Baishi City for the first time. They were as surprised as Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. They were even tricked by him into going to the heaven and earth to videotape and take photos.
Obviously, Emperor Qianwu only knew the prosperity of Baishi City for the first time at that time, and Zhang Haihui and the others had been in Baishi City all the time, so it was obviously impossible for them to have contact with Emperor Qianwu.
Therefore, if the person who leaked relevant information must have had a lot of contact with Emperor Qianwu at that time.
Zhao Yong only led the interview for a while, and there was basically no contact after that.
Deputy Commander Liang Liu had less contact.
As for the leader Zhang Haihui...
Li Changfeng recalled that Lao Zhang seemed to have had personal contact with Emperor Qianwu, and followed him to Huangfu and lived in Changqing Palace.
No matter from which aspect, it seems to be the most likely to leak the news.
But, if it was Lao Zhang, why would he leak the news?
Li Changfeng has great trust in Zhang Haihui, because he has been by his side all these years, and he is also an old man who has led Baishi City to new heights. He has even risked his own life several times for him. He can be said to be a partner who has been through life and death together. Otherwise, he would have It is impossible for him to become the main commander of Baishi City.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for Zhang Haihui to betray him.
But no matter from any aspect, Zhang Haihui is the person who is most suitable for leaking the news.
Li Changfeng is so smart, otherwise he would not have been able to completely master Baishi City in less than ten years after passing through the soul. He also turned Baishi City into an iron barrel. Even Emperor Qianwu didn't know about it in the past ten years. His wisdom is evident. .
It's just that he has a relatively bad personality, doesn't like trouble very much, and doesn't want to think about many things.
Li Changfeng looked directly at Emperor Qianwu and said calmly: "Father, I didn't expect Zhang Haihui to leak the news about the musket to you."
Emperor Qianwu was shocked. He didn't expect Li Changfeng to guess it. However, the so-called emperor was indifferent to emotions and anger. He smiled lightly and said: "You think it's him."
Li Changfeng secretly sighed, he was worthy of being the person who could overthrow the previous dynasty and pacify the world. Emperor Qianwu's specious words could definitely lead others to think of other aspects.
That's him, who traveled through time from modern times.
But he knew it was Zhang Haihui, because he could guess from the unconcealed shock of Gao Dali next to him that it was Zhang Haihui.
Li Changfeng felt depressed. He didn't understand why Lao Zhang betrayed him, and he was not in such a good mood.
We must go back and ask Zhang Haihui about this matter.
Emperor Qianwu looked at his face and sighed in his heart, because he felt that Jiuzi had confirmed that it was Zhang Haihui. It was really a terrible wisdom. What made him angry was that he was so smart but didn't want to make progress.
He changed the topic: "Both artillery and muskets are important weapons of the country. The power of artillery can crush evil beasts with one blow, no less than the full blow of a third-grade young master. Although the power of muskets is far inferior to that of artillery, it is better than It is easy to control and can be mastered by ordinary soldiers. It is quite powerful and can be easily killed by ordinary warriors without paying attention."
"I want to equip the entire army with such a magical weapon. This matter is of great importance. You should take it seriously, do you understand?"
Since he was honest, Emperor Qianwu did not hide his ambition at all, hoping to equip the entire Daqian army.
"My son knows!"
Li Changfeng had to sigh at Emperor Qianwu's sharp vision. It would be fine if it was artillery, but the convenience of muskets could also be seen at a glance. Equipping the entire army was clearly to create a modern army. Then it would not be a matter of killing these people randomly. The world?
At the same time, a bold idea came to his mind.
Since Emperor Qianwu wanted to equip the entire army with artillery and muskets, wouldn't he have the opportunity to become an arms dealer?
Arms dealers have always been people who make a lot of money.
Especially doing business with a dynasty, it is exciting just thinking about it. When the time comes, I will definitely kill Emperor Qianwu!
The more Li Changfeng thought about it, the more excited he became. Wouldn't he become the richest man in Daqian in no time?
At this moment, Emperor Qianwu suddenly snorted coldly: "I am suddenly a little curious. You have already developed powerful weapons such as artillery and guns. Although you said before that the technology is not yet mature and can easily explode. . But this is sophistry. If you reported it to me, if I knew about it, I would definitely not stop you from continuing your research. But you have no intention of reporting it at all. If I hadn't gone to Baishi City, I'm afraid. I didn’t know that Baishi City contained such an important weapon to control the country all my life. Could it be that I have thoughts of rebellion?”
"If you can't give me a reasonable explanation today, I won't be able to spare you."
At the end of the sentence, his voice suddenly became colder, giving off a strong sense of imperial oppression.
If ordinary people heard such words, they would definitely be scared out of their wits. After all, once such a crime is confirmed, it will be a death penalty, and there will be no room for maneuver.
"Father, please listen to your quibbles. No, listen to your explanation!" Li Changfeng quickly spoke. How could Emperor Qianwu think that he was rebelling?
It was quite a headache for the Cheap Emperor's father to actually come back to pursue the things he had concealed and failed to report. He had managed to fool him just now, but he didn't expect to come back now. Naturally, he couldn't deal with Emperor Qianwu the same way he dealt with Zhang Haihui and the others.
Because Emperor Qianwu was not so easy to fool.
Emperor Qianwu sneered and said, "I want to hear your excuses?"
Li Changfeng had a headache and said: "Father, why do you think that I want to rebel? I stay in a barren place like Baishi City, surrounded by mountains. Even if I rebel, I will not choose to stay there." Ah. With your spies all over the world, have you ever seen anyone related to your son and minister appearing in other places?"
This is true.
Emperor Qianwu had to admit that Li Changfeng basically didn't go anywhere except Baishi City. Even the Huangfu was summoned by him.
Being able to stay in Baishi City for nearly ten years, he also admired Li Changfeng's patience.
"How do you explain the concealment of artillery and muskets?"
Li Changfeng could only say honestly: "It's not that I don't want to report it, it's that I don't want to report it now."
"Why don't you want to report it now?" Emperor Qianwu was curious, as was Gao Dali next to him.
Li Changfeng rolled his eyes: "I dare to ask my father, if I hand over the artillery and muskets to my father now, do you know how you plan to arrange your affairs after I return to Beijing to report on my duties next year?"
Emperor Qianwu frowned and said: "Both artillery and muskets are important weapons of the country. As the person who developed such important weapons of the country, I will naturally reuse you, keep you in the capital, and even arrange for you to be in an important position in the court. Otherwise, the news will spread. , will surely chill the hearts of all the talented people in the world.”
"In this case, I don't want to report it before returning to the capital to report on my duties." Li Changfeng shrugged, "My son has no intention of taking up an important position in the court, let alone staying in the capital. I just want to stay in Baishi City and be comfortable all my life. I am living a humble life, so I just want to hide it for the time being and not report it until I return to Beijing next year to report on my work, and then report it to my father."
If you need to confess, just confess. He has no intention of staying in the capital anyway.
Li Changfeng is very clear that he is a person who likes to show off.
Baishi City is so great. You can find everything you want, including food, drink, prostitution, and gambling. It is much better than other places. It is built like a paradise and is also shocked by artillery.
When I stay in Baishi City, I only need to sleep until I wake up naturally every day, and bring two, oh no, plus Xu Feng'er's three beautiful little maids. Every day, I can either listen to music, walk around, or eat and drink, and feel comfortable. One day passed and there was no need to struggle at all.
Emperor Qianwu understood what Li Changfeng meant. After returning to Beijing to report on his work, it was basically determined. Without any obvious political achievements, Li Changfeng would most likely return to Baishi City to serve as the city lord, so he planned to discuss this matter after returning to Beijing to report on his work. thing.
But Emperor Qianwu still frowned: "With your talents and the artillery and muskets, I will give you an important position. If you hold the position for a few years, you may be no worse than your other brothers. It is not impossible to become the prince. Don’t you really want to become the emperor?”
These words are already very straightforward.
Logically speaking, Emperor Qianwu would not ask such a straightforward question, and he had always known Li Changfeng's views on the throne.
But the emperor always likes to be suspicious. After all, he still doesn't believe that Li Changfeng is willing to give up the fight for the throne.
He is the master of the whole world. Have you not seen how incompatible Li Chengye, Li Shou and Li Ji are in fighting for the position of prince?
He had to ask Li Changfeng to confirm it personally.
Gao Dali also looked at Li Changfeng nervously, knowing in his heart what His Majesty's meaning and purpose were.
I am still suspicious of His Highness the Ninth Prince.
Li Changfeng could also see that Emperor Qianwu was suspicious of him, and he rolled his eyes in disgust: "What's the point of being an emperor? He goes to bed later than a dog and gets up earlier than a chicken. I sleep until three o'clock in the morning and wake up naturally. I can still take care of him." I would go out with my beautiful maid, and flirt with my natal women from time to time. I would listen to music and watch pole dancing. If that doesn't work, I could still try some virtues, or watch a movie. It's so cool and comfortable. Why do I have to find fault on my own? I deserve a throne that is worse than that of a dog!"
Although he knew that Li Changfeng was bluntly saying that he wanted to give up the throne, Emperor Qianwu felt so desolate that he was worse than a dog.
It was one thing to know that Li Changfeng was cool and unrestrained, but when he stepped on him and praised himself, Emperor Qianwu felt very angry. He suddenly stood up and took out the Seven Wolf King's belt: "You bastard, what do you mean by this? You think I'm not as good as a dog." No? It’s against you!"
I didn’t really want to write this paragraph at first, but I personally feel that writing it this way will more clearly establish part of the character of Emperor Qianwu’s suspicion. And I always think that the emperor’s jealous temper will not stop because of one or two things about Li Changfeng. Do not doubt, because some habits are engraved in your bones and you will do them subconsciously.
For example, I have obsessive-compulsive disorder. When I go out, even if I know it is closed and people around me tell me again and again that the door is locked, I still pull the door handle again and again to confirm. If it is really closed, it will even reopen and be closed again.
I don’t know if there are any readers with the same obsessive-compulsive disorder. Anyway, I have had this kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder for several years.
It is said to be obsessive-compulsive disorder, but in fact it is also a habit.
The power of habit is powerful, so I will continue to write more about Emperor Qianwu's suspicion here. Of course, there will not be many such suspicions about Li Changfeng later.
There is another update in the evening, also with 3,000 words.
By the way, the current updates are two updates per day in the early stage, and one update is 3,000 words. After I save more manuscripts, I plan to update three times a day later, but my hand speed has not been fully improved yet, so please readers Sir, please forgive me.
Also, "Low-key D Life" brother, it was updated before 6 o'clock now, remember your reward, hahahaha!
