After hearing what Li Changkong said, Jia Taisui snorted sadly and said: "If there is a chance, I must let the Jin people taste the power of my silver halberd!"
"Taking advantage of others' danger is really like a rat!"
"It's just the art of war. We have to be able to afford to lose before we can win back." Li Changkong said with a faint smile.
Failure is not terrible, what is terrible is not being able to admit your failure.
…
After coming out of the palace, Li Changkong did not return home immediately. Instead, he went to the Ministry of Industry with the decree that Prince Liu Yu had prepared for him!
In order to deal with the giant trebuchet that appeared in northern Xinjiang, he naturally had to make early plans.
His initial idea was to make a simple version of black powder to blow up giant trebuchets!
It was impossible for him to take the time to purchase the saltpeter, sulfur, charcoal and other materials he needed by himself. Naturally, he could get them directly from the Ministry of Works quickly.
After all, now is the time to race against time.
But to be honest, Li Changkong didn't have much confidence in his heart.
Without him, he was a liberal arts student in his previous life!
If you ask him to memorize history, ideology and politics, it won't be a problem.
But the preparation of black powder is obviously a bit difficult.
But fortunately, he reads a lot of novels.
He can memorize the formula of monosulfide, dinitrate, and charcoal very well, and he often uses it to quarrel with people on short video platforms.
In order to defeat the opponent, Li Changkong did a lot of relevant homework.
Li Changkong is more or less clear about theoretical knowledge.
But how to put it into practice, it means that one's eyesight suddenly goes dark and one has to cross the river by feeling the stones.
That's why he himself wasn't sure whether it could be built, so he didn't give Liu Yu and the others a guarantee!
In the next few days, Li Changkong not only withdrew a large amount of saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal from the Ministry of Industry, but also hired many old craftsmen at high prices.
As the saying goes, it is better for three cobblers to work together than to work behind closed doors.
boom!
boom!
boom!
In this way, under Li Changkong's passion, the explosions in Wulinghou Mansion could be described as one after another.
…
Three days later, the inevitable bad news finally came!
Emperor Jing Xing passed away!
When he heard the news, for some reason, Li Changkong felt his heart tremble for no reason, and then he let out a long sigh. The image of Liu Yu kneeling in front of the bed three days ago appeared in his mind and he was in pain.
This day has finally arrived.
According to the Daqian ancestral system, when the emperor dies, all civil and military officials should be dressed in plain clothes!
The new king who is about to succeed will bury the emperor in the imperial mausoleum!
The Imperial Mausoleum is the ancestral imperial mausoleum of the old Liu family, enshrining the ancestors of Daqian.
On weekdays, it is guarded by the Hidden Dragon Guard and cannot be opened unless necessary.
However, on this day, the hole was opened!
Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of officials, Prince Liu Yu, dressed in plain clothes and expressionless, walked at the forefront to deliver the bones of Emperor Jing Xing to the imperial mausoleum.
Li Changkong looked at this scene from a distance, saw Liu Yu's slightly stooped body, and also saw the deep sorrow in his eyes.
Since ancient times, birth, old age, illness and death have all been major events.
Even the royal family cannot escape this fate!
Due to internal and external troubles, a country cannot be without a king for a day, otherwise the court will also be without a master.
Therefore, Liu Yu's enthronement ceremony was also scheduled for the same day!
After Liu Yu walked out of the imperial mausoleum, he took off his plain clothes and put on a dragon robe under the leadership of Zheng Ying.
It is worth mentioning that the prince usually wears python robes, but he also wears dragon robes.
However, given his status as a prince, even if he wears a dragon robe, he can only have a four-clawed golden dragon tattooed on it!
But today’s piece has a five-clawed golden dragon tattooed on it!
It symbolizes the Ninth Five-Year Plan, the True Dragon Emperor, and the leader of the country!
Liu Yu, wearing a five-clawed golden dragon robe, came out of the imperial mausoleum and stepped onto the deer platform step by step under the watchful eyes of hundreds of officials.
When he reached the highest point, although Liu Yu still had grief in his eyes, his whole aura was completely different.
It looks extremely illustrious and majestic!
Looking from a distance, it really looks like the power of heaven!
"In these troubled times, I am causing internal and external troubles!"
"The late emperor worked hard and diligently for this purpose for decades! In the end, he died of illness on his bed. What a hard work!"
"It's all for the common people of the world!"
"However, even though the late emperor has passed away, the world is still full of strife, and Daqian is still in a state of wandering."
"I am the eldest son of the late emperor. It is my duty to step forward, comply with the people's wishes, regulate the government, and retreat from foreign enemies! Clear the world!"
"In this way, we can comfort the spirits of the late emperor and our ancestors in heaven!"
"Today, under the watchful eyes of hundreds of civil and military officials, I ascend to the sky and descend to the earth."
"In compliance with the late emperor's edict, I call myself me and respect myself as the seventh emperor of Daqian!"
"Change Yuan, Zhaowu!"
boom!
As soon as these words came out, all the courtiers couldn't help but look at each other.
You know, in the past hundred years, most of the emperors of the four countries have been named after their reign names.
In order to avoid confusion, most emperors only had one reign name throughout their reign.
So changing the Yuan is very important!
It not only represents a new era and new atmosphere, but also represents the emperor’s ideals and determination!
Everyone present will know what the word Zhaowu represents.
Therefore, everyone knew what Liu Yu was thinking.
It seems that the new emperor will never give up in the fight with the Northern Yuan and Western Jin Dynasties.
After Liu Yu ascended the throne, he did not summon Li Changkong again, presumably because he had many affairs.
Although he was called a prince before, he was only a prince!
After all, there are some things that only the emperor is qualified to know, and there are some resources that only the emperor can use.
Just like the Imperial City Division and the Hidden Dragon Guard.
There was also Ji Ling, the commander of the 50,000-strong Royal Forest Army.
All these people and things need to be transferred from the hands of Emperor Jing Xing to the hands of Liu Yu, who is now Emperor Zhaowu.
Fortunately, Li Changkong is also busy. The explosions in Wulinghou's mansion have not stopped in the past few days. Those who didn't know it thought they were celebrating happy events every day and setting off firecrackers.
And two days later, Li Zhufeng was leaving.
Compared with the last time, the farewell procession this time was bigger.
Old friends like Zhang Xun are naturally here.
Almost all the six ministers came, and even the cabinet had nearly ten ministers.
Such a lineup can basically be regarded as half a dynasty team.
This shows the great status of the Li family now!
Li Changkong didn't care about this. Facing Li Zhufeng who was about to go on an expedition, he just sighed and said, "Dad, be careful in everything."
"I asked Zhen Jian and Butler Yang to bring a lot of fast food to the boat. My son doesn't have any other skills, but he can still make his father eat better."
When Li Zhufeng heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head, and his voice became a little strange. He didn't say much, he just patted Li Changkong on the shoulder and said, "Kong'er, you have grown up."
"If you stay in the court, the pressure will be much greater than being a father."
"Be careful of everything!"
"Don't worry, Dad, the child knows."
After saying these words, the father and son looked at each other and smiled, then turned around, one went ashore and the other got on the boat.
With everyone's gaze, the ship gradually moved further and further away, and finally disappeared into the thin line between the sea and the sky.
When Li Zhufeng leaves, he needs one person to block a whole country!
