At the end of Suzaku Avenue, a magnificent black building complex made Liu Yijin swallow a gulp of saliva.
Although I had seen the Forbidden City in my previous life, I was still shocked by the huge black buildings in front of me.
The city wall, which is ten meters high, is so majestic that one gate can even run ten horses side by side. The huge wall bricks fit perfectly together. I don’t know what technology was used to water them. Not even a hair can be inserted between the gaps in the brick wall. Go in.
"This city wall was built during the previous dynasty. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the city wall was strengthened on its foundation, and it became what it is today."
Zhang Bing said with a smile: "Everyone will be deeply shocked and excited when they stand here for the first time. I was like you when I first came here."
Liu Yijin stroked the wall tiles and knocked on them a few times from time to time. The sound was clear and thick. Looking up, he saw that the entire city wall was not straight up and down, but had an upward slope. This made Liu Yijin A little surprised.
"This wall doesn't seem to go straight up and down."
Zhang Bing nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, you observe very carefully."
"This is also the main reason why the Daqian Dynasty suffered heavy losses when they attacked this imperial city."
"The ladder doesn't work at all, and the arrows it shoots can't reach the top of the city wall."
Liu Yijin asked doubtfully: "What about the catapult?"
Zhang Bing laughed: "When the Daqian Dynasty attacked here, they didn't use catapults at all, because the city wall was too thick and the catapults didn't work at all."
Liu Yijin was stunned, "What kind of technology did you use to break into the city?"
Zhang Bing smiled proudly: "Thanks to a thing invented by Emperor Daqian Gaozu at that time, black gunpowder."
"What?!" Liu Yijin was stunned.
In his impression, there is no way there is black powder in this world, and he has been here for so long, and he has never heard of black powder.
"Black gunpowder? Are you sure you used black gunpowder?"
Liu Yijin looked shocked, "Are you sure it was Gaozu who invented black gunpowder?"
Zhang Bing did not expect Liu Yijin's reaction to be so big: "There is a record in the history of Daqian. Emperor Gaozu invented a treasure that could flash a strong light and emit a dragon's roar, thus breaking through the enemy's base camp and gaining victory. The final victory.”
Liu Yijin took a breath: "What about the black gunpowder you mentioned? Why have I never heard of it?"
Zhang Bing said mysteriously: "How could such a powerful weapon be exposed so easily? I only heard that part of it was stored, but the formula was destroyed."
Damn it!
Liu Yijin resisted the urge to curse: "Why should the formula be destroyed?"
Zhang Bing said: "This is a big killer. How could the Daqian Dynasty let the formula of this thing spread? If others get it, wouldn't the Daqian Dynasty be in danger?"
Liu Yijin was so angry that he was shaking all over: "Then who else knows this formula?"
Zhang Bing scratched his head: "I don't know. Maybe the Queen Mother knows something about it. I don't know whether Your Majesty knows about it."
Grass!
Liu Yijin couldn't help but want to scold his mother: "This is a revolutionary thing. If used properly, it can completely double Daqian's national strength, and even allow Daqian to expand its territory and establish unparalleled achievements. !”
"I can make your majesty a saint king comparable to our ancestors!"
Zhang Bing saw Liu Yijin getting more and more excited as he spoke, and hurriedly said: "Master Liu, let's hurry into the city. After all, His Majesty is still waiting."
Liu Yijin followed Zhang Bing into the palace with a heavy stomach, and walked along the long and wide road to the main hall.
Hearing the murmuring voices coming from the hall, Zhang Bing asked Liu Yijin to wait outside the door, and he hurried in.
In the main hall, the empress was listening to the discussions of the courtiers, with no expression on her face.
King Su said: "Your Majesty, I believe that there should be an additional 100,000 troops at the border. Only in this way can Daxia's army be completely shocked!"
The Prime Minister shook his head and said: "Wei Chen believes that mobilizing a hundred thousand troops to go to the border will inevitably disturb the local areas and cause panic in various places. Moreover, reserve supplies must be followed in time."
"For an army of one hundred thousand, just the food needed along the way is a huge expense."
As soon as the Prime Minister said this, Xikun, the Minister of Punishment behind him, came out: "Your Majesty, I think what the Prime Minister said is reasonable. Besides, the Daxia army is just a deterrent. There has been no large-scale conflict. There is really no need to send more troops." The army is passing."
On King Su's side, Yao Yuan, Minister of War, walked out slowly: "Your Majesty, it is not too late to mobilize the army to go to the border. If war breaks out, it will definitely be a large-scale battle. Our border army currently only has 200,000 people. Even if we add more Even a strong city wall can hardly resist a sudden attack."
"So Wei Chen believes that the 100,000-strong army should set off immediately."
Xikun sneered and said: "The Ministry of War is eager to mobilize troops, so that you can make money from it!"
"That's nonsense!" Yao Yuan's face turned red: "I am a military general, and my purpose is to serve the imperial court. Unlike you, I only know how to covet glory and wealth!"
Xikun's face turned cold: "Yao Yuan, please speak clearly to me!"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, the empress frowned slightly, and just as she was about to speak, she saw Zhang Bing walking in.
"Zhang Bing!"
Zhang Bing hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Report to your majesty, Liu Yijin has brought it over."
"Oh?" The empress smiled faintly and said to the two quarreling people: "Both of you are my ministers, so there is no need to quarrel. Let's put aside the border issues first. I will introduce a very important person next. People let you know each other.”
Everyone turned to look at the palace door, wondering what kind of person Liu Yijin was.
In full view of everyone, a young man wearing a white gown and a gloomy face walked in.
This actually made everyone curious. This was the first time they saw someone with an emotion on their face.
When Liu Yijin saw people standing on both sides, they all looked at him curiously. He felt like a monkey being watched.
This made Liu Yijin's face darken involuntarily, and he quickly walked up to the empress and said, "The common man Liu Yijin has met Your Majesty."
The empress said with a smile: "The word "caomin" is inappropriate. You should say that I have met your majesty."
Liu Yijin raised his head. Above him, there was a beauty with phoenix eyes who was not angry and proud. Her handsome face was unparalleled in aura. As a superior person, she had a naturally powerful aura.
"Bold! Why don't you bow your head!" Cui Shugong, the eunuch standing nearby, was about to scold him, but the empress raised her hand to stop him: "It's okay, I once allowed Liu Yijin to go to the palace without worshiping."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Yijin said lightly, turned around, glanced left and right, and then walked directly to the prime minister on the left: "Excuse me, can you move to the side?"
This operation made Liu Yong stunned: "Boy, do you know who I am?"
Liu Yijin scratched his head: "Is it important? Am I not the deputy director of the Supervision Department? Aren't you just a minister standing here? I, the Supervision Department, supervise hundreds of officials, and you are naturally among them."
"Why, why don't you let my Supervisory Department check you?"
As soon as he said this, Liu Yong opened his mouth and simply snorted, but he remained motionless.
Liu Yijing was not angry and stood directly beside Liu Yong.
This made Xikun, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment next to him, angrily: "Bold Liu Yijin, you are just a wolf guard with no integrity. How dare you stand with the Prime Minister? How unbecoming!"
Liu Yijin glanced at him: "Who are you?"
"I am Xikun, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment!"
Liu Yijin sneered, but looked around, and finally landed on Zhang Bing, who was standing at the back: "Master Zhang, come here."
Liu Yijin's operation shocked everyone. All the ministers looked at each other, not knowing what this guy was doing.
Eunuch Cui Shugong was about to scold him, but the empress waved her hand to stop him.
Seeing that the empress was speechless, everyone simply did not dare to reprimand her.
Zhang Bing was so frightened by this sound that he hurriedly looked at the empress. Unexpectedly, the empress nodded to him.
Then he bravely walked up: "Liu Yijin, this is not the place for you to stay."
Liu Yijin snorted coldly: "Sir, the Supervision Department supervises all officials. Has our Supervision Department sent people to keep an eye on all the ministers in the government?"
Everyone immediately looked at Zhang Bing. Zhang Bing felt extremely bitter in his heart. Who knew that this guy would actually say such words in public.
Seeing Zhang Bing's dilemma, Liu Yijin directly waved his hand and said: "Okay, starting today, the Supervision Department Langwei will begin to supervise and review the ministers in the DPRK. If anyone is found to have committed crimes, we will immediately Take action!"
Zhang Bing was shocked. Although the Supervision Department monitored hundreds of officials, there were some people in the court that he did not dare to offend.
Therefore, Zhang Bing didn't know how to answer Liu Yijin's words, and he winked at Liu Yijin desperately.
Liu Yijin pretended not to see it and continued: "One more thing, when checking a person, you must start with his income and see if he has a lot of real estate, real estate or gold, silver and jewelry under his name."
"Liu Yijin, do you know what you are talking about?" The prime minister on the side sneered: "All officials in the Daqian Dynasty are clean and honest, and everyone is His Majesty's minister. If you continue to investigate like this, won't the world Is it a mess?"
Liu Yijin also sneered: "What we are investigating is the corruption of officials. Only by punishing these people can we be free to develop our national strength. If you think this matter will offend others, then leave it to me." ”
Zhang Bing felt relieved and said hurriedly: "The Supervision Department has a lot of affairs. Let's just take care of it later."
The empress looked at Liu Yijin with great interest. She didn't know what plot this guy was planning, but she was impressed by this simple ability.
I really chose the right person.
