Li Yi's face was stern. Although he had already had an idea in his mind, he still pretended to be embarrassed in order to cover up his next actions.
A long time passed and still no words were spoken.
When Ning Wen and others saw this situation, they couldn't hide their joy.
Now you know you're in trouble, right?
Let’s see what you do next?
Cao Qingyan was the only one who knew the inside story, and he only had a partial understanding. He only knew that His Majesty was up all night, tinkering with firecrackers, and knew nothing else.
As for Wei Ziya, Cao Fengyang and the others don't even know.
Seeing that His Majesty was in trouble, Wei Ziya immediately stepped forward and said, "Major events in the army are national affairs. How can we deal with them in terms of time? Soldiers have no constant momentum, and water has no constant shape. Those who can win due to changes in the enemy are called gods."
"Does it mean that Master Ning, as the Minister of the Ministry of War, doesn't even know this truth?"
Ning Wen seemed to have been prepared and did not panic at all, "Of course I know, but now the national treasury is poor and weak, and it has long been unable to make ends meet. If the rebellion cannot be put down in time, what will happen to the food and money?"
Cao Fengyang also stepped out and said rudely to these sycophants who insulted the teacher: "Master Sun and the frontline soldiers fought bloody battles with thieves in Dongshan. You are high in the temple, but here you are eloquent and obstructive in secret. You deserve to be damned!"
Wei Jun was immediately furious, "Cao, who do you think you are? You have just been an official for a few days and you dare to speak nonsense in front of us. I think you deserve to die!"
"You!" Cao Fengyang was furious. He clenched his fists and was about to teach these sycophants a lesson.
At this time, Li Yi said, "Shut up!"
The emperor was furious and everyone knelt down.
Li Yi pretended to be helpless, waving his hands and saying: "How unbecoming it is for imperial officials to insult each other in public!"
But his tone changed, and he shook his head in embarrassment, "What Mr. Ning said is true. The treasury is empty and it is indeed unsustainable. Otherwise, let's give Sun Tingzong one month."
As soon as Li Yigang finished speaking, Wei Jun stood up and said, "Your Majesty, it's just a group of thieves. It took our majestic Gale Dynasty several months to wipe them out. If word spreads, where is the face of our Gale Dynasty? Where is the face of Your Majesty?" ?”
Hearing this, Li Yi couldn't help scolding his mother angrily. This old bastard is so full of evil. He's so disgusting. Bah, disgusting!
But he still had to remain calm on his face, "How long does it take, Mr. Wei, to be worthy of the face of my Dafeng Dynasty and worthy of my face?"
Wei Jun changed slightly, but was not afraid, "The military rations are enough for fifteen days at most."
Li Yi shook his head, "No, not on the 15th!"
Ning Wen and Wei Jun looked at each other and were about to stop him when they heard Li Yi say to himself: "Ten days at most!"
When the two of them heard that Li Yi had compressed time, they were stunned and thought they heard wrongly.
The other ministers, including Wei Ziya, Cao Fengyang and others, were also shocked and looked frightened.
But Li Yi continued: "Six days, just six days, Sun Tingzong will win and return to the court."
Six days?
At this time, Wei Ziya and others were not calm at all. They were about to ask for mercy, but they found that Li Yi was secretly winking at him. Could it be said that His Majesty did this on purpose?
"Your Majesty, if Master Sun can't do it..." Ning Wen suppressed the joy in his heart and asked first.
Li Yi pretended to be embarrassed, "Well, then I can only bear the pain and cut off Ma Su with tears."
"Okay, your majesty is wise!" Ning Wen and others sneered secretly and stepped forward to pay their respects.
Li Yi's tone suddenly turned cold, "But if Mr. Sun does it, what will you do?"
Wei Jun was the first to stand up and said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, if Lord Sun can return to the court after victory within six days, I will resign from the post of Minister of Rites and return to my hometown."
Suddenly, Ning Wen frowned. He felt something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out the reason. However, Wei Jun's words had already been spoken and it was hard to take them back, so he gave up.
Li Yi nodded, "Okay, then let's follow what Lord Yi Wei said."
"Your Majesty is wise." The ministers and scholars all knelt down.
Li Yi had more important things to do, so he waved his hand hurriedly, "Let's all leave!"
When the officials retreated, Cao Fengyang and Wei Ziya quickly chased after them.
Cao Fengyang walked quickly to Li Yi and knelt on the ground with a plop, "Your Majesty, please save my mentor. As long as I can save my mentor, I am willing to die for my mentor!"
Wei Ziya also hurriedly knelt down and begged to die for his mentor Sun Tingzong.
Li Yi looked at the two of them and said seriously: "Have you two made up your mind?"
The two kowtowed heavily to show their attitude.
"Okay, my teacher's kindness is great, yes, but I didn't let Lord Sun Tingzong die either?" Li Yi said with a half-smile but not a smile.
They both raised their heads and looked at each other with confused expressions on their faces.
Li Yi regained his seriousness and said solemnly: "Cao Fengyang obeys the order!"
Cao Fengyang was stunned, "I'm here."
"I ordered you to deliver an imperial edict for me to Master Sun in Qingzhou City. Do you dare?"
Cao Fengyang obliged and said without hesitation, "Dare!"
Li Yi nodded, "Give Master Sun the imperial edict and secret message, and he will understand. I will hold a banquet in the capital to celebrate your master and apprentice."
Seeing Li Yi's confident eyes, Cao Fengyang stopped asking any more questions and immediately became more confident. He nodded and said, "Promise, I will deliver the imperial edict and the secret letter to my mentor for His Majesty even if I die."
This battle to suppress the rebellion in Dongshan has really begun now.
That night.
Li Yi was sitting in the Jinluan Hall and stayed up all night. At midnight, Cao Qingyan came quickly and said, "Your Majesty, Wei Zhou has sent news that his father and Ning Wen and others are secretly conspiring to mobilize all the thieves to destroy Yun in Qingzhou City. The food team will completely cut off Master Sun's stubborn resistance."
Li Yi nodded, "Okay, I understand. How many new fire guns have been made?"
"Your Majesty, it's less than three hundred shots." Cao Qing said.
"no!"
Li Yi frowned, thinking complicatedly, "Too few, at least two thousand rods can form a powerful force, otherwise it will not be able to stop the thieves cavalry with fast horses and long swords."
"Pass my decree and tell Old Man Wang that he must speed up and complete the two thousand strokes ahead of schedule. If you get one more stroke, you will be rewarded with one tael of gold."
"In addition, I have summoned Guo Polu to the palace. I have something to explain to him."
"No, I'll do it now." Cao Qingyan was also shocked by Li Yi's generosity.
"Well, two thousand rifles, plus other strong bows and crossbows, should have enough firepower to deal with these thieves." Li Yi muttered to himself, feeling unsure.
Before the continuous firing of firearms, the cavalry had always been an extremely terrifying existence. On the battlefield, the cavalry, all wearing heavy armor and holding spears and scimitars, was a nightmare for all infantry. It was not until the emergence of rapid-fire firearms and machine guns that Complete twist.
But now, with Li Yi's technical level and existing industrial base, it is impossible to create a rapid-fire firearm in a short time. Even the simplest rifle is very difficult.
A long sigh can best describe Li Yi's state of mind.
now.
Yanfu.
It was majestic and solemn, dead silent, and there was a chill everywhere.
inside the house.
Sandalwood overflows and smoke curls up.
Mr. Yan was wearing a black satin embroidered robe and was reading a book by the window. His back was tall but slightly thin. "I found out. Where did the little emperor have the courage to boast about wiping out the Dongshan thieves in Haikou within six days?"
A man in black knelt on the ground and said, "Back to the young master, the informants in the palace have received news that the young emperor often goes to the manufacturing office recently and stays up at night. He also sends an internal machine supervisor to supervise the manufacturing office closely."
"Snapped!"
Mr. Yan closed the book suddenly, and in the depths of his deep eyes, sharp chills burst out, and then he sneered: "Could it be that the little emperor can create some special weapons to deal with the thieves?"
"But with his useless brain, he can't even understand poetry, let alone making weapons. There must be someone behind this to help him. Who could it be?"
The man in black lowered his head and said worriedly: "Sir, if the little emperor is allowed to continue, will it cause the "feather-cutting plan" to fail? After all, the little emperor has been acting very strangely recently, and we have to guard against it."
"Furthermore, Sun Tingzong was not a good person. With the help of those state soldiers relying on Qingzhou City, he defeated the thieves several times and fled in embarrassment, losing a large number of weapons and equipment."
"Hmph!" Mr. Yan snorted heavily, "What a waste. I gave them so many weapons, armor and firearms, and yet they have become this virtuous. They are a bunch of losers, and they still claim to be elite cavalry!"
After venting his anger, he gradually calmed down and ordered: "Go and find out what the little emperor is up to. After finding out, everyone involved will be killed without mercy!"
A fierce light flashed in his eyes. The little emperor couldn't kill him, but the others didn't matter.
The man in black bowed and retreated.
Mr. Yan narrowed his eyes, murderous intent flickered in the slender eye slits, and finally erupted with unparalleled murderous intent. His Adam's apple moved slightly and his voice was low, "Li Yi, this throne should belong to my Yan family. You guys Why should the Li family do this!"
