Chapter 820: New Fear, Loyal Minister
Li Changjie is a person who knows his purpose in life.
He saw the sweetness of power early, but in order to gain monstrous power, you must first gain the trust of the emperor.
Who did the emperor trust the most?
Experience through the ages has taught him that the emperor trusts his servants the most.
Those chamberlains who have nothing to do with the guys are the emperor's favorites, and they can get any rights.
So he castrated himself with a knife, and since then he has embarked on the broad road of life.
But he was still not satisfied, and he wanted to go to a higher place to take a look.
So when everyone was worried about the attack of the Song army, he was ecstatic in his heart.
This is an opportunity.
Opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
Song Jun's weapons were novel, but in his eyes they were just ordinary.
"Those flames are nothing, those explosions are nothing, they have limited effect in front of the army."
Li Changjie was hurrying away, and the generals around him were complimenting this important minister who was deeply trusted by Li Rizun.
"There are a lot of us, how many people can be burned by those fires? It's just a scare thing. β
"Later, our army approached, didn't the Song army run away? It can be seen that they are still weak-hearted. β
"If they run slower, our rockets won't be polite."
"Taibao ......"
A horse came quickly, and after catching up, he said: "Taibao, the Song army has looted hundreds of thousands of pieces of property and is evacuating...... Your Majesty has an order to take those belongings back. β
it!
Li Changjie chased them all the way along the river, and they didn't know that the city had already made a fuss about this matter. The magnates and wealthy merchants wept in front of the palace, begging Li Rizun to send a large army to reclaim their property.
"Hundreds of thousands?"
There was a gasp around him, and even Li Changjie was shocked.
"So much?"
Not to mention Jiaozhi, even in the Great Song Dynasty, everyone will be shocked when they hear that there are hundreds of thousands of treasures.
"It's all those ......"
Someone came to point to the sky, Li Changjie understood, nodded and said: "Tell Your Majesty that the minister will definitely take back those property." β
There were more than 10,000 people in the east of the city, and he didn't need him to defeat the Song army.
Turning the horse's head, Li Changjie saw the greedy eyes of his subordinates, and knew what they were thinking.
Who wants to do something that is not good?
"A certain will ask for credit for you, as for those property, do you think those powerful people are outsiders and don't kill?"
Li Changjie sneered: "Don't say it's you...... If they change to a more powerful one, as long as they dare to deprive them of their belongings, they will turn their faces. β
Why did Li Rizun cover his nose and send Li Changjie to help them regain their property? Isn't it because of the huge power of these people?
Looking at this continent in the east, under the imperial power, various forces are intertwined. Starting from the Liao Kingdom, the Great Song Dynasty, the Western Xia, and the Jiaozhi ...... The undercurrent of the country under the imperial power is surging, and the emperor can only compromise.
"Hurry up!"
Li Changjie decisively abandoned the foot soldiers and led the cavalry to rush away.
The sound of horses' hooves shook the earth, and this majesty made Li Changjie feel excited.
Men and women can't be so happy, right?
"Taibao...... There are routs. β
Just as he was excited, there was a rout ahead.
"Defeated?"
Li Changjie didn't need to ask, and urged: "Leave them alone, we will pursue alone." β
The soldiers are fast, and if they are slow at this moment, it is possible for the Song army to get on the ship and escape.
At this moment, he felt that the Jiaozhi Navy needed to be expanded, otherwise the Song Army would be disturbed every once in a while.
The cavalry pursued the rout, and when they reached the river, the Song warships were speeding downwind and heading towards the open sea.
"Thank you Li Rizun for the golden ......"
The deck is full of gold and silver jewels, glittering in the sun. Chang Jianren is taking someone to count the ......
"Unscrupulous! Counting our belongings in front of us, how does this look like a thief? β
"That's all our money!"
Someone said this, and then the shore fell silent.
Later, Li Changhui appeared in the palace.
The atmosphere here is the opposite.
Bang!
The teacup was thrown down, and the tea leaves and tea splashed on Li Changjie's lower body, and he knelt down indifferently, "The minister is guilty." β
"You are guilty!"
Li Rizun's eyes were full of killing intent, but he didn't know who he was targeting.
"Why can't you intercept the Song people?"
The courtiers on the side were looking at Li Changjie, their eyes were not good.
The so-called magnates, the so-called wealthy merchants, must be inextricably linked with the court, otherwise, their influence will gradually decline, and eventually become ordinary people.
These officials have all kinds of friendships with the powerful people who have been robbed of their property, so looking at Li Changjie at this moment, they can't wait to cut this guy.
Li Changjie raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, the Song people have new weapons. β
"What new weapon makes you so timid?"
Someone is laughing at it.
"A kind of fire, a demonic fire that sticks to the body and can't be extinguished. There is also something like firecrackers, but it explodes very badly, and the surrounding area is either dead or injured. β
"You're an excuse!"
"If you are not effective in combat, you should take the initiative to confess your guilt and find excuses for yourself, do you want to deceive Your Majesty?"
ββ¦β¦β
In the face of accusations, Li Changjie said lightly: "There is residual ointment, you can try it......"
Someone went to get these, and later brought the ointment.
As the flames burned in the hall, a civil official came over with a sneer and stepped on it......
"What is this?"
He raised his feet, but his eyes kept looking at Li Changjie.
All eyes were on the soles of his feet, and soon shifted to his calves.
The flames are rising.
The civil official bowed his head, and then shouted in a panic: "Help me!" β
He stamped his feet indiscriminately, but it was useless to extinguish the fire.
He was in a hurry, so he threw himself at his colleague with flames.
"Don't come here!"
In an instant, there was chaos in the hall, and everyone was avoiding this person.
"Take it!"
One of the guards stepped forward, kicked the man down, and shouted, "Bring water!" β
Fire prevention in the palace is an eternal theme, and soon someone will come with water.
At this time, the flames had already burned to the waist of the civil official, but he didn't even feel the pain, so he felt that it was not serious, and even smiled.
If Shen An was there, he would tell him that the dermis had been burned, so he lost his sense of pain.
A basin of water poured over him, and he found that the flames were still there, and they were spreading along the water.
"It's a demon fire!"
The monarchs and ministers exclaimed in unison.
"Hook out!"
Li Rizun couldn't keep his composure, and after the burning civil official was hooked out, he said coldly: "This is the new weapon of the Song people?" What about Lieber? β
Everyone remembered Li Bai's advice earlier, and everyone thought he was alarmist, but facts speak louder than words.
The hall was filled with the smell of barbecue, and someone retched.
Later Li Bai came.
"What do you know about the new weapons of the Song people?"
Li Rizun softened his tone, feeling that this royal family still has some skills, and he may be able to reuse it in the future.
Li Bai said: "When the minister was in Bianliang, he risked his life to investigate the situation of the Song army, and saw them throw porcelain bottles, and then the fire was raging...... The minister was hiding outside......"
These are all words arranged by Shen An, and Li Bai said like a flowing water, "The flame can't be extinguished, and splashing with water will only get bigger and bigger......"
Nima!
If you had listened to Li Bai's advice before, how could you have witnessed a big roast of living people!
"There is also that kind of gunpowder clay pot, this thing is the most powerful, the Liao people sent hundreds of good hands to sneak into Bianliang for this reason, and they wanted to snatch the formula, but they were discovered by Shen An, and they set up an ambush at night to kill all of them......"
"How did the Song people get so many weapons in the past few years?"
Li Rizun said with a solemn face: "I want to investigate, and besides, the Song army has already torn the skin of the attack this time, and Jiaozhi will be the opponent of them in the future." But how many new weapons do they have? Our army may resist? β
"The Song people don't dare to invade, Your Majesty can rest assured."
It's a clichΓ©, but it's marketable.
"For them, Cochin is a backwood, full of miasma, so they will not dare to come."
"What did you come from this morning?" Li Changjie couldn't get used to seeing these people, so he asked suspiciously.
Belch!
Morning!
"The Song people's water army."
A new fear began to creep in.
"What if the Song people came this time with hundreds of big warships? How many troops can be transported? β
Oh, yes!
If the Song army's sailors are overwhelming, what should we do with Jiaozhi?
"How many water armies are there in the Song people?"
Someone forced a smile and said, "I think that's all there is to it, right?" After all, the navy costs a lot of money, and the Song people ......"
"Song people are not bad for money."
Li Changjie said coldly: "As long as the Song people are willing, they can build countless warships. Today, I led the army in pursuit, and the Song people's sword and axe men discarded all their armor in order to return lightly. Those armors would be treasured in our country, but they abandoned them like they were gone...... What is it? β
"It's just rich!"
After saying this, a civil official covered his mouth and looked around.
Oh, yes!
Damn the Song people, they just have money.
Is it great to be rich?
It's really remarkable, at least they can build a lot of warships that make Jiaozhi scare, and then keep attacking them.
Thinking about the warships that appeared outside Thang Long City every three or five days, Li Rizun felt that he had not sent it this day.
"Build a warship!"
He stood up and said with blazing eyes: "The only one who can deal with a warship is a warship." There are warriors who are not afraid of death, and there are great craftsmen, go, build warships, and when the Song army comes back next time, defeat them! β
The ministers looked at each other, and Li Changjie praised: "Your Majesty is wise. β
Oh, yes! Unless it is to bow down, Jiaozhi must have the ability to resist the Song army.
"Your Majesty, Qian ...... Money is not in hand! β
Li Rizun's forehead was bruised, and he held back his anger and said, "I order the palace to save some and get some everywhere!" β
The ministers are silent, don't speak at this time, otherwise the emperor is willing to cut down on food and clothing to build a naval army, shouldn't you, as a courtier, donate some?
Li Rizun didn't count on them, he smiled at Li Bai and said, "You are very good. This time, the Song people attacked Shenglong City, and it was reasonable to take revenge as a large army, but I remembered the brotherhood of the two countries, so it is better to salute first and then ......"
These words sound high-sounding, if it was three years ago, everyone would have been angry with the enemy, and it would not be possible not to send troops.
But now there is no one to come forward.
Think about those demon fires, and the Song army, which is said to have become brave, Jiaozhi may win?
Except for Li Changjie, no one is sure.
"You go and tell the Song Emperor about the violent behavior of their navy......"
This is probably a protest, but it has no effect on Da Song.
"Yes." Li Bai said with a generous face: "Chen would rather die than lose the person who crosses his toes." β
This is a loyal servant!
I had ignored him before, and I really shouldn't.
Li Rizun nodded slightly, "I remember you." β

A landing battle is written, physically and mentally exhausted, begging for a monthly pass, begging for all tickets.
