"If I really had a weak heart as a thief, I would have led people out of the camp and entered Youzhou City to join the Liao."

In the face of Zhao Guangyi's hoarse roar, Yang Qi didn't dare to show weakness and reply.

This was also the first time that Yang Qi faced Zhao Guangyi's anger, and he did not hesitate to go back.

Zhao Guangyi was furious, "Come on!" Kill this little brute for me! Kill this little brute! ”

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty......"

Zhao Pu and Cao Bin shouted in unison to stop it.

Cao Bin glanced at Zhao Pu and did not speak first.

He knew in his heart that Zhao Pu knew Zhao Guangyi better than him, and only Zhao Pu could persuade Zhao Guangyi at this time.

Zhao Pu bowed down to Zhao Guangyi and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, now that the war is ahead, Yang Yansi can't be killed." Once Yang Yansi is killed, the left army will inevitably be in chaos, and it is even possible to vote for the Liao State and deal with us in turn.

At that time, it will not be us who will crusade against the Liao State, but the Liao State will crusade against our Great Song Dynasty.

Yanmen and Fuxing Erguan are all in the hands of the left army, and the left army can easily let the Liao army into the Great Song Dynasty.

Moreover, the Zhe and Yang families are in-laws, and once Yang Yansi is killed, it is very likely that the Zhe family will also defect.

When the time comes, my Great Song will be full of wolf smoke.

Your Majesty, everything is important to the society of the country. ”

In order to suppress Zhao Guangyi's anger, Zhao Pu did not hesitate to pounce in front of Zhao Guangyi and persuaded in a low voice, "Your Majesty, now is not the time to kill Yang Yanhei. As long as you take the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, Yang Yansi will be the meat on your chopping board. ”

Other ministers also reacted and spoke out to persuade Zhao Guangyi.

The anger in Zhao Guangyi's heart slowly dissipated in the persuasion of the Wenchens.

Zhao Pu is right, now that he has a falling out with Yang Qi, Da Song will pay a heavy price for it.

Once the left army rebelled, he would not want to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun.

Perhaps it will be impossible to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun in his lifetime.

It is very likely that the Great Song Dynasty will also suffer.

Zhao Guangyi wants to be inspired to be a wise monarch like the Han Wu Tang Sect.

Li Shimin was able to suffer the shame of the White Horse Alliance and was forced to bow to the alien race.

I can too.

What's more, I just bowed my head to a courtier.

Far less humiliated than Li Shimin.

However, this little beast must not be let go easily.

Zhao Guangyi's self-consolation was obviously very effective, and the anger on his face was swept away, replaced by a look of perseverance and seriousness.

Zhao Guangyi sat back on the dragon chair and said coldly: "Since you said that you didn't give gunpowder to the Liao, then I am in charge and will clarify this matter here." lest I be told that I will be punished for not teaching. ”

"Produce evidence that this matter has nothing to do with you."

Zhao Guangyi's cautious performance made Zhao Pu subconsciously frown.

Yang Qi tilted his head unruly, obviously without the meaning of explanation.

The atmosphere that has just been calmed down, if it is on fire, it will not end well.

Zhao Pu looked at the other Wenchen.

His meaning is obvious, any of you have the means to come out quickly and solve this matter.

It will not benefit anyone if it continues like this.

Li Fang hesitated for a moment, seemed to think of something, slowly stood up, and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter really has nothing to do with Huhou." ”

"Huh?!"

Everyone was stunned, and their eyes fell on Li Fang.

Li Fang paused and said in a low voice: "Chen Shi just remembered that when the year was in the autumn, he went to a banquet in Fanlou, and at that time, a courtier made a long fu, called "Tianlei Fu". It's about a weapon called Heavenly Thunder.

At that time, the minister felt that the courtier was a little exaggerated, how could there be such a powerful thunder in the world. I'm afraid that only immortals can control the heavenly thunder.

Now that I think about it, the heavenly thunder described in "Heavenly Thunder Fu" is like gunpowder.

It also mentions sulfur, nitrate, carbon ......"

Hearing the three things of sulfur, nitrate, and charcoal, Zhao Guangyi and Zhang Qixian's faces changed.

As soon as everyone looked at the faces of Zhao Guangyi and Zhang Qixian, they knew that this matter was really hammered.

Zhao Guangyi was ashamed and angry, he gritted his teeth and asked: "Who made "Heavenly Thunder Fu"? ”

Li Fang said in a deep voice: "The palace is ...... by Zeng Mu"

Zhao Guangyi doesn't need to ask any further.

He also knew in his heart that the gunpowder formula must have been leaked by Zeng Mu.

The so-called palace officials, in fact, and the living room, the middle scholar and other officials, are all secretaries who serve the emperor.

It's just that the official position is different, and the things to be served are also different.

Zhao Guangyi remembered very clearly that when he got the gunpowder formula, he ordered Zhang Qixian to make it.

It didn't take long for Zhang Qixian to make gunpowder.

In order to hide people's eyes, Zhao Guangyi did not go to watch the gunpowder experiment in person, but sent his secretary Cheng Zeng Mu to watch.

After Zeng Mu returned to the palace, he praised the gunpowder in front of Zhao Guangyi, and explained all aspects to Zhao Guangyi clearly.

From this, it can be seen that Zeng Mu must have understood a series of things about gunpowder clearly.

Then, add the evidence of "Heavenly Thunder Fu".

The answer is already obvious.

The leakage of gunpowder really has nothing to do with Yang Qi.

On the contrary, as Yang Qi said, the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty sold a series of things such as the ordnance and armaments of the Great Song Dynasty all over the world.

Zhao Guangyi wanted to take the opportunity to slap Yang Qiyi, but he didn't expect the slap to end up in his face.

Zhao Guangyi was ashamed and angry, he immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Send someone down to find out about this matter, if Zeng Mu really leaked the gunpowder formula, I must punish him for the nine clans." ”

It stands to reason that if you leak an ordnance or something in the Great Song Dynasty, you will be scolded at most if you are discovered.

When it's done, what should I do?

But this time was different.

Zhao Guangyi couldn't beat someone, but slapped himself instead, and his face hurt badly.

Yang Qi's words were like a magic voice in his mind.

No wonder the more I fight the Liao State, the stronger the Liao State becomes.

As Yang Qi said, this is someone who is making enemies!

This kind of person should be killed.

I didn't kill it before, because Zhao Guangyi didn't notice the stakes.

Now that the stakes are noted, it is natural to be heavy-handed.

In this regard, none of the many ministers dared to intercede with Zeng Mu.

Shi Shouxin took the opportunity to poke Cao Bin.

Cao Bin understood and said: "Your Majesty, it has been proved that handing over the heavy weapons of the military state to the Wenchen will only make them wander and become a sharp weapon for the enemy to deal with our Great Song Dynasty.

The old minister implored that in the future, all the affairs of ordnance manufacturing should be handed over to Sanya to be in charge alone. ”

Making ordnance, this is a fat difference, whoever holds it in his hand is equal to who has an extra piece of fat.

Now that the opportunity is ahead, Jiangmen is naturally more willing to snatch this piece of fat from the hands of the ministers and put it in his bowl.

When Zhao Guangyi heard this, he frowned, and opened his mouth to agree.

Zhao Pu suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, now that the big war is imminent, this is not the time to discuss such a thing. Besides, since His Majesty has wronged the Tiger Marquis, he naturally has to give the Tiger Marquis an explanation first. ”

When Shi Shouxin and Cao Bin heard this, they almost didn't rush up to kill Zhao Pu.

Obviously, Zhao Pu is delaying under the pretext.

Dragged and dragged on, dragged to the end, and then it was over.

This is a common trick used by the courtiers.

It turns out that Zhao Pu really understands Zhao Guangyi.

He asked Zhao Guangyi to give Yang Qi an explanation, and he succeeded in attracting all of Zhao Guangyi's attention.

Give Yang Qi an explanation?

Are you kidding.

Who has Zhao Guangyi given since he became emperor?

Immediately, Zhao Guangyi said with a straight face: "Give him an explanation?" Why did I give him an explanation? When he was stunned, he was simply unsightly, which was equivalent to rebellion. If I don't kill him, it's already considered a grace. ”

"Passing on my decree, Yang Yanhei has no king, roaring in front of the army, thinking that he has contributed to the society, I can avoid his capital crime, but the living crime cannot be escaped. Remove him from all officials and confine him in his tent. ”

After giving the order, Zhao Guangyi stared at Yang Qi coldly and sneered: "Yang Yansi, what else do you have to say?" ”

Yang Qi stared at Zhao Guangyi, then looked at the civil and military forces in the big tent, and said lightly: "I do have something to say!" I have a good plan to break the city. If the imperial court wants to use it, it can, take the heads of the nine clans of the Zeng family and the names of Yunying Erzhou in exchange. ”

"Bang!"

Zhao Guangyi slapped the table angrily, "Presumptuous! Escort this arrogant man down for me. ”

In this way, Yang Qi was escorted out of the Chinese army's tent.

A big tent of the Chinese army.

Yang Qi saw the black-pressed soldiers of the forbidden army waiting for him with red eyes, as if they were about to break out at any time.

Yang Qi looked at them calmly and said flatly: "It has been confirmed that the secret recipe for gunpowder was leaked by Cheng Zeng Mu in the palace. All the generals and soldiers in the army can go to the four northwestern provinces for 10,000 yuan. ”

When these words came out, the soldiers of the forbidden army were in an uproar.

The secret recipe for gunpowder was not leaked to the Liao people by Yang Qi, but leaked to the Liao people by the palace Cheng, which made the soldiers of the forbidden army feel unbelievable.

is also unbelievable, as well as Yang Qi's bounty.

Ten thousand money?

That's an amazing fortune.

The money minted in the south has been circulated in the four northwestern provinces, the southern country, the Great Song Dynasty, the Liao country, and the surrounding countries through the southern money bank.

What a huge sum of money 10,000 is, they know better than anyone else.

It is far more valuable than the 100,000 yuan offered by Zhao Guangyi for the siege of the city, and the value is a hundred times higher, or even more.

Knowing that it was not Yang Qi who leaked the secret recipe for gunpowder, the soldiers of the forbidden army looked at Yang Qi's gaze a lot.

Yang Qi waved his hand at the soldiers of the forbidden army, and then left in a dashing manner.

The reason why he wanted to explain to the soldiers of the forbidden army was that he didn't want to help Zeng Mu carry the black pot.

Because of the problem of gunpowder, the soldiers of the forbidden army suffered a bad loss in the hands of the Liao people, and they were angry in their hearts, and it was inevitable that they would do something unexpected.

If there are really people who hold a grudge against this matter, gather some people and kill Yang Qi's big tent at night, which is enough for Yang Qi to drink a pot.

Besides, if someone else does dirty things, Yang Qi won't help them carry them.

And in the end, Yang Qi threw away the head of the Zeng family with a heavy reward, which was just a means to buy horse bones.

Zeng Mu leaked the secret recipe for gunpowder, and Zhao Guangyi definitely couldn't spare him.

However, for the rest of the Zeng family, it may not be.

Don't look at Zhao Guangyi's fierce shouting of the Nine Clans.

If the class teacher really returned to Bianjing, under the persuasion of the Wenchen who were not clean one by one, it was very likely that he would let Zeng Mu's family go.

Once Zhao Guangyi did this, it was equivalent to giving Yang Qi a chance to buy people's hearts.

When the time comes, some unwilling soldiers of the forbidden army are naturally willing to take risks for the sake of heavy profits.

Once they killed the Zeng family that Zhao Guangyi let go, then they couldn't stay in the Great Song Dynasty, so they could only go to the northwest to seek refuge with Yang Qi.

The current Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army has not yet been completely corrupted.

There are countless people who can recruit good fighters in it.

If these people vote for Yang Qi, they will become Yang Qiyi's first help.

……

Yang Qi left, and after being dismissed and deprived, he still walked very chicly.

But the Wenchen generals in the big tent of the Chinese army are not so chic.

Zhao Pu looked at Li Fang with a smile and said, "Brother Li Xian, you still know how to take care of the overall situation. Although Zeng Mu was thrown out and Yang Yansi's mouth was blocked, he was a little sorry for Zeng Mu, but Zeng Mu was able to sacrifice his life for the country, and he could be regarded as a well-deserved death. When the time comes, we will take care of his family more, and we will be able to take care of him. ”

The expression on Li Fang's face was a little stiff, he looked at Zhao Pu, and said dryly: "Zhao Gong, what the lower officials said is true......

Suddenly, the smile on Zhao Pu's face froze, and he quickly looked at Zhao Guangyi and Zhang Qixian.

I saw that the two of them had dark faces.

Zhao Pu said in disbelief: "Zeng Mu really made "Heavenly Thunder Fu", and really leaked the gunpowder formula......

After pondering for a long time, Zhao Pu muttered to himself, "Then he really damns ......"

At the beginning, Zhao Pu thought that after his eye signal, Li Fang came out and launched a scapegoat to help solve the contradiction between Yang Qi and Zhao Guangyi.

But the scapegoat turned out to be guilty.

Zhao Pu had another feeling in his heart.

In short, none of the people who knew the truth of the matter were in a good mood.

Except, of course, the generals.

It's rare to see the Wenchen collectively deflated, and they are still very happy.

……

The atmosphere in the big tent of the Chinese army is not good.

Yang Qida's tent was very lively.

After learning that Yang Qi was imprisoned, the Scarecrow and the Zamahe warriors showed their loyalty.

When the instrument supervisor escorted Yang Qi back to the big tent.

Ran into the Scarecrow and the Zamahe Warrior head-on.

A thousand men besieged the men of the instrument overseer.

In the end, it was Yang Qi who came forward to solve the confrontation situation.

The scarecrows and Zamahe warriors snatched Yang Qi back from the hands of the instrument supervisor.

After sending Yang Qi into the tent, a thousand of them loyally guarded Yang Qi's tent and never left.

The person in charge of the instrument can only stare at the outermost part.

Of course, this is the result of negotiations between the two of them.

Otherwise, a fight is inevitable.

Although Yang Qi made a big fuss today, it was within his calculations.

He just made a fuss on the basis that everyone could accept.

But once there is a rush, the nature is different.

The reason why Yang Qi ventured to Zhao Guangyi's side was that he had a big deal to do.

Before the big thing is done, there can be no accidents.

Not long after Yang Qi returned to the tent.

Peng Pai was late.

Previously, Peng Pai was sent by Yang Qi to convey the transfer of the gunpowder workshop and the secret workshop.

Peng Pai went to contact the hidden scarecrow, so he was not by his side.

Entering the tent, Peng Pai looked at Yang Qi, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, and said softly, "Young Master......"
