Monument Yangmen

Chapter 711 Dian Zhongcheng's "Tian Lei Fu"

"If I really had a guilty conscience, I would have led people out of the camp and entered Youzhou City to join the Liao people."

Faced with Zhao Guangyi's hoarse roar, Yang Qi dared not show weakness and reply.

This was also the first time Yang Qi faced Zhao Guangyi's anger directly, and turned back without hesitation.

Zhao Guangyi was furious, "Come here! Kill this little beast! Kill this little beast!"

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty……"

Zhao Pu and Cao Bin both stopped it.

Cao Bin glanced at Zhao Pu, but did not speak first.

He knew in his heart that Zhao Pu knew Zhao Guangyi better than he did, and the only one who could persuade Zhao Guangyi at this time was Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu bowed to Zhao Guangyi and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, now that the battle is ahead, Yang Yansi cannot be killed. Once Yang Yansi is killed, the left army will be in chaos, and it may even turn to the Liao Kingdom to deal with us.

At that time, it will not be our crusade against the Liao Kingdom, but the Liao Kingdom's crusade against our Song Dynasty.

Yanmen and Fuxing Pass are both in the hands of the Zuo Army, who can easily let the Liao Army enter the Song Dynasty.

Moreover, Zhe Yang's family is related by marriage, once Yang Yansi is killed, the Zhe family is likely to defect.

At that time, my Da Song will be full of smoke.

Your Majesty, everything is about the country and the country. "

In order to suppress Zhao Guangyi's anger, Zhao Pu threw himself in front of Zhao Guangyi and persuaded him in a low voice, "Your Majesty, now is not the time to kill Yang Yansi. As long as you take down the Sixteen States of Yanyun, Yang Yansi will be the meat on your cutting board."

The other civil servants also reacted and spoke out to persuade Zhao Guangyi.

The anger in Zhao Guangyi's heart slowly dissipated amidst the voices of persuasion from the civil servants.

What Zhao Pu said is right, now that he and Yang Qi are in trouble, Da Song will pay a heavy price for it.

Once the Zuo army rebelled, he would never regain Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures.

Perhaps it is impossible to take back the Yanyun Sixteen States in his life.

The Great Song Dynasty is likely to suffer as well.

Zhao Guangyi wants to be inspired to be a wise emperor through the ages like Hanwu Tangzong.

Li Shimin could bear the humiliation of the White Horse Alliance and was forced to bow his head to the alien race.

I can too.

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

Far less humiliating than Li Shimin.

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

Zhao Guangyi's self-comfort was obviously very effective. The anger on his face was swept away, replaced by a face of determination and seriousness.

Zhao Guangyi sat back on the dragon chair, and said coldly: "Since you said you didn't give the gunpowder to the Liao people, then I'm the one who decides to try this matter here. I won't be punished if I don't teach."

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

Zhao Guangyi's narrow-minded behavior made Zhao Pu frowned subconsciously.

Yang Qi tilted his head rebelliously, obviously not intending to explain.

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

Zhao Pu looked at the other civil servants.

What he expressed is obvious, who of you has a way to come out and solve this matter quickly.

It won't do anyone any good if it goes on like this.

Li Fang hesitated for a moment, as if he had thought of something, he stood up slowly and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter really has nothing to do with Huhou."

"Um?!"

Everyone was taken aback, and their eyes fell on Li Fang.

Li Fang paused, and said in a low voice: "I just remembered that when I went to a banquet in Fanlou last year when the autumn fell, a courtier wrote a long fu called "Tianlei Fu". It was about A sharp weapon called Tianlei.

At that time, the courtier felt that the courtier was a little exaggerated, there is no such powerful thunder in the world as he said.I am afraid that only gods can control Tianlei.

Now that I think about it carefully, the sky thunder described in "Tian Lei Fu" looks like gunpowder.

Among them, sulfur, nitrate, and charcoal are mentioned..."

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

When everyone saw Zhao Guangyi and Zhang Qixian's expressions, they knew that this matter was real.

Zhao Guangyi was ashamed and angry, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Who wrote "Tianlei Fu"?"

Li Fang said in a deep voice: "Cheng Mu..."

Zhao Guangyi didn't need to ask further questions.

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

The so-called Dianzhongcheng, in fact, and officials such as Living Sheren and Zhongshu Sheren, are all secretaries serving the emperor.

It's just that the official positions are different, and the things they need to serve are also different.

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

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

In order to deceive others, Zhao Guangyi did not go to watch the gunpowder experiment in person, but sent his secretary Dianzhong Cheng Zengmu to watch it.

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

It can be seen from this that Zeng Mu must have a clear understanding of gunpowder and other things.

Then, add the evidence of "Tian Lei Fu".

The answer is already obvious.

The leak of gunpowder had nothing to do with Yang Qi.

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

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

Zhao Guangyi was ashamed and angry, he immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Send someone down to investigate this matter, if Zeng Mu leaked the gunpowder formula, I will definitely punish him."

It stands to reason that if someone leaked an ordnance or something in the Song Dynasty, if they were discovered, they would be scolded at most.

After you're done, what should you do?

But this time it was different.

Zhao Guangyi failed to hit someone, but instead slapped himself, his face hurt so badly.

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

No wonder the more we attack the Liao Kingdom, the stronger the Liao Kingdom will be.

Just like what Yang Qi said, someone is capitalizing on the enemy!
This kind of person should be killed.

If he didn't kill him before, it was because Zhao Guangyi didn't notice the stakes.

Now that he has noticed the stakes, he naturally has to deal heavily.

Regarding this, none of the civil servants dared to intercede with Zeng Mu.

Shi Shouxin took the opportunity to poke Cao Bin.

Cao Bin understood, and came out and said: "Your Majesty, the facts have proved that handing over the important military equipment to the civil servants will only make them go home and become the enemy's sharp weapon against our Song Dynasty.

The old minister implores that in the future, the ordnance manufacturing business should be handed over to the Sanya alone. "

Making ordnance is a fat job. Whoever holds it in his hand means that he 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 civil servants and put it in his own bowl.

Zhao Guangyi frowned when he heard the words, and opened his mouth to agree.

Zhao Pu stood up suddenly and said, "Your Majesty, now that the battle is imminent, it is not the time to discuss such matters. Besides, since Your Majesty has wronged Huhou, he must give Huhou an explanation first."

When Shi Shouxin and Cao Bin heard the words, they almost rushed forward to kill Zhao Pu.

Obviously, Zhao Pu is procrastinating with an excuse.

Procrastinate and procrastinate, procrastinate to the end, just let it go.

This is a common trick used by civil servants.

Facts have proved that Zhao Pu really knows Zhao Guangyi.

He asked Zhao Guangyi to give Yang Qi an explanation, which successfully attracted all of Zhao Guangyi's attention.

Give Yang Qi an explanation?
What a joke.

Since Zhao Guangyi became the emperor, who has he given an explanation?

Immediately, Zhao Guangyi said with a stern face: "Give him an explanation? Why did I give him an explanation? When he spat on me back then, he had no respect for the emperor, which was tantamount to rebellion. If I didn't kill him, it would be considered a grace."

"I pass on my decree that Yang Yan's heir has no king in sight, and roars in front of the army, thinking that he has made great contributions to the country. I can spare him the death penalty, but the crime of living cannot escape. Exempt him from all officials and titles, and confine him in his tent."

After issuing the decree, Zhao Guangyi stared at Yang Qi coldly, and said with a sneer, "Yang Yansi, what else do you have to say?"

Yang Qi stared at Zhao Guangyi, then looked at the civil and military personnel in the big tent, and said lightly: "I do have something to say! I have a good plan to destroy Youzhou City. If the court wants to use it, it is fine. Take the heads of the nine clans of the Zeng family and share with Yun Ying The names of the two states will be exchanged."

"Oh!"

Zhao Guangyi slapped the table angrily, "Presumptuous! Detain this arrogant person for me."

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

Once out of the Chinese military account.

Yang Qi saw that the soldiers of the forbidden army were waiting for him with red eyes, as if they were about to explode at any time.

Yang Qi looked at them calmly, and said flatly: "It has been confirmed that the secret recipe of gunpowder was leaked by Zeng Mu, the prime minister in the palace. All lieutenant officers and soldiers can exchange the heads of the old and young of the Zeng family to the four northwestern prefectures for [-] yuan. money."

This remark caused an uproar among the soldiers of the Forbidden Army.

It was not Yang Qi who leaked the secret recipe of gunpowder to the Liao people, but Dian Zhongcheng leaked it to the Liao people, which made the soldiers of the imperial army feel unbelievable.

It was also unbelievable that there was also Yang Qi's reward.

Ten thousand dollars?
That was an astonishing fortune.

The money minted in Nanguo has been circulated in the four prefectures of the Northwest, Nanguo, Song Dynasty, Liaoguo, and surrounding countries through the Nanguo Money Bank.

They knew better than anyone else what a huge sum [-] yuan was.

It is far more valuable than Zhao Guangyi's reward of [-] yuan for siege, a hundred times higher, or even more.

Knowing that it was not Yang Qi who leaked the secret gunpowder recipe, the soldiers of the Forbidden Army looked at Yang Qi with softer eyes.

Yang Qi waved his hands at the soldiers of the Forbidden Army, and then left gracefully.

The reason why he wanted to explain to the soldiers of the Forbidden Army was that he didn't want to take the blame for Zeng Mu.

The officers and soldiers of the imperial army suffered a bad loss at the hands of the Liao people because of the problem of gunpowder. They were angry, and they would inevitably do some unexpected things.

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

Besides, Yang Qi would not help others to recite the dirty things done by others.

In the end, Yang Qi threw down the bounty on the heads of the Zeng family, which was just a means of buying horse bones with a lot of money.

Zeng Mu leaked the secret formula of gunpowder, Zhao Guangyi would definitely not spare him.

However, for the rest of the Zeng family, that might not be the case.

Don't look at how fiercely Zhao Guangyi shouted to kill the Jiuzu.

If the class teacher really wanted to return to Bianjing, under the persuasion of all the civil servants with dirty buttocks, he would very likely let Zeng Mu's family go.

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

At that time, some unwilling officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army will naturally be willing to take risks for the sake of huge profits.

Once they killed the son of the Zeng family that Zhao Guangyi let go, they would not be able to stay in Da Song, so they could only go to the northwest to join Yang Qi.

The current imperial army of the Great Song Dynasty has not yet completely decayed.

There are countless good fighters in it.

If these people voted for Yang Qi, they would become a great help to Yang Qi.

……

Yang Qi left, and after being dismissed from office, he still walked in a very chic manner.

But the civil servants and 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 I feel a little sorry for throwing out Zeng Mu and blocking Yang Yansi's mouth, Zeng Mu can sacrifice his life for the country. It's a worthy death. When the time comes, we will take care of his family more, and we will be worthy of him."

The expression on Li Fang's face was a bit stiff, he looked at Zhao Pu, and said dryly: "Mr. Zhao, what I said is true..."

All of a sudden, the smile on Zhao Pu's face froze, and he quickly looked at Zhao Guangyi and Zhang Qixian.

Seeing that the faces of the two were deep.

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

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

At the beginning, Zhao Pu thought that Li Fang came out and introduced a scapegoat to help solve the conflict between Yang Qi and Zhao Guangyi after his eyes signaled.

But the scapegoat has become a real sinner.

Zhao Pu felt another feeling in his heart.

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

Of course, except for the generals.

It's rare to see civil servants deflated collectively, they are still very happy.

……

The atmosphere in the Chinese military tent was not good.

But Yang Qi's tent was very lively.

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

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

He bumped into the scarecrow and Zamahe warrior head-on.

1000 people surrounded the people in the equipment prison.

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

The scarecrow and Zamahe warriors snatched Yang Qi back from the equipment supervisor.

After sending Yang Qi into the tent, 1000 of them loyally guarded outside Yang Qi's tent, never leaving.

The equipment supervisor can only stare at the outermost periphery.

Of course, this is the result of their negotiations.

Otherwise, a fight is inevitable.

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

He just made a fuss on the basis that everyone can 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 major matter to attend to.

Before the big event is completed, there can be no accidents.

It didn't take long for Yang Qi to return to the tent.

Peng Pai was long overdue.

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, "Master..."
