Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 109 Good News Returning to Beijing
"Damn! Damn thing!"

In the Palace of Mental Cultivation in the Royal Garden, Emperor Qianwu slammed the memorial in his hand to the ground, his expression so gloomy that it was about to drip water.

These days, Emperor Qianwu was under unprecedented pressure.

Since he handed over the management of the flood in Shangzhou to Li Changfeng not long ago, memorials like this can be seen every day.

First, Yu Shizuo, who has the right to "report rumors and events", reprimanded Li Changfeng for his previous performances as an ignorant waste who was incapable of managing the floods in Shangzhou.

Later, even the other ministers in the court also made a statement, saying that the land of Shangzhou was the foundation of the dynasty and should not be handed over to a waste prince like Li Changfeng.

Although these memorials didn't say it clearly, the meaning between the lines was that it was an extremely stupid decision for Emperor Ganwu to entrust such an important matter to Li Changfeng.

When he first saw these memorials, although Emperor Qianwu was a little annoyed, he suppressed them and didn't pay any attention to them.

But the more he ignored it, the more serious the situation became. Some people even accused Emperor Qianwu of being a fool in private.

If it is Mingjun, Li Changfeng lost his dignity in front of the palace, and Emperor Qianwu ordered the imperial staff to be eighty, why did Li Changfeng look like a normal person the next day?
It must be that His Majesty deliberately shielded and indulged Li Changfeng in disregard of the laws of the country.

What's more, moving mountains and filling seas is an ability that can only be possessed by immortals. How can mortals do it?
And Emperor Qianwu just believed in Li Changfeng's nonsense, and entrusted Li Changfeng with important matters related to the lives and deaths of millions of people.

Isn't this kind of stupid thing enough to prove that Emperor Qianwu is a fool?

These two arguments, with their noses and eyes, most people chose to believe, secretly thinking that Emperor Qianwu was already old and fatuous.

In the beginning, these things were only spread among officials in the court, but soon the people in the whole capital knew about it, and they all said that Emperor Qianwu was incompetent.

Some people even said that Emperor Ganwu had lost his mind, otherwise, how could a normal person believe Li Changfeng's nonsense?
For a while, the city was full of disturbances, which made Emperor Ganwu very angry.

But today, he received the memorial again, directly accusing him of harming the country and the people for such reckless actions, and risking his life to persuade him to withdraw his order.

"Come on, arrest this bastard censor and chop it up!" Emperor Ganwu shouted furiously.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Dali who was at the side was taken aback, and hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, absolutely not!"

"Huh?" Emperor Ganwu stared, and said coldly: "Gao Dali, don't you want to disobey my will?"

Gao Dali was taken aback, and quickly knelt down in the tunnel and said, "How dare this old slave disobey His Majesty? It's just that the censor has the duties of picketing, impeaching officials, and rectifying the discipline. Risking his life to persuade His Majesty may not be deliberately targeting His Majesty. It's just that they don't know about the cannon invented by His Highness the Ninth Prince, so it's normal if they don't believe it!"

After these words, Emperor Ganwu immediately calmed down a lot, his expression gradually returned to calm, and then showed deep helplessness.

Gao Dali was right.

If he hadn't seen the power of artillery, such a weapon for suppressing the country, and the horror of explosives, it would be hard to believe Li Changfeng's words.

Rationally speaking, whether it is the ministers or the people of the capital, it is understandable to have doubts about this.

It's just that the pressure he has been under during this period of time is really too great, and he even feels a little unable to bear it.

Emperor Ganwu sighed, and said with a tired expression: "Nine Emperors, Jiuhuang, when will you bring good news to me, so that the ministers in the court and the people all over the world will know that you are not a waste and I am not a fool. Your Majesty."

Seeing Emperor Qianwu like this, Gao Dali knew that he had listened to the persuasion, and quickly comforted him: "Your Majesty, don't worry, it won't be long before the Ninth Prince will have good news!"

"I hope this day will be faster." Emperor Qianwu nodded and said, "Okay, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Gao Dali stood up.

At this time, the exhausted look on Emperor Qianwu's face was swept away, and a terrible murderous intent erupted in his eyes again, and he said coldly: "This matter is so popular among the people, someone must have taken the opportunity to fan the flames, how did you check?" ?”

Hearing this, Gao Dali's expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "I haven't found enough evidence to point to anyone yet, but judging from the clues, I'm afraid it's related to Fengtian and..."

Speaking of this, Gao Dali couldn't help breaking out a little cold sweat on his forehead, stopped, and looked at Emperor Qianwu with some anxiety.

Emperor Ganwu's face darkened: "Say, I forgive you for not being guilty!"

Hearing this, Gao Dali boldly said: "In addition to Fengtianhui, it seems that there are ministers in the court who also participated in this matter, but there is no strong evidence so far, this old slave dare not speak nonsense!"

Hearing this, Emperor Ganwu's expression became extremely gloomy, and he said coldly: "My good emperor, my good minister! Are they so impatient?!"

The prince intends to get the position of prince, and he is well aware of the fact that the ministers of the court and the central government are standing in line.

Throughout the ages, this kind of thing is inevitable.

As long as it is not out of his control, he even encourages such competition. He who conquered the world on horseback does not want his heir to be a waste.

But this time not only targeted Li Changfeng, but obviously also used the topic to target him, which touched Emperor Qianwu's rebellion.

But there is no evidence right now, and he is quite helpless.

At this moment, suddenly there was an urgent call from outside the door.

"Urgent report! Shangzhou urgent report!"

Emperor Ganwu's heart moved, and he said calmly: "Submit it!"

There is no doubt that the Shangzhou urgent report must be about the flood, and there must be a result.

Even though he was mentally prepared, Emperor Ganwu couldn't help feeling a little nervous, wondering if Li Changfeng would succeed.

After all, although the artillery is very powerful, it is still very difficult to blow up a mountain. If something happens, the consequences will be disastrous.

Even Gao Dali at the side became nervous.

Soon, a young eunuch walked into the hall quickly with small steps, and presented the report to Gao Dali, and Gao Dali carefully presented it to Emperor Qianwu.

Taking a deep breath, Emperor Ganwu suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and slowly opened the memorial.

Gao Dali at the side stared closely at Emperor Qianwu's expression, not even daring to vent his breath, and kept praying secretly in his heart.

Your Highness the Ninth Prince, please don't make any trouble!

If this matter fails, His Majesty's reputation will be ruined, and your future will be completely over!
As if his prayer had played a role, Emperor Qianwu's originally slightly frowned brows gradually relaxed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, the arc gradually widened, and finally he burst out laughing.

"Ha ha……"

"good, very good, excellent!"

"Liyu Mountain was blasted open a gap of [-] feet, the Shang River flooded into the Baixie Valley, and the danger of flooding in Shangzhou was completely lifted!"

Gao Dali was also overjoyed, with an uncontrollable joy on his face, he quickly bowed and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, Your Highness the Ninth Prince is a blessing to me, and a blessing to the people of the world!"

This flattering Emperor Wulong was even more pleased, and said rather proudly: "It doesn't matter whose son it is!"

Gao Dali nodded and smiled, "Your Majesty is right!"

Immediately, the conversation turned and he said coldly: "Tomorrow's court meeting, when His Majesty makes this report public, the old slave wants to see what the ministers can say!"

Hearing this, Emperor Qianwu couldn't help showing a look of anticipation, and said with a snort, "I want to see what expressions they will have when they learn about the situation, and see who will say that I am a fool!"

Morning the next day.

After all the ministers paid homage, Emperor Ganwu asked blankly: "Do you have something to play?"

As soon as the words fell, Li Ji stood up impatiently, cupped his hands and said: "It's been a long time since Brother Nine Emperors took over the flood disaster in Shangzhou, and he hasn't done anything yet, I think I should choose another talented person to go to rescue the disaster! "

Emperor Ganwu remained expressionless, unable to see the slightest sign of happiness or anger, and asked again: "Who else thinks so?"

After a moment of silence, the ministers who supported the sixth prince spoke one after another.

"That's right, the flood incident is very involved, so it shouldn't be delayed, what His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince said is absolutely true!"

"In my humble opinion, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince's previous strategy was the safest, and he should be sent to preside over this matter!"

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

Soon, not only the ministers who supported the Sixth Prince expressed their views, but even the ministers who supported the First Prince and the Second Prince also expressed their views.

In their view, Li Changfeng has no chance of success at all, and Emperor Qianwu will realize this sooner or later.

And now is the best time to show your loyalty and show your image of being loyal to the country and the people.

As for whether it was the sixth prince who presided over the flood in Shangzhou, they didn't care.

Because of the current predicament in Shangzhou, no matter who goes there, it is impossible to make any commendable achievements.

Only the First Prince, Second Prince, Prime Minister Feng Quji, Uncle Murong Changkong, and some people did not speak out.

For them, it is inappropriate to express their position lightly before they have a thorough understanding of Emperor Qianwu's attitude.

When the ministers finished speaking, Emperor Ganwu couldn't help showing a sneer, and asked: "You all think that my Nine Emperors can't do it? Do you think I'm stupid? You even think that I'm crazy, so I made Changfeng responsible for the business. state flood decision?"

The ministers were taken aback, and hurriedly said they did not dare.

But the indifference hidden under their terrified expressions was clearly seen by Emperor Qianwu.

Emperor Qianwu stopped talking nonsense, and said coldly: "Gao Dali, read out the Shangzhou urgent report received yesterday!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials were shocked, with suspicious expressions on their faces.

Did the Ninth Prince really do it?

But then everyone rejected this crazy idea.

impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
"promise!"

Gao Dali bowed in response, then held his head high, took out the urgent report and read it forcefully.

"Sun Botai, magistrate of Chengufang County, bowed his head and reported:

His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince took a [-]-foot gap in Liyu Mountain and led the water of the Shang River into the Baixie Valley. The danger of the flood in Shangzhou has been resolved!

What the Ninth Prince did was a miracle!The lives of the people in Shangzhou are no longer in danger, so I would like to report good news to Your Majesty! "

As soon as the words fell, the entire Xuanzheng Palace fell silent, and everyone had expressions of disbelief.

　To explain, Emperor Ganwu only knew about artillery, but he didn't know that the shells of artillery were made of gunpowder, and he didn't know whether Li Changfeng was pulling the artillery, so he thought it was the artillery that opened the mountain.
