Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 139 Frontier Emergency Report
Hearing Li Changfeng's words, Li Shou, who was covered in blood and almost collapsed on the ground, had hatred in his eyes.

Emperor Ganwu's face darkened, he stared into Li Changfeng's eyes and said coldly: "Is that why you want your second brother to die?"

Emperor Qianwu sighed in his heart.

Even the nine sons who love the most, want to make trouble, do this kind of fratricidal thing?

Li Changfeng didn't seem to see Emperor Qianwu's expression. He pointed at Li Shou's nose and cursed: "It's all right to open a brothel. He forced a good man into prostitution! I heard that he has done a lot of things like this. This is better than the sixth Li Shou." It is even more abhorrent to rape women in the street back then, and it is right to kill him, and I feel ashamed every time I think of being brothers with him!"

Seeing the anger and disgust on Li Changfeng's face, Emperor Ganwu couldn't help but think of what Li Changfeng almost made Li Ji inhumane ten years ago, and felt that now the nine sons were at most just making trouble, and the behavior of brothers killing each other suddenly decreased a lot.

This is his nine sons, the true temperament without any affectation!
However, as an emperor, Emperor Qianwu would not easily draw such a conclusion. He spoke in a calm tone to cover up the temptation in his words: "Do you suspect that the second brother sent someone to assassinate you?"

"Second brother?" Li Changfeng was stunned for a moment, pretending to be confused and surprised: "Didn't the sixth do it?"

He expected Li Shou to be completely finished this time. It doesn't make any sense to say that Li Shou did it now. It's better to throw the blame on Li Ji and let him carry it to death.

A blame man for a while, and a blame man all his life.

Emperor Ganwu was speechless immediately.

Jiu Zi is sure that this is Li Jiqian's rhythm.

At this time, Li Changfeng suddenly showed an expression of enlightenment, staring at Emperor Ganwu in surprise and said: "Father, are you testing me?!"

Now, Emperor Ganwu was a little flustered.

He felt the extremely rare true father-son relationship from Li Changfeng, and he didn't want to cause alienation and estrangement because of this matter.

However, Emperor Qianwu's palace is very deep after all, so it's easy to cover it up. He gave Li Changfeng a cold look and said, "You bastard, what nonsense are you talking about? My second son turned into a seller of money a few days ago and behaved suspiciously. I'm just asking you what you think!"

Li Changfeng was taken aback, glaring at Li Shou and scolded angrily: "My good fellow, you couldn't be the one paying for murder, right? Why? Just because I stole your business?"

As he said that, he jumped up and kicked him twice.

"You bastard, Gao Dali, pull him away!" Emperor Qianwu's temples were protruding in anger, and he was too courageous.

Without waiting for Gao Dali to pull, Li Changfeng stopped by himself, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, can't I stop beating my son?"

Emperor Ganwu took a look at Li Shou, who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth and looked disheartened. After all, he still felt a little distressed, and ordered: "Come here, take the second prince to the imperial hospital for treatment."

Gao Dali hurriedly summoned four young eunuchs to carry Li Shou out. Emperor Qianwu sighed inwardly and issued an order: "Let the world know that the second prince, Li Shou, has acted recklessly and lost the royal dignity. State treasury, after a year of contemplation behind closed doors, you are not allowed to take half a step without my permission!"

Hearing Emperor Qianwu's words, Li Changfeng was secretly happy.

Not to mention that Li Shou has become a complete pauper, the fact that he opened a brothel to force girls into prostitution is enough to make him lose heart.

After closing his eyes and thinking about it for a year, most of the courtiers who originally supported him would change courts or remain neutral.

Li Shou was completely broken this time, and it was almost impossible to turn around in the future.

It's just that he didn't kill him, which made Li Changfeng slightly disappointed.

Li Shou naturally understood the truth, and was very panicked. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Please forgive me, father, don't let my son shut himself up and think about it for a year!"

However, Emperor Qianwu had made up his mind and could not tolerate any objections, so he was directly dragged away by the eunuch.

After dealing with Li Shou, Emperor Qianwu looked into Li Changfeng's eyes and asked, "Did you set the fire last night?"

Li Changfeng rolled his eyes at Emperor Ganwu directly: "If he knew that he wanted to kill my minister, I would have gone directly to burn his mansion, how could I let him go so easily?"

correct!

This is Jiuzi's style of doing things!
Emperor Qianwu's doubts about Li Changfeng were completely dispelled.

Glancing at the thick white cloth on Li Changfeng's neck, Emperor Ganwu couldn't help but cry: "The imperial doctor has reported it to me, but it's just scratched a little. As for dressing it like this?"

Li Changfeng said sternly: "Don't worry about it, what if the sixth son sends someone to kill you again? Next time, I can't guarantee that I will be so lucky to escape!"

Emperor Qianwu twitched his face and said angrily: "Why are you so sure that Li Jiqian did it? I have checked him for a long time and found nothing suspicious!"

Li Changfeng laughed secretly in his heart, it's strange to find something suspicious, it wasn't Li Jiqian's fault at all.

What he did was completely scapegoating Li Ji. As for how much Emperor Qianwu could trust, that was not his concern.

Li Changfeng said sternly: "Except for him, I can't think of anyone else who wants to kill my son. He must have done it. Father, you have to be the master of my son!"

"Okay, okay, I know, once we find out who did it, we will never let it go!"

Emperor Qianwu nodded helplessly, and then changed the subject: "How long has it been since you went to the Artillery Camp? This is a major military matter, why don't you take it to heart at all? It's unreasonable!"

Li Changfeng said helplessly: "Father, the artillery battalion is trained by people from Baishi City headed by Zhang Haihui, and Li Jianye, who is the deputy battalion commander, is watching. What do you have to worry about?... Don't look at Erchen with that kind of look. My son keeps an eye on the business in the capital every day, and you didn't show any mercy when collecting money!"

Emperor Qianwu was at a loss for words.

The two chatted for a while, and Li Changfeng returned home happily.

Regarding the decree of disposing of the second prince Li Shou, it also spread in the capital, and the common people clapped their hands and cheered when they heard about it.

At the same time, Dali Temple, Zongren Mansion, Dongchang, and almost all relevant yamen in the capital moved into action.

A large number of overt and covert officials started a blanket search and investigation, with a gesture of never giving up until the mastermind behind the assassination of Li Changfeng was found out.

The sixth prince, Li Ji, became the biggest target of the investigation without any surprise. The people from Dongchang directly took control of Li Ji's mansion with the will of Emperor Qianwu.

All of a sudden, the entire capital became jittery.

Li Changfeng was assassinated one after another, making Emperor Qianwu very worried about his safety. While catching the mastermind behind the scenes, he sent many experts to protect him secretly.

Li Changfeng is also so happy, he still lives his own life, eating, drinking and having fun every day is very enjoyable.

On this day, Li Changfeng came to Diandude as usual, and was a little disappointed after seeing the dishes served.

"I eat these delicacies of mountains and seas, birds and beasts all day long, so I don't have any new tricks. Do you want to eat more green vegetables?"

The shopkeeper Dian Dude who was waiting on the side was also an old man who had been with Li Changfeng for a long time. He said with a helpless smile, "Your Highness, there are only so many seasonal vegetables, and there is nothing the kitchen can do! Seeing that summer is almost over, wait until autumn and winter. Only Chinese cabbage can be eaten."

Hearing this, Li Changfeng couldn't help but slapped his thigh hard.

"Why did my prince forget such an important thing?"

There are too few types of vegetables in Dagan Dynasty, and there are basically no vegetables to eat in autumn.

It was even worse in winter, even the richest people, even Emperor Qianwu, could only eat some dried and pickled vegetables.

Li Changfeng didn't want to be without vegetables for more than half a year, so shortly after arriving in the capital, he bought a large piece of land in the suburbs and planned to build a vegetable greenhouse.

But later, because of a series of things, I was so busy that I forgot about it.

Now that summer is halfway through, and with autumn on the horizon, it's time to put this on the agenda.

After a quick meal in Diandude, Li Changfeng came to the scientific research institute, which was still under construction, and found Liang Dafu.

With the current technology, it is obviously unrealistic to manufacture plastic shed film. Li Changfeng can only take the next best thing and build a vegetable greenhouse with the idea of ​​building a sun room.

In this way, whether it is a wooden frame or a metal frame, the most important thing is glass.

Fortunately, Li Changfeng taught Liang Dafu how to make glass when he was in Baishi City, and even made a rough telescope.

It's just that if you want to build a vegetable greenhouse, the amount of glass required will be extremely alarming, so you have to explain it to Liang Dafu.

At first, Liang Dafu was not happy when he heard that Li Changfeng asked him to make a large amount of glass, because in his opinion, this thing is not very useful, and he might as well focus on guns and other projects.

But after hearing Li Changfeng's description of the beautiful money scene in the vegetable greenhouse, saying that most of the money earned can be invested in scientific research, Liang Dafu, a scientific research madman, immediately agreed.

After making these arrangements, Li Changfeng went to the Artillery Battalion to check the training results during this period, and he was generally satisfied.

Under the training of Zhang Haihui and others, although they still can't point to where to hit, they have the basic accuracy and have formed a preliminary combat effectiveness.

After patrolling around, Li Changfeng went back to the mansion to rest.

And at this moment, an urgent report from southern Xinjiang was delivered to Emperor Qianwu.

The next morning.

Li Changfeng was still asleep, the morning court in the Xuanzheng Palace had already begun, and Emperor Qianwu's usually calm expression looked a little dignified today.

After the worship of the ministers, Emperor Qianwu asked Gao Dali to read the Southern Xinjiang Emergency Report in public.

"In the 18th year of Emperor Wu of the Dagan calendar, on the 23rd of August in the summer, one hundred thousand barbarian cavalry Chen Bing was on the other side of the Wei River in the delta, and the last general Nangong Changming led the Southern Border Army to confront him."

"On the night of August 25th, barbarian spies sneaked into the delta area of ​​our country to spy on the military situation. Warships gathered along the coast, and their intention to invade has been clearly revealed!"

"Now that the barbarians are still gathering troops, the situation is getting more and more critical. The last general Nangong Changming bowed his head and played, hoping that the imperial court will send reinforcements and prepare food and grass early to prevent the barbarians from invading!"

After Gao Dali finished reading, the entire court fell into silence, and everyone's expressions became extremely solemn.

The Dagan Dynasty was not long after its founding, and it is still recuperating. Although the national treasury has been filled a lot due to the lottery tickets that Li Changfeng engaged in during this period, it cannot withstand the consumption of a war.

Coupled with the impact of floods in Shangzhou, the land of fish and rice, this year's harvest will inevitably be greatly reduced, making Dagan even worse.

In this case, once a war starts, it will definitely waste people and money, and if it continues for a long time, it will inevitably shake the foundation of the country.

The locations where the barbarian troops gathered fully demonstrated that they were headed for the most fertile and grain-producing delta in southern Xinjiang.

If this fertile land is lost, it will be a serious blow to Daqian, and it will also shake the foundation of the country.

And the location of the delta is extremely important.

Therefore, the delta zone must not be lost!
But on the other side of the barbarian army, Chen Bing, how to deal with it has become a big problem.

For a moment, the court fell into silence.
