Lou Yu reacted quickly, surprised and asked:

"What 'Snow'? You heard it wrong."

Huo Yan smiled lowly: "Well, I got it wrong."

The skin of the person in front of him is as smooth and white as jade snow, which is very suitable for "Xue Nu".

Lou Yu quickly changed the subject.

"The main force of Tiansheng Sect is currently in Qizhou. When they become powerful, it must be time to march into the capital. If they capture the capital, the next step will be to expand around."

Expansion to the east will endanger Gyeongju.

In the past few years, Lou Yu sent people all over the country, and finally drew a rough administrative division map of Dasheng.

Gyeongju is located on the eastern coast, bordering Jizhou in the north, Cangzhou in the south, and Yizhou in the west.

Currently, both Gyeongju and Cangzhou belong to Lou Yu's territory. The frontier army in Jizhou has good relations with Gyeongju, and Yizhou also cooperates with Gyeongju. These are all within Lou Yu's sphere of influence.

Moreover, Gyeongju is located in the center, surrounded by three states, and is surrounded by stars. Such a superior geographical location provides Gyeongju with a stable development environment.

Qizhou is the place where Lou Yu discovered cotton in the first place. Although it is separated from Gyeongju by several state capitals, it is connected to Gyeongju waterway, so it is quite convenient to travel.

Tianshengjiao occupied Qizhou, first because the people in Qizhou were flooded, and there were not one out of ten; second, because the prefect of Qizhou was incompetent; third, because Qizhou was not far from the capital, so it was easy to attack the capital.

Once the Tiansheng Sect secretly recruited believers in the state capitals around the capital, and raised their arms in the event of an incident, the congregation would obey their orders, and the capital would become an isolated island, making it difficult to seek foreign aid.

"The purpose of the building rank is to deter, not to really attack the city." Huo Yan said.

Lou Yu couldn't help laughing.

"Lou Zhi is right to think so, but can he really control the Tiansheng Sect completely?"

If Lou Zhi could truly control the Tianshengjiao, would the Tianshengjiao in the original book almost conquer the capital?

Lou Zhi and the imperial concubine stayed in the capital all the time, controlling the Tiansheng Emperor outside the capital.

But Tiansheng Great Emperor has been in power for a long time, will he really regard himself as the Great Emperor?

From the perspective of Emperor Tiansheng, since he can break through the capital, why should he listen to other people's orders?Wouldn't it be nice for him to directly attack the capital and become emperor himself?

In the original book, Ning Enhou's family fought desperately, guarded by the Gyeonggi Garrison and Imperial Guards desperately, but Tianshengjiao failed in the end.

But this time... it's hard to tell.

Lou Zhi is very likely to play with fire****.

Of course, the above are all speculations.

Huo Yan understood it as soon as he thought about it.

"Your Majesty, do whatever you want."

Lou Yu smiled and asked, "What do you think I want to do?"

Huo Yan: "Naturally, it is to break down the barriers, remove the old and bring forth the new."

Only by completely changing the current situation can Gyeongju have a real chance to rise.

"Yan still understands me."

The next day, the group of Taoist priests from Jiangzhou came to Guo's mansion together, and they also took Yuan Xiangdao with them.

Yuan Xiangdao didn't want to come back at first, but these people insisted on bringing him along, saying that they wanted him to help, and use his own green leaves to set off their group of red flowers.

Compared with Yuan Xiangdao's fryer, it can better show their high alchemy skills.

While pitying them, Yuan Xiangdao was worried that he had miscalculated yesterday, so he agreed to come to Guo Mansion together.

Guo's servants led them into the backyard, pointed to several courtyards and said, "The alchemy rooms and alchemy furnaces of the priests are all ready, please go ahead."

The rest of the Taoist priests happily chose the alchemy room, leaving only the most shabby and smallest one for Yuan Xiangdao.

Yuan Xiangdao didn't care either.

He recalculated just now, there really is no noble person for him in the Guo Mansion.

When he was in Jiangzhou, he did a fortune telling, and the hexagram showed that there would be noble people in Qingzhou who would guide him in the direction he asked.

He thought it was Guo's father and son, but after seeing Guo's father and son, he was quite disappointed.

Yuan Xiangdao was in a waning mood and didn't intend to refine any golden elixir.

But it's all here, and you can't just leave.

Then he entered the alchemy room and began to prepare the materials.

He had many ways to fry the furnace in his mind, and he chose the least dangerous way to start alchemy.

He wants to turn the fryer down to minimum.

The rest of the Taoist priests were making preparations when they suddenly heard an explosion not far away, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Someone must have missed it again.

Yuan Xiangdao came out of the alchemy room in a state of embarrassment. Facing the servant's terrified eyes, he clasped his hands and explained, "Pindao accidentally blew up the alchemy furnace. I feel ashamed. I really feel ashamed to continue alchemy, so I leave."

servant:"……"

He stopped Yuan Xiang and said, "Wait!"

Yuan Xiangdao stopped.

"Everyone has three chances! You have two more!"

Yuan Xiangdao was distressed: "Can Pindao choose to give up?"

"Can't!"

The servant said, and asked someone to move a new alchemy furnace.

Yuan Xiangdao: "..."

He felt that he might have been too restrained just now and didn't scare the group of people.

So the second time, he changed the recipe.

"boom--"

A loud noise suddenly came from the Guo Mansion, frightening the people on the street dumbfounded.

After a long while, everyone came back to their senses.

"It was sunny and thundered?"

"Is it really sunny and thunder? It's too scary!"

"The sound of thunder seems to be coming from the Guo Mansion. The Guo Zhi Mansion must have been struck by lightning, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you know that Mr. Guo specially recruited Taoist priests from Jiangzhou to refine elixir in order to save the prefect of Guo. It should be an elixir explosion furnace just now."

"It turns out that's the case, then I'm relieved."

"Is alchemy so dangerous?"

"Is the Taoist who fried the furnace still alive?"

"..."

Of course Yuan Xiangdao is alive.

He calculated the timing of the explosion and left the room ahead of schedule.

It's just a pity for Danfang.

This time there was a big commotion, not only the alchemy furnace, but even the alchemy room was blown up.

The servant was really frightened.

He looked at Yuan Xiang anxiously and said, "There is still one last time."

Yuan Xiangdao frowned: "The alchemy room is gone, still practicing?"

The servants kept in mind the words of the above, anyway, every Taoist priest must practice three times.

"Practice!"

Yuan Xiangdao was helpless, why didn't these people know how to change things?

He simply said: "Don't look for another alchemy room, just get a smaller alchemy furnace, and I will practice in the open space in the courtyard."

The servant did as he said, and after the things were ready, he hid far away, but he couldn't help but observe secretly.

Yuan Xiangdao closed his eyes and thought for a while, then threw in some mineral materials casually, like a child playing with mud.

Then he left the yard leisurely.

He casually looked up at the sky, but suddenly paused.

Yuan Xiangdao blinked hard.

What was seen just now is gone.

Could it be that he was dazzled by the fryer?

But he clearly saw a cloud of yellow flag and purple cover.

Now look at it again, but it has disappeared.

"boom--"

An explosion that was more violent than before suddenly sounded, and the sound almost overturned the entire Guo Mansion, even the guards at the gate of the city heard it.

The common people have been able to calmly sigh: "The furnace is fried again."

When the news reached Lou Yu's ears, Lou Yu was slightly pleasantly surprised: "The furnace was blown up three times? Is it bigger every time?"

"Returning to Your Highness, it is true."

Lou Yu thought this person was very interesting.

Judging from the reports of the people below, this Yuan Xiangdao doesn't seem to be interested in alchemy, and seems to be just perfunctory.

This is strange.

If his ambition is not here, why did he come to Gyeongju from Jiangzhou?

Lou Yu decisively ordered: "Let him stay and continue alchemy!"

"Yes!"

Yuan Xiangdao originally planned to leave the Guo Mansion, but was told that he had to continue alchemy.

He simply couldn't understand: "Why? Pindao has been refined three times and failed all three times. Why should your family waste money?"

The servants don't know why, anyway, that's the order from above.

Yuan Xiangdao was impatient.

He said with a cold face: "Take me to see your young master."

The servant had no choice but to take him to see Guo Tang.

Seeing his embarrassment, Guo Tang couldn't help but sneered: "It turns out that you blew up the pill furnace three times. Disrespect and disrespect."

"With all due respect," Yuan Xiangdao ignored his sarcasm, "Your father's illness cannot be cured by pills, so stop wasting money."

Guo Tang: "..."

Although he has accepted this fact, Yuan Xiangdao's words are still like a sharp knife, piercing his heart hard, and the pain is unbearable.

Guo Tang stared at him in a daze, his eyes suddenly turned red, and shouted with sobs: "It's none of your business! I'm willing to spend money! Just do your own thing, don't talk nonsense in front of this young master!"

Yuan Xiangdao was stunned, cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry. It's just that Pindao is not good at alchemy, so he can't continue to practice."

"Then what are you doing here!" Guo Tang said angrily with red eyes, "You came here yourself, are you kidding me?"

Yuan Xiangdao's words completely inspired Guo Tang's domineering nature that had been buried for a long time.

He told the servants: "Let him continue to practice! If you don't refine the elixir, you are not allowed to eat! You are not allowed to leave the house!"

Anyway, that's what Lou Yu meant, so he didn't disobey Lou Yu.

Yuan Xiangdao: "..."

He asked helplessly, "Can I leave your mansion as long as Pindao refines the elixir?"

"Yes!" Guo Tang replied.

He didn't believe it anymore, the person who kept frying the furnace could really make pills!

Yuan Xiangdao didn't say any nonsense, and went back to the courtyard.

Because of the three bombings, the courtyard was in such a mess that there was nowhere to stand.

Yuan Xiangdao calmly chose a corner and started alchemy.

The servant looked at it from a distance, and always felt that this person didn't take alchemy seriously.

Because it is too casual, not as solemn as other Taoist priests.

It is estimated that this time it will fry the furnace again.

But he waited and waited, but he still couldn't wait for the fryer.

Just as the servant was about to fall asleep waiting, Yuan Xiangdao finally turned off the fire and opened the furnace to get the medicine.

The servant woke up suddenly: "It's done?"

Yuan Xiangdao nodded.

"No, I heard that the steps of alchemy are very cumbersome. Taoist priests in other alchemy rooms only make charcoal. You just made it?"

Alchemy is very delicate, there are nearly [-] steps in total, each step takes a long time, how could it be so fast!

Yuan Xiangdao: "The road is as simple as it is."

servant:"……"

He asked with disbelief, "Where's the pill?"

Yuan Xiangdao opened the wooden box, and inside was a golden and reddish elixir.

The servants were amazed.

Unexpectedly, this Taoist leader is a master and does not show his face!

So he hurriedly took him to see Guo Tang.

Guo Tang was also dumbfounded.

He stared at the elixir and couldn't help asking: "Can this cure a disease?"

Yuan Xiangdao was very straightforward: "This medicine is made of ore, vegetation, and contains gold, mercury, lead, sulfur, saltpeter, alumite and other materials. If you think these things can cure diseases, I will not stop you."

He was sober.

The so-called elixirs are just people deceiving themselves.

Those cumbersome rituals are just to increase mystery and credibility.

Therefore, Yuan Xiang knew how to make alchemy, but he never made alchemy for others.

Guo Tang didn't believe in the Dharma at all, so he returned the elixir to him after hearing the words.

"Dare to ask Mr. Guo, can the poor Taoist leave?"

Guo Tang raised his chin: "Of course not."

Yuan Xiangdao: "..."

In due course, a servant came forward and said, "Daoist Yuan, my son has an invitation."

He frowned and asked, "Who is your son?"

"He is the one who really recruits Taoist priests."

Yuan Xiangdao was shocked and couldn't help showing a smile.

I see!I see!

He was right!

Yuan Xiangdao readily got into the carriage prepared by the servants.

The carriage stopped at Prince Qing's Mansion.

Yuan Xiangdao got off the carriage and looked up, only to feel a golden light flashing away on the plaque above his head.

He raised his feet excitedly, and under the guidance of the servants, he walked to the east courtyard of the palace.

In the east courtyard, Lou Yu waited quietly holding a book.

He specially called Yang Guanghuai here.

Yang Guanghuai asked with a smile: "Your Highness is only interested in Taoist 'fryer'. Why?"

"Because he is very special." Lou Yu replied casually, "He knows that the elixir is poisonous, so he doesn't use the elixir to gain benefits. Such a person is so rare."

In Jiangzhou, where Danfeng is prevalent, Yuan Xiangdao is able to stick to his ideas and become a weirdo in the eyes of others, which shows his extraordinary character.

All the other Taoist priests wanted to cheat Guo's money with pills, but Yuan Xiangdao was the one who told Tao directly about the toxicity of pills, which was very conscientious.

So, if he didn't come to Gyeongju to make alchemy to make money, what would it be for?

Yang Guanghuai smiled and said, "It's really rare."

It's just that he hasn't figured out Lou Yu's intention yet.

There are many people with noble character, but His Royal Highness never uses incompetent people.

Is there anything in this Yuan Xiangdao that deserves special treatment from the prince?

"Mr. Yang," Lou Yu teased, "I see that you also like to study metaphysics and divination, so I want to find you a partner."

Yang Guanghuai said modestly: "I'm only half a fool, how can I compare with Jiangzhou Taoist priests?"

As soon as the words fell, Yuan Xiangdao had arrived.

He stepped into the inner room, and when he saw Lou Yu, he felt that the room was full of light.

Then he bowed and saluted: "The poor Taoist pays homage to His Royal Highness!"

Ordinary outsiders seldom need to perform ordinary rituals, but Yuan Xiangdao actually performed a big one.

Lou Yu was also a little confused.

He was still thinking about how to persuade Yuan Xiangdao to use him, but Yuan Xiangdao saluted so excitedly as soon as he came up, which is really puzzling.

Yuan Xiangdao is a fairly pure person in essence.

There is only the way in his heart.

Suddenly seeing a noble person who can guide him to pursue a higher way, how can he not bow his head and pay homage?

Lou Yu asked with a smile: "Your Majesty Yuan doesn't need to be polite, please sit down."

Yuan Xiangdao sat down as he said, and looked at Lou Yu with burning eyes.

Lou Yu was really puzzled: "Why does Master Yuan look at me like this?"

"His Royal Highness, the sun horned dragon face, bright clouds and plain air, the poor man couldn't help but took a few more glances."

Lou Yu didn't quite understand what he meant, but Yang Guanghuai did.

This is to say that the son of the world has the appearance of an emperor.

His eyes darkened: "Renren Yuan is familiar with the art of watching Qi?"

Yuan Xiangdao: "Know a thing or two."

He turned to Lou Yu again: "Pin Dao came to Gyeongju to ask His Highness to give him some advice."

Lou Yu was stunned: "I don't understand Taoism."

"Pindao's comprehension of Taoism has reached a bottleneck, and he has been stuck in a rut, unable to find a solution. The poor Daoist authorities are confused, and His Highness is clear to the bystanders. It will surely make the poor dao's darkroom shine!"

It was the first time Lou Yu met such a person.

He asked, "Why do you trust me so much?"

Yuan Xiangdao: "Pindao made a calculation in Jiangzhou, and the hexagram clearly shows that there are noble people in Qingzhou."

"There are so many people in Gyeongju."

"Pindao believes in his calculations."

Lou Yu is really curious, can those divinations and divinations really predict people or things?

Of course, it was a good thing for Yuan Xiangdao to take the initiative to show his favor.

He is not polite.

"Yuan Zhenren, I don't know the law, and maybe I won't be able to guide you in a year, two years, or five years. Why don't you stay in Gyeongju and let's learn from each other, maybe one day you will suddenly see the light."

Yuan Xiangdao said without hesitation, "Okay!"

Lou Yu's smile deepened: "Then Master Yuan, let's talk about the 'fryer' technique now."

Yuan Xiangdao thought he was going to accuse himself of wasting the alchemy furnace, so he accused him, "Your Highness, this matter is impoverished and reckless."

But I heard Lou Yu say: "I'm very interested in 'Fryer', can Master Yuan tell me, how did you do it?"

Yuan Xiangdao was proficient at frying furnaces, so he talked to Lou Yu endlessly.

Lou Yu asked at the right time: "If the pill furnace explodes, will it endanger humans and animals?"

"Naturally."

"Yuan Zhenren, if the alchemy furnace is only the size of a fist, can it still explode?"

"As long as the materials are appropriate, it will be fine."

Yuan Xiangdao became very interested in frying furnaces after frying them for the first time.

He has done a lot of research, as long as the proportion of materials is appropriate, and the airtightness of the furnace is good, the possibility of frying the furnace is very high.

Lou Yu stood up with a smile: "I want to witness it with my own eyes. Master Yuan, please come with me."

Yang Guanghuai who was listening was a little stunned.

From Lou Yu's question just now, he had seen what Lou Yu was going to do.

Endangering people and animals, the size of a fist, this meaning is already quite obvious.

From "fryer" to "weapon", His Royal Highness always has such a unique way of thinking.

Lou Yu took Yuan Xiangdao to the outskirts of Nanmen.

On the outskirts of the South Gate, several people are already waiting.

Huo Yan, Li Shu, Zhou Man, Jiang Yong, and He Dazhou are all among them.

"Is everything ready?" Lou Yu asked.

Huo Yan nodded: "Ready."

They prepared various materials for alchemy, including finely divided powders of nitrate, charcoal, and sulfur.

In addition to these, there is also a fist-sized iron shell ball that Lou Yu asked the blacksmith to make.

The iron shell has a rough mouth and a small mouth. The shell is wrapped with pig iron, and the lead wire is placed on it.

"Really Yuan, please."

Yuan Xiangdao: "..."

Always feel that something is wrong?It seems that His Royal Highness has been waiting for him for a long time.

With rich experience, he directly took the appropriate amount of nitrate, charcoal and sulfur powder, mixed them together finely, and put them into the iron shell ball.

The more Yuan Xiangdao thought about it, the more incredible he became.

This hollow iron shell ball was obviously prepared in advance.

Under what circumstances will it be prepared in advance?

Yuan Xiangdao could only think of one reason, and that was premeditated.

Could it be that His Royal Highness has also studied this? !

After the powder is loaded, the small opening is sealed.

Lou Yu asked: "This thing may explode. After igniting the fuse, it needs to be thrown far away. Who wants to try it?"

In the past few years, under the leadership of Lou Yu, there have been many novelty things in Gyeongju, and everyone is familiar with them.

They were well aware of Yuan Xiangdao's role, but no one said it out.

Huo Yan should firmly guard Lou Yu's side and not participate in the experiment.

Li Shu volunteered: "Your Highness, I want to try."

"it is good."

Li Shu had never seen a fryer before, and he didn't know what such a small thing could be used for. He was completely ignorant.

Under Lou Yu's instructions, he stayed away from them, lit the fuse, and then threw it farther away!

After a while, only a loud noise was heard in the distance, the earth trembled and dust was flying.

Li Shu and the others suddenly had tinnitus, and they all opened their mouths wide, showing expressions of disbelief.

what is happening? !

But a small iron-shelled ball with some powder inside has such great power? !

Lou Yu said with a smile: "The movement is so loud, why not call it 'Shaking Thunder'."

The movement of the south gate spread to the city.

The common people couldn't help sighing: "Who blew up the furnace again?"

With the first experiment, the following experiments will be logical.

It is impossible for Lou Yu to personally lead the workers to manufacture the Thunderbolt. He needs to find a skilled technician to develop it.

Just right, Yuan Xiangdao is very suitable.

But Yuan Xiangdao only wanted to study Taoism.

Lou Yuyu said earnestly: "There are laws for everything in the world, why should you stick to this one? You only know how to prepare ingredients to fry an oven, so do you know the principle?"

Yuan Xiangdao was stunned: "...I don't know."

"Your way is too narrow." Lou Yu said.

When Yuan Xiangdao heard the words, he suddenly became enlightened and saw the sun behind the clouds.

"Since you know that you are in a rut, why don't you take the initiative to step out? The advice of others is only the way of others after all, so what does it have to do with you?"

Yuan Xiangdao: "..."

"You have to think about it, what is the Tao you want to pursue?" Lou Yu slowly guided him.

In fact, Yuan Xiangdao's thinking has faintly surpassed that of other Taoists.

He has his own pursuit and is not moved by external objects.

But he still couldn't escape the limitations of the times.

However, such a person with a thirst for knowledge is already very rare.

Yuan murmured to Tao: "What is my Tao?"

Lou Yu continued to guide: "The burning powder can break through the iron sheet, so what can have such a powerful power? Can this power be used in other ways?"

He patted Yuan Xiangdao on the shoulder: "You can study slowly through practice, we are not in a hurry."

Yuan Xiangdao finally made up his mind.

He wants to find his way here.

As a result, ordinary people have become accustomed to "frying furnaces" outside the city of Gyeongju every three days.

After trial and error, Lou Yu determined the container specifications and the ratio of the powder for Zhentianlei, and started mass production.

During this period of time, the rest of the Taoist priests also successively refined the elixir.

It's a pity that they were all rejected by Guo Tang as "unqualified".

Filled with disappointment, they decided to go back to Jiangzhou.

Someone suddenly realized: "Yuan Xiangdao is not here! Where has he gone?"

"Maybe I'll go back after blasting the stove a few times."

"That's right, if he is like this, it would be polite for Mr. Guo not to drive him away."

"Oh, it's a pity that Mr. Guo has too high a vision. He doesn't like any of the pills we refine."

A group of people left Gyeongju lonely.

After the "Thunderbolt Project" was launched, a stone fell from Lou Yu's heart.

I thought that the Dasheng court would be calm for a few months, but unexpectedly, the Yuezhou vassal king suddenly made a move, directly setting off a huge wave inside and outside the court.

Everyone is asking: Hasn't the vassal king been cut off from his military power?Why does the King of Yue still have soldiers?What about the generals sent by the court to take over?The king of Yue has soldiers, so what about other vassal kings?

This turmoil undoubtedly reached Gyeongju.

While sending people to suppress the rebellion, the emperor issued an edict to the generals everywhere, ordering them to return to Beijing to report on their duties immediately!

There is an Anbu in the capital, and when Lou Yu got the news, the imperial edict had not yet arrived in Gyeongju.

He called a meeting of the people.

"Your Highness, Han Yun cannot be allowed to return to Beijing to report on his work!" Li Shu was worried.

This king of Yue is real, why did he suddenly make a fuss!

Yang Guanghuai laughed: "Whether Han Yun returns to Beijing or not, our Gyeongju will be fully exposed."

When Han Yun returns to Beijing, he will definitely report Gyeongju's rebellion; if Han Yun does not return to Beijing, the court will also be suspicious.

Therefore, there is a dilemma now.

Huo Yan said: "The king of Yue rebelled, and the imperial court sent troops to suppress it, which means that the defense around the capital is empty."

"So?" Li Shu asked.

Yang Guanghuai guessed: "Could it be that His Royal Highness and Commander Huo are trying to get rid of the bottom line?"

Since suspicion cannot be avoided, then let the other party not be suspicious directly!

Lou Yu smiled and praised: "Mr. Yang has a great plan."

Yang Guanghuai was helpless: "Your Highness already has a plan in mind, why bother to tease me? What is Your Highness going to do?"

According to him, even if the capital is empty, the Qing army may not be able to capture the capital.

Moreover, Gyeongju is far away from the capital, so the soldiers will be exhausted and attack the capital under the name of the rebels, and the morale will inevitably be low.

It's okay to draw a salary from the bottom of the pot, but the chances of winning are not great.

Lou Yu couldn't help laughing: "Don't forget Tianshengjiao."

Now that the imperial court sent troops to attack the King of Yue, if he was Lou Zhi, he would definitely seize this opportunity to launch an attack!

Yang Guanghuai didn't know the relationship between Tianshengjiao and Lou Zhi, but he could see the difference of Tianshengjiao from the analysis of the Tongzhou battle.

Hearing what Lou Yu said, it became clear.

But there are still omissions.

He reminded: "Even so, the affairs of Gyeongju are known all over the world. If the throne changes hands, what will happen then?"

Regardless of whether Lou Zhi succeeds or not, Gyeongju will become a thorn in the court's eyes and flesh.

Lou Yu said with a smile: "Sometimes, you need to gamble with luck."

He is not a god, he can only do his best, as for the result, it depends on God's will.

Yang Guanghuai cupped his hands and said: "It seems that His Highness has already made arrangements."

"It's not deployment, it's just a few butterflies." Lou Yu said modestly.

Only he and Huo Yan knew about the special camp.

I hope that Sun Xin and others can play the role of "butterfly wings" in it.

On April 32, the [-]nd year of Zhengqian, the imperial edict arrived in Qingzhou and ordered Han Yun to return to Beijing to report on his work.

Lou Yu ignored it.

On April 32th of the [-]nd year of Zhengqian, the imperial court sent [-] troops to Yuezhou to suppress the rebellion.

News came from the secret department of the capital: Lou Zhi wanted to take this opportunity to use the Tiansheng Sect to besiege the capital and force the palace to seize power.

The capital was turbulent, and the court was in turmoil inside and outside.

I thought that the [-] army could completely crush the rebels of the King of Yue. Unexpectedly, when the battle report reached the capital, everyone was dumbfounded.

"What?! The King of Yue actually assembled 5 to [-] horses! Where did he get so many people!" The emperor couldn't believe it.

Cao Yan, Minister of the Ministry of War, said: "Your Majesty, the anti-king spends a lot of money and secretly recruits Lai Pi, bandits, bandits, etc. to work for him."

"Where did he get so much money!"

"It is said that Yuezhou discovered a gold mine."

"..."

Cao Yan continued: "The anti-king is now very powerful, and the court has insufficient soldiers and horses. I'm afraid..."

"What is there to be afraid of a group of bandits!" Xie Xin frowned and retorted, "If they can't even beat a group of bandits, are they worthy of the imperial court's training for so many years?"

"Ning Enhou, don't forget the battle of Tongzhou, Tianshengjiao is just a bunch of rogues."

The implication is that your son has also failed the training of the imperial court.

Thank you letter: "..."

An ups and downs of depression, it is unbearable.

He simply stopped participating in the discussion.

The emperor rubbed his brows, "Are you going to send troops there again?"

Fan Taifu came out and said: "Your Majesty, the capital is an important place, and the number of troops cannot be reduced."

"But the anti-king is powerful, and the original must be clear, and he can no longer be allowed to show off his might!" Cao Yan retorted.

Taifu Fan glanced at him, frowning slightly.

Regardless of the safety of the capital, Cao Yan has been determined to send more troops to Yuezhou. Is his brain trapped by the door?

If it wasn't caught by the door, it was something else.

Thinking of the previous letter from his eldest grandson Fan Yusheng, Taifu Fan's heart shuddered.

That letter didn't say anything else, it only analyzed the chaos of Dasheng's government and the fission of Huqi Mengrong.

He also talked about the difficulties faced by their Fan family.

Taifu Fan is the prince's teacher, and he has a teacher-student friendship with the prince, so he naturally stands on the same position as Donggong.

If it weren't for Fan Taifu's disciples spreading all over the government and the public, with luxuriant branches and leaves, he might have already been beautiful in the forest and completely destroyed by the strong wind.

But right now, some people can actually disregard the safety of the country and the capital in order to fight for power and profit!

He asked: "Cao Shangshu, I wonder how many soldiers and horses the imperial court can send to help Yuezhou? How many soldiers and horses can be left in the capital city?"

Cao Yan said: "Fan Gong, the danger of rebelling against the king is the most important thing now!"

"Ning Enhou is right. The soldiers in the hands of the anti king are just some bandits. Thirty thousand imperial court elite soldiers are enough to suppress Yuezhou!"

"May I ask Mr. Fan, have you ever led soldiers to fight? Do you know the difference between [-] and [-]?"

Fan Taifu retorted: "How many battles has Cao Shangshu won?"

"..."

The emperor had a headache from the quarrel, and he said: "The Yuezhou Battle Report only said that there were many anti-kings, but did not specifically say how the battle was going. We will discuss this matter later. What do you think about the generals stationed in various places returning to Beijing to report on their duties?"

After the decree was issued, several prefectures have garrisoned generals in Beijing, but several prefectures have delayed their arrival.

Cao Yan said: "Your Majesty, do you want to send an angel to deliver the edict?"

"Your Majesty, if there is a riot in the local area, it is understandable that the garrison has to suppress the rebellion, so that they have no time to return to Beijing." Taifu Fan said.

In his opinion, it is not a wise move to recall the generals of the garrison at this time.

The generals of the garrison gathered in the capital, resulting in no generals in each fiefdom. At that time, whether there was a rebellion by the rebels or an uprising by the vassal king, it would bring a greater burden to the court.

Ugh!

"Mr. Fan is so anxious to defend himself. Could it be that General Han Yun's failure to return to Beijing has something to do with the prefect of Cangzhou?" Cao Yan deliberately mocked.

"Han Yun?" The emperor frowned.

The name sounds familiar.

Cao Yan said: "Your Majesty, Han Yun was originally the commander of the Qingzhou garrison. After Cangzhou fell, he led the Qing army to suppress the rebels. At that time, there was no general in the court to take over the military affairs of Cangzhou, so Han Yun was asked to lead the garrisons of the two states."

"Oh, it's him!" The emperor suddenly realized, and then said with a cold face, "He didn't return to Beijing?"

Cao Yan said: "At that time, Prefect Fan invited him to work in Cangzhou, and I thought it was strange, but now that I think about it, it's a bit..."

"Cao Yan!" Mr. Fan stared sharply, "Stop talking nonsense!"

He finally realized clearly that the third prince was really going to do something!

Cao Yan didn't pour dirty water in Qingzhou, but directed the dirty water to Fan Yusheng, didn't he just want to arouse the emperor's suspicion of Fan's family!

For the third prince, the Fan family, as a princeling, is the current key target.

The emperor's headache was even worse, "Okay, don't argue with Cao Qing and Fan Qing, if Han Yun has not returned to Beijing in five days, I will send someone to Qingzhou to pass the edict."

Five days, whether it is long or not, is not short.

After Mr. Fan returned home, he sat quietly in the study for a while, then got up suddenly, took out Fan Yusheng's letter and read it carefully.

After a long time, he sighed deeply.

Why can't he see the current situation, but if he withdraws, what should the prince do?

Compared with the third prince, the prince Wen Rong is honest and honest, and he is a legitimate successor.

If the prince is the king, the chaos in the government and the countryside may be cleared up.

In the end, Taifu Fan still chose to stick to his beliefs.

The Palace of the Three Princes.

Lou Zhi asked the doormen: "Han Yun has not returned?"

There was a strange feeling in his heart.

"Could it be that the Fan family kept a hand and deliberately let Fan Yusheng go to work in Cangzhou, and then took the opportunity to persuade Han Yun to serve as the prince's foreign aid?"

Lou Zhi could only think of this reason.

"Cangzhou is too far away from the capital. Even if you want to find foreign aid, you don't have to choose Cangzhou." The doorman analyzed.

Lou Zhi: "Forget it, whether Han Yun returns to Beijing or not has nothing to do with me for the time being. Right now, the king of Yue and the imperial army are stalemate in Yuezhou. This is a good opportunity."

"Your Highness wants to make Tiansheng Jiao move?"

Lou Zhi raised the corners of his lips: "Having raised them for so many years, it's time for them to play a role."

Kaizhou.

Dressed in rags, with a piece of dog's tail grass in his mouth, Sun Xin approached a person and asked, "Xuanji Xingjun, who doesn't have long eyes to make you angry?"

"Who dares to provoke this Xingjun?" Xuanji Xingjun gave him a pooh, and gave him a look, "You know a fart."

Sun Xin smiled and said: "I really don't understand, but I can comfort people. If you have any discomfort in your heart, you can tell me."

He has been in the Tiansheng Sect for several months, and successfully caught up with the leader of Xuanji Xingjun.

Although Xuanji Xingjun doesn't have much trust in him, he can still say a few words.

"It's not my Xingjun, it's our Heavenly Sage Emperor who is not open-minded."

"A hero like Emperor Tiansheng would not be open?" Sun Xin couldn't believe it.

Xuanji Xingjun ridiculed him for not having seen the world, and said lazily: "There is going to be a war, can you have fun?"

"It's not fun anymore, why do we still have to fight? Aren't we having a good life now?"

"You know what a fart." Xuanji Xingjun said impatiently, "When was our Heavenly Sage Emperor afraid of fighting?"

"Isn't it Mr. Xing who said you were not open?" Sun Xin said aggrievedly.

Xuanji Xingjun hehe: "Ben Xingjun asks you, if your master asks you to grab a chicken, and you fight with others to get the chicken, the chicken is already in your hand, you can roast it and roast it." Eat the whole thing, but if you give the chicken to your master and you only get one butt, why don't you?"

Sun Xin: "... If you give me chicken wings, I will do it."

Xing Jun rolled his eyes: "No prospect!"

"Mr. Xing, to be honest, I really feel a bit guilty after hearing your words, but who calls someone the master? Since you are the master, you have to listen to the master, right?"

"Master of the fart!" Xuanji Xingjun pretended to kick him, "Go away!"

As the confidant of Emperor Tiansheng, Xuanji Xingjun is very clear about Emperor Tiansheng's thoughts.

Who wants to be a slave for life?

If he can be the master, and the master of the world, why should he listen to others?

The temptation of the Lord of the World is too great.

No one can resist.

It was Sun Xin who was worthless and would only listen to his master.

Sun Xin walked out of the room, lowering his eyes to hide the sarcasm in his eyes.

He deliberately emphasized "Master" in order to arouse Xuanji Xingjun's rebellious psychology.

If he followed Xing Jun's words, it might arouse the other party's vigilance.

If his deduction is correct, Emperor Tiansheng will soon lead an army to the capital with great ambitions.

Whether Gyeongju can turn the crisis into safety depends on this battle in Beijing.

Only when it is broken and then erected can there be vitality.
