Chapter 91 The Prime Minister Goes to Prison

Wonderful is wonderful, what benefit can Li Xian get from such political changes? Also, once the Great Xia Kingdom collapses, how will Li Xian develop? These are all things that must be considered!

You know, many of Li Xian's past plans were planned according to the time period of "ten years".

"How many years do you think the Great Xia Kingdom can last?"

Xu Ren smiled wryly, "There is no need to predict. The current situation is like a pile of gunpowder, which can be detonated with a single spark. It would not be surprising if news came tomorrow that a certain county had become independent.

However, the title of Great Xia Kingdom may last for another five or six years. That is, the state of existence in name only. "

Li Xian took a deep breath, "The situation has evolved to this point. My place has just started on the right track and hasn't had time to consolidate! Invite everyone, and we will discuss the future development route."

This meeting lasted for several days; during these few days, Li Xian readjusted his development strategy; in addition, he reduced the production of glass and lanterns, and increased the production of bearings, sea soul silk, stainless steel and other items that can be used in wars. price.

In addition, Li Xian launched a new product - gunpowder! Now that the enemy already exists, Li Xian is going to sell gunpowder all over the world. And low-level gunpowder weapons such as firecrackers began to be sold. The interrogation of Cai Guo's captives also revealed the source of the gunpowder—from a counselor named Xiang Bowen, who was said to be Zhao Guo, one of the most powerful countries in central Yingzhou.

The matter of gunpowder once again sounded the alarm for Li Xian - this fairyland has existed for tens of thousands of years, and many things have been accumulated enough, what is lacking is only a little spark, once guided; just a little spark can detonate The whole fairyland!

After the meeting, Li Xian prepared to convene representatives from various places stationed in Anyang to demonstrate gunpowder.

When Li Xian was busy here, the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom was filled with mourning—more than 27,000 soldiers died, leaving the capital completely empty; I wrote a letter demanding severe punishment.

There was chaos in the hall. Prime Minister Ouyang Wubing, Li Yulong, and Yuan Yong, three first-rank officials, stood at the front, and the officials behind them stood in turn. Fu Minghui, the captain of the bodyguard who had been disarmed and whose official position was Lang Zhongling, stood alone in the center of the court hall.

Above the court hall is His Majesty the Emperor with a sickly face. As a master of the golden core period, the emperor fell ill! When he heard that he was defeated, His Majesty the Emperor went mad, his meridians became chaotic, and now his complexion is sallow, showing premature aging—this is the most frightening state for practitioners, the five declines of heaven and man!

The so-called five declines of heaven and man are the state where the foundation has been broken and the recovery is weak; it can be seen that this incident has dealt a blow to the emperor. Perhaps the biggest blow is despair—seeing the country collapse but being helpless!

"Ahem..." His Majesty the Emperor coughed a few times, and actually spit out mouthfuls of black and yellow blood.

"Are you all satisfied?" His Majesty the Emperor's voice was hoarse and weak, but there was a state of despair in his flat voice. It's not that the emperor didn't know the situation of the Great Xia Kingdom, and he wanted to rejuvenate it, so he adopted Li Xian's strategy of rejuvenating the country through industry and commerce;

The officials below were speechless, and no one dared to answer.

After a long time, His Majesty the Emperor spoke again: "Fu Minghui is innocent. It is a great achievement to be able to bring back 3,000 soldiers under such circumstances. Reward 10 centuries-old medicinal herbs.

Fu Minghui listened to the order. "

"The minister is here." Fu Minghui's voice was high-pitched, with anger towards the villain and gratitude to His Majesty the Emperor.

The emperor coughed a few more times before opening his mouth: "Immediately rebuild the Imperial Forest Army and expand it to... hey... do your best."

"I will do my best!" Fu Minghui said forcefully.

The emperor looked at Li Yulong, "Li Yulong."

"The minister is here."

"Repair the imperial mausoleum! You are responsible for this matter."

"yes."

"It's just..." The emperor looked a little embarrassed, "Li Aiqing, this treasury is empty now, look..."

Li Yulong didn't even bat an eyelid, "Your Majesty, it's an honor for me to oversee the construction of the imperial tomb, and I dare not expect too much. It's just that the construction of the imperial tomb is a huge project, so please transfer my son Li Wei back to take charge."

Li Wei is Li Xian's second brother, who stays with the First Prince. Now that the First Prince has done a huge mistake, he must be transferred back quickly.

"Yes."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Yulong retreated, and His Majesty the Emperor turned his attention to the prime minister, and spoke the cruelest order in a calm voice: "Prime Minister, where is the border general He Yaogong? Arrest him and exterminate the clan!"

Ouyang Wubing trembled in fright. At this time, the general's family is going to be destroyed, which will completely mess up the Great Xia Kingdom. Without even thinking about it, he said: "Your Majesty, although He Yaogong made mistakes, he still prevented Cai Guo's 100,000 troops from marching south, and his merits and demerits equal..."

The Emperor Longwei was still there, and directly interrupted the prime minister's words: "Come here, take the prime minister down and put him in the prison!"

Then His Majesty the Emperor turned his attention to Yuan Yong, "Taiwei, capture He Yaogong's family and exterminate the family!"

Yuan Yong hesitated for a while before he had to grit his teeth and answer: "Yes."

In the end, His Majesty the Emperor looked around and said quietly, "Prince Xia Xu has lost his virtue and abolished the position of prince. The second prince Xia Shu was appointed as prince."

No one dared to object. Didn't you see that the prime minister just now was sent to prison for saying something fair? Wang Chuan was also in a hurry, but he didn't dare to open his mouth; His Majesty the Emperor is obviously in a state of raging anger, so it's better to keep his tail between his legs at this time.

Seeing that there was no objection, His Majesty the Emperor let out a cold snort, and walked out of the hall; all the officials then dispersed, but they also began to plan their own plans.

The emperor began to decline, and began to build the imperial mausoleum; the prince was replaced, and the prime minister was imprisoned. One thing after another stimulated the already decayed body of the Great Xia Kingdom. The border general He Yaogong even fled overnight and fled directly to Cai Guo, but none of the family escaped, and his head was beheaded at noon that day.

When the Great Xia Kingdom was in turmoil, Cai Guo also felt bad; the two consecutive wars against Anyang lost soldiers and generals, and all the losses were elite troops. Especially in the second conquest of Anyang, the Royal Forest Army was also used.

When Cai Guo's prime minister, Yan Ze'an, returned to the court with his preliminary opinions on negotiating with Li Xian, Cai Guo's court also exploded.

His Majesty Cai Guo glared at the prime minister, "Your prime minister is really good. After losing the battle, he also asked for peace. It's really thoughtful."

Yan Ze'an sighed in his heart, knowing that even if his whole body was his mouth, he would not be able to speak clearly. The matter was really too dramatic. I lost the battle on my side, but won a big victory on the other side. The Imperial Forest Army of the Great Xia Kingdom in the south lost their helmets and armor, and only more than 3,000 people fled for their lives.

He lost the battle and almost ruined Cai Guo's elite in one fell swoop. Others won the battle and almost wiped out the elite of the Great Xia Kingdom in one fell swoop. This, the gap is too big! This seems to be very incompetent prime minister! No matter what tricks there are in it, the result cannot be changed!

Emperor Cai threw aside the letter of intent submitted by Anyang, and stared blankly at Prime Minister Yan Ze'an, "My lord prime minister, don't you say anything?"

"I have nothing to say." Yan Ze'an's business is stable, and he doesn't seem to care about his current situation at all.

"Nothing to say? Good, very good! Come here, remove the prime minister's seal, and put him in prison for trial."

Prime Minister Yan Ze'an's expression remained calm. "Wait, I have something to say."

"Oh? Do you want to make an excuse?" A person standing next to Yan Ze'an in the same row sneered.

Yan Ze'an turned his head, glanced at this person contemptuously, and then turned to look at the emperor, "Your Majesty, before I leave, I have a few words to say. Anyang's potential is absolutely beyond imagination, if..."

"Yan Ze'an, are you blaming yourself!" The person who interrupted just now continued to mock.

Yan Ze'an looked at this person, and his tone was full of sarcasm: "Huang Fu, Cai Guo will definitely decline in your hands!"

Huang Fu chuckled, "Yes, yes, I, who has won the battle, will definitely destroy Cai Guo."

Many ministers around laughed and leaned back and forth.

The emperor also laughed provocatively at Huang Fu and his witty words, but he still ordered Yan Ze'an to be dismissed from the position of prime minister and appointed Huang Fu as the new prime minister.
