"This, Your Majesty, it's not that Poor Dao doesn't want to promise you, but I really can't do it!" The old Taoist priest said with a painful face.

Zhao Huan naturally knows the difficulty of this thing, but according to historical records, the use of muskets has begun to appear in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, and this thing should be about to be developed, and now Zhao Huan just wants to advance the launch time of this thing.

Zhao Huan understands very well that in this era of cold weapons, once you have a hot weapon, you can achieve the goal of becoming an emperor through the ages.

Of course, the reason why Zhao Huan urgently needs hot weapons now is to cope with the next attack of the Jin State, in this era of cold weapons, cavalry is the absolute combat power on the frontal battlefield, and this is precisely the shortcomings of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty lacks horses, and compared with these peoples on horseback, there is a congenital weakness.

"Can't do it?" Zhao Huan picked up the empty teacup in front of him, and let it keep turning in circles in his hands, Zong Ze had already reported to him, saying that this old Taoist priest was not very cooperative with the work of the Ordnance Department, Zhao Huan needed to find a way to subdue this old Taoist priest, in his opinion, the old Taoist priest of this dynasty was the same as the professors of later generations, they were all concentrating on studying one thing, if they were used well, maybe they could develop a lot of advanced things.

The old Taoist priest held his breath, wanting to support Zhao Huan What he wanted to say next, and he was good at answering the conversation, but after Zhao Huan just asked rhetorically, there was no follow-up, but there was a very flexible turn of the teacup in his hand, as if he forgot that he was still sitting in front of him.

An invisible pressure pressed on the old Taoist's body, it stands to reason that the old Taoist priest is pure-hearted, and there shouldn't be anything that can disturb his mind, but at this time, in the face of the coercion from the Son of Heaven, the old Taoist's back is sweating.

"My father has great respect for our Taoism, and it seems that it has become the number one religion in our Great Song Kingdom!" Zhao Huan said lightly.

The old Taoist priest didn't understand what Zhao Huan meant when he said this, so he only dared to deal with it carefully and said: "It's thanks to the love of the Emperor Taishang that he gave me a chance to teach." ”

"Well, but you don't want to repay the country's kindness and serve the motherland at all, but you use witchcraft to bewitch your father, causing your father to believe the rumors that you are waiting, when the Jin Kingdom came to besiege Kaifeng, he didn't want to resist, but wanted to pray to Laojun, so that Bianjing was besieged for ten days, and tens of thousands of soldiers were killed and wounded." Zhao Huan said to the old Taoist priest in front of him with a fierce voice.

When the old Taoist priest heard what Zhao Huan said, it was a look of confusion, what Zhao Huan said, it seems that it has nothing to do with Taoism, this is obviously the emperor's own thoughts, how can this kind of crime be pressed on his head, this is really a crime that he wants to add, why is there no excuse.

"Your Majesty, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with our Taoism, right?" The old Taoist priest said stubbornly.

Zhao Huan also knew that it seemed that he was a bit unreasonable to say this, but Taoism in the Song Dynasty was already a little excessive, he snorted coldly and said, "You still dare to say that it's okay?" Do you know that when Bianjing was besieged, there were still people from your Taoist family who offered me a plan not to resist, he could break the Jin army with Liujia soldiers, and almost caused Kaifeng Mansion to be broken by the Jin army. ”

Now the old Taoist priest is even more blindfolded, someone proposed to Zhao Huan that he could use the Liujia soldiers to break the enemy? Why haven't I heard of this, but he knows about this Liujia soldier, it is indeed a Taoist term, he peeked at Zhao Huan with his eyes, and saw Zhao Huan's face was grim, his eyes were angry, and it didn't seem to be a fake, as a Taoist master, he naturally understood that this Liujia soldier broke the enemy is nonsense, if this matter is true, then if the emperor uses this matter to give Taoism a demon hat, it is really enough for Taoism to cry.

"Your Majesty forgives me, Poor Dao doesn't know about this, there must be someone pretending to be a Taoist and ruining the reputation of my Taoism!" The old Taoist priest was scared now, so he quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

To say that this group of old Taoists, money, beauty, and power are really not attractive to them, but they also have weaknesses, that is, the obsession with Taoism in their hearts, Zhao Huan also grasped this point of the old Taoist, so he subdued this guy, as for what Zhao Huan said about someone offering six armor soldiers to break the enemy, there is indeed a thing, but it is not this time Bianjing is besieged, but the next time the Jin army besieges Bianjing.

Zhao Huan successfully frightened the old Taoist.

"You mean I'm framing you?" Zhao Huan said coldly.

"The channel doesn't dare! It's just ......" The old Taoist priest had a bitter face, when he first saw this young emperor, he was still a little contemptuous, and he felt that he had little experience and was easy to deceive, but now it seems that this is completely his wishful thinking.

"Okay, I don't want to listen to your explanation, I will issue a holy decree tomorrow, the whole country will clear Taoism, eliminate the demon Dao, and correct the atmosphere." Zhao Huan said coldly, after saying this, Zhao Huan was about to get up and leave.

This is to frighten the old Taoist, Taoism from the Taishang Laojun, to the present, it is really not easy, if he uprooted Taoism, then he is the Taoist sinner through the ages, the old Taoist knelt on the ground, "knock knock ......knock" kowtowed.

"Your Majesty's forgiveness, Your Majesty's forgiveness......"

"Humph! I have always been a person who has made a lot of achievements, and since you want me to forgive you, then make a substitution, and I will give you another chance. Zhao Huan said coldly.

People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, this thing, if you want to agree or not, the old Taoist priest now wants to cry the heart, it turned out to go around such a big circle, this little emperor just wants to let himself continue to develop gunpowder for him, I knew that he valued this gunpowder so much, he just didn't refuse so simply, this is good, not only dare to live, but also lost a bargaining opportunity, the old Taoist priest wants to cry the heart.

"Your Majesty, the poor Dao will be smeared with liver and brains and complete the task assigned by His Majesty!" The old Taoist priest kowtowed again, this time he kowtowed sincerely, this new emperor, but it was completely different from his old son, when he met with Zhao Ji, he only needed to flatter two sentences that he had seen him in the sky before, if this trick was used on the current little emperor, it is estimated that he would be characterized as a demon on the spot.

"Okay, then I'll wait." After Zhao Huan finished speaking, he walked out.

"If this can be done, I will make an order to serve your Lingxiao faction as Taoist orthodoxy." Zhao Huan's voice came from far away.
