Chapter 146: The court is all frightened
Li Han was standing in the corner behind Zhou Yafu, listening to this person belittle himself so unceremoniously, and he was not angry, but secretly felt sorry for this person, speaking so arrogantly in front of the emperor, leaving no room for anything, it seemed that he was not far from bad luck.
Sure enough, Liu Qi snorted coldly and said, "Li Han, come here, tell the prime minister yourself, are you falsely reporting the number of enemies you have destroyed for the sake of greed?" ”
Zhou Yafu turned his head suddenly, only to see two people standing in the shadows, one fat and short was the prince, and the other was tall and handsome and didn't know him, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
Li Han rubbed his nose, walked over and said with a dry smile: "Boy Li Han gave the prime minister a salute." ”
I haven't seen him for more than three years, Li Han has grown from a teenager to an adult, Zhou Yafu, who didn't recognize him for a while, didn't expect that his guess was heard by the main owner, but he has always been arrogant, and he is a genuine famous general. So he didn't feel embarrassed in the face of Li Han, and the big thorn raised his hand to signal that he was exempt.
Li Han said: "What the prime minister said is actually right, the reason why the kid was able to annihilate nearly 10,000 enemies is indeed a bit of a trick. ”
Zhou Yafu's face was even more proud, his chin was about to rise to the sky, and he said, "What I said is good, right?" "Nasty look.
"However, the kid's trick is not as easy as the prime minister thinks, let alone a simple means such as poisoning." Li Han changed his words and said: "You just said that the Hun royal court is full of iron horses, relying on our team of hundreds of people, how can we come and go freely?
So have you ever thought that if the kid poisoned some Hun warriors with poison, would the military ministers let us return safely? I'm afraid he would have beheaded us all a long time ago to avenge his soldiers! ”
Zhou Yafu didn't believe that this young man had any ability to defy the sky at all, and felt that winning was nothing more than luck and cheap means to calculate the Tartar, so he asked disdainfully: "Then what do you say is the truth?" ”
The Xiongnu chieftain surrendered, and Honglu Temple needed to be responsible for specific procedures, so Zhang Fangda was also here. He heard that Zhou Yafu easily denied Li Han's merits based on speculation, and gave them the difficulties and dangers like breaking into the tiger's den in Longtan, just using "children to poison and greed", and his early face was red and he was eager to speak, but he couldn't hold back anymore at this moment, and stood up suddenly, too excited to beware of stepping on his robe, and bringing down all the dwarfs.
After standing firmly, Zhang Fangda first saluted Li Hanshen, and then said, "Prime Minister." Let me tell you the truth! ”
Zhou Yafu saw that Zhang Fangda was angry like this, and said with a confused face: "Why is Zhang the guest here?" The old man just said that Li Han was young and greedy, but he didn't say anything about you. You are old and have a degree of progress and retreat, and this time the harmony is due to your hard work all the way, and the old man is preparing to summon Jiuqing to discuss your merits. ”
As soon as this sentence came out, even Liu Che was annoyed, and said coldly: "In the meaning of the prime minister, being young is useless, and only when you are old can you take on heavy responsibilities." Does that mean that in the future, when the court will reward meritorious deeds, first look at who has a long beard and who is older? When they went to the battlefield, a group of white-bearded old men were able to beat the Hun iron cavalry? ”
"This ......" Zhou Yafu didn't expect that his evaluation of Li Han caused the joint opposition of Zhang Fangda and the prince. He is a strong and accustomed person, where is he willing to soften down, Zhiwu said forcefully: "The prince's words are a bit provocative, and if things are not sympathetic, the reason is different." How can it be generalized? Could it be that the prince thinks that the credit of the concubine is greater than that of the host and guest? ”
"Of course!" This sentence was not answered by Liu Che, it was said by Zhang Fangda himself, after he finished speaking. He said angrily: "Everyone here knows that the great teacher of the Huns is the one who surrendered to slaves of my Han Dynasty, and this person is angry that he was sent to make peace, and he instigated the past dynasties to be the enemy of the Han Dynasty, and spared no effort to destroy the harmony.
If it weren't for the emperor secretly sending the hairpin lord into the team to protect him, where would he have returned to Beijing after success, and on the way there, Gao Nu was said by the Bank of China to collude with the thieves and kill all of us! ”
On the way to the family, everyone discussed a lot and was full of curiosity, even the emperor was attracted by Li Han's lame commentary, and it can be imagined that the courtiers were eager.
At this moment, seeing that Zhang Fangda was about to speak, everyone listened eagerly, and Li Han took advantage of this effort to find a cushion in the back row and sit down, of course, Liu Che sat down next to him like a fart.
"What? The Bank of China said that it dared to collude with anti-thieves with the intention of murdering the team? So how did you get out? This time, Zhou Yafu also changed color.
Zhang Fangda recounted the situation at the time, there was definitely not as many fancy gimmicks as Li Han, he faithfully told the process according to the real situation, and finally said: "If it weren't for the wit of the lord hairpin, it would be difficult for us to escape in the Meridian Ridge Taoist Temple, not to mention that after entering Gaonu City, all the officials and people of Hecheng were captured by thieves, and if it wasn't for the lord's rescue, there would be thousands of innocent lives!" Let me ask the prime minister, if you are here, can you be a soldier who surrenders without blood? ”
Zhou Yafu was secretly speechless, and then said unconvinced: "If there is really such a thing, it is a matter of thousands of lives, why didn't the Gaonu magistrate report to the court?" ”
Zhidu because of Liu Rong's suicide case, was forced by the queen mother to send the emperor out of Beijing as a magistrate, the current lieutenant is Jianling Marquis Weixuan, he said: "Prime Minister, after this incident, Gaonu County Decree and Zhang Zhuke both reported, but at that time, in order to ensure that the grass does not startle the snake, smooth and pro, Li Han suggested that this matter should not be made public for the time being, we think it is very reasonable, so we concealed it for them, because you have been recuperating, I didn't tell you." ”
"This ......," Zhou Yafu said.
"Gong Zhang, what happened later? Go on, let me wait to hear the majesty of the hairpin. There was a shout from the crowd, and then everyone greeted him.
Zhang Fangda looked at the emperor with a smile, Liu Qi nodded with a smile on his face, and he opened up the momentum, from how Li Han purchased the medicinal herbs and herbs that the Huns bought people's hearts along the way, and how he secretly arranged various measures to deal with the Huns, how to create the Holy Heaven Sect to bewitch the Great Shaman of Xubu, all the way to the Wild Wolf Array, Save the Moon, Jin Renxian, and the Holy Sect, everyone who listened was fascinated.
When it came to the night of peace, Li Han found that the personal guards of the military ministers actually violated the border in Jiuquan, burned, killed, looted, and abducted hundreds of Chinese women in public.
Zhang Fangda didn't have any embellishment, but he said it more plainly and credible, even Liu Qi was secretly frightened, feeling that he was fortunate that he had already discovered Li Han's extraordinary ability, and firmly turned this child into his own flesh and blood with family affection, if not, it would be really unsafe for such a character to stay by his side.
Zhou Yafu was dumbfounded when he heard this, and couldn't help interrupting Zhang Fangda and asked: "Master Zhang is staying together, the old man doesn't question that you are lying, it's just that the old man has been marching and fighting all his life, and he has never heard of any heavenly thunder bombs, and he can annihilate thousands of wild wolves with a few people, let alone that he can make thousands of Hun iron horsemen die in an instant, where did that thing come from?" How does it work? ”
Zhang Fangda said with pride on his face: "These things are all made by my lord himself!" The old man also helped the lord to refine the medicine, and saw with his own eyes that the lord was successfully equipped, which was definitely not a purchased finished product, let alone a divine object that fell from the sky.
I have vainly been twenty years older than my lord in this kind of ability, but I never have it. Therefore, the prime minister just praised the success of this trip is my credit, but I dare not bear it, if there is no lord of my family, a hundred, no, a thousand Zhang Fangda would also die cleanly! Hahaha! ”
As a general, Zhou Yafu certainly understood the significance of this weapon, he didn't care about Zhang Fangda's ridicule, crossed the crowd and stared at Li Han and asked, "Li Han, is this kind of heavenly thunder bomb really made by you?" Where did you get the recipe? Are you willing to dedicate it to the imperial court? ”
Li Han has been listening to Zhang Fangda tell about his heroic deeds, since the hero is not heroic, it is good to sit here, then he must be low-key and low-key, so he is a turtle with a shrunken head in the back row.
Regarding the appearance of gunpowder, Li Han understood that he would never be able to hide it from the Han court, and he couldn't avoid them asking for it, so he had already been mentally prepared, and when he heard Zhou Yafu ask, he replied softly: "The kid is a big Han, and if there is anything that can't be used by the court, of course he is willing to sacrifice." As for the formula, it was passed down by the Master. ”
Zhou Yafu was anxious, and immediately said: "Let's go, go to the Arsenal Ordnance Department with the old man, and make your heavenly thunder bomb for me to see." ”
Li Han shook his head and said: "The Heavenly Thunder Bullet is a great evil, once it is born, it will definitely hurt the innocent, and it cannot be used against Yidi.
Regarding how this thing was developed and how to put it into use, the kid would have to report to the emperor in detail later, and work out a proper plan for the Prime Minister's Mansion to judge whether it is feasible, so why not go now...... Forgive the boy for not obeying his fate. ”
Zhou Yafu was itchy and unbearable, and he rolled his strange eyes and shouted: "How can this be true, the old man is the prime minister, and the rectification of weapons is one of the responsibilities of the prime minister, why do you want to push back?" Are you still afraid that the old man will leak the secret of your heavenly thunder bomb to the Tartars? ”
Li Han originally had a little compassion for this person, but at this moment he had been completely defeated by his arrogance, thinking to himself in front of the emperor, you are always a little reserved, even if you ask the emperor's opinion and then force me to go, even if you put the emperor on top of your head, what is it like shouting like this?
Li Han was annoyed, he was a little unkind, and when Zhou Yafu called the silence of the audience, he said coldly: "The kid is young, but I also heard that the prime minister personally led the troops to quell the rebellion of the Seven Kings, at that time, it was the people of the Han Dynasty who fought the people of the Han Dynasty, and the Seven Kings were even royal relatives, if they didn't rebel, who could tell the difference between loyalty and traitor?" ”
Zhou Yafu was stunned for a moment and asked, "What does this have to do with the Heavenly Thunder Bomb?" (To be continued......)
