Chapter 48: Cannons are erected in the Nine Palaces

At this time, Zhao Qi was already paralyzed on the ground, and he knew what was waiting for him.

But he just couldn't figure it out, he had been planning for so long. It was not a day or two for the guards in the castle to reach a consensus with him.

All of this originally happened before Di Xin went to the Fire Cloud Cave, why did it end up like this?

In the end, Zhao Qi collapsed on the ground, and asked Di Xin unwillingly: "Did you already know that the old man was going to kill you?"

Di Xin smiled and shook his head, "It seems that you don't believe it, the clever clairvoyance is smooth." Otherwise, how could such a brainless question be asked? ”

"In order to bring you to the surface, the Lone King is also painstaking. I even thought of directly breaking you into pieces. But in the end, the Lone King decided to give you a chance, but unfortunately you didn't take it. ”

After Di Xin finished speaking, he waved his hand, and Zheng Lun led people to tie up Zhao Qi and those who conspired with him and put them in prison.

As for those who had just expressed their willingness to support Zhao Qi to establish a new king, they were also paralyzed on the ground one by one in fright, and even worse, they were already incontinent.

However, Di Xin did not look at them, but walked towards the throne step by step.

At this time, Miko was still sitting on the throne, it was not that he didn't want to stand up and give way, but he couldn't move a single inch.

"Uncle Wang, I usually see that you don't take government affairs to heart, and you don't have the slightest desire for power. I didn't expect you to hide so deeply. ”

"Maybe you will say to the Lone King that you can't help yourself, but the Lone King doesn't want to hear it. If there is anything you want to explain, go to the father of the lonely king and talk to him. ”

After saying that, Di Xin reached out and grabbed the basket, lifted it directly from the throne, and threw it out heavily.

"Wei Ziqi, take him to Taimiao for sanctions, it can be regarded as the identity of Uncle Wang, let him die decently. ”

Wei Ziqi naturally did not hesitate, and after snorting to Di Xin, he ordered someone to escort the basket down.

After dealing with the basket, Di Xin Dian opened his mouth and asked Lu Ban: "I don't know how the factories that King Gu asked you to build are now?"

"King Qiqi, the minister has built the cement factory, steel mill and other building facilities, the construction project of Lutai will be greatly improved, and it will be delivered in two years at most. ”

The Ministry of Works, Shangshu Luban, said to Di Xin, Di Xin naturally nodded with satisfaction, and said: "The matter of Lutai is not in a hurry. ”

"Now that the cement plant has been built, the Lone King hopes that you can lay the cement pavement in Chaoge City as soon as possible. ”

At the same time, to the east to the Soul Pass, to the south to the Sanshan Pass, to the west to the Bishui Pass, to the north to the Chentang Pass, to build a three-zhang wide cement road. ”

"And this is just the beginning, within two years, every state capital where the Lone King wants to see my big business will be connected by cement roads. ”

Don't look at the time when the Dixin team built Lutai, there is no particularly strict time limit.

But there is really no relaxation in the matter of building concrete roads across the country.

Hearing Di Xin's words, Lu Ban's face couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment. At that moment, he said: "My lord, there is a serious shortage of workers in the hands of the ministers. ”

"Without tens of thousands of workers, there is no guarantee that such a huge project will be completed in two years. ”

When Di Xin heard Lu Ban's words, a smile appeared on his face, "Who said you don't have workers in your hands." None of these wall grasses are slaves and maids, and there are thousands of them. ”

"Today the king of solitary will hand them all over to you, and let them build roads for the king of solitary. When the road is finished, they should know what they have done wrong. ”

Those civil and military who went with the flow never thought that they would not have to die. This inevitably made them overjoyed one by one.

However, Di Xin's next words made them feel that life was worse than death.

"Remember, what they usually give their slaves to eat, you have to give them what they eat. You whip slaves as they usually whip them. ”

"Within two years, if they had not been exhausted to death, the Lone King would have set them free. But if they dare to escape, they will find a part removed from them at a time. ”

After two years, if you don't die of exhaustion, you can be freed. It does sound like a chance to live.

But no one thought that they would be able to hold out after two years. Because not only would Di Xin not allow that to happen, but I am afraid Lu Ban would not agree either.

Looking at the civil and military who were dragged out one by one, Shang Rong opened his mouth and asked Di Xin: "King, I don't know what Zhao Qi and the others should do?"

"It's good to hand over their families to Luban as well. But when they worked, they had to bring torture instruments with them until they were all exhausted. ”

"As for Zhao Qi and the others, cutting off their heads is definitely cheapening them. The Lone King wants their death to be remembered by all. After speaking, he handed over a drawing to You Hun.

"This torture instrument is a cannon brand, and in three days the lone king will see it standing on the nine halls. Because the Lone King wants to use this cannon to let these people know what the fate of betraying the Lone King will be. ”

You Hun took the drawings and looked at them, and immediately replied to Di Xin: "King, it doesn't take three days. Two days later, this cannon will inevitably appear on the Nine Halls. ”

Now Di Xin likes this You Hun more and more. At the same time, I also understood why Qianlong liked Heshen, because villains have irreplaceable uses for villains.

Here, You Hun had just left the Nine Rooms Hall with the blueprints of the cannon branding. Then a temple protector came to report, saying that there were two Taoists who asked to see him outside the nine halls.

Hearing that another Taoist had come to see him in the Nine Palaces, Di Xin knew who it was.

Naturally, the disciples did not dare to come to the court again. When the disciples of the Interception Sect come, they will definitely go to see the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit and Lu Yue, and then they will bring them to him.

So these two people are definitely no one else, they must be Lao Tzu who came to the appointment, and his disciple Master Xuandu.

immediately opened his mouth and said, "Everyone, Aiqing, how about going with the Lone King to see?"

After speaking, Di Xin stepped down from the throne and led the civil and military officials to the outside of the Nine Palaces.

This couldn't help but make everyone feel puzzled, and they couldn't understand why Di Xin would be like this to these two Taoists. After all, there has never been such a thing before.

Soon, Di Xin met the two Taoists, one of whom was the Taiqing sage Lao Tzu. As for the other person, he didn't need to ask to know, it must be his disciple, Master Xuandu.

Lao Tzu's face was not as expressionless as it was original, but there was still a hint of a smile. On the contrary, the face of the Xuandu Archmage was not so good-looking.

Seeing that Di Xin led the civil and military officials out to greet him, Lao Tzu hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The emperor is so polite, which really flatters the poor road." ”

Di Xin said with a smile: "The Lone King came to welcome the Taiqing Saint, not because of the respect of the Taiqing Saint. Instead, he felt that the Taiqing Sage was an ally of the Lone King. ”
