Chen Changfeng wanted to use a new brewing method in exchange for the safety of Huo Qubing and 50,000 veterans. Of course the emperor understood.
It's just that the emperor didn't believe that Chen Changfeng's so-called brewing method could really be better than the wine brewed by previous countries.
The emperor looked at Chen Changfeng suspiciously.
Although Chen Changfeng brought him many surprises, why had he, the emperor, never heard of the new brewing technology he acquired in Yizhou?
Is this boy Chen Changfeng deceiving himself?
"Father, I can brew a batch of wine first. If my father is not satisfied, I will personally take care of Huo Qubing and others for my father."
"But if the father is satisfied, please also ask the father to give me an army. I will incorporate Huo Qubing and others into this army, and I will ensure that they obey orders." Chen Changfeng spoke again.
The emperor opened his mouth.
Good guy, just now he was still thinking whether the price paid by this boy in front of him was a little too high.
If the new technology of brewing is true, then money will flow into the coffers every day like running water.
When the time comes that he has money, will he, the emperor, be able to do whatever he wants?
The Great Chu Empire was so powerful, not just because they had money, lots of food, and good wine sales.
If the brewing technology he had acquired really surpassed that of the Chu Empire, even if Huo Qubing attacked Luowang's stronghold, the emperor felt that he could endure it, let alone Huo Qubing.
Sure enough, he knew that Chen Changfeng was not that simple.
Now they actually plan to build a personal army of 50,000 people.
The emperor was silent. Fifty thousand soldiers were too many for a prince.
When the time comes, Chen Changfeng will be able to mobilize these 50,000 people on his own. Will the second and third princes still be Chen Changfeng's opponents?
"Fifty thousand people have exceeded the limit. If you can really make wine, I can let you form an army of five thousand people."
"Moreover, you must guarantee that Huo Qubing will not do what happened this time again, otherwise, I will definitely send a large army to encircle and suppress him." The emperor said slowly with a solemn face.
Liu Xi was secretly shocked.
The emperor did not investigate Chen Changfeng's secret deployment of the black armored guards, which already surprised him.
Now the emperor doesn't even directly hold Huo Qubing accountable for leading the army to attack the Luowen stronghold?
Huo Qubing's move is tantamount to treason, so let's forget it?
The emperor is too talkative in front of the prince, right?
Or is it that the prince gave too much?
But the prince just said a new brewing method, and the emperor just believed it?
"My son, I would like to thank my father." Chen Changfeng cupped his hands and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute." The emperor suddenly said.
Chen Changfeng turned to look at the emperor.
"What did you do when you went to Yizhou this time?" the emperor asked casually.
"My son has killed 80% of the corrupt officials in Yizhou..."
"What?"
In the study room, the emperor's angry roar could be heard.
…
"What?"
"The Luowang stronghold was attacked by Huo Qubing's army?"
"Where is the third prince?"
In the second prince's residence, the second prince jumped up when he got the news that Luo Wang's stronghold was attacked.
He really would not have thought that Huo Qubing would be so bold as to lead an army to directly attack the Luowang stronghold.
However, the second prince was not worried. Huo Qubing's attack on Luowang's stronghold was tantamount to seeking death.
The emperor would never tolerate Huo Qubing's misbehavior.
Huo Qubing and his men will definitely be wiped out by the emperor's troops.
But then the words of his subordinate made the second prince's smile completely freeze on his face.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince is back, and according to Eunuch Liu Xi, Your Majesty has pardoned Chen Qingzhi and does not intend to pursue the matter of Huo Qubing leading the army to attack the Luowen stronghold..."
"What?" The second prince was startled again.
He could understand why the emperor did not pursue Chen Qingzhi's case. When Chen Changfeng came back, he would definitely find a way to rescue Chen Qingzhi.
As the prince, Chen Changfeng would not attack Chen Changfeng easily even if the emperor was furious.
So they just planned to kill Chen Qingzhi at first.
But the second prince never expected that when Chen Changfeng came back, the emperor would not even take care of Huo Qubing.
What kind of ecstasy did Chen Changfeng give the emperor?
The second prince couldn't figure it out at all.
"Your Highness, someone has come from Yizhou." While the second prince was still thinking about the emperor's doting on Chen Changfeng, someone else came to report from outside.
When he learned that someone from Yizhou was coming, the second prince's heart suddenly tugged.
The news he had learned before was only brought by carrier pigeons. What happened in Yizhou was not completely clear to the second prince.
The second prince took a deep breath and let the people in with great anxiety.
When he saw the person coming, the second prince's heart skipped a beat.
"Your Highness, most of Yizhou's officials, big and small, were executed by the prince. All our shops were raided by the prince, and all our money was taken away."
"Today's Yizhou is already a deserted city for us." The visitor knelt on the ground with a look of fear on his face.
When the second prince heard this, his legs were a little unsteady.
Yizhou, the fiefdom of his second prince, was completely destroyed by Chen Changfeng!
Eighty percent of the officials, probably all officials related to the second prince, were all dealt with by Chen Changfeng.
The shops, where the second prince had accumulated a lot of money, were all raided by Chen Changfeng.
All the money fell into Chen Changfeng's hands.
The business that his second prince had built for so many years was destroyed by Chen Changfeng.
"I'm going to kill him!"
"I must kill him!" The second prince's eyes were blood red.
Most of his money was in Yizhou, but now it was all wiped out by Chen Changfeng.
If the court needs money in the future, where will he get it?
Without money, who of those officials would be willing to follow him?
The second prince could already imagine the scene in the future when court officials would abandon him one after another.
At this moment, the second prince was extremely irritable. He kicked over the stool next to him, took the teacup in his hand, and threw it to the ground.
After a long time, the second prince finally calmed down.
He thought about the third prince and the fifth prince going to kill Chen Qingzhi. As long as Chen Qingzhi died, Chen Changfeng would have broken one of his wings.
His second prince is not without gains either.
Now, he could only hope that the third prince and the fifth prince would do their job well and kill Chen Qingzhi.
…
The third prince and the fifth prince were also worried at the moment.
They thought the woman in front of them was an ordinary person, and they thought they couldn't win over a woman.
Unexpectedly, before anyone could get close, the two of them were knocked to the ground by Qi Yue with her sword scabbard, and they couldn't get up for a long time.
Before they could recover, Qi Yue forced them to carry Chen Qingzhi out of the dungeon.
If the third prince and the fifth prince dared to disobey, they would carry Chen Qingzhi away.
While carrying it, the fifth prince noticed that Chen Qingzhi seemed not dead yet, but Qi Yue was following him.
Seeing Qi Yue swinging his sword away, the heads of the two net members were separated, and blood spurted out two meters away. The fifth prince's feet were frightened and he did not dare to take action again, nor did he dare to tell the third prince about this.
The fighting outside has basically ended, there are corpses everywhere, and no one in the net is left standing.
Many veterans were killed in front of Huo Qubing, and the smell of blood filled the entire venue.
"Chen Changfeng asked me to hand the person over to you. He is still alive, but if he doesn't save him, he will die." Qi Yue left a message to Huo Qubing, and the person disappeared.
Huo Qubing's expression changed drastically, and the veterans behind him quickly carried Chen Qingzhi away.
The third prince and the fifth prince stood in front of Huo Qubing, neither leaving nor leaving.
The third prince was even more worried. Chen Qingzhi was stabbed by the fifth prince, but he was still alive?
