The first thousand two hundred and fifty-three chapters when the court elder's statement
After a few private messages and an assessment of the situation, the old emperor finally chose to seek confirmation from Di Xin, and after learning the truth, they formed an alliance.
This also led to a series of things that happened next.
Then the situation today came into being.
King Cheng, who also came from the outside world, could come up with something that did not belong to this world. Although the old emperor was also somewhat interested, the firearms offered by Emperor Xin had already been approved by him.
He realized once again that when he found out some truth, he did not indiscriminately eliminate the boss and the fifth child at the same time.
Even the small countries around Dali have their own strengths, let alone another big world different from the Ancient Moon World.
Sure enough, Di Xin gave him a huge surprise today.
The old emperor looked at Di Xin with more and more satisfaction.
However, Di Xin's feeling was: "..."
Although he is indeed occupying the body of the old emperor's son, they have confessed their identities to each other. What's going on with this look of relief at the son?
Di Xin resisted the urge to twitch the corners of his mouth and got rid of those weird feelings in his mind.
After all, this body belongs to the old emperor's son, and he has not changed his appearance or anything. Just look at his son's eyes, and he will not feel offended by this.
After all, although he was not the one who killed the former King Yu, he still occupied King Yu's body, and he still felt a little guilty for the father of King Yu in front of him.
Otherwise, even if he was acting, how could he shout the word "Father"?
It's just a small amount of compensation.
…
"Father."
Emperor Xin maintained the persona of a quasi-prince. He stood three steps in front of the old emperor, lowered his head and cupped his hands and said: "This is the treasure that I want to offer. I wonder if my father is satisfied with it?"
"Hahaha……"
The old emperor laughed a few times with joy, and said with half acting and half sincerity: "You are indeed my good son. It is my great blessing to have you as my father!"
After inadvertently taking advantage of Di Xin, he looked sideways at the civil and military officials around him and asked with a smile: "What do you think, sir?"
The ministers were already frightened by the firearms, and now they saw the old emperor's expression, how could they not know how to express it?
"Is this a firearm? It's such a unique thing!"
"What your Majesty said is true. His Royal Highness is indeed my great blessing!"
"With this firearm, my army from Dali will definitely look down on everything it looks like!"
"Thanks to Your Majesty Hongfu, today I am really eye-opening..."
"Your Majesty..."
What they said varied, but what they all had in common was that they were praising Tixin and firearms, sometimes mixed with flattery towards the old emperor.
Although there was some noise, the old emperor and Di Xin glanced at each other without anyone noticing, and both saw the smile in each other's eyes.
Excluding those flattering words, today's matter should be settled.
After the Baiguan's voice became slightly quieter, Di Xin spoke leisurely.
"Father, can this firearm be promoted to the military?"
"This is how a country's sharp weapon should be."
The old emperor nodded without hesitation and asked again: "Do you have any opinions?"
No, we don't.
Baiguan's eyes couldn't help but glance at the artillery standing dozens of meters away.
They have the illusion that if they dare to express any opinions, the shells from the cannon will fall on their mansion tomorrow.
Of course, since it was an illusion, they also knew that it was impossible for this to happen.
Different opinions are allowed to appear in the court. Otherwise, if all speech is based on force, the ones with the greatest say should be the military commanders and nobles.
But a person who can become a Beijing official will naturally not be a fool.
They can also see the benefits to Dali of equipping the army with firearms.
Apart from anything else, if the border armies in the early years had this weapon, then if those barbarians had been given the courage, they would not have dared to invade the Dali border.
And some smart people have discovered the cooperation between the old emperor and Di Xin.
What happened today was not the whim of His Majesty the Crown Prince, but a show that was already discussed with His Majesty and performed in front of them.
The current and future owners of Dali have such high regard for firearms, which means that the promotion of firearms in the military is an irreversible trend.
Following the general trend, the actions of His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince today are just to see how much resistance they will encounter.
As for the resistance that stands in front of the general trend, if it refuses to follow the trend, there will only be one end.
That means being crushed to pieces.
But the first person to speak was not an official in the general camp, but a cabinet minister.
Li Zhengfu is not many years away from retirement. Although his chosen successor was forced to go out due to a big commotion caused by Emperor Xin a few years ago, after so many things happened in the capital, he now does not want to go back.
What trouble are you causing yourself?
The so-called three things to do when a new official takes office.
The thank you guests behind closed doors a few days ago was the first step that His Highness, the Crown Prince-to-be, used to intimidate all the officials.
Today's firearms show is the second fire to show off your abilities.
He didn't want to be the third weapon used by Emperor Xin to scare the monkeys.
After seeing Di Xin's methods, he no longer had the idea of controlling the government after retirement. He just wanted to be able to retire in peace and contentment.
With the intimidation of the would-be crown prince, hundreds of officials will have to tighten their tails to get by in the next few years.
All those who want to make trouble must stop thinking in the past few years.
And he retired in the past few years.
In other words, even if he no longer has the right to speak after retirement, his political opponents will not take action against him in the past few years.
After the best time for revenge has passed and time has passed, it will be difficult for them to find a reason to retaliate again.
And when the time comes, a new political enemy will also hinder their energy. He is a bad old man who is no longer in the court, and his importance will naturally be ranked lower.
Above the court, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
Although he and Di Xin had some conflicts before because of Yang Youxu, those conflicts were no longer important after seeing the dawn of his retirement.
The first thing he expressed was to express his goodwill to Di Xin.
As long as the would-be crown prince does not retaliate against him after retirement, other officials will not do such unnecessary things.
"Your Majesty, I feel that His Highness the Crown Prince's proposal is excellent. Equipping yourself with firearms will be of great benefit to me, Da Li, and I must not use it."
"My emperor is wise, His Royal Highness the prince is wise!"
As he spoke, Li Zhengfu even ignored his old body and prostrated on the ground again.
The old man burst into tears.
It was as if I was shocked to see the grand scene of the great future.
