Chapter 471 That night, chrysanthemums filled Luoyang ([-])
"However, I can tell you that I already knew that Zong Chuke was dissatisfied with me. So I put some eyeliner around him and got some clues. I knew that tonight might be a grand feast. Empress, do you believe it?"

Wang Hua had no choice but to tell a lie, or else he would have escaped immediately when he heard the sound of turning the pot, and after checking later, even the whole family disappeared, which also let Webster know that he had obtained the news in advance.So answer it like this.As for whether Zong Chuke is strict with his mouth, and whether he has communicated with anyone, Webster and Zong Chuke have to argue about this.

At least one thing, Shangguan Xiaowan has good intentions, and Shangguan Xiaowan cannot be involved.

"Do you know why Gu wanted to kill you?" Webster obviously didn't take his words seriously.Believe it or not, I will analyze it slowly after I have it.

"I've thought about it too." Now that this is the case, Wang Hua doesn't need to call himself a minister, he replied: "It's just because I went to Shazhou once, and learned from the mouth of the Tubo general Zhaheling that he bumped into him that year. The lacquer carving was entrusted by the empress. Then I wondered if the Mangzixiang case was instigated by the empress. After all, the situation was chaotic at that time, which was very beneficial to the status of the emperor and empress. So I sent the guards at home to Wei The family checked it out, and it may have been exposed."

Wang Hua still gave half-truths and half-false answers.

This was informed by Shangguan Xiaowan, but the same cannot be said, not even the knife and arrow on the Tianjin Bridge.As for the betrayal of Zhahe Mausoleum, that is irrelevant. Now Wang Hua hopes that Webster can persecute the group of Tubo people in Shazhou so that they can be taken in by him.

"It was instigated alone. Not only were these two incidents instigated alone, but also the incident on the Tianjin Bridge when you sent troops to Luoyang. But at that time, I did not want you to die, but let Jiang Mingwei seriously injure you. And Just make the situation beneficial to Gu and His Majesty."

Webster's statement is also half-truth.

She doesn't know martial arts, and she doesn't know the weight of the shot.Wang Hua vividly remembered what happened at that time, if he hadn't dodged quickly, the knife was coming straight to his heart, how could he say he didn't want him to die?What's more, once he died, the matter would become even more serious. If he pursued him hard, the five kings would not have a good life at that time.First of all, those who are still in the capital must think that it was the five kings who did it. At that time, Webster only needs to quote him and say that it was the five kings.Leading to Li Dan, Li Dan is also in danger.

If it was me, I would make such a choice too.It's just that I have always looked down on this woman before.

Wang Hua didn't argue with her, and asked again: "So the little Princess was kidnapped by the Queen?"

This is also an unsolved mystery. Wang Hua once suspected that Zhang Zhi and Wang Shen were instigated, and Zhang Zhongjian's descendants also said that Wang Jian once had Li Chiying's idea and sent people to Yanzhou to carry out activities .But after thinking about it, they didn't have this ability. Later, the two families were all arrested and tortured, but no one admitted it.

The main suspect was Li Dan, and Princess Taiping later swore that it was not Li Dan who did it.Of course, Wang Hua didn't take Princess Taiping's oath seriously.But there are also doubts.Now the suspicion is on Webster's head.

"No," Webster replied frankly.Now that life and death meet, there is no need to hide it from Wang Hua.

"Then who did it?" Wang Hua asked puzzledly, then quickly regained his senses, and said again: "But I don't understand. I have always been disgusted with what the queen did, but because of Zou'er , I didn't interfere. It's just that the queen did something against me before, I just verified it. I have some grievances with the Wei family, and the queen is very clear about it. I am very kind to the Wei family. Later, the food price matter, although I made a lot of money , but took a huge risk. This is small and big, so I didn't implicate the Wei family. But the Wei family has been greedy again and again, I did some counterattacks, but that is a family matter. I couldn't get used to it in the court, but I didn't say anything. Why did the queen want to kill me?"

This is still a half-truth.

But it is by no means nonsense, tonight was a bit dangerous, but after escaping, he showed his strength and forced Webster.Now that he said these words again, Wei Shi must hate her for pushing Wang Hua too fast, which led to this situation.

But who will be to blame in the end?Then Zong Chuke can only be blamed for his narrow-mindedness and bad ideas.Once the two are separated, Zong Chuke's political life will end, and Webster will also lose one supporter.

"You're right, Gu has thought about it that way. But you can't even see through the power you have. Don't deny that. This power is out of Gu's grasp, and it is hostile to Gu. , so I had no choice but to make this decision.”

"If the queen says that, I have nothing to say. Yes, I have some people in my hands, but they are for the convenience of doing things and for self-protection. Queen, have you thought about how many dangers I have encountered in these years and how many forces have opposed me?" I am hostile, if I don’t have a force in my hands, how can I rest assured? If I am this short-sighted person, will it be worthwhile for the emperor to go to war tonight?”

"Can Gu Neng ask you a few questions?" Wei Shi obviously didn't want to argue about this issue, and he didn't make sense in the end.Don't ask Wang Hua what he has done with this power, at least for now, he is for the country and the people.Without this power, Wang Hua would not have been able to overturn the situation in the food war and money war, and now he cannot sit safely in the position of queen.

"Just ask the queen, she will tell you everything."

"Is there such a thing in the Mayan country?"

"Yes, but it is not as powerful as what I said. The level of civilization is similar to that of the Pyu Kingdom, and there is still a distance from Tianzhu Kingdom and our Tang Dynasty."

"So, you have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

"Queen, if you said that, Zhou Yafu would have been hacked to death long ago in Xiliu Camp. I don't admit the crime of deceiving the emperor. On the contrary, I always think that the emperor is a loyal elder. The reason why I lied is because A gentleman is not guilty, but a jade is guilty. Even a small firecracker and shipbuilding technology are coveted, and even the queen supports this matter, let alone other things that I have?"

"What else do you have?" Webster was now confident and obviously interested.This is also a rare time to be able to show Wang Hua's true tone.Usually too cunning, not revealing anything.

"The main ingredient in making fireworks and firecrackers is explosives, but now I have my subordinates research only a low-level explosive, and there will be a better formula later. This kind of power is ten times and a hundred times stronger than the current explosives. And it can be used to make many weapons. These weapons will also be dedicated to the imperial court, but I am afraid of the crime of carrying jade, and I will use the excuse of the Maya Kingdom," Wang Hua said here, with a calm expression, which is also what he said in his heart.He continued: "Not only this, but also a plant that I have planted overseas. After a few years of harvest, it will also make a great contribution to the Tang Dynasty."

This is rubber.

Don't underestimate it. With its simple structure, it can be used as a wheel. With rubber tires, it will increase the load capacity and speed of the current carriage. The first contribution is not trivial.There are also civilian ones, such as various rubber products.Even at sea, you can also make some simple rubber rafts and life buoys.There are also raincoats, rubber shoes and so on.

Of course, Wang Hua will be more profitable at that time.

"Also, the miscellaneous grains that have been put out are the seeds that I have made my subordinates waste all the hard work and found from overseas. And the cotton that the queen also knows. My reputation is enough, and I don't need to add false fame. But these Things will be returned to the court, to the country, and to the people one by one, but the methods are different."

"So, you also researched the new type of medicinal jade sold by Taiyuan Wang's family? And the cement of Shibajia's, as well as the steel keel used on your boat."

"That's right, I asked my subordinates to research it. This is just the beginning, and there are better things to come." Hearing this, the corner of Webster's mouth twitched, thinking, after tonight, you still have after?But now, after hearing these inside stories, she is also a woman with a heart of gossip. Out of curiosity, she almost forgot the business, and really wanted to get them out of Wang Hua's mouth one by one.Wang Hua continued: "Cement and medicinal jade are just commodities, and have nothing to do with the importance. This is also a compromise I reached with the Taiyuan Wang family and Shibajia. For the country, just that kind of new steel may play an important role. However, the technology has not yet reached a perfect level, and what is mined is also smelted from overseas rich iron ore. So I have not handed it over to the imperial court."

The latter sentence is false, even if the technology is mature, Wang Hua will not hand it in.Who is the court now?Mingyi is Li Xian's country, but in fact more than half of it is Webster's country.Could Wang Hua be a fool?However, this technology will be handed over sooner or later, which will be of great benefit to the entire nation.However, there is a premise that when the time comes, at least it cannot be the benefit of a certain family.So not only can it not be handed over now, it may not be handed over in ten or twenty years.Anyway, Wang Hua is only in his early twenties. With his current body, if there is no accident, he can live for 20 to 50 years, which is the minimum.

As for the confession of the Taiyuan Wang family and the eighteen families, what's the problem?

Wei Shi was at most unhappy. Before she officially gained power, what could she do to these huge families?

Even Wang Hua himself, because of the weak family power, otherwise, with half of the human resources of the Wang family in Taiyuan, plus the power he controls, Webster would not have made the mistake he made today.

Wei Shi was also verified, but her eyes were a little dull.

If these things were obtained by Wang Hua from the Maya Kingdom by chance, it would not be a pity.But Wang Hua developed it by himself, and Wang Hua's wisdom is no small matter.It is a pity that such a talent was not used by her, but forced her to kill him now.

But this woman is what Wang Hua thinks of. A black peony is beautiful, but noble is even more noble. Who else in the world is more noble than her.But the vicious heart is also unmatched.

This pity just passed by in an instant, and she immediately regained her senses. She continued to ask: "Then where is the overseas you mentioned? Is it the island where you destroyed the Wei family's fleet last time?"

"That's only part of it. Not only on that island, but all the surrounding islands are under my control. Farther to the southeast, there is a larger island with an area similar to that of our Tang Dynasty, at least larger than our Tang Dynasty's actual control. The area is even larger, and this is already under my actual control."

"Then how many people do you have under your command?" Webster finally stood up in surprise, not only she, but also the two guarding eunuchs beside her were momentarily absent-minded.This gave Wang Hua the idea of ​​jumping over and arresting Wei Shi immediately.But the two eunuchs immediately calmed down and stared at Wang Hua with more vigilant eyes, so Wang Hua gave up.

"More than 200 million people, but they are all slaves who were taken captive. There are very few Tang people. They are all prepared for the imperial court, including a large part of the grain shipped at a low price, all of which are grown on this land. But this is Overseas, you can plunder, but the government's management may cause bad consequences, just like Yizhou. So I didn't hand it over."

Wang Hua is defending himself, but if the court treats him well and the court is clear, he has even thought of handing it over.That's it, and consciously put these places under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty, at most it is a vassal state.

He considered this point when he was making the tripod of Kyushu. Not only Oceania, but also other places were included in the scope of New Kyushu.Moreover, Wang Hua did not destroy Jiuding's style drawings, but deliberately kept them at home, waiting for the imperial court to search the house tomorrow morning to find them out and prove his "loyalty".

But Wang Hua didn't completely "pour out his heart". Not only did he have slaves, but there were also many people from the Tang Dynasty.Last year, tens of thousands of people from the Tang Dynasty were continuously transported out.Now there are quite a few authentic Han people in Oceania and several islands in Southeast Asia.Otherwise, Wang Hua would not have the ability to control such a large population.

"Then why didn't you flee overseas when you learned that you might be alone to hurt you, at least you can be an overseas king?" When Webster asked this sentence, there was a strong bitterness in his mouth.The news I heard tonight was astonishing.

"Queen, in the final analysis, I am still a Chinese. I was born as a Chinese, and I want to be a Chinese ghost even if I die. No matter how beautiful the overseas king is, I am also an overseas king. I don't want to. Besides, I am really not interested in the throne. .Although I got the news, it was just a guess. Where did I send my family, but I still stayed to see if things could turn around. Besides, after waiting for so long with Bao'er, I don't want any accidents." This sentence The words are Wang Hua's sincere words.But there is one thing, he didn't talk about the people of Tang Dynasty, but the people of Huaxia.I am just a Chinese, not from your Li family, let alone a subject of your Wei family.

It doesn't matter if Wang Hua says it now.At [-], the whole family boarded a boat and left Gong County, but they went to Mount Song to worship Buddha under the pretext.In fact, it was only an irrelevant servant who went to Songshan, and they were divided into several groups. Even these servants did not know that the Wang family and related personnel did not go to Songshan because of this disturbance.

This is leaving on the fastest boat of the family.I also took a shortcut, going straight to the mouth of the Yellow River.When they go out to sea, they have their own sea boats to meet them.Now that he has reached the mouth of the sea, even if Webster orders him to catch up now, he will not be able to catch up.

As for going to the Luzon Islands to destroy his subordinates, does the imperial court have so many ships?And being at sea is not on land, can soldiers adapt?Just to be able to log in, what about the supply?If so, the Tang Dynasty would have opened its territory to Persia long ago, instead of waiting for the big cannibals to come and embezzle it.

And the most crucial effect of this sentence is that Wang Hua escaped from the palace, not going to Oceania, but to Shannan.But when Webster heard the news, he would immediately send heavy troops to seal off all checkpoints in the east.What happened to Li Chongjun will happen again.It's just that I won't make Li Chongjun's mistakes, instead of heading east all the way, but going all the way west, there are mountains along the way, which can be his cover.

Therefore, Wang Hua seemed to have spit out a lot of inside information when he was answering with Webster, but it was also a battle of wits.

"But what are you going to do now?" Webster felt a little guilty. So far, Wang Hua has been talking eloquently, showing no sign of nervousness or fear.She was very suspicious of what Wang Hua was up to.

"What should I do now? It depends on what the queen wants. If the queen thinks that the minister should not die, I will still have a little credit for the emperor's queen. For Bao'er's sake, keep turning a blind eye. As long as the queen doesn't let the dog bite me, that's fine."

The dog Wang Hua mentioned was Zong Chuke.

But Wang Hua didn't expect this sentence to impress Webster.Even if Wei Shi really believed his words, when Wang Hua made a move, he would do the same.But in any case, it was a bit hasty tonight.If time gives him another month, he will quietly bring tens of thousands of elite soldiers to Luoyang.It wasn't that Wei Shi wanted to kill him, but could Wang Hua forgive Wei Shi?
But because Li Xian didn't die inexplicably, even if Wang Hua succeeded, the world would collapse immediately, and there would be endless wars.But since Webster wanted to kill himself, the world can no longer be peaceful.

"What if Gu doesn't let you go?"

"Since the queen won't let me go, I have no choice but to take chances and see if I can escape."

"I seem to have heard someone say that the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. Why don't they just surrender and arrest them now?" Webster said sarcastically.

Of course, it would be even better if Wang Hua could be captured alive. Under heavy punishment, not to mention one Wang Hua, even ten Wang Hua could force a confession.In this way, more useful information about Wang Hua can be obtained.Of course, this is also thinking about it, Wang Hua is not the one who can capture her alive.

"That depends on the situation. Now I am not guilty. On the contrary, the queen framed me several times and let me die. I am unwilling! And the queen, although you want to be the king now, you are not the king. You don't even have the qualifications Say this sentence, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die!"

This sentence made Webster annoyed, and she said coldly: "In this case, it's useless to say more!"

"That's how it should be!" After Wang Hua finished speaking, he smiled brightly.Then he took off the red official uniform on the outside, revealing the black leather armor inside, and drew out the soft sword.This scarlet official gown is unacceptable, it is not easy to move around, and it is particularly eye-catching in the night.Wang Hua looked at Wei Shi and said, "Then tonight, I'll see if the queen has set up a tight net and can keep me here."

As he spoke, he stood up, jumped up from the table, and dragged the long sword on the ground. Although it was a soft sword, under his force, the tip of the sword slashed across the floor, bringing out streaks of starlight , and bursts of crisp sword sounds.

As the sword tip dragged across, a very obvious crack appeared on the floor.

This is what Wang Hua looked like when he killed the enemy, his eyebrows were erected, his eyes were full of anger, and the crackling sounds of his joints could be heard.

Webster was taken aback.

Seeing her trembling, Wang Hua laughed again and said, "Queen, are you scared?"
