Chapter 67 Don’t Be the Spare Cousin of a Time-Traveling Girl 13
There was an explosion and the emperor was crushed under the rubble.
He, the crown prince, could then legitimately succeed to the throne, and the issue of the civil and military officials who were buried with him would be even easier to deal with.
As long as the family was given enough honor and a lavish funeral, no one would dare to object to the emperor.
After he ascended the throne, he opened special examinations to recruit talented people. The people saw a path for advancement and not only did they no longer have any doubts about him, but they also praised him as a wise king and holy ruler.
Lu Chengchuan's plan could be said to be flawless. Even Yun Yi did not expect that he would kill everyone in the court.
The only thing that was overlooked was that since Uncle Zhong developed various types of fireworks and firecrackers, Prince Ling secretly monopolized all the gunpowder coming to the capital in order to make more money.
Suddenly a batch of gunpowder flowed to another place. After investigating, they naturally knew what Lu Chengchuan was going to do.
Yunling spent this New Year in the army. When he heard about this, he was so shocked that he couldn't describe it.
After returning home, I couldn't wait to find Yun Yi and wanted to know all the details.
"Brother, you happened to be at the birthday party that night and witnessed the whole process. Tell me quickly, is there anything else I don't know?"
Yunling's eyes were piercing and unusually bright.
"Your Majesty did not order all officials to remain silent. What happened that night has already spread everywhere, and you are the only one who knows about it." Yun Yi spread his hands.
Yun Ling's eyes flickered slightly, and he took a step forward and asked, "The new emperor has been fighting with Lu Chengchuan for so many years. Is it true that he just imprisoned him and didn't kill him?"
Or maybe this is just for show.
Are you planning to get rid of this person secretly in a few years?
"I've told you to be careful, why are you still so outspoken?" Yun Yi glanced at him, "Does the emperor need to tell you how to act?"
"You are speculating and making irresponsible remarks about His Majesty's actions. Do you want to die?"
Yun Ling covered his mouth immediately after hearing this, "I won't ask anymore, I won't ask anymore, big brother, just pretend you didn't hear it."
Isn't it because they were the only two brothers in the study room, so they thought they could say it?
My eldest brother is so cautious even in his own family, no wonder he is trusted by the new emperor and appointed as the Minister of War.
As luck would have it, the person who was killed by a sword from the black-armored soldiers in the hall was the Minister of War.
Relying on his martial arts skills and the fact that he had not drunk too much liquor with spiky liquor, he thought he could escape, but he was killed in the end.
After King Yan ascended the throne, he appointed Yun Yi as the Minister of War and asked him to write a memorial on the plan for reorganizing the border troops.
"I know you want to travel around the world with Prince Ling, but Lu Chengchuan has been captured for treason, and I have just ascended the throne and the morale of the army is unstable. If a neighboring country attacks us in this way, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with it."
"When you come up with a solution, after you have inspected the border, I will allow you to go to the Ministry of Revenue and be in charge of the merchant caravan's sailing."
The new emperor had already drawn the pie, and Yun Yi had no choice but to agree.
"I will definitely live up to your Majesty's trust." Yun Yi bowed and left.
After he left the Qinzheng Hall, Prince Ling walked out from behind the screen.
Sensing something fishy, he asked, "Second Brother, did you agree to Yun Yi going to the Ministry of Revenue? Is it really just to supervise the merchant caravan going out to sea?"
Yun Yi just recommended Uncle Zhong, and he made a fortune by making new types of fireworks.
Although the treasury had been filled a lot after confiscating Jiang Rang's business, as an emperor managing a vast territory, there were countless places where money was needed.
After Yun Yi goes to the Ministry of Revenue, the first thing he will be asked to do is to think of ways to make money.
"Don't worry, Yun Yi is smarter than you. He knows my thoughts very well. I won't delay him from going out to sea with you."
The new emperor did not think it was a bad thing that his ministers saw through his thoughts.
Yun Yi is a smart man. After seeing through his thoughts, he knows what he should do.
The way of survival between the monarch and his subjects depends on guessing each other. Yun Yi is smarter than them and can see through his thoughts, which saves him a lot of trouble.
After the new emperor said this, Prince Ling became more curious. What would Yun Yi do?
But no matter how curious he was, he could only be patient and wait.
In the following year, Yun Yi patrolled the border and rectified military discipline. At the same time, he improved the original martial arts methods of the soldiers and formulated new strategies and tactics. Immediately, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers increased sharply.
There really were small countries around there that wanted to take advantage of the new emperor's accession to the throne when the military morale was unstable to invade, but they were beaten back in just one night.
After this battle, everyone saw that Yun Yi's method was feasible, and they trained even harder.
After all, they have already joined the army. While defending their country, they also want to bring honor to their family by making military achievements.
After nearly two years of hard work, Yun Yi finally arrived in the South China Sea again. Together with King Ling, he boarded a ship that had been built a long time ago and sailed towards the endless ocean.
On the deck, the slightly salty sea breeze blew over, bringing bursts of moisture.
Looking at the boundless sea horizon, my mind becomes more open.
"Just before I boarded the ship, I received news that Lu Chengchuan was seriously ill and I don't know how long he can live." Prince Ling walked onto the deck with two wine bags and handed one to Yun Yi.
Yun Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Although the prince's job was not happy before, he was still second only to the emperor. Being suddenly imprisoned is too big a gap. He must be sick if he can't accept it."
"If he died so soon, people would speculate that my second brother had secretly killed him, and there would definitely be a lot of discussion." Prince Ling snorted.
Of course he knew that those comments were insignificant, but his second brother clearly did not do anything to Lu Chengchuan, and it was still very unpleasant to be slandered for no reason.
Yun Yi took a sip of wine and smiled without saying anything.
What could he say?
Lu Chengchuan's health deteriorated so quickly because of the medicine he gave Shen Jiaojiao.
Because Lu Chengchuan "favored" Queen Shen Jiaojiao, the original owner was not executed even though she was "collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country."
On the road to exile, the original owner thought about committing suicide and almost died from illness, but was rescued by Lu Chengchuan's men.
Of course, Lu Chengchuan was not that kind-hearted, nor was he soft-hearted towards the original owner. He just simply wanted the original owner to watch him sit on the throne with the power of life and death, and marry the original owner's favorite woman.
In the plot, Lu Chengchuan did not perform a scene in which he blew up all the civil and military officials, but his crazy behavior was still shown.
In response to this, Yun Yi could only say that he could not understand the logic behind the madman's behavior.
If he really understood it, he would be not far from becoming a madman.
Lying on the sickbed, the new emperor will not let him die in a short time for the sake of his reputation. What awaits Lu Chengchuan next is torture more unbearable than death.
Sure enough, after they returned from their voyage, people were full of praise for the new emperor.
Lu Chengchuan was bedridden. The new emperor let bygones be bygones and asked the imperial physician to treat him with all his heart, using all kinds of precious medicinal materials as if they were free of charge. However, Lu Chengchuan's health was really not good and he never got better.
On the day Yun Yi returned to Beijing, the news of Lu Chengchuan's death came out.
The new emperor was kind and allowed him to be buried with the rites of a prince, which naturally won him a lot of praise.
