Changsun Tianji frowned and pondered for a while, saying... "The Censor's failure to impeach the Grand General's system of envoyment. In order to rebel, this is a huge matter. In any case, Your Majesty should not be the current method of ignoring the matter. The Censor's Grand Secretary Gao Zhen is Pei Yun's children and relatives. He knows that this memorial must be instructed by Pei Yun, and there may even be shadows of Yuwen Shu and Pei Shiju."

Fang Xuanling sighed, "The emperor is already suspicious of the general!"

"Impossible!" Cheng Yaojin shook his head and disagreed, "If the emperor really suspected the general, wouldn't this impeachment memorial be taken advantage of the Bird Emperor's intention? Some of it was really a handle. If he really suspected the general, he should have taken action long ago. I have heard that although the impeachment memorial was only circulated today, it is said that the memorial was sent to the palace the night when the general was stabbed. It was already so great that the emperor did not move, and it was obvious that he still believed in the general."

Chen Kefu reached out to stop Cheng Yaojin and said again, turning to Fang Xuanling and saying, "Xuanling, you said!"

"The matter is already very obvious. Although this memorial was submitted to the Censor Gao Zhen, he urgently entered the palace to report two hours after the assassination of the Grand Marshal. So this matter is as Wuji said. This is the self-protection remedy taken by the two families of Yuwen Shu and Pei Yun after the assassination failed. If this military rank is brought out alone, with the current status of the Grand Marshal, coupled with his merits and the current Turkic situation, Your Majesty will not make a fuss about this matter. However, another friend of mine in the capital, he had just come to the wedding banquet with his father. He told me that Pei Yun has been constantly submitting memorials to the emperor through the Censorate these days, and it was all in Liaodong.

He was not sure about the specific content, only knew that it involved Liaodong grain, Khitan shoes, Ju Sila and other tribes.

There are even si money from Liaodong, Baojia, township soldiers, militia and other matters."

Fang Xuanling said with a heavy face, "My friend's father is an official in Neishi Provincial Department, and his position is not low, and he has a good relationship with Yu Shiji. The general also told me about Liaodong.

So based on my friend's words, I believe that Yuwen Shu, Pei Yun and others have found some flaws in our Liaodong. Military ranks are not enough to disrupt the emperor's intentions, but if one such thing is reported to the emperor, then with Yang Guang's suspicious attitude, he must have been suspicious of the general. The reason why there is no movement yet is that he can have no definite evidence for those si money, food and equipment. Another point is that it is also possible that he does not want to alarm the enemy and wants to hold his troops first. The key is to take down our Liaodong army in one fell swoop.

Chen Kefu nodded, his face was also very ugly. Although he hid and hoarded food and grass, built armor and equipment, and even made money and coins very secretly. However, these things are so big that there is no airtight wall in the world. Moreover, the other party does not need exact evidence at all. As long as he knows this matter, just some rumors can put him in danger. Yang Guang's delay in expressing his opinion this time also shows the seriousness of the matter.

If Yang Guang believed him, then the impeachment case in this section must have been announced early, so that he could defend himself, or even resign. Yang Guang even directly rejected Gao Zhen's impeachment and gave him peace of mind. But now, it is secretly revealed, and it is obvious that he is already secretly investigating the matter.

It is even very likely that Yang Guang is planning how to take over the Liaodong Army safely after he is taken down. It is easy to take over Chen Kefu, but more than 100,000 Liaodong Army cannot be taken over with such a simple way.

He built the Liaodong Army with one hand, and now the people in charge of military power are all his confidants. If Yang Guang cannot find strong evidence to prove that he was guilty of a crime of corruption, Yang Guang did not dare to arrest him early at the risk of a mutiny in the Liaodong Army. Yang Guang did not touch him for the time being, perhaps one was that he still believed him, and the other was that there was no definite evidence and he was afraid of being attacked.

〖Fang〗The Chinese civil and military officials looked at Chen Kefu, waiting for his final decision. Chen Kefu did not say a word, and his right hand kept knocking gently on the table. After a while, he took a long breath and said firmly, "It seems that Lou's plan is going to change."

In the Liangyi Hall of Ziwei Palace, Yang Guang sat upright on the dragon chaise on the platform, quietly watching the few people kneeling under the platform.

"Your Majesty has completed the task assigned to me. Ten days ago, I sent all the black-clothed iron guards to verify the affairs of Chen Kefu in Liaodong. Before pacifying Liaodong, Chen Kefu did change the military system and set up military ranks. After establishing the Liaodong camp, the military system was completely changed to a regular military system, but the military ranks were still in use. Moreover, the military ranks were considered very important in the Liaodong army. In addition, we investigated the military rations for many days, plus the witnesses of the Censorate and the news collected from those merchants, we predicted that Liaodong had hoarded a large amount of food. It was initially expected that Liaodong would have at least secretly hoarded 10 million stones of food, or even more. Moreover, since the pacification of Liaodong, Chen Kefu has never stopped purchasing grain through merchants from all over the country."

"What about the army, soldiers?" Yang Guang said coldly with a expressionless face.

Sima Dekan lowered his head and said, "We accidentally found an important news about the ordnance. When Chen Kefu stayed in Liaodong, all the equipment craftsmen in the army were retained by him, and basically they were retained and not incorporated into the army. It was not as stated in his memorial that most of the craftsmen died in wars. Those people did not die, but were secretly hidden by him, and they were always building the ordnance. What shocked us even more was that Chen Kefu had already mastered a very important weapon, black gunpowder, more than a year ago. It is said that this black gunpowder was developed by Chen Kefu himself.

Later, the craftsmen used black gunpowder to develop various sharp weapons such as the thunder and thunder and iron bombs, landmines, mines, mines, and even rockets, poisonous fire bombs. "I heard that Chen Kefu used this gunpowder weapon to annihilate 20,000 troops from the Goguryeo coalition in Xincheng at one time. The gunpowder was powerful and the cornerstone even the strong city wall like Xincheng was directly exploded. During the battle of defending the city in Liaoyang, Chen Kefu almost lost the city at that time. It was this gunpowder bag that saved Liaoyang City. According to our knowledge from all over the world, Chen Kefu's Liaodong army has now manufactured a large number of gunpowder weapons...

Xincheng is the third fortress in Liaodong. Yang Guang had personally seen this fortress. Of course, he knew how strong the solid mountain city wall built with solid stones was. But he could not imagine how powerful the gunpowder was, so that the city wall could explode into a passage. In order to seize Liaoyang City, millions of troops had piled up their lives for two months without building Liaoyang City. He could not imagine how powerful the gunpowder had reached.

"Have you got this recipe for black gunpowder? And the power of this gunpowder is really so great?

Have you confirmed it? And how much of this kind of gunpowder is there in the Liaodong army?" When asked, Yang Guang's voice was already a little sharp. This sudden unknown weapon made him feel a sense of fear. This is an unknown fear. For example, hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry were never afraid, because no matter how powerful the cavalry was, he had a way to restrain it.

But this kind of black gunpowder that could directly blow up the city wall at once made him feel powerless.

When Sima Dekan heard this kind of gunpowder for the first time, he couldn't believe it. After verifying it from multiple parties, he finally believed it.

"Your Majesty, I found out that the Liaodong Army had a special firearms bureau, which was set up in the northernmost part of the Golden Lion Bastion in Fuyu County, Liaodong. According to our news, there are many black gunpowder weapons in the Liaodong Army.

The power of black gunpowder sounds amazing, but it is limited to real use. If an ordinary thunder gunpowder pack is thrown into a dense array, as long as the soldiers can scatter in time, it can only kill two or three people and injure several people at most. Such explosives can be packed with twenty kilograms of black gunpowder. They must be shot with a catapult. As for the purpose of blowing up a city wall like Xincheng, you must first need thousands of kilograms of gunpowder, and secondly, it must be buried under the city wall. So under normal circumstances, the guardian of the city does not have to worry about the black gunpowder blowing up the city wall. As for landmines,

It was specially buried on the road that the army must pass, and the mines floated in the water, and these were all restricted. And..." After listening to Sima Dekan carefully telling some of the situations of black gunpowder weapons, Yang Guang finally felt much more at ease. Although this black gunpowder is very powerful, it finally has weaknesses. Just like a large building car or even a city hammer, it is an unconventional weapon. Especially after hearing that it is impossible to easily explode the city wall, Yang Guang felt much more at ease. Fortunately, there are so many restrictions, otherwise Yang Guang would not have thought about how to face these weapons.

"How many soldiers are there in the Liaodong Army? How many people did Chen Kefu master? If he rebel, how many people would follow?" After these days of consideration, Yang Guang was no longer at ease with Chen Kefu. After the black gunpowder incident just now, Yang Guang could not keep Chen Kefu. Chen Kefu had such powerful gunpowder weapons, but he did not mention him at all, and he also hoarded so much food and equipment, and the evidence of rebellion was accurate. What he had to do now was how to eliminate Chen Kefu at the lowest cost.

Sima Dekan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, Chen Kefu has a very thorough grasp of the Liaodong Army. This army was completely brought up by him. Now the Liaodong Army's government, county and town soldiers totaled nearly 130,000, and all of them were well-equipped and well-equipped. In addition..., Chen Kefu also had about 10,000 well-trained and well-equipped village soldiers. He received professional training and could go to the battlefield by just distributing weapons and armor. And now there are more than 2 million people in Liaodong, and he can also convene a 10,000 troops in the shortest period. If Chen Kefu rebelled, then he could raise about 270,000 troops in one month, half of which were veterans who had experienced more than ten major battles."!
