Li Longji, who had returned to his middle-aged state, had swept away his old stupidity and arrogance, and once again became Emperor Tang Minghuang, who followed good advice.
He didn't pretend to know what he didn't know and directly sent a video call request to Li Yang.
"Exalted Immortal, I've already received the flintlock and quaking thunders. But I don't know how to use it. Is there a spell to drive them?”
At this time, Li Yang was drinking water. When he heard Li Longji ask about the spell to use the gun, he immediately spat out all the water in his mouth.
"Old Li, this is a gun. The gunpowder was loaded into the barrel and fired with a flint. F * ck, what does that damn eunuch want to do? Stop!"
At this moment, Gao Lishi was holding a candle and walking towards the gunpowder box. He was already less than a foot away from it.
Gao Lishi was startled by Li Yang's angry roar. He turned to Li Yang and asked in confusion," Exalted Immortal, are you talking to me?”
"Of course! Damned eunuch, quickly extinguish the candle in your hand. The gunpowder will explode once it is ignited. With so much gunpowder, the entire Great Ming Palace would explode into the sky.”
Li Longji and Gao Lishi were shocked. They quickly blew out the candles.
Li Yang heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Li Longji and said with some lingering fear," Old Li, it's a good thing that you video-called me. Otherwise, this damn eunuch would have blown you into a meat paste!”
Gao Lishi fell to his knees with a thud." Your Majesty, this old servant really doesn't know that gunpowder is afraid of fire.”
"Forget it, Gao Lishi. As the saying goes, those who do not know are not guilty. To be honest, I didn't know gunpowder was afraid of fire.”
Li Yang looked at the old eunuch and said with great interest," So you're Gao Lishi. You seem to be quite loyal to Old Li."
Gao Lishi hurriedly kowtowed to Li Yang in the projection to express his gratitude.
Gao Lishi was a shrewd person. He knew that Li Yang's words had completely saved his career as a eunuch. Li Longji would definitely continue to trust him.
As he was worried that Li Longji and the others would play some tricks again, Li Yang directly asked the system to fill Li Longji's brain with the production and usage of the flintlock quaking thunder and gunpowder.
Li Longji's eyes lit up, and he immediately became an expert in using firearms.
He picked up a flintlock, opened a box of gunpowder, and poured in the gunpowder that had been packed in a small paper bag. Then, he aimed at a large pine tree a hundred steps away from the warehouse and fired the flint.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, a wisp of white smoke rose from the pine tree trunk.
Then Li Longji continued to launch
He fired twenty shots in a row, and each shot hit the pine tree. The gunshots startled the guards on duty and they rushed over.
They were surprised to see that the old Emperor seemed to have become much younger. His two blurry old eyes were shining brightly, and he was holding an iron pipe in his hand, hitting wherever he pointed.
After firing twenty shots, Li Longji suddenly burst into laughter.
He stroked the hot barrel in his hand and walked to a thick pine tree. He looked at the gun hole that was several inches deep in the tree and nodded in satisfaction. He said loudly," With this, I can easily pacify An Lushan!”
"Your Majesty is invincible!"
Seeing Li Longji's domineering attitude, Gao Lishi immediately flattered him.
The imperial guards all knelt down and shouted in unison," Your Majesty is invincible.”
Li Longji coldly looked at everyone and suddenly said in a deep voice,""Gao Lishi, you and the palace guards guard the warehouse. You are not allowed to leave. Guard the divine weapon that the God of Heaven gave me. I'll go and rest first."
Gao Lishi promised loudly, then ran to Li Longji's side and said in a low voice,"Wansui, do you want to rest in the Imperial Consort's room?”
Li Longji frowned and said," I have 3,000 concubines. Why do I need to dote on one person? Tonight, I will go to Tian Fei's room to rest."
Gao Lishi's heart skipped a beat. His Majesty had really changed.
It seemed that he was no longer fascinated by the beauty of the imperial concubine.
However, what Gao Lishi didn't expect was yet to come.
On the morning of the second day, Li Longji suddenly turned hostile and accused Prime Minister Yang Guozhong of abusing his power and failing three expeditions to Nanzhao. He had destroyed hundreds of thousands of elite border guards of the Tang Empire and his crime was not to be punished.
He immediately took down Yang Guozhong and his trusted aides in the imperial court.
Then, he sent troops to raid the houses of Yang Guozhong and the three Yang Sisters and confiscated hundreds of carts of gold, silver, and jewelry.
Yang Yuhuan was shocked when she learned that her cousin and three sisters had been raided. She quickly went to see Li Longji and tried to plead for mercy.
Who knew that Li Longji seemed to have completely changed into a person. He changed his past obedience to Yang Yuhuan and pointed out several major crimes of Yang Yuhuan entering the palace, saying that she specialized in the harem.
Without waiting for Yang Yuhuan to defend herself, she directly stripped Yang Yuhuan of her title of imperial concubine and banished her to the cold palace.
The next day, Yang Yuhuan was expelled from the palace and returned to Taizhen Temple to become a female Taoist priest.
In fact, Li Longji originally wanted to kill Yang Yuhuan directly. In his middle-aged state, Li Longji was decisive and no less than Tang Taizong Li Shimin.
However, when she thought of Li Yang's lecherous gaze when he sized up Yang Yuhuan, she thought," Old Li, don't spout nonsense. When did I become lecherous? I just looked at Yang Yuhuan a few more times.）Li Longji was worried about angering the immortals, so he left Yang Yuhuan a way out.
In just three days, Li Longji killed Yang Guozhong and his cronies outside the court gate.
The imperial court was instantly cleared up.
Some loyal and brave officials who were disappointed in Li Longji also regained their confidence. Some of the loyal and righteous people rushed to Chang 'an to help the king, either alone or with righteous people.
Li Longji personally received all the kings who had rushed to the capital and personally assessed them. Very quickly, a group of talents was selected.
Among them, Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, and Zhang Xun performed the best.
Another two swordsmen with extremely high martial arts skills, Lei Wanchun and Nan Jiyun, also led a group of Jianghu men into Chang 'an and were also put in an important position by Li Longji.
