Traitor Summoning System [Infrastructure]

The New Year banquet was in full swing. The hall was filled with all kinds of delicacies, and people wore jewels, brocades and gorgeous animal skins.Bards play cheerful music under the high windows on the second floor.

The hall has been remodeled by Heshen. The glazed blue bricks are good sound reflectors. After ingenious design, the whole hall has the effect of sound amplification. The sound from a specific position on the second floor can make the whole hall Everyone can hear clearly.

There are many similar designs in ancient China, such as the Temple of Heaven, the Grand Theater Building in the Garden of Prince Kung’s Mansion, and the Yingying Pagoda of Pujiu Temple. The Prince Kung’s Mansion was built by He Shen himself, so he is naturally very familiar with this aspect.

Leonard sat at the head of the crowd. In front of him was a long dining table of textured white marble. He was wearing a velvet coat covered with moonstones and other precious stones. He wore a crystal crown on his head. Under the light of the lamp, Every time he turned his head, the crystal crown emitted colorful light, so beautiful and dazzling that people dare not look directly at it.Of course, this must be He Shen's idea.

The clowns and jesters, dressed in colorful clothes, shuttled through the crowd, saying a few witty words from time to time, making everyone laugh.

Other than that, of course, everyone is feasting.

At this moment, the hall door suddenly opened.

The curtains fluttered, and the flames of the candles followed the wind. The cold wind rushed in, and many people shivered.

An untimely black figure walked in, and the din of the banquet was quieted down.

He scanned the entire banquet with his icy black eyes, finally stopped on Leonard, bowed deeply to him, and saluted.

It's Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian was wearing a black cloak, on which was embroidered the emblem of the former Prime Minister with silver thread.He bowed to Leonard first, his black cloak was covered with snow, and the attendant next to him helped him take off the cloak, he raised his hand slowly, during this period he did not look at anyone other than Leonard.

The black cloak was taken off, revealing the black brocade clothes inside, and the coat of arms made of gold thread, the pattern of long swords and thorns.It means that he is Leonard's retainer.

"You're back, Prime Minister." Leonard stood up with a smile, and took the initiative to greet him.

With Leonard in front, the other nobles hurriedly stood up to show their respect to Wei Zhongxian.

"Your Majesty, it's a good luck." Wei Zhongxian took off his moleskin gloves and handed them over to his entourage, and saluted again. His lowered head and lowered eyes showed his complete respect for Leonard, "East The snowfall was bigger than we thought, and there were some problems with the disaster relief, but it was finally resolved."

The other nobles suddenly realized that the former Prime Minister had gone to the east to provide disaster relief.

The term disaster relief is a bit unfamiliar to these nobles. Isn't it a matter of course that civilians would freeze to death or starve to death when there was a blizzard?Who told them to be so unlucky to encounter such a snowy day.Unexpectedly, the king actually wants to provide disaster relief.

Then Wei Zhongxian reported some specific details of the snow disaster to Leonard, some of which were tragic, which did not match the lively atmosphere of the New Year.Some people have already frowned, showing fear on their faces.

But Wei Zhongxian spoke carefully, and Leonard listened carefully.Others are not good at seizures.

During the period, Leonard personally picked some pieces of meat for Wei Zhongxian, and the two staged a good show of harmony between the monarch and his subjects in front of the nobles.

Fortunately, these nobles were not stupid to the end.

The onlookers thought to themselves, oh, it turns out that His Majesty the King likes such courtiers.They wanted to imitate it, and then they thought that Wei Zhongxian didn't need anyone to remind him just now, he just talked about the situation in the Eastern Kingdom, he could remember the names of so many towns, and he could remember which town the materials were allocated to. I can analyze so many things online... Forget it, I can't seem to imitate it.

Through this, these people finally understood why His Majesty didn't seem to like nobles very much anymore. They had the impression that no one in their own family could do this.Of course I can't do it myself.

The nobles who participated in the New Year's banquet were the highest-ranking nobles in the empire. These nobles didn't have much fear of Wei Zhongxian. Wei Zhongxian didn't attack them (because Leonard had already done so), they just heard that Wei Zhongxian's reputation Not good, killed a lot of nobles.

Looking at it now, this Wei Zhongxian is really quite powerful, no wonder His Majesty the King will reuse him and give him the position of former Prime Minister.

They took stock of their identities and finally made up their minds.

Since the king valued the common people, they should value the common people too.A truly wise nobleman knows how to follow in the king's footsteps.

As a result, the entire empire began a revolution in thinking.

After the New Year's banquet, Leonard convened a three-day meeting with his ministers and nobles to determine the tasks for the new year.

After Wei Zhongxian's disaster relief report, Leonard's lack of destiny points was only ten points, and after he read a few pretentious lines to the guards and officially got enough destiny points, he couldn't wait to notify others, and immediately Go into the bedroom and have a conversation with the system.

System system, revive Cai Lun!

[Confirmed spending 25600 Destiny Points to revive Cai Lun? 】

Leonard chose to resurrect Cai Lun without the slightest hesitation, and the resurrection location was in the king's bedroom.

Then Cai Lun suddenly appeared like this.

Cai Lun glanced at Leonard after his resurrection, and said, "Lord, do you have any paper and pen?"

"Oh, yes." Leonard said, opened the drawer and took out paper and pen for him.

Cai Lun immediately sat down at the desk and began to write something. Leonard looked at it and found that it was gunpowder data.

This is not the same as Leonard's imagination of the monarch and his ministers hugging and crying after the resurrection.

"That..." Leonard said.

Cai Lun said without raising his head, "My lord, I got precious information during my experiments, and I have to record them all now."

"Oh, okay." Leonard rubbed his head, feeling that no one had talked to him like this for a long time, but the experiment was important, so Leonard left the bedroom and told others not to disturb Cai Lun in the bedroom.

About an hour later, Cai Lun happily walked out of the bedroom, "My lord! I got the stable formula of gunpowder! There must be no problem with this formula!"

"That's really great." Leonard was also immediately attracted, "Let's go to the workshop and try it out."

Now Leonard has no destiny points at all. If he can get stable gunpowder, then he must be able to get some destiny points.

"Okay." Cai Lun nodded excitedly.

So the two of them drove to the workshop without caring about anything.

I didn't inform other people, and I didn't tell Cai Lun the cause and effect, so I just did whatever I wanted like a child.

After testing, Cai Lun's ratio was no problem, and Leonard got 500 destiny points as he wished.

Only then did Cai Lun react: "Ah, am I not dead? I thought I was killed by the bomb."

"You were indeed killed." Leonard wanted to cry when he mentioned this, "Do you know how many Life Points I saved up to revive you? Do you know how I've been living recently..."

Cai Lun burst into tears: "My lord, I really deserve to die. In order to save me, my lord must have cut down on food and clothing recently. I really shouldn't..."

Leonard's eyes flew wildly: "Actually, I didn't save money, I paid it back, and I became an emperor by the way."

Cai Lun: "..."

Cai Lun: "...what?"

"Cough." Leonard said to the guard next to him, "Inform the Prime Minister and the others that Bachelor Cai Lun is back."

Twenty minutes later, Wei Zhongxian began to tell Cai Lun what happened after Cai Lun's death.

Cai Lun broke down a bit: "...Did I miss so much!"

"Yeah, I missed a lot." Wei Zhongxian smiled, and he looked a little nasty at the moment, "And we usurped the throne with His Majesty, you missed it."

Cai Lun: "..."

He missed a lot!

After all, which traitor does not have a dream of usurping the throne...

Cai Lun sighed, somewhat dejected.

"But you should be grateful for this. You know, the Destiny Points used to revive you are enough to summon a newcomer, draw 510 second prize, but His Majesty still chooses to revive you, I hope you will not be ashamed of His Majesty's trust in you , don't be ashamed of the destiny points His Majesty spent for you." Wei Zhongxian said.

"I understand." Cai Lun took a deep breath, "I am His Majesty's subject, and I should give my all for His Majesty."

……

That night, Leonard and the summoned treacherous ministers gathered for a meal, and everyone talked about their future plans while eating.

Compared with the serious three-day meeting, everyone can speak freely at this time.

"Continue to build ships next year! Then go out and explore before winter." Zhang Hongfan said.

"How long will it take to organize the fleet?" Leonard asked.

Wei Zhongxian replied: "At least two years."

"That's it." Leonard nodded, and he was no longer in a hurry.

Now, every major event is done in years.

Cai Lun's current focus is still on steam trains and railways.

After gunpowder stabilized, Leonard became interested in building cannons.It's fine to make a gun, even if it's made, it's just as powerful, and it's too troublesome to improve it further.It would be better to directly build cannons and install them on their fleet, which will also add a layer of protection for future voyages.

The main course for dinner is kebab.

Turkish kebab comes from Turkish cuisine, which is one of the three major cuisines in the world along with Chinese food and French food.

Turkish kebab, also known as rotisserie, is a dish made by peeling off the meat on the rotisserie and adding ingredients.

When Leonard was in college, he often ate kebab bibimbap.

The chefs cut up the swirling beef, lamb and chicken with knives next to them, cooked them on the spot and served them directly to the table.

Leonard took a sip of the barbecue meat tightly wrapped in the sauce with his chopsticks. It was mellow and delicious. The roast meat was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the deliciousness rushed straight into his nostrils.

Mixing rice with rice has a special flavor. The meat and rice grains are put into the mouth together. The softness of the rice and the crispy surface of the meat are in sharp contrast, bringing an excellent taste enjoyment.Bite hard, and the beef gravy will overflow, blending with the aroma of rice, it is simply delicious.

A meal is enjoyable.Everyone talked about their imaginations, and everyone was very enthusiastic about the next sea trip.

"I want to go to sea." Wei Zhongxian said, "To deal with people from other continents, we should open up business routes, sell our special products, and ask them to pay us tribute..."

"You are the former Prime Minister, and you have to stay on the mainland to assist His Majesty in governing the country, so I should go to sea." Zhang Hongfan said.

"Let Zhizhai govern." Wei Zhongxian said, "Zhizhai was the minister of military affairs and the chief academician of the cabinet back then."

"I can't." He Shen said, "I'm good at business, so let me go to sea. How can I govern the country like Wanwu, who completely controlled the government for so many years."

"I really can't, I'm just a eunuch." Wei Zhongxian said, "If the sea is stormy, it's not a pity to die, so let me take the risk."

"Then I think I can also go to sea, who is not a eunuch?" Cai Lun said, "I will write a book as soon as possible before going to sea, and keep all the useful ones, and my apprentices are almost there."

"I think Your Majesty has to let me go to sea." Wang Jixian also joined in the fun: "Jing Zhong, you can't do it. Your research mind is the most useful thing. As a doctor, I can take good care of myself at sea, which means that I am the best person to go to sea. Good candidate."

"Hey." Lu Bu felt a little regretful, he couldn't leave Leonard, otherwise he really wanted to go to sea.

Zhang Hongfan was dumbfounded by this fight.

He is probably the least talkative of these treacherous officials.

"Obviously it's me..." Zhang Hongfan said helplessly.

Obviously he came first, obviously he has been building ships...

In the end, everyone laughed together, and Leonard laughed too.

Then everyone talked about some plans, whimsical ideas, and everything.

"It is necessary to build railways all over the continent, to distribute new agricultural tools to all farmers, to build steam trains and steamships..." Cai Lun said.

"It's not enough money." He Shen said: "It will cost a lot of money just to build the railway. It's not good for your Majesty to be with me. Well, it's not easy to make money, right? Many nobles are actually rich, but we also It’s inconvenient to take the money out of their homes directly.”

Wei Zhongxian said: "I heard that you were a big corrupt official in history."

He Shen: "How can the affairs of scholars be called greed!"

Wei Zhongxian: "Actually, if we become rich in destiny points in the future, we can let you collect a lot of money first, and after a while, let His Majesty kill you to appease the public anger, and then resurrect you later, and you will appear as another identity."

He Shen: "Pfft."

Leonard also died laughing, "It seems like a good idea."

Everyone fell into laughter again.

"Then, what is your plan, Your Majesty?" He Shen asked suddenly.

"My plan..." Leonard raised his head and looked at the bright starry sky outside. "First of all, let's set a small goal and explore the whole world."

It was a simple answer, but it made everyone's blood boil.

To get more destiny points, to see more scenery, to mine more resources, to taste more delicacies.

Well... There should be many other gourmet ingredients outside the mainland.

Leonard is looking forward to it.

……

After the snow began to melt, Leonard returned to Little Thorn Castle in a relatively low-key manner to deal with some matters.

There is a heater in the carriage, so it is warm, and there are many snacks on the cabinet. Leonard yawned comfortably in the carriage, stuffed two pieces of dried beef into his mouth, opened the window, and saw the Plain of fog.

The vast plain was filled with gray mist, and the trees beside it were eerie and rugged.

"I always feel that this scene seems familiar." Leonard said with a smile to the others in the carriage.

"Has Your Majesty remembered the past?" Cai Lun asked.

"Yes." Leonard nodded. "The first time I came to Little Thorn Castle, I passed through this plain of gray mist. At that time, I thought the scenery here was terrible, and I was full of fear of the unknown."

"What now?" He Shen asked.

"Now." Leonard smiled, "Of course I am full of expectations for the unknown."

"That's right." He Shen nodded.

Leonard said casually: "But it's a pity that there are no robbers. It's still very different from then."

There are hardly any bandits left in the empire now.

Lu Bu went out after thinking about it.

After a while, the convoy stopped.

"Why did it stop?" Leonard opened the curtain and asked, "Why, did you really meet a robber?"

The coachman said with a strange expression: "Well, General Lu is robbing."

"what?"

Leonard and the others got out of the car and saw that Lu Bu was covered with a black cloth, and said solemnly, "Robbery!"

Leonard couldn't laugh or cry.

This is Feng Xian, this move is too treacherous, why did he say something casually earlier, and then Feng Xian did it later.

...Wait, why does this sentence sound weird.

Wei Zhongxian said casually: "This good man, are you robbing money or robbing sex?"

Lu Bu hesitated for a moment.He hesitated for a moment.

Leonard sprayed: "You are hesitant!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Hahaha……"

The team suddenly fell into laughter.

The future is expected.
