"No problem at all, we're taking a secret, deserted passage."

"Very well, I will not mistreat your Li family."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Compared to such cannons, the catapults that Yelü Dashi currently possesses are practically children's toys.

"Your Majesty, I have some concerns, but I'm not sure if I should say them."

"Please speak freely."

"The dog emperor might soon lead his army westward."

Yelü Dashi pursed his lips and said, "I know what I'm doing in this matter."

"Xiao Hanli stabbed."

"Your subject is present."

“Build a city and settle those craftsmen there to forge these firearms for my Great Liao.”

"yes!"

Li Jisui asked, "This humble subject dares to ask Your Majesty what methods you have to deal with that dog emperor Zhao Huan?"

Yelü Dashi said calmly, "It will naturally disintegrate from within."

"Internal disintegration?" Li Jisui was puzzled. In his view, Zhao Huan's prestige in the Song Dynasty now surpassed that of all previous emperors. No one in the court dared to object to the emperor's new policies, and the people supported the emperor to the extreme.

Not only was he admired by scholars for his civil administration, but he was also revered by officials for his governance principles. In the army, he was the spiritual pillar of all Song soldiers.

In Chinese history, only Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han, and Emperor Taizong of Tang (Li Shimin) can compare to such emperors.

Internal collapse? That's difficult!

Yelü Dashi laughed and said, "Do you know about the political discussions of the thirteenth year of the Jingkang era?"

"Well, I've heard a thing or two about it."

"Zhao Huan wants to allow more commerce to be returned to the people, and the commerce of the Song Dynasty will usher in an unprecedented period of development."

"This is not a good thing for us."

"Everything has two sides. Since ancient times, merchants have been dishonest and profit-driven. Money and power are hard to separate. Once the power of merchants has developed to a certain extent, they will inevitably try to infiltrate the government."

Looking at the eastern sky, Yelü Dashi murmured, "Zhao Huan, you made a mistake with this step."
