I'm Going Crazy Because I Can't Contract With The Heroic Spirit.

Extraordinary times, extraordinary measures.

If it were normal and someone opposed him, he would definitely not do this.

But now, what this old minister said represents what most of the ministers are thinking at this time, so he has hit the muzzle of the gun.

Chen Ming was about to pick flesh from the bodies of major aristocratic families, but he was inevitably met with opposition.

It's better to use him directly to establish his authority at this time.

Sure enough, with this old minister "precious and jade in front", when he heard that all the ministers and major families had to pay tribute in large amounts, or contribute money or efforts.

The whole court was filled with "Your Majesty is wise" and there was no objection.

Seeing this, Chen Ming exhaled.

This move is too drastic and may be beneficial in the short term, but in the long run it will make the people below them rebellious.

as expected.

[You further mobilized major aristocratic families, and finally fought a bloody battle and defended to the death, making it difficult for the attacking Northern Demon to advance. 】

[However, all the major aristocratic families are also scolding you behind your back, and there is nothing you can do about it. 】

【House seemingly endless rain. 】

[This year, a sudden drought caused harvest failure in several major states, and the same was true for Fengzhou, the dynasty's granary, which was known as "when Fengzhou is ripe, the world is sufficient". 】

[Disasters are severe in various places and relief is urgently needed. 】

[However, after years of war, the dynasty's treasury was gradually stretched thin and unsustainable. 】

[The uprising is already foreseeable. 】

[The Northern Demon received the news and stepped up its attack significantly. 】

【your choice....】

[A. Recall the army B. Prevent uprising C. Maintain the status quo D. Intervene personally]

Nowadays, due to years of oppression, the major aristocratic families have gradually become empty, and they have been secretly grudges for a long time.

The defensive pressure of Zhenyao Pass is extremely high.

Recalling the army can defend the Northern Demon, but internal chaos will arise. Can consider it.

The option of guarding against uprising was directly passed by Chen Ming.

Uprisings cannot be prevented or suppressed.

When others can't survive, what else can he do?

Strictly guarding against uprisings is equivalent to treating one's own people as enemies to suppress them and waste them in vain.

It’s just that it won’t work if you don’t take precautions...

Maintaining the status quo means that the civil strife can be relatively stable, but there is a risk that the Demon Suppression Pass will be breached.

How to choose?

Chen Ming frowned and paced for a long time in thought.

He wanted to do some research online, but the current world was completely out of touch with historical trends, and there was no information for him to refer to.

After pondering for a long time, he chose to recall the army.

No matter what happens in the uprising, there is still a gradual process.

But if the Demon Suppression Pass is broken, the people will lose all their support, which means the whole game will be over.

Even though he tried his best, he still fell into the embarrassing situation of demolishing the east wall to repair the west wall.

[You choose to recall the army. 】

[The Demon Suppression Pass was tightly guarded, and the demons abandoned tens of thousands of corpses and gradually retreated. 】

[However, internal uprisings gradually broke out, and the states became anxious. 】

【your choice....】

[A. Suppress the uprising B. Maintain the status quo C. Take the initiative D. Intervene personally]

Now, Chen Ming is equivalent to having three enemies.

The biggest enemy is still the Northern Demon, who is determined to go south and devour the world.

Followed by many rebel princes and warlords, seeing that Chen Ming was stretched thin, they were the happiest.

This is a group of moths who only see short-term interests and don't understand what they are doing.

And due to various reasons, Chen Ming was completely unable to guide the Northern Demon to the location of the rebels and let them fight against each other.

Finally, there is the rebel army, which was transformed from the people of the dynasty, and has a tendency to become more and more violent.

Maybe many of them will be absorbed into the princely army and turn into rebels.

If there was no civil unrest, these victims could have been completely settled by relying on disaster relief, and the chaos would end by tomorrow autumn.

But now, time waits for no one.

Chen Ming realized that he was now completely trapped in the rhythm of forced decline.

If we continue at this pace, the dynasty will soon be swept away by the torrent from all sides.

Chen Ming's eyes gradually turned cold: "You want chaos, right? Then let's have chaos together!"

[You choose to take the initiative! 】

[You dispatch many elite teams and order them to search for traces of the Demon King, making sure to find the Demon King who is alone. 】

[At the same time, you order Ning Jing and others to temporarily put aside the suppression of the princes' rebels and suppress the rebels as soon as possible to shock the world. They must not be allowed to develop. 】

[All the troops continue to guard the border and defend the Northern Demon. 】

It is a pity that in order to consolidate the imperial power and prestige, he called himself the Demon-Suppressing Emperor and moved the capital to Beixu.

Otherwise, you can completely rely on the classic "space for time" tactic to delay for a year and wait for a good year.

Now, he could only pray that the elite troops he sent out could find traces of the Demon King.

That's right, he took the initiative to attack on his own!

He didn't believe that the seven demon kings were really so united.

He wants to kill or at least severely injure one or more demon kings and let them fight with each other.

Chen Ming was even thinking that maybe he could only severely injure him without killing him.

In this case, not only would it be easy, but the seriously injured demon king would inevitably withdraw with his own forces in order to prevent himself from being killed and devoured by other demon kings.

If this could be done, it would be equivalent to reducing the pressure on the Northern Demon.

If there is no trace of the demon king, or the demon kings are very close to each other.

Then Chen Ming really can only sit back and wait for death.

Fortunately, God seemed to be on his side once again.

【3386 years in the Qian calendar, the ninth day of the lunar month. 】

[A personal guard reported that he finally found traces of a demon king. It was a fox demon. The surrounding defenses were weak and there were no other demon kings. 】

[You are overjoyed and immediately lead a hundred elite guards to travel lightly, trying not to be discovered and not to miss the chance to make a comeback. 】

[Because a large number of demons are piled up on the front line, the rear is empty. 】

[And this demon king is in a more remote location, with fewer demons around, so you have not been discovered. 】

[Some doubts suddenly arise in your mind, but since this is already a hard-won fighter opportunity, you suppress your doubts and continue marching. 】

[Two days later, you will sneak to a wide and deep cave. The entrance of the cave must be guarded by a high-level demon general. 】

【your choice....】

[A. Hidden observation B. Leading the charge C. Returning the same way D. Personal intervention]

Now that he is in a dangerous area and is in danger of being discovered every moment, Chen Ming must make a quick decision.

As for personal intervention, he was prepared to leave it to a more dangerous time.

[You choose to lead the charge. 】

[You ignore the demon general’s demonstration, quickly kill him, and then lead your team into the deep cave. 】

[The cave is wide and straight. There are fluorescent substances on the stone walls, and it is not too dark. 】

【You saw the "Demon King". 】

[This is a snow-white fox with no stray hairs. It is only slightly larger than an ordinary fox. 】

[It faces the Baiqi led by you, its sky-blue eyes are very calm. 】

[This fox lies on a smooth stone, giving you a sense of elegance and danger. 】

[You even feel that it seems to be very humane and makes a mocking expression. 】

【your choice....】

[A. Try to kill B. Retreat immediately C. Try to talk D. Intervene personally]
