The demon world I designed

After the court meeting began, Yang Shilang indeed brought up the issue of Jiangnan's funding of northern grain and grass, which caused an uproar for a while.

But now there is a strange scene on the dragon throne in the court meeting.

Sitting on it was a prince who was only one year old, and behind the prince, under the curtain, was a graceful figure!

Listening to politics behind the curtain has always been a sign of chaos in history, but now there is no way

The emperor is seriously ill, and the life or death of the prince in the hands of the eldest princess is unknown. The court naturally needs a symbol to supervise the country, and most of His Majesty's adult children are disabled. If they supervise the country, it will be humiliating to the country. In the end, the young and newborn prince can only take the seat. .

But children are ignorant and can only be the supervisor of the harem.

But the strange thing is that the person overseeing the country is not the prince's biological mother, but the queen of the dynasty!

This is very interesting. Everyone knows that the Queen has died a long time ago and her body has been buried in the imperial mausoleum.

But now, no one in the entire court thinks there is a problem with the queen in that position.

"Is this news reliable, Sir?" The questioner was a general wearing a third-grade military uniform. He was the legitimate son of Duke Zhou. After Duke Zhou led his army in the Northern Expedition, the young disciples had to come to court on their father's behalf.

"This disaster in the south of the Yangtze River must have delayed the spring plowing. Now that Chen Qing's side can supply food to feed the people of the south of the Yangtze River, it is already a good idea. How can he still have the food resources to attack the north?" The young general looked funny. Addressing Yang Shilang: "Master Shilang, don't talk nonsense if you don't know the military. The land in the north is barren. Years ago, the court contacted the allies to conquer. The rebel army in the north was attacked on both sides and was deprived of the largest grain city. The current level of food shortage is definitely not what Jiangnan can provide." Come on!"

"That's right!" Another general next to him also said in a low voice: "If you have time to frame Jiangnan, why not spend more time to investigate and find out who is supplying food to the north!"

The other generals nodded when they heard this, obviously agreeing with the words of the young general who just spoke.

After the rebellion in the north, which was originally huge and lacked troops in the court, the entire northern territory was lost almost instantly. It was also more than half a year ago that His Majesty decreed that the Queen came forward and sent special envoys to visit the four ancient countries to request them Help encircle and suppress the rebels.

This strategy of luring tigers and driving away wolves was originally highly opposed, but unexpectedly it had very good results.

The Kingdom of Ancient Panic united and failed to defeat the northern border, but due to a sudden sneak attack, Duke Wei's arrangement was disrupted, and the largest grain-harbouring city was attacked. A large number of spring plowing fields in the rear were harvested and trampled in advance by the Kingdom of Ancient Panic. , resulting in the current extreme shortage of food in the northern border, and a wave of counterattacks almost pushed them to desperation.

But just six months ago, the situation began to change again.

I don't know since when, there was a food road in the north, which not only greatly alleviated the army's food shortage, but also alleviated the famine of the people, stabilizing the originally turbulent Ten Cities of Youyun, and the battlefield between the two sides once again reached a stalemate.

"I'm more suspicious that it was the food given by the Kingdom of Ancient Panic." One of the generals said: "The Duke of Wei must have promised more things to the Kingdom of Ancient Panic, which caused the other country to be willing to provide food relief. Only in this way can it be explained!"

Yang Shilang frowned when he heard this: "I know that all businesses are now closely tied to Jiangnan, but if you continue to hold on to small profits like this and strengthen Jiangnan, the disaster will be endless!"

A group of generals looked at the ceiling of the hall and pretended not to hear.

Indeed, as Yang Shilang said, all the major aristocratic families are now tied to Jiangnan's business, but it is not a small profit!

Nowadays, tea, wine, and silk in Jiangnan are all at sky-high prices!

Countless rich people are willing to pursue them, including the children of their aristocratic families who are also obsessed with those things. Those merchants in Jiangnan are very knowledgeable and gave all the management rights to them as soon as they came here, with profit sharing up to 70%!

Who would not protect such a generous partner?

Moreover, in the eyes of everyone, Chen Qing has no foundation, no power, and no support from a family of military commanders. Now he is just relying on the chaotic situation in Jiangnan, and he is not a danger at all.

These scholarly people are just making a fuss out of a molehill. They obviously can't get their hands on those good businesses, but they talk in high-sounding terms!

Seeing that many generals were silent, Yang Shilang finally had to look at Jiu Qing.

The Minister of Rites and others looked at each other. Their family of warlocks also handled a lot of business in Jiangnan, but they could not care less about the Shilin group than the family of military generals. After all, they alone could not be powerful in the court. The bloodline family can compete with it.

"The Empress." The Minister of Rites stepped forward and saluted: "Chen Qing from Jiangnan did do many things that were not in line with the rules of the court. Recruiting soldiers without authorization can be said to be urgent and obey the authority. But now, he supports a lot of engineering studies and forces people to believe in religion. It is indeed very problematic and the court should be held accountable."

That's it?

Yang Shilang was not satisfied with this result, so he quickly stepped forward and said, "My Lady, Chen Qing's harm does not end there!"

"Really?" The queen's cold voice came from behind the curtain: "Yang Aiqing is not in a hurry, but please take your time."

"Yes, your Majesty." Yang Shilang's heart was lifted, and he said quickly: "Chen Qing was apostate and apostate. Not only did he monopolize power in the south of the Yangtze River, but he also seized the official seals of many county magistrates and state capitals without the consent of the court. He also wantonly belittled Confucianism and excluded scholars. Take advantage of the chaos in Jiangnan to deceive people!"

"The people are ignorant and don't know the importance of it. They support it very much. Today, Jiangnan has been built by Chen Qing into his own earth kingdom. Why is he so eager to follow the power? He just wants to seize the opportunity to seize Jiangnan!"

"This can be seen from the Yinmu that he purchased a large number of horses and built ships. According to Wei Chen's intelligence, this Chen Qing used extraordinary skills to make something called an artillery piece, which can injure people from thousands of meters away. People, and the heavy engineering school has squeezed out Confucianism and created a large number of these things that are causing harm to the people, and their intentions are to be punished! "

"From now on, if craftsmen are proud of making such chaotic objects, what kind of chaos will the world be like if the world is full of utensils that can hurt people?"

"Isn't this Mr. Minister's words biased?" One of the generals frowned: "Such a sharp weapon, used in military affairs, has the effect of turning things around. How can it be overshadowed by a miraculous skill? Chen Qing has to face demons in Jiangnan. , and there is no help from the bloodline family, so if you want to survive, you can't rely on any means, so why do you think that you are going to bring trouble to the people?"

"Hmph!" Yang Shilang snorted coldly: "The general also knows that Chen Qing does not have the support of aristocratic family? Then based on your military knowledge, general, Chen Qing can stop what you say without the assistance of the descendants of the aristocratic family and only relying on some militiamen. Can the demons stop Her Royal Highness?"

"Uh" these words made a group of generals choke!

This makes them somewhat unable to refute, because if they say it is ok, they are losing their prestige.

It is simply ridiculous that a civilian official, relying on a group of civilians and craftsmen, can stop Her Royal Highness the Princess and the group of terrifying demons under her.

Seeing that all the generals had nothing to say, Yang Shilang smiled coldly: "Wei Chen thinks that it is a joke that Chen Qing can deal with Xiao Mingxue. He is basically working with the eldest princess. He uses money to lower our vigilance and adds a lot of money." To purchase arms for the eldest princess, how can ordinary people drive things like dragons and horses? I see, he is probably working for the eldest princess!"

"This" all the generals were stunned. Don't tell me, this is really possible.

Jiu Qing also frowned when he heard this. With Chen Qing's conditions, it is indeed a bit of a fantasy to defend the south of the Yangtze River under the attack of the eldest princess and the monster from the West Sea. But if it is as Yang Shilang said, the other party is the eldest princess from the beginning. For people, that makes sense.

Thinking about it this way, Jiangnan relied on those things to make a lot of money and purchased military supplies from the north. It was indeed a great threat!

"Do you have any evidence, Sir?" The queen said lazily, "After all, according to Wang Shaoqing's information, Chen Qing has always been interested in the court."

"Whether Wang Shaoqing's words are credible now remains to be investigated!" Yang Shilang said loudly: "Weichen happens to have some informants in Jiangnan. They are currently collecting evidence of Chen Qing's crimes, especially information about firearms. I believe it is impossible. It will be delivered to the capital in a few days. When the evidence is conclusive, I hope you will not tolerate this thief. Not only is this thief willing to be the eldest princess's lackey, but he is still confusing right and wrong in a place like Jiangnan where the literary style is very important. If we want to squeeze out Confucianism and let it stay there for a long time, I am afraid that even if Jiangnan is regained in the future, the century-old literary style of Jiangnan will not be there anymore!”

All the civil servants nodded one after another, and several other ministers also stepped forward and said: "In the imperial examination, Jiangnan talents often account for more than half. It is the most important cultural and educational place in our dynasty. Chen Qing persecuted the scholars wantonly for some benefits. This move will cause endless harm and must be stopped as soon as possible!”

"Is there such a big harm?" the queen murmured in a low voice.

The other generals secretly curled their lips when they heard this. What these scholars relied on most was the Jin Dynasty's tax-free policy for meritorious service. Relying on this annexation of land, they became slaves one by one. Chen Qing squeezed out the scholars, which proved the power of engineering. Digging their roots, of course they are anxious.

But now it sounds like there is indeed some trouble, because the demons under Her Royal Highness the Princess are already troublesome, and if coupled with the sharp weapons made by Chen Qing, they are indeed a bit of a threat.

It’s not that they insist on protecting Chen Qing, it’s just that they don’t have enough troops now. If they can, they naturally want to send troops to Jiangnan and take everything in Jiangnan now!

"But there is a shortage of soldiers in the court now." The general just frowned and said: "Even if, as you said, Chen Qing is really Xiao Mingxue's lackey, but now there is a shortage of soldiers, and it is too late for Gu Beifang to conquer the south of the Yangtze River."

"That's wrong!" Yang Shilang perked up and finally moved his muscles.

"According to the information gathered by the official, this is the best time for the court to regain Jiangnan!"

Two more chapters are released in succession, and there are still two chapters, but they will be posted later, probably around 12 o'clock or even longer. Those who can't wait can wait until tomorrow to read tomorrow's chapters together.
