Chapter 313: Razing and Razing
A month later, Shoujing City, the Southern Tang Imperial Palace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
His Majesty the Emperor on the dragon chair had a gloomy face, and the hundred officials lowered their heads and eyes, and they didn't dare to take a breath.
Earlier, because of the demons and chaos, the emperor was basically a puppet, and he didn't say much in the hall. But in the past two years, the power has been gathered, and the majesty of the emperor has gradually become prominent. And it may be that he was aggrieved before, and he once turned over and had a big temper. The subordinates were slightly disobedient, and said that they would cut off their heads, and there was no ambiguity at all.
"It's been a month, it's been a month!" the emperor said in a deep voice: "Didn't you talk a lot before? Why are you all dumb now? Didn't you say that there would be changes? Isn't there a sect to intervene? But what is the result? Who can tell me which of those things you said has come true?"
The heads of the officials were lowered.
A month ago, the demon king Yueshan walked into the palace and informed the officials and demons of the imperial court and the demons about the war in the southwest.
At that time, the emperor had a cerebral hemorrhage, and after Yueshan left, he summoned a group of cronies and subordinates into the palace overnight, but he did not discuss the reason. By the next morning, all the vassals would know. Everyone was gossiping, some were analyzing the situation, and some were making suggestions. It can be said that none of them really came up with any countermeasures. All people's opinions can be summed up in one word, etc.
The large-scale action of the demon not only had an impact on the Southern Tang Dynasty, but it was impossible for the many forces in the Northern Qingzhou to sit idly by. Chu Yunguo and Wei Wuguo, the two great powers, could not watch the demons grow big in the Southern Tang Dynasty. Even the big demons of the demon camp will not watch things deteriorate. So everyone thinks that someone will come out to reconcile.
The emperor was very unhappy with this conclusion, but he did not object to it.
Because it wasn't until it happened that His Majesty the ambitious Emperor found out that Nantang was really weak. Gained momentum for a while before, but it was only because of the concession of the demons. But once the demon stood in front of the stage again, the Southern Tang Dynasty court had no chance to resist at all.
However, seeing reality clearly does not mean that the mind is also clear. The emperor, like his ministers, still pinned his hopes on external forces to play a role. Whether it's the Sword Tower, or any other force, there is always someone who can solve the problem of demons. And the Southern Tang Dynasty court, "sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight".
On their own land, they let all forces fight and fight, and they think they have a plan. It seems foolish, but it is not without precedent.
In another time and space, a certain Lafayette of the last dynasty was famous all over the world for his trick of "razing and razing", allowing the great powers to fight and grab the land under their jurisdiction. Zhang Nan knew this, and saw that His Majesty the Emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty and that Lafayette had a heart-to-heart pity, so he made such a plan.
It's just that this Southern Tang emperor seems to be inferior to the Lafayette of the last dynasty, because although the "powers" of all parties have entered the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty, they all coexist peacefully with each other. On the contrary, it was the officials and soldiers of the court who tore apart fiercely with the demon side. His Majesty the Emperor was faintly aware that his inaction this month was a bad move. But he definitely couldn't admit it, so he vented his anger on his courtiers.
"Waste, a bunch of waste!" the emperor was furious: "I can't even come up with an idea, what's the use of raising you!!"
"Your Majesty. "At this time, the only one who dares to speak is Prime Minister Huang Dabao.
Huang Dabao has a stubborn temperament, only recognizes the law of the country and does not recognize human feelings, and the emperor does not like him very much. But the emperor needs someone to continue to keep in touch with the demons, and in case of a leak, he can push it out at any time. Therefore, after Yueshan returned to power, the emperor still kept Huang Dabao as the prime minister.
"Now is not the time for us to clash with demons, and the contradictions between the two sides must be resolved. Huang Dabao said: "The chaos in the southwest is caused by the training of demon soldiers by the king of Zhennan. The only thing that can be done now is to arrest him and disband the Five Beast Legion. At the same time, the law of the country is corrected, and the demons are calmed down. ”
Huang Dabao has always had a lot of opinions about the affairs of the Five Beast Legion, but he didn't know much about it before. Now that the matter is getting bigger, he knows more, and he has been arguing that this move will bring disaster to the country and the people. The emperor said that King Zhennan did it, and Huang Dabao stared at King Zhennan to bite.
When Huang Dabao did this before, the emperor blocked it with the argument that the old prince was dedicated to the public. However, in this situation, it seems that Huang Dabao's extreme opinion is really the only solution.
Rather than continue to drag on and make the situation worse, it is better to pull the king of Zhennan out of the top tank.
Of course, there are hidden dangers.
The king of Zhennan has been operating in the southwest for many years, and if he is held guilty, the southwest will be in chaos.
However, that chaos is only an internal affair of the Southern Tang Kingdom, and it is better than fighting life and death with demons. As for disbanding the Five Beast Legion, it can also be a show.
The emperor weighed the pros and cons, and finally made a decree appointing Huang Dabao as the minister of the Qin Mission, and went to the southwest.
The court finally made a move, and the demon king Yueshan was also a little breathless.
The Southern Tang Dynasty court did not have the ability to solve this matter, and the demon king Yueshan had that ability, but he didn't want to do it. In a sense, Yueshan's thinking is similar to that of His Majesty the Southern Tang Emperor, hoping that others will take action to solve this matter. It's just that compared to the Southern Tang Emperor, Yueshan's consideration is somewhat grounded.
Situ Xia Zhen and the others showed a forbidden martial duel, which undoubtedly touched the nerves of the demon clan. Whether it is Yin Qiu or Jing Wuyin, they are all pure demons, not half-demons like Yueshan, and they definitely can't tolerate a potential martial artist like Situ Xia Zhen growing up. Therefore, Yueshan judged that Yin Qiu or Jing Wuyin would definitely deal with those women before him.
At that time, whether it succeeds or not, both sides will inevitably lose. If Situ Xia really died, he would save Yueshan trouble. If Jing Wuyin or Yin Qiu and his subordinate demons die, Yueshan can consolidate his position among the demons of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and he will be a winner no matter what.
In addition, there is Situ Kuohai, as the soul of Yueshan, the two have been taking care of each other for many years, and they have a tacit understanding. For some reasons, Yueshan has not had any direct contact with Situ Kuohai over the years, and this time it is rare to take the initiative to send someone over, and Situ Kuohai will definitely have to help with this. Moreover, the hidden dangers brought by Situ Xia Zhen are not only aimed at Yueshan, but Situ Kuohai will also be implicated by it.
As for the sword tower, this point of Yueshan is different from the Southern Tang Emperor, and he didn't report any hope at all. Not to mention that Indifferent Xue is by Situ Xiazhen's side, with the consistent style of Jianlou, this kind of thing that has a secular dynasty mixed in, they will never intervene. Unless the demons really set off a war to destroy the country, don't expect the uncles of the Sword Tower to come out and reconcile anything.
And there is silence and Situ Kuohai, which is equivalent to double insurance, and there is no need to do anything to the sword tower.
But what surprised Yueshan was that he felt that neither of the two ideas of double insurance had been realized.
Jing Wuyin seemed to be in a hurry and ran to the southwest, but he didn't do anything, and he disappeared in an instant, and he couldn't even find a shadow. Yin Qiu also didn't move, except for the demons under his command who provoked the Southern Tang Dynasty officials and soldiers from time to time, as if he had forgotten those girls who had mastered the forbidden martial arts.
Yueshan vaguely felt that Jing Wuyin had found Yin Qiu and said something, but he couldn't figure out the reason why Jing Wuyin stopped him. And with Yin Qiu's temper, he shouldn't be able to listen to silent words.
In addition to the problems of Jing Wuyin and Yin Qiu, Situ Kuohai was also a little weird.
The gray harrier had already delivered the letter and returned, and Situ Kuohai had indeed photographed people, and a group of people from the Zhenbei Army had secretly driven into the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Thanks to the Southern Tang Emperor's "razing and razing", that group did not encounter any problems in the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty. But until now, that army has done nothing.
Originally, he didn't want to mix with the troubled waters of the southwest, but now that he thought about it, Tsukiyama felt that things were getting more and more out of his control. Whether it's the human race or the demons, it's going in a very bad direction.
"Yan Hong, Gray Harrier!" Yueshan beckoned to the two cronies. "Southwest with me. ”
