Chapter 210: Chen Qing's Harm (II)
After the court meeting began, Yang Shilang really took out the matter of Jiangnan subsidizing the grain and grass in the north, and there was a lot of noise for a while.
But now on the dragon chair of the court meeting, it is a strange scene.
Sitting above was a one-year-old prince, and behind the prince was a slender figure under the curtain!
Hanging the curtain and listening to the government, this is the appearance of a chaotic country in history, but now there is no way
The emperor is seriously ill, the life and death of the crown prince in the hands of the eldest princess is unknown, and the imperial court naturally needs a symbol to supervise the country, and most of His Majesty's adult children are crippled.
And the child is not sensible, he can only be the prison in the harem.
But the strange thing is that it is not the prince's biological mother who is in charge of the country, but the queen of the dynasty!
This is very interesting, everyone knows that the queen of the country has long been dead, and the body has been buried in the imperial mausoleum.
But nowadays. For the queen of the country in that position, no one in the entire court felt that there was a problem
"Is this news reliable?" The questioner was a general dressed in a three-rank military uniform, the son-in-law of Zhou Guogong, after Zhou Guogong led the army to the Northern Expedition, the young children had to come to the court on behalf of their father.
"Jiangnan suffered this catastrophe, it must have delayed spring ploughing, and now Chen Qing's grain supply can feed the people of Jiangnan is already a good means, can he still have food resources to rival the north?" The young general looked at Yang Shilang with a smile: "Lord Shilang doesn't know the military, don't talk nonsense, the land in the north is barren, the court contacted the allies to discuss it a few years ago, and the northern rebel army was attacked on both sides and was seized of the largest grain city, and now the food shortage is definitely not something that Jiangnan can give!" ”
"That's it!" Another general next to him also said angrily: "If you have time to plant Jiangnan, it is better to spend more time to check out who is supplying grain to the north!" ”
The other generals nodded their heads when they heard this, obviously agreeing with the words of the young general who had just spoken.
After the rebellion in the north, the original momentum was huge, the court lacked troops, and the entire northern territory was lost almost instantly, and it was also more than half a year ago, His Majesty decreed, and the queen of the country came forward and sent a special envoy to visit the four ancient panic countries, asking them to help encircle and suppress the rebels.
This kind of strategy to lure the tiger and drive away the wolf was originally extremely opposed, but I did not expect it to have a good effect.
The country of ancient panic united and failed to defeat the north, but because of the sudden sneak attack, the arrangement of the Duke of Wei was disrupted, so that the largest grain city was attacked, and a large number of spring ploughing fields in the rear were harvested and trampled by the country of ancient panic in advance, resulting in an extreme shortage of food in the north now, and it was almost attacked to a desperate situation by a wave of counterattack.
But just half a year ago, the situation began to look different again.
I don't know when it began, there was a grain route in the north, which not only greatly alleviated the shortage of food for the army, but also alleviated the famine of the people, stabilized the originally turbulent Ten Cities of Youyun, and the battlefields of the two sides fell into a stalemate again.
"I'm more suspicious that it's the food given by the country of ancient panic." One of the generals spoke: "It must be that the Duke of Wei promised more things to the country of ancient panic, causing the other party to be willing to give relief food, only then can it be explained!" ”
Yang Shilang frowned when he heard this: "I know that now all businesses are deeply bound to Jiangnan, but if you continue to grasp the small profits like this and strengthen Jiangnan, the disaster will be endless!" ”
A group of generals looked at the ceiling in the main hall and pretended not to hear.
Indeed, as Yang Shilang said, all major families are now bound to the business in Jiangnan, but it is not a small profit!
Nowadays, the tea, wine, and silk in Jiangnan are all sky-high!
Countless rich people are willing to pursue them, including the children of their own families are also obsessed with those things, and those merchants in Jiangnan know how to be people very well, and they will give them all the management rights as soon as they come, and the profit will be as high as seventy percent!
With such a generous partner, what one would not shelter?
And in the eyes of everyone, Chen Qing, who has no foundation and no power, and does not have the support of any military generals, is now just jumping left and right by relying on the chaotic situation in Jiangnan, which is not harmful at all.
These Shilin people are making a big fuss, obviously they can't get their hands on those good businesses, but their mouths are high-sounding!
Yang Shilang saw that many generals were silent, and finally had to look at Jiuqing.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu and the others glanced at each other, their warlock family also handled a lot of Jiangnan business, but they couldn't care about the Shilin group like the martial arts family, after all, they couldn't compete with the powerful bloodline family in the court on their own.
"The Queen." Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites stepped forward and saluted: "Chen Qing in Jiangnan does have many things that do not conform to the rules of the court, and it can be said that he is in a hurry to recruit soldiers, but now a large number of people are supported by engineering and learning, and they force their people to believe in religion, which is indeed very problematic, and the court should be held accountable."
That's it?
Yang Shilang was not satisfied with this result, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Niangniang, Chen Qing's harm is more than that!" ”
"Really?" Behind the curtain, the queen's cold voice came: "Yang Aiqing is not in a hurry, but you can speak slowly." ”
"Yes, sis." Yang Shilang's heart perked, and he hurriedly said: "Chen Qing deviated from the scriptures, not only abused power in Jiangnan, but also seized many county decrees, including the official seal of the state capital, without the consent of the court, but also wantonly belittled Confucianism, squeezed out Shilin, and took advantage of the chaos in Jiangnan to deceive people's hearts!" ”
"The people are ignorant, they don't know the severity, they are extremely supportive, and now Jiangnan has been built into Chen Qing's own soil kingdom, where is he in a hurry to obey the power? I just want to take the opportunity to cut off Jiangnan! ”
"This can be seen from his large purchase of horses and shipbuilding Yin wood, according to Weichen's intelligence, this Chen Qing supported strange skills and made a kind of thing called artillery, which can hurt people from a distance of thousands of meters, and heavy engineering squeezes out Confucianism, creating a large number of such troubled things, his heart can be punished!"
"In the future, if craftsmen are proud to make such troubled things, and the world is full of the kind of utensils that can hurt people, what will the world be like in chaos?"
"This squire-squire, isn't that biased?" One of the generals frowned: "Such a sharp weapon, used in the military, has the effect of turning things around, how can it be overshadowed by a strange skill?" Chen Qing has to face demons in Jiangnan, and he has no bloodline to help, if he wants to hold on, he can't rely on some means? How did it get to the mouth of the squire, that is, it was to be born for the common people? ”
"Humph!" Yang Shilang snorted coldly: "The general also knows that Chen Qing does not have the support of the family? With your military knowledge, General, Chen Qing can stop the demons in your mouth and Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess without the assistance of the children of the family, with just some militia? ”
"Eh" said this to a group of generals!
This makes them a little unable to refute, because to refute it is okay is to fall into their own prestige.
A civilian official, relying on a group of civilians and craftsmen, can stop Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and the terrible demons under her hands, which is simply funny.
Seeing that the generals had nothing to say, Yang Shilang smiled coldly: "Wei Chen thinks that what Chen Qing can do with Xiao Mingxue is simply a joke, he is simply in league with the eldest princess, using money to lower our vigilance, and buying a large number of arms for the eldest princess, where can ordinary civilians afford things like dragon horses and horses?" I see, he's probably working for the eldest princess! ”
"This" All the generals were stunned, don't say it, there is really such a possibility.
Jiuqing also frowned when he heard this, with Chen Qing's conditions, it is indeed a bit fantastical to defend Jiangnan under the attack of the eldest princess and the monster in the West Sea, but if as Yang Shilang said, the other party is the person of the eldest princess from the beginning, it is reasonable.
Thinking about it this way, Jiangnan relied on those things to make a lot of money, and purchased military funds from the north, which is indeed a great threat!
"Squire-sama has any proof?" The queen's voice said lazily: "After all, according to Wang Shaoqing's information, Chen Qing has always been interested in the court. ”
"Wang Shaoqing's words now are not credible, they still need to be investigated!" Yang Shilang said loudly: "Weichen happens to have some informants in Jiangnan, they are recently collecting evidence of Chen Qing's crimes, especially about firearms, I believe it will be sent to the capital in a few days, when the evidence is conclusive, Xia Guan hopes that you must not tolerate this thief, this thief is willing to be the lackey of the eldest princess, not to mention, but also in the Jiangnan kind of literary style is extremely heavy in the reversal of black and white, wantonly crowding out Confucianism, once let him stay there for a long time, I am afraid that even if Jiangnan is recovered in the future, I am afraid that Jiangnan's century-old literary style is not there!" ”
All the civil officials nodded one after another, and several other squires also stepped forward and said: "The imperial examination of the court, Jiangnan talents often account for more than half, it is the most important cultural and educational place in our dynasty, Chen Qing for some interests, wantonly persecuted Shilin, this move is harmful, it can be described as an endless disaster, and it must be stopped as soon as possible!" ”
"Is it so harmful?" The queen muttered under her breath.
The other generals pouted secretly when they heard this, these Shilin, what they relied on the most was the policy of tax exemption for the fame of the Great Jin Dynasty, relying on this annexed land, one by one the old land slaves, Chen Qing squeezed out Shilin, proving the strength of engineering, that is, digging their roots, of course they were in a hurry.
But now it sounds like it's a bit troublesome, because the demons under Her Royal Highness the eldest princess are already tricky, and if you add the sharp weapons made by Chen Qing, there is indeed some threat.
It's not that they insist on protecting Chen Qing, it's just that the troops are insufficient now, if they can, they naturally want to raise troops to go down to Jiangnan and pocket everything in Jiangnan now!
"But now the court is short of soldiers." The military general frowned just now and said: "Even if as you said, Chen Qing is really Xiao Mingxue's lackey, but now that there is a shortage of troops, it is too late to take care of the north, where is there still the strength to conquer Jiangnan?" ”
"That's a mistake!" Yang Shilang was in high spirits, and finally said that he was moving a group of muscle sticks.
"According to the intelligence of the lower officials, this is the best time for the court to recover Jiangnan!"
The two are more continuous, and there are two more chapters, but they will be sent later, and it is estimated that it may be around twelve o'clock or even longer, and the audience who can't wait can wait for tomorrow to read tomorrow's chapter together
