Chapter 138: Dealing with the Demons

Jun looked at the ministers who were discussing a lot, and asked Qing again, "Prince, you, the current situation of the demon clan."

Qing, who was pondering the meaning of his father's words just now, was suddenly named again, and after being stunned for a moment, he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Yes! Father, at present, the son has received definite news that the demon clan has a million demon army in the military camps of the southeast, northwest and northwest, of which the northern military camp is 400,000, and the other three parties are 200,000, and they practice every day."

As soon as Qing's words fell, all the ministers had worries on their faces, and they began to talk about each other.

"Ah?!What about the demons...... Suddenly, there was ...... Such a large number of soldiers?"

"Ah, it's not much different from my soldiers."

“......”

Jun coldly glanced at the ministers of His Royal Highness, and said majestically: "Prince, continue."

"Yes! Father, half a year ago, after the demon clan sent out a message to recruit talents in the four seas and eight wildernesses, they built a competition platform in the military camp of the four directions, and the civil officials also set up four selection points, and the response to the recruitment was enthusiastic, and there was an endless stream, there were as many as twenty or thirty thousand, and there were many people who went to apply, and there were still four months before the deadline, and many characters had been collected. This time, regardless of the race, regardless of the background, the demon clan does not chase the past, Xu is in a high position, and the practice of recognizing people and talents is only able to attract a lot of civil and military talents, especially those who have no background, or have old cases and other people who have no way to rise, so powerful, the ambition of the demon race...... It's been revealed."

Having just won the leading power of the affairs of the two courts from Qing, Chang Yu was complacent for a while. He knew in his heart that several tricks had fueled the fire, so that his father would have no idea whether Qing was colluding with Beiting...... I was suspicious, and I had a lot of worries, and I had lost trust in him, and being able to let myself take over the affairs between the two courts was the best proof.

The favor of the Huxu clan, and the father left it to himself to sell, which is more clear, that is, the father wants him to make a move, suppress the power behind the weakened and weakened Heqing, and break their unbreakable relationship. Chang Yu could see the scene of overthrowing Qing and staying in the palace by himself.

It's not enough to do this, but also to take more power in Qing's hands, beat the water dogs, and make my father disappointed in Qing's demon affairs.

Chang Yu suppressed the joy in his heart, came out of the ranks, and after saluting Jun, he turned to Qing: "Brother Prince, it's too overestimated...... In addition, the so-called recruitment of talents, that is, the recruitment of a gang of rogues, is to be used, in my opinion, and it is good to use it without need...... It must be a mess, and the internal struggle of the Light Demon Clan will be inextricably beaten, Brother Prince, don't be a soldier. Father, if you are really worried, your son is willing to ask for an army to go out and exterminate them before they become successful."

After hearing this, all the ministers looked at each other, knowing that Chang Yu's big words were too much.

The ministers also know that Changyu is the son of the king's favorite concubine Xiangfei, and he has been with Jun since then, and Jun's counseling and love for him is more than that of other children, and his mother and concubine are scheming, and have always wanted to push their son to the throne, Jun knows it, but his attitude has been ambiguous, maintaining two of the best sons, and the two sides check and balance each other, so the court has formed two forces, and behind each force there are ministers and the support of various ethnic groups.

There are also many ministers who remain neutral, who are well aware of the situation of the DPRK and watch the mysteries from the sidelines. Today's Jun's attitude is even clearer, Jun let the Third Highness Changyu to control, the biggest force behind the crown prince --- Huxu clan, Changyu's importance and strength, has been able to compete with the prince, although the ministers have doubts in their hearts, but they all chose to protect themselves and bow their heads silently.

Qing frowned, and looked coldly at Chang Yu, who didn't know the thickness of the high ground, and felt that he simply didn't know the thickness of the high ground, which was unreasonable.

Qing has also seen that his father is dissatisfied with the brothers' needles in the court, and he is also afraid that the disagreement between the two will be used by people with ulterior motives, causing unnecessary internal friction, and Qing chose to ignore Changyu's aggressiveness for the time being.

Qing saluted Shang and continued: "Father, in addition to the above, the Demon King recently ordered the military camps of the four directions to concentrate on the four frontiers...... Those tribes that were weak, did not obey government orders, and did not fully submit to them, in order to expand the centralization of power and reduce internal strife. The second is to recruit young and middle-aged people from these tribes, and then form a 500,000 demon army."

"What? add another 500,000, and the strength of the demon clan will surpass ours."

"The ambition of this demon race...... Not really."

"It's funny!"

“......”

After listening to Qing's analysis, the courtiers all seemed very flustered, and began to talk again.

After hearing this, your heart also sank, this series of actions of the demon clan was really unexpected, and it can be described as a good chess.

From the demon king's return to the court, busy with the government every day and night, and hard cultivation and other information, Jun has taken precautions against the demons, but their development speed is still beyond their imagination.

Jun thought in his heart, with the current strength of the demon clan, it would be difficult for the clan to deal with it, let alone add another 500,000 demon soldiers. Tempering the army in battle, coupled with the introduction of talents, if these combination punches are used, the strength will directly crush the clan.

Although Jun was anxious in his heart, his face was still calm, and his face did not change and said: "Prince, continue."

Qing looked majestic, and said: "Yes! More importantly, the Demon King Fu Minghuan recently announced that the Demon Army has completely broken the status quo of the division and rule of various ethnic groups, reorganized and combined, and unified standard management and training, so that a neat and uniform Demon Army will be more regular, and its combat effectiveness will definitely be greatly improved." In addition, Fu Minghuan's rectification of the tribes in the border region this time is to use the new demon army after the reorganization, and his purpose is obvious, that is, to train the new team in actual combat, and at the same time clear the obstacles within the clan to prevent the tribe from launching civil strife. After the Demon King completes this, the next step is to target, I'm afraid...... It's my clan, Erchen dared to guess, according to this trend, I'm afraid that within a thousand years, the clan and the demon clan will fight...... Perhaps, it is inevitable".

Chang Yu has been racking his brains to think, how can he remind his father to take precautions against Qing? Only the more distrustful his father is of Qing, the more his rights will be deprived, the more prominent his role will be, and the ministers will be more able to see the situation more clearly, and it is easy to fall to his side.

In response to Qing's words, Chang Yu had an idea in his heart, glanced at Qing, and said disdainfully: "Brother Prince, the more alarmist he is, why bother to grow the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige? Who doesn't know, the various races of the demon clan have always been fighting and fighting, and there is endless chaos and coaxing, how can there be a day of peace? Centralization? It's good to think about it, I'm afraid that the more it is rectified, the more the territory of some careerists in the court...... The bigger, the more power is concentrated in their hands, the ambition of careerists...... It is even bigger, like this, to seize the infighting of the Great Jingyang Palace...... I'm afraid it's not far off, this kind of cannibalism, isn't it just a pain in the bones? That's simply ...... It was also the demons who brought about their own destruction, and at that time, they saved themselves...... I'm afraid that they are all unable to do anything, and they have dug their own graves and buried themselves, and what are the big dreams of the Spring and Autumn Period of changing the land? Father, we can add fuel to the fire and let this happen sooner."

Jun looked at Chang Yu meaningfully, and suddenly realized that his son was really hard-winged, scheming, brave, scheming, and ruthless, and he was not only impressed by him, but also began to guard against him.

Qing heard that Chang Yu was targeting himself everywhere, and felt the need to remind all parties, "Chang Yu, if you don't understand the situation, don't talk about it and confuse the public, the affairs of the demon clan are by no means as simple as they seem on the surface, far more complicated than you think." They have been preparing for more than 10,000 years, and they have already done a million demon soldiers, and they have done nothing to fool me, so that our court has been deceived. What you can see, can't you see the hustle and bustle? If you can't see Mount Tai in a leaf, you will know what you know in the future, and if you don't know it, you won't be able to talk about it."

"You ......"

Chang Yu, who felt that Qing was beating well, and Jun was about to have a seizure, suppressed his thoughts that he didn't know what to do and wanted to continue to bite back.

Seeing his father's warning gaze, he saluted again, and continued: "Father, Erchen feels that the Demon King is extremely scheming, and he has long been suspicious of the big clan that holds power, and he has also taken action. As early as five or six thousand years ago, the great prince of the demon clan, Cheng Lie, trained a Flame Tiger Army outside the Nine Shadows City, each warrior was equipped with a Flame Tiger as a mount, and the number of Flame Tiger Army has always remained above 5,000 people, all of whom have the magic power of one to hundred. Nominally to protect the safety of the capital, in fact, it is a loyal and brave private soldier with strong combat power, only obeying the dispatch of the demon king, and from time to time some generals in the army are transferred to the Quartet military camp to serve, especially the reorganization of the new demon army, and many trusted generals and warriors are inserted by Cheng Lie."

Jun interjected, "This force is not to be reckoned with, prince, you must pay close attention to the movements of this army."

"Yes! Erchen also thought that the current vigorous recruitment of civil and military talents led by Cheng Lie was also to decompose and deprive ...... Excessive power in the hands of the powerful clans, the demon king wants to centralize power, not to give more to the clans, but to concentrate power in his own hands. ”

Jun nodded, "The analysis is reasonable, prince, what are the countermeasures?"

"Father, son-in-law feel that although the demon king has exhausted the organs, the demon clan has been in trouble for a long time, and the people are fierce and unwilling to be restrained, and some powerful ministers also have deep roots, and the battle between the open and dark will be stalemate for a long time, which is also my court...... Find a breakthrough in it, leave time and an opportunity".

Jun swept at the reaction of His Royal Highness's ministers and spoke: "Zhongqing, let's discuss all the things about the demon clan."

Tai Bai Xing took the lead in the ranks, knelt on the ground to salute, and also added: "Jun, the minister has something to do, and the minister is ordered by the king, and he has been investigating the truth and the truth at the critical boundary of the two courts, and found the power of the demon clan...... There are signs of penetration to the borderline. Judging from the information inside the North Court, Emperor Jiuyuan did not have any support for the tribes below, but at the border, some tribes that opposed us suddenly received generous material support, weapons, armor, food, money, and so on, and the disputes between the two courts also increased significantly. The minister had to suspect that it was the demons who were secretly supporting them to become bigger, and deliberately wanted to provoke the two courts. Just heard His Royal Highness the Prince's analysis, the minister couldn't help but wonder, could it be a demon clan...... If we want to take the opportunity to drag down the nine times, or do we want the yellow finch to stay behind and reap the benefits of the fisherman? If we allow it to develop, it is difficult to ensure that we do not go off the rails, and we have to guard against it."

Although he saw the hope of sending troops, but to be controlled by Chang Yu, who had always been opposed, Wei Ming knew that it was difficult to get benefits, and he was complaining in his heart.

"Yujun, the phenomenon of Venus, the minister also discovered, just that Luo Chen, not only the equipment has been replaced with brand new, the number of people has also increased a lot, and some of the ministers have been complaining recently, constantly being harassed by the North Court, all the clan lords are worried, panicked, please Mingjian, don't hurt the hearts of the ministers."

When you heard this, you were shocked again, if it was really the infiltration of the demon clan, then their combination punch would be too powerful, I am afraid that their long-term preparation is not as simple as taking revenge and striving for independence. It seems that Fu Yin Huan wants to overthrow him, the lord of the Six Realms, and wants to replace him.

Jun came back to his senses, his face was still calm, and he commanded: "Venus, your news is very important, you need to investigate it carefully, Changyu, you quickly investigate this matter with Venus, if this is the case, I don't think they can let their conspiracy succeed, if there is any movement, report it in time."

"Obey the order", Tai Platinum Star will return to the grain

"Yes!Father!", Chang Yu also took the order.

After a short silence, Xuan Yuan saluted Shang and said: "Jun, if what happened to Venus is indeed the work of the demon clan, then they will inevitably cultivate opposition forces within our clan to provoke civil strife in our clan, which can not only distract the attention of our court, but also distract my limited military strength, and it is also necessary to prevent and deal with the crime as soon as possible."

There should be no major wars, and Gou Chen, who has been deflated for more than 100,000 years, has already been eager to try, and he is also on the list, "Jun, the minister thinks that since the ambition of the demon thief is clear, it is better to directly send troops to destroy the demon clan, wouldn't it be more once and for all?

Taishang Laojun stroked his beard, listened quietly with slightly blind eyes, and when he heard Gou Chen's words, he shook off the dust of the Buddha and objected: "No! There must be a reason to send troops, and it is not justified to send troops rashly? The demon king has worked hard for more than 10,000 years, and he is so powerful...... It has attracted the attention of our clan, and it may be difficult to catch his reason. What's more, the North Court is not calm, the current situation is complicated, it is better to be still, and it is imperative to strategize and prepare for the war with all our might. Jun, Bing Ge ...... together We must be cautious."

Jun nodded, "Lao Jun is reasonable, then Lao Jun thinks, how to deal with it at the moment?"

Lao Jun pondered for a moment and replied: "The old man thinks that at present, it is necessary to stabilize all the clans first, and for possible dissidents, it is necessary to warn in advance and make every effort to prevent possible civil strife. For Beiting, it's better not to cause conflicts, maintain the status quo, don't intervene, don't intervene, don't take the initiative to cause trouble, and even ...... You can go around with some private feelings, increase understanding and communication, and let Emperor Jiuyuan know that our court cherishes all living beings and is willing to live in harmony, and we must resolve contradictions and local conflicts in private in line with the principle of harmonious coexistence, and make trouble on the other side, confirm that it is not Di Jiuyuan's doing, and let Beiting deal with it by itself. In short, Beiting can't be made to feel that Jiu Chong is an enemy of them, and he wants to make a big move against Emperor Jiuyuan at any time...... can only be appeased with a policy of softness".

As soon as Lao Jun's words fell, Chang Yu, who was in the main battle, couldn't help it, and stepped forward and said: "Erchen thinks that even if you don't send troops to the demon clan, at least you have to beat them, don't let them feel that our court doesn't know anything? Let them ...... I can also see our strength, and I can also be afraid to be more restrained."

Qing immediately retorted, "Father, my son, I think this is inappropriate! Judging from the current situation of the demon clan, they have been operating in a low-key manner for so long, and any form of beating ...... It will only startle the snake and accelerate their crazy movements. The ambition of the hustle and bustle, I am afraid that I want to change the place and ascend to the position of the lord of the six realms, and I am afraid that I already know our clan well. The top priority, what our court should do most should be like Lao Jun, is to stabilize the clan, not to confront the North Court, and then low-key expansion of troops and pay close attention to training, soldiers can not be used for a thousand days, not a day without preparation, we should actively prepare for war, in order to deal with the very likely future war. Of course, we must also take advantage of the secret power struggle between the big clans within the demon clan and the Great Jingyang Palace, looking for opportunities to disintegrate them, secretly support the forces that can surrender to our clan, and divide, weaken, and even disintegrate them from within."

Jun already had an idea in his heart, glanced at the ministers, and ordered: "Okay! According to today's discussion, this monarch has made a decision, Changyu and Tai Baixing will obey the order."

"The retainers are here"

"The Minister"

"Benjun ordered the two of you, according to Lao Jun's suggestion, to maintain a stable situation with Beiting, and strive to ease the relationship as much as possible, resolve the contradiction invisibly, and ensure that Beiting ...... No conflict with the clan"

"The Son's Order"

"Obey the Order"

"Puhua Xianjun and Gou Chen Xingjun obey orders, and this monarch orders the two of you to pay close attention to the trends of all ethnic groups, prevent microaggressions, take precautions, and beat and alert in time...... If you can't make a group that wants to be wrong, you can't make it converge...... Suppress it in time and beware of the occurrence of large-scale civil strife within the clan."

"Obey the Order"

"Xuanyuan Zhenjun and Changyu, order the two of you to come up with an expansion army and training plan to ensure that our army has enough ability to deal with the demon army and actively prepare for war."

"The Sons Obey the Order"

"Obey the Order"

Jun finally looked at Qing and ordered: "Prince Qing, you must personally follow the all-round movements of the demon clan, cultivate supportable forces, and strive for internal strife before they start a war." At the same time, you need to coordinate all parties to make overall arrangements and various plans...... Oh, call Guiyan back and cooperate with you."

Qing Shili received the order, "The son obeys the order!"
