Riding a rouge horse, Chen Tang returned to the state government in a hurry, and with an order, officials of all sizes came to a meeting.

This team was raised by Chen Tang, except for a few "old men" such as Gu Heng, everyone else was given the opportunity to join the government because of Chen Tang's ascension. It's not that they don't have the ability and ability, but the dynastic system has been redundant for a long time, and the class has been solidified, so that many good talents have lost the channels to get ahead, and they have not met talents. Now that he can become an official in politics, he is extraordinarily diligent and hardworking.

Not long after, the Fuchen Taoist of Fushan Temple brought Zhan Yangchun, as well as the abbot of Jinchan Temple, and several old monks who were born to attend the hall.

When everyone saw this, they secretly speculated, but they didn't know what had happened.

Sitting on the main seat, Chen Tang's eyes swept away, not angry but mighty, and then said loudly: "Do you know demons?"

When I heard the word "demon", the house was in an uproar.

Those who can be selected to serve in the state government will not be illiterate ordinary people, but scholars who have read poetry and books and are well-informed. Even though they had never dealt with demons, they had never eaten pork and had seen pigs run, and they had more or less heard of that taboo-like existence.

As for the people of the Floating Dust Dao, they are different from the world, but there are cultivators, of course, they know it in their hearts. This is also the reason why they rushed to the state government as soon as they received the invitation. For ordinary affairs, where you will come in person, you can send a disciple to walk on your behalf.

Chen Tang Zhengse said: "There is a purebred demon who has come to Panzhou. ”

Hearing that there was only one, many officials were visibly relieved. They don't know how terrible demons are, and they don't understand what purebred is, and they only think about one person, and it's not difficult to deal with. Although the huge state capital has just recovered from a catastrophe and lacks vitality, there is also a huge city with high walls and thousands of soldiers and armor. When the time comes, a group will attack it, and ten thousand arrows will be fired at once, and no demon will be a problem.

It's no wonder that they make such judgments, after all, few people have ever seen real demons. The rule of the dynasty is relied on by the army and the armor, and it is invincible.

Chen Tang didn't explain much, the most important thing at this time was that people's hearts were stable, so after saying a few words, he asked most of the officials to go down and take charge of the daily order of the state capital.

After a while, only Tan Zhao and the Floating Dao people remained in the hall.

Although Tan Zhao lost his military power, he was born in Jiangmen and knew the most about the strength of the armor in the city. And he, apparently, has a certain understanding of "purebred demons", and his face is gloomy.

Chen Tang looked over and asked, "General Tan, do you have anything to say?"

Tan Zhao thought for a while: "My lord, it is said that the demonic power is infinite, invulnerable, climbing mountains and wading through rivers, like walking on the ground. He will break into the city, lest the walls and its guards will not be able to stop it. ”

Chen Tang nodded in approval. When the strength of the individual surpasses the worldly cognition, it will become extremely terrifying, and there is no need to talk about any reason and rules.

He is the rule.

Tan Zhao said again: "There is a bed crossbow installed on the city wall, which is very powerful, and may be able to pose a threat to the demons, but I don't know how the other party will break into the city, the bed crossbow is fixed on it, lacks mobility, and it is easy to fall into passivity." ”

The so-called "bed crossbow" is a fierce weapon for defending the city, with five shots at a time and a very fast rate of fire. It was originally designed to be aimed at demons. Each crossbow is more than a zhang long, and the tip is forged from stainless steel, engraved with a special pattern, and the monk is also invited to open the light. When an idle spirit is shot by it, it will bleed and suffer heavy damage.

However, whether it is a spirit or a demon, if they want to enter the city, it does not mean that they have to break in, but there is another way. For example, the art of transformation, and maybe put on a painted skin, and you can swagger in.

As a result, the nine doors dedicated to demons and evil came into being, and there were no cultivators from the two families.

The emperors of the dynasty, all dynasties have set up the position of national teacher, or invite Taoist masters, or worship the monks of the Buddha's family, the royal family's intentions, the main thing is to win people's hearts, so that these cultivators can be used by the court and serve their lives, so as to suppress the demon family.

The strategy paid off, with humanity thriving and the Maison weakening.

However, the most important thing in dynastic rule is nothing more than the golden mean, in a word: balance.

Only balance can last long. Once the balance is broken, chaos ensues. On the one hand, the imperial court suppressed the family, and on the other hand, it was also afraid of cultivators, but it was afraid that one day a great supernatural person would emerge, who could fly a sword for thousands of miles and fly straight to the Forbidden City to be beheaded, which was terrible.

And the biggest thing that can suppress these transcendent forces is to raise and train troops. So the state capitals recruited and bought troops. After the development, the leadership system was formed, and finally the disaster of the local generals being unruly and supporting the army was self-respecting, and after the sudden death of the emperor, it caused a series of military turmoil.

In essence, in fact, this is also the reason why the government and the opposition have lost their balance.

How easy is it to govern the country?

Without mentioning it, having said that, Chen Tang ordered Tan Zhao to order an elite heavy armored cavalry, fully clothed, and stay in the barracks to stand by at any time.

Tan Zhao knew that the situation was serious, so he immediately took the order.

At this time, Chen Tang looked at the floating dust Taoist.

This old Tao, whose cultivation is unfathomable, is a great reliance.

The Fuchen Daoist still looked sloppy, and said lazily: "My lord, you must have already made arrangements, just say it." Our generation of monks is not at odds with demons, and will never stand idly by. ”

Over there, the abbot recited the Buddha's name: "What the Fuchen monk said is extremely true, although the adults command, Wujin Temple has no two words." ”

The two Daoist families expressed their attitudes, and Chen Tang was very satisfied, so he said: "It's not a secret, the imperial court has a master of Qincha here, who was born in the Hu family, and his cultivation is extraordinary. ”

As he spoke, he looked at his face and saw that Fuchen and the others were very calm, perhaps they already knew about it. In other words, it is very likely that Tu Shanyi has already passed the qi beforehand. This is not surprising, the Hu family has worked hard and formed friendships, and as a half-breed, they can be recognized by the human race.

Chen Tang said: "It's the fourth elder of the Huang family, his strength is terrifying, if he is allowed to break into the city and start a killing spree, this Panzhou will suffer again, and I don't know how many innocent people have been killed." So I thought, it's better to solve it outside the city. ”

He clasped his palms together: "Good, as it should be." ”

If the fourth elder of the Huang family breaks through, sharp weapons such as bed crossbows can naturally play a role, and they are afraid that the other party will secretly touch Chen Cang and enter the city unconsciously, and the layout of the city will become decorations, and there will be no place for it.

In this case, it is better to start a war outside the city, after all, when the fight starts, the people who can really go into battle are the people here, and the others will go and die in vain. Of course, the elite led by Tan Zhao can be used as a backhand.

Moreover, the fourth elder of the Huang family is not here to eat blood in the city, but to have another goal. As long as the target is used as bait, you can adapt to local conditions, set up a killing game, and increase your chances of winning.

This is exactly the plan of Chen Tang and Tu Shanyi.
