Chapter 212: Disputes in the court

At the same moment, in the dormitory of the eldest prince Dongfang Shuo, the eldest prince Dongfang Shuo sat quietly on a chair, and beside him, there was a man with a long beard.

"Your Highness, a few days ago, my subordinates came, and the third prince received a guest there. I didn't think it was a big deal, so I put it in. Later, I checked, and that person was the president of a three-product chamber of commerce, and he had just been promoted to a three-grade chamber of commerce. ”

"Mr. Xue, you don't need to tell me these things, I don't have time to fight for power with the third child now, what else can he do to fight with me now? After this demon tide, he will leave the imperial city like the second child. Also, have those division commanders accepted the gifts I gave?" Dongfang Shuo waved his hand, as if he was not interested in what Mr. Xue said.

"Your Highness, rest assured, I will give the gifts according to their respective preferences, and they have no reason to refuse. His Royal Highness gave them gifts, which was to look up to them, and in a few days, it would be their turn to give them to His Highness. ”

"Okay, tell me what I like to hear. ”

"All the division commanders who may be connected with the Three Princes, I have sent people to check it, although there is no guarantee that they can stand on our side, but they will definitely not stand on the side of the Three Princes; and for those forces that belong to him, as long as they have a little strength, I have sent people to make trouble, and they themselves are too busy; as for those sects that are related to the Three Princes--I am not too worried about this, even if those people have a good relationship with the Three Princes, I don't think there will be many people who really help him, and I doubt that he can get a place to participate in the war。 ”

"Well, that's right, that guy from the third brother, although he has some talent in martial arts, but he is far behind me in the imperial road. He usually attracts some people in the rivers and lakes - but in the face of the real war, these people have a. Just send someone to urge those hesitant division commanders, don't let them stand on the side of the third prince, hmph, a group of soft bones, I can't deal with those few corps commanders, I can't deal with you?"

"Your Highness is mighty. ”

He Baiqian, who returned to Wuyun Town, began to prepare for the fight against the demon tide that night, from the scheduling of resources, to the allocation of manpower, as well as the corresponding policies and the handling of urgent matters. In the Eastern Regions, the Adventure Guild and the Tongbao Chamber of Commerce were secretly merged, after all, the controller of the Adventure Guild was He Baiqian.

A meeting was held directly within the Adventure Guild, and the participants in this meeting were all the top leaders of the Tongbao Chamber of Commerce and the Adventure Guild.

"President, do you think those adventure groups are really so easy to be dispatched? they are actually just for those points, and they are not under our jurisdiction at all on weekdays. Above the meeting, a man asked.

"The so-called scheduling depends on whether those pies are big or not, and whether they can be tempted. As long as this is done sufficiently, we are not afraid that they will not listen to us -- it is an eternal truth that people die for money, and birds die for food. ”

"President, according to what you said, when the demon tide breaks out, I'm afraid there will be an overwhelming number of demon beasts. When those parties earn a huge amount of points, but they can't redeem them, will this have any bad impact on our reputation?"

"Exchange in batches, and there is also a large purchase of some healing and recovery pills from various chambers of commerce, as well as some commonly used pills such as detoxification pills, and at the same time release this news to enhance the trust of those adventure groups in us. The purchase price of materials can be slightly increased, but the quantity must be sufficient, at least for two months. ”

"President, what do you think you can do to make those adventurers even better--"

"It's more obedient, right, then adopt a ranking reward system, distribute corresponding additional rewards according to the ranking, and at the same time, I will apply with those people in the royal family to see if I can go to any honors and other things - for these casual cultivators, these honors are also what they need, and they also need the recognition of these officials!"

One question after another was raised, and He Baiqian was also there to solve it constantly, but as time went by, He Baiqian also became a little impatient.

"President--"

"Okay, what's the use of what I want you to do one by one? Just ask questions, none of them have your own opinions, you are all idle meals, I will go directly to make a specific plan later, you can see for yourself, what shortcomings are being put forward - you should be able to do this." Alright, adjourn!"

Compared with He Baiqian's hectic here, Dongfang Chang was much calmer. Perhaps underneath this calm, there will be some invisible undercurrents surging.

The next day, the East Pole Imperial City ushered in a new dawn, but the anger that has gradually become suppressed recently has made the people here a little breathless. Especially above the court, those ministers who were all hesitant were thinking about how to stand in line and which side to fall.

"Is there anything going on today? If it's okay, just retreat. Dongfang Qianmo, sitting on the dragon chair, some of his old faces could not see joy, anger and sorrow, he has been this face for so many years, maybe he has also become accustomed to this face.

"Erchen is playing again!" At this time, Dongfang Chang stood up. Like Dongfang Shuo, he stood in front of the ministers, but compared to Dongfang Shuo, who stood still, he just stood up directly.

Say. ”

"The demon tide is coming, and the sons are willing to share their father's worries. Dongfang Chang said bluntly.

"Third brother, just leave this kind of thing to the eldest brother, so why bother you? Besides, it's not the eldest brother who said you, which division commander here is willing to hand over his soldiers to you? Third brother, do you want to fight those demon beasts alone?" Dongfang Shuo heard Dongfang Chang's words, and stood up with a sneer in his heart, seemingly to dissuade him from doing stupid things, but in fact he was mocking him for not doing stupid things.

"Big brother has a wide range of connections, and I can't compare. But for my father's worries, even if it is me, I will do it. Dongfang Chang said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Oh, you said you're alone, so how much of a battle are you going to be responsible for? a village or a town? Hmph, if that's the case, you'll lose the face of the entire royal family alone. If those countrymen see a dignified prince fighting there alone, wouldn't they laugh at the fact that there is no one in our dynasty?" Dongfang Shuo said righteously.

"Big brother, even if I only kill one demon beast, then I will also share the responsibility of a demon beast for my father, which you can't ignore; If my father asks me to take on the defense of a town, then I will protect the whole town, and if my father asks me to take on the defense of a village, then I will make sure that the people in that village will not be harmed in the slightest. ”

"Okay, what's the noise. Chang'er is right, then how much of the battle area are you going to be responsible for?" Dongfang Shuo just wanted to say something, but was stopped by Dongfang Qianmo.

"I am willing to take charge of the combat area of five divisions. As soon as Dongfang Chang's words fell, the entire court suddenly became crowded like a frying pan, and Dongfang Shuo looked at him coldly.

The Eastern Pole Dynasty has four legions, one legion in the east, west, north and south of the entire dynasty guarding it, and this time the demon tide of the Thunder Mountain Demon Vein is basically in charge of the Frost Legion guarding the west.

And the commander of this Frost Legion is Dongfang Shuo's brother-in-law, and he also gives full support to Dongfang Shuo - of the thirty divisions in the entire legion, there are already six divisions that clearly support Dongfang Shuo, and none of them support Dongfang Chang.

But as soon as Dongfang Chang's previous words came out, those old ministers couldn't figure it out for a while, and they didn't know what cards Dongfang Chang was playing.

"Third brother, that's the battle area of five divisions, and that means the battle of 10 million people--even if you say that the people sent by your father to protect you are all used, such a large battle area will definitely not be able to take care of it completely. What kind of mess will happen at that time, where do you put your father's face?" Dongfang Shuo said cool words directly on the side, at this time, he hoped that Dongfang Qianjiao could agree, he didn't care about those who might die in the battle, he only hoped that Dongfang Chang could lose face now, so that he would lose the threat of competing with him for the crown prince, and let him lose his father's trust in him.

"Father, I, Dongfang Chang, am willing to make a military order, if a demon beast breaks through the combat area of the five divisions I am in charge of, I am willing to apologize for my own crimes. Dongfang Chang knelt down directly and looked at Dongfang Qianjiao with a sincere face.

When Dongfang Shuo heard this, he was overjoyed. He was sure that Dongfang Chang would not have so many manpower to be in charge of the combat area of the five divisions, and once he made a military order but did not complete it, even if he was saved from death because of his status as a prince, he would definitely not pose the slightest threat to himself at that time.

"The third brother is arrogant, I really didn't misunderstand you. Since you are so resolute, the eldest brother will intercede with his father and ask him to agree to you to be in charge of the five divisions and regiments. Dongfang Shuo also knelt down directly, "I implore my father to fulfill it." ”

At this time, some people who planned to follow the eldest prince Dongfang Shuo also stood behind Dongfang Shuo and asked Dongfang to complete it, while others were opposed by public and private people. And some old ministers showed a little dazed in their eyes, and they didn't know what decision Dongfang Qianmo would make.
