Chapter 277: Enemy at the Gate
"It takes great courage for one person to shoulder the whole world's counterattack." Mei Changsu got the news quickly. He received the news right after the court meeting.

He walked out of the courtyard and looked at the busy street. The area next to his courtyard was very lively. A small department store had been set up there. After Shen Qingzhou came to Jinling, the business development was very rapid.

Many of the people he had seen before now had smiles on their faces, smiles that indicated a good life.

Nowadays, Jinling City is undergoing demolition and construction everywhere. While Shen Qingzhou is dealing with the affairs of the world, he has not forgotten about the construction of Jinling City. In fact, because Jinling is under the feet of the emperor and has the most powerful people, he is the only one who can suppress this group of people.

That night, the news spread throughout Jinling City.

"It means that after the corvée is unified, apart from these types, if anyone wants to collect the rest, it means they are against the imperial court."

"Yes, this was proposed by Lord Shen from the Cabinet in the court. I heard that everyone is against it."

"It's normal to oppose it. Officials have to pay taxes too."

"Oh, my son is still studying. Why don't he stop studying? Even if you are a scholar, you can't avoid these things."

"Brother Wang, you think too much. Your son is studying in a free school, and it doesn't cost any money. Do you really expect him to have a good reputation?"

"Forget it. It has little to do with us. Have you heard that the north part of the city is going to be demolished?"

"It's almost done. If it weren't for some shameless rich and powerful people who bought the land there temporarily and wanted to make money from the real estate developers, it would have been demolished long ago. The Jinling government has made the ruling, and we ordinary people can have a good meal."

"Lord Shen is such a good official."

"What's good? I take a detour every day."

"Lao Zhang, you are being unreasonable. Although it is inconvenient to go out, you dare to say you are uncomfortable when you change to that kind of road."

"Yes."

There were endless praises. In this feudal era, if the people were treated better, they could really feel it.

The imperial court also worked at full speed, and under Shen Qingzhou's urging, the decree spread throughout Daliang within a month.

Officials from all continents had no time to react. Normally, it would take three to five years for a national policy to be implemented. But now, why is it happening so quickly?

And combined with the performance evaluation system, if there are places where more than 30% of people are unaware of the new national policy, the person responsible should be found.

Officials and scholars all over the world were extremely dissatisfied with Shen Qingzhou for a time. If he offended the scholars, his reputation would definitely be bad.

However, Shen Qingzhou could not resist and directly stood on the side of the people with the interests. The scholars also took this opportunity to express their malice towards Shen Qingzhou, and let the people of the world know about Shen Zheng.

Tanzhou's reaction was the quickest because they had a foundation. The governor had already pretended to be dead, and he was not in the court, so he didn't know the details. However, the Shen family business was in Tanzhou and was now a pillar industry, so he could only turn a blind eye.

The surrounding countries also knew about the changes in Daliang. Originally, Emperor Liang did not attend court, so many neighbors felt that there would be civil unrest and had been ready to take action. Now, this process was just accelerated.

southern border.

"Shen Zheng, what exactly do you want to do?" Nihuang naturally also received messages from the court and her friends in the capital. She had been away from Jinling for nearly half a year, and too many things had happened.

Shen Qingzhou jumped from the position of Jingzhao prefect to the cabinet. Although his rank remained unchanged on the surface, he could now suppress the entire court, despite the righteousness of Prince Huai.

Nihuang knew very well that Shen Qingzhou was very dangerous, and she also felt a sense of unfamiliarity with Shen Qingzhou. Many people had their own speculations as to why Emperor Liang did not attend court.

"Princess, there are changes in the Nanchu army formation." Someone suddenly came to report. Nihuang knew that the first wave of pressure had arrived. It was impossible for the other side to attack with a large army. These were all tests. In fact, they wanted to cause civil unrest, which was the most critical and fatal.

She herself knew that Shen Qingzhou's national policies were actually good things for ordinary people, but they were definitely not good things for people with a say. Even her own Mu Palace was affected. There were some voices that she could not suppress, and there was no way to suppress them.

"It seems that the opportunity has come." Emperor Liang was in the imperial city and knew all these things. He was under semi-house arrest, but if he wanted to know some information, it was definitely not that difficult.

In other words, Shen Qingzhou also deliberately neglected the imperial city. Some things need to be detonated. Since he dared to take drastic measures, he was already prepared.

"A storm is about to come." Shen Qingzhou stood on the city wall with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance. After staying for a while, he returned to the government office.

"Do you feel that this wall is a little bit higher?"

"Your eyes are blurry."

Shen Qingzhou felt the overwhelming talent. The entire Jinling City had become a storage place for his talent. Now, relying on Jinling City, he could resist the armies of the world. He was so confident.

On the way back to the government office, he saw a wholesale man in white clothes. The other party looked at him with interest, but he didn't take it seriously, even though he already knew who the other party was.

[Host contacts Lin Chen and gains skill points x 1000]

……

"It's really amazing. His power is restrained and unique." Returning to speed, Lin Chen evaluated Shen Qingzhou.

"However, he acted too hastily. He took a wrong step." Lin Chen said this with a serious look in his eyes.

"Do you have any new news?" Mei Changsu asked.

"Every state in Daliang is dissatisfied with him. In fact, some places have already had public opinion that he is a powerful official and that the illness of the Liang emperor was caused by him.

The most important point is that someone has already wanted to take action. The surrounding countries are just testing the waters, but the one in Daliang can no longer bear it. "

"Ye Qin." Mei Changsu said affirmatively.

"What are you going to do?" Lin Chen asked.

"Nowadays, it seems that my problems are nothing compared to his." Mei Changsu coughed.

"Your illness is getting worse, but now, Emperor Liang is trapped in the imperial city, the case of Chiyan." Lin Chen said. He and Mei Changsu were sure that Emperor Liang was trapped.

"It was only in the last two months that we were able to confirm that Prince Huai was extremely timid and dared to do such a thing. The most important point is that even with Shen Zheng, how did they do it?" It is extremely difficult for the imperial city to capture Emperor Liang.

"Maybe it's because he is good at martial arts. After all, he is the best master in the world." Lin Chen joked.

"Ahem, now, Prince Yu and the Crown Prince have already established contact with Emperor Liang. Why does he never seem to care about the affairs of the Imperial City? Prince Huai still has a weak foundation." Mei Changsu said.

"I don't understand, but I will understand soon. Now, they are all waiting for a fatal blow." A storm is coming to Jinling City.

There is also laziness in the court. You say I should do it, but there are objective difficulties and there is nothing I can do.

Shen Qingzhou follows the law and says, "If you dare to be lazy in your work, I will remove you." In Jinling City, he is hated by everyone in the high-level group.

With Jinling City as the core, Shen Qingzhou's national policy has been running smoothly over the past few months. Shen Qingzhou is also slowly dealing with matters that are far away from home.

"The prefect of Qingyang Prefecture reported that the local area was attacked by a group of scholars and failed to convey national policies on time."

"Report the names of the local scholars who attacked the government office, and order them not to take the imperial examinations for three years. The prefect of Qingyang is temporarily unable to run Qingyang Prefecture, and order the Ministry of Personnel to investigate his past achievements."

In the cabinet, Shen Qingzhou was like a machine, without any thoughts. He annotated every memorial first. This was the job of the cabinet. As for Prince Huai, he was the acting emperor on paper, but he knew his place.

Another month later, the court meeting.

“Your Highness Prince Huai, urgent news came today that the East China Sea navy is invading the coastal islands, and Southern Chu has increased its troops outside Qingming Pass to confront the southern border.” The Minister of War stepped out and said to Prince Huai.

"This actually happened." Prince Huai couldn't help but look at Shen Qingzhou.

"Nan Chu and Donghai are both tests, we can send more troops to help." Shen Qingzhou said.

Another court meeting.

"Report, Ye Qin has shown signs of mobilizing troops because the surrounding countries are eyeing us covetously. Soldiers are stationed in various places, and the local governor has specifically requested the capital to send troops." This time, many ministers became nervous. Shen Qingzhou frowned slightly. This was a trap.

There is no way he can start a war. It's just that the various continents in Daliang are dissatisfied with him and want to create dangers everywhere so that he can't take care of everything.

“Prince Huai, other countries have made great attempts but have shown no signs of actually mobilizing troops. However, Ye Qin is in our country of Daliang, so we still need to dispatch troops to garrison him. It would be better for us to ask His Majesty the Emperor to use military orders to suppress him.” Prince Yu said.

"Your Highness, this can be done." Shen Qingzhou's approval made Liu Cheng narrow his eyes. Was he careless?

"Order Duke Heng to lead the Qingli Army to suppress the unusual movements of Yeqin." On the second day, Duke Heng went out as the commander-in-chief, and Prince Yu was delighted.

A few days later, Prince Yu and the Crown Prince went out of the city, and no one knew what they did.

"Report, there are rebel soldiers ten miles outside the city, they, they." During a court meeting, a messenger appeared.

"What?" a minister asked.

"It is said that we should purge the imperial court. Lord Shen Zheng abused his power, colluded with Prince Huai, and drugged His Majesty." As soon as the messenger said this, many people looked at this man who had already established himself in the court and was now the true number one in the court.

Many people also lamented that if it weren't for his national policies that offended a large number of people, this kind of thing would not have happened today. Shen Zheng is really a very capable person.

"Nonsense." Prince Huai stood up and said, he looked panicked. Could it be that the day he was worried about every day had finally come?

"Prince Huai, it has come to this, why don't you ask my father to come out so that they can withdraw their troops." Prince Yu said. Everyone ignored who was the main messenger in this so-called purge of the court. How could they mobilize the army without a military order? This was unreasonable.

"Why so anxious? Let's go and take a look first. The enemy is at the gate of the city, so there must be a reason." Shen Zheng's words made King Huai agree repeatedly.

Two thousand imperial guards and eight hundred patrol battalions were dispatched from the imperial city. At this moment, they were standing at the east gate, confronting the army outside the city.

"Shen Zheng is arrogant and domineering. He imposes taxes arbitrarily, making the people of the world suffer. His Majesty was drugged by him and sent a secret letter. Otherwise, we would have been deceived by him all along. You should open the city gate quickly. We will not make it difficult for you." Someone outside the city began to shout and curse.

At the city gate, a group of ministers came with Shen Zheng, and many of them wanted to see Shen Qingzhou's excitement.

"Sir Shen, what you said must be false. Prince Huai, please ask our father to come out." Prince Yu said.

This was purely intentional. Shen Qingzhou glanced at Prince Huai and did not blame him. He himself had no power, and it was normal for Emperor Liang to contact other people if he intentionally let him go.

He believed that the Jicheng Army had definitely received orders from Emperor Liang himself, otherwise, without the military token, the other side would never dare to risk the world's condemnation and besiege Nanjing.

It was precisely because they were the Jicheng Army, which was originally established to protect Jinling, that they were able to march to the city in such a high-profile manner.

"Sir, there is no one in the department store. They all ran away." Someone in the camp under the city reported in a low voice.

"What do you want to do? Our goal is to clear out the emperor's entourage." The general looked at his lackey, feeling very disappointed.

"Lord Shen is not that kind of person, right? He didn't increase taxes, so he is talking nonsense, right?" Many soldiers guarding the city were also whispering to each other.

Everyone can see that after Lord Shen took office, everyone's life has become better and better. Only those high-ranking officials are unhappy.

"Lord Shen, what do you think?" said the prince.

"Sir Shen, please come out, His Majesty."

It was very interesting to see all the officials forcing Shen Qingzhou together. It was obvious that they felt that he had no power to turn the situation around. Now, it was clear that the group of people outside were looking for Shen Qingzhou and Prince Huai. As long as His Majesty showed up, the crisis could be resolved.

In fact, there are some people in Jicheng’s army who are the real controllers. Everyone is afraid of being overturned. If the enemy is at the gates of the city, they really have this idea. Although the possibility is not high, if the generals want to rebel, the soldiers have to be willing to do so.

Don't even think about turning the fake into reality. Nanjing is the center of the country. Even if you really break it, what you will get is chaos in the world. Everyone will attack you and kill you first.

Shen Qingzhou looked towards the palace and seemed to see the smiling Emperor Liang. This must be the other party's intention to humiliate him. However, it was too late for him.

"I'm Shen Zheng. I promise here that if you retreat, we will only eliminate the ringleader of the rebellion." Shen Qingzhou launched a tirade, and the enemy army began to get into chaos.

"Sir Shen, the Imperial Guards are not allowed to leave the camp without orders. We will just use our patrol camp and two thousand Imperial Guards to ask His Majesty to come out and solve the problem." Prince Yu said.

"Your Highness Prince Yu, did you know that when I was in Dongyang Prefecture, I led my men to defeat the attacking Murong cavalry?" The other officials remained silent and retreated to the back.

"Lord Shen is brave, but it's different now. There are 50,000 troops outside the city."

"Actually, it's no different, Sanyang. I order you to lead 2,000 imperial guards to attack. Do you dare?" Shen Qingzhou said. "I dare." Shen Sanyang raised his head. He was anxious. Even the dumbest person knew that this time, they were targeting Shen Qingzhou. This was a counterattack by the powerful.

We only found out today that 50,000 troops are needed. This shows one thing: a lot of people are involved.

"Go, the Tanzhou garrison will fight with you." Shen Qingzhou said.

"Tanzhou garrison, could it be that Lord Shen is confused?"

The city gates were wide open, and two thousand imperial guards, led by the commander and Shen Sanyang, went out of the city together. The imperial guards were also afraid, but the military order was as heavy as a mountain.

"The chestnut horse has a new white jade saddle, the moonlight is cold after the battle on the battlefield. The sound of iron drums on the city wall is still shaking, and the blood on the golden sword in the box has not yet dried." But Shen Qingzhou ignored Prince Yu. In Jinling City, he couldn't think of how he could lose.

His poems shook Jinling, and many people knew that this was his martial arts. However, there were 50,000 troops on the other side, what use would you be alone? And this poem was to summon your guard, so what use was it?

Mei Changsu was also at a corner of the city gate, looking at the army outside the city. He felt a little ashamed. He knew some things in advance, but for his own plan, he did not inform Shen Qingzhou, although he did not need to.

He knew that there was no danger this time as there was a complete countermeasure as long as Emperor Liang appeared. But now, it seemed that Shen Zheng was determined to fight to the end.

"What is that?" Fei Liu's face suddenly darkened, and Meng Zhi was also a little confused. Is this also a martial art?

The sky suddenly became dark and a huge white beam of light appeared. When the white light faded away, more than 500 people suddenly appeared outside the city gate and in front of the imperial guards. The first person to be hit was a man riding a white warhorse but wearing civil servant clothes.

"This is." Shen Sanyang looked at this scene. The person in the front was himself, and Zhang Sanbao. This was the defense of Dongyang Prefecture, where he and others fought against Murong's 5,000 cavalry.

"Who is this." Many people looked at the more than 500 people and were surprised. Many people saw that the person in the front was clearly Shen Qingzhou.

"I seem to know how he was able to break the situation between His Majesty and Xia Jiang." Even if he didn't believe it, the reality was already staring him in the face.

"Master Shen, what is this? Is it related to your martial arts?" Shen asked.

"This is the scene where I led the Dongyang Prefecture Army to defeat Murong's cavalry."

"But, isn't it about summoning guards?" Cai Quan added, which is also the question that many people are wondering.

"Lord Cai, you're joking. In a competition, it's all good as long as you win," Shen Qingzhou said.

“After a hundred battles in the yellow sand, I’ll wear out my golden armor. I’ll never return until I have conquered Loulan.” Under the city gate, the somewhat illusory Shen Qingzhou suddenly uttered a poem, and then, dots of golden light directly enveloped the five hundred brothers, as well as the two thousand imperial guards led by Shen Sanyang and the commander of the imperial guards.

Now, in Jinling City, let alone this scene, even if he directly summoned himself at the eighth level, it would be enough. That would be a very scary thing.

"Bring the arrows." Shen Qingzhou's shadow shouted from under the city, and a bow appeared in his hand. At the same time, a huge figure appeared in the sky. Even those on the city wall had to look up. It was a big man in gorgeous clothes, but his face was blurry.

Then, the poems of "Capturing the King" and "Song of the Frontier" rang out. As Shen Qingzhou's shadow drew his bow, the huge figure also drew his bow. The bow and arrows merged into one and flew directly towards the flag of the Jicheng army. Then, the flag was shot down.

These are what he did in the past, and now, the summoner naturally has to do the same.

Everything happened too fast. The Jicheng army had no idea that they would have to fight another battle with an army of 50,000.

"Follow my command and shoot." Shen Qingzhou's shadow said this, and the five hundred people behind him did not hesitate. "Capture the King" and "Go Down to the Frontier" have bonuses for archery.

"Listen to him, shoot arrows, follow him later, listen to him." Feeling the inexplicable power, Shen Sanyang gave the order without hesitation, and the imperial guards also followed and shot arrows.

Then, an overwhelming rain of arrows appeared, and the front troops of the 50,000-strong army wailed. Shen Qingzhou knew that many people were just following orders, but since the enemy was at the gate of the city, he could not be merciful. Only when he was around, the world was just, and whoever stopped him from doing justice was his enemy.

The front army was in chaos, but in fact, they had restrained their attacks and were shooting towards the generals.

"This shooting range." Not all officials are ignorant of war. Many people looked at Shen Qingzhou's shadow and shot as soon as he went out. They were a little sarcastic at first, but now, they no longer have this idea at all.

"Sir Shen, as long as we can ask our father to come out, there is no need to start a war." Prince Yu was a little anxious. No one wanted to really fight, but wanted to scare Shen Qingzhou, but what did he do?

"Your Highness Prince Yu, this is the capital. Leaving the camp without a military token is tantamount to rebellion."

While they were talking here, under the city, Shen Qingzhou's shadow had already begun to lead his men to charge. It was now broad daylight, and many people had already discovered that these 500-odd figures looked different from real people and all looked unreal. At this moment, they were leading their men to charge towards the central army camp.

"Protect the central army." The Jicheng army is no pushover and has begun mobilizing troops.

"Kill them." Some voices began to be heard in the sky. They were all some poems that Shen Qingzhou used on the battlefield at that time. However, he did not have such eloquent words at that time, and he was also using rice paper, so the sounds were drowned out by the battle.

The imperial guards and Shen Sanyang also felt something different. They felt like they were not that useful.

Shen Sanyang looked at his own shadow hacking around in front of him and felt speechless. His martial arts skills were not that high now, so they must have been improved.

Then, in the chaos of the army, he heard a poem that made him suddenly realize, no, it shouldn't be so fast, it took a long time to appear after charging, but never mind, it was a good thing.

"I will go to Quantai to recruit my old subordinates, with 100,000 flags, to kill Yama Luo."

Another white light appeared in the sky. Everyone looked up and saw a black gate appearing with a white light curtain in the middle. Then, eighteen riders walked out of the light curtain one after another. There was also a battle flag suspended in the air with the words "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry" written on it. However, these eighteen riders and the flag looked particularly unreal.

After all, Shen Qingzhou is not using it himself now. At the beginning, he could only summon Eighteen Tigers and Leopards of this level. However, it was enough.

Eighteen riders rode black horses directly towards the central army camp. All the soldiers in Jicheng were stunned. They were all soldiers and received food, so wasn't this a bit too much?

"Playing tricks." The commander of the central army was terrified, but he remained strong and calm.

As for the people in the city, many people looked at Shen Qingzhou and had an illusion in their hearts, wondering if this was still martial arts.

"Yeah." Lin Chen said in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Mei Changsu asked.

"Your skills are not as good as before, so you can't see clearly. These eighteen riders are a bit too terrifying. They kill the enemies at their weakest points." It doesn't sound scary, but Mei Changsu has been on the battlefield. How could he have so much energy in the midst of chaos?

"No, that is." A huge phantom of a Fang Tian Hua Ji suddenly appeared in the sky. Meng Zhi felt that he had learned martial arts in vain. He could also transform his qi into a shape, and a flaming sword could appear in his hand. However, this Fang Tian Hua Ji was obviously beyond the scope of his studies.

The Fang Tian Hua Ji went straight towards the camp, and then with a loud bang, the camp had turned into a big pit. Several generals were trembling with fear. Fortunately, they were fighting and did not stay in the camp.

However, he was not lucky enough as he had to watch a dozen black knights rushing towards him. Then, his wrists and ankles were pierced and he was carried to Shen Sanyang's side.

"The main culprit has been captured. Here is the military order. You are ordered to stop immediately." His eloquent tongue made great contributions. Slowly, the war stopped.

Everything happened too fast. The phantoms and the imperial guards had just fought with the front army when the Eighteen Riders penetrated deep into the enemy camp and captured several commanders. They were leaderless. The most important point was that they were not rebelling. With their commanders captured, they were leaderless and there was no need to continue fighting.

Another point is that the Eighteen Riders were too decisive, or rather, the Jicheng Army had no idea that the Imperial Guards would go into battle. With the generals together, the Eighteen Riders were like divine soldiers that descended from the sky and directly defeated them.

Also because the appearance of these eighteen riders is too fantastic, many people think they are heavenly soldiers and generals, mainly because martial arts don't work that way.

"Put down your weapons. Except for the main culprit, no one else will be implicated." As the first person laid down his weapon, people followed suit. As I said before, they had no backbone and no purpose of their own.

"Your Highness, we still need to interrogate these people. Who asked them to come? The Jicheng army passed many guard posts along the way, but no news came back. There must be a traitor. Although the Jicheng army besieged the capital, they all obeyed orders. Please don't blame them too much." Shen Qingzhou said.

"Lord Shen is right. Let Lord Shen handle everything." The fear on Prince Huai's face turned into a look of surprise that he could no longer control.

"Then Your Highness should return to the palace first. His Majesty might be frightened." Shen Qingzhou said.

"Of course." Prince Huai brought several hundred imperial guards back to the imperial city, which was enough. Even if he was ignorant, he knew that for an army to come to Jinling City silently, it would be impossible for Prince Yu and the Crown Prince to do it without their father, the emperor, and their power, especially without the military token.

Prince Yu and the Crown Prince were also terrified. How could this happen? They had been planning this for so long, originally thinking of using the army to subdue Shen Zheng, but now, it had ended in failure.

They also felt that the generals of Jicheng Army were useless and could be captured in the army. It could only be said that in this battle, everyone underestimated the enemy and thought that 50,000 troops were enough. However, they did not expect Shen Qingzhou's martial arts to be so strange and Jicheng Army was too leisurely. They all felt that they were just going through the motions.

"This man is worthy of being the best in the world." Meng Zhi was somewhat convinced at this moment. Maybe the generals of Jicheng Army were not convinced and did not deploy their troops, so they were stunned. But no matter what, the five hundred figures and eighteen riders summoned by Shen Qingzhou made Meng Zhi convinced. Those eighteen figures were all masters.

"This martial art is too strange. Also, the flag shows the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Where does this army exist? It has never been included in my Langya Pavilion." Lin Chen said.

……

"Minister of War Li Lin was in collusion with the rebels. The correspondence has been verified. He has been imprisoned and awaits punishment."

Three days later, the war had become a hot topic among the people. They were saying that Shen Qingzhou had invited heavenly soldiers and generals from all over the world to defeat an army of 50,000 in one go. It could only be said that the rumor was exaggerated.

However, the generals of the Jicheng Army provided some letters and tokens. Without the participation of the Ministry of War, how could the army move easily?

In fact, there are some tokens related to Emperor Liang, but they cannot be spoken out. This is a tacit understanding.

Li Lin seemed to have aged a few years. He had never expected that he could not protect himself even though he was following the orders of His Majesty. How ridiculous.

In addition to him, there was also the assistant minister, and a large number of people were implicated. Rather than being an action of the Ministry of War, it was more of a counterattack by the powerful and wealthy in cooperation with Emperor Liang. It should have been foolproof, but who could have thought that this situation would occur.

However, he looked in one direction and said, Shen Zheng, you have acted too harshly. This time, your strength has been exposed. The other countries will not let go of this opportunity. They will not lay down their arms and surrender just because of your words.

……

royal palace.

"Did I do anything wrong? No, I didn't. This time, Shen Zheng, you personally made Daliang a piece of fat meat." Emperor Liang muttered to himself.

Prince Huai came to see him, and he also knew why Shen Zheng did not come. The 50,000-strong army was defeated. He wanted to laugh. Of course Prince Huai could not do anything to him. He was the emperor. However, except for Eunuch Gao, the people around him were completely replaced by a group of people from Concubine Hui.

Now, with the arrival of Jicheng Army, ordinary people are still unclear, but the powerful people already know that Emperor Liang and Prince Huai are now clearly two camps. However, now that Prince Huai controls the military command, no one can do anything.

With Li Lin's arrest, the Ministry of War was also brought under Shen Qingzhou's command. Apart from him, no one else could seamlessly take over the responsibilities of a department.

With the Ministry of War, some of his national policies can be implemented normally. Unless you are rebelling and don't take the court seriously, you should do as the court says.

He deployed troops and generals, and it was not a big problem for the prime minister to do this. As some things became clear, he no longer pretended, and all continents in the world began to imitate the changes in Tanzhou and Jinling.

He knew that there were certainly many challenges involved, but if he was given a year, he could overcome them all. Of course, if other countries really dared to take action and there was external pressure, he could subdue all the continents within half a year.

"Zhang Yuqing, I order you to take the Sky Net and the Golden Knife to Binzhou to inspect the new policies of this government."

"Yes." Zhang Yuqing was very happy. The Heavenly Net and the Golden Sword could exert great power. Unfortunately, they could not be used except at special moments, especially the latter. He had used it once and killed a group of bandits by himself.

The Golden Inverted Sword is activated by "The Golden Inverted Sword" and has been nurtured in the Jinling Prefecture Armory for a long time. The handle contains a piece of broken jade, which is enough for ten uses. Each time, it can emit eight sword auras with the power of the eighth level. Although Shen Qingzhou can create it at will, he will not let anyone use it casually.

Following orders, some of his trusted clansmen and officials from various departments went to various places in Daliang. Most of them were officials from ordinary families who he had recently promoted. Most of them were relatively young. The guards who protected them were all armed with powerful swords and a tight net.

As they traveled, reports from various places came in like raindrops, and Shen Qingzhou solved them one by one.

"The storm is coming." Mei Changsu has rarely appeared in public since the Jicheng army besieged the city. He seldom travels. Looking at Jinling, he feels depressed. It seems that Shen Qingzhou has won, but he knows that many people are waiting.

Nowadays, there are rumors throughout the world that Emperor Liang is under house arrest by powerful officials, and the countries in the world are already trying to take advantage of this opportunity to divide the meat.

The Crown Prince and Prince Yu have not appeared during this period. They were involved in the last incident, but there really were no traces left. The main reason was that they could not mobilize the Jicheng Army, so it was useless to say anything, but they were definitely the ones who passed the message.

southern border.

"Brother Shen, what are you thinking about? Don't you really care about the suffering of the people?"

She looked particularly sad. Although she had received news from Jinling some time ago, she did not openly break up with him. She and Shen Qingzhou were friends and she was unwilling to intervene.

That's right, what she received were some secret letters, including those from Emperor Liang, the Crown Prince, and Prince Yu, all asking her to serve the king and protect the emperor.

She believed that she was not the only one who received the news, but no one acted rashly and did not fall out with each other. Who knew what was going on in the court.

But after many days, she received a message from Mei Changsu, also known as Lin Shu. In addition to greetings, he also hoped that she would have time to go to Jinling to persuade Shen Zheng to avoid the suffering of the people. If this chaos continued without a clear emperor, something serious would happen.

(Is it cool?)
