Chapter 290 What is the King of Changlin?
above the hall.

"The East China Sea is isolated and difficult to attack. Besides, Daliang does not have a sea map, so it may be difficult to attack."

"It's not easy to do it, but we have to do it. Many dignitaries and royal descendants from Dayu, Beiyan, Yeqin, and Nanchu have gathered in the East China Sea with their huge wealth, eyeing Daliang covetously. The East China Sea navy has also attacked the ten continents of the East China Sea. To support them is a provocation to us."

"But Daliang has just pacified the world. It takes time to build the large ships and warships for the expedition to the East China Sea. In addition, the remnants of various countries are unwilling to accept Daliang and have attacked our shipbuilding factories, which has hindered the progress."

Daliang can be said to have unified the world. Although it takes a long time to govern, compared to the East China Sea, it can be done slowly.

Everyone has a foundation. It is impossible that if you destroy a country, the other side will have no supporters. When the royal families of various countries are not besieged, someone will secretly send out fire seeds. When they are at a disadvantage, everyone will run away.

Nowadays, many people have fled to the East China Sea with huge wealth, isolated overseas. You can defeat him, but it is too difficult to reach his lair.

Even though the Ministry of Industry is working hard to build ships, the East China Sea is constantly harassing them, and coupled with various attacks from the remnants of various countries, the progress of shipyards, large and small, is very slow. Originally, they were inferior to the East China Sea in this regard, and now, the gap is huge.

Donghai also spared no effort. As Daliang unified the world, Donghai knew that they could no longer compare with Daliang. However, in order to ensure that they would not be unified, they still fought hard. Now, they have won another victory.

"The only way out now is for Jinling to surpass Donghai again. Otherwise, Donghai can attack or defend, and there is nothing we can do to them for a while."

"This is the only solution now."

Listening to the ministers' quarrel, Shen Qingzhou didn't take it to heart at all. Now, all the ministers in the court were testing him, wanting to know the secret of Jinling's rise.

They all have too strong a sense of crisis. In the affairs of the East China Sea, not only the East China Sea but also many other powerful people are involved. Many people in the court are definitely involved, because everyone knows that only as long as there are opponents, certain punishments will not befall them.

Especially now that public opinion in Daliang has risen, the conquered surrounding countries have all received land distribution, but why hasn't Daliang received any yet? This has made the powerful and wealthy panic.

Shen Qingzhou was used to walking in Jinling City, and people would ask him questions from time to time on the road. To the officials, Shen Qingzhou was very scary, but to ordinary people, especially those who had not committed any crime, Shen Qingzhou was very kind.

The fact that Jinling can fly has now become a mythical thing, and Shen Qingzhou is the one sent by God to save the common people.

It's funny to say that even though everyone wanted to know how Shen Qingzhou did it, they just didn't dare to ask, they just tried to test him.

Shen Qingzhou could easily destroy the East China Sea, but now the East China Sea has become the last resort for the powerful in the world. If he deals with the East China Sea, he will be dealing with them.

"At this time, let us discuss the triumphant return of the commanders. As for the matter of the East China Sea, we can put it aside for the time being." Shen Qingzhou said this, and the entire court immediately quieted down.

Even if he does not have the military power to dominate the world, his ability in governance, his skills in power struggle, and his use of all kinds of fair rules to defeat his opponents make him unrivaled in the world today. Many people know that if he rebels, most people in the world will support him, especially the people of Daliang.

The people of Daliang know why they don't want to divide the land. Other countries divided the land because the country was destroyed and the powerful were killed. It was the distribution of resources by the victors. But now, Daliang has not collapsed, and there is no suitable reason, so how can they divide the land?

The various armies are about to return, bringing with them the nobles captured from various countries. They all have made contributions. Daliang has arranged a ceremony. Logically, the time of return should be different, but in order to avoid waste of money and manpower, everyone returns together. Nanchu was also defeated. The reason why the East China Sea was mentioned this time was that when they were meeting the nobles of Nanchu, the East China Sea attacked and protected them for evacuation.

Nihuang's army had no time to deal with the East China Sea. After conquering Nan Chu, they still had to suppress the local people.

……

More than fifty miles outside Jinling City, Nihuang looked at the roads that could be seen everywhere and was full of admiration for Shen Qingzhou. On the basis of ensuring the logistics of various armies, the basic construction was not neglected. The last time she left, the road was at most ten miles away from Jinling City, but now, it has been expanded by at least several hundred kilometers.

Continuing forward, getting closer and closer, he saw the officials. The most important one was Shen Qingzhou, who was at the front of the officials. It was normal for the triumphant army to go out of the city thirty miles to greet them. There was no opponent anymore.

"Princess, you have had a hard journey." Shen Qingzhou did not say much. He brought all the officials here to show his attitude.

Huai Wang Xiao Jingli and Nie Feng also returned with their men, and with a large number of carriages and people, all of whom were dignitaries from various countries. Even if they were captured, they would not be treated like ordinary prisoners.

"Your Highness." Shen Qingzhou treated Xiao Jingli the same way.

"Lord Shen." Xiao Jingli seemed to have become a different person now. Although he had the plug-in of Shen Qingzhou, he was the commander-in-chief. He destroyed Dayu, so his mentality must be different. Now, no one dared to say that he was incompetent, even if he was not very strong.

Prince Jing has returned to Jinling, and so has Mei Changsu. They met once, but they just looked at each other in confusion. Both of them knew that the possibility of Prince Jing ascending to the throne had completely disappeared.

Don't mention what Shen Qingzhou thinks. He just has no intention of rebelling. He allows the royal family to continue to control the world. Now, in the whole Daliang, the only one who can ascend to the throne is Xiao Jingli, which is recognized.

In fact, many people were hoping that Shen Qingzhou would become the emperor, and they had initially attacked him, but now they are helping him. Everyone knows that the land distribution and various national policies were proposed by him, and everyone thinks they are very good. They are all afraid of what will happen if he steps down and things return to the previous state.

……

In the court, Emperor Liang sat on the throne, Xiao Jingli stood beside him, and the Crown Prince and Prince Yu went down one step.

After returning to Jinling, Emperor Liang also attended court for the first time. The matter was done, and he believed that he would not be irrational. Looking at the officials, Emperor Liang was at a loss. There were many familiar people, but there were even more people he didn't know. There had been too many changes of blood in this court.

"Under the command of Shen Zheng, you all sent troops from various directions to bring peace to the world that has not been seen for a long time. You all have made great contributions." Then it was time to reward them for their merits.

When Nie Feng looked at Emperor Liang, he immediately thought of the Chiyan Army, but when he saw Shen Qingzhou, he endured it again. It seemed that the Chiyan case would soon come to an end.

He admired Shen Qingzhou very much. The Tiangang Disha Orders that the other party gave him were of great help. It can even be said that without those tokens, it would be amazing for him to be able to defeat an entire country with one army, let alone directly capture the other party's royal family.

Listening to the rewards one by one, after defeating Northern Yan, Nie Feng was conferred the title of first-rank duke. However, it was still too difficult to become a king, mainly because he had connections above him and a title. Princess Nihuang herself was a first-rank military marquis, so this time, she was directly conferred the title of king.

This is the first queen in the world. She is considered to have jumped out of Prince Mu’s Mansion. There are two princes in the Mu family, and the other one is Xiao Jingli, who was directly named Prince Qizhu.

The most important thing is that although he did not go to the battlefield, everyone knows that Shen Qingzhou, who made the greatest contribution, was named the King of the Same Type. This title is not given for nothing, it means sharing the world with you. Of course, under normal circumstances, the person who obtains this throne is very low-key and will not take it seriously, but when it is conferred to Shen Zheng, it is really hoped that he can keep it.

Today, he is the de facto ruler of the world and has the most powerful military force in the world. He is the person that people all over the world most hope to be the emperor. Although his opponents are very strong, they are all suppressed.

This was more of a surrender than a reward from Emperor Liang, just to ensure that the emperor's rights were not taken away. It is easier to go down than to go up.

"For his fairness and great contributions, Shen Zheng is specially appointed as the King of One Word and One Shoulder, the Chief Minister of the Cabinet, and the commander of court officials." Eunuch Gao was also reading the imperial edict that he had not seen for a long time. In addition to the King of One Word and One Shoulder, the cabinet was also formalized.

Shen Qingzhou did not interfere with the reward, but no one dared to ignore him.

"I obey your order." Shen Qingzhou looked at the imperial edict. Forget it, let's have a peaceful evolution. He looked at Xiao Jingli. He still had to push him.

Shen Qingzhou did not want to be the emperor, he wanted to be a mascot of the royal family and slowly strip away the imperial power, just like Ying. He wanted to be talented, but he also wanted to keep the system going. Let's do it this way for now, until the last remnants are dealt with.

No one thought it was wrong for Shen Qingzhou to become the King of One Word, and everyone acknowledged his contribution.

"If nothing else, dismiss the court." Emperor Liang stood straight, but he could no longer suppress his inner anger. Many ministers also left Jinling City in carriages.

"Is this his deterrent power? People don't even dare to live in Jinling City, fearing that they won't know where they are when they open their eyes?" Nihuang said to Mei Changsu while standing on the city wall where Shen Qingzhou often stood.

"Everyone knows that Lord Shen hates evil, so it's normal to have some taboos."

"If we really catch them, they won't be able to escape."

"He can't escape. Now that the world is unified, he can free up his hands to deal with the powerful." Mei Changsu said. "What do you know?" Nihuang asked.

"I don't know anything, but according to the information from my brothers in the alliance, there is now an anti-Zheng alliance. Forces are gathering everywhere to oppose Shen Zheng. There is more than one black hand behind it. Even many of the powerful people in Daliang are among them. He must know about this, ahem."

"Brother Lin Shu, let's go back." Nihuang knew that Mei Changsu was in poor health and the expedition had consumed a lot of his energy, but because he had the upper hand, he was not as dedicated as before.

……

"Lord Shen." In the Ministry of War, Shen Qingzhou was convening the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War to discuss matters. The senior generals and commanders had already been rewarded, but there were still lower-level officers and soldiers who needed rewards.

War is about plundering and it will also result in casualties. The freed-up resources will be rewards, and Shen Qingzhou has been preparing for this for a long time.

It was also a node inside the beam that he pried open. When checking the land, some of them were hidden. That was the reward this time. In order to avoid internal fighting, he had to go slow.

Intentionally or unintentionally, he temporarily ignored the imprisoned dignitaries and royal families of various countries, finished his day's work, and looked at where those people were.

The strongest place is also the weakest place. If they want to kill him, it may be best to do so inside the city. Ever since he drove away from Jinling City, many people were afraid that he would attack directly with the city.

The next two months were the period of rewards and honors, and great changes took place in the world. Rebellions in various places were suppressed, and everyone had time to spare.

"Master, Shen Sanyang has personally arrived in Jiangzuo. The Shuangsha Gang has been disbanded. The brothers are asking what to do. Although Shen Sanyang has never taken action against our Jiangzuo League, he simply has no excuse. We even sent troops to the southern border, and this is how Shen Zheng repays us." Mei Changsu received the information from the Jiangzuo League. In fact, he had anticipated some things.

Shen Qingzhou's action to eliminate the Jianghu forces has begun. The Jiangzuo League is now under the control of Mei Changsu, but what if one day it can no longer be controlled? In essence, it is to eliminate unstable factors, which is similar to what Emperor Liang did, except that Shen Qingzhou will not be wronged. If Mei Changsu is sensible, he can just disband it himself.

The Jiangzuo League has a good reputation nowadays, but can you guarantee that everyone will not bully others?

"Retreat temporarily." Mei Changsu's order made people helpless, but although he was filled with righteous indignation, he knew that the whole world had been pacified. The Jiangzuo League was indeed powerful, but there was still a big gap compared to the whole world.

Moreover, Shen Qingzhou is the certified smartest man in the world. On the current Langya list, he is the first on the master list and the first on the young master list. Mei Changsu has been squeezed to second place by him. Shen Qingzhou's way of proving himself is too harsh.

Nowadays, even the Langya Mountain, which is on the list, is crumbling under his pressure. If there is a competitor, most countries dare not offend Langya Mountain. There is too much information. If you attack, I will just leave and give your information to other countries later, making your weaknesses known to the world.

But it's completely useless for Shen Qingzhou. Daliang has basically no opponents now. They just want to use public opinion. They know a lot of shameful information about the powerful and wealthy, and Shen Qingzhou might be happier if they release it.

As for Shen Zheng himself, he is impeccable. The biggest stain on him from childhood to adulthood is that he failed to pursue girls. This kind of person is a bit too scary.

Another one is buying an official position, but this rumor has been circulating for a long time. According to the people of the world, in order to reach a higher position and do better things, there are some things that cannot be avoided.

Nihuang and others did not return to the southern border. Now, except for the East China Sea, there is probably no need to guard it. The countries have been defeated and the people are loyal to Shen Qingzhou. What else can they do?

"General Nie, I already know why you are here. Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for the Chiyan case." One day, Nie Feng found Shen Qingzhou hesitantly and said nothing. Shen Qingzhou naturally knew what he knew.

"Your Majesty's words are as good as gold." Nie Feng said immediately. He trusted Shen Qingzhou very much.

"There is one more thing. Forget it. You go find the princess. She knows some of the truth about the Red Flame case. There is some good news for you. If she doesn't admit it, just say you want to find someone with the same illness as you." Shen Qingzhou felt that he could recognize Mei Changsu. It was going to happen soon. Nie Feng didn't know about Mei Changsu yet because he had been fighting wars for the past two years.

"That's what he told you. What else did he say? The same disease, fire and cold poison?" Nihuang was also a little surprised. Was Brother Lin Shu's identity exposed?

However, after witnessing the other party driving Jinling City with my own eyes, it seemed that knowing all this was not a difficult thing to accept.

At the Su Mansion, on this day, Prince Nie Feng of the Swift Wind burst into tears, he never thought that he would be able to see the Young Marshal again. Nihuang also had a dazed look in her eyes, she knew that Lin Shu was suffering, but she never expected that he would not live for more than a few years. This is when Lin Chen explains to everyone the solution to the fire and cold poison.

"No, General Nie didn't rub his skin or cut his bones. Logically, the root of his tongue should be stiff and he can't make any sound. You are no different from ordinary people."

"I don't know either." Nie Feng certainly didn't know. He had slowly learned to speak over the past two years.

"Could it be that he can cure the fire and cold poison, Brother Lin Shu?"

"It's useless. Strictly speaking, I don't have the fire and cold poison at the moment." Mei Changsu's words made everyone sober. Yes, he was no longer poisoned, he was just weak. Lin Chen wanted to say something, but he didn't say it. In fact, there were still toxins in Mei Changsu's blood. In essence, his treatment method was blood transfusion, but Mei Changsu himself was unwilling to do so. The price of his survival would be the death of many people.

……

"Lord Shen, you should be rewarded, but dividing the land is not right. When we were conquering the world, it was ok to divide the land of other countries, but now, it is not right to divide the land of my own people." Everyone was bound to speak on the issue of land division, but it was of no use.

"These are all unowned lands, so how can you divide our people? Be careful with your words." You dare to talk about annexing land.

In the court, everyone had mixed feelings.

half year later.

"The powerful people of various countries have jointly submitted a letter of surrender." Shen Qingzhou looked at a group of people who had been ignored for a long time making trouble, and his heart was calm. It was coming. Emperor Liang was going to host a banquet for the powerful people. On the surface, it was to accept the letter, but there should be something else.

Even though their countries were destroyed, they refused to surrender and still existed in name. For some reason, Daliang did not deal with them.

"This matter is aimed at Shen Zheng." Mei Changsu said after knowing this.

"He must have known it, but he didn't say anything. Maybe he was sure of it."

"The situation is getting worse and worse. Now Daliang has also started land reform. If we don't take action now, our chances will get smaller and smaller in the future."

The surrender of various countries was a big event, and Jinling City was particularly lively during this period. Nowadays, Jinling City has become the center of the world. Jinling City is also expanding and has started to have an outer city.

……

On this day, the day of presenting the letter of credence, dignitaries from various countries came, as well as some invited people, and Mei Changsu was among them.

"Mr. Su."

"Lord Shen, I have something to ask you." Mei Changsu knew that his identity was exposed, but he was not afraid.

"please say."

"My disciple also joined the army and made many military achievements, but he was not included in the reward this time. Do you know why?" Mei Changsu knew that Shen Qingzhou was definitely not targeting him intentionally, and he was also testing him.

"He has an extraordinary background, and he will definitely gain something after reversing the case."

"Overturn the verdict."

"Yes, Prince Qi's old case. Xiao Tingsheng, please don't humiliate the reputation of Prince Changlin."

"What King of Changlin?" Mei Changsu watched Shen Qingzhou leave, thinking in his heart, what on earth was he talking about? It was definitely impossible that he was talking nonsense.

(Usually it’s stolen proof. When I get it back, I’ll give you a few hundred free words as an apology. Sorry)
