The demon world I designed.

Chapter 210 Chen Qing's Harm
The quarrel in the south of the Yangtze River was already raging when Wang Ye entered Beijing about a year ago.
A year ago, Wang Shaoqing returned to Beijing from Jiangnan and brought a news that shocked the court. The eldest princess Xiao Mingyue colluded with demons to rebel, and all 30 Golden Dragon Guards were refined into demon corpses. It has been a year since Chen Qing organized the militia to resist and reluctantly confronted His Royal Highness the Princess in the south of the Yangtze River!
At this time, the great dynasty is about to start, and the civil servants and nine ministers are now waiting outside Suzaku's gate, waiting to be summoned.

A group of top warlocks, civil servants and family lords didn't look very good, discussing something from time to time.

In fact, since the news of Jiangnan came out a year ago, this year, the faces of the civil and military ministers have not looked good!
This year was really a bad year for the Jin court!
The Duke of Wei in the north is very powerful, and I don't know what tricks he tried, so that the four princes who guarded the important towns in the northern border joined his camp. In just three months, all the 30 bloodline children in the northern border were rebels, less than half a year. It occupies the entire northern region!

However, due to the shortage of troops, the many princes sent by the imperial court could only barely guard Liaobei by fortifying the walls and clearing the fields. They have asked the imperial court for reinforcements many times in the past six months.

But where does the imperial court still have soldiers?

Regarding the Jiangnan incident, there were many top ministers who recommended Her Royal Highness the Princess to lead the army. Now when the issue of responsibility is mentioned, everyone is dumbfounded.

30 Golden Dragon Guards is almost the largest force that the capital can unleash. With the addition of Qin Guogong's sons, even though the Great Jin Dynasty is a rising and powerful dynasty, its vitality will be seriously injured at this time!

The south of the Yangtze River has been hit hard, and there has been a lot of turmoil deliberately in Yundu in the past few months. As a result, the Duke of Chu and the Feilongwei, the most capable fighter in Dajin, dare not move lightly. The imperial court is now guarding the capital. Less than [-], where is there any extra military force to support the north?
"Lin Shangshu!" It was Yang Shilang from the Ministry of Rites who spoke beside him: "The matter in the south of the Yangtze River cannot be delayed any longer!"

The faces of all civil servants became dignified because of this sentence.

A year ago, Wang Ye, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, came back to his mission and brought news that shocked the government and the public. However, because the eldest princess has not made any further moves, it is also difficult for Jiangnan to obtain information because of the lingering relationship. In addition, some big families The entanglement with Jiangnan's interests has caused Jiangnan's affairs to be delayed until today.

But now it's getting harder and harder.

Half a year ago, maritime merchants began to appear in the south of the Yangtze River. It is said that most of them were subordinates of Chen Qing from Liuzhou. At that time, in order to collect intelligence on the south of the Yangtze River, the imperial court deliberately indulged them at the beginning.

But once the hole was opened, it was hard to stop it!

It's just because the goods produced in Jiangnan are too popular!

First of all, the silk from Jiangnan, in terms of quality, pattern, color and texture, is far superior to silk from all over the world. In the past, the silk produced in Yunzhou has dominated Jiangnan for many years, but now, the silk in Yunzhou, the capital city, is almost suppressed to the point where it cannot be sold.

Not to mention the hard currency such as top tea and wine produced in Jiangnan!

That's what the major restaurants and teahouses are fighting for now. In the capital, if any restaurant doesn't have a fixed channel for drinking and tea from the south of the Yangtze River, it will face the dilemma of being unable to open!

The fruit wine and soy sauce wine produced in the south of the Yangtze River are directly crushed in the market. Anyone who has drunk Jiangnan wine once is extremely sought after, especially some wealthy families, there are many existences who are willing to buy wine with thousands of dollars , Nowadays, in major restaurants, high-end banquets are held, if you can't get some Jiangnan drinks, you won't be able to get on the stage at all!
This is especially true for tea. Since Jiangnan tea entered Beijing, it has formed a tendency to crush tea from any origin. In the current market, the price of one or two Jiangnan tea has been fired up to [-] gold. It is really precious. It is already the first choice for gift giving on various occasions!
Not to mention some well-crafted pocket watches that can tell the time and are exquisitely made. Nowadays, if the master of a wealthy family doesn’t have one of those, he would be ashamed to go out!
Who wouldn't be jealous of such a top business opportunity?
In order to seek a stable supply of goods, now all the merchants from Jiangnan are sought-after. Many shopkeepers from top aristocratic families are wooing and making friends, inquiring about news, and preparing to enter the major industries in Jiangnan.

But the more I inquired, the more news I found out, the more frightened many wealthy families were!
The mountain god distributes the land?

Vigorously promote engineering?

Land cannot be sold?

The government and the gentry pay the food together?
What a deviant! !

As a result, various voices of crusade against Chen Qing appeared in the court in an instant, and the momentum was even louder than those in the north!
You know, the northern side is openly rebelling. Although Chen Qing is mercenary privately, at least she is submitting to the imperial court on the surface, and is still resisting the rebellion for the imperial court.

However, there was a lot of outrage, and almost every time they went to court, many officials condemned Chen Qing, especially after some originally concealed news was exposed, not only the court, but even the people raised a wave of protests against Chen Qing, and the main condemnation was Scholars from major academies, they represent the voice of the people!
Especially the last time, including the largest Bailu Academy in the capital city, tens of thousands of students from the entire capital city gathered to strike, and the matter has reached a point where the court cannot ignore it.

Hearing Yang Shilang's words, several ministers frowned!
Yang Shilang is not young, although he is still a servant, his reputation in the Confucianism is very high, otherwise His Majesty would not have included the Yang family in the list of crown princesses.

Yang Shilang's words almost represented the voice of Confucian scholars.

The Warlock family has a special status in the Jin Dynasty. They compete with the family, but in terms of camp, they belong to the civil servant camp.

Although in private, the status of warlock officials is far higher than that of ordinary officials, but this status is obtained after the literati attached themselves. Apart from the former warlock dynasty, the warlock family also has the highest status in Dajin.

On weekdays, the group of civil servants all look forward to Jiuqing's leadership, because the warlock family can support their literati in the competition with military generals, but now, Shilin almost collectively denounces Chen Qing, which also forces Jiuqing. Sound important!

Although they know very well that the current situation in the imperial court is not good enough to split their forces to attack Chen Qing.
"Your servant, don't worry, the imperial court will not let Chen Qing mess around!" The Minister of Rites hurriedly comforted the other party's emotions.

"But what Chen Qing is doing now is digging the foundation of our Great Jin Dynasty. The court has not acted for a long time. I am waiting for Shilin, and I feel disappointed!" Yang Shilang said angrily: "Then Chen Qing has already won over the king by using business interests. There are quite a few Xiao Xiao families who are willing to contribute to it, if this continues, Chen Qing's power will further expand, and the country will be destroyed!"

These words were righteous and dignified, but Jiuqing's ears were a little harsh.

Those commodities in the south of the Yangtze River are too expensive. Even if they are purchased with a lot of money, the second hype will be a huge profit. Such profits are naturally seized by the warlock family and the first family of the blood family. Many ordinary Shilin families can't even drink soup. It can only act as a victim of consumption.

The Xiaoxiao family that Yang Shilang was talking about, wasn't that the same as them?
If it wasn't for the special status of the other party, Shang Shu would have been ready to mock him a few words.

"Master Shi Lang." The Minister of Rites sighed: "You all know the current situation. The court is short of soldiers and the war in the north is tight. How can the court allocate troops to attack Chen Qing?"

"Master Shangshu's words are wrong!" Yang Shilang seldom directly refuted the other party's words, and said in a deep voice: "Chen Qing's wolf ambition, if left unattended, the harm will never be less than that of the north. We have found evidence that Chen Qing not only The way of evil spirits in the south of the Yangtze River is flourishing, bewitching the people, and now they are supporting the enemy in the north, if you don't take action, there will be endless disasters!"

"Enemy?" The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment next to him frowned: "Why did the servant make such a statement?"

To be honest, what Chen Qing did did not comply with the rules, but whether it is a rebellion or not, the court has not yet determined. After all, many of his things are reasonable and compliant. When he went to Liuzhou to work, the temporary recruitment right was given by the Jiangnan chief envoy , At that time, it was reported to the imperial court, and the imperial court issued the official seal with permission.

Then there was a catastrophe in the south of the Yangtze River. As the magistrate of Liuzhou, Chen Qing had the responsibility to guard the land, so it was reasonable to recruit militias to resist.

As for relying on the militia to fight against Her Royal Highness, everyone knows it's bullshit, but at least they are loyal to the court on the surface.

With this excuse, the higher-ups can at least suppress the lower-level voices calling for conquest of Chen Qing many times.

But the hat of Zidi is a bit too big.

"This is nonsense." Yang Shilang quickly took out the memorial and said, "The officials in the north have been collecting evidence for many days. Those merchants under Chen Qing collected a large number of Yin wood for shipbuilding and horses in the north. These are all strategic resources, what does Chen Qing want to do?"

"This..." Minister of the Ministry of Justice frowned: "It's not considered an enemy, is it? Chen Qing is facing pressure from both Xihai and Princess Chang's rebellion. It's normal to need to arm the soldiers, as well as the horses. Chen Qing trained the cavalry for the court."

"But where did he get the horses?" Yang Shilang said quietly: "The two largest horse farms in the north are now occupied by Wei Guogong. According to the information, Chen Qing transported more than [-] horses back to Liuzhou this time, and many of them have blood. Dragon horses and elephant horses that can only be bred!"

Everyone: "."

"According to the report from the officials in the north, the rebel army was short of food, but suddenly many grain merchants appeared in the south of the Yangtze River and sold a lot of food to Wei Guogong. If you have monopolized horses, isn’t this capitalism and what is it?”

"This"
