Chapter 457 Status Quo
The soldiers in the south are about to rise, and the situation is urgent. Both the garrison and the garrison have begun to take action. The first step is to send experienced people with middle and low ranks to go to Haixia for training. Soldiers do assault training.
It is not too much to say "the situation is tense" in this case.
The impact on the common people has begun to appear. Basic items such as firewood, rice, oil and salt can best reflect the problem. This month, the price has risen again by nearly 10%. If grain merchants from all over the country raise their prices, it will be more than this "mere 10%".
And this is just the beginning. If there is a real fight, the price increase will not only be for firewood, rice, oil and salt, but also for everything, and you may not be able to buy it, because there may be restrictions.
Finally, there is the possibility of "expropriation", which is the most direct means of intervening in the lives of ordinary people. Generally not used, but the possibility cannot be ruled out. There is almost no lower limit and upper limit to the scope of requisition, from a thread to your life, all within this range.
So the common people do not want to fight. However, in a real fight, Guochao will still support Guochao to a large extent, because of the words "Jing Jiu Ren" on his body, he believes that Guochao will not start wars indiscriminately, and also believes that Guochao will be necessary for every battle, and even more believes that Guochao will lead Come win.
This is not being brainwashed, but that the old Jing Dynasty has been so tyrannical and strong for thousands of years. The common people do not want to fight but have never been afraid of fighting.
There are all kinds of people in the army. There are those who are eager to fight, so that they can make money and gain credit for their future. There are also those who don't want to fight, just want to spend their lives in peace and military pay. They are even more afraid of fighting, because fighting will kill people, and the first to die are pawns in the army like them. Anyway, I have a lot of ideas, but I can only say one sentence: destroy the barbarian bastards!
Then there is the civil servant group dominated by the localities, and there are also various ideas in it. There are those who support the war to raise the country's prestige; there are also those who oppose it;
There are also some people who are emotional. However, the reason for the excitement was not the military incident in the south itself, but a series of influences brought about by the military incident in the south. These talents don't care about military affairs, but only care about the situation. When military affairs happen, the situation will break the original appearance, and there will be various situations that will not appear when it is usually stable. As the saying goes: chaos. As long as there is chaos, you can fish in troubled waters and have various opportunities.
The purpose of the eldest prince coming to Jiang Cheng was to ask Jiang Cheng to get the few people he had placed in the yamen of Jingxi Governor to go to the south.
How good is the south? The situation is on the verge of breaking out, and if something really happens, it will definitely be the top priority for decades. Of course, it is a good thing for someone to share the credit there. If not, then find a way to transfer it.
Why didn't the eldest prince go to Zuo Yuliang, the military director of the frontier army?
Zuo Yuliang also needs to save face. The Marshal of Border Town dares to meet the prince in private? Are you full enough? Don't talk about seeing you, it's considered stupid for people to care about you.
As for the more recent Jingnan Governor's Yamen, why don't you go find it? It's not that no one is there. Besides, the Fushi Yamen of Jingxi Township has been the most popular place in Xuanqing Guard recently. It has been making big moves and has handled many important cases, which is highly regarded by the commander Pang Ban.
Wasn't the case of Xu Hong, the army officer in front of him, led by the Yamen of Jingxi Town Fushi? And recently I heard that the Jingxi Army and the Jingxi Garrison are also transferring people to the south. As long as Jiang Cheng, the governor of Jingxi, is willing to help, and get a few people to work as supervisors in the Jingxi Army, it will not be the same to go to the south. ?
This is what the eldest prince thinks. As for Jiang Cheng, he was full of displeasure in his heart, and declined repeatedly. In the end, the eldest prince's face was very ugly, and he almost stared at him several times before leaving. "If you dare not give me face, just wait and see!" The meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Jiang Cheng was annoyed, these princes really couldn't be idle now, and they were showing favor and wooing all kinds of people with power unscrupulously. In Jiang Cheng's view, this is "energy storage".
There is only so much power in the Jingjiu Dynasty. The seven princes use their own abilities to gather and strengthen their own power. When everyone divides it up, or when the time comes, they will each use the accumulated power to head-to-head.
Is it time for another Li Chu drama?
Even in Jiang Cheng's view, it is possible to seize the heir apparent. Jiang Cheng felt bad about who made the eldest prince smell good all over his body, and he couldn't accept such a person to inherit the throne.
In fact, King Jing was not the only prince who came to Jiang Cheng during this period of time. The second prince, Gan Wang Yangye, and the fifth prince, Shouwang Yang Lin, all came to him, but the eldest prince was the most direct in his words. It's just a test. Not too forced.
Xuan Qingwei logically said that the emperor's personal soldiers would only and could only be loyal to the reigning emperor. Even after the crown prince was established, the crown prince would not be able to enjoy Xuan Qingwei's allegiance. But people are different, and they may not always be able to withstand the temptation, especially those who are eager to steal, and they always want to get some benefits in advance. Such people are not absent in Xuanqingwei. As far as Jiang Cheng knew, there were people in Sifang Zhenfu envoy who were flirting with several princes.
Jiang Cheng didn't think too much, his mind was on Pang Ban, and he would do whatever Pang Ban did. Except for the new emperor's enthronement, he will not stand in another team.
It was already noon when Shen Hao came out of the Zhen Fushi Yamen, originally he wanted to find a place to eat after returning to Fengri City, but when he walked near the teleportation circle, he smelled that fragrance again.
The smell brought back Shen Hao's memory. It was the smell of salt and pepper chicken. He had looked for this smell in the imperial city before and found something to eat. It tasted very good.
Forget it, I won't go back to Fengri City, I will eat chicken today.
After calling out to the guards around him, Shen Hao followed the route he remembered to find the small restaurant again.
The name of this restaurant is easy to remember, it is called: You can't lose money.
The shop waiter was still the same fat man, he greeted Shen Hao with a smile, and asked familiarly what he wanted to eat, as if he still remembered Shen Hao.
"Do you remember me?"
"Remember! You are Xuan Qingwei's uncle, and you brought a pot of delicious wine with you when you came last time. Hehe, how could you forget? You still eat salt and pepper chicken today?"
Seeing that the waiter in this shop really remembered himself, Shen Hao smiled a little, raised his hand and ordered five. He ate one for himself, ordered the other four for the guards, and some side dishes for dinner.
Because the store is small, except for one table that was vacant, the other two tables were occupied. Shen Hao asked the guards to sit together, but the guards didn't dare, saying that it would be fine to eat outside the door. Shen Hao gave up after shouting three times and no one moved. Knowing that even his guards are now deeply affected by the "evil star" on his head and are more afraid of him.
When the salt and pepper chicken came up, Shen Hao just tore off a chicken wing and was about to put it in his mouth when he heard someone shouting at him.
"Hey! You finally showed up again!"
