Now the Cheng family is of little use to Zheng Ming.

However, this nail has been buried, and we cannot give up.

Yuhuatian didn't know what method to use to get the real Cheng Rufeng to surrender and join Jinyiwei. For this reason, Yuhuatian also specially asked Zheng Ming for a one-turn golden pill for Cheng Rufeng to use.

"Where's the Bei family? Is there any movement?" Zheng Ming nodded and asked again.

"There is no movement." Jinxian said.

Zheng Ming pinched his chin and became thoughtful.

With the intelligence collected by Xichang and Jinyiwei, the situation in the north of Dasheng became more and more obvious.

The royal family had already started to suppress the Bei family in all aspects, but the Bei family remained unmoved.

Could it be that the Bei family really intends to let others slaughter them?

Zheng Ming pondered for a moment, then said, "Tell Yu Huatian that he should keep an eye on the Bei family. I always feel that the Bei family is still hiding an unknown trump card."

It is impossible for a huge family to only have the strength on the surface, and how many means are hidden behind it.

Especially a big family like the Bei family that has been passed down for thousands of years must have a strong hole card.

Jinxian nodded and said, "My lord, there are a lot of spies on the island, do you want to clean it up?"

With the development of Qinglan Island, it will inevitably attract the attention of many forces.

Zheng Ming shook his head and said, "No need, keep them, we only do business now, and don't care about the rest."

Now the development of Qinglan Island is still mainly based on earning spirit stones. Even if they really want to do something, Qinglan Island can't stand in front of others.

……

Qinglan Island is developing in an orderly manner, but the situation in Dasheng is turbulent.

The monster riots in the Chiyuan Mountains in the west are still not over, and with the increase of Dasheng's troops, the monster riots are becoming more and more intense. Thousands of monsters often rush out of the mountains and attack Dasheng's city.

The Eastern Guixian Dao was also restless, and even intensified the chaos. Some time ago, it actually attacked a county town and wiped out two second-rank families.

As soon as this incident happened, the Dasheng government and the public were shaken, and the court immediately dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops to suppress Guixiandao.

Dasheng Kyoto, Yongsheng Palace.

Sheng Huang sat in front of the desk, his hair was combed very neatly without any mess, but the silver hairs were clearly visible in the black hair, the slightly sunken eye sockets, and a pair of deep eyes, full of power and domineering.

In front of him, stood a man with a dignified body and a dignified appearance. This man was the present prince.

Although the prince seems to be only in his 30s, he is actually more than 200 years old this year, and he has been on the throne for more than 100 years.

As the crown prince selected by the Sheng Huang, the crown prince is definitely not a mediocre person, both in terms of resourcefulness and cultivation, he is far beyond comparison.

"Do you think the Bei family will back down?" Sheng Huang asked without raising his head while looking at the memorial in his hand.

The prince looked solemn and said, "No."

"How to deal with it?" Sheng Huang asked again.

"Eradicate!" the prince said.

Sheng Huang raised his head, looked directly at him, and said: "The Bei family is deeply entrenched, and it is not an easy task to eradicate it completely."

The prince said calmly: "No matter how difficult it is, we must get rid of it. If we don't get rid of the Bei family, the Bei family will probably become my Dasheng's gravedigger."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Huang showed a gentle smile, and said, "I am very pleased that you have this determination."

"No matter how close the Bei family is to our royal family, as long as he threatens us, we must be eradicated."

"Even if they back down, we still can't stop until we get rid of them completely."

The threat has already arisen, perhaps the North family's concession can make Dasheng stable for a while, but as long as the Bei family still exists, it will still become a threat.

So for Sheng Huang, it is necessary to destroy the Bei family.

From the very beginning, he decided to let the Bei family disappear completely.

"However, the Bei family is very powerful. If you want to eradicate them, you can't be too hasty. You have to do it slowly." He said again.

The prince bowed his head, with some disapproval between his brows and eyes.

In his view, the Bei family should be eradicated in one fell swoop.

Although doing so will bring great turmoil to Dasheng, short-term pain is worse than long-term pain.

However, Sheng Huang always wanted to use gentle means to get rid of the threat of the Bei family, hoping to minimize the influence of the Bei family.

At this point, the prince's thoughts are not the same as his father.

But he couldn't refute Shenghuang either.

After all, Sheng Huang is not dead yet, and it is not his turn to be the master of the Dasheng Dynasty.

Sheng Huang also knew what the prince was thinking, but he didn't take it to heart.

He is very satisfied with all aspects of the prince. Although the prince is sometimes eager for success, in his opinion, this is not a problem.

"Take these back and deal with them. If you have any problems, you can come to the emperor again."

He handed a bunch of memorials to the prince.

The prince did not refuse, took the memorial, and bowed to leave.

Returning to the Prince's Mansion, the Prince was looking at the memorial given to him by Sheng Huang in his study.

"My minister pays homage to Your Highness!"

Yao Dingshan walked into the study and bowed to pay respects.

The prince looked up at him and said, "Dingshan, sit down."

Yao Dingshan cupped his hands and sat on the chair next to him.

The crown prince looked at the memorial in his hand, and his brows became more and more wrinkled. Yao Dingshan's face became a little more serious when he saw him like this.

It is definitely not a trivial matter that can make the prince so distressed.

"Look!" The crown prince handed him the memorial.

Yao Dingshan opened it and looked.

The monsters on the Chiyuan Mountains unexpectedly rioted again, and the scale of this riot actually reached [-].

"Have you not found out the reason for the monster riot?" Yao Dingshan also frowned.

The prince shook his head.

"None of the Yunxiaowei who entered the Chiyuan Mountains have returned, and the specific situation is still unclear."

Yao Dingshan's complexion became serious.

As the gathering place of the three major monsters in the Dasheng Dynasty, the Chiyuan Mountains would have riots almost every hundred years.

But this time, only 30 years have passed since the last monster riot broke out again, and the scale is bigger than ever.

The monster riot is not a trivial matter. If it cannot be suppressed as soon as possible, it will definitely affect the entire western part of Dasheng.

"How do you think it should be handled?" the prince asked.

Yao Dingshan pondered for a moment, and said: "Aside from sending troops to suppress, I have no other choice."

To deal with monster riots, there is no other way than to send troops to suppress them.

Those monsters without brains can't reason, and any strategy is useless in front of them.

"Send troops to suppress! There are no more troops in the west." The prince said in a deep voice.

The army of the Dasheng Dynasty followed the route of elite soldiers. The entire Dasheng Dynasty had a vast territory, but the army was actually less than 800 million.

800 million may seem like a lot, but scattered over a vast territory, it is actually very little.

Every army has its own responsibilities and reasons why it cannot be mobilized.

In addition to sending troops to suppress, the rest is to recruit the cultivation family.

However, the cultivating families in the west have already been recruited once, and if they are recruited again, they will have to be recruited from other places.

Chapter 3 and One: Jia Xu Offers Suggestions

"Your Highness, can you recruit the Bei Sheng Army from the Bei family?" Yao Dingshan asked.

The crown prince looked up at him, but shook his head and said: "Last time, the Bei family has recruited [-] troops. If the Bei family is recruited again, it will be unreasonable."

"Besides, the Bei Sheng Army is the Bei family's hole card, and they won't let it go easily."

Yao Dingshan pinched his brows in distress.

The matter became more and more troublesome.

If it was only the Chiyuan Mountains, Dasheng could have dispatched more troops, but the behemoth of the Beijia held back Dasheng's million-strong army.

This million-strong army can only be stationed in the north, in case of trouble in the north family, and dare not mobilize easily.

"In this way, we can only recruit the cultivating families in the south, or we can transfer some of the garrison troops." Yao Dingshan said helplessly.

There are ghosts and immortals in the east doing things, and the army must not be recruited at this time.

Only the south is relatively stable, and some can be recruited, but not too much.

The prince nodded slightly, without making a decision or refuting.

It is not up to him to decide on this matter, and Shenghuang needs to personally make the decision.

Afterwards, the two discussed some political matters, and Yao Dingshan resigned.

Leaving the Prince's Mansion, Yao Dingshan's frown has not been relaxed, even when playing chess with Cui Yuanchun, he still looks absent-minded.

Cuiyunfang, a gazebo by the lake.

Jia Xu looked at Yao Dingshan who was full of thoughts, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

It seemed his chance had come.

But this opportunity still needs an assist.

"Dingshan, why are you so distressed?" Cui Yuanchun's assist did not disappoint Jia Xu.

Yao Dingshan sighed softly, and said, "What else could it be, it's nothing more than the monsters from the Chiyuan Mountain Range."

"The riot in the Chiyuan Mountains hasn't been suppressed yet?" Cui Yuanchun looked surprised.

"No, and it's getting more and more fierce." Yao Dingshan threw the chess pieces on the board, and no longer wanted to play chess.

Cui Yuanchun looked puzzled, and said: "Since that's the case, just dispatch the army to suppress it, why bother?"

Then, Yao Dingshan didn't hide anything, and directly talked about the problems between the court and the Bei family.

It just so happened that he also wanted Cui Yuanchun to think of a way for him.

After Cui Yuanchun finished listening, his brows also frowned.

This matter is really troublesome.

A Bei family held back the million-strong army of the court and made the troops of the court tense. Otherwise, the Chiyuan mountain range would not have caused the crown prince and Yao Dingshan such distress.

Seeing that both of them were lost in thought, Jia Xu who was next to him asked, "Why don't you recruit recruits?"

"Recruitment?" Yao Dingshan looked up at him, shook his head slightly, and said, "Recruitment is easy, but training takes time."

"Military formations, equipment, etc., are not something ordinary practitioners can master in a short time."

When Jia Xu heard this, she couldn't help smiling.

Suddenly, he felt that Yao Dingshan's thinking was a little stiff, or that the system of the Dasheng Dynasty made Yao Dingshan fall into a thinking prison.

The imperial power does not go to the countryside.

Dasheng Chaotang not only does not go to the countryside, but even the county town.

The entire Dashenghuang's political system is managed to the prefecture level, and the counties and towns below are almost controlled by the cultivating family.

Under this system, the court is a bit out of touch with the folk, and many people in the court will ignore the power of the folk and only focus on the cultivating family.

In fact, the court and the royal family cannot be blamed for this. After all, in a world of cultivation, the strong are respected. Those ordinary people do not have great power and cannot affect the rule of the royal family and the court. It is normal for them to ignore it.

But it's fine to ignore it in normal times, but now facing the monster riots, Yao Dingshan still ignores the power of the people, which is a bit inappropriate.

In the final analysis, it is these high-ranking people who have no ordinary people in Dasheng in their hearts and eyes.
