The demon world I designed.

Chapter 775: Storm in the Capital ()

The second day after the opening of the temple was the court meeting. Although the emperor left the capital, the court meeting could not be interrupted. After all, the court still had to operate and many things had to be dealt with, especially now that the army was out and there was a lot of food and grass supplies and internal adjustments. All matters require various discussions.

The New Year will be in three days. According to the original rules of the Jin Dynasty, the ministers will have a full month of rest at home during the New Year. Before then, it is natural to arrange the general things properly so that everyone can celebrate the New Year in peace, right? ?

At this time, in the main hall, the former Jiuqing had changed. The Warlock family had almost completely withdrawn from the power circle in the capital. Now it can be said that the martial arts family is the dominant one. Even the Minister of the Ministry of War is no longer a civil servant, but a civil servant. The Duke of Yue, Shen Mao, who was a military general, took up this position, which was rare in previous dynasties. This shows that the emperor was determined to attach great importance to military affairs and not to civil affairs.

Wei Gongxing was lucky enough to participate in this conference. In fact, according to normal rules, a bastard like him from a subordinate family would probably never be qualified to enter the main hall of the meeting. But it was different now. The number one ghost general under King Xiang suddenly came. With this identity , making Wei Gongxing's current status even higher than some of the princes in the hall.

The appearance of such a character made the entire court situation a bit strange. According to Yin Ling's seniority and status, everyone should salute Wei Gongxing, and even the first position should be given to him.

However, Wei Gongxing was also considered low-key. Although he was given the first position, he basically didn't speak much during the whole process, which also made the civil and military ministers relax a little.

The eyes of the disciples waiting outside the hall almost flew out of their heads because of jealousy. Just a few days ago, the boy from the Wei family was a soldier who led horses for most people, but now he can actually make the Three Gongjiu... Your Majesty bowed to him and sat at the head of the court. Is this still justified?

That's not how luck works, right?

But no matter how jealous or dissatisfied they were, they didn't dare to do anything. The status of top ghosts was extraordinary. If they dared to be disrespectful, the martial souls in their bodies would eat them alive without even waiting for outsiders to take action.

At this time, arrangements for the new generation of people were being discussed in the hall.

"you"

"Five thousand people? You dare to speak." The Duke of Yan next to him snorted coldly: "This time the Wuhun blessing will only be more than 6,000 people. If you open your mouth, 90 people will leave, leaving us to grab soup. right?"

"This is uncertain. If something happens, will your Lordship be responsible?"

"What kind of security problem can there be in the Martial Arts Temple? With the current situation, who would dare to offend the Martial Arts Temple without being wise?"

The one that is more difficult to arrange now is Wei Gongxing. As a top ghost general, it seems unreasonable not to give him a position, but what to give him is a problem. After all, good positions are now a carrot and a pit. Who is willing to give up? come out?

"Let's talk about the city defense arrangements first." The British Duke coughed lightly: "The number of the Forbidden Army will definitely increase. Among the new candidates, the number of our Forbidden Army must be supplemented. I hope that another 5,000 people can be transferred to the Forbidden Army. Team.”

"The Forbidden Army is the face of the Imperial City. The last reduction was forced. Now that we have added more people, we should focus on this. What's the problem?"

Nowadays, the capital is in urgent need of manpower. In order to win the Northern Expedition, most of the elite troops have been transferred to the Northern Expedition. The imperial army guarding the capital has been reduced to one-third, not to mention city defense.

"Okay." Shen Mao, the Duke of Yue State, the Minister of War at the side, looked like he had a headache. When His Majesty was here, these two guys liked to fight for each other. It's still like this now. Both of them are short of people now, and they both want to control more people. This He understood a little bit, but the juniors were still outside. What did it look like when two princes were openly robbing people inside?

"This time, the newcomers don't matter whether they are from the Martial Temple or the Forbidden Army!"

As soon as these words came out, the two princes were stunned, and the other princes were also stunned and looked over in astonishment.

"Of course there is a problem." Yan Guogong said coldly: "The Martial Arts Temple is in urgent need of manpower. According to the previously scheduled scale, the three major Martial Arts Temples need at least 3,000 elites to take turns to defend themselves. They will all go to your forbidden army. Will our Martial Temple be divided?" Those hundreds of people?”

The old guy named Duke of Yue, the Minister of War, does not have the right to command troops. Is it possible that he also wants to rob people?

"What do you mean?" the grumpy British Duke said angrily: "If it doesn't belong to our two offices, how about it belongs to the Ministry of War?"

"What does the Ministry of War want so many people for?" The other party rolled his eyes and said directly: "Years ago, when we assembled the Northern Expedition army, because of the shortage of men, His Majesty not only transferred two-thirds of the Forbidden Army, but also the city defense. Now, The night patrol in the capital relies on the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion to work part-time, what does it look like?" "My suggestion is to re-establish the city defense, and temporarily let..." He said and looked at Wei Gongyu: "Let Mr. Makino manage it. how?"

As soon as these words came out, the two princes who were originally arguing with each other suddenly stopped arguing.

Originally, they were all determined to win over these newcomers, but if everyone was under the control of Makino, the new boss, none of them would dare to snatch them away.

And he's also happy to make it happen.

Master Makino has a very high status, but Wei Gongyu has no foundation. It is not appropriate to give him a big position rashly, not to mention there is no important position. As a newcomer, he is definitely in charge of city defense. In the past, city defense was not They are all under the control of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

In terms of status, he was valuable enough and had a certain amount of military power, so it wasn't a shame.

The key is that although the responsibility of city defense is heavy, it does not affect the interests of other people. If the other party agrees to such an arrangement, today's embarrassment can be resolved.

Everyone immediately looked at Wei Gongyu.

At this moment, Wei Gongyu's heart trembled. He did not expect that the spy would actually be the Duke of Yue!

It's really watertight.

The Duke of Yue's position seems important but does not involve military power. He is the least feared by others. However, it is the most suitable place for him to speak out and assign the new ghosts to a place.

I really didn't expect that the person behind the plan was not simple.

"Hey kid, did you guess wrong?"

"Seniors have calculated the abyss, but I am arrogant." Wei Gongyu felt ashamed in his heart.

"Hahahaha." The other party suddenly laughed and said: "That's great. If you can guess that far, you can't possibly guess everything, right?"

"Ashamed boy."

Makino smiled and spoke directly, and a dull voice came from Wei Gongyu's body: "Then let's let this brat practice his skills, and you guys can relax, right?"

"Your Majesty, you are serious." Everyone saluted quickly, fearing that the other party would not be satisfied with this arrangement.

"Okay, okay." Makino waved his hand: "I don't care about your little thoughts. I didn't come out early this time to argue with you about these things. Let's just let him practice his skills first. When His Highness King Xiang comes back, I will go to the front line, so you just need to prepare the replacement for the city defense in advance."

"It's an adult"

Seeing the opponent's method of taking military power so lightly, Wei Gongyu became more and more wary, but also became confused.

These newcomers did not choose to infiltrate the Forbidden Army and the Martial Temple, but became the city's defense personnel alone. Although the control rights were obtained as a matter of course, wouldn't it be inconvenient when taking action?

According to his idea, taking the opportunity to assign people to the Martial Temple and secretly controlling the Martial Temple would have the best chance, right?

City defense? Is it possible to attack those ghost temples by patrolling at night?

No matter how you think about it, there is no chance of winning.

How was this calculated?
