Huangxiu

Chapter 401 Details
Gao Lingfeng hurriedly asked, "But if things continue like this, where will the dignity of the court be?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "The imperial court's majesty is achieved through the army. The Eastern Territory is indeed becoming increasingly messed up."

The time has come for the East Territory to change.

But how to change it and who will change it, this is the real big problem.

No one wants to touch the East Territory.

For the royal family, high-ranking officials and dignitaries, cleaning up the East Territory is like stirring up a hornet's nest, and they are doomed to have a bad ending.

Chu Zhiyuan definitely didn't have this idea.

If even the crown prince is like this, what about others?

He counted on his fingers and found that only a few princes could calm them down.

But these princes would never do such a thing.

The emperor trusts Chu Qingyan and Chu Qingfeng the most, and they each have their own business.

And we have to protect them as well, we can't push them into this fire pit.

The other princes were either incompetent, too selfish, or lacked talent.

“My Lord…” Gao Lingfeng said solemnly, “Even if the Zhenwu Division takes the blame, we must clear out the Daliu Camp as soon as possible. Otherwise, other towns or military camps will follow suit and the situation will become even worse.”

Chu Zhiyuan looked at him.

Gao Lingfeng looked calm and peaceful.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It's rare for Lord Gao to have such a vision... Don't be anxious, let's find out the whole story first."

"But the news from the Zhenwu Division..."

"The news from the Zhenwu Division is only one-sided and cannot be fully trusted. I will go to the Supervisory Division and see what the news is there before making a decision."

"...Yes." Gao Lingfeng clasped his fists helplessly.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "This is originally a matter for the Ministry of War. The court has not issued an order yet. It is unwise for us to take the initiative to go over there."

"...Yes." Gao Lingfeng nodded.

Chu Zhiyuan sighed and said, "Mr. Gao, the way to be an official is to protect your safety first, then think about making achievements. Don't easily put yourself in a passive situation."

"Yes." Gao Lingfeng showed gratitude: "I was too excited."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Mr. Gao is still passionate, which is commendable, but at times like this, you should not act impulsively."

"Yes." Gao Lingfeng clasped his fists and said, "Then I'll take my leave."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

He looked at Gao Lingfeng's back as he left, seeming to be thinking about something.

Is Gao Lingfeng really hot-blooded and impulsive, or is there another reason?

What is his connection with Jihai Town?
He closed his eyes and quickly thought of Gao Lingfeng's hometown.

Gao Lingfeng's hometown is Ninghai Town.

Adjacent to Jihai Town.

Is Gao Lingfeng worried that if the situation in Jihai Town deteriorates, it will affect Ninghai Town?

Everyone has selfish desires. It is impossible to serve the public wholeheartedly, which goes against human nature.

He had never been so demanding before, and Gao Lingfeng was already a rare achievement.

-

"My Lord, these are all the news from Jihai Town and Dalui Camp." Ma Tianhe bowed and smiled flatteringly, pointing to the file box on the table: "The news of the past ten years is all here."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "Thank you for your help."

"Young Master, why are you being so polite to me?" Ma Tianhe said with a smile.

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Has His Highness the Ninth Prince behaved abnormally recently?"

"His Highness the Ninth Prince has been very quiet recently. I haven't seen many people. He mostly stays in the Sifang Pavilion."

"Do you still drink wine every night?"

"Yes."

"It's quite free and easy," Chu Zhiyuan said as he opened the file, "How is the investigation at Linglong Library going?"

"There are at least two courtesans who are suspicious, but they don't seem to be secret spies."

"You have martial arts skills, but you are not a secret spy?"

"Yes."

"Is it some secret sect that cultivates the mind in the mortal world?"

"It seems so." "Can't find out which sect it is?" Chu Zhiyuan asked.

He flipped through the pages quickly while talking to Ma Tianhe without any interruption.

"I didn't want to alert the enemy, so I didn't send anyone to test it."

"Then forget it." Chu Zhiyuan said.

Ma Tianhe said: "Linglong Library can't do anything, but I think there are at least four secret spies from the Great Mongolia on the way from Linglong Library to Sifang Library, exchanging information with His Highness the Ninth Prince from time to time."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Just keep an eye on him, don't rush to close the net."

"Yes." Ma Tianhe nodded solemnly.

Chu Zhiyuan closed his mouth and began to concentrate on reading.

Ma Tianhe tactfully retreated quietly.

Chu Zhiyuan read through all the files on the case in one breath, and read all the news about Jihai Town in the past ten years, and had a general understanding of the situation in Jihai Town.

Ding Shaoqiang, the general of Jihai Town, is a power-obsessed man who is extremely obsessed with meritorious service.

But there are no wars in the east, and no military achievements can be made, so the solution is to build ships.

Every warship built is a great achievement.

But building warships is not that easy, otherwise it would not be a great success.

Logging, cutting, sanding, painting, scaffolding, installing, filling... it is complicated and difficult.

Especially when logging, the hardest wood is needed, which is often done in deep mountains and old forests. Not only does it require a long journey, but the road is also rugged and difficult, and there are dangers such as wild beasts and bandits along the way.

It was extremely difficult to transport these huge trees out, and after they were transported out, it was normal to have cracked hands and feet and frostbite on the skin while working in the sea breeze at the beach.

It can be said to be an extremely painful thing.

Especially in winter.

It also snowed and was just as cold in the East, but the sea water did not freeze, so people could still sail and build ships.

He forced the military garrisons under his rule not to rest, and even demanded that the construction period be accelerated in order to show off his achievements before the Lantern Festival, and he urged them to work as fast as he could.

They even sent out supervisors to whip the soldiers and treated them as forced laborers.

The soldiers under his rule could no longer bear the exhaustion and oppression, and refused to obey orders in anger, and killed the general's guards who came to suppress the rebellion.

The information Chu Zhiyuan saw was that General Ding Shaoqiang had ordered his personal soldiers to kill without mercy.

A few personal soldiers came over and followed their orders, directly killing the two leaders.

This caused outrage in the entire Dalui Camp, and several of his personal soldiers were killed.

Killing his personal soldiers would mean there would be no turning back, as Ding Shaoqiang would definitely send a large army to kill them.

So they just rolled up the weapons in the camp and went into the deep mountains and forests nearby.

They were familiar with the roads in the deep mountains and old forests because they cut wood for the warships. For a moment, the entire Jihai Town was helpless against these 3,500 people.

The news was originally concealed, but it could not be concealed in the end. It was heard by the Censor-in-Chief, who exposed the matter in a memorial.

The entire court was shocked.

Within one morning, all the people in Yujing City knew about it.

The imperial court of Dajing was like a sieve; news spread too quickly.

Moreover, the people of Dajing like to discuss politics. News from the morning court is brought up for discussion during breakfast. Everyone is like an important official in the court and has to express their opinions.

The court was still debating on how to deal with this matter, whether to send a large army directly or to bring Ding Shao back first.

To appease or to conquer.

Each faction had its own reasons, and they argued fiercely for a while.

The court officials were arguing, and the people throughout Yujing City were also arguing, each holding their own point of view and refuting others.

The entire Yujing City was extremely bustling, and for a moment, everyone's eyes were on Jihai Town.

The coastal military town, which had always been unknown, suddenly became famous and almost everyone knew about it.

Almost everyone knows Ding Shaoqiang's name, and when people mention him, they look at him with a greedy and mean look.

After reading it, Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

Ding Shaoqiang asked the court for help and requested the help of the masters of Zhenwu Division.

In fact, it is not intended to deal with any martial arts masters.

Deep in the mountains and old forests, the soldiers of the military town acted perfunctorily, their morale was completely gone, and they were completely unable to deal with the soldiers of the Daliaoying Camp.
