Creation Color Master
Chapter 608: War Begins
In the Tingyu Pavilion in the backyard of the theater, Chu Mo sat on a stone bench, tasting the Yunshan Mist Tea that he had just made.
The green dragon was swimming in the clear water, the lotus flowers were in full bloom, and the fragrance was carried by the breeze to every corner of the backyard.
"My lord, I have used special means to conduct a thorough investigation of the secret guards and shadow guards, and indeed found several rats hiding in the dark."
Chu Mo looked at the list handed over by Yao Guangxiao. His eyes swept across the paper, but he still found a few familiar names.
They were the first group of people under his command. They had followed him since he entered the Shadow because of Chen Gong and when he first took charge of the Dark Guards. However, he did not expect that they were undercover agents.
Among them, there are various forces mixed together, and even people from the imperial capital are mixed in. If Yao Guangxiao had not broken through the three realms and possessed the great art of Zen sound to knock on the heart, I am afraid that their identities would still not be found out.
Chu Mo carefully scanned the names on the list again, but was surprised to find that there were no people from the Divine Punishment Organization among them.
Chu Mo waved the paper lightly, and it flew out of his hand and turned into a pile of debris as the wind blew.
Chu Mo picked up the cup and took another sip, and suddenly realized that now, the only person who was with him was Yao Guangxiao.
Half a month has passed since returning from the Soul-Breaking Desert. During this period, the world's situation has been unpredictable.
First, the Ministry of War of the imperial court came up with a plan to rehabilitate the two kings, and received the support of Prime Minister Wei Yu. Soon, several generals on the list led their personal soldiers to the front line of the battlefield.
After half a month of fierce fighting, the two sides have not achieved any substantial results. Although frictions continue now, the two sides seem to have reached some kind of agreement, each occupying half of each state and guarding against each other.
This tense situation has lasted for several days, but it also sends a signal to the world that the current court seems to be unable to suppress the world today.
In secret, as members of the Divine Punishment Organization ran around, sowing discord and fanning the flames, the news that the current emperor had fallen into a coma soon spread throughout the world, and various forces emerged one after another like mushrooms after rain.
At the same time, in order to make huge profits, the aristocratic families within the dynasty began to drive up prices, causing economic turmoil within the dynasty, and the prices of cultivation resources circulating in society began to rise.
Not only that, even the lives of ordinary people have been affected. For example, a meat bun that used to cost one or two copper coins now costs five copper coins.
People's lives have become more difficult, and the number of people who are starving on the streets is gradually increasing.
In this economic game, the aristocratic families made a fortune, with the five major families in Xiayang making the most money.
By this point, the chaos in the world had become increasingly obvious, and people with evil intentions had joined the turmoil in an effort to fight for everything they wanted.
When the dynasty was on the brink of civil strife and the whole world was in turmoil, only the people of Haozhou were unaffected by the external turmoil and lived a peaceful and prosperous life.
It was precisely because Chu Mo had the help of many outstanding people that he seized the initiative and firmly controlled the two gateways of Dengtian Pass and Duanhun Desert, and also had Hanyang Pass to resist the threat of the Ancient Barbarian Dynasty. He could be said to be one step ahead at every step.
Now that he has Haozhou and the Broken Soul Desert as his territory and base, and Chu Mo has soldiers and generals under his command, all he needs to do now is accumulate his own foundation and wait for the right time.
The world is changing rapidly, and demons and monsters gather in the imperial capital.
In the Taiji Hall, Prime Minister Wei Yu seemed to have aged a bit, with his eyes drooped as if he was drowsy, and he seemed to be deaf to the noisy court.
"Humph, the world is in turmoil right now. This minister just doesn't understand why we can't put down the rebellion of the two kings even though we sent so many troops?"
"What on earth are the generals on the front battlefield doing? They usually brag about their abilities, but now they can't even deal with a rebel prince."
The personnel in the Ministry of War were clamoring and glaring at the generals angrily, especially the Minister of War Jiang Ying. He was the most annoyed at the moment. If the generals were not incompetent, the two rebellions could not be resolved and how could the dynasty be in such turmoil.
"Humph, you are a bunch of civil officials who are so arrogant. My military generals are fighting bravely on the front line, but in the end, the fault is blamed on us. Isn't this a bit too much?"
"Also, who knows if you guys in the Ministry of War are just talking on paper? I think there is something wrong with the rules you formulated to suppress the rebellion."
A black-faced man shouted loudly among the military generals.
This statement completely annoyed the Minister of War Jiang Ying, who pointed at the general and said, "Dong Youxiong, what nonsense are you talking about? The rules we have put forward have been approved by the Prime Minister. Do you also suspect that the Prime Minister is a person who only talks about war on paper?"
With just one sentence, the Minister of War Jiang Ying directed the war to Prime Minister Wei Yu. Noticing that all the civil and military officials in the court were looking at him, Prime Minister Wei Yu was about to take action but was interrupted.
"How can you quarrel in the court? Now that the emperor is in seclusion, you have failed to live up to his grace and have put the Xiayang Dynasty in a precarious situation. Instead of uniting to deal with the problem, you are actually trying to sabotage each other. This is simply outrageous."
A stern voice of scolding was heard, and everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and the person who spoke was the eldest prince Tang Chengqian.
He was very imposing and walked to the side of Prime Minister Wei Yu with the gait of a dragon and a tiger. He said, "Old Wei, you have assisted three emperors. You are also Cheng Qian's elder and one of the people Cheng Qian respects the most. But now that the dynasty is in turmoil, it is better to let father come out to support the government."
"I know that my father summoned you to the palace the night before he fell into a coma. I don't know what his father had in mind, but in the current situation, in order to prevent the country left by our ancestors from being lost, it is better to ask him to come out."
Wei Yu's cloudy eyes turned to Tang Chengqian who was standing in front of him. Although he had a smile on his face and spoke in a gentle voice, the ambition flashing in his eyes was not concealed at all.
He knew exactly what Tang Chengqian was planning, but thinking of what Tang Tiansheng had told him before he fell into a coma, Wei Yu began to waver.
"Hey"
Hearing this sigh, all the civil and military officials were shocked. Even the princes in the front row raised their heads and looked at the old figure with burning eyes.
"My Lord, everyone, it's not that I don't want the Emperor to step up and take charge of the situation, it's because I really don't know where His Majesty is in seclusion, and I can't contact the Emperor at the moment."
Tang Chengqian's eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness, and he looked directly at Wei Yu and said, "Old Wei, there are rumors outside that my father has fallen into a coma. I wonder if this is true or not?"
"Yes, now everyone in the dynasty, from the governor to the common people, knows that my father is in a coma. I don't know whether it is true or not."
"Old Wei, my brothers and I would like to meet our father. Please help us."
Seeing Tang Chengqian mention it, the Second Prince and others spoke up in agreement.
