Chapter 280
Shen Yuze still didn't refuse, just to help Nan Rongyue fulfill a wish.
The moonstone sword reflected his profile under the light.
Nan Rongyue was a little dazed.
He subconsciously stretched out his hand, but his hand stopped in the air.
He was not himself.
Nan Rongyue smiled bitterly in his heart.
After so many years, it's time to get out.
Shen Yuze raised his hand respectfully and bowed, bid farewell to Nan Rongyue and Song Zhirou, and walked out of Yaowang Valley slowly.
After that, he flew away on his sword.
In addition to the two of them, there was another person looking at it from afar.
Xiao Lan put her hands behind her back.
Her mind was full of longing and regret, and she had to return to the valley in despair in the end.
It really came true.
I sneered at you then, but I can't reach you now.
Shen Yuze flew straight to Xiangzhou Prefecture on his sword.
Xiangzhou is a state, and Xiangzhou Prefecture is the capital of this state. There is an essential difference between the two.
Today, there are many disturbances in Xiangzhou Prefecture.
Soldiers and horses can be seen everywhere in the city.
The people stay at home, and there are a lot of blood on the streets.
Shen Yuze jumped off the ground and walked into the Xiangwang Mansion.
There is no guard at the door now. After pushing the door open and entering, a burst of bloody smell made Shen Yuze frown.
At a glance.
Cousin Shen Qinglan took a knife and killed a concubine of Xiangwang with his own hands.
No matter how she begged for mercy, there was no mercy.
In addition, Shen Mingcheng's other sons have now become corpses, all piled up in the yard.
Shen Yuze was slightly surprised.
When Shen Qinglan saw the "benefactor" coming, he quickly dropped the knife, wiped the scarlet blood on his hands and face, and saluted respectfully.
"Your Highness Prince Yu!"
"No need to be polite, cousin."
Shen Yuze asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
"Just yesterday, the imperial edict of His Majesty arrived. Those bastards wanted to kill me and my father together and let the second son inherit the throne of King Xiang."
"I had no choice but to strike first."
"Kill all the bastards and their followers. My hands are sore from cutting them."
Shen Qinglan said these words lightly.
In fact, he was also very relaxed.
The two cousins are really similar, but the predicaments they face are incomparable.
The bastards Shen Qinglan faced were all a bunch of drunkards who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun.
The bastard Shen Yuze faced was His Highness Prince Mu, who had 300,000 elite troops and was now a martial saint.
As for King Xiang Shen Mingcheng.
The governor of Xiangzhou followed the imperial edict and confined him in the Prince Xiang's mansion, but he didn't care about what happened next.
After all, it is the family affair of the King of Xiang.
Shen Qinglan and Shen Yuze sat down in the courtyard, and said with a smile on their faces: "I locked my father in a side room with my mother's tablet inside, so let him live like this for the rest of his life."
"Okay, but remember to say hello to His Majesty." Shen Yuze reminded.
"Understood."
This is a simple power stand.
If this is not done, there will be no more Xiangwang Mansion in Xiangzhou, and Shen Yuqing will most likely leave the vassal throne vacant, and wait for him to have more sons in the future, and then give it to him.
Xiangzhou is a good place, mainly because it has two top sects and controls the entire southeastern region of Dayun.
However, Shen Yuqing is now willing to let his cousin take charge.
Who let this be a guarantee by his own brother.
Shen Qinglan's reward is very simple.
Help Shen Yuze train troops in Xiangzhou.
"Your Highness Prince Yu, I know what your biggest concern is."
"If you want to take down the tough bone of Liaodong Prefecture."
"In addition to warriors, you also need enough military force."
Shen Qinglan found a piece of paper with his military blueprint for the next five years.
"Within three years, I will help you train 150,000 elite light cavalry in Xiangzhou."
"Within five years, increase to 250,000."
Shen Yuze has no shortage of natural treasures, gold, silver and jewelry.
What he lacks is manpower!
What Shen Qinglan wants next is also very simple.
After Shen Mingcheng's death, he wants to ascend the throne of Xiangwang without any surprises, and continue to fight for a hereditary succession for his descendants.
In short, Dayun's vassal system is weakened generation after generation.
Take the vassal kings who founded the country as an example.
After four hundred years of evolution, some of their descendants are still weaving mats and selling shoes, and their lives are not even as good as those of ordinary people.
Shen Yuze smiled and said, "Cousin, I haven't inherited the throne yet!"
"But it's okay for you to ascend the throne of King Xiang."
"If you can't wait, kill Shen Mingcheng as soon as possible. Don't hesitate so much. He doesn't really treat you as his son."
Shen Yuze put himself in Shen Qinglan's shoes.
If Shen Mingxian killed Lu Shuhui in order to pursue other women.When the time is right, I will kill him without hesitation.
Shen Qinglan actually didn't care about the father-son relationship.
He was afraid of being criticized.
People who read too much are like this. They care about reputation and are afraid that their descendants will follow suit in the future.
That's why he wanted to outlast Shen Mingcheng.
Shen Yuze gave a suggestion.
"Take advantage of the turmoil in Xiangzhou this time to throw all the dirty water on those bastards."
"Don't care about morality."
"Sometimes, this thing is worthless!"
Shen Yuze considered that if Shen Qinglan was not a real vassal king, training troops would inevitably encounter resistance.
Besides, there are other princes in the south.
This group of fence-sitters is also a disaster.
In the future, if there is a full-scale war with Shen Yuchen, I am afraid that they will also make trouble behind the scenes, then Shen Qinglan's role will be greatly reflected.
Shen Qinglan made up his mind at this moment.
"Okay! I'll do it today!"
Shen Qinglan reads books at a very high level.
Even if he is not a descendant of the royal family, he may still become famous in the imperial examination with his own talents, and he is also a master of conspiracy.
Shen Yuze was too lazy to ask about the next thing.
"Cousin, there is another thing I need to ask you."
"Some noble families in the south are very dishonest."
"Help me knock them down."
Noble families are divided into martial arts families and official families. The latter are based in temples and academies. Under the national policy of emphasizing culture and suppressing military power, they have a lot of say.
Shen Yuze heard about it in Beiliangzhou a few days ago.
Especially the official families in Xiangzhou, they have been constantly writing letters, hoping that the court will come forward to ease the war.
They are the ones who suffer the most from the war.
The imperial court's finances were spending money, so they had to cut some meat from these people. After all, Shen Yuqing never liked to make money from the people.
These were secondary.
Some people used the war to make profits, and even sold internal information to the demons in exchange for some rare treasures of the demons, and then resold them to the mainland.
Chunchun was trying to put eye drops on Shen Yuze.
It was impossible not to warn him.
Shen Qinglan happened to be doing this as well, and had a list of names in his hand, but the biggest concern was that those families all had the background of "Taizhong Academy".
Shen Yuze had a good impression of Zhang Taizhong, but this person had already become a myth among the literati.
He was established as the second Confucian saint.
Before Zhang Taizhong, there was the founder of Confucianism - the Saint Wenxuan King!
