Chapter 492: Stay Alive
Sheng Ze told her all these things.
Shen Qingqian didn't know when it started, but whenever Sheng Ze had time, he would come to her, not to talk about love, but to tell her about things happening around him. This was something Shen Qingqian couldn't refuse.
There was no Internet in that era, and many pieces of information would not be known to others until they were very late unless they were stated by the parties involved.
Thinking of what Sheng Ze said to her last night, Shen Qingqian felt relieved again.
"Prince Zhao wants to save both his reputation and his reputation, so he won't attack Ebei again in the short term. At the court, Sheng Zhan thinks this is a conspiracy by Prince Zhao and hasn't strictly investigated whether I'm still alive. With Uncle Liang manipulating this, Ebei should be able to catch its breath for a while."
Having time to breathe means that there is an opportunity for development in northern Hubei. Shen Qingqian immediately decided that they should take advantage of this opportunity to survive.
The imperial court cannot be trusted, and King Zhao is even less trustworthy. The only way to succeed is to develop one's own power.
Liang Cheng also has a new plan for this matter. First of all, Sheng Ze's identity should not be exposed if it can be avoided. If it really cannot be exposed, then it depends on whether the strength of northern Hubei can withstand the pressure from all sides.
Just as he was thinking, Shen Qingqian heard the soldiers' discussion again.
"What do you think we should do if the former prince is still alive and in northern Hubei?"
Hearing such questions, Shen Qingqian also wanted to know what these ordinary soldiers thought.
"Needless to say, I definitely support the Crown Prince in regaining the throne!"
"Me too. Look at the current emperor. He doesn't care about our lives at all. I say this with my head cut off. If he becomes emperor, our Great Jin will lose its territory sooner or later. Emperor Taizu might even be so angry that he would jump out of his mausoleum."
"Then you have so much confidence in the prince?"
"Why haven't you forgotten? Five years ago, it was the late Crown Prince's words that saved the people of Lingnan from suffering."
"Oh, that's right. Moreover, the former crown prince came from Xuanji Mountain, where immortals are born. If he becomes the emperor, perhaps our Great Jin can make further progress!"
""
The topic gradually shifted towards gods and ghosts. Shen Qingqian shook her head, but these people were not wrong about one thing.
Sheng Ze is a man of great righteousness. If he became the emperor, regardless of his ability to govern the world, at least he would not be like the current emperor, who is reluctant to send troops to support even when the enemy comes to his doorstep.
A few days later, Liang Cheng received news that the court had sent reinforcements to Yuzhou. He was greatly relieved and quickly summoned the generals to discuss matters. On the same day, he withdrew the Hubei-Northern Army from the Lanjiang River, leaving only two thousand people to guard against a surprise attack from Prince Zhao's army.
After a few days, all the male prisoners who had been recruited into the army, including Shen Yong, were released. At the same time, Shen Qingqian no longer had to report to the military medical department every day.
Shen Qingqian's current mission is to expand the cultivation of medicinal herbs and find ways to help the people of northern Hubei increase their food production. At the same time, he also has to take care of the establishment of the official merchant caravan in northern Hubei.
Of course, all of this was kept secret from Wu and others.
Except for Shen Xiao, everyone else in the Shen family has returned to their pre-war lives.
"Your eldest brother has been leaving early and coming back late lately. He won't tell me what he's been up to when I ask him," Xiaolin complained quietly while cooking. "I don't know what he's been busy with."
Shen Qingqian paused holding the spatula, then smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about Big Brother. I heard that the Military Equipment Bureau has been busy with a lot of things recently. It must be a secret that can't be told to others, otherwise Big Brother would have told you long ago."
"Today's update has begun. I'm still a little dizzy, but I'm going to stand up straight! My dears, wait for me~"
