Looking out the window at the howling wind and the cloudy sky, He Zhiqiu only felt that his heart was colder than the weather outside the room, so what could he do? Not to mention that there is no evidence at all to prove that Li Wufeng has evil intentions. Even if there is, so what? I'm afraid His Majesty won't believe it at all. How many ministers in the DPRK are willing to offend him at the height of his power under such circumstances
Thinking of this, He Zhiqiu suddenly had an idea in his mind and turned around with a gasp, "Wen Fu, where did you get this news? Does anyone else know?"
Lu Wenfu, who had been thinking about He Zhiqiu's words, saw that the usually calm and composed Minister of Military Affairs suddenly became a little anxious, and was a little surprised as to why he was interested in this issue. However, seeing the urgent look in his eyes, he immediately replied: " This news was obtained by my people from the Luobei people under an accidental circumstance. It is said that the opinions among the Luobei people on reaching a compromise with Li Wufeng are not completely unanimous, but the group in favor of reaching a compromise currently has the upper hand, and some are not convinced. I agreed that I mentioned this matter on a specific occasion, but it seems that most people don’t know the specific content of this matter.”
"So your information was not obtained from the Imperial Intelligence Department. It seems that many people do not know this information yet." Nodding, He Zhiqiu's expression became normal, but he became hesitant in his heart. Having made up his mind, he felt that he had resorted to seemingly despicable measures, which was rare in his career as an official. However, when he thought about it, he was doing so for the sake of the overall situation and for the benefit of the empire, and he felt at ease. More, I made up my mind.
Lu Wenfu noticed that the frowned brows of the Minister of Military Affairs in front of him sometimes relaxed and sometimes tightened, as if he was making an important decision. After several considerations, he seemed to have finally made up his mind.
"Old He, you seem to have some countermeasures, since you have? *Dang Falcon Ci Meng Aunt??? Yi Qiang? Huang Mo Yu Yue Chai Scuttle Di Pai Wu Yue condyle playing?

"Wenfu, think about it, who in the court is most dissatisfied with Li Wufeng's blushing?" He Zhiqiu narrowed his eyes and gently stroked the gray goatee under his chin.
Lu Wenfu's eyes flashed with light. He was also a long-time first-class official in the imperialist court, and he had always been on good terms with He Zhiqiu. He knew the elegant meaning of the song when he heard it, "You mean Ning Yuanwang and Xidun? No, Although they can speak in the court, they dare not stop what His Majesty the Emperor has decided, so the only thing they can do is "" Knowing that his guess was correct, he nodded thoughtfully.
Slowly turning his back, his voice became a little deeper: "You know, I was originally the most disgusted with these clique disputes, but now the situation is serious, Li Wufeng's ambition has to arouse our vigilance, but the emperor Your Majesty may not be able to listen to these words now, not to mention that there are people blowing pillow wind next to him, so we have to take this step. I am afraid that only his power can make Li Wufeng have any scruples now, and he will certainly not tolerate it. As Li Wufeng's power grows, as long as we cooperate with him openly and covertly in court, I think it would be delusional for Li Wufeng's power to cross the Partridge Pass (Note 1)."
Silently analyzing He Zhiqiu's words, Lu Wenfu had to admit that this was the best method among currently available methods. Although there were many subtleties in the process, the general direction could only be this. Although Ning Yuanwang and the Xidun Party were quite influential in the court, firstly, Li Wufeng's appointment as the military and political envoy of Northwest County had become a fact. Secondly, they generally did not dare to go against His Majesty's wishes. Thirdly, There is no fundamental conflict of interest with Li Wufeng, so we can't expect them to do anything. But that person is different. He has been looking at the northwest for a long time, and Li Wufeng seems to be very close to someone now, which he cannot tolerate. This conflict is by no means easy to resolve. It seems that He Zhiqiu's gaze It's really not a general evil.
"Well, although there are still many aspects worth considering in your opinion, I still agree with it. However, we need to think carefully about the specific operation. Don't let His Majesty think that we are supporting a certain side, which will be difficult to handle. Also Although Ning Yuanwang and Xidun do not dare to go against His Majesty's opinion openly, they certainly don't want Li Wufeng to do this. As long as we cooperate secretly, we will also cause a lot of trouble for Li Wufeng." Lu Wenfu let out a slight sigh and heard the words He also lowered his voice, "It's a waste of my full support for him before. I didn't expect that he was so ambitious. It seems that it is difficult to know the heart when you know the person and the face! From now on, don't try to get the support of my internal affairs department. We must also strengthen our awareness of the changes in the situation in the northwest." monitoring.”
"Although Northwest County has a vast territory and rich resources, it has a sparse population, a poor economic foundation, and local forces are intertwined. There is also Yinchuan Prefecture, a hot potato. Even if Li Wufeng is very capable, as long as we keep him firmly in the northwest, he will not be able to make trouble. . Wenfu, what you just said is very important to strengthen the monitoring of the northwest. We must not only strengthen the monitoring of the northwest, but also strengthen the monitoring of the activities of Li Wufeng's departments outside, especially the activities in the imperial capital. This is particularly important. .”
Lu Wenfu nodded knowingly, "I will arrange for someone to take care of it. I think he will have many activities in the imperial capital, and maybe we can seize some opportunities."
But can He Zhiqiu and Lu Wenfu's ideas be implemented as smoothly as they hoped
Note 1: Partridge Pass is an extremely important pass between Bonan Prefecture and Longdong Prefecture. It is located in Longdong Prefecture and is the first pass on the important passage from the northwest to the Kansai region and even the Central Plains.
Situ Tai, who was lying on his back on the large leisure chair, had been feeling annoyed recently. He closed his eyes silently, but there were so many disturbing things in his mind that he couldn't calm down at all. This Li Wufeng is always unexpected, and he tries to win over him in every possible way. He always maintains a detached look, but not only how did he get together with Lao Liu, can't he not see who is more powerful now? Who was Situ Biao? He had no foundation and no help. How could Li Wufeng get involved with him? This puzzled him.
"Your Highness, Mr. Leng is here." The attendant's words interrupted Situ Tai's contemplation, and he waved his hand to signal the maid waiting at the side to step back, "Oh, please come in."
Leng Qian still looked as calm as ever. He walked into the room, saluted Situ Tai and sat aside, "Your Highness is here to see me, but what's the important matter?"
Situ Tai had straightened up, "Oh, it's nothing important. I just feel bored and want to talk to sir."
Lengqian glanced at Situ Tai's face. Situ Tai looked worried. He knew his master very well. It should be said that Situ Tai was a shrewd master, but if he was too shrewd, he seemed a bit taboo. Moreover, he also places too much emphasis on trickery. Although he does not stick to trivial matters to achieve big things, if he relies too much on these methods, it may be a disaster rather than a blessing.
He knew what his master was worried about now, but he didn't point it out. "Your Highness, you seem to have something on your mind."
"Oh, it's nothing. It's probably because of the weather. It's been snowing and raining all day long, and it's really hard to make people feel better." Situ Tai said casually.
"The auspicious snow heralds a good harvest. His Highness should be happy. If it snows a few more times like this, the empire will have another good harvest next year." Leng Qian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of a smile. Pass away.
"Well, this, yes, yes, this is indeed a good thing, but being stuck at home all day long, unable to go out, makes me feel depressed and panicked." Situ Tai was startled for a moment and quickly covered it up.
"Oh, then Your Highness can hold a family dance and invite some friends to join in the fun. It can not only strengthen the emotional connection, but also liven up the atmosphere."
Situ Tai hesitated for a moment, "Oh, I'm not in much mood for these dances right now."
"Oh? Then it seems that His Highness has encountered something troublesome. If it is because of that Li Wufeng, then His Highness does not need to be so troubled." Leng Qian stopped going around and went straight to the topic. He knew that he The master was already distraught.
"Oh? I hope you can teach me, sir." Situ Tai's eyes suddenly shone brightly, and his energy was like that of a drug addict who suddenly smoked enough tobacco leaves, and suddenly became alive.
"I have secretly investigated the relationship between Li Wufeng and His Highness Si Liu. According to the information we have, before Li Wufeng went to the northwest, the two of them had no relationship at all. It can be said that the Sixth Highness did not know Li Wufeng at all. And Li Wufeng was in charge of the city in the northwest. During his stay, he only returned to the Imperial Capital once, and his stay was not long. I focused on checking his contacts during this period, and found that I only had one contact with His Highness the Sixth Prince, which was at the Star-Zhaing Tower in the Imperial Capital, which lasted only three or four hours. Moreover, during Li Wufeng's stay in the imperial capital, his contacts were quite extensive, and there was nothing special about His Highness." Leng Qian analyzed slowly.
"Then is it possible that after that contact, they made plans for a future relationship and eventually formed a relationship?" Situ Tai's heart had begun to calm down and he asked this question.
"Probably not. Who would confide in his heart when they first met? Li Wufeng is not a fool, and His Highness the Sixth Prince was not an outstanding figure at the time. And they had no direct contact later. Even if they had, for such a big matter, the masterminds of both parties Without meeting each other, it is impossible to make the decision just by the people below." Leng Qian's words cannot be doubted.
"Then why did Lao Liu support Li Wufeng at the court meeting and let him get such a huge advantage?" Situ Tai still had doubts in his mind.
"Your Highness, think about it carefully. Although His Highness the Sixth Prince has ambitions to succeed, it can be said that he has no power at all at the moment. The changes in the situation in the northwest will not have much impact on him. Anyone who takes control of the northwest will have no influence on him. What a benefit, if he is controlled by you or other His Highnesses, it will be even more harmful to him. To be honest, Li Wufeng was indeed the best candidate at the time. His Highness strongly recommended Li Wufeng not only to win His Majesty's appreciation, but also to the court. The most important thing for the ministers is that they can take this opportunity to win over Li Wufeng. Regardless of success or failure, at least Li Wufeng owes him a favor, so why not?" Leng Qian's words hit the nail on the head.
Rubbing his painful temples, Situ Tai asked, "In your opinion, how should we deal with it now?"
"Stay unchanged to cope with all changes. Li Wufeng will not hang himself on a tree. Even if he wants to hang himself, he will choose the largest tree. The strength of His Highness the Sixth Prince is too far behind and not enough weight. I think he will hang with him. We contacted you.”
"But at the court meeting, I made it clear that I opposed him serving as the military and political envoy of Northwest County. Will he hold a grudge and not cooperate with us because of this?"
Interrupting Situ Tai's words, Leng Qian shook his head: "Absolutely not. The situation of everything changes at any time and at any time, and the attitude towards it will also change accordingly. Friends and enemies are not eternal. This point I believe Li Wufeng knows this better than we do. If he can't even do this, I think he has nothing to worry about."
The conversation changed, "However, we can't be careless. Li Wufeng has become a little popular, so we have to be prepared on both sides. We can try to strengthen the contact with him on the one hand, and on the other hand, we must limit the development of his power in all aspects and try to make him as strong as possible." Suppression in the northwest.”
