"Mr. Gu, please rest assured. Since everyone is doing things for His Highness King Qin, our Qingye sect is naturally bound to do these things. However, there are powerful forces behind the banker to protect us, and the Ming family is not a fuel-efficient lamp either. The Thirteenth Highness is even more incompatible with Listening Some important figures in Xuexuan's relationship are closely related, and it will take some effort to get something out of it. But please rest assured, Mr. Guji, our Qingye Sect will definitely do our best and will not let Mr. Guji down." Jiang Shaozhou The words are very resounding. This is not the time to be humble. You have to stand up for what you should stand up for.
Nodding, he probably knew that this matter was not easy to deal with, otherwise he would not easily recruit these Jianghu sects to participate. At this time, Gu Ji also knew that there was some gambling involved in letting these Jianghu sects participate in this matter, but he I don't care, Bao can never bet on one side, nor can he only have this arrangement, but with the participation of the Qingye Sect, the chances are much greater. As one of the top sects in the imperial capital, if there is no secret weapon that can be used with one or two moves, then the Aoba Sect will really be in vain. Now is the time for the Aoba Sect to use what they can. .
"Very good, then I will wait for the good news from your sect. However, the three of you also know that His Highness King Qin will soon leave for Beijing. Since His Highness is coming to Beijing, he must have his own arrangements on security issues. I might as well tell them Of course, Your Highness will not come empty-handed. Situ Lang also agrees that kings can enter the capital in a way that they feel safe. The way to ensure your own safety is to have enough power in your hands to protect yourself, so in this regard, Your Highness will definitely have The army that follows you. But the problem now is not in this aspect. I judge that if these parties unite and want to deal with His Highness the King of Qin, they will definitely not attack the army. They will definitely use some special means, and assassination It should be one of the most effective and direct methods. After all, this imperial capital is not under the direct control of His Highness. Therefore, while the three of them understand all aspects of the situation, they also need to make a security strategy for His Highness once he enters the capital. Make arrangements and make some preparations in advance.”
With a shiver in his heart, Jiang Shaozhou naturally knew the meaning of the other party's words. Once the kings enter the capital, they will probably maintain a balance in terms of military forces by means of mutual restraint, which is difficult to mobilize. For security issues, they need to rely on their own guards. Strength. The Imperial Capital has always been the sphere of influence of His Majesty and the First Prince. Even the Sixth Prince is afraid that there are many lurkers hidden in the Imperial Capital. If several parties really want to join forces to deal with His Highness King Qin as the other party said, then the security problem will be serious. Very. It's really hard to say whether Qingye's group can shoulder this important task.
Seeing that the other party was silent and did not dare to agree for a while, Gu Ji naturally knew what the other party was worried about. He smiled slightly and added: "You three don't have to worry too much. Since Your Highness dares to come to Beijing, he will naturally be prepared and will meet you all when the time comes." After exchanging opinions, the three of us believe that the Aoba faction is not the only one serving His Highness in the Imperial Capital."
After hearing what Gu Ji said, the three heroes were mostly relieved. If it is true that only Qingye's faction has to shoulder such a heavy responsibility, Jiang Shaozhou and the other two people really dare not boast, but if there are a few helpers, the situation will naturally be very different.
*********************
The golden curtain rolled up, and a figure stood coldly at the door. The man in brocade robes lying on the bed glanced at the other person lightly, then lay down again and continued to take a puff of the big cigarette. Circles of smoke rose from the kang, and the faint aroma permeated the entire room.
Situ Yushuang's eyes looked at each other with a hint of hatred. Since the eldest brother and sixth brother kept pushing for the palace, and Li Wufeng succeeded in the north and south fronts, the entire Heshuo and Beiyuan suddenly fell into Li Wufeng's hands. Seeing that half of the empire was silently transformed into the territory in the hands of the ambitious Li Wufeng, not only did the gossip in the Situ family make Ninth Brother breathless, but the complaints of the conservative nobles in the court against Ninth Brother were also increasing day by day. With the financial and taxation of Donghai and Jiangnan cut off, the salaries of officials in the imperial capital are no longer guaranteed. The financial and taxation revenue of the imperial capital alone cannot support the expenditures of various departments of the central government. The income of officials is only three days. Cha Wu's fight became sloppy, which led to more complaints from the officials. People in the entire imperial capital were in a state of confusion, and Brother Jiu was regarded as a boring emperor. In the end, even he himself became obsessed with it.
"Brother Emperor, why are you smoking this thing again? Can't you smoke more of this thing? Don't you know?"
"What can you do if you don't smoke this? There's no need to go to court this morning. I'm so busy all day long. Thirteenth sister, aren't you helping me with everything in this court? No matter how big or small my brother is, he's too busy. Well, aren't they all trying to get the throne under my butt? If they want it, just take it." He exhaled another puff of smoke, his pale face looked a little sicker, and the eyes of the young man lying on the kang flashed. There was a trace of anger, but he seemed to think of something again, his face darkened again, he shook his head slightly and said nothing more.
"Brother Ninth, do you really think that I am helping your eldest brother and sixth brother to seek your throne?" He seemed to be aware of the emotions of his direct brother, and there was a hint of helplessness in his cold eyes, "Why don't you want to Think about it, in this situation, if our Situ family does not unite, sooner or later the world will be taken away by that Li Wufeng. Is it true that the world of our Situ family will be defeated by our generation?"
"Forget it, Thirteenth Sister, I know you have the world in mind, and Ninth Brother can't compare to you. If you were a man, I'm afraid it would be better for you to sit on the throne. Alas, let's do what you want now Well, Ninth Brother, I don’t want to do it anymore.” Shaking his head, the young man stood up and took another puff from the pipe. His face suddenly became much rosier, and his eyes were half-squinted as if he was wandering thousands of miles away.
"Brother Ninth, look at what you look like now!" Situ Yushuang seemed a little distressed and uncomfortable, and the look on his face changed several times, "My sister is also planning for you, don't you understand? Only by getting rid of Li Wufeng can our Situ family maintain a stable position in this country. Only by keeping the eldest brother and sixth brother in their current state, and our Situ family maintaining this balance of power, can your throne be stable and the entire empire avoid civil war again. Only then can we really hold on!”
"Thirteenth sister, I'm afraid the situation is not as simple as you think. Although Ninth Brother is dim, he also knows that Li Wufeng is not something that can be stopped casually. Look at the tiger and wolf troops under his command, hum. Humph, neither the eldest brother nor the sixth brother can compare to each other. Can it be said that if the eldest brother and the sixth brother join forces, it can be achieved?" It seems that the young man's mind suddenly came to life under the stimulation of the smoke, and he started to speak. He also said succinctly, "Let's not say whether he will come to Beijing. Even if he really wants to come to Beijing, with Li Wufeng's mind, he will not be able to figure out the joints in between? There is not enough security guarantee, I'm afraid he won't know half a step. He has only half-stepped into the Imperial City. When the time comes, he will be standing outside the Imperial City. Will those people in the Imperial City not run out in a swarm? I’m afraid the method you devised will not work, right? When the time comes, our Situ family It can only be in vain to gather popularity for Li Wufeng."
He glanced at his ninth brother with some surprise. He didn't expect that his brother, who was almost a loser in his eyes, could actually say such a thing, and his words were precise and reasonable. Situ Yushuang couldn't help but calm down and think about it carefully, and then said: "Brother Ninth, what you said is not unreasonable, but think about it, Li Wufeng can really not enter the city when he arrives at the imperial capital? He is fighting now Anyone with a discerning eye knows what his plans are. Not everyone in the Imperial City will go out to visit him. If he really has a disobedient heart, he will never give up this opportunity to win over everyone in the Imperial City. Yes, I am sure of this!"
Putting down the cigarette, his face gradually returned to its normal bluish-white color. The young man in the brocade robe sighed sadly, "I hope so. I hope it won't be self-defeating."
As soon as the words "self-defeating" were heard, Situ Yushuang's heart suddenly stirred. It was like a magic spell, which gave Situ Yushuang a bad premonition out of thin air. She couldn't help but shake her head, as if to put this unfavorable situation away Putting aside her good thoughts, she did not believe and was not willing that the Situ Dynasty, which had lasted for hundreds of years, would be destroyed. She would give it a try no matter what.
The beacon fires in the sky finally subsided after the Jiayuguan was recovered and the last batch of Kaman troops disappeared at the northern border. The entire Western Xinjiang seemed to have returned to its original prosperity overnight, and caravans suddenly swarmed out of the city. Going out and running on various business roads, merchants and hawkers shuttled in the streets and alleys outside the city. The scene of workers in workshops and factories reappeared, and the fields were green with wheat. The land of Xinjiang has regained its vitality.
However, as the master of Western Xinjiang, Wu Feng does not seem so comfortable. The cessation of war often means the beginning of busy political affairs. It is obvious that the five northern prefectures included in Western Xinjiang are no longer suitable to be managed by Guanxi County, and Heshuo The same is true for the land, especially the two counties that were originally the heartland of the empire, but are now war-torn and in urgent need of reconstruction. The candidates for the governors of the two counties and the city guards of the Beiyuan prefectures have become a problem in Wu Feng's heart. Especially the governors of these two counties are of great importance and it is quite difficult for Wu Feng to decide. Although the Government Affairs Office has some satisfactory candidates, but in Wu Feng Even Feng's eyes seemed to be imperfect.
