"En. Bi Qu Pavilion" Jiang Li was still calm and calm after listening to Ding Kui's story.
The Senate may be the most intrigued place in the country. The people there represent the interests of all the nobles in the kingdom. It is not easy to fight for your own interests, but you also have to fight for others. Nothing is easy in the Senate.
, in addition to a flexible mind, you also need a strong heart. Once someone sees your trump card first, you will become passive.
Jiang Li stood up, took two steps in the study, and said: "Your arrangement is very correct. The city's defense force is far more complicated than you think. Because the capital is not only the foundation of the royal family, but also the major families in the country live here."
At this point, the city defense army in Zhenjing City has never been controlled by any force, except the king.
The Inspection Office is one of the most thankless departments in the city defense army, but it has a thousand troops under its jurisdiction, accounting for 10% of the total city defense army. Don't underestimate this thousand troops, it can suffocate the command of a million troops at a critical moment
The commander-in-chief.
Yang Feng was not favored by the military during the incident twenty years ago, and his family was also implicated. It was difficult to survive in the regular army, so it was understandable that he infiltrated the city defense army. However, he was investigated by you so easily.
It’s there, and everything seems so reasonable, and that’s the biggest problem.”
"It's true that Yang Qia is a member of the Yangfeng clan. It's also true that he sent people to follow me. Then there was an assassination. I don't believe it was a coincidence." Ding Kui had no intention of letting Yang Qia go easily.
"Yangfeng is not a simple person, and his adoptive father and son are even more scheming. Now when you are about to hold the engagement ceremony, throw out a small person like Yangqia. What is their purpose? We must first understand this problem.
." Jiang Li looked at the problem from a different perspective than Ding Kui.
Ding Kui had thought about this problem in his mind. If he could figure it out easily, he wouldn't come here to find his uncle. The combination of Yang Feng and Zi Si could defeat even his grandfather, so he didn't have the slightest idea of contempt.
"Do you hope that my father or I will get angry and kill Yangqia, so that they can take the opportunity to slander the king and demand that the marriage between me and the eldest princess be cancelled?" This was Ding Kui's most direct guess.
Jiang Li sat back on the chair, and the chair made of solid wood squeaked, "We cannot rule out the possibility that your father and you were impulsive in the past and ruined your marriage to the eldest princess.
Good for them."
"If it were that simple I would just ignore them."
Jiang Li said slowly: "It's OK to wait and see what happens, but it's not a good idea to ignore it."
"Please ask uncle to teach me."
"Well, you can still stay calm this way, good." Jiang Li smiled, "As long as you can keep doing this, you can deal with it no matter what tricks your opponent wants to use.
Someone needs to be sent to keep an eye on Yang Qia to prevent him from making small moves and scratching his sore feet. The acting director can be made official or dismissed. If you don't give him some color, he will think you are weak and can be bullied."
"I have arranged money to do this, but my father still has to give him an explanation, don't you think?"
"Okay, I told him to make a copy of the information and give it to me." Jiang Li knew that he was the only person in Zhenjing City who could stabilize Ding Qi, and even his younger brother Jiang Xi couldn't.
The city defense army camp in Zhenjing City is much grander than other places, but it has not experienced war for a long time. Both officers and soldiers lack awareness of combat readiness. The guards of the camp are loose, and outsiders can be seen entering and leaving the military camp from time to time.
Yangqia, who is in his forties, is short and thin. The inspection camp under his management is relatively disciplined, which is related to the fact that the inspection office is often on duty to perform tasks.
"Wugu, your squadron should clean up the hut immediately, otherwise we won't have dinner. If you dare to go to the 'Happy Kiln' next time to be lazy, I will skin you." Yang Qia cursed at one of his subordinates, spitting.
Spray it into the opponent's face. After training him, he returns to his barracks.
In the distance, two soldiers were sweeping the floor, and when no one was paying attention, they jumped onto the roof of the camp.
"Do you recognize it?" the older soldier asked.
"Sir, Wan Yu has clearly recognized the appearance of the target." The young soldier replied.
"Hey, no one told you, don't call people by your original name after putting on makeup. You have to write this down in the future without me telling you." The older soldier was General Shi.
"I'm sorry, I don't think anyone around here calls me that." Wan Yu shrank his neck.
"After putting on makeup, you have to forget who you are and just remember the mission clearly. From now on, I will hand over Yangqia to you. If you can't come to the military camp, come as little as possible. Just pay close attention to his every move outside the camp.
General Shi said while removing the traps on the roof of the barracks.
Wan Yu watched carefully from the sidelines. Whether it was the person setting up the trap or breaking the trap, his level was much higher than his. It was the first time for him to see two high-level archers fighting indirectly in actual combat.
"If someone suspicious comes here to meet Yang Qia, just follow the route you just took. From where I'm lying, I can hear what's going on inside the house." Shi Jiang left a back door for Wan Yu on the roof.
"Thank you very much for your contribution, thank you very much, captain." Wan Yu corrected his mistake in time.
General Shi knew that today's companion was a novice, so he didn't care too much. He made a retreat gesture and retreated along the same route with Wan Yu, quietly leaving the city defense army camp.
Liu Yu received a message from the guard Lao Guo and rushed to the study to see Ding Kui. He found that there were guards guarding the study twenty meters away, but there was no one around the study.
"Young Master, what is the important matter that requires such a posture?"
"To put it simply, I want to open a magazine to Zhenjing City." Ding Kui said it very simply.
"Young Master, as the commander of Huben, has transferred his own intelligence personnel to the capital when the spy department is not available. Aren't you afraid of arousing suspicion?" Liu Yu sat opposite Ding Kui.
"I'm afraid, but I can't help it. The Intelligence Department is the country's intelligence agency and the eyes and ears of the Shaodian royal family. They won't say anything about things that I shouldn't know. Each major family has its own spies, and no one is hiding it.
Even though I know it secretly, I just want my eyes to be brighter and my ears to be more sensitive, and I will not do anything that goes beyond the duties of a minister." Ding Kui made it clear.
"You can't ask me about this matter, the key depends on what the king wants." Liu Yu looked into Ding Kui's eyes candidly.
"I need an excuse. If there is a good reason, I think the king will turn a blind eye." Ding Kui stared at Liu Yu with bright eyes.
"But because of Yangfeng?" Liu Yu suddenly became serious.
"Yes, it has something to do with him."
"The young master will go to the palace tomorrow to ask your Majesty to resign from the position of Huben Commander." Liu Yu smiled, very easily.
"Is this all right?" Ding Kui's mind didn't turn around.
"When the King promoted you to Commander Huben without warning, many rumors leaked out, including the conjecture that the King was considering recruiting you as his consort. Now it seems that this conjecture is closest to the truth.
Looking back, you didn’t have any military exploits at that time, and no one could guess your performance on the battlefield. So the king probably had the idea of granting a marriage two years ago. If this is the case, Commander Huben is just doing it for the future.
To pave the way for marriage.
As long as you resign tomorrow, you can make a judgment based on the king's reaction. If the king agrees to your resignation as Huben Commander, then the eldest princess will marry you for a reason; if the king does not agree, then his purpose is to win over you.
, it is not appropriate for the magazine company to come to the capital."
Liu Yu stopped short of his speculations about the king and did not say anything too hateful. While helping Ding Kui make suggestions, he maintained his respect for Shaodian Dan.
"In other words, if I resign as Commander Huben, then the magazine can open a branch in the capital?"
"As long as our people don't destroy the stability of the capital."
Ding Kui pinched his chin and asked: "I need a reason to resign. I can't refuse the king's reward without reason."
"This is easy to handle. Just say that you are planning for the future. Now that you are holding many positions, the Jiang family still expects you to inherit the title and become the third elder. In the future, you will have all the officials in the two houses and houses. So where will you show your talents?
?If you are not sure, you might not be able to get anywhere."
Liu Yu is not an alarmist. There are overt and covert conflicts in the officialdom, but they also pay attention to teamwork. No one will accept anyone whose position is unclear. The one who can be recognized by the two governments and two houses is the king.
"If I resign as Commander Huben, will foreign forces intensify their actions?"
"As long as you pay attention to safety, we welcome foreign forces to step up their operations. That is a perfect excuse for us to establish an intelligence network. How can the Prince Consort sit back and wait for death? Without the help of the Intelligence Division in the short term, it will become difficult for us to obtain intelligence.
, but the problem will be solved when you return to the military camp." Liu Yu's considerations are always thorough and there are few mistakes.
"Okay, I will enter the palace tomorrow." Ding Kui understood what Liu Yu meant.
#
"I didn't expect that the first time you took the initiative to enter the palace was to resign. I thought you were thinking of asking for more salary." Shao Diandan did not take Ding Kui's resignation seriously.
"The humble minister eats the emperor's salary and shares the emperor's worries. When he reaches adulthood, he should serve as a director. However, the military position conflicts with Huben's commander. The humble minister cannot just take his salary and do nothing." When Ding Kui saw the king talking like this, he probably guessed that the king
the meaning of.
"Interesting, it's true that 'the emperor's salary is divided into his worries'. If every minister thinks like you, I won't have anything to worry about." Shaodiandan heard this saying for the first time, "Well
, Commander Huben is the only official to reward you, so you can resign if you can't make excuses."
"Your Majesty, the prince can be punished for cheating the king by cheating the king." Ding Kui heard that Shaodian Dan was about to step down.
"Hahaha, I just said that you didn't just want to get more salary, but you immediately want to get back those five years of salary. Well, I heard that you bought a 'Cat's Eye Fire Diamond' for Luan'er, and your recent expenses are a bit high, so
That's it. According to Gu's decree, the prince will be punished with five years of salary and be dismissed from the post of commander of Huben." Shaodian Dan was very talkative today.
