Zuo Qiuwen stood quietly in his study. This is not only his office, he also spends a lot of time here, because the couch here is very large and is used for him to rest. Zuo Qiuwen's
There is a cup of tea in front of me. I don’t know how many times I have changed this cup of tea, but it is always at its most delicious temperature and is always fresh.
De Cai stood beside him like a statue. Zuo Qiuwen sat there for a long time, and then he said in a deep voice: "It should be that he is not wrong." His voice made De Cai slightly stunned, but he
He didn't say anything, just listened quietly.
Zuo Qiuwen continued: "Decai, have you noticed that when he mentioned Marlowe, he felt a little guilty, but when he mentioned those big families, he was really angry, so you can imagine
, he should really want to deal with those big families, but Marlowe should also be his, but I don’t know how he colluded with the Twelve Company. You must know that the Twelve Company has existed for a long time.
After a long time, his background is stronger than that of some big families. Logically speaking, the Twelve Company should not collude with him. With their own strength, they can already gain a foothold in the empire, so why do they still collude with him?
Woolen cloth?"
Decai shook his head, and then said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this old slave doesn't know that the foundation of the Twelve Company is actually deeper than that of those big families. They have been around for a long time, and from the very beginning they
There is no way to find out how it was founded, because it has been too long, and the Twelve Company has always been very mysterious, so we can’t find out even if we want to, but the strength of the Twelve Company is indeed very powerful.
They can indeed gain a foothold in the empire with their own strength. There is no need to collude with Prince Rui, because even if they collude with Prince Rui, they will not be able to strengthen themselves further, because the major families will suppress them, even if they
It's useless to carry out Prince Rui." Decai is not a fool, he can actually be regarded as a full-time secretary of Zuo Qiuwen, and he is also the most trusted by Zuo Qiuwen, so he said this because Decai
He will always be loyal to Zuo Qiuwen. Regardless of whether Zuo Qiuwen is the emperor or not, he will only be loyal to Zuo Qiuwen. Even Decai has already requested from Zuo Qiuwen. He hopes to be buried with the imperial mausoleum, and Zuo Qiuwen also
Agreed, that is to say, if Zuo Qiuwen dies before Decai one day, Decai will be buried directly with Zuoqiuwen. Of course, if Decai dies first, he will also be buried first.
In Zuo Qiuwen's mausoleum.
Don’t think that because Zuo Qiuwen is in his prime now, he doesn’t have a mausoleum. In fact, almost all emperors have started building tombs since the day he ascended the throne. The same goes for Zuo Qiuwen. His mausoleum has long been built.
Build it well, this is also the rule.
Zuo Qiuwen nodded, and then said: "There must be something else going on here that we don't know about. There must be someone else pulling the strings for them. We must know, but there is also an advantage. We
We don’t have to deal with twelve companies at the same time. The major families have joined him. They are not in the same group. This is also good news for us."
Decai said: "But Your Majesty, the army here in the capital star is still in the hands of Prince Rui. This is not a good thing, but what is embarrassing is that if we deal with Prince Rui, it will only be more trouble.
, will make Prince Rui suspicious, what should we do?" What Decai is most worried about now is this, because this matter is really very important to them.
Zuo Qiuwen frowned, and then said: "We have to find a way to strengthen our strength. It would be great if we could control some people in the garrison, but it is not easy to control the people in the garrison. In the end,
The most important thing is that he is still watching."
Decai thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the old slave has an idea. Zhao Hai said before that our empire is now in a state of balance between the royal family and the major families. It is best to have a third party.
A force can be used to balance this state. Is this also applicable to the military?" After Decai finished speaking, he looked at Zuo Qiuwen. He was observing Zuo Qiuwen's reaction. He had been following Zuo Qiuwen for so long.
It was time, and he knew very well when to say what to say. He just wanted to know Zuo Qiuwen's reaction to his words.
Zuo Qiuwen was stunned for a moment, then said: "Go on." He was very interested in what Decai said. He wanted to know what Decai meant, how to balance in the army, and to know the balance in the army.
It's not fun. If you don't do it right, there will be trouble.
Decai said: "In addition to the garrison, there is actually an army here in the capital, and the strength of this army is not bad." Decai stopped talking here, but Zuo Qiuwen immediately said
Now I understand which army Decai is talking about.
"Prince Liu Lie!" Zuo Qiuwen said the name softly. It's true. In the capital star, in addition to the garrison, there is also Prince Liu Lie. Of course, the strength of Prince Liu Lie is not as good as that of the garrison.
Military, but also very strong. If they strengthen the strength of Prince Liuli, can they use the power of Prince Liuli to check and balance the strength of the garrison? But there is also a problem here. If Prince Liuli's
If the prince's strength becomes stronger, will it have an impact on the prince? You must know that if the prince's strength becomes stronger, the prince will have thoughts that he shouldn't have. Such things are too common in history.
Much more.
Zuo Qiuwen stood up and stomped slowly around the room. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "The Prince's Sixth Rate can be strengthened, but it can only be done openly. Secretly, we still need to strengthen our own."
In terms of strength, this time the secret guards are making a big move, it may be a good opportunity. No one knows how many people there are in the secret guards, and no one knows how many people there are in the Royal Horse Prison. We can strengthen their strength.
But there is a problem here, where can we get so many masters who are loyal to us? I'm afraid it's not easy." Zuo Qiuwen murmured as he walked, and Decai also followed him, listening.
After listening to Zuo Qiuwen's words, Decai said softly: "Your Majesty, Zhao Hai's magic circle." He said this softly once again, and this sentence made Zuo Qiuwen stunned, but then he said
His eyes lit up, and then he thought for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "Decai, secretly write a letter to people on other planets and tell them that we are going to conduct a secret experiment now, and we will use
There are a lot of death row prisoners, preferably strong ones, and let them send all the death row prisoners to the Capital Star." De Cai responded without saying anything.
Zuo Qiuwen then said: "Zhao Hai really helped a lot this time, but even if those people come to us, they must make them think that those death row prisoners are really dead.
Only then can we use those death row prisoners."
Decai said solemnly: "It's simple. We can let their dead bodies be seen by others, and then secretly transport their bodies to a place and turn them into ghosts, so that no one will suspect it. After all,
We have seven days, which is enough to do anything."
Zuo Qiuwen nodded, and then said: "But in this case, we need a place to keep them safe. Well, Decai, do you think the area southwest of the palace should be improved again?" Zuo Qiuwen
Wen suddenly said this.
Decai immediately understood what Zuo Qiuwen meant. There was a very special place in the southwest of the palace. There used to be buildings there, but there was a fire there a few years ago. Although the fire was extinguished.
, but a lot of buildings were destroyed, and because there had been many fires there before, Zuo Qiuwen and others thought it was very unlucky, so they just abandoned it without repairing it. In fact, it was a palace.
The area is beyond your imagination. Many places are actually in disrepair, so it is not surprising that there is such a place. Some ministers suggested that it be repaired because there is such a place in the palace.
The place looked very inelegant and dilapidated, but Zuo Qiuwen never took it seriously. The place was always on fire. Zuo Qiuwen really didn't want to fix it, but now he can use this as an excuse.
, repair that place.
After Zuo Qiuwen figured this out, he stopped caring about it and took a rest directly. At this time, in another room in the palace, Zuo Qiuzhi didn't take a rest either, but the lights in his room were still there.
He didn't light it. He lay on the bed with his eyes closed and his breathing steady, as if he was asleep. But in fact, he had been thinking about his meeting with Zuo Qiuwen today.
He thought that Zuo Qiuwen did not doubt him, but still trusted him as before and told him everything. It was precisely because of this that he got a lot of useful information. Zuo Qiuwen thought that Marlowe and the others might be with him.
It is good for him that the major families collude, because in this way, Zuo Qiuwen and others' attention will be attracted by those major families, and they will not doubt him. He will not care about him at this level.
In the past, he was actually quite worried that Zuo Qiuwen would doubt him, but now that he thought about it, he didn't think so. He had no contact with Marlowe. It was the Lao family who came into contact with Marlowe, and in Zuo Qiuzhi's view, Zuo Qiuwen
Qiu Wen and the others could only check this step at most. They couldn't even check the Twelve Company. And he contacted Maro through the Twelve Company. Maro didn't know his existence, so even if Ma Luo
Even if Luo really did recruit something, it would be impossible to recruit him out, so Zuo Qiuwen really had no reason to doubt him.
In fact, Zuo Qiuwen and the others really thought about one thing wrong, that is, they thought that with Marlow's status, it was impossible to be bribed easily, but they didn't know that Marlow was actually a very good person.
Greedy people, the Twelve Company just paid some price to make Marlow turn to them. Zuo Qiuwen and others thought that it would be easy for people like Marlow to get money, but they didn't know.
Marlowe not only wanted to get money, he also wanted to build a family, a big family, like those big families. It was precisely because of this ambition that he slowly fell in love with the Twelve Company.
He wants to borrow the help of the Twelve Company to slowly strengthen his family and make his family as powerful as those big families. So from this point of view alone, Marlowe is not really loyal to Zuoqiu.
Wen, he even thought that if he became a big family, then his family would belong to those big families, so it would not be that difficult for him to be bribed.
