Even Prince Rui thought that this transfer was not appropriate. He said calmly that it was the Imperial Academy's offering of wine. He was full of bookishness, but he was asked to take care of money. It was not appropriate. King Huai had never been an official in the court and was not prestige enough. How could he be in charge of the inner treasury?
?
Yu Wenhao explained: "This is just to make follow-up arrangements. It is really not important, but I will make arrangements while I have time."
Prince Rui sighed softly, he was young and nervous after all.
The season of fire, the fifth day of the lunar month.
The banquet with Prince Pingnan was held at Yuelai Inn, and the time was set at 3:30 noon.
At three quarters of noon, when the sun was in the sky, everyone wished for an auspicious occasion.
Since the morning, the Prince of Chu's Mansion has been on standby. The city gates have been blocked since yesterday, and all entry and exit need to be strictly inspected.
The Jingzhao Prefecture dispatched a large number of patrols to inspect the central part of the capital. Anyone who found suspicious people would be detained first.
At the end of the Chen period, Gu Si set up defense and dispatched most of the imperial troops to guard the various gates of the palace.
Except for Gu Si's transfer, which was carried out in full view of the public, the transfer of all other personnel seemed to be invisible.
King Wei, King Qi, and Fourth Master Leng have all disappeared. Instead, the Beiying Army has been surging secretly. King An once stayed in Beiying for a while, and many generals from Beiying once followed Di Weiming. Now,
Although General Reckless and Lu Yuan were sent to the army, they were assigned to the armory and had no control over the mobilization of the army. This made people worried.
The Beiying army is now divided into three parts. There are about 50,000 people stationed in the capital. The total number of those sent by King Sun to the southern Xinjiang and suppress the bandits on his own initiative is also 50,000 to 60,000. In other words, in addition to patrols in the capital,
Together with the imperial army and the soldiers of various yamen and princes' palaces, there are only these 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers.
And of course, there are forces lurking among the people here, such as the Lenglangmen and the Hongmeimen.
These Yu Wenhao's people, whether they are emerging or lurking, can actually be counted on the fingers.
But Hong Lie's people cannot be counted. I don't know if there are any of his people in the Forbidden Army. I don't know how many civilians are his people. I don't know how many officials in the DPRK are his people. They are active in Beijing.
I don't know if all those martial arts people are his.
Even so, Yu Wenhao still went to the appointment with several ghost guards. Of course, there were also soldiers from the Chu Palace. Hundreds of people arrived at the Yuelai Inn.
The soldiers lined up in two lines at the Yuelai Inn and guarded the gate. Several ghost guards accompanied Yu Wenhao to the second floor.
Before Hong Lie came, Yu Wenhao put his hands on the railing and looked at the glazed eaves of the imperial city. The midday sun was so fierce that the glazed tiles could not be seen directly. The golden light reflected back was painful.
People are coming and going on Qingluan Street. This is one of the most prosperous streets in the capital. It sells high-end goods, so most people are wearing makeup and neatly dressed. Seeing so many people guarding outside the Yuelai Inn
People were a little surprised and walked around, not daring to get close.
The ghost guard was searching everywhere in the inn to see if there was an ambush. He would report after a while, "Your Highness, we have checked and there is no ambush."
Yu Wenhao nodded slightly, "Then just wait."
He raised his robe and sat down, while the waiter sat down to tea with trembling legs. Today's big battle was too scary.
After Yu Wenhao drank a cup of tea, he heard the ghostly figure saying: "Your Highness, Prince Pingnan is here."
