"According to the Holy Majesty's will and your Lord's wishes, Yingfeng and I worked together to sweep through the secrets of the Imperial City Division and eliminated everything that should be eliminated."
Long Chen suffered a big loss this time and of course he wanted to take revenge.
All the hidden stones that could be pulled out were pulled out, but Long Chen kept some of the ones that needed to be kept, such as Wang Wei and a few people around him.
"That's all?"
Long Chen asked a little strangely.
Feng He chuckled and said, "No, Li Chengdao has made a big move."
Long Chen asked: "What?"
Feng He said: "Li Chengdao issued an order and ordered Li Yuanying to take people to Jade Buddha Pass. I guess they want to incite rebellion against Jing Tianlie."
The only person worthy of Li Yuanying's personal intervention is Jade Buddha Pass, Jing Tianlie.
Long Chen's face darkened and he asked: "How do you know?"
This matter is top secret and the Imperial City Department must block the information. How could Feng He get the information?
Feng He chuckled and said: "Sir, when I was in the Tianwei Legion, I placed an informant in the Imperial City Department, and I just put it to use this time."
"Based on this news, do you have to pay more?"
Long Chen said: "No problem, this news is worth the extra money. You can just go to Sifang Building to get the money."
Last time about the Liuwei Dihuang Pills, Long Chen and Hong Qi made a deal, and part of the money was left in Sifanglou, which can be withdrawn directly when needed.
Feng He smiled and said, "My lord, you are generous."
Long Chen was a little confused at this time. According to the original plan, he would first ask the Ministry of War to verify all the soldiers and horses, and then issue food and salary according to the number of soldiers and horses.
Without food and pay, the army cannot support itself, and people's hearts will slowly disperse.
Long Chen wanted to use the method of boiling a frog in warm water to deal with Sedum Lie.
But now that Li Chengdao has taken action, he can provide Jingtian Lie with food and salary, help Jingtian Lie raise his troops, and even help Jing Tianlie secretly expand his troops.
The original plan was to boil the frog in warm water, but now it is roasted on the fire.
"Next, you should do your best to find out the situation of the secret guards. Last time, Qianjiang County arrested a few people and drained them of all information. The secret guards in important towns such as Jingshi, Linjiang City, Caishi City, and Yanmen Pass must all be traced.
clear."
Long Chen couldn't figure it out for the moment, but the secret force of the secret guards must be eradicated. The situation is urgent, so he should take charge of this matter first.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Zhang Qian and Bai Tingting came over talking and laughing.
The two of them went to change the ice, but they didn't expect to be back so soon.
Feng He took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it to Long Chen: "They are all here. Please take a closer look, sir. I will take my leave."
Long Chen accepted the letter and said, "Let me find out all the secret guards and leave no one behind."
Feng He got out of the window, and Zhang Qian and Bai Tingting pushed the door open and came in.
The two of them carried two basins of ice and placed them next to Long Chen.
"What's in your hand?"
Zhang Qian saw Long Chen put the letter away and quickly asked what it was about.
She was worried that two more amateur friends, He Wenbai and Hu Zhiheng, would ask her to go out for a trip.
Long Chen took it out, shook it, and said: "Secret letter."
Zhang Qian saw that Feng Ni on the letter looked familiar, like a secret letter from Feng He, so she did not ask further questions.
Bai Tingting knew that Long Chen had a spy force in his hands, so she didn't ask any questions.
Long Chen sat on the bedside and opened the letter. Zhang Qian and Bai Tingting sat down at the table next to them to chat.
After reading the letter, Long Chen closed his eyes and meditated.
From morning until afternoon, Long Chen sat like this.
Zhang Qian has been standing by, and Bai Tingting has prepared water and food, waiting for Long Chen to say he is hungry.
Long Chen opened his eyes, got off the bed, and said: "Bring my clothes over here, I want to see the saint."
Zhang Qian immediately went to get clothes, and Bai Tingting hurriedly said: "If you don't eat for a day, drink some water and eat something first."
Long Chen took a big sip of tea, ate a few more randomly, changed into court clothes, and went out to Fengming Palace.
Zhang Qian and Bai Tingting followed behind.
When he arrived at Fengming Palace and saw Di Waner, Long Chen bowed and said, "Master Di, I want to see the Holy Master."
Di Waner immediately went in to report.
Not long after, Di Waner came out and said, "Sir, please come in."
Long Chen went in, while Zhang Qian and Bai Tingting stayed at the door waiting.
Di Waner stared at Zhang Qian's breasts for a while, then laughed in a low voice and asked: "General Zhang, your breasts are too big again."
Zhang Qian lowered her head worriedly and said, "Isn't it possible? Is it bigger again?"
These words made Bai Tingting want to kill someone. Zhang Qian always said that her breasts were too big and she was very annoying, but Bai Tingting's breasts were too small, so it was a big deal.
Drought will kill you, and floods will kill you.
Women's joys and sorrows are not the same.
Long Chen entered. The empress was reviewing the memorial, and Yingfeng was waiting beside her.
"The humble minister Long Cheng'en pays homage to His Majesty."
Long Chen bowed and worshiped.
The empress put down the memorial and asked with a smile: "Is everything okay?"
Long Chen bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. I have recovered."
The empress smiled and said: "My harem is full of flowers and trees, but there are no flowers. You went to the wild to pick flowers, and you were pricked all over your body. Will you have a better memory this time?"
Long Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "I remember."
Long Chen lied to Emperor Luo Xi, saying that he had received news and was going to Rouge Lane to catch Nanliang spies.
These words deceived Di Luoxi, but not the empress.
After a thorough investigation, the shadow guard found out that Long Chen was lustful and wanted to visit a brothel.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
The empress stopped joking, and Yingfeng was about to leave, but Long Chen said: "Please stay, Master Yingfeng."
Yingfeng looked at the empress, who nodded slightly, and Yingfeng stayed.
Long Chen took out Feng He's secret letter, presented it to the empress, and said, "The situation has changed. The minister killed Li Yunji, and Li Chengdao became anxious."
The empress took the secret letter and read it carefully. She frowned slightly and her face turned ugly.
"Wei Chen thought that Li Chengdao was cruel and didn't care about Li Yunji's life or death, but it seems he still does."
Li Chengdao was cruel, but he was not cold-blooded. Long Chen's killing of Li Yunji accelerated Li Chengdao's actions.
The empress handed the secret letter to Yingfeng and asked Long Chen: "What do you think?"
Long Chen said: "Things are about to speed up. We cannot allow Jing Tianlie and Li Chengdao to completely collude."
The empress said sadly: "The General's Mansion has been through generations and has deep roots. It has 200,000 Red Flame troops. Although there are fewer ministers attached to the court, its influence is still there."
"Especially the distribution of the secret guards. So far, we have not figured out clearly. Taking action hastily will only cause turmoil."
Long Chen conquered Linjiang City, captured Caishi City, and quelled the pirates. In addition, Hetianxiahui made a lot of money from doing business, and the strength of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty increased significantly. Xixia was worried that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was too powerful, and had already begun to join forces with Nanliang.
At this time, if there was civil strife in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Xixia and Nanliang would definitely attack.
Governing a big country is like cooking a small dish. There must be no big turbulence and stability must be the top priority.
"Wei Chen has been thinking about it for a day and has a plan. Please ask your Majesty to make a decision."
"explain!"
Long Chen told the empress the plan he had been thinking about for a day.
After hearing this, Nuding pondered for a long time, then turned to ask Yingfeng: "What do you think?"
Yingfeng said: "There is no problem with the plan, can it be realized?"
Long Chen said: "I only thought of this one way."
The empress said: "Just do what you said and call Luo Xi over."
Yingfeng went out to deliver the order, and Di Luoxi came in quickly.
"Mother."
Di Luoxi bowed.
Seeing Long Chen here, Di Luoxi knew that there must be something important to discuss.
The empress gave a secret message to Di Luoxi and said: "Things have changed. Go to the South Camp and help Long Chengen train his troops. I want 200,000 troops, who can destroy the Red Flame Army!"
