Lu Hanjiang carefully reviewed what he had done recently. In theory, he should not have any issues with the Xiaoyao Sect. It was really unnecessary for these people to come after him.
From this, Lu Hanjiang fell into deep thinking. His doubts were understood by Xi Qiu, and the considerate senior sister gave him an answer. She only heard her say: "Junior brother, no matter which highness we choose in the end, Jinyiwei
They are all forces that cannot be circumvented."
"Sister, that's right." Lu Hanjiang nodded in agreement.
This is indeed true. Judging from the current relationship between the old emperor and the seven highnesses, if the old emperor lives forever, the way for the several highnesses to ascend to power is to force the palace through a coup.
If the old emperor unfortunately cannot live forever and dies, then judging from the current power and relationships of the seven highnesses, it is almost foreseeable that they will bury the corpse and ignore the armor.
So since there is a need to launch a coup in the capital no matter what, at this point, the role of the Jin Yiwei will be reflected.
First of all, there are other troops stationed near the capital, but coups rely on speed, and the time is usually accurate to the minute. By the time these foreign troops attack, there should be very few people left alive in the palace.
Therefore, during a coup, all parties can usually rely on the army in the capital.
There are only two major forces in the capital that can use weapons, one is the Forbidden Army, and the other is the Imperial Guard.
Both are troops under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor, but their functions are different. The Forbidden Army is responsible for the safety of the emperor, and its composition is extremely complex. In layman's terms, there are multiple agencies in the Forbidden Army, which are not subordinate to each other and are relatively independent. There is no overall commander, and each branch is divided.
Everyone obeys the emperor's orders.
The advantage of this is that it not only ensures the original role and combat power of the Forbidden Army, but also prevents the Forbidden Army from becoming too powerful and threatening the imperial power.
But the disadvantage of this is not small, that is, once something goes wrong with the emperor himself, or the emperor's orders cannot be accurately conveyed to the Forbidden Army, then this army will fall into the embarrassing situation of being leaderless.
Once there is a change in the palace at this time, and the imperial army has not received clear instructions, the most likely or the only possible response is to stand still.
At this time, the role of Jin Yiwei comes into play.
As the only organization that can maintain absolute force in the capital, the Jinyi Guards have commanders who can command nearly ten thousand officers and soldiers with one order.
And among these ten thousand people, except for the warrior guards at the bottom, all the high-ranking Jinyi guards have martial arts. If the Jinyi guards of more than a hundred households are placed in the Jianghu, everyone can be said to be first-rate. In other words, this is a
With just over 10,000 men, an elite army can easily defeat ten times the number of enemies.
Because of this, it is not strange for Xi Qiu to want to win over Jin Yiwei. Since the establishment of Jin Yiwei, almost everyone who wants to change dynasties has wanted to win over this force.
It is a pity that the Jin Yiwei is one of the emperor's most trusted troops, and the commander himself is a close confidant of the emperor. It is extremely difficult to instigate this army to rebel.
But Xi Qiu felt that she could give it a try. She explained: "Junior brother, we don't want to take down the entire Jinyiwei. We only need a part of them to be strong enough, just like your brother."
Lu Hanjiang nodded and said, "That's it."
Speaking of which, everything Qiao Shifang did was not without merit, at least he did a good job of hiding it from others.
Even Lu Hanjiang had to admit that although he knew from the beginning that this person was trying to win people's hearts in Jinyiwei, when the other party actually pulled out four thousand allies in one go, he was slightly surprised by the number.
What Xi Qiu wants to do now is to replicate everything Qiao Shifang did before. To put it simply, he just changes the partner of cooperation from Qianhu to Zhenfushi.
"Senior sister, it's not that junior brother has any opinion on senior brother Chu, it's just that this method... doesn't senior sister think it's ridiculous?"
One thing to say, this is indeed the most sincere advice Lu Hanjiang has ever given to Xi Qiu. He really hopes that the other party will stop immediately. At this time, he really doesn't want to cause trouble.
Unfortunately, Xi Qiu still insisted on going his own way. She said: "Junior brother, don't worry, others don't understand Lu Zhenfu's feelings for that girl. We are hiding it, and he is knowing it. Even if something goes wrong, there will be no harm to us."
When you say "calculate in your mind but not in your mind", do you mean to tell the whole plan completely in front of the other party?
With a helpless sigh in his heart, Lu Hanjiang had no expression on his face. He stopped persuading, and instead asked for some details: "Even if the girl is really brought over as the senior sister said, I don't know how to deal with that Lu Zhen
Can you contact me? Mr. Su Wen Zhenfu is cautious. If Senior Sister leaves a message directly to him, I’m afraid it will all come to nothing.”
Xi Qiu's eyes narrowed slightly and he said: "There is a way to do this. We don't have to personally invite Lu Zhenfu. We can choose an intermediary, as long as we can get close to him without attracting that person's attention."
Lu Hanjiang thought of some possibility and asked tentatively: "If you want to avoid attracting Lord Zhenfu's attention, could it be that Senior Sister wants Junior Brother to try it?"
Xi Qiu shook his head and said: "If junior brother's identity as a Jinyiwei is used well, it will help a lot in the future. It would be too hasty to expose it like this. Don't worry, Lu Zhenfu seems to be alone, but don't forget that he is from the Lu family clan.
.”
After hearing this, Lu Hanjiang made up his mind. He pretended to be confused and asked, "Is it possible that senior sister is also connected with the Lu family?"
Xi Qiu nodded slightly and said: "I met a young lady from the Lu family a few days ago. I have a favor with her. It just so happened that this young lady had some relationship with Lu Zhenfu. I wanted to find an excuse for her to go to the Zhenfu envoy's home.
, I will follow you disguised as a maid, and then you can meet Mr. Lu."
Lu Hanjiang sighed with understanding: "In this case, if Mr. Lu is willing to cooperate, everyone will naturally be happy. If Mr. Lu is unwilling to get involved, it started because of Miss Lu, and the Lu family will bear the brunt of the incident."
Xi Qiu praised: "Junior brother is really quick-thinking. I heard that Lu Zhenfu wanted to return to the clan many times, so even if he chose to refuse, he would not have an attack on the spot."
"Senior sister is a great talent."
Lu Hanjiang stopped talking, but took the initiative to make a cup of tea for Xi Qiu, and even brought it to her with his own hands: "Sister, please."
"Junior brother, you're welcome."
Xi Qiu took the tea, and the two sat face to face. Lu Hanjiang didn't speak, and she quietly sipped the tea.
Perhaps the fatigue of the past few days was finally relieved, and this rare tranquility soothed her tense body. Xi Qiu felt a surge of sleepiness coming over her. She felt something was wrong in her heart. She stood up subconsciously, but was unable to throw herself down.
On the ground.
"Junior brother, be careful, this tea..."
The lingering sound was still in her throat. As Xi Qiu's eyes shook, Lu Hanjiang gently stretched out his hand and closed her eyes for her.
Xi Qiu passed out limply on the floor. Lu Hanjiang picked up the bell on the table and shook it. Two guards disguised as waiters and guards filed in from outside the door and lifted the unconscious Xi Qiu up without saying a word.
"Take it down."
"yes."
After the two people left, Huangfu Xiaoyuan slowly entered, holding a makeup box in her hand: "Sir."
Lu Hanjiang skillfully took out the tools used to disguise himself from the makeup box, and said to Huangfu Xiaoyuan: "You will pretend to be her for the time being. If anything happens, come to this teahouse and contact me."
