King Liang has done a good job, but for Yuchi Gong, he is still too deliberate.
Regardless of whether Mr. Yin is someone sent by King Liang or not, for Yuchi Gong, King Liang has to guard against him.
Yuchi Gong ordered people to bring the map and spread it on the table. After looking at it for a moment, he issued the decree:
"Hu Feifei, send more people to monitor the movements in Liangzhou and find out whether there are any private mines in the hands of King Liang. It's time to use the people I asked you to select earlier. We will mobilize new weapons from the Ordnance Bureau to transport grain and grass to the following passes.
..."
He asked Hu Feifei to look over, clicked on several places on the map, and told him to increase the quantity and transport it in batches.
Hu Feifei was shocked: "Long live my Lord, this is going to..." a war!
The number of weapons that are not routinely used for training and replacement.
Yuchi Gong glanced at him, and Hu Feifei immediately swallowed the next few words, feeling a turmoil in his heart.
These measures are all related to military warfare, especially the passes highlighted, which are all fortresses to resist the Xiongnu tribe. They form a line with each other, and they coordinate with each other to resist foreign enemies. Internally, they form an encirclement of Liangzhou. p>
Hu Feifei intuitively arranged this arrangement to guard against King Liang. To be precise, he was guarding against King Liang's rebellion!
After Yuchi Gong finished making arrangements, his eyes fell on a certain part of the map.
That place was the place guarded by his brother King Anding - Bingzhou, which bordered Liangzhou and covered many important military towns. It was the place that bore the brunt of the Huns' invasion. Now someone else is guarding it.
He withdrew his gaze and calmly told Hu Feifei that he needed to investigate specifically whether there was anyone in the Bingzhou army who had close ties with other vassal kings in Liangzhou.
The geographical location of Bingzhou guarded by King Anding is very important. Once several of the pass fortresses are breached, the enemy will drive straight into the capital.
As King Anding died unexpectedly a few years ago, Yu Chigong believed that someone had a grand plan and had to let his brother die to achieve his goal, so he needed to focus on precautions.
Only the Department of Internal Security can do these things without anyone noticing, especially the matter of transporting weapons to various passes in batches.
Hu Feifei had a good idea. One of the reasons was that the emperor was on guard against the King of Liang. His uncle's fiefdom was a borderland, bordering many foreign states, and Bingzhou was also bordering the Huns.
It's just that the land in Liangzhou is barren, and many supplies such as food, ceramics, cloth, and tea have to be transported from the Central Plains, so the Huns harassed them less. In contrast, the Huns preferred to rob rich places.
But Liangzhou cannot be ignored. It is rich in minerals and the mining is heavily guarded by the imperial court.
If the vassal king wanted to rebel, the first step was to recruit troops, and the second step was to make weapons.
Yu Chigong paid close attention to the mining volume and circulation of minerals in various places every year. He didn't see any problems in Liangzhou, but he had to prevent Liang Wang from having a well-hidden private mine.
Secondly, in addition to guarding against the King of Liang, Yuchi Gong also wanted to strengthen the military strength at the border and replace the defenses to prevent infiltration and nip problems in the bud.
These are what Yuchi Gong has planned and wanted to do long ago, and since then, the inferior weapons in the border camp have been replaced, generals have been replaced, and defenses have been changed regularly, but these are just passive defense methods.
What we need to do now is to be one step ahead and take the initiative.
At that time, whether it was to prevent the vassal king from rebelling, to resist the Huns' invasion, or even to actively attack the enemy, he was in a favorable position.
After explaining the above-mentioned matters, Yu Chigong continued to talk secretly with Hu Feifei for a long time with a solemn expression. Everything involving the vassal king and the alien nation was of great importance.
He transferred Hu Feifei from the Shadow Guard to the Internal Security Department for one of his purposes, which was to allow Hu Feifei to select credible and suitable candidates to carry out these orders. Now it is a matter of course.
Hu Feifei kowtowed and gave orders.
After making these arrangements, Yu Chigong asked: "Is there any news about Mr. Yin's arrest?"
Hu Feifei apologized: "This slave is incompetent. This person entered the capital, entered the mud, and entered the sea to search for nothing."
Yuchi Gong nodded slightly and said thoughtfully: "This man is cunning and can be sent to the capital to do things. His master is not sure that he is in my hands now, so he will definitely send a killer to eliminate the roots and pay attention to the trends in the capital."
"Yes." Hu Feifei responded, remembering a report: "Long live Lord, I don't know who instigated Concubine Kang over at Shoukang Palace. She has been quite complaining recently. She kept mentioning that the former emperor had good food and clothing when he was here. She wants to join the other concubines.
The concubine stirred up trouble and attacked the Queen Mother."
There were some things that Hu Feifei didn't dare to say, so Concubine Kang simply told her that the late Emperor had left, that the Queen Mother was being unkind, depriving them of their expenses, and that the Emperor was unfilial, and ignored them.
Yuchi Gong was not surprised by Concubine Kang's actions. She was the biological mother of King Kang. She was very confused and had been easily instigated and exploited in the past.
He summoned people: "Tomorrow, my decree will be conveyed. It is touching that the concubine misses the late emperor. From today on, I will ask them to burn incense, fast and pray for the late emperor for a month. If there is anyone who misses the late emperor deeply, I will allow them to leave the palace."
Keeping vigil for my father..."
When Yuchi Gong said this, he smiled slightly: "If you still can't relieve the pain of missing me, your emotions will be overwhelming. I can't stop you, so I will go and be with my father."
The person who came here takes the order and leaves.
Hu Feifei thought to herself on the sidelines, just let those concubines do it. Do you think she can stay out of instigating Concubine Kang to cause trouble?
You are so naive, look at the attitude of Long Live Master who treats everyone equally. One person is doing it, and the others are all sitting together. Sooner or later, these people will have to put themselves in the coffin.
After talking about the incident of the concubine causing trouble, Hu Feifei then mentioned something. In pursuit of the two evil insects, he discovered that Chen Cairen had appeared near Shoukang Palace recently, as if he was investigating something.
Yuchi Gong nodded and said he understood. It was a person used by little thieves to catch thunder and catch big fish.
He asked Shoukang Palace and the Harem if anyone had secret contact with Chen Cairen.
Hu Feifei shook his head, not noticing it yet.
Yuchi Gong thought that the little thief wanted to catch a big fish, but he was afraid that he would not be able to take the bait.
Thinking of the little thief, he thought of all the abnormalities in her today, and finally felt uneasy, so he dismissed Hu Feifei and headed to Tingli Courtyard late at night.
Early the next morning.
Lihua woke up feeling refreshed and felt like she had dreamed of a monster last night.
She sat up and thought about it, but couldn't remember what dream she had. She subconsciously wanted to hug the pillow, but found that it was not in her arms.
Lihua turned around and took a look, oh, it was on the bedside, where she slept on it last night.
But last night she obviously slept in his arms? Lihua felt a little confused, but didn't think much about it.
After waiting, I simply freshened up and opened the pear blossoms to take a look.
Oh, except for Zhichun, all the children from the West Side Hall are waiting outside the hall.
In the past, Lihua and Zhichun were the first to get up, followed by Xiaoshunzi and Zhengzi. Zhidong was usually busy in the kitchen.
I didn’t expect everyone to be so early today.
Lihua thought that everyone had matured after what she had experienced yesterday when she fainted.
I'm just too worried about her. Look at her haggard expressions and the panda eyes on her face. She hasn't slept all night.
Lihua shook her head helplessly, she still had to let the children exercise more, so as not to be frightened by the wind and waves, and they would not be able to sleep well at night and how to work during the day.
She took the time to ask where Zhichun had gone, and it turned out that he had gone to wash up.
Lihua was full of energy and encouraged several people. Today is a brand new day, so cheer up!
She comforted everyone that there was nothing wrong with her. From now on, she should eat, drink and sleep, and there was no need to worry so much that she couldn't sleep.
Zhidong scratched her head and felt that her master had misunderstood. She was worried about her master, but it was not because she couldn't sleep that she lost energy, but because she didn't sleep.
Xiao Shunzi and Xiao Zuozi were used to seeing each other, so they didn’t think they had anything to say.
