In the large palace, the female officials and guards stood far away, with only two of them facing each other.
Li Qing nodded:
"The other party has some spies. I have already cleaned up the female officials and eunuchs in the palace and found out that the three of them were subordinates of unknown persons. They have been dealt with."
Su Lu was a little stunned when he heard this, and Li Qing cleaned it up himself.
"It's okay, it's not a bad thing to clean up the palace several times. Now that the country has unified the mainland, all kinds of monsters and monsters have jumped out. We used to guard against the enemies on the surface, but in the future we have to guard against those lurking in the dark.
, an enemy who is ready to bite us at any time.”
Li Qing took a look nearby and lowered his voice and said:
"I received a tip that there are officials in Dingxiang Guard who are of higher rank and are hidden spies of the enemy. Several of my intelligence lines have been cleared."
Su Lu was a little surprised:
"A higher-level traitor?"
Li Qingzheng nodded and said thoughtfully:
"Half a year ago, I received a blood-stained secret letter, saying that there is a hidden force that is targeting Dingxiang Guards, covertly or covertly. It is very urgent."
"Since then, I have broken six hidden lines one after another. The six Dingxiang Guard commanders who reported directly to me have all lost contact. It seems that there is a big net that is tightening silently. The Dingxiang Guards are in the West Pavilion, and the five
Originally, in Diaoyin, they were lost one after another."
Su Lu frowned. The affairs of Ding Xiangwei were complicated and confusing. After the state was stabilized, he gradually let go of it, and the person he reported to Ping Qi gradually became Li Qing.
Looking at Li Qing's style, it seems that he not only has Ping Qi, the governor who reports directly, but also promoted six commanders who report to him. The way he leads Dingxiang Guard is good, but it is a pity that Dingxiang Guard's response is...
It's really a bit unsatisfactory.
"It doesn't matter, since the hidden line has not been dealt with well, then we will directly push it forward."
"The Bingzhou rebellion, the lake bandits must be connected with these people, this force will definitely cause chaos in the capital, order Ping Qi to find all the lurking forces in the capital and take a look at them. If he can't do this, he, the Dingxiang Guard, will
Governor, it’s over too.”
"I have not intervened in the affairs of Beijing and Central China in recent years, but judging from the public response, you should have gathered a lot of political forces and brought them out. Don't be stingy about honors and positions. Those who can make meritorious deeds are more ambitious than those who live in ignorance.
A few leaders are strong."
Li Qing nodded repeatedly.
It didn't take long for the two of them to formulate a three-layered organization to supervise each other layer by layer without reporting to each other, and only deeper layers would know the existence of the shallower layers.
Ping Qi has been very irritable lately.
Since the prince no longer controls Dingxiang Guard, His Majesty has worked hard to reform Dingxiang Guard. As a result, his rights have become less and less, but his responsibilities have increased, making him more and more frustrated.
Because of his own example, the performance of the Dingxiang Guard's guard camps was getting worse and worse, especially the Bingzhou Guard Camp and the Xuanfu Guard Camp, which fell directly and became the sphere of influence of others.
I originally thought that His Majesty was dissatisfied with me. Like Wuyuan, the forces subordinate to His Majesty took control of this guard camp, so I gave up willingly.
Unexpectedly, Bingzhou rebelled, and the lake bandits in Xuanfu also rebelled, which immediately exposed the shortcomings of Dingxiang Guards in these state capitals.
Information flew to Dingxiangwei Yamen like snowflakes, true and false, and Ping Qi couldn't tell which ones were true and which ones were false.
"No more."
Ping Qi threw the various secret reports in his hands on the table, stood up and walked out, greeting several captains under his command.
"Come on, let's go drink wine at Wanhua Tower. We'll do our best on this matter."
Ping Qi's current salary is nearly 30% lower than when it was at its highest. The key is that the power in his hands has been reduced. All kinds of money that originally belong to him have been reduced by more than half. The deputy lieutenant is also keeping a close eye on him.
Life is hard, so why not go drink flower wine?
All the captains stood up and laughed loudly. They put down the military reports in their hands and waved out.
After drinking the flower wine, half of the afternoon had passed, and Ping Qi came back with several captains in twos and threes.
Ping Qi entered the office drunkenly and ordered the clerk on duty:
"Is there anyone coming over today? Does your Majesty have any new orders?"
The boss was trembling and winked at Ping Qi repeatedly, indicating that there was someone in the office.
Ping Qi looked unhappy:
"You're just winking, this is the Dingxiang Wei Yamen. If you have something to do, you can't say it out loud. We are officials, so we can't say it outright. Say, who's here?"
"I am coming."
Su Lu's voice came from the office.
He jumped up and stood upright, looking respectfully at Su Lu who was walking out of the office, with a look of astonishment on his face:
"Your Highness? Why are you here?"
Su Lu was holding a long sword in his hand. When he saw Ping Qi, he couldn't help but tap Ping Qi's chest with the long sword and cursed:
"Look at how you look like a bear. You were drunk during business hours. I can cut off your head now and it won't be a loss for you."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
He straightened his body and spoke loudly.
Su Lu glanced at the nearby Dingxiang Guards captains and cursed angrily:
"One by one, you are all brave enough. In the past, you went to the Dingxiang Guards who used to lurk and assassinate across the southern border. They have all become like this bear. Is it because the treatment of the Yamen of the Han Dynasty was too good and they raised you all?"
He has forgotten his ministry.”
All the captains had their heads hung down and did not dare to speak. They were not equal and had not been pushed down by the prince. If they drank during business hours, the prince would chop off their heads in anger.
Su Lu gave Ping Qi a kick and cursed:
"Stand still here for me. If you dare to leave without sobering up, I will chop off his head."
"Ping Qi, get in here for me."
All the captains breathed a sigh of relief, it was great that they had escaped being beheaded.
Ping Qi patted the dirt on his pants and ordered:
"Stand still, don't make any noise, otherwise I won't be able to save you."
Finally, Qi Qi glanced at Su Lu who had already entered the office, lowered his voice and said:
"Give me some damn snacks. Your Majesty is in charge of the Dingxiang Guards. Our days of domination are here again."
Ignoring the excited looks of the captains under his command, he raised his head and chest, and strode into his office.
Your Majesty, it’s time to take control of Dingxiang Guard again.
"Something happened in the Dingxiang Guard camps. You, the commander, don't want to do it anymore, or you think your head is too strong."
"I am recovering from my illness, and you brought the Dingxiang Guard to me like this. The Dingxiang Guard, which was once the leader of all countries, has become like this. You are the governor."
Ping Qi chuckled and said nothing. He knew that Su Luen valued both power and power and would not just scold him. His good days were coming.
Su Lu ordered:
"Bingzhou is in turmoil due to banditry. If you Dingxiang Guard fails in your duty, your power will be dispersed in the future."
