What Lao Jianhua asked Wei Zixuan to do is not difficult or simple.

After Bao Yuchun's connection, the Japanese pirates hiding on the Kuohai Islands have agreed to the plan to harass the Shengtang.

It is initially estimated that within the next month, 30,000 to 40,000 Japanese gangsters will land on the northern coastal prefectures and cause large-scale destruction.

Lao Jianhua instructed Wei Zixuan to try his best to stabilize Li Bing first and not let the main forces of the court intervene too early in the early stage, so that the Japanese pirates can successfully occupy some important cities and form a certain scale of climate.

This is very important. If the Japanese pirates cannot stand firm and are driven out of the sea by the imperial army in just a few seconds, then the so-called rear restraint will be impossible.

Wei Zixuan felt a headache about this.

He could foresee that once those savage and cruel ronin came ashore, they would definitely be more beastly than animals. If they were allowed to rampant without any scruples, burn, kill, plunder and loot, rape, and women, and the local prefectures would not be bombed.

It's weird if the pot is.

At that time, countless memorials for help flew to the imperial capital like snowflakes. How should Wei Zixuan delay it?

However, Lao Jianhua's instructions were not ignored. Not only did they have to be done, but they also had to be done well. Because the last time Li Jiangyao came to the imperial capital to play a strategy to lure the enemy into the deep, Wei Zixuan failed to detect it in time, which led to Bao Yuchun's death.

A general was lost in vain, plus 60,000 troops. Lao Jianhua was furious about it and kept threatening to deal with him.

Wei Zixuan thought about it and finally figured out a solution that was not a solution.

Some time ago, Dong Tianxing, the Minister of War, wrote a memorial to the Emperor, hoping to recruit another group of new recruits in case of the next anti-rebellion war. Due to the position, this suggestion was rejected directly by Wei Zixuan.

For this reason, Old Dong came to argue with him, hoping that he, the Secretary Zuo Pushe, would not interfere with it.

At the moment, Wei Zixuan recalled the matter again and said: Just let’s go with the flow!

Pretend to agree to the request of the Ministry of War, and then use the excuse of grain and agricultural taxes to suppress the task of recruiting new recruits to the eastern coastal prefectures. In this way, if the Japanese gangsters invade, they will propose to the emperor that there will be a large number of eastern prefectures.

For troops, there is no need to mobilize the main force to conquer.

In this way, when those useless new recruits were completely defeated by the ronin, it must have been a long time since then, and the Japanese pirates should gradually gain a foothold.

After figuring out this trick, Wei Zixuan immediately found paper and pen, and drafted corresponding opinions based on the Ministry of War's conscript. The next morning, Wei Zixuan reported his proposal to the Emperor in front of all civil and military officials.

After hearing his opinion, Li Bing felt it made sense.

First, in order to resist the Turkic invasion, the soldiers in the Central Plains, Hebei and other places were very expensive, so we should not recruit new soldiers from these places to avoid affecting the local farming harvest. Second, the eastern local prefectures have the convenience of water conservancy, and the people of the people

Most of them are familiar with water. In the future, the rebels in the Southern Expedition will most likely be used.

So Li Bing immediately made the decision, led by the Ministry of War and cooperated with the Ministry of Revenue to recruit new government troops in Jiaodong and the Lianghuai areas and speed up training, waiting to supplement the needs of each main force in the future.

Seeing that his plan succeeded, Wei Zixuan couldn't help but feel secretly happy. After a while, he immediately urged his subordinates to send the imperial orders to the eastern prefectures and conscripted soldiers immediately.

Just as Wei Zixuan was vigorously implementing his strategy, a pair of sharp eyes were staring at him from behind, and the master of that gaze was Li Xi, Princess Fenyang who was in the Prince Consort's Mansion.

"Princess, people are still under our control," Shi Feng reported: "Although the Beiya Nilinsi took the lead in raiding Hongxiuzhai and disrupted our surveillance, Wei Peng did lead a new face from Anle

Fang returned to Zuopushe Mansion. We secretly checked the man's background. He came from Jiangnan and his public identity was a silk merchant named Wang Liang. But after entering the Wei Mansion, he transformed into Wei again.

Peng's deputy."

Li Xi said happily: "Jiangnan? That's great, this is an important gain. Can Wang Liang be secretly arrested?"

Shi Feng shook his head: "Wei Peng is very close to seeing him, and he takes him everywhere he goes, and there are guards around him. As long as they don't leave Zuo Pushe Mansion, it will be difficult for us to start."

Li Xi thought for a while and asked again: "What's going on with Nilinsi? Why did they also focus on Hongxiuzhai? Have you figured out this matter?"

"I've basically figured it out." Shi Feng apologized: "According to the internal eyeliner report, this matter is all due to negligence in the job. Zhu Junjie, the new flagship commander of the three departments of the Nislinsi, has dealt with me, so he is also paying attention to it in secret.

My actions. He found that Bei Zhi had been paying attention to Hongxiuzhai recently, so he reported it to Tian Mu, and then he raided there by accident."

Hearing this, Li Xi said in a deep voice: "Nilinsi is an imperial private soldier. Since they know your identity, I am afraid that this palace will not be able to escape from His Majesty's eyes. You have to be more careful in the future."

Shi Feng bowed and replied: "Yes, the humble position will be more cautious."

"The situation in the imperial capital is very complicated at the moment, far beyond our imagination," Li Xi continued to analyze: "If Wei Zixuan was the undercover agent of the Jiangnan rebels, then Tian Mu's position would become confusing. If he also turned to Wei Zixuan,

Our situation will be extremely unfavorable.”

Shi Feng said: "Bizhi believes that the situation may not be that serious. If Tian Mu was also Wei Zixuan's person, Hongxiuzhai would not have had any accidents."

"Well, your speculation makes sense." Li Xi nodded slightly: "We might as well make a bold assumption first. Wei Zixuan is Wei Zixuan and Tian Mu is Tian Mu. They each have their own masters, but they are all hostile to us.

So what about other people? For example, Yin Chengyi and Gong Chengze?"

Shi Feng thought for a while and said, "Yin Chengyi may be Wei Zixuan's accomplice, but Gong Chengze is obviously closer to Tian Mu. Both of them are the kind of people who are greedy for power and are just obsessed with profit."

"In other words, Tian Mu and Gong Chengze were only used by Wei Zixuan, or they were tied to Wei Zixuan for their own selfish interests?" Li Xi said while thinking.

Shi Feng nodded: "It's probably the case. Although they are full of hostility towards the Great Protector, General Murong and the Xinjiang Army, our real enemy at the moment should be Wei Zixuan first."

Li Xi looked at the table with her finger and analyzed: "Wei Zixuan learned through Xiaoting that this palace was going to Xiangji Temple to worship Buddha, so she deliberately arranged for Jinghui Ni to block the road to meet, and then secretly sent someone to send evidence of framed Shen Changshi to

When our mansion was invaded, when our palace went to sue the emperor for rescue of his brother, he encouraged Tian Mu to attack Shen Changshi."

"Later, the wedding was attacked by poisonous soldiers and assassins, and Wei Zixuan took this opportunity to frame the army and suggested that the emperor send troops to suppress it. The prince consort and General Xu were placed under house arrest in the Yeting Palace because of opposition. Fortunately, the Great Protector returned to the imperial capital in time and put it on the ground. A series of conspiracies resolved.”

"Afterwards, Wei Zixuan realized that Xiaoting might be a flaw, so he asked the butler Wei Peng to find Wen Zan, impose coercion and temptation, and ordered him to secretly get rid of Xiaoting, so that he would be able to finish it. Even if Wen Zan was arrested, Wei Peng could still be called on. Denied it, and put it all in a clean way.”

Speaking of this, Li Xi looked up at Shi Feng and sighed: "It's so dangerous. It almost made Wei Zixuan succeed several times. In that case, not only will Chen Lie die unjustly, but the court and the army of the border would also fall into a melee. Most of the time, this palace cannot escape the fate of being assassinated by Xiaoting."

Shi Feng nodded slightly: "That's right. Fortunately, most of the protectors turned the tide, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."

Li Xi fully agreed with this: "Brother Jiang Yao is a gift given to the Holy Tang by God and a pillar of the dynasty. Whether it is the Li family or the soldiers and the people, they should be grateful."

She paused a little, then sighed: "However, the current situation still cannot be relaxed at all. Wei Zixuan was appointed as the Minister of Shangshu Zuo Pushe, and was deeply favored by the Emperor, and the Minister of Shangshu Ling and the Minister of Shangshu You Pushe unfortunately died in the assassin. In his hands, he is the prime minister in the court, and almost no one can check or balance it. If we don’t have solid evidence in our hands, let alone cannot defeat him, even his gangsters will probably not be their opponents."

"That is why the Protector asked General Murong to leave the imperial capital temporarily." Shi Feng said: "Only by staying away from the court and being in the army, can we avoid the open and secret arrows here and wait for the opportunity to counterattack. And we also received the order of the superiors and must sacrifice our lives. Keep your safety.”

Li Xi smiled: "I am not afraid of them! I am scheming and tricks, but women may not be worse than men. As long as Wei Zixuan and others do not send troops to use swords and guns, I am confident to deal with them to the end!"

Shi Feng has deeply understood Princess Fenyang's strength and decisiveness during this period, and is also very impressed. He bowed and said loudly: "If the princess has any plans next, please give her instructions."

Li Xi thought for a moment and said, "The first step is to hide for a while, just help me in the dark, and to avoid them from the sight of Ni Linsi to avoid them from experiencing any troubles from you."

Shi Feng replied: "The same is true for the lord of the Imperial Capital Branch, and let the humble official try to act in secret."

Li Xi nodded and then said, "From now on, your intelligence department should do your best to keep an eye on Wei Zixuan, including all the servants in his family, and no matter how big or small it is, even if it is a bitch from Zuo Pushe Mansion. All the kids must know it immediately.”

Shi Feng laughed in silence: "Okay, let's do our best!"

"The third point is that all Wei Zixuan's memorial proposals must be carefully analyzed, investigated the reasons and real purpose behind them, and informed the Protector in a timely manner so that he can take some precautions."

"I understand that I must pay more attention to the eyes in the imperial city."
