"How much can it be increased to?" the third prince asked.
Lu Qingbai tentatively said: "Your Highness, there are 1,200 people, which is the largest number at present."
"You think of a way to increase the number of people to 1,500, and then think of a way to increase it to 2,000. Two thousand is my bottom line," the third prince said.
The two thousand well-trained Jinyi Guards are no longer inferior to the Royal Forest Army in terms of combat effectiveness.
With this trump card, the three-legged situation was truly established.
The third prince became more and more excited as he thought about it.
Lu Qingbai gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "Yes."
Although Lu Qingbai's purpose is to cause chaos in Jingyang, chaos can be divided into big chaos and small chaos. If it is a small chaos, King Pingxi will have no chance at all.
And if you want to cause a big mess, you need a certain amount of planning.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is as difficult to mess up a country as it is to govern it well.
The opposite result is that Lu Qingbai, who clearly planned to be a rebellious minister, was more eager to stabilize the situation in the court.
Otherwise, it would be really difficult for him to carry out his machinations.
The third prince was a variable in this, and something could happen at any time. Lu Qingbai also complained secretly.
"By the way, how should these Jin Yiwei be trained? Brother Xian, you are the Prince of Pingxi. How about using the same method you used to train the soldiers to train Jin Yiwei?" the third prince asked with a smile.
After planning the route, the third prince became more and more happy, and his joy was almost beyond words.
Lu Qingbai shook his head and said: "Your Highness, my senior brother Ren Xiaoyao has studied with his master since he was a child. He is well versed in the art of war. No formation can defeat him. If you let him help your Highness train the Jinyi Guards, nothing will go wrong."
"This..." The third prince pondered.
It is okay to let Ren Xiaoyao train. If Ren Xiaoyao takes the opportunity to cultivate a direct lineage in the Jin Yiwei, will the Jin Yiwei belong to him or to Lu Qingbai in the future?
Lu Qingbai secretly cursed an idiot, "Your Highness, you can designate the commander of the Jinyi Guards, and the position of Governor of Dongchang is naturally in charge of Mr. Wang."
"That's good." The third prince showed a happy smile again. At this moment, the more he looked at Lu Qingbai, the more satisfied he became.
Even the previous unhappiness and knots were gone.
Lu Qingbai just snorted coldly, hiding his dissatisfaction very well.
From the proposal to the training of the Dongchang, it was all completed by him and Ren Xiaoyao, but in the end he had to take advantage of the third prince, how could he be willing to accept it?
However, he was not firmly established in the imperial court, and it was really inappropriate for him to have conflicts with the third prince now, so he could only try to deal with it slowly.
Later, the third prince held a banquet and called several women to accompany him to drink and have fun.
It's a way to celebrate this major victory in the future.
…
"Expanding the recruitment of Jin Yiwei?" Zhao Xiaole was stunned after receiving the news.
Although he guessed that Dongchang would make some moves, he did not expect that it would take the path of recruiting more soldiers and expand the Jinyiwei as soldiers.
"Mr. Factory, do you need Xichang to send someone to them?" Qinglong asked.
Zhao Xiaole nodded, "Send some of the spies and our own people to focus on supporting our own people. If the spies dare to escape, I will arrest them."
"Yes, Mr. Factory, there was a spy who tried to escape today. He was caught by our people and is now in jail." Qinglong reported.
Zhao Xiaole: "What are the results of the interrogation?"
Qinglong replied: "Not yet."
Zhao Xiaole said coldly: "If the trial doesn't come out, stop it. I will go see him before the execution today."
"yes."
After Qinglong finished his report, he left.
Zhao Xiaole was lost in thought. If there were spies among the four killers, how would he find out?
Also, since the spy has been interrogated, why hasn’t anything been revealed?
Zhao Xiaole still believed in Xichang's methods. If Xichang couldn't find out, it could only mean that the other party really didn't know.
If the other party doesn't know, then of course he is not a spy.
This is easy to reason about.
Perhaps, we can find some clues to the spy from this person.
Zhao Xiaole thought of this and nodded secretly.
At this time, Hongni's urging voice came over, "Master Marquis, everyone is waiting for you!"
"I'm coming right now."
Zhao Xiaole responded, got up and went out.
Tonight, I promised to have hot pot with all the ladies, and also to entertain Princess Loulan.
In the living room, two tables have been set up.
One table only has three places, while the other table has many places.
This is to take care of Princess Loulan, so we did not put all the places together, because when Princess Loulan is eating, if there are too many people around, her true appearance will inevitably be seen.
Is it true that one look at this face will turn you into an immortal?
You really don’t even look at it!
Zhao Xiaole complained secretly.
Everyone else is already waiting, especially Zhongmei, who inevitably whispers when they see Zhao Xiaole.
Zhao Xiaole has been too busy recently, and they have no chance to meet. Naturally, they were extremely excited to meet.
Qin Sining felt sullen and clenched his fists unconsciously.
These little bastards.
Her appearance made Princess Loulan laugh secretly.
In fact, since Zhao Xiaole has been busy recently, Zhongmei has also been busy. Sansanniang often goes to the Chamber of Commerce and occasionally helps Qin Sining manage it.
Li Qingque had nothing to do but study and occasionally went to the lecture hall to listen.
Wang Chaoyun's studies were average, but he started to learn female celebrities, which he often used to pass the time.
Zhao Xiaole nodded secretly. He had already positioned several women, including female white-collar workers, female students, and ladies.
Whether it's diversified development or not, it all belongs to him anyway.
Shape it slowly first, wait for the future temperament to develop, and then harvest the fruit when it matures.
"Your Majesty is really very lucky." Princess Loulan said with a smile.
There were only three people at this table: her, Zhao Xiaole and Qin Sining.
Hearing this, Zhao Xiaole smiled bitterly and said, "Princess made fun of her. They are just some girls at home. They are used to playing around."
Qin Sining coughed and said, "Xiao Le, the third assessment is about government affairs. What kind of government affairs do you think I should do?"
Zhao Xiaole had already thought about this problem for her.
Zhao Xiaole smiled and said: "It's very simple, you just handle the case of the Criminal Department."
With Xichang and Zhao Xiaole helping behind the scenes, and relying on handling prison sentences to improve political performance, it can be described as a bug-like existence.
Zhao Xiaole's only worry was that going too far would make Lu Qingbai jump over the wall, so he just had to take his time.
Qin Sining also nodded after hearing this.
She immediately understood what Zhao Xiaole meant.
In today's cabinet, Qin Sining and Lu Qingbai are equally divided. The Ministers of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice are both from the crown prince. Whenever they encounter problems, they will take the initiative to side with Qin Sining. On the other hand, Wang Yuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministers of the Ministry of Work and the Ministry of Rites
.
They may be members of the Crown Prince and the Queen, and they know how to stick together when trouble comes and take the initiative to stand by Lu Qingbai's side.
