"Don't fool me with that grand proposition, the matter of the volley plank road has not been clarified yet. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Even if you can't stop it, then you can always find out who is repairing the plank road, right? If the people in the Northern Xinjiang Theater are doing this, you have nothing to lose, and the imperial court has saved a lot of money!"

"According to the information we have heard, the person responsible for participating in the repair of the plank road is indeed a soldier of the Northern Xinjiang Theater. ”

"That's it, why are you still nervous?"

"The problem is, we also found out that the core people in charge of this project are all from the country of Kitahara. ”

"I'm confused by you, you just said that they are soldiers in the Northern Xinjiang Theater. ”

"They are prisoners of the Northern Plains, and after taking the oath to be included in Dagu, they entered the roster of soldiers in the Northern Xinjiang Theater. Now, they occupy the heart of many aspects of the restoration project, including design, supervision, material preparation and logistics. ”

Xue Ying heard that something was wrong, but at the same time, she had more doubts: "Who arranged such a strange division of labor?"

"Besides the heir of Chuan Shuai, who else do you think has this kind of power?"

"You just said that you can't be sure if this person exists or not. ”

"That's the worst-case scenario. The relationship between the Northern Xinjiang Theater and Dagu has been estranged for too long, and the imperial court probably doesn't know as much about the Northern Theater as the Northern Plains, and even the influence may not be as good as the spies planted by the Northern Plains. ”

"You mean, there is a possibility now that the Northern Frontier Theater has been controlled by the Northern Plains?"

"This possibility cannot be completely ruled out. Taking a step back, even if the Northern Xinjiang Theater does not completely fall under the control of the Northern Plains, what if this new heir colludes with the Northern Plains State? Do you think this is something that a normal person should do if he uses people from the Northern Plains to carry out the repair of the volley plank road?"

"You are really full of distrust of this heir chosen by Chuan Shuai!"

"Chuan Shuai has been in hiding for so many years, how can we trust him?"

"Since the position of the commander of the Northern Xinjiang Theater is vacant, why don't you send people over openly. Even if the Empress Dowager and Princess Yunyang both ask you not to meddle in the affairs of the Northern Frontier Theater, the heir of Chuan Shuai is so irresponsible, the imperial court will have the upper hand in public opinion, right? If he does not appear, the imperial court will have no way to officially canonize him, and he will not be able to officially perform the duties of the marshal, is this not enough?"

"Who said that there is no commander in the Northern Xinjiang Theater now?"

Xue Ying spread her hands: "I'm confused by you again." Did you say that the heir chosen by Chuan Shuai has never appeared for so many years, and it is doubtful whether this person exists, and now where did a big handsome come from?"

"Let's put it this way, the soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Theater have only been loyal to Chuan Shuai for so many years, so that the tiger talisman of the imperial court has become an ornament, and only the personal seal of Chuan Shuai can really mobilize them. In other words, Chuan Shuai has two identities, one is the commander of the Northern Xinjiang Theater who has been canonized by the imperial court, and the other is the commander who really controls the military power of the Northern Xinjiang Theater, and he gave these two identities to different people before he died. The personal seal that could mobilize troops was given to the heir he had chosen, and the false name recognized by the imperial court was passed on to another person at the prior will of the imperial court. ”

"After the imperial court knew that Chuan Shuai was seriously ill, it once issued an edict to appoint an heir?

"If this heir is 100% just an ornament and will not have any impact on the Northern Xinjiang Theater, it will not be considered a violation of the agreement. ”

"No matter how false the name is, it is also the title of the marshal of the northern part of Xinjiang, what kind of person can have this kind of miraculous effect?"

"The Hidden King. ”

"......" After a long time, Xue Ying said very depressedly, "No wonder no one knows about this." "From the cowardly king who can raise a bird into a pig to serve as the marshal of northern Xinjiang, it can really only be a joke, who is really a fool. "What did you think at the time?"

"Chuan Shuai suddenly fell seriously ill, if he died, the balance between the imperial court and northern Xinjiang would be broken, the imperial court did not want to directly recognize his chosen heir, and could not let the position of northern marshal of northern Xinjiang remain vacant so as not to expose the discord between the two sides, so he simply made a decoration. Regarding this, Xue Qi was full of helplessness.

And that unlucky bastard Hidden King happens to be in the north of Xinjiang, with no power, no ability, and no threat, he is a suitable candidate for both sides, and he also saves the court from sending someone all the way, how convenient it is!

"So why did you make things so complicated? Wouldn't it be enough to directly admit the heir chosen by Chuan Shuai in the first place? You don't want to admit the identity of the other party, people are angry and don't want to see you, that's too reasonable!"

Xue Qi paused before saying, "We didn't expect that heir to have such a hard temper. Over the years, the hidden king has stayed in Anjing City and has not played any role, but everything is business as usual in the northern Xinjiang theater, and Dagu has already discussed it, and if it goes on like this, it will be a matter of time before this layer of window paper is pierced. ”

"What if it's broken?"

"Dagu will lose control of the northern Xinjiang theater. ”

"Isn't it already lost a long time ago?" Xue Ying sneered.

Xue Qi sighed: "I'm already so honest, can't you be serious?"

"Okay, okay, to put it bluntly, you want to save face, and you don't want to admit it, so you want to regain the initiative before being exposed. But the family is the heir chosen by Chuan Shuai, even if Princess Yunyang really gives a command? The key is the people's hearts!"

He has not shown up for so many years, and most of the soldiers in the Northern Xinjiang Theater do not know about his existence, so it is not impossible for the imperial court to compete with him for the hearts and minds of the people. ”

"Yes, it's hard to say how much loyalty an heir can have for an heir who hasn't shown up for several years, and now is the best time to take advantage of the situation - aren't you afraid that suddenly sending someone over will provoke this heir and force him to tear his face with you in advance?"

"It's better to scrape the bones to heal than to let everything deteriorate in the dark, and this showdown is a matter of time. Xue Qi's voice suddenly changed, "It seems that you are also in favor of issuing a new letter of instruction?"

"I didn't!" Xue Ying hurriedly denied, and at the same time broke out in a cold sweat. I was almost taken into the ditch by him, this man is terrible!" I'm just assuming, hypothetical. What kind of head-to-head duel, what if you can't really fight? You said that the civil war between the two sides will only make the Northern Plains country take advantage of loopholes, and I don't know how many people will die when the time comes!"

"As long as there is a new letter of command, I am confident that it will not cause a civil war. ”

"Che, I believe you when you say you have faith? It's not you...... Wait a minute. Xue Ying suddenly stopped and looked at Xue Qi suspiciously, "The person you selected to send to the Northern Xinjiang Theater to 'confront' the heir of Sichuan Shuai should not be you, right?"

Xue Qi didn't say anything, and even his expression didn't change, but Xue Ying still understood his acquiescence. "You are a civilian official, how can you be the commander of the Northern Xinjiang Theater?"
