After leaving the workshop, Li Tong did not return to the forbidden middle school, and returned directly to the Jishan Fang Mansion.

There are not many immediate family members of the king, and now the family members are also living in the house, and they have not been in the mansion for a long time, and the family guards in the mansion are also half dispersed, and the huge mansion inevitably looks empty. In addition to the front hall, there are some royal officials Saruzhi, and there are only some servants in the backyard who are responsible for daily sprinkling and cleaning.

When I returned to the palace, it was almost night. The officials who stayed straight hurriedly greeted them, and after Li Tong entered the hall, he retreated from everyone, leaving only Yao Yuanchong alone.

"Your Highness's trip, it must have gone quite smoothly?"

Yao Yuanchong saw that there was a secret joy between the eyebrows and eyes of the acting king, so he also smiled and asked.

After Li Tong heard this, he nodded: "Lai Junchen, although he is vicious on the outside, he has no character on the inside. This time I have already understood, and after tomorrow, Doulu Qinwang wants to swallow his voice and avoid it, it will be difficult. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Big things are planned, only to know that the power is weak, such as a certain person, you will inevitably have to borrow their skills." Alas, it's hard to stretch your spirit! ”

His emotion is also heartfelt. Now he seems to be tossing in the current situation, but in fact, he is really in the situation, but it has only been more than half a year since he entered the heir and filial piety, although it has also become a major event of Caoyun, but when it comes to the real impact on the current situation, it is still very shallow.

This is also why he has only been away from the Shendu for a few months, and the overall atmosphere in Kinai has been quite unkind to him. In the final analysis, after all, there is still no kind of profound management that breaks bones and tendons, so it is easy to be shaken by people.

The next thing he wants to operate, the more chaotic the situation in the gods, the better, especially the prime ministers of the political hall, must let them have a strong sense of crisis that the fire is about to spread to themselves, so that they will spontaneously have a strong need and impulse to change the current order.

The prime minister is the leader of a hundred officials, and this sentence is not just talking. Although since Wu Zetian took power, the prime minister has killed batch after batch, which seems to be completely undignified, but this also reflects the fear of the prime minister in his heart.

From the perspective of governing the country alone, the system of three provinces and six ministries in the Tang Dynasty has been very perfect. As the highest position in this system, the prime minister has a direct dialogue with the imperial power, and the constraints on the imperial power have always existed.

As long as there are these positions, there will be this kind of constraint, otherwise Wu Zetianda can solve this problem once and for all, and there is no need to set off the politics of cool officials again and again, and the prime minister will be rotated like a marquee.

Her ferocity is only reflected in the persecution of specific human lives, but she still maintains reverence for the system, or her prestige is not enough to cause harm to the system itself.

As long as there is a change in the position of prime minister, the power of the system will be activated immediately, such as the Shenlong Revolution that ended Wu Zhou. The restraint of the prime minister on the imperial power has always existed, but it has always been skillfully divided and ruled by Wu Zetian, so that this power cannot play its role.

When it comes to the cruelty to the system, Wu Zetian is not even as good as her son Li Xian. In the Li Xian dynasty, all kinds of riots flew up, and the power was encroached upon by the magnates of all parties, and the prime minister became a real plaything.

In a unified dynasty, there is no maintenance of the system, how can it be powerful? As a result, Li Longji was beheaded by a young man and directly raided his home. Even if Empress Wei is in calamity to the country, can she have Wu Zetian? I don't have the ability and want to play flowers, but of course the result is that I am being attacked and my head is different.

The reason why Li Tong forced Lai Junchen to target Doulu Qinwang, and the malice was so obvious, was not to get rid of Doulu Qinwang, at least not now. The main purpose is to stimulate Doulu Qinwang's sense of crisis and desire to survive, you old guy has been on a vegetarian meal for a long time, if you don't toss it, then wait for death.

Yao Yuanchong heard the emotion of the acting king, so he sighed and said: "What His Royal Highness intends to do this is to reverse the general trend, which is far from being able to grasp the selfish intentions of the second or third people. Only when people have the same desire and power can the world rush forward. If it is just a small number of people who are doing things by force, it is just an arrogant act of sacrificing one's life and spirit, but it will destroy one's body and add chaos to the world. ”

Yao Yuanchong knew a lot about what the king was planning, and even passed on the book to others, prompting Li Tong to make the current decision to be small and big.

"What is good and evil in this picture, let's see the aftermath."

For Yao Yuanchong's comfort, Li Tong also felt deeply.

The so-called coup d'état has never been a sudden and reckless attack that can succeed when it comes to the occasion. His great-grandfather, Li Shimin, has a real contribution to expanding the territory and starting a business, and has accumulated deep prestige in both military and political circles. Tang Xuanzong Li Longji is the empowerment inheritance of his father Li Dan's forbearance for decades.

Li Tong does not have these conditions, and it is completely impossible to do it on his own. We can only get more people involved, and everyone works together for a common goal.

"Is the military review of the two yayas in Beijing clear?"

Putting aside some distracting thoughts in his heart, Li Tong asked Yao Yuanchong again. Of course, this is not a temporary pre-emptive idea, and the work in this area has been going on all along. Li Tong has long been clear about the ratio of the military strength of the two yas, and if he asks about it now, he will predict some situations that may occur in the future based on the information he has already obtained.

Yao Yuanchong served as Xia Guanlang of the Ministry of War, and of course he was no stranger to these materials.

At present, in the Shendu City, the troops stationed in the north and south are about 50,000. Of course, this is only a data of the Southern Province's registration, and the actual difference is very large.

On the one hand, Xue Huaiyi's expedition this time, the army of the north and south has been transferred, and the specific dispatch number is only known to the political affairs hall.

At the same time, this period is also a node in the rotation of government soldiers. Now that it is late autumn and October, the soldiers in the capital have returned to the place, and the local government has rushed to the capital.

Choosing such a point in time is not only a fallow period, but also the entry and exit of the government soldiers inside and outside, which can also ensure the safety of the various routes into Beijing, and by the way, provide security for the autumn tax goods entering the capital.

Therefore, during this period of time, the number of guards in the Southern Ya Dynasty fluctuated greatly almost every day. The specific number is also known only to the prime minister of the political affairs hall. Although Yao Yuanchong is a summer official in the Ministry of War, he can only make a general estimate through side information such as Kaoxun.

However, Li Tong's information acquisition is not only the way of the summer officials of the Ministry of War, and due to the collapse of the military system year by year, a large number of Zhichong Mansions exist in name only, and there is still no more systematic combing, and some of the Zhichong Mansions have no pawns but can still enter the examination year by year, which makes the information held by the Ministry of War quite old.

If you want to grasp more accurate data, you still need to estimate from the aspects of materials, equipment, and livestock provided by Shangfangjian, Sifu Temple, and even Dianzhong Provincial AMTD Bureau and Dushui Superintendent.

It may be inevitable that there will be a phenomenon of false declaration, but compared with the data of the divisions, the error can be reduced to a minimum, and this is the most reliable way in the case of not being able to get the first-hand information of the political affairs hall.

The so-called never forget, there will be an echo. Li Tong's obsession with Xuanwumen has not been a day or two, and he has also placed a lot of people in the relevant departments in the past half a year, and these people may not all be loyal to the point of seeking great things, but it is not difficult to obtain some of the information in the register of the divisions.

If it weren't for these advance efforts, it would not even be clear how many troops of the two forbidden armies stationed in Beijing are at the moment, so it's still a fart!

Based on these materials, Li Tong estimated that the current strength of the two government forces in Beijing should be between 35,000 and 45,000. The reason why the difference is so large is to leave a variable for the soldiers of the Nanya Zhuwei Mansion. To what extent the government soldiers are vacant at the moment, I am afraid that even his grandmother Wu Zetian and the prime ministers do not know, how can Li Tong know.

According to the maximum estimate, the strength of the two yamen is 45,000.

But not all of them are combat fighting soldiers, similar to the young master soldiers of the left and right Qianniuwei, the three guards of the Southern Ya, most of them are the sons of officials in the guards, and they are stationed in the homes of the powerful ministers to serve as family accounts. Moreover, there are also some craftsmen who are also in the establishment of the Southern Ya Guards.

If this water is squeezed out, then the number of combatable troops stationed in Beijing should be in the early 30,000s.

This number may seem a little small, but even in the early Tang Dynasty when the government soldiers were in their heyday, the book number of government soldiers was more than 600,000, but if you take into account various factors such as the Fan Dynasty, the expedition, and the stationing at the border, the number of troops that can be stationed in Beijing will be more than 50,000.

This figure is estimated to be the sum of the two yayas. Among them, Beiya Yulin plus a thousand horses should be in the early 10,000s. The remaining more than 20,000 were divided by the guards of the Southern Ya.

It can also be seen from this comparison of troops, why is Wu Zetian so able to toss, the prime ministers of Southern Province don't want to get her, the key is that they can't beat her! The troops of the North Ya are concentrated, and they are straight to the inside, which is the elite soldier who grows up.

Although the Nanya army was still superior, it was scattered in more than a dozen Wei Mansions. As long as there are a few guards among them, especially the left and right guards, which are beyond the control of the prime ministers, they can be abruptly abrupt by Beiyazhao's face.

Li Tong's current advantage is that he is the first general in charge of the Suyue Army, and the 3,000 athletes of the Suyue Army are stationed at the foot of the Beibi Mountain, and theoretically speaking, they can be put into the Beiya battle at any time.

But in fact, these 3,000 athletes can only be used as a deterrent, and if they really want to fight the Yulin Army, the victory rate is worrying, not to mention that the Yulin Army itself still has a strong city garrison.

At the critical moment, the only thing he could really use was the more than 1,000 people of the thousand horsemen and the daring warriors lurking in the Shendu City and the old clothes community near Xintan.

But even if this part of the people can strike first, attack them unprepared, and control Ouchi at the first time, they will be dumplings by the two yamen in minutes afterwards. This is bound to happen if there is no other matching strategy.

He really wants to pin all his hopes on the mutiny, and wants to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, not to mention anything else, Fangzhou's third uncle Li Xian laughed so much that his back molars had to be exposed.

Ten years after dropping, Lao Tzu is waiting for this opportunity! I really thought that Lao Tzu was eating in Fangzhou! King Qin, do that stupid nephew, the dignity of the empress, the glory of the Tang Dynasty, Lao Tzu will protect it!

What can you do, but the disgusting person is the first place, Li Xian, the little yellow bird, is simply his mother's guardian little angel. Before he entered Beijing, he basically put an end to the possibility of everyone being one-minded and reversing the Tang Dynasty.

Thinking of Li Xian's stinky shit, Li Tong was also full of resentment, it was precisely considering the existence of his third uncle that he had to take into account the worst situation, and he didn't dare to do the delusion of finishing his work in one battle.
