Li Xun slept until noon, and then woke up, he didn't wake up by himself, but was woken up.

"What's wrong?"

Li Xun walked out of the room with his clothes on.

Hu Zengsi half-knelt and saluted, and immediately reported after getting up: "My lord, Yu Wenzhen led the 50,000 troops of the forbidden army, and entered the city half an hour ago to take over the city defense and security of the entire Fengjing, and immediately announced that two hours later, the whole city began to have a curfew and martial law. ”

"What's wrong with the Wing King and the others?"

Li Xun's face changed slightly, this is the most severe military martial law, much heavier than the general curfew, although Yu Wenzhen is the general of the forbidden army, but he only has the right to command, and does not have the right to transfer troops, he suddenly led 50,000 troops into the city, he must have received Zhao Xun's order to transfer troops, and Zhao Xun suddenly transferred Yu Wenzhen and other 50,000 troops into the city, it must not be done at random, is there something wrong with the palace, or is there something wrong with the Yiwang and them?

Hu Zengsi replied: "My subordinates have arranged a large number of secret agents around the Yiwang Mansion, and asked the person in charge of the scene, no matter if there is anything abnormal, to report to me every three hours. ”

Speaking of this, Hu Zeng paused, sorted out his thoughts a little, and then continued: "Since the poisoning of the Wing King to the present, for more than three months, he has not left the palace for a single step, and there are very few officials who go to meet him, almost behind closed doors, and his subordinates have sent people in to investigate the truth, except for the guards who have strengthened a little, there are no other abnormal behaviors. ”

"Too ordinary is the biggest anomaly."

Li Xun shook his head, and after listening to Hu Zengsi's report, he always felt that something was wrong, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't think of a clue.

Immediately, Li Xun didn't think much about it, anyway, Zhao Xun rejected himself, so why bother himself? Anyway, judging from the current situation, Zhao Xun will definitely be able to succeed to the throne smoothly, thinking too much, that is, the dog is meddling with rats.

Hu Zengsi reported some news again, but it was not very important, Li Xun waved his hand, signaling that he could leave.

Hu Zeng bowed and bowed, turned around and left.

Looking at the back of Hu Zengsi leaving, Li Xun always felt that everything in his heart was so wrong.

"Come back."

Li Xun finally called Hu Zengsi out loud.

"My lord's command."

Hu Zengsi returned to hug his fist and ask for instructions.

Li Xun walked back and forth, pondered for a while, and asked aloud: "How many elites are there in the capital?" ”

Hu Zengsi thought for a moment, and then quickly understood what Li Xun meant, the number of people in the secret guard in the capital exceeded 2,000, and the elite ones were about 500.

"There are 500 people, of which 200 are full-time investigators, and more than 300 people, all of whom are knights and dead soldiers recruited from all over the world, and their skills are extraordinary."

Li Xun nodded, approached Hu Zengsi, and said in a low voice: "Transfer all these dead soldiers to me." ”

Hu Zengsi glanced at Li Xun in surprise, but didn't ask much, took the order, and turned to leave.

"Brother Li Xun, what are you muttering to that big brother?"

Zhen'er jumped over and took Li Xun's hand and asked.

Li Xun touched Zhen'er's head and said with a smile: "Don't ask too much about adults, children." ”

Zhen'er was very obedient and didn't ask much, then pouted and said with some grievances: "My father and sisters have gone to play, so I am happy, my mother stays at home all day and does not go anywhere, I also want to go out to play, I am afraid that my mother will not agree." ”

Li Xun pinched Zhen'er's little face and said with a smile: "I'm going to the manor tomorrow, and I'll definitely bring you with me then." ”

"Great, great, if Brother Li Xun says, my mother will definitely not object."

When Zhen'er heard this, she was immediately very happy and jumped up.

"Go to your mother, stay in your room today, and don't go anywhere."

"I know, what Brother Li Xun promised, you can't go back."

Zhen'er left with a happy face.

At dusk, Li Zhong was finishing eating at home, and the housekeeper came in a hurry and whispered in Li Zhong's ear.

Lu Baijiang is here again? He brought Zhao Xun's order in the morning and talked to him for a long time, how long has it been, why did he come again, Li Zhong felt a little strange, but he didn't ask more, nodded and ordered the housekeeper.

"Take him to the study, I'll be right there."

"Yes, sir."

The butler answered and turned to leave.

Li Zhong picked up the bowl and continued to eat, and after eating, he got up and went to the study.

"The lower officials see Lord Zuo Xiang."

Li Zhong pushed open the door and came in, and Lu Baijiang hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Sit down and talk."

Li Zhong waved his hand and signaled not to be polite.

The two sat down separately, and Lu Baijiang spoke first: "The 50,000 forbidden troops have entered the city, and the overall situation has been decided, but for some reason, I still have seven up and eight in my heart, so I came to visit, and I want to hear the high opinion of Lord Zuo Xiang." ”

Li Zhong sighed: "What else can I say? The order I wrote was to transfer the army of Huang Hua, the left army of the forbidden army, to enter the city, but it was Yu Wenzhen's army that came in in the end, and the prince still had reservations about me! ”

Li Zhong is not only the left minister of the political hall, but also the secretary of the military department, and Zhao Zhi gave him the right to dispatch the forbidden army and act cheaply, which is an absolute trust in Li Zhong, and this right was not possessed by Liu Wei earlier.

If Zhao Xun wants to send troops into the city, even if he is the crown prince in charge of the country, he must also get Li Zhong's consent, if Li Zhong does not agree, Zhao Xun cannot mobilize a single soldier, of course, this is all in Zhao Zhiwei's death, Zhao Xun is still the prince, as long as he does not succeed to the throne for a day, no matter how big his power is, the system is the system, the prince is the prince, and it belongs to the core rights of the emperor, and it can only belong to the emperor alone.

"The prince has the prince's considerations, but the left minister is too worried."

Lu Baijiang glanced at Li Zhong, spoke out of consolation, and then there was no topic, and the two of them were silent.

Li Zhong came from a humble background, was not burdened by the family, and had a low sense of interests, from his succession to the present, he never formed a party for personal gain, and was always alone, it can be seen that he has no ambition in politics, and he is loyal to the emperor, and has promised Zhao Zhi that he will do his best to help support Zhao Xun to succeed to the throne smoothly, so Li Zhong is his own person and has nothing to hide.

Li Zhong promised Zhao Zhi that he would do his best to help support Zhao Xun's smooth succession, and he usually did so, if there was no strong support from Li Zhong in the court, Zhao Xun would not be able to effectively control the situation in the court, but there was some estrangement between the two, Li Zhong did what he said, and he was very supportive of Zhao Xun, everyone knew that Li Zhong was Zhao Xun's person and Zhao Xun's solid backing, but on the other hand, Li Zhong never said a word of allegiance to Zhao Xun, in fact, in addition to government affairs, Li Zhong rarely has private communication with Zhao Xun, Zhao Xun invited Li Zhong to the East Palace several times, Li Zhong politely declined, it can be seen that Li Zhong is deliberately distancing himself from Zhao Xun, this kind of estrangement is not political, but private emotional, maybe Zhao Xun himself feels it, Li Zhong is not
