Chapter 106: Seeking Military Power
Yang Ji replied: "Let the next holy decree proclaim that he will enter the palace to face the saint, Yang Ke has no reason to refuse, and then order the elite soldiers to ambush in the city, a thousand people are enough, and they will be arrested when they see the opportunity."

"How can this thousand-volt soldier hide his tracks?" Xie Heng interjected and asked.
"In the name of the labor army, let these elite soldiers disguise themselves as honor guards, and naturally there is no trace." Yang Ji didn't think twice.
"But it is Pei Zan who guards the important land of Gyeonggi, he is Yang Ke's henchman, commanding tens of thousands of forbidden troops, it is not a trivial matter to arrest Yang Ke in the city, Pei Zan can't sit idly by, what if he interferes?" Xie Heng asked step by step.
Yang Ji looked at Sima Ying: "The old man will invite Pei Zan to come to the mansion for a banquet on the eve of his move, and the prince can also accompany him, if he is willing to change the court, we will leave him a life, if he is unwilling, we will arrest him on the spot, just to ask the prince to ask for a secret decree of long live, get the talisman, and replace the battalion officers of the battalions of the forbidden army that night. At that time, as long as Yang Ke enters the city gate, we will be foolproof if we arrest him again. β
Sima Ying interjected impatiently: "By the way, summon Ma Long and his henchman Tang Bin to face the saint together, after they enter the city, we will close the four gates, even if the army accompanying him wants to save him, it will be too late for the dragons to be leaderless, they have the courage to openly attack the imperial city, and then a holy decree can be passed on to the army, and the overall situation can be determined." β
After everyone looked at each other, they laughed proudly, as if they had seen the scene of Yang Ke and others becoming prisoners.
Sima Ying secretly speculated in his heart: "Yang Ji's strategy is the same as Lu Zhi's advice, and it is exactly the same, it seems that he really came to take refuge in himself." So he pretended to be generous and said to Yang Ji: "The important position of commanding the forbidden army is none other than Lord Yang." β
Yang Ji arched his hand and said: "The prince trusts him, and the lower officials must do it foolproof." β
Xie Heng suddenly interjected: "After the matter is completed, our scholars will contact our colleagues and clansmen to impeach Yang Ke for his crimes, and at the same time respectfully ask the prince to be regent, but we must draw up a list and constitution in advance to see how to assign errands to those involved in the matter, and this is up to you, the prince, to decide." β
Sima Ying and Lu Zhi exchanged a look, Xie Heng's words were actually talking about conditions, but he and Lu Zhi had already planned the matter of sealing the official's wish, and of course they had to give people benefits. Lu Zhi cleared his throat and said: "My lords, the prince has already thought about it, you are all the pillars of the imperial court, the ministers of the country, after Yang Ke and his party are cleared, the prince will ask for a decree from Long Live and announce to the world that all the malpractices adopted by Yang Ke and his party will be abolished, and the first thing to bear the brunt is the Central Council deliberative system and the imperial examination system." The elders of the Shi clan who were implicated in the imperial examination case were all acquitted and pardoned, and the officials were reinstated. In the imperial court, the government affairs are headed by the scholars, and the military affairs are still headed by Yang Taiwei, who leads the forbidden army. β
Sima Ying nodded: "Yes, there will be more places for the imperial court to rely on your adults in the future." Let's work together to assist the emperor. Sima Ying's expression and tone at this moment are already like the first person in charge of the world, his dream is no longer out of reach, but close at hand, looking at the group of people around him, Sima Ying secretly sneered in his heart, no matter how great the power of these people is, they are also ministers, destined to be used by others, only they are the orthodox royal blood, with their own bloodline and talents, it is not easy to control the foolish emperor, and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, so that the princes and kings who are divided into the world can be collected one by one, and then slowly cut the land to seize the title, exclude dissidents, once the power is monopolized, the time is ripe, and it is not easy to replace the Son of Heaven. Thinking of this, Sima Ying's heart couldn't help but boil.
The elders of the Shi clan are also satisfied, the cake has been divided, and the benefits distributed far exceed everyone's psychological expectations, Sima Ying made a wish that the government affairs will be headed by the Shi clan, Xie Heng is even more fascinated, the previous Shi clan was based on Wang Xiang as the spokesperson, this time he refused to join the camp against Yang Ke, it was to give himself a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not only can he surpass Wang Xiang to become the leader of the Shi clan, but also can be the leader of the imperial court, isn't that the position of the prime minister? The rest of the clan elders were able to reappear in the rivers and lakes, and a group of people shouted the slogan with Sima Ying as if they had been beaten with chicken blood: "One heart and one mind, assist the emperor." β
The long-planned meeting on the Luohe River ended with great joy and came to an end, and a few days later, a new round of turbulent waves will be set off in the city of Luoyang.
Sima Ying looked at Yang Ji who was sitting on the main seat, he was invited to Yang Ji to attend the banquet, and there was another person who was invited, and Pei Zhan, who was also the main target today, already had a sense of wine. Sima Ying was secretly told by Lu Zhi for a long time before leaving, telling him to be silent today, to see how Yang Ji sang this play, and couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart: "Lu Zhi is resourceful and very grateful for his kindness, so he is very loyal to his duties, but there are two things that he particularly hates, one is that like most scholars, he is a little arrogant, likes to make his own opinions, and often can't get off the stage." The second is that he is too cautious and always does not trust Yang Ji. It wasn't until Yang Ji really planned for himself and offered the same strategy as Lu Zhi to arrest Yang Ke that he shut up. It's just that as soon as he has the opportunity, he still has to take the opportunity to test Yang Ji. For example, when you go to the banquet today, let yourself be a cold eyewitness. β
Yang Ji seemed to ignore the eyes of Sima Ying and Lu Zhi who were secretly observing him on the side, and said to Pei Zhan: "General Pei, since you took charge of the forbidden army in Beijing, the military discipline is strict and well-trained, and you can be called a good way to lead the troops." β
Pei Zan arched his hand and said: "Tai Wei praised, the last general was just a pro-army who obeyed the orders under the Tai Lieutenant's account, if it weren't for the Tai Lieutenant's support and care, how could the last general be today, as for leading the troops, it was just a little bit of the Tai Lieutenant's skin, how dare he get an axe in front of the Tai Lieutenant." β
Yang Ji went straight to the point: "General Pei, do you know why the old man invited you to come over to the house today?"
Pei Zan looked at Sima Ying and Lu Zhi standing beside him, and shook his head: "The last general doesn't know." β
Yang Ji suddenly narrowed his eyes, staring at Pei Zan with eyes like knives: "The old man has two ways to choose the general today, one is to follow the old man's orders from now on, and he has nothing to do with Yang Ke." The other is to take you down on the spot, and the old man has in his hand the holy decree that you will be held accountable for your sins today. β
Lu Zhi paced in front of Pei Zhan and slowly unfolded the holy will invited by Sima Ying in front of him. Pei Zhan knelt on the ground with an ordinary sound: "Where does the Tai Lieutenant say this, the last general is originally from the Tai Lieutenant's personal soldiers, and he is willing to obey the Tai Lieutenant's orders, and he will never dare to have two hearts." β
Sima Ying said coldly: "If the Taiwei asks you to take Yang Ke's life, will you do the same?" β
Pei Zan gritted his teeth fiercely: "As long as it is the order of the captain, even if it is a sea of swords and fire, the last general is not afraid at all." β
