He Ziming nodded and said, "Then now Zu Donglai must go back to think of new countermeasures." Shouldn't we take it any further? ”

Li Guanqi exhaled lightly and said, "That's nature. Only if we are more fully prepared than Zu Donglai, can we have the last laugh in this struggle. ”

"So what do we do now? Please ask the emperor to command! He Ziming felt a little excited.

Li Guanqi raised two fingers, gently rubbed his temples, and said: "If you want to know what to do next, you must first know what Zu Donglai will do next, only in this way can we have a target." ”

He Ziming frowned and said: "This is difficult, we don't have anyone on his side, how can we know what he wants to do next?" ”

Li Guanqi smiled lightly, nodded He Ziming's head in the void, and said, "What is this head used for?" Although we are not roundworms in Zu Donglai's stomach, as long as we are willing to use our brains to think about it, we can guess what he is going to do next! ”

Seeing the disbelieving expression on He Ziming's face, Li Guanqi continued: "The reason why Zu Donglai has the intention of rebellion is actually nothing more than relying on two points. ”

"I don't know what two points the emperor is referring to?" He Ziming is very open-minded and studious.

Li Guanqi snorted lightly in his nose and said with a sneer: "The first battle of Zu Donglai is that most of the ministers in the court are the only ones who look ahead; The second is that he has in his hands the two guards and horses in the imperial city, the Yulin Guard and the Ouchi Guard. ”

After a pause, Li Guanqi continued: "Now that Fan Jian has been caught, Tang Mao, who is Zu Donglai's eyeliner, has also been captured, and the Ouchi guards are here, Zu Donglai will not be able to control them well in a short period of time, so if my guess is correct, the first thing he needs to do next is to try to regain control of the Ouchi guards in his hands!" ”

"He can't seem to do this." He Ziming smiled optimistically and said: "Combined with the confessions of Fan Jian and Tang Mao, all the personnel loyal to Zu Donglai in the Ouchi guards have been exposed, and the ministers have arranged for their subordinates to conduct a close one-on-one guard, as long as the emperor gives an order, they can be wiped out!" ”

Li Guanqi shook his head and said, "Even if you arrest all these people, it may not work. Zu Donglai has worked hard for so many years, if because of the fall of a Fan Jian, his power in the Ouchi guards will be exposed, then he is really not worthy of being my opponent. If it is not bad as expected, Zu Donglai must have other important roles in the inner guards, and this person may not even know about Fan Jian. ”

"So what's the matter?" He Ziming was really a little anxious.

Li Guanqi raised his right hand, clenched his fist hard, and said, "Fight with him!" With the help of Fan Jian, we can take the opportunity to win more loyal people among the Ouchi guards. Once both sides tear their faces, this is the first force that can threaten me, so we must do everything possible to increase our influence. ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured! Chen has not relaxed his energy in this regard! He Ziming said confidently.

Li Guanqi nodded, and then said: "Secondly, Zu Donglai should also speed up the speed of connecting among the ministers. Although most of the ministers are usually on his side, these people either ask for him, or they are afraid of him, and if they really want them to follow Zudong to rebel, few of them will happily agree. After all, Zu Donglai is a minister with a foreign surname, and he does not have enough public opinion support, and if he wants to rebel, he will kill himself! ”

"How do we deal with this?" He Ziming asked a little worriedly.

"Still fight with him!" Li Guanqi clenched his fists again and said, "But I won't fight with him one by one, it will be too embarrassing to lose my identity, and the effect will not be good." My strategy is to focus on attacking, not all-out! ”

He Ziming smiled embarrassedly and said, "I don't understand!" Why did the emperor talk about the art of war again? ”

Li Guanqi smiled and said: "This is originally a war, so naturally we have to talk about the art of war. Zu Donglai wants public opinion, and I also want to clear the discussion, so those who can grasp the direction of public opinion, I must firmly control it in my own hands! ”

"Who can grasp the trend of public opinion?" He Ziming asked suspiciously.

Li Guanqi slowly bent his fingers and said: "First of all, Yang Bozheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, although this person has no real power in his hands, he is the leader of the literary world, a master of the Hanlin Dynasty, as long as he comes forward to climb the heights, he is worth thousands of troops."

The second is Lin Bai, the imperial history of the left capital, the imperial history has always been the vane of public opinion, whether I want to deal with the ministers, or the ministers want to deal with me, or even the ministers are infighting, the imperial history is the best vanguard.

There is also Qin Minzhong, the head of the household department, who is in charge of the household department's money and grain, and like Zu Donglai, he is also an old minister of the three dynasties, and has a very high reputation among the hundred officials. At least the whole household will follow his steps. ”

"The emperor is really exhausted, Zu Donglai is definitely not the emperor's opponent." He Ziming sincerely praised the holy way.

Li Guanqi shook his head and said, "These alone can't defeat Zu Donglai, these are just defensive strategies, to ensure that we are undefeated!" And if you want to defeat Zu Donglai, you still need to take the initiative! ”

"Take the initiative?" He Ziming's eyes lit up.

"Yes!" Li Guanqi smiled mysteriously and said, "According to your opinion, where do you think Zu Donglai's strongest force is?" ”

"It should belong to Yu Linwei, right?" He Ziming thought for a while and said, "Liu Ji is his in-law, and he has been operating in Yulinwei for many years, so he can basically be regarded as not getting in!" ”

"Even if you think so, then Zu Donglai is even more at ease with Yu Linwei!" Li Guanqi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then I will start attacking from Yu Linwei, who he is most at ease, and the fight will be a surprise!" I'm going to fight him for the Feather Guard. ”

"Your Majesty, please forgive the ministers for being blunt, Yu Linwei is only afraid that it will be difficult to fight." He Ziming said worriedly.

"If it's a fight, then what's there to fight about?" Li Guanqi said with a smile.

"Where does the emperor plan to start?" He Ziming asked.

"If it were you, where would you start?" Li Guanqi asked instead of answering.

He Ziming thought for a moment and said: "The minister thinks that he should start with the deputy commander of Yulinwei, because he is the most powerful person in Yulinwei except for Liu Ji. ”

"Then start with him." Li Guanqi laughed and said, "Let's fight for the second-in-command of this Yu Linwei first." ”
