After listening to Zhao Pu's words, Li Guanqi frowned and asked, "Does Zu Donglai still dare to have different intentions?" ”

Zhao Pu replied: "I don't dare now, but it doesn't mean that I won't dare in the future." Now he only has two guards in his hands, Ouchi Guard and Yulin Guard, with less than 3,000 people, but the Beijing Division has more than 200,000 forbidden troops, which is why he does not dare to move for the time being. ”

Li Guanqi said: "I think that the military power of the 200,000 forbidden army is in the hands of He Zhuguo. ”

"Not exactly, but pretty much it." Zhao Pu took a step forward and said, "The forbidden army of the Beijing Division is mainly stationed in two places, one is the Jiangbei battalion, where there are eleven capital divisions, with a total strength of nearly 200,000 people, and nine of the commanders of these eleven capital divisions were subordinates of Taiwei He Zhuguo, and the tiger talisman that can mobilize the Jiangbei battalion garrison is also in the hands of He Zhuguo, it can be said that the Jiangbei battalion is basically controlled by He Zhuguo. ”

Although Li Guanqi had been prepared in his heart, he couldn't help but take a breath when he heard that more than two-thirds of the troops in the Beijing division were controlled by a foreign minister. He Zhuguo, who was secretly glad that he held military power, was not an ambitious person. After a moment's pause, he asked, "Where is the other place?" In whose hands is the power of the army? ”

Zhao Pu replied: "The other armed force in the capital is the Xiaocai Guard stationed in Xuanwu Lake, with five thousand households under its jurisdiction, with a total of 5,600 people, and the commander is Feng Yuhua. This man is a typical neutral. ”

"Horseman?" Li Guanqi raised his eyebrows and asked urgently.

"Yes. Although the number of the battalion is small, because it is all cavalry, its combat power cannot be ignored. This force should still be dominated by co-optation. "Zhao Pu obviously admires the combat power of Xiao Cavalry.

"It must be dropped." The corners of Li Guanqi's mouth rippled with an unknown smile.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Li Guanqi got up. The palace maids and eunuchs who served him didn't know what was wrong, and they thought they had misremembered the days of the last dynasty, because they all knew that it was not the day of the early dynasty, and Li Guanqi liked to sleep late before getting up to wash.

When Tang Mao, who had not yet passed the sleepiness, heard that Li Guanqi asked him to prepare a horse to go to the Xiaocai Guard station, Tang Mao immediately woke up sleepy, and he really served Li Guanqi, the master, and he wanted to come out one by one, it was still raining outside in the autumn rain, why was he in a hurry to go to the barracks? Could it be that something is wrong? But the emperor's face doesn't look like it. He boldly said: "The emperor wants to go to inspect the Xiao cavalry guards, and let the slaves and maids go to say hello to them, so that they can be ready to take over." ”

"Say hello? I'll go now. Li Guanqi said decisively.

"The slave is going to prepare for Luan."

"You slave is getting better and less able to serve. I asked you to prepare a horse, which kind of luan do you prepare? Li Guanqi scolded with a smile.

"Yes. Then the slave and maid went to prepare the horses. ”

Li Guanqi liked horseback riding very much before the crossing, and he also went to the equestrian club to learn. Therefore, horseback riding is a breeze for him.

Braving the autumn rain, with He Ziming and more than 20 other guards, Li Guanqi rode a white horse and went straight to Xuanwu Lake.

Xuanwu Lake, located outside the northeast city wall of the capital of the Qian, the shore of the lake is diamond-shaped, the circumference is about ten kilometers, there are five islands in the lake, the lake surface is divided into four large areas, and there are bridges or embankments between the islands. Originally, it was a good place to visit, but the Great Qian Dynasty chose this place as the station of the most elite troops in the capital.

As the saying goes, an autumn rain is cool, in late autumn and October, the lake is already red and green thin, the residual lotus is withered, and the rain sprinkles the autumn pool, the waves are rippling, and a scene of slaughter.

When Li Guanqi brought He Ziming and others here, he saw that the entire lake area was surrounded by a fence, and a large flag wet by the rain was shaking in the cold wind, embroidered with a fierce leopard with wings, as if it really wanted to soar in the wind. Shadows can be seen in the camp in a neatly arranged group of sergeants drilling, and slogans are heard from time to time.

Li Guanqi saw that the huge camp was orderly, heavily guarded, and orderly, and couldn't help but nod at He Ziming and praised: "It seems that this Feng Yuhua still has some ability." ”

He Ziming saw that the Xiao Cavalry Guards were so neat, and he also said in high spirits: "Yes." The emperor came suddenly, and it was impossible for them to know the news. Come to think of it, this horse guard is like this. ”

The two of them wanted to comment a few more words, but suddenly heard a broken shout from in front of them: "Who dares to ride a horse here?" Don't you know that riding a horse in front of the camp is a capital offense? Get down! ”

The guards behind Li Guanqi, which one is not arrogant? Immediately, someone hit the horse and shouted: "Blind your dog's eyes, this is the current long live master, and I will dismount you too?" ”

Unexpectedly, the sergeant was not afraid, but said coldly: "This army has not been notified. ”

When the guard saw that the sergeant dared to turn away even the emperor, his anger rose, and he raised his whip and was about to draw it. But He Ziming held his arm and said to the sergeant: "It is indeed the emperor who has arrived, quickly move away from the horse, open the camp gate, and Xuan Feng Yuhua came out to greet the royal driver." ”

The soldier was still unmoved, raised his face, and said, "I'm sorry, I only listen to General Feng's orders in this army!" ”

Hearing this, He Ziming was also angry, and shouted: "Bold, do you dare to welcome the emperor's royal drive?" ”

Seeing this, Li Guanqi hurriedly stopped He Ziming and said, "Don't mind, those who don't know are not guilty." We really didn't say hello to anyone, so it's no wonder that others. ”

"So what are we going to do? Emperor. You can't just go back, can you? He Ziming was still a little angry.

Li Guanqi smiled and said, "I will never do things that return in vain. Show them this. As he spoke, he took out a bright yellow bag from his arms.

He Ziming took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but change his expression, he didn't expect the emperor to bring the jade seal with him, he hurriedly opened the burden respectfully, raised the jade seal high with both hands, and said loudly: "The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty passed on the jade seal of the country here, and quickly passed Feng Yuhua to receive the edict, and the emperor wanted to enter the camp to watch the troops, and ordered him to come and take it quickly!" ”

Although the sergeant guarding the door had never seen the jade seal, he also knew that there was a chance that the emperor had arrived, so he hurriedly said: "Please wait, the little one will go and report to General Feng immediately." ”

After about ten minutes of effort, I saw a flag officer running over quickly, standing at the gate of the camp, and said loudly: "General Feng, the chief military officer of the Admiral Xiao Cavalry Guard, respectfully invites the emperor to enter the camp!" ”

He Ziming saw that Feng Yuhua only sent a flag officer to take him over, but instead he waited in the camp for the emperor to come in to see him, and he couldn't help but be angry, and he was about to attack on the spot. saw that Li Guanqi had already turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the camp. When the guards saw this, who dared to say anything, so they had to obediently dismount, escort Li Guanqi to step on the mud, and walk towards the camp step by step.
