"Okay then, let's go and call your beautiful sister when you see when, anyway, there are a lot of vacant rooms in my house, so it's better to partner with these two beauties." Qin Du was already making arrangements in his heart.

"My lord, will I go now? I don't want to stay there for a day. The boy said happily.

"Of course, you can come at any time, and then you can just find these two beauties." Qin Du replied with a smile.

Back at the house, Qin Duan immediately arranged for Song Tianxiong to secretly go to Deng Xian, and asked him to tell Deng Xian to send someone to understand the family background of this little Willy, Qin Duan was not afraid of anything else, he was mainly worried that since this little Willy had been wandering outside for a long time, and as he himself said, there were many people who peeked at his sister's beauty, and it was inevitable that there would be social forces paying attention.

Back in the study, Qin Du immediately sent someone back to Tokugawa in the starry night, on the one hand, he informed Liang Qiming, Zhuge Fang, and Su Qin of the situation on his side, and at the same time asked Liang Qiming to transfer several intelligence personnel carefully trained by himself in the Northwest Military Academy to the imperial capital, preparing to expand the intelligence agency in the imperial capital and increase the intelligence collection work in the imperial capital. Since the decision has been made, it will be carried out immediately, Qin Duan has never dragged his feet in doing things.

At present, the forces of all parties in the imperial capital are either bright or dark, friends or enemies, and he is returning to the imperial capital to report on his duties during this sensitive period, and the emperor does not seem to have made it clear when he will return to the northwest, this qiē seems to be a little calm and smooth to be unbelievable.

Qin Duan never believed in these things on the surface, only logical things are the real facts, and the false surface is often the hidden of murderous intentions.

And the power of the imperial capital was too complicated, so that Qin Duan always felt that he could not control or clearly understand the form, although sometimes he got some information from Wei Zhongxian, but Qin Duan was still a little uneasy. After all, Dongchang is still under the direct management of the emperor, who knows how many of the emperor's cronies are inside, and if they don't get it right, they will put themselves in a dangerous situation, which is difficult for Qin Duan to accept, and it is also extremely dangerous. Only when you are deaf and clear can you grasp the opportunity. in order to be invincible.

Using Xiao Willy, a group of local snakes on the streets of the imperial capital, he can certainly be much better informed in all aspects, but if he wants to rely on this to sit back and relax, Qin Duan is not so naïve. Only by strengthening the intelligence agencies in the imperial capital in a short period of time and establishing a complete and efficient information and intelligence network can we ensure our own survival in the imperial capital.

……

Inside the Imperial Study. Eight uniquely shaped fish candles reflected the small imperial study room transparently, and Zhao Youxiao carefully read the recitals presented by the ministers of the DPRK and China, and his brows slowly wrinkled.

A little eunuch stood by the door with a white jade whisk in his hand. Keep your head down, don't move. A thick brocade curtain kept the cold northwest wind out of the door, and a pot of flaming red charcoal was filled with bursts of warmth.

Gently putting down a recital, Zhao Youxiao took a deep breath, stood up, slowly moved his somewhat numb body, and slowly paced in the study, as if thinking about something difficult.

Not bad. Zhao Youxiao did have a dilemma in his heart, since the early dynasty canonized Qin Du's dukedom and appointed him as the governor of the North Loulan region. When he returned to the palace, he successively received many secret letters submitted by important ministers, and the contents were all similar, all of which asked him to limit the power and influence of Qin Duan, and avoid the appearance of another person like Lin Guoxiong or Lang Yongquan. I didn't expect that my meritorious deeds would cause such a backlash, which shows how much influence this Qin Duan has on the ministers of the DPRK and China.

But this Qin Duan has indeed made great achievements for the empire, and it can be said without boasting. Even if he is a hundred years later, under the Nine Springs, he can proudly show off to the emperors that he has had such a glorious page in his life, when he ruled. The empire's territory expanded greatly to the west, crossing the majestic Hengduan Mountain Range, and becoming a great empire that spanned the Central and Eastern continents. Based on this alone, even if Qin Duan was given much of a reward, it would not be too much.

However, the ministers who presented the folds were all their own humerus, and what they represented was not only themselves, but the most important thing was that the core of the problem reflected by several people was actually only one problem, that is, they were worried that with the expansion of Qin Duan's power, it would affect the royal authority. This is also a question that I have been worried about but want to avoid repeatedly.

In particular, Cabinet Minister Lu Wenfu's remarks can be said to be earnest in his words, his arguments are detailed and sufficient, and the problems reflected in him are indeed shocking, so that he has no choice but to suppress the feelings brought about by the Loulan incident and carefully examine this issue.

This Qin Duan's steps are indeed a bit out of line, even signing a peace treaty with the Huns, releasing prisoners of war, such major events as not reporting to the imperial court, and actively expanding the army, accepting ethnic minorities, and buying people's hearts, are these just to consolidate the empire's rule in the northwest? Or does he have some ulterior motives of his own?

The more Zhao Youxiao thought about it, the more upset he became, and he couldn't help but pick up the book and read it carefully, falling into deep contemplation.

"陛xià."

"What's the matter?" Zhao Youxiao, who woke up from his contemplation, glanced at the little eunuch beside him and asked, It was almost ten o'clock.

"Lord Shoufu Ye is asking to see you outside the Qingyuan Palace."

"Oh? Announce him to come to the imperial study to see me. ”

"Chen Ye knocks to Gao to see His Majesty." Ye Xianggao, who had a solemn face, stepped into the imperial study and bowed deeply.

"Calm down, Ye Aiqing, you see me late at night, but what is the big change in the army?" Zhao Youxiao asked with some concern.

"No, there is nothing else in the military department, and the minister saw him late at night, or for the sake of the Qin twilight this morning." Ye Xianggao looked at him level and said solemnly.

"Oh,"

Zhao Youxiao breathed a sigh of relief, and his body leaned back, looking much more relaxed, "That's it, I thought it was the battle situation in the south that had changed again." ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers do not think that this matter is insignificant, in the humble opinion of the ministers, if this matter is not handled properly, the consequences will be worse than the war in the south." Ye Xianggao's face became a little pale.

Hearing what Shoufu, who had always been cautious, said, Zhao Youxiao couldn't help but be stunned, "Ye Aiqing, are you exaggerating?" ”

"No, Your Majesty, the minister is absolutely not alarmist, if he doesn't pay attention to it again, the minister thinks that Qin Du will become the second Lin Guoxiong, and his danger is even more than that." Ye Xianggao said word by word to show the intensity of his tone.

"Really? Then tell me your reasoning. Zhao Youxiao's heart was shocked, and his face became heavy. (To be continued......)
