The new monarch has just been established, so the affairs of the court and the central government are busy, although Ji Qingchen has left the Taiji Palace, but the ministers are still handling government affairs in their respective yamen. This includes Wang You, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Liu Pingyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Guo Xing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, they are either the uncles of the third prince, or the henchmen of the second prince Ji Ping, and now that Ji Ping has ascended the throne and called the emperor, their masters did not take advantage of it, and they also followed the bad luck.

However, Ji Wen did not dispose of the ministers who followed Cui Jingsheng to support Ji Qian, which showed Ji Wen's attitude, he didn't want to pursue too many people, as long as everyone could not oppose him.

Therefore, Wang You and Guo Xing didn't have any ideas.

Besides, Dayan has gone through dozens of generations of military power changes, and he does not dare to ascend the throne as emperor, as long as the ministers do not oppose him, this emperor will not take the initiative to investigate anyone's fault. This kind of unwritten rule also gave Wang You and Guo Xing a bottom in their hearts, and they did not exclude Ji Wen from ascending the throne as emperor. Because as long as they don't oppose Ji Wen from now on, and can serve the new monarch Ji Wen as they served Emperor Yan before, they will also continue their official position and power, and continue to continue the legend of the family.

It's just that Liu Pingyuan, who is the uncle of the third prince Ji Hongchang, doesn't think so, if Ji Qingchen ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, with Ji Qingchen's strength and the strength of the Northern Liao and Beirong Iron Cavalry, he Liu Pingyuan is estimated to swallow his anger, but now the person who inherits the position of the new monarch of Dayan is Ji Wen, Ji Wen is not better than Ji Hongchang in terms of military talent, and Ji Wen is not more insidious and ruthless than Ji Ping in terms of political conspiracy.

Therefore, even if he did not object to Ji Wen's ascension to the throne and claim the emperor, in his heart, Liu Pingyuan was not convinced, and always thought that there were still many possibilities for his nephew to ascend to the throne of Emperor Dayan.

"What is Liu Shangshu thinking?" Just as Liu Pingyuan was pondering alone, Xue Ju, the squire of the military department, asked.

After Xue Ju was transferred to the Xizhou Governor's Mansion, he surrendered to Ji Ping, and he originally thought that with Ji Ping's means and resourcefulness, he would ascend to the throne of Emperor Dayan sooner or later, and he would also soar to the throne because of this. Therefore, when Ji Ping issued an order from King's Landing and asked him to lead troops into the king, he would be so active. But he didn't expect that the development of things after arriving in King's Landing was beyond his expectations, his master Ji Ping was not able to ascend to the throne of Emperor Dayan, and if he hadn't been alert and smart, he took the initiative to choose to cooperate with Li Muzhi's actions when he saw that Li Muzhi wanted to take back his military power, and it is estimated that his head would have been hung on the tower of King's Landing City now.

And it was because of this that he was reused by Ji Wen, reinstated as an official, and became a squire in the military department, becoming the second only existence in the military department to Shangshuliu Plain.

"Nothing!" Liu Pingyuan glanced at Xue Ju lightly, and said in a cold tone, he didn't like Xue Ju, because he couldn't get used to Xue Ju's temperament of seeing the wind and making the rudder, he felt that Xue Ju was Ji Ping's henchman, but at the critical moment, he fell to Ji Wen, which was done by a despicable coward.

But in Xue Ju's heart, he didn't think so, he regarded his actions as judging the situation, he felt that as a person who managed a great power, if he didn't have the ability and vision to judge the situation, how could he live in a place like King's Landing, where the strength of the seven great families crisscrossed the country?

"Liu Shangshu, I don't know if I can't say a word to you?" Xue Ju was not angry with Liu Pingyuan's eyes, but still said in a gentle tone.

"What?" Liu Pingyuan asked impatiently.

Because he hated Xue Ju in his heart, he was now disgusted with Xue Ju's every move, let alone listening to Xue Ju.

"The current Dayan is in internal and external troubles, and it is not the time for us to fight each other. The Three Kingdoms invaded Dayan, Xishu was blocked at Jianmen Pass, but the Liguo Iron Cavalry had besieged Ningzhou City, and the Lingnan Yi army had broken through Yizhou City. Xue Ju said in a stern tone, "Judging from the current situation, the current form is very unfavorable to Dayan, not to mention Xishu and leaving the country, the ferocity of the Lingnan Yi clan has made the people of Yizhou complain, and they have resentment against the imperial court, if we continue to fight infighting, our imperial court will lose the hearts of the people in Yizhou, and it will only cheapen our enemies at that time." ”

"Maybe Liu Shangshu thought that the lowly duty would make the rudder reinstate and continue to manage the affairs of the military department, and he didn't want to explain this, but the lowly position understood a truth, the skin did not have hair, not to mention that the seven great families are the cornerstone of Dayan, if Dayan is finished, how can the seven great families survive alone?" Xue Ju said this, paused and continued, "Therefore, I also hope that Liu Shangshu can carefully consider what to decide——"

When Xue Ju said this, he didn't say anything more, but silently withdrew from Liu Pingyuan's study. But just as he was about to go out, he turned back to Liu Pingyuan and said, "By the way, there is another thing that I guessed by myself, so I will tell Liu Shangshu today!" In terms of strength, the Beirong and Northern Liao Iron Cavalry of the Northern Liao King are invincible in Dayan, in terms of prestige, the Northern Liao King is not much worse than your Royal Highnesses, and in terms of connections, what does the Northern Liao King want to do, the Marquis of Jin and General Li will definitely support him without sparing any effort, but when will the heir to the throne be Your Majesty? ”

"Has Liu Shangshu thought about it?" Xue Ju stopped and asked.

"Because the king of Northern Liao doesn't want to fight infighting, because the current Dayan can only stabilize the existing situation if His Majesty ascends the throne and becomes the emperor." Xue Ju said, "As for what to do, Liu Shangshu still thinks slowly!" ”

After speaking, Xue Ju strode out of the study of Liu Pingyuan of the Military Department.

After Xue Ju left, Liu Pingyuan was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses, he looked at Xue Ju's back in a daze and was silent for a moment, before sighing slightly. He didn't look down on Xue Ju's personality and character, but just now Xue Ju told him that it was very reasonable, which made him pause. Indeed, when Xue Ju hadn't told him these words before, he always thought about how unfair it was to Ji Wen's ascension to the throne today to his nephew Ji Hongchang. But after what Xue Ju said to him, he realized that he had drilled the tip of the horns. If the skin does not have hair, will it be attached? After the absence of Dayan, under the iron horse of the country or the scimitar of the Lingnan Yi clan, how can their seven great families survive alone? Besides, when it comes to grievances, is there anyone more aggrieved than Ji Qingchen, the king of Northern Liao? Send a large army to Xishu to stop the invasion of the Xishu army, and send a large army north to Ningzhou to stop the southward movement of the Liguo Iron Cavalry. If Ji Qingchen really ruthlessly brought these two armies to King's Landing, not to mention that he wanted to be the emperor, even if he killed all the Seven Great Families and his enemies, I am afraid that no one would be able to stop him at that time, right?

But Ji Qingchen, the king of Northern Liao, did not do this.

What is this for?

Liu Pingyuan knew very well that, just like Xue Ju said, Ji Qingchen, the king of Northern Liao, didn't want Da Yan to continue to fight inwardly and the enemy would make such a big sacrifice.

Thinking of this, Liu Pingyuan's whole person relaxed a lot, and the pressure on his body seemed to disappear all at once.

At this moment, he heard someone outside the study asking, "Liu Shangshu, General Li of the Privy Council asked you to go to the Privy Council to discuss the military situation!" ”

"Go down! Ben Shangshu knows the way! Liu Pingyuan, who was relaxed, replied lightly.

He tidied up his official uniform, left the study, went out of the military department, and strode towards the Privy Council.

When Bai Jin was in the Privy Council, he handed over all the specific affairs to Li Muzhi, so just a long time ago, Li Muzhi was the de facto number one person in the Privy Council, so as the secretary of the military department, he had discussed the military situation with Li Muzhi more than once. It's just that this time he was a little uncomfortable when facing Li Muzhi, and he always felt that he seemed to be one level shorter than Li Muzhi, and he felt oppressed.

When he arrived at the Privy Council, he saw that Li Muzhi was immersed in official business, in addition to Li Muzhi and several members of the army, there was also his nephew Ji Hongchang, who was still in charge of the Privy Council.

"I've seen Liu Shangshu—" The Privy Councillor bowed down and greeted when he saw Liu Pingyuan. No matter what official position Liu Pingyuan has, just because he is the head of the Seven Great Families, many people treat him with courtesy.

"Uncle-" Ji Hongchang saw Liu Pingyuan and was about to get up and salute, but was stopped by Liu Pingyuan, but Ji Hongchang's status as a prince, with his current position and power is not comparable to his Liu Pingyuan, he will not let Ji Hongchang greet him as a nephew at this time.

"Liu Shangshu, the Privy Council asked you to come to the study to talk, please go with the Third Highness!" Just when Liu Pingyuan stopped Ji Hongchang from saluting, a soldier strode out of Li Muzhi's study and said to the two.

Liu Pingyuan and Ji Hongchang walked into Li Muzhi's study, and saw that Li Muzhi's desk was full of volumes of files, and the two were surprised when they saw this scene, because as soon as Li Muzhi took back the military power, he immediately sorted out such a large number of files, which shows that taking back the military power of all the large armies in King's Landing City is not a temporary idea, but something that Li Muzhi has been preparing before.

"Liu Shangshu, Third Highness, please take a seat!" When Li Muzhi saw Liu Pingyuan and Ji Hongchang, he got up and said, after the two of them sat down, he didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point, "I summoned the two of you here, just to ask the two of you, now our enemies are mainly the Lingnan Yi clan in the south and the iron cavalry in the north, and after the enthronement of His Royal Highness in two days, His Majesty will issue an order to counterattack, and will divide the forces at hand into two parts, and send them to Yizhou and Ningzhou respectively to block the enemy, this envoy just wants to ask Liu Shangshu and His Royal Highness, What advice do you have on how to distribute the army we have? ”

"Of course, you don't have to answer this question now, the dossier in this is compiled by the envoy, and it is about the files of all the army in King's Landing that have been recovered, you go back and take a detailed look, and we will talk about it when the enthronement ceremony is held in two days, and when the court meeting is held!" After Li Muzhi finished speaking, he handed over the two files to Liu Pingyuan and Ji Hongchang, and continued to deal with official affairs and no longer paid attention to the two.

And Liu Pingyuan and Ji Hongchang also withdrew from the study with interest.

However, the two of them were surprised when Li Muzhi handed over the file to them so easily, this is the file of the military power that Li Muzhi has just withdrawn, it is absolutely secret, and if it is used by someone with a heart, there will be a big problem. But Li Muzhi handed over this thing to them so lightly, which had to make them admire Li Muzhi's courage and at the same time, they had another idea in their hearts!

PS: I don't want to say more, if you have a monthly pass, you can smash it to the third child! Two shifts will be resumed tomorrow!
