Zhang Gui acted very quickly, and the next day he privately obtained Qi Yu's permission, and ordered his own faction to write and invite.

On the third day, the investigation of the garrison and the tuntian in various places was announced to the world at the great court meeting.

This move touched the interests of some people, and naturally attracted fierce opposition from them.

However, Zhang Gui was in power for too long, and Qi Yu strongly supported it, although these opposing voices were noisy, they did not prevent the implementation of this matter.

After going down to the court, the ministers thought that Qi Yu had respected and obeyed Zhang Gui as always in the court in recent days, and completely lost the sharpness of Zhang Gui when he left Beijing, and couldn't help but sigh.

It seems that if the emperor does not listen to Zhang Gui's mercy, or does not let Zhang Gui monopolize power, there is a long way to go.

After the next dynasty, people who were involved in investigating the interests of the guards and the affairs of the tuntian gathered in twos and threes.

In addition to the British Mansion and the Lee House.

Needless to say, the British government had received Huang Yi'an's guidance in advance, and had already sorted out the Northwest Army by itself, and even if there were any mistakes in the investigation personally presided over by Zhang Gui, it would definitely not affect the overall situation.

As for the Li Mansion, it was Zhang Xi who informed Li Zizhen, and Li Zizhen informed his father and brother that he had made preparations in advance. What's more, Li Zizhen was appointed by Qi Yu to walk in front of the emperor a few days ago, and he was instructed by Qi Yu, which can be regarded as "cheating" by order, and it is naturally safer.

However, the British Mansion and the Li Mansion were calm and closed, but they could not prevent others from coming to them to discuss the matter.

As the two famous border armies of the Great Qi Dynasty, the Northwest Army and the Liaodong Army have always won the trust of the emperor than the armies elsewhere, and they also have relatively more autonomy.

Zhang Gui wants to move the interests of the army, and the British Duke and General Li must be more anxious than them. As long as these two legions have the same interests as them and jointly resist Zhang Gui, things will definitely take a turn for the better!

However, the truth greatly exceeded their expectations.

When they arrived at the British Mansion and the Li Mansion, they were surprised to find that the two mansions were as calm as if they had nothing to do, and they were entertained with good wine and tea, and they did not feel the slightest anxiety at all.

But the people of the British Mansion and the Li Mansion are calm, they can't hold their breath, who makes them not have the strength of the other party, they can live calmly and unmoving?

After the greetings, they immediately made their intentions clear.

However, what shocked and helpless them was that both the British Duke and General Li expressed absolute obedience and support for this matter, and made it clear that if there was such a dereliction of duty and greed in their own army, let alone Zhang Gui, they themselves would not let go of those sinners, and they would be severely punished!

Those who came to seek a huddle were originally inferior to the British Duke and General Li, and they were not as famous as the two of them, and they were extremely favored.

Daqi has a vast territory, many guards, and a wide range of interests, so Zhang Gui's move naturally caused turmoil and daily noise in the court.

However, under Jang Gyu's absolute power and iron-fisted policy, although bloodshed and clashes occurred from time to time, the investigation was still firmly carried out.

When the British public heard that the investigation was not going well, he sighed, looked to the northwest, and sighed in a low voice: "This time, thanks to the queen's early warning, otherwise we would have been in a hurry now." ”

He thinks that he is strict in governing the army, but there are many generals under his command, and it is inevitable that there will be greedy and unscrupulous people, and although things such as false reports of soldiers, tuntian, and war exploits are not very troublesome, it is really difficult to be found out by Zhang Gui's people, and then coerced by people with intentions.

Not to mention anything else, Zhang Gui has always wanted to find an opportunity to subdue him for his own use. If Zhang Gui really catches his sore foot this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out and be independent.

For the British government, which has been a pure minister who has been loyal to the monarch and patriotic for several generations, the future is really dark and uncertain when he is forced to take refuge with the powerful minister Zhang Gui at this time......

When the British duchess heard this, she also nodded and sighed: "Yes, this time thanks to the queen." ”

Buddhism emphasizes cause and effect, and the British duchess is now extremely glad that she and Zhang Xi planted good causes with Huang Yi'an and the Huang family, which has produced today's good results.

Zhang Xi smiled when he heard this: "Naturally, I want to thank Sister An." However, I think Your Majesty means that even if Sister An didn't warn in advance, he would hint at us. Otherwise, His Majesty would not have discussed this matter with Li Zizhen in advance. ”

Li Zizhen is the sister-in-law of Li Zongbing, who is in charge of the Liaodong Army, and the emperor consulted Li Zizhen on this matter, in addition to expressing trust and reliance, it is clear that he wants to use Li Zizhen's mouth to let the Liaodong Army prepare early.

And she is Li Zizhen's wife and the only concubine of the British duke, Li Zizhen knew about it, how could he not inform the Yue family in advance?

The British public was quite moved when he heard this, bowed in the direction of the palace, and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust!" ”

The British Duchess and Zhang Xi also bowed and thanked him.

……

The matter of clearing the guards was carried out with difficulty but firmly.

From the end of September to the beginning of the lunar month, we finally took the opportunity of finding out the wages and salaries and basically ended the inventory work.

According to the report, there were incidents of false reporting and concealment of duties in various guard posts, including the Northwest Army and the Liaodong Army, which were also the shrewdness of the British Gonghe General Li -- if the Northwest Army and Liaodong County, which had a large number of soldiers, were so clean that they could not find the slightest mistake, wouldn't it be even more suspicious?

However, it is a trivial matter that can be found out, and if you deal with a few people and confiscate some private property, you can end it, and you can't touch the foundation of the Northwest Army and the Liaodong Army.

When the British public heard the report, his hanging heart finally relaxed, and he praised the British duchess in private: "After this incident, it can be seen that Brother Lan is a manufacturable material." This is a general who guards one side, but he doesn't just know how to fight. ”

The Duchess of England also nodded and smiled: "I am not as far as you think. It's just that after this incident, I was relieved to see that Brother Lan was not depressed and slack, and he was slumped! This kid has really grown up, and he is also sensible and calm! ”

However, not two days after the British Duchess said this, Zhang Lan made a very ignorant incident, so angry that the British Duchess almost fainted.

It was Laba that day, and it was rumored that there was an inner servant coming, and everyone in the British government thought that Laba porridge was being rewarded as usual, so they quickly got up and tidied up their clothes, and went to the front to greet the angels and rewards with a smile.

However, to their surprise, it turned out to be Tian Yi, and it was not Laba porridge that brought him, but an edict from Qi Yu.

"Grandpa Guo, Your Majesty asks you to go to the imperial study immediately, and there is something important to discuss."
