Situ Jun's forehead was bruised, and his hands pressed the desk tightly, even the heavy oak desk seemed to be unable to withstand the pressure exerted on it, and it shattered into several pieces with a bang, and the door was slammed open, and several guards entered in a flash, silver light and blades came out of the sheath, "Your Highness!"

"Get out!" Situ Jun's face turned pale, and he scolded without looking back. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Yes, Your Highness!" there was nothing wrong with the shoulder, only the unlucky desk scattered on the ground, and several guards looked around for a moment, and bowed respectfully and stepped back.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry, the old man also thinks that the second type of surname may be larger, of course, maybe Your Majesty also wants to find a more suitable candidate through this expatriate exercise, but this possibility is too small. The old man surnamed Qiu had a calm face, as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with him.

"You mean Lao Jiu?!" Situ Jun's distorted face looked particularly hideous, and a pair of cold eyes spit out the light of choosing people and devouring them like snake letters.

"I'm afraid it won't be anyone else except for the Ninth Highness, right? His Highness has been sent to Yanyun, the Seventh Highness has gone to the East China Sea, and although the Sixth Highness has stayed in Yanjing to take charge of military affairs, according to the old man's observation, it is just a foil, and only His Highness the Ninth has been granted the power to eliminate the hidden forces of the Taiping Sect in Yanjing. The old man surnamed Qiu said slowly.

"Why does Qiu Lao say that the sixth child is a foil, I think he has been very active in the past two years. Although Situ Jun is not optimistic about Situ Biao in his heart, he is just an intuition and has no basis.

"Hehe, in charge of military affairs, what military affairs can be in charge of in Yanjing, the two major legions of the city guard and the janissary guard can command it except for His Majesty himself? Not to mention how can He Zhiqiu's prestige and experience be replaced by the Sixth Highness? An ethereal person in charge of military affairs is just a trap for the Sixth Highness, although the name is high, I am afraid that the Sixth Highness is suffering and knows for himself. Akihara shook his head, a look of indifference on his thin face.

"What about Lao Jiu?" Situ Jun asked urgently, this was the question he was most concerned about.

"His Royal Highness the Ninth is naturally different. Although nominally responsible for purging the remnants of the Taiping Sect, it is very unusual to put it in Yanjing. The security forces of Yanjing are divided into four parts, one is the most powerful military, as long as the two major armies support whichever side, then whoever ascends to the position of Dabao can be determined, and there will be no circle. The attitude of the two legions is particularly important, but in fact, most of the officers and soldiers in the two legions are from Yanjing, especially the middle-level officer group who plays a role in connecting the upper and lower ranks, their family and relatives are all in Yanjing, no matter who ascends to the position of Dabao, it does not have much impact on their interests, and your highnesses, including us, have influence in these two legions, and they hinder each other and contain each other, so they are actually the most stable force, that is, whoever is strong and who is in power will support whom. ”

"The second part is the imperial Yulin Army and His Majesty's imperial guards, most of the Yulin Army personnel are filled by the children of the imperial nobles, and the middle and senior officers are known to be the children of the royal clan or people related to the royal blood, although in recent years, there are many civilian children who have entered, but they can't change the overall situation, the current commander of the Yulin Army, that is, His Royal Highness's fifth uncle Antai Company Tu Mingtong, he has always kept a low profile, impartial, Your Highness is meat on the palms and backs of his hands, who ascends to the throne has no impact on him, and it is estimated that his position will not change。 His Majesty's personal guard force in the Imperial Guard Room directly belongs to His Majesty, and it is not a security force, so it can be ignored. ”

"The Imperial Gendarmerie can barely be regarded as the third part, but although this part of the personnel is nominally subordinate to the Imperial Legal Department, because most of its personnel are from the Imperial [***] side, and their number is not large, it is difficult to have much impact on the changes in the political situation. ”

"The fourth part is also the most important force, that is, the power under the control of the Yanjing Police Department, in addition to the thousands of police officers under the jurisdiction of the eight police stations, more importantly, the Yanjing civil forces that are closely related to them or can be said to be able to control and dominate, such as the Jianghu Wulin Sect, Violent and religious civil associations, this is a mixed but quite large force, in Yanjing other forces hindered each other, the situation is in a state of equilibrium, this force is the real determinant of the situation in Yanjing!"

Situ Jun silently listened to Qiu Yuan's introduction and analysis, and did not speak, as if he was carefully analyzing the comparison of the strengths of all parties, his fingers lightly tapped on the armrest of the big chair, and the room fell silent all of a sudden.

"It seems that in addition to Lao Jiu, the strength of the eldest brother in Yanjing should not be underestimated, and there is obviously his shadow behind the five-faction alliance, it seems that I am a little negligent in this step. Lao Jiu is now in control of Yanjing's security forces, and of course those Jianghu sects and associations are all going to flock to him to flatter him, hehe, I'm just afraid that I'm not the only one who is restless, right?" Situ Jun sneered, "Since my father wants Lao Jiu to sit in this position, then what am I busy with here, it's better to stay here honestly and sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and see who can take the lead first, eldest brother or Lao Jiu?"

"This is not appropriate, Your Highness, although Your Majesty has this intention, but Your Majesty has not made it clear, and he is still hesitating, and the opinions of the ministers of the DPRK and China may not be unanimous, since Your Majesty has given you a chance, we must take advantage of it, first, to firmly grasp the military power, and secondly, to fight two beautiful battles, let the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government and His Majesty take a look, who is more suitable for that position?!" Akihara categorically rejected the opinion of his master's anger.

"Having the upper hand in Yanjing does not mean that you have the upper hand in the empire, needless to say, the Seventh Highness is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the Sixth Highness may be the same hidden backhand, until the last moment, no one dares to boast! Akihara's sunken eyes glowed faintly, and the expression on his face became even more mysterious.

"Well said!Hehe, the throne is not something that anyone can sit on if they want to, and it is not something that anyone can sit on who they want, even if it is not the emperor!" The cold words seemed to splash viciously from between Situ Jun's teeth, and the knuckles rattled non-stop, and a sinister aura permeated the entire room, and even the old and sophisticated Qiu Yuan was stimulated by the sudden killing intent of his master.

After a long time, Situ Jun slowly regained his composure, and asked in a deep voice, "According to your opinion, we still need to take Jincheng Mansion first?"

"Well, according to the old man, after taking Jincheng, you can pretend that the local situation is still unstable and needs to be garrisoned and suppressed, so that we can find an excuse to delay time, the fifth army can be stationed in Jincheng Mansion and firmly control your hands, and the third army can still let it return to Heshuo to control the passage to Yanjing, as long as the situation changes, we can return to Beijing at any time. Akihara made up his mind, and then he said the plan.

The sky is clear, under the blazing sun, it seems that the woods on the hillside to the birds singing are all under its power, the past caravans are much less than usual, the three-legged bluebird flag on the fortress sentry card hangs listlessly under the flagpole, the soldiers in order to avoid the scorching sun, have slipped into the neighboring houses to rest, this big noon, even the bronze man can be roasted, there is not even a ghost shadow on the avenue, who has the heart to stand on the observation post like a steamer.

Just at noon, a caravan entering the customs rested at the gate of the pass, more than a dozen carts were lying on the side of the road at the gate of the city, the watermelons that came were piled up on the ground, chopped open one, the green skin and red flesh, the sand was sweet and delicious, the melon pulp full of slurry was chewed and turned into slag, and the melon juice overflowing from the corners of the mouth was even soaked through the thin clothes, and the pleasure was so strong that anyone who looked at it was also itchy.

"Master Jun, come down and taste it, this is an authentic Lujiang sand sweet potato, sweet and juicy, and the entrance is slag, hehe, even the current emperor regards it as a tribute." Several stout men with open chests and exposed arms fanned their fans, and raised their hands to cover their eyes and greet upwards.

"Huh, why are you resting here? This is the city gate, you must not stop, get out of here quickly, go over there. The officer who led the patrol was originally furious, but when he saw the other party greeting him warmly, and after a careful look, the dozen or so men were all thinly dressed, except for a dozen or so carts of watermelons, there were no other suspicious items, and their faces were much more relaxed.

"Master Jun, I'm really sorry, no, the axle of the lead car is broken, and even the wheel of the car is crushed, why don't you repair it, it's fast, it's good in a while, I can't delay your business." With a smile on his face, a man who took the lead hurriedly greeted him, handing over his identity certificate and holding two large round and shiny watermelons.

Casually checked the certificate handed over by the other party, the officer who led the team did not pay too much attention, but paid attention to these stout men themselves, although there was no doubt from the goods and origin, but the officer who led the team always felt that something was not so wrong with these seemingly rough melon dealers with his excellent personal intuition.

The man at first seemed to be too sensitive, and his hands were not so much like melon dealers who ran outside all the year round, but rather like a pair of soldiers' hands, and the other few of his companions, on the surface, did not see anything, but always felt a little nervous, their eyes wandered around, especially after the arrival of their own patrol, the carriage was really broken in position, just bad in the city gate, and looking at this appearance, it is estimated that it will not be obvious that it will be difficult to repair it for a while, and the combination of these things has to make the leading officer in charge of the patrol a little suspicious。
