"What did you say?" Wu Feng, who was taken aback, suddenly jumped up from his seat, but then he noticed his gaffe, and immediately calmed down, but his brain was spinning rapidly, thinking about the purpose of Situ Lang's move, and asked in a deep voice: "Gu Quan, what is your opinion on this matter?"
"Your Highness, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly wants to recruit several princes into Beijing, do you plan to abdicate and let one of them take over his throne?" Gu Quanquan, as the person in charge of the General Intelligence Administration, was a little embarrassed by this sudden news, and Situ Lang, who had always been in a low-key and evasive attitude, made a surprise move, while the intelligence agency on the western Xinjiang side did not have any early warning, which cannot but be said that the intelligence department was suspected of dereliction of duty, especially the General Intelligence Administration in charge of comprehensive intelligence affairs.
"If things are so simple, then it's good.Situ Lang was silent for so long, I'm afraid he was also thinking about how to deal with his two brothers' forced palace, Situ Tai was arrogant, Situ Biao didn't show it, but the purpose was the same, they were all looking at the throne.Situ Tai has the support of the northern nobles, but the economic strength is slightly inferior, Situ Biao has the support of the southern land nobles, I heard that his integration methods in the Wuhu region are still quite interesting, and he has also imitated some of our methods, but if you want to fight with Situ Tai with the power of a county alone, I am afraid that it is still a little worse, there doesn't seem to be much suspense in this battle for the throne." Li Wufeng shook his head, he didn't believe that Situ Lang had been brewing for so long, and his accumulated trick would be so simple, but what conspiracy was hidden in it, he couldn't see it clearly for a while.
"Your Highness, you still missed one point, that is, our attitude is equally important, if we support a certain party, then there is really no suspense." Gu Quan saw that Wufeng didn't mean to blame the intelligence department, and he was a little relieved in his heart, with such a mistake, as the director of the General Intelligence Agency, his face was indeed a little uncomfortable.
"No, we should not get involved in the family affairs of the Situ family now, the throne, whichever one of them sits, but it must be on the premise of not harming the existing interests of our western Xinjiang, otherwise it will be difficult for him to sit firmly on the throne. Wu Feng was a little hesitant, on the surface, Situ Lang dragged these so-called princes in, hoping that these princes could solve the problem of the battle for the throne by peaceful means, but what was inside was beyond the reach of outsiders.
Seeing the boss's gaze back and forth towards him, Gu Quan's scalp was a little numb, judging from the information obtained from Yanjing recently, Situ Lang didn't seem to have made any big moves, except for the fact that he was still in close contact with the thirteenth princess, he really couldn't see anything abnormal, Situ Tai and Situ Biao must also be listening to each other's reality, now the initiative is in the hands of Situ Lang, if he can't get it, and the other party arrives, Situ Lang will take the throne to others, although it can't be said that it will be a decisive move, but at least it will put himself in a rather passive situation, which can't help but make Situ Tai and Situ Biao think twice.
"Your Highness, do you think Your Highness and the Sixth Highness will enter Beijing?" Gu Quan asked his boss rhetorically.
"Well, that's a good question, if Situ Lang can't give the two of them a safety guarantee, the two of them will definitely not enter Beijing, but since Situ Lang dares to make an order, he has his own plans. Wu Feng nodded slightly, pondering about His Majesty the Emperor, who had not performed anything special since he ascended the throne.
"Your Highness, in the opinion of your subordinates, it is best for Your Highness not to enter Beijing at will, the situation in Yanjing is not under our control, the risk is too great, Your Highness can not enter the tiger's den lightly." Gu Quan was also unsure of his boss's thoughts, so he could only suggest that Wu Feng refuse to obey the edict from a safety point of view.
"Well, I still need to think about this problem, there are benefits to going, there is a reason not to go, and I always have to think of a foolproof strategy. Fang encountered such an annoying thing when he entered Hanzhong, which made Wufeng indeed a little distressed, and he wanted to repair himself in Hanzhong and carefully conceive the oriental strategy, but he was completely distracted by Situ Lang's clever stroke.
"Gu Quan, your intelligence department must start working immediately, this Situ Lang can come up with such a move, I believe that including several other highnesses, he didn't expect it, there must be someone in this who supports him, you ask Yanjing to check the ministers or other people who have entered the palace more frequently in the past few months, as well as Situ Lang's whereabouts out of the palace, especially some of our insiders in the palace, let them have a good look, this may be helpful to understand Situ Lang's plan." Wu Feng walked back and forth in the living room a few times, and finally gave up figuring out the other party's intentions, everything needs intelligence as a basis, so it is indeed not easy to guess out of thin air.
His Majesty the Emperor's edict summoning several princes to Beijing to discuss politics was finally issued in the form of an official letter, which immediately attracted the attention of all forces, the most interesting of which was naturally His Royal Highness Situ Tai, who already had the most powerful contender for the throne.
Situ Tai was also confused by his brother's edict. Recruiting himself into Beijing? Situ Langmo was not dreaming? However, the edict finally seemed to give all parties a guarantee, that is, the princes could enter Beijing in a way that they thought was safe. The only way to ensure safety was by force, and if they were not loyal to their own armed forces, it would be useless to say anything, and Situ Tai believed that Situ Biao, who also received the edict of conscription, agreed with Li Wufeng and others.
"Leng Lao, what the hell do you think Lao Jiu's edict is up to? Let's enter Beijing in a way that we think is safe, so can I bring a legion into Beijing? Could it be that Lao Jiu will also let the Praetorian Guards open the city gate to welcome us into Beijing? Then it is better to give up the throne directly." Situ Tai was like a restless wolf, scurrying back and forth in the room, this situation beyond his control made him feel uneasy, seeing that the negotiation conditions with Lao Jiu were both in agreement, but suddenly Lao Jiu's people broke off the negotiation, and Lao Jiu came to such a move, could it be that there was something wrong with Lao Jiu's side that made Lao Jiu suddenly change his mind?
Situ Tai has long known that Lao Liu has been cheering for Lao Jiu, but Lao Jiu is not stupid, he should also know what idea Lao Liu has in his stomach, Lao Liu is now crazy about expanding his armaments, the purpose is very clear, that is, to prepare to fight with himself, but although his Sixth Legion is not weak, at most it can compete with his own Second Legion, and other newly established troops are not worth mentioning at all, not to mention that Lao Liu also needs to guard against the Maqi Khans in the south, just as he also needs to guard against the Kaman and Poole, Yusuf, that old fox, he has spent countless efforts but still can't master him, it seems that he can't be counted on, in this way, it will be a little difficult for him to overpower the other party with his strength, thinking of this, Situ Tai feels even more upset.
"Your Highness, don't worry too much, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, he has a good plan, I have a wall ladder, and in the end I still need strength to decide success or failure, these tricks are just some gimmicks, since His Royal Highness Nine let us choose freely, then let's not talk about bringing a legion, but it is not too much to bring two or three divisions into Beijing, right? If His Royal Highness feels unstable, he might as well pull the Third Highness into our camp, His Royal Highness the Ninth has never beaten the Third Highness in the eye, and the Sixth Highness and the Third Highness are mortal enemies, they will never be able to go together, as for Li Wufeng, the old man judged that this time the Five Kings entered Beijing, Li Wufeng, the foreign surname of the vassal king, probably had the intention of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, but this is fine, as long as Li Wufeng does not get involved, we are not afraid even if we turn Zhongzhou upside down." Leng Qianlang laughed and cheered for his master.
"But what if Li Wufeng is on the side of the ninth and sixth children?" Situ Tai is still skeptical, he knows very well the strength of Li Wufeng's army, it is not inferior to himself, once the three parties join forces, I am afraid that even if he has the support of the third child, he will have no chance of winning, especially in Yanjing City, there is also an erratic Praetorian Guard Legion, according to various intelligence, it is confirmed that Ma Yuanxiang, the commander of the Praetorian Legion, does not seem to be completely mastered by Si Laojiu, especially in the recent past, Ma Yuanxiang is even more secluded, and his control over the Praetorian Guard has been greatly weakened, so that the Praetorian Guard, the most powerful armed force in Yanjing City, is even more leaderless, it is very likely to cause a catastrophe that is difficult to make up.
"Does Your Highness think that His Highness the Ninth and Sixth Highnesses will believe Li Wufeng?" Leng Qian smiled and asked rhetorically, "In the opinion of the old man, I am afraid that the suspicion of the Ninth Highness and the Sixth Highness of Li Wufeng is only deeper than that of us, it is not that the old man insults the Ninth Highness and the Sixth Highness, borrowing the courage of the two of them, they do not dare to join forces with Li Wufeng, there are too many cases of luring wolves into the house and opening the door to steal, if it is not good to take the lead, this Yanjing City will have to change its surname."
