denied several ideas he came up with one after another, Cheng Shuiyao was a little frustrated, but he was not discouraged and continued to think about it.

"Containment, ......"

Cheng Shuiyao's self-talk suddenly stopped, as if she had thought of something, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Now, the prime minister is ahead of them, so they are in a very passive position, and they can only be forced to take the move, but at the same time, the way to break this situation is also very simple, they only need to be one step ahead of the prime minister.

Thinking of the previous incident of the Huaishui Ministry, Cheng Shuiyao raised her eyebrows and smiled, and had a calculation in her heart.

It is also a good way to treat others as they are.

After thinking about it for a while, Cheng Shuiyao finalized some details, didn't rush out, lay on the ground on his back, and began to ponder other things.

On the other side, in Xiao Zhenheng's study.

The father and son sat opposite each other, but their eyes never took off the capital defense map on the table.

This thing is classified, and logically they shouldn't have it, but apparently, they have their own way of getting it.

"What do you mean...... The prime minister will take the opportunity to do something here," Xiao Zhenheng looked at the direction of Xiao Ji's finger, frowning a little incredulously, "But it's too easy to guard against here!" All it takes is a few more men to nip his plan in the cradle. ”

"This is the genius of the prime minister," Xiao Ji waved his hand, not feeling that there was a problem with his idea at all. "He just knew that we didn't believe this, so he dared to set up manpower here in an attempt to catch us off guard."

"But it's all your own thoughts, what if the prime minister doesn't think so?" Xiao Zhenheng still felt that his idea was a bit risky and did not intend to agree.

"Then we'll have people in each direction, so that nothing goes wrong." Xiao Ji didn't force him to listen to his opinion, he took a step back and chose a compromise method.

"That's a way to do it, too." Xiao Zhenheng didn't react much to this proposal, just fixed his eyes on this piece of paper, looking at every detail over and over again.

"Any other questions?" Xiao Ji saw that his expression didn't look like that of solving the matter, so he frowned and spoke.

Xiao Zhenheng didn't answer at first, and after a while, he suddenly looked up, "Is there a possibility that the prime minister has placed people everywhere?" ”

"All places?"

Xiao Ji didn't rush to talk, just looked down at the piece of paper, and stretched out his hand to mark the places that were easy to be exploited.

This is a lot of people, and if a large number of people are arranged in each place, the prime minister may not be able to dispatch them.

"But that's too many, isn't it?" Xiao Ji directly said his doubts.

"I received a message a few days ago," Xiao Zhenheng sighed and spoke slowly, "The few armies guarding the frontier have always been inexplicably few people recently, and those people have something to do with ridicule. ”

"You mean that the prime minister took the eyeliner he planted in the frontier and returned to Beijing?" Xiao Ji gasped, he didn't expect the prime minister to play so much.

This is not a trivial matter, not to mention the problem of food and clothing for those people, just talking about their entry into Beijing, it can be said that it is as difficult as heaven

"I heard that the general defending the city was bought by the prime minister early in the morning, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to bring people in," Xiao Zhenheng smiled bitterly, and he could be regarded as recognizing the complexity of this matter, "The frontier is so far away from the capital, the news is not delivered in a timely manner, and even if the matter is exposed, these people will only be dealt with as deserters, and they will not be reported to the capital at all." ”

"When did those people start missing?" Xiao Ji's eyes lit up, and he quickly started his brain.

There are thousands of miles between the frontier and the capital, and if the prime minister wants his people to arrive in the capital smoothly, he should let them leave at least half a year in advance.

"It's too late for the news to reach me, but I assume they'll be gone for about seven months."

That's more than enough time.

Xiao Ji secretly grinded his teeth, he didn't expect the prime minister to be able to play so big.

Transferring troops from the frontier can satisfy the need for secrecy, but also make it impossible for others to prepare, except for the complexity of sending information back and forth, it is almost a seamless plan.

If they hadn't come together today to figure out the cause and effect behind this matter, I'm afraid they wouldn't have noticed this.

"Aren't you able to search the capital, starting tomorrow, you will specifically go to those people with non-local accents and check their household registrations one by one." Xiao Zhenheng frowned and said with a serious face, "If you find that they are suspected of rushing here from the frontier, don't startle them, quickly report to the emperor and leave it to him to decide." ”

Xiao Ji agreed with the previous content, and nodded his head from time to time in response, but he was a little puzzled by the last sentence, and frowned and said, "Report to the emperor?" ”

"You are stupid, of course this kind of thing has to borrow the emperor's hand," Xiao Zhenheng glared at his son with some hatred, and then spoke, "If you do it, then the goal will be too obvious, besides, how can you have the hands to do this?" ”

It's not for nothing.

Xiao Ji retorted in his heart, but he didn't put this sentence on the surface.

Xiao Zhenheng is not clear about how powerful he is now, and he does not have a clear understanding of how capable he is.

But he didn't plan to tell Xiao Zhenheng all this, because some things couldn't be exposed too early.

Looking at Xiao Ji's expression, Xiao Zhenheng sighed and slowed down his tone, "You restrain your edge a little and leave this matter to the emperor to do, he will do it more resolutely than you." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Ji nodded, but he had no opinion on this.

Although this emperor is a kind lord on the face, his methods are not simple at all If he can catch the handle of the prime minister, he may be killed directly without giving him a chance to breathe.

"I'm white now, and it's not easy to mix so much, you can decide the rest yourself, in short, you can count it." Xiao Zhenheng didn't have full authority to take care of this matter, so he opened his mouth when he saw that it was good, and after speaking, he got up and left here, leaving the space to Xiao Ji.

Xiao Ji's mind was a little troubled, staring at the picture on the table, his eyes darkened.

At the same time, in the archives of the Huaishui Department, Moshu lay down in front of the table, carefully checking the last volume of files.

When I raised my eyes again, it was already dark.

Somewhat helplessly, Moshu lit the candle in front of him, arranged the last scroll, and put it where it belonged.

Although the amount of work is a bit large, after his efforts in the past few days, he finally has a relatively complete result.

Moshu stretched, and finally had a smile on his face.
