When the news of the victory and defeat of the Ling League and the Chu League came out, the provinces of Lingzhou and even the states were moved!

Chu Junyan actually broke through the Dharma Venerable Realm!

Under the siege of the two Dharma Venerables in the middle of the realm, they can still kill one of them?

And as the chaos of the Dayu Dynasty, the first Venerable fell!

In the palace of King Xuan in Danzhou, King Xuan, who had been contaminated with iron and blood at this time, was heroic and majestic, sitting on the main seat, his eyes sharp.

Recently, Xuan's many heroes and generals have defeated the forces gathered in Danzhou, and he has taken nine of the twelve mansions in Danzhou, and the other forces can only shrink into the last three mansions.

As for Chu Junyan killing a Venerable, his eyes fluctuated for a while, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

There are three adjacent states near Danzhou, Qingzhou, Zhaozhou and Yanzhou.

Among them, the largest force in Qingzhou is the Zhou family of King Xuan's mother, and they must fully support King Xuan, and King Xuan has been supported by most of the forces in Qingzhou to help King Xuan contain the power of Yanzhou.

Therefore, King Xuan now only needs to deal with the big forces in Danzhou and the hidden family.

"Xingyu, how is the movement of the Zhenguo Mansion?"

The most relied on strategist of King Xuan below, Lu Xingyu bowed his head and said solemnly:

"Your Highness, the enemy army has contacted the Zhenguo Mansion many times, but the Zhenguo Mansion has not moved, and it seems that it is still integrating Zhaozhou."

"Still integrating Zhaozhou?"

King Xuan's eyes were calm, and he looked at the Wenchen military generals below and asked:

"What do you think Chu Junxiong wants to do?"

I saw another literati strategist get up and speak:

"Your Highness, the minister thinks that Chu Junxiong is likely to strike when we have a decisive battle and crush us in one fell swoop."

An imposing military general said:

"Now these forces in Danzhou are no longer our opponents, and they want to seek the cooperation of the Zhenguo government, but the Zhenguo government does not seem to agree."

"Hmph, how can the Zhenguo Mansion agree, cooperating is equivalent to putting these forces in Danzhou in the same position, the forces that have been beaten by us are embarrassed, and the idea of the Zhenguo Mansion should be to recruit them!"

"That's right, Zhenguofu is ambitious, it is impossible to cooperate with the Danzhou forces, the end of the destruction of these forces in Danzhou is already doomed, Zhenguofu is ready to subdue them at the last moment, and then invade Danzhou, killing two birds with one stone!"

"We can't let the Zhenguo Mansion sit behind the back and reap the benefits of the fisherman!"

"So what do we do?"

"What else, directly suppress them with the general momentum, and find an opportunity to destroy them in one fell swoop!"

"The idea of the Zhenguo Mansion, it is impossible for them not to know about these forces in Danzhou, I don't believe that they are not angry with Chu Junxiong, since the Zhenguo Mansion wants to recruit them, why can't we, we can also secretly recruit one or two forces!"

"With them as an internal response, we can quickly solve Danzhou when the Zhenguo Government has no time to react, and then integrate Danzhou to confront the Zhenguo Government at the border!"

King Xuan's advisers and generals began to talk one after another, and King Xuan quietly listened to their exchange, and when he heard this, King Xuan's eyes flashed.

glanced at Lu Xingyu below, and nodded slightly.

This plan is feasible, but it still requires precise calculations, provided that we control Danzhou.

He secretly recruited several forces, some of which took refuge in the open, and some of the forces that secretly surrendered could follow the other forces to join the Zhenguo Mansion............

Liangzhou, Yuwangfu.

When the white-clothed King learned about the situation in Lingzhou, his face was still calm, and he was not in the mood to pay attention to Lingzhou in the distance now.

The two major forces of Liangzhou and the three hermit families joined forces to deal with King Yu.

Yangzhou was in civil strife, and King Yu's power in Yangzhou was also contained.

"Your Highness, a letter from Yangzhou, they have agreed to submit to Your Highness."

A strategist walked quickly, with a faint excitement in his eyes, Yangzhou could finally solve it.

"Let them not worry, continue to let Yangzhou civil strife continue!"

King Yu slowly poured a cup of tea and handed it to the strategist with his own hands, saying meaningfully.

The strategist's eyes moved, and he respectfully took the teacup and said:

"The minister understands!"

………………

Yizhou, on the city wall of a high-rise building, the king of Ming is wearing a light purple and gold cloak, with a trace of bloody wind blowing, the cloak is bulging, and the tall and mighty figure of the king of Ming stands still.

Behind him, a heroic young general stood quietly behind King Ming.

"Don't worry, Fang Shiyuan, the son of Fang Wukui, successfully broke through the Tianwu Realm in the battle with the young hall master surnamed Cheng of Zhongyi Hall, and he was seriously injured in the second battle, is there any pressure?"

King Ming's tone was slightly playful.

Ji Wuwu, the son of Ji Wushuang, one of the top ten famous generals of Dayu, has now been attached to King Ming.

The gale was very strong, and Ji Wuwu's face hurt a little, and his eyes were full of war:

"Please give me a chance, His Royal Highness King Ming!"

"Three days later, those forces in Luzhou will send their younger generation of children to come this time, the time and place, this king will hand it over to you, and you will lead the Zheng family's people to intercept and kill them!"

"Yes!"

After Ji Wuwu received the order, he slowly retreated.

Soon, a thin figure slowly approached King Ming.

"Ahem!"

A cough made King Ming turn around quickly, looking at Su Qingxian, who was a little pale, King Ming wrinkled slightly, with a trace of worry in his eyes, and untied the cloak on his body and quickly draped it on Su Qingxian.

"Qingxian, it's windy up the city tower, you shouldn't come up."

Su Qingxian shrunk back, feeling the temperature brought by the cloak, and his heart was warm.

"Your Highness, this little wind is fine."

King Ming patted him on the shoulder, and the killing intent in his heart was almost overflowing.

Su Qingxian was poisoned!

And it is poisoned unknowingly!

"Your Highness, Ruochen guessed correctly, the situation in Lingzhou is about to be decided."

Su Qingxian saw the killing intent on King Ming's face, and the bitterness in his heart was enough to cover the pain in his body, knowing that these forces were powerful, but he still couldn't prevent it, and he was still hit.

This is a highly poisonous poison, and there is no cure, and the Ming King's search for famous doctors and healing elixirs everywhere now is just delaying time.

"Do you think the fifth will lose?"

When King Ming heard this, his brows furrowed even deeper, and he took a step to the left, and the tall and majestic figure just blocked the gale.

Su Qingxian tightened the cloak that floated lightly on his body, shook his head with a heavy face, and said:

"I can't see clearly, the King of Chu and Chu Junyan both want to clear the various forces in Lingzhou at once, Chu Junyan is not simple, and the King of Chu is also not simple, it depends on how they use each other."

King Ming thought that Lingzhou was going to win, and there was a trace of impatience in his eyes:

"When the situation in Lingzhou is clear, can we unify Yizhou?"

Su Qingxian saw King Ming's impatience, so he could only smile bitterly and comforted:

"Your Highness, there is no hurry to unify Yizhou, although the big forces in Luzhou and Fengzhou have joined forces to send people to deal with us, it is not enough to solve the people they sent to make these forces suffer heavy losses, we also need to lure them to send more strong men and armies to come."

"Now that Yizhou is under our control, they will die as many as they come!

It would be too troublesome to solve one force at a time, and we would be prone to suffer losses if we could deal with the main forces of these forces in Yizhou, and it would be much easier for us to attack Luzhou and Fengzhou.

Your Royal Highness, King Xuan and King Yu all think the same, luring those ambitious forces to their home turf. ”

"Then Lingzhou, do we need to intervene?"

"No, if Your Highness interferes in Lingzhou, they will easily guess that we still have spare strength, and it will cause a lot of trouble to our future plans, cough cough ......"

"You say, will the fifth child die?"

"Ahem...... Ahem, I don't know! ”

The wind howled......

………………

In the Kyoto Imperial Palace, now that the palace has changed to a new emperor, all the eunuchs and palace maids have been replaced, and Li Yao has not been the emperor for a long time, coupled with the situation when Li Yao ascended the throne, so there are not many concubines, let alone queens, and the ministers have not persuaded them.

Early in the morning, Li Yao, who was crowned like jade in the main hall, sat on the dragon chair in a dragon suit, listening to the ministers report on the situation in the states of the Yu Dynasty, dozens of hundreds of officials stood in the hall, but only a few people spoke.

Li Yao's eyes were cold and he looked at the officials who supported King Ming, King Xuan, and King Yu.

When it comes to the discussion of the Three Kings, the supporters of these parties will talk about it, and they will all unite and want to ask Li Yao to allocate funds immediately!

Sending troops, not mentioning it at all!

Hehe!

And the six important ministers either bowed their heads and remained silent in the early court, or squinted their eyes and stood there silently, as if they were asleep, although when they questioned them, they were extremely respectful on the surface, but in their hearts they did not take themselves seriously.

Li Yao suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at the officials below with a calm face as usual, and said, "What else do you Aiqing have to play?" ”

When the officials heard this, they didn't make the slightest move, and most of the officials looked at the prime minister and the captain in front of them.

Seeing this, another anger rose in Li Yao's eyes, clenched the fist hidden in the dragon embroidery, and then calmed the anger in his heart and stood up and said:

"If you have nothing to do, that's all for today, let's retreat!"

Seeing Li Yao get up and leave, the officials respectfully bowed.

After Li Yao strode back to the imperial study, the originally hidden anger was undisguised, and he slammed the table on the ground!

Boom!

The guards outside the imperial study heard the sound of Li Yao smashing things angrily, and his body shrunk slightly, looking like he couldn't hear anything.

"Brother Huang is angry again?"

At this time, Li Heng, the tallest sixth prince, walked outside the door of the imperial study, heard the voice in the imperial study, and asked a chief eunuch who was waiting respectfully in front of the door with a pale face and a particularly feminine atmosphere.

When the surrounding little eunuchs saw Li Heng asking the new chief eunuch Liu Jin, they hurriedly lowered their heads.

Chief Manager Li, who had followed His Majesty Emperor Yu, had already gone to guard the mausoleum with a large number of concubines such as the queen.

In a short period of time, this Liu Jin was recognized by His Majesty Emperor Yao and became his personal manager.

Liu Jin watched Li Heng arrive, and hurriedly showed a hint of joy, and said:

"King Heng, you are here, go and persuade Your Majesty."

Liu Jin looked into the imperial study, revealing a worried look.

"Okay, you go and tell the imperial brother, and say I'm here."

Li Heng saw the worried look on Liu Jin's face, and a gleam flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Liu Jin cautiously approached the door of the imperial study and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, King Heng begs to see!"

Suddenly, the chaotic sound of the imperial study disappeared, and after a while, Li Yao's deep voice finally sounded in the imperial study:

"Bring him in!"

Liu Jin gently opened the door of the imperial study and made an inviting gesture to King Heng:

"His Royal Highness King Heng, please!"

King Heng tidied up his neat clothes and stepped into the imperial study.

Liu Jin followed closely and closed the door with his hand.

Li Heng looked at Li Yao sitting on the dragon chair, and noticed that the desk was still a little messy, and then saluted Li Yao:

"Brother courtier, meet Your Majesty!"

"Sixth brother doesn't have to be polite."

Li Yao got up with a smile and came to Li Heng to help him up.

After Li Yao ascended the throne, Li Heng appeared in front of Li Yao and helped him give advice, which won Li Yao's trust.

"Sixth brother sit."

Li Yao nodded slightly to the respectful Liu Jin on the side, this is the eunuch he dug up.

The eunuch found in the palace just a few days after ascending the throne was well-organized, reasonable and well-founded to convince the eunuchs, plus Li Yao specially asked the former manager Li, and the manager Li also said that Liu Jin was a talent and could be used!

Therefore, Li Yao was very relieved of Liu Jin and put him by his side, no matter what Li Yao told him to do, he could solve it perfectly.

"How is the imperial brother trying to win over the important ministers who remain neutral?"

Hearing Li Heng's words, Li Yao's anger that had been calmed rose again.

Li Yao has been pulling in the relationship with the ministers during this time, and wants to subdue some important ministers who remain neutral, so that they can slowly gain control of the imperial court, but how can those important ministers not know what's going on, anyway, Li Yao said what to answer, but when Li Yao revealed his intentions, he was always changed the topic by them, and Li Yao couldn't get angry.

"Alas, these ministers are still testing me."

Li Heng's eyes moved, he understood what Li Yao meant, and then smiled: "Imperial brother, these ministers know the situation of the Dayu Dynasty, so they are all waiting to see the imperial brother, everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as the imperial brother is supported by a heavyweight, they will slowly take refuge in His Royal Highness!" ”

"Oh? Is there a way for the sixth brother? ”

Li Yao asked in surprise.

"Imperial brother, Lu Xun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has a daughter named Lu Qianyan, this woman is a famous talented woman in Kyoto, and Lu Xun's most beloved daughter, and Your Majesty, you are now an un......married concubine."

"As long as the imperial brother's holy decree is announced to the world, the temptation of the position of the noble concubine, even Lu Xun has to agree, if he does not agree, it will be a rebellion, and then the imperial brother can also make an example of a hundred and deter the court!"

Li Yao understood what Li Heng meant, but hesitated:

"I understand the idea of the sixth brother, but why did I choose Lu Xun's daughter, why didn't I choose the daughter of Prime Minister Lin, I remember that he has a little daughter who he loves very much, and I can make her my queen!"

Li Heng's eyes moved, but he lowered his head and said:

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Lin Cheng is the head of a hundred officials, and his prestige is too great, if His Majesty persecutes the prime minister in this way, I am afraid that it will backfire, and the people can only slowly figure it out."

Li Yao looked at Li Heng who was bowing his head, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly laughed:

"Haha, it's still the sixth brother who has a heart, but I'm too anxious."

Seeing that Li Yao agreed, Li Heng smiled respectfully and said: "Wanfu to the imperial brother, when Lu Xun takes refuge, the imperial brother will take the imperial court just around the corner!" ”

"Haha, it's still the sixth brother who is smart!"

"Brother Huang, in addition to winning over the ministers, the ministers think that we also need to have the means to deter and suppress the hundred officials!"

"Oh? What else does the sixth brother have to suggest? Li Yao looked at Li Heng in surprise.

Li Heng glanced at Li Yao and said respectfully: "A big reason why we subdued the ministers is because of the lack of information about them, and the imperial brother needs to control the secret guard as soon as possible!" ”

"Dark Guard!"

Li Yao's brows furrowed tightly, the intelligence organization that Emperor Yu once established, the shadow guard, but this shadow guard has always been collecting the situation of the forces in various states as the main purpose, although the intelligence of the hundred officials has also been collected, but it is not the focus of attention, and the three kings seem to have been acquiesced by Emperor Yu, and they have already inserted a lot of people in the secret guard, causing him to dare not believe the situation of the secret guard now.

Li Yao met Li Heng's expectant gaze and sighed: "Sixth brother doesn't know, some of the secret guards secretly disobey the yang and the yin, and the information is seriously delayed, I am very helpless, it will take a long time to integrate the secret guard." ”

"The situation of the Dark Guard is so serious?"

Li Heng frowned.

Li Yao sighed and nodded.

After being silent for a while, Li Heng suddenly spoke:

"Since the secret guard has already made the imperial brother suspicious, why didn't the imperial brother set up a special agency to supervise the hundred officials!"

"Build your own agency?"

Li Yao fell into deep thought, and Li Heng glanced at Liu Jin, who was respectfully staying behind Li Yao, and continued:

"That's right, Brother Huang, now that Kyoto is in chaos, we have to keep the imperial court firmly in our hands, and we must re-establish an institution.

And now the only thing that can make the imperial brother believe is the people in the palace, it is better to train the eunuchs in the palace and let the eunuchs in the palace establish an institution, such an institution must be very loyal to the imperial brother, and no one will be able to infiltrate it! ”

Li Yao's expression was shocked, and his eyes stared at Li Heng with blazing eyes, yes, why didn't he think of it.

If he cultivated a group of eunuchs in the palace to establish an intelligence agency, they would definitely be very loyal to him, and he would be very relieved.

Even if this organization expands in the future, the high-level people must be eunuchs in the palace, and they will definitely be firmly in their own hands.

It can not only easily spy on intelligence, monitor hundreds of officials, but also deter hundreds of officials.

Li Yao stood up excitedly and walked towards Li Heng, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Sixth brother, your suggestion is very good, it can be regarded as a great help to me!" ”

"It is a blessing for the younger brother to be able to come up with ideas for the royal brother."

"Who do you think this institution will be set up with?"

"Brother Chen, I don't know, I need the imperial brother to decide for himself, but this person must be a eunuch in the palace, and this eunuch must be loyal to the imperial brother, and he must have the ability and skill!"

Li Heng bowed his head and said respectfully.

Hearing Li Heng's answer, Li Yao's eyes unconsciously looked at the respectful Liu Jin.

"Then sixth brother, how should we act?"

Next, after Li Yao and Li Heng continued to discuss how to establish this institution and the plan to win over and suppress some ministers, Li Yao sent Li Heng out of the palace with satisfaction.

Dusk fell, the setting sun shone on Li Yao's figure, and Li Yao's ambitious eyes were like an immature king gradually waking up!

Back in the imperial study, Li Yao looked at Liu Jin, who was waiting respectfully at the desk.

"Liu Jin!"

"The slave is here."

Li Yao stood with his hands behind his back, and looked at Liu Jin with admiration in his eyes.

"You also heard the conversation between me and King Heng just now!"

"How about I plan for you to set up this intelligence agency to oversee the hundred officials!"

Liu Jin's eyes widened slightly, looked at Li Yao in shock, and immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, you can't, the slave maid is not capable enough, I'm afraid of ruining Your Majesty's good deeds!" ”

"Haha, if you can't do it in the palace, who else can?" Li Yao saw that Liu Jin was so loyal, and he was even more sure of his decision in his heart.

"Okay, I have decided that it will be up to you to establish this intelligence agency, and I will provide you with all the exercises, treasures, and medicinal materials, and your task is to establish this intelligence agency, and I will know what officials said in the palace that day in the future!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! The slave and maid must live up to His Majesty's high expectations! Liu Jin looked at Li Yao with a touched face, and his tone was full of determination.

Li Yao was extremely satisfied with Liu Jin, and continued to buy people's hearts:

"Very good, since this institution is established and presided over by you, I will leave the name to you."

Liu Jin really showed a heart-wrenching expression at the right time.

"Your Majesty, since such an intelligence agency was established by the eunuchs in the palace, it is better to call it an insider factory!"

"Insider's Factory"

"Good name, I'm right!"
