Chapter 171 is an out-and-out villain
"It's good, but there's too much mud, and it's easy to muddy the water when it sinks into the lake."
Liu Zhiluo groaned, and then continued, "It's better to transplant plum trees in various gardens in the palace from tomorrow, just say that Liang Guiren likes it." ”
Last night, he found a topographical map of the palace and carefully questioned several very old chamberlains, including the envoy of the Yellow Gate when he served Emperor Shun.
Only then did I learn that even the court of the Han Dynasty already had a very developed drainage system, which spread all over the entire palace underground, crisscrossing and criss-crossing.
Moreover, the emperor's dormitory like Deyang Hall itself has a secret room that can avoid military disasters, and I have even heard that other major palaces have it.
But the drawings are nowhere to be found, and Liu Zhi is very suspicious that they are in the hands of the Empress Dowager Liang, that is to say, these so-called secret rooms are not secret at all, so he must build a new secret passage.
Because the Deyang Hall is in the center of the North Palace, it is not suitable for excavating the secret passage of the palace, and after research, it is located in the Pinghong Hall closest to the Xuanwu Gate.
The distance from Deyang Hall to Pinghong Hall can be slightly transformed with the help of the underground drainage system.
At the same time, a secret passage was also excavated on the side of Nangong, and the specific location was set in the Yellow Dragon Hall near Canglong Gate.
Before, he had not thought it through, and it was easy to expose his tracks for the excavated soil, but now Liu Zhi decided to simply go further.
There are several advantages to building everywhere, the first is naturally convenient to pile dirt, and the second is that he can take this opportunity to transfer more of his own people into the palace.
It is also convenient to monitor the situation in the palace and dig out those who have two minds.
"Your Majesty's idea is really wonderful, why can't the minister think of it."
Zuo Yi spared no effort to seize the opportunity to pat himself on the back, and Liu Zhi knew from the beginning that this guy was an out-and-out villain.
But there are many times, villains also have the benefits of villains, they will not question your decision, you point to the east and he will never fight the west, summed up in one word: obedient.
"Go ahead, hurry up and get it done, maybe it will come in handy at some point."
Zuo Yi promised to go again and again, Liu Zhi had a hunch that the storm was coming, and he had to race against time to take precautions.
"Leaflets, Yang Jian, Cao Teng, Zhang Biao, Xu Huang and Tang Heng."
The sense of urgency in his heart for no reason made him decide to take all precautions in advance, there was such a huge disparity in strength between Liang Ji and him at the beginning, if he hadn't been careless and underestimated the enemy, how could he let himself succeed?
Therefore, he can't make the same mistake again, not to mention that the other party's power should not be underestimated.
The lion fights the rabbit, and also uses all his strength, and he can't underestimate his opponent at any time.
Liu Zhi's caution and forbearance are probably also related to the fact that he comes from the bottom, has no sense of security, and does not have the superiority of other nobles and clans.
was thinking about how to lay out in front of the case, Tang Heng arrived, followed by Xu Huang, Shan Chao and others one after another.
"Sit down, you all know the situation in Beijing, you don't need me to say more,"
Liu Zhi tapped his fingers on the table, "Let's talk about it, what do you think." ”
The people here are all his henchmen, so they don't have to worry about leaking news, and most of their positions are closely related to security guards.
Yang Jian is in charge of intelligence collection, and when it comes to the situation in Beijing, he has the most right to speak, so as soon as Liu Zhi opened his mouth, everyone invariably focused their eyes on him.
"The latest news is that some people are secretly colluding, preparing to present hundreds of official letters in the court meeting the day after tomorrow, counting His Majesty's guilt."
Some people already knew about this news more or less, and several people whispered and exchanged opinions with each other, and then motioned for Yang Jian to continue to introduce the situation.
"At the same time, the guards and the guards of the holding Jingo have been gathering frequently recently, and there is a suspicion of covert deployment."
Zhang Biao's thick black eyebrows lifted when he heard this, "Those guys rely on their life experience, all of them can't lose their tails, they don't take me seriously at all." ”
"It's okay, you don't have to be angry, you just need to secretly observe their whereabouts."
Liu Zhi knew that he had a violent temper and was naturally upright, and he was afraid that something would happen to him, so he told him bluntly and asked him not to be impatient.
"Whoa."
Zhang Biao readily agreed, and Cao Teng also followed, "I have sent someone to secretly monitor the cavalry holding Jinwu, and if I find an abnormal movement, I will immediately take measures to intercept it." ”
Captain Sili's subordinates were originally full of 1,500 people, but Liu Zhi privately granted him privileges, allowing him to quietly expand to 3,000 people, doubling the number.
Fully capable of dealing with the cavalry and guards under Zhijingo.
"Very good, Captain Chengmen, I have arranged for the soldiers and horses of the state to come over for rotation, and it is estimated that they will be there tomorrow and the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Hearing Liu Zhi's words, everyone was in high spirits, and the number of soldiers and horses at the city gate captain was also quite large, once the situation changed, this was a great help.
"Starting tomorrow, I will use the excuse of transplanting flowers and trees, and I need to build a lot of construction, and I will find a way to send some people to pretend to be craftsmen."
"Whoa."
Time was of the essence, and he had to arrange it in one night.
"Are Hu Guang and Zhao Jie still the same?"
Liu Zhi turned his gaze to Yang Jian, since the last time he arranged it, according to the report, Hu Guang had been living in his home in Luxiang, but his disciples and disciples had frequent contacts.
And he and Liang Budo are good friends and often have dealings, which does sound very suspicious.
Zhao Jie, on the other hand, moved to a suburban farm, where he lived in seclusion, closed doors, and almost never interacted with anyone.
"Again, there's nothing special about it."
Liu Zhi nodded thoughtfully, "Continue to monitor." ”
Everyone then discussed the details of the defense in the palace for a while, and put forward a lot of good suggestions for Liu Zhi.
Finally, it is inevitable to mention the situation in Qing, Yan, Xu and other states.
There are all kinds of indications that the rebellion was instigated and financed by a certain bigwig in Beijing, and their purpose was to bring chaos to the world.
However, counterinsurgency is not an overnight effort, and there is no urgency, and the current situation can be stabilized and fought slowly and piecemeal, even if it is a victory.
The situation in Beijing is a big problem that needs to be solved urgently.
"Okay, from today's meeting, there will be no emergency, I will not summon you into the palace again, you can do your own duties."
This is the official announcement of the state of readiness, always ready to deal with the unexpected.
He took out a private seal, which was engraved with his words, Liu Yi.
"If I have an urgent edict, you can disobey and disrespect anyone who does not bear this seal."
Everyone immediately understood what he meant, the name Liu Yi has an extraordinary meaning for everyone here.
At the beginning, he traveled in micro-clothes and handed it in, which is the pseudonym he used.
In front of them, Liu Zhi is the emperor, the king, and they are the ministers.
But Liu Yi has another identity, because he used to be their friend and friend in trouble.
"Well, the ministers obey the king's orders."
In the Han Dynasty, people generally called him His Majesty, and only retainers or senators were qualified to call him king.
