Li Guorui's eyes showed a look of surprise and said with a smile: "Yue Shiyi, when did you come to Beijing?"

The visitor was the first general of the Great Wei Dynasty in the world. He defended heavily, remained as a mountain, and had no flaws. He used more than 10,000 people to fight against more than 30,000 Donghu cavalry without falling behind. He was always as firm as mountains, until reinforcements arrived and finally returned without success.

Yue Zhi's military officials also took one step at a time. Although he was from a Hebei general family, he was from the team officer, the chief of the general, the deputy commander of the camp, the deputy commander of the army, the deputy commander of the army, the commander of the army, and the commander of the army, and then the commander of the wing capital, the deputy commander of the army, and the commander of the army, and the commander of the army, if he did not become a Taiwei, the commander of the commander of the Great Wei military officer was the peak of the actual position of the Great Wei military officer. The honorary rank was the upper guard, the champion general, and the governor of the Zhennan Army. This was already the level of the Taiwei. On the other side, that is, the general of the auxiliary country, the pillar country, and the governor of one or two towns, to achieve the peak of the position of military officials.

"I came to Beijing last night and came in before the city gate was closed. It was already a little too late to settle down. I thought I would come to visit the government today..." Yue Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that I would be rushing for this big excitement."

"It's okay, you're a step late, otherwise it would be difficult for you to get out." Li Guorui was glad for Yue Zhi.

If Yue Zhi had arrived one day earlier, Liu Zhiyuan would definitely summon Yue Zhi to his side and make a decision here. When the plan emerges, with famous generals like Yue Zhi following him, Liu Zhiyuan should sleep more peacefully.

Fortunately, it's really okay.

"Along the way, I heard rumors that Liu Dasan had been killed by Xu Zi, the Marquis of Nan'an?" Of course, Yue Zhi was not sad or angry. Liu Zhiyuan was his boss who was one layer away. He had met several times. Yue Zhi had no good feelings for Liu Zhiyuan's struggle for power and profit, disregarding national affairs for the sake of party struggles, and even Han Zhong's luxury and personal ethics.

Only Liu Zhiyuan's ambition to the Northern Expedition was quite agreed with Yue Zhi, which was also one of the reasons why he became the Liu faction's periphery.

Although Yue Zhi had a tactical style like a rock, thick and stable, he was one of the firm Northern Expeditionists in strategy. With Yue Zhi's ability, of course he knew that the northern imperial guards could not withstand the many attacks of the Donghu. Last year, the Hebei imperial guards barely maintained their mobility under the leadership of Li Guorui and found an opportunity to bite the Donghu people and get down with a piece of meat.

But that's all. After being entered by Donghu a few more times, the people were completely defeated. The people who could fight and dared to fight in the imperial guards would be killed or injured. At that time, they would lose their strategic initiative and fight on their own. They would only be divided and surrounded by superior cavalry and would not even have the power to fight back.

What is important is that the court's financial resources cannot support such a strategy. If the financial resources are sufficient, the imperial guards will be compensated as much as they lose, and even recruit more imperial guards and wing troops to build forts and villages everywhere to provide shelter to the people. In the local area, civil officials are competent and military generals dare to fight. Just like the Taizu and Emperor Xuanzong and Renzong periods, the annual income of 200 million yuan can be achieved, and this level of defense can be achieved.

In this way, the Donghu will get much lower than the losses. They will not dare to come if they invite Donghu people to come.

However, with the current national strength and financial resources, we cannot achieve such a level of defense. We can only be passively beaten, and the more we beat, the weaker we will be. The Donghu people have achieved greater results every time. At that time, it may not be entering the country once a few years, but Hu cavalry will enter the country every year, or even enter twice or three times a year.

The defense of the border will become more and more difficult, and the defense will be weakened. If it reaches this level, it is like cutting wood. First cut branches, remove the roots, and then cut them deeper and deeper. Finally, when you fall, you kick it. A hundred-year-old tree can be cut down so easily.

Yue Zhi agreed with the Northern Expedition and therefore supported Liu Zhiyuan. Now that Liu Zhiyuan was killed, Yue Zhi's unwillingness and concerns were quite obvious.

"The rumors are true."

Li Guorui of course had his own source of information, and at least he was one of the ruling powers. He said to Yue Zhi: "The Marquis of Nan'an led 150 people to rush to the Dasan Mansion, and beheaded the Dasan Mansion, forcing the Qimen Order Xu Ziwei. Now there are more than 2,000 guards guarding outside the Dasan Mansion, waiting for the emperor's order."

"Does the emperor have an order to ask the Privy Council to send troops?" Yue Zhi asked immediately, and then sighed: "This Marquis of Nan'an is like a powerful general like Li Youde?"

"There are many powerful generals under his command." Li Guorui sighed: "Unexpectedly, there are many heroes on Fujian Road far south."

"If you have the chance, I really want to meet you."

"If Li Youde was there, he would have rode his horse to the Dasan Mansion to meet those warriors."

Li Guorui and Yue Zhi were not moved. One hundred and fifty people rushed into the Dasan Mansion in the important place of the capital and beheaded important officials of the Wei Dynasty like Liu Zhiyuan. Not to mention Xu Zixian's courage, the 150 people under his command must be extremely brave heroes. For Yue Zhi and Li Guorui who have been in the army for a long time, they were also quite curious about the troops led by Xu Zixian.

At this time, Li Guorui turned his mind and said to Yue Zhi: "I have not received the imperial edict yet. Just now, the commander of the Duxiang army, Wang Tong, came and left disappointed."

The Privy Council has the power to send troops, and of course there is also the Political Affairs Hall. The commanders of each wing have the power to command troops, but they do not have the power to send troops.

In fact, the Privy Council also needs to obey the imperial edict, especially in the capital, even the Privy Council has no expedient means. Only local police and small matters such as robbery are mostly decided by the Political Affairs Hall and Privy Council.

For example, if Xu Zixian was appointed as the regiment training envoy, he allowed the recruitment of regiment training military soldiers. This was the decision of the Political Affairs Hall, and the Privy Council issued a document to the Fujian Road Grand Governor's Office.

As for sending a small number of troops to quell the robbery and chaos, instead of fighting with foreign enemies, the Privy Council can make a decision on its own. If a general who is in charge of the army, that is, the commander of the wing capital, must go to war, the emperor must issue an edict and a letter to the hall, and then the Privy Council can follow this.

Of course, Wang Tong hoped that the emperor could issue an edict to quell the rebellion after dawn. Xu Zixian could lead 150 people to block the Lang Wei with more than 2,000 people, but he could never stop the imperial army of the Beijing camp.

After all, the imperial guards in the Beijing camp were ordered to go on war many times. There were many military officers and soldiers in the army with experience in combat formations, including 150 people. No matter how brave they are, they are not an enemy in one go.

But the emperor did not have an edict, so Wang Tong could only return disappointed. As Liu Zhiyuan's iron-core and a senior general of the imperial guards, he would definitely be smuggled out in the first round of the purge hosted by Han Zhong. He would probably be able to save his life, but his power could not be saved. Wang Tong is looking forward to not scout his house, just leave him more property.

"Several wing commanders, the three ranks of officials, the Ministry of Personnel, several temple ministers, well, and He Yan..." Li Guorui calculated Yue Zhi, and it was estimated that after several rounds of cleaning, more than 200 people in the seventh rank and above of the court officials would be removed from office."

"It's okay." Li Guorui smiled and said, "If Mr. Han falls, this number will be increased several times, and the court will be empty."

"Priorship is a bit unfair." Yue Zhi said in a deep voice: "In fact, the rule is not Liu Zhiyuan's private party. He just agrees with the Northern Expedition just like him and will get closer to Liu Dasan."

"Let's see how the emperor wants." Li Guorui said: "Mr. Han has turned to support the Northern Expedition. If we can keep it, I am afraid that Mr. Han will not go back on his word and make things right. But in the hearts of the people, I will not fight. It's just a great thing to go out."

The most important thing for Li Guorui to become one of the rulers is his great victory over Donghu last year, which was a real field merit. The court was afraid that he would be shameless to say that Li Guorui had obtained the rule only after he clinged to Liu Zhiyuan. This cool umbrella was obtained by Li Guorui's own contribution. If he wanted to take it away, the court would be shameless.

Besides, as long as the emperor and Han Zhong want to fight the Northern Expedition, Li Guorui will not be able to preside over this world-renowned war.

By the same token, generals like Yue Zhi and Li Youde cannot be separated. This is also the confidence that Yue Zhi did not panic after knowing that Liu Zhi was dead.

"Now I'm waiting for Mr. Han to enter the palace." Li Guorui smiled and said, "The emperor is afraid that his spirit is not smooth, so he will not ask Mr. Han to do things well, and there will be some twists and turns."

"The emperor likes to do some tricks." Yue Zhi said disapprovingly: "At this point, all the world is corrupt, and there must be a source of sin."

Li Guorui deeply agreed with the power prime minister, internal struggle, mutiny, and the Wei court gradually reached its current level. Of course, the culprit was the emperor. All the people were guilty, and the crime was in my hands.

But to this point, it’s almost done. Can’t you drive the emperor off the stage?

Who can rush into the palace and cut off the emperor's head?

"I'm going to the Neidong Gate." Li Guorui said: "I think there are already many people coming and going there. Now it depends on how the emperor and Mr. Han do it."

"I hope to put national affairs first." Yue Zhi sighed and said, "If there are strong enemies outside, you must not be in civil unrest."

"It's hard." Li Guorui also shook his head and sighed. Yue Zhi was going to the Privy Council and the Political Affairs Hall to report. When he entered the city yesterday, he thought he had signed up at Xuande Gate. Next, he went to the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council. Yue Zhi was summoned to Beijing. Many people speculated that Yue Zhi was to be the chief officer of the Beijing camp and became one of the ten-controlled troops. However, Liu Zhiyuan, who was in charge of the matter, had been killed. Yue Zhi's arrangement depends on Han Zhong's intention. It is difficult to say whether Yue Zhi can stay in Beijing.

As for Li Guorui himself, whether he could stay in the capital under the great purge after the party struggles is really only between the two.

What else can I say about state affairs?

...

Han Zhong had already rushed to the palace gate.

As soon as the sky was dawn, the gate of the prime minister's mansion opened. Wang Zhi led 300 people, plus the prime minister's 100 yuan, and 400 people came out of the prime minister's mansion. Shi Yuji and Chen Changde had already knelt on the ground to apologize to Han Zhong.

Han Zhong glanced at the two of them and started to act without saying a word.

The more than a thousand people Lang Wei looked full of fear. When he saw Han Zhong, there were many people trembling in his battle, and the long slut in his hands seemed like a burden. If Han Zhong coughed, he would probably have many Lang Guans and Jinwuwei knelt on the ground on the spot.

"The emperor sent such a person to take my life?" Han Zhong felt contemptuous and thought to himself: "But that's it."

Before, he was trembling, but now it seems that the emperor's authority is just like this, and Lang Wei is just like this.

If Liu Zhiyuan could control more of the power of the imperial guards after the fall of the country, and more generals in the mansion could be used, the emperor's Langwei would not have been like this. Since then, within at least three years, the emperor could not help a person like Liu Zhiyuan to fight against Han Zhong. In the past few years, he would do his best to make plans. Even if the emperor had the will to plan, Han Zhong would be safe within ten years.

This is the overall situation. It is not so easy to get the position of the important ministers and prime ministers who hold the power and control the court.

Especially under Dangjinzi's men.

The more he likes to plot against his ministers, the more likely he will fall into the pit he dug. When Han Zhong thought of this, he sneered on his face.
