"Then let's talk about your thoughts." Situ Mingyue said calmly.

"I think that if Li Wufeng's power is weakened at present, it will be too obvious, and it will be a bit inappropriate if he adjusts the position he holds. In my humble opinion, Li Wufeng can be allowed to rest in the imperial capital. First, considering that he has worked hard and made great contributions and guarded the border for a long time, so that he can rest for a while to show His Majesty's care; second, he is over 23 years old and has not yet been married. Considering that he was busy with official duties in the early stages, the northwest is basically stable, so he can spend more time considering his personal issues, and in disguise he is detained in the imperial capital, gradually weakening his control over the northwest and northern Luzon."

"On the other hand, we can do more work for his subordinates. As far as we know, most of his commanders in the northwest are from the city guard system, and they have mostly studied in the Imperial Military Academy. In terms of loyalty, they should still be loyal to the empire. We can contact more, contact more, and take various means to absorb them as much as possible. Even if it fails, it can deepen mutual suspicion between them. At the same time, the Imperial Military Academy can also increase the number of military officer training in the Northwest region, so that they can go to the imperial capital to train more. We can use this to do more work during this training period." He Zhiqiu smiled and proposed the first move.

"Well, continue." Situ Mingyue refused to comment.

"In addition, a considerable number of officials in their government system are officials of the former Northwest administrative system. We can contact them through the original relationship, and at the same time, we can use training to get them to the Imperialist University for short-term training and then develop them. At the same time, given the lack of talents in the Northwest, we can develop some talents in the Imperial University, and then recommend them to the Northwest to serve, and gradually take over the administrative power in the Northwest to the Empire." He Zhiqiu put forward the second point. Although the words were very implicit, the meaning was self-evident.

"As long as Li Wufeng stays in the imperial capital for a long time, his influence in the northwest and even Northern Luzon will inevitably gradually decrease, and his control over his subordinates will gradually weaken. At that time, Your Majesty, you will adjust him openly. Whether you change to other counties to serve or stay in the imperial capital, he is already a toothless tiger and will not be able to become a climate." He Zhiqiu concluded at the end.

After listening to He Zhiqiu's suggestion, Situ Mingyue did not open her mouth for a long time, and her eyes were closed, as if she was resting in peace.

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor did not respond, He Zhiqiu was a little anxious. He coughed gently, "Your Majesty."

"He Aiqing, are you a little ignorant of the methods you mentioned? At present, Li Wufeng has not shown any rebellious intentions. He is still a great hero in my empire. We just use his slightly outrageous actions to `````. Are we a little too hasty? Can we observe it slowly?" Situ Mingyue had some contradictions in her heart. From a rational point of view, he knew that what He Zhiqiu said was absolutely correct. This is an excellent way to prevent Li Wufeng from becoming a big shot. He confined him to the imperial capital, let the imperial capital live a luxurious and comfortable life to destroy his ambitions, and at the same time gradually disintegrate and weaken his control and influence over his subordinates. This is not impossible, but he used this method to deal with him just as soon as he made a great contribution to the empire. From an emotional point of view, he always felt a little disappointed.

"You must not delay, Your Majesty! Since Li Wufeng returns to the imperial capital this time, he must not let him go back to the northwest. He must keep him in the imperial capital. If Your Majesty feels that he is owed to him, he can take other ways to make up for it, but he must not let him go back to the northwest and Northern Luzon! Otherwise, if you let the tiger go back to the mountain, it will definitely be a big mistake. Lin Guoxiong is the best example." He Zhiqiu also knew that his tone was a bit strong, but he didn't care much at this time.

"Who will be responsible for the Northwest and Northern Luzon according to your opinion?" Situ Mingyue sighed and finally accepted He Zhiqiu's suggestion. As an emperor, he must not let his feelings influence rationality. He Zhiqiu's words are all golden and jade-like words. Even though it is a bit harsh, it is thought-provoking. He must be responsible for the empire and the entire royal family.

"Let Li Wufeng stay for the time being, and we will not take any changes for the time being to avoid excessive stimulation of Li Wufeng. Take one step at a time. Anyway, the situation in the northwest has stabilized, and the situation in Northern Luzon has not changed much. Luzon is currently concentrating on dealing with the threats from the south and west, and he cannot consider the coming from the north at all, otherwise they will not sign any agreement with Li Wufeng. As long as Li Wufeng cannot return to the northwest and Northern Luzon, he will have to do nothing forever." He Zhiqiu saw that His Majesty the Emperor finally agreed to his opinion after a fierce ideological struggle, he felt relieved and his tone became lighter.

"Well, I understand." Situ Mingyue suddenly felt exhausted.

"Your Majesty, I have no selfish thoughts when submitting the memorial this time. Everything is for the long-term future of the empire. Please give your Majesty a clear guide." He Zhiqiu also knew that his memorial this late night must have violated the holy intention, but he had a clear conscience and believed that Your Majesty could also understand his intentions.

"He Aiqing, I understand your feelings very well. You don't need to have any worries. In this huge court, I will be content with many pillar ministers like you who can share my worries." With a sigh, Situ Mingyue waved her hand and said.

"Your Majesty is so serious. All the ministers in the court are doing their best to serve Your Majesty and share their worries. I just think farther away." He Zhiqiu thanked quickly.

"Hmph, you don't need to say more. Although I am old, I understand very well." Situ Mingyue's lips slightly slanged.

"Then I will kneel down."

"Go and pay attention to your health." Situ Mingyue said leisurely.

"Thank you for your concern." He Zhiqiu bowed respectfully and left.

"Who is outside?" As soon as He Zhiqiu left, a figure appeared by the door.

"Your Majesty, I am the concubine. Seeing that Your Majesty hadn't come to have a midnight snack so late, I specially cooked a bowl of candy lotus ear soup. Please drink it while it's hot." The one who came in was a young woman in her thirty years old. She wore a dragon sculpture incense bun and showed that her identity was extraordinary. The faint pink makeup further highlighted the whiteness of her skin. She was wearing a Tang-style cheongsam, which even outlined her curved body to be concave and convex, and her soul-stirring eyes were waving, and coupled with the soft and soft words of a slippery man, it was enough to make any normal man crazy.

"Oh, how long have you been outside?" Situ Mingyue's sharp eyes fell on her pink face. The Empire clearly ordered that no one in the harem except the emperor was allowed to enter the imperial study room, and the eunuchs who served the marquis must not be over fifteen years old, and they cannot read. Usually, the imperial study room is strictly closed, and dozens of large inner guards are guarded by them.

"I just arrived, Your Majesty doesn't believe it, so you can ask them." The noble lady said in a sweet voice, and her eyes swept over the two little eunuchs following behind her.

When the two eunuchs saw Situ Mingyue’s eyes turn, their bodies trembled, and they hurriedly said, “Your Majesty, Concubine Sogna has indeed arrived.”

"Well, let it go, it's rare that you have a lot of heart." Situ Mingyue signaled the lady to put down the jade cup on her hand, "You go back to the palace first, I'll come over later."

Taking advantage of putting down the jade cup in his hand, he quickly glanced at the memorial that opened on the imperial desk, and then smiled charmingly, "I'll go back first." The lady turned around and left gracefully.

"Old Leng, why don't you let me write a letter to my father?" Situ Tai sat in his study in the mansion in a depressed mood. "Li Wufeng's power has expanded too quickly. If this continues, he will pose a great threat to us. We cannot watch this guy expand his power without doing anything."

"Your Highness, you are too anxious. Yes, from the momentum, Li Wufeng's power has indeed expanded very quickly, but his main power is concentrated in the northwest. In the imperial capital, he does not have any alliances. At most, he counts His Highness Six and His Highness Ninth. But Li Wufeng himself knows what the two of them are trying to do." Leng Qian explained calmly.

"This time, Li Wufeng used the benefits obtained from the expedition to Luzon to cater to His Majesty's thoughts. If anyone rashly opposed him at that time, he would only seek bad luck. But the situation would be different after he came down. I dare to assert that there must have been many secret documents from ministers who opposed Li Wufeng at this time. The first bird was shot out. Li Wufeng's actions would definitely arouse the jealousy and dissatisfaction of many people. Of course, there are many people who attack him, and we don't need to kick him again." Leng Qian continued to analyze with a smile.

"Your Highness, don't underestimate Your Majesty. Although he is not young, his ideas are beyond the reach of ordinary people. He is very clear about the situation in the empire. There are also the old guys in the court who are very terrified, and they all know very well about the severity of the interests. Your Majesty and they will not be unclear about what Li Wufeng did. What measures he should take against him are probably not the issue you need to care about." Leng Qian's mouth showed a mysterious smile.

"You mean, the father will "``````? But this morning he was promoted to Li Wufeng's title and allowed him to serve as the governor of the Northern Luzon region!" Situ Tai understood a little, but seemed a little confused.

"Hehe, this is the art of the emperor. Li Wufeng made great contributions. Of course, the award should be awarded and the promotion should be promoted. But as for the specific operation in the future, it depends on what Your Majesty thinks. However, I think it will be difficult for Li Wufeng to return to the northwest again." Leng Qian looked confident.

"Really? Mr. Leng, are you so sure?" Situ Tai was surprised and happy.

"Let's try to observe and see the changes in the future. However, Li Wufeng is not a good person, maybe he will do something strange trick." Leng Qian thought for a while and said hesitantly, "Maybe this guy will come to you, Your Highness, and we will make good plans. This guy is really capable. Even if he stays in the imperial capital, he will have a certain amount of control over the people under his original staff. At that time, it depends on whether it can be used by us."

"That would have become a good thing for us. If we can control the northwest army, it would be of great help to us. However, this will not be effective in a day or two." Situ Tai was still cautious.

"Well, I'm still thinking that Li Wufeng is not a fool. He should have thought about the storms he would encounter when he returned to the imperial capital this time. Could it be that there is no way to deal with it?" Leng Qian, who had already felt a little relaxed, fell into thinking again.

"But even if Li Wufeng knew that he would have trouble returning to the emperor this time, he would have to come back. Northwest cannot leave the support of the empire at all, so he could not find any excuses to get rid of it." Situ Tai was also thinking.
