Fu Yi, the former governor of Zhongshan Road, was the only one among the people who could communicate smoothly with the Winter Solstice Killer; It is precisely because of this that Shen Gui ordered twenty-three, seventeen, and fourteen or thirteen Winter Solstice killers to stay by his side to help. Because Fu Yi took over Zhongshan Road, it was a matter of course for the son to inherit his father's business; If you add the approval of the Guo family and Shen Gui, at least on the bright side, there is no danger at all, and there is no need for the help of the three deaf killers at all; However, in fact, Fu Yi's personal safety is far more dangerous than that of Emperor Xingping, who has an unstable foothold!

Because the internal friction of Youbei Sanlu was very heavy at that time, Emperor Xingping had just ascended the throne, and Li Zilin and his people couldn't figure out the context; Therefore, Fu Yi, who is sitting on Zhongshan Road, is actually a Dinghai God Needle nailed by Shen Gui for the newly reborn Beiyan Dynasty before he left the customs and went south.

Zhongshan Road, located in the central hinterland of Youbei Third Road; And Fu Yiqi is Shen Gui, or the hardcore confidant of the Guo family. On the one hand, he could prevent Yan Qinghong from rushing to unload the mill and kill the donkey after he ascended the throne, and when he was still unstable, he was eager to liquidate the Dongyou Li family, which had suppressed the Yan family's imperial power for nearly a hundred years; On the other hand, it is used to guard against the fact that the East Hidden Road under the rule of Li Zilin will suddenly change sideways! Once the situation changes, Zhongshan Road can instantly change from a buffer area to a frontline for quelling chaos in the north.

Fortunately, Shen Gui and Li Deng, the two sons-in-law, have a good eye for people and things. After the second prince Yan Qinghong ascended the throne, instead of carrying out a comprehensive purge, he retained the original framework of nearly eighty percent of the imperial court and maintained the stable situation in the transition period of Youbei.

After ascending the throne, the new monarch of Youbei, who had been suppressed and persecuted for many years, put all his energy on how to earn more silver!

It can also be said that Shen Gui only put forward an initial conceptual framework for the current East Customs, which is making money every day; The person who is really responsible for the specific implementation is Yan Qinghong, the Emperor of Xingping, and Wan Changning, the lame prime minister who lives in the Dongnuan Pavilion all the year round.

And Li Zilin, as the new king of Dongyou and the head of the Li family, has always intended to avoid too much involvement in the affairs of the court. Therefore, even if Emperor Xingping repeatedly summoned him to the Dongnuan Pavilion to discuss politics, as long as he was not asked about his head, or matters that had nothing to do with Dongyoulu, he always adhered to an ambiguous attitude.

This is not only the self-examination and self-sufficiency of entering the dynasty as an official, but also the way of survival that Li Zilin has passively practiced as the prefect of the Great Wilderness City for many years. He knows better than anyone that the reason why the current Emperor Xingping is willing to keep the hidden danger of Dongyou Road is completely because he is afraid of Li Deng and Li Qiyuan, who have been guarding a lonely tomb since he retired; It is also the living space that Shen Gui exchanged for the Li family through self-exile. Under such circumstances, whether it is honor or wealth, there will be no less than a penny of his Dongyou Li family; But once he wants to put his hands and feet into the Dongnuan Pavilion, even if it is just a thought, it will definitely bring disaster to the entire Li family!

However, the issues in today's Dongnuan Pavilion obviously did not leave him a chance to keep his mouth shut.

"Zilin, just say it bluntly, if there is no Dongyou Road where you are personally in charge, once the situation changes, how long can you carry it with the Li family's family background?"

Yan Qinghong was wearing casual clothes at this time, but the three buckles on the neckline were nowhere to be found. From the pale red strangulation marks on his neck, it could be seen that Emperor Xingping was in a violent mood.

Before Li Zilin could reply, Wan Changning, who was lying on the desk, suddenly spoke first:

"Never! Zilin must not be transferred out of Dongyou and let him make up for Xiaoyi's shortcomings! You see, although the terrain of this eastern secluded road is flat, it seems that it is easy for cavalry to rush and charge; But it still has a mixed river that can be used as a barrier! If Zilin is in charge of Dongyou Road, he will be able to command his soldiers and go down to the village along the river bank at any time, relying on the mixed river bank as a basis to resist the rebellion of the Mobei invasion of the border! In this way, although Zhongshan Road may quickly fall into the hands of the rebels, at least the two roads of Dongyou and Guanbei can also form a north-south attack, closing the door and beating the dog! ”

After Emperor Xingping heard this, he knocked over the hot tea that Empress Tie Lian'er had just warmed, and pointed at Wan Changning, who was singing against him, and angrily reprimanded:

"Bastard! You're talking about lightness! Mixing with the upper reaches of the river, it is indeed a natural barrier of Dongyou Road, but if the chaotic army does not choose to enter Dongyou in the north after attacking Zhongshan Road, but goes south along the river, goes straight to Guanbei, and besieges Fengjing, how should you and I deal with it at that time? Are you Wan Changning still planning to close the door and beat the dog? Once Fengjing and Zhongshan fall, then Dongyou Road will really be closed and beaten! ”

After Yan Qinghong lost his temper, the entire Dongnuan Pavilion fell into an awkward silence again; The only sound in my ears was the sound of Queen Tie Li'er cleaning the fragments of the teapot; The other three all hung their heads, not knowing what they were thinking.

Although it is not clear whether the dispute between the emperor and the prime minister is a drama for himself; But Li Zilin clearly knew in his heart: If he kept silent at this time, he would be suspected of watching the fire from across the strait and supporting the army for self-respect.

"Ahem, Your Majesty, the minister has something to say."

"Speak!"

Yan Qinghong, who was still angry, threw out a word angrily, and continued to look at Wan Cheng, who refused to back down half a step.

"The minister thinks that everything is in consideration, and His Majesty's words are the words of the Holy Monarch. However, what His Majesty thinks is different from the two of them......"

"Excuse yourself from all this nonsense, tell me what you think!"

"Yes. The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first, since ancient times, the battle between soldiers, the victory or defeat depends on the safety of the grain road. Therefore, Wanxiang advocates the temporary retreat of Zhongshan Road in exchange for the thoughtfulness of the East Secluded Road of the Youbei Granary, which is really the words of the old Cheng to seek the country; However, the move of the rebellious troops along the south that His Majesty was worried about would definitely happen according to His Majesty's inference. In addition, although an armistice agreement has been reached between the two norths, Yan Shuai's headquarters in Jincheng still cannot be reckless. Therefore, according to His Majesty's humble opinion, for the Guanbei Road, His Majesty can personally take command, send Anding Hou Yanping as the general under his command, and personally command the northern defense line of the Guanbei Road; and his subordinates should lead the 80,000 Qi Yuan troops on Dongyou Road, and go down the river according to the plan; As soon as the enemy's front team was frustrated and the horse's head was turned south, the subordinate immediately led his army to the south and waited for the opportunity to move; As for the vacancy of Fu Du on Zhongshan Road......"

The two gentlemen and ministers who were puffing up, when they heard Li Zilin finally talk about the meat part, even the panting voice was lowered a little:

"Although Fu Du has run away in a bad mood, the old foundation of the Zhongshan Governor's Mansion Army is still there after all; Tactically speaking, the strategic location of Zhongshan Road is excellent, and it is a pity to abandon it; From the perspective of being a monarch, His Majesty should not easily give up the people of Zhongshan Road...... Therefore, the minister is now recommending two people who can temporarily replace the lack of generals on Zhongshan Road. Gu Hui, the prefect of Jincheng, Gu Ziyu, is three out of fifty this year, and he is a capable official who is full of economy and is familiar with military affairs; Even Yan Shuai of the Flying Bear Army would praise him whenever he mentioned the name of Gu Governor's Mansion. Therefore, His Majesty recommended this person to be in command, and His Majesty could transfer this person to Zhongshan Road and order him to lead the Zhongshan Governor's Army to resist the Mobei invasion of the border and the rebellion!

At the beginning of Yan Qinghong's ascension to the throne, it was the time of employing people; Therefore, he also carefully checked the archives and resumes of officials of the Youbei Imperial Court. Naturally, he is not unfamiliar with the Gu Hui Gu recommended by Li Zilin. He clearly remembered that the comments of the imperial court archives on this Lord Gu were "old-fashioned, mediocre talents, acceptable and unusable". is such an ordinary rotten Confucian, but he was cited by Li Zilin, who has always cherished words like gold!

Could it be that he remembered that Gu Hui had old friends with Yan Chongwu and Shen Gui, and planned to borrow flowers to offer Buddha?

Thinking of this, Yan Qinghong thought that Li Zilin had signs of forming a party for personal gain, and immediately became dissatisfied. However, with his patience and acting skills that he has practiced for many years of obscurity and clumsiness, he did not even show the slightest displeasure; Instead, he naturally looked back at Wan Changning, wanting to hint at him with his eyes, find a few excuses at random, and veto Li Zilin's recommendation......

But Yan Qinghong turned around this time, but found that after Wan Changning heard it, he also fell into deep thought! Could it be that this Gu Governor, who is extremely mediocre in the archives, is enough to take on the heavy responsibility?

Wan Changning felt Yan Qinghong's gaze and immediately came back to his senses; But he didn't mention Gu Hui's matter, but continued to ask:

"Well, since Zilin plans to recommend Master Gu to be in charge, what about the general?"

"Supervisor of the military rations of the C-word battalion of the Jinjia Army on Guanbei Road, Ding Shuo."

After listening to Li Zilin's favorite candidate for the main general, everyone in the room, including the queen Tie Li'er, burst into laughter, and even Li Zilin, the governor of Dongyoulu, who had always been serious and silent, was also infected by the joyful atmosphere and laughed with the other three......

"Hahaha... Zilin, Zilin, you let a grain officer lead the army to resist the iron cavalry of the Mobei grassland? Could it be this ...... Oh yes, this Ding Shuo, what personal enmity is there between the two of you? ”

"Hehe, I am separated from him from the north and south, how can I have any personal enmity to settle? Your Majesty, Prime Minister, and Your Majesty recommend this person, and he is by no means one of those mediocre and incompetent; Besides, just now we and other monarchs and ministers planned to abandon Zhongshan Road, and made a plan to lure the enemy into the depths, close the door and beat the dogs; Even if Lord Gu and Ding ...... Supervisor Ding is really difficult to take on the important task, so he can also use the incompetence of the two of them to dispel the vigilance of the Mobei rebels? ”

Yan Qinghong smiled while looking down at the map of Youbei; And Wan Changning also turned his wooden wheelchair with a smile at this time, and said to Yan Qinghong with a smile:

"Your Majesty, I think Governor Li's strategy may be a try."

Hearing that Wan Changning, who had always been cautious, also echoed his words, Yan Qinghong pondered for a while, and then nodded in agreement:

"Hmm...... That Zilin will leave Fengjing today and return to Dongyou Road to reorganize his armaments; As for the matter of Zhongshan Road, I have already made up my mind. ”

Hearing that Yan Qinghong called himself me, Li Zilin immediately knelt down and kowtowed, and left Dongnuan Pavilion backwards.
