Chapter 186: Beijing-China Situation
Murong Jie listened to her words, thought for a while, and slowly frowned, "I don't know if it's right or wrong to teach you this way, the struggle in the mansion is not as good as that in the court, but I think it should be the same. If you are not careful, you will be killed. You made a slight mistake and lost your life. This king made a slight mistake and lost the country of the Zhou Dynasty. That's why this king is so careful and careful. Now I will tell you the truth , the current situation in the court is very tense, every vortex, conspiracy and even assassination will come to this king, so if you don't have the ability to protect yourself or your heart is too soft, this king must be distracted to worry about you .”
It was the first time Zian heard him talk about political affairs in such a serious manner, he had never said these words before.
She asked softly, "I see."
Seeing that his face had calmed down, she tentatively asked: "What is the emperor's illness? How is the situation now?"
Murong Jie shook his head, "Even this king doesn't know that since he was seriously ill, the queen mother has been arranging the treatment, and a team of imperial doctors has been set up to take care of the emperor's brother's condition. Order, don't come out."
"That is to say, you haven't seen the emperor since he became seriously ill?" Zian couldn't help being surprised.
"I have seen that when he made the decree to make the king the regent, he personally handed down the king to go in and explain the matter, and ordered Mr. Bao to draw up the decree. Can't find anything."
"So mysterious?" Zian really didn't understand, what kind of disease is it that is so mysterious?
There was a slight scar on Murong Jie's face, "This king guesses that the emperor's brother has passed away, and the queen mother is afraid of affecting the stability of Dazhou, so she has always declared that the emperor's brother is still under treatment."
This is not impossible. Zi'an recalled that when Murong Jie asked her to treat the emperor, the empress dowager objected and opposed it very simply, there was no room for negotiation.
Murong Jie looked at her, "If you are smart enough, you should know that this king will guess like this, and other people will also guess like this. Once they all guess that the emperor is dead, then who will sit on the throne?"
Zian nodded, his face was a little pale, "I understand, your current situation is actually worse than mine, and you are suffering from enemies."
"They have attacked the king frequently. The Taifu's intention is to support the prince to the throne. The prince is incompetent and self-righteous. It will be easy for Liang Taifu to control the government. Such a powerful minister has great power. He wants to take it away. The world of my Murong family is as easy as pie."
Although Zian had thought about this before, she hadn't thought about it in such a deep way, because her own situation was also very bad.
When he was in such a bad situation, he still had to distract himself from worrying about her, and she suddenly felt guilty and... moved.
She has always been selfish, thinking only for herself, even if she gets close to him, it is to make herself have a solid backer.
But what is he planning for himself?
A woman with a notorious reputation for infertility and not much to expect.
"By the way, what are you looking for in the Prime Minister's Mansion today?" Zi'an suddenly remembered this matter.
Murong Jie said: "I searched the entire capital, but I couldn't find the biting lunatic, so I wonder if Xia Huaijun hid him in the prime minister's mansion."
Zian thought it was impossible, "How dangerous would it be to hide in the Prime Minister's Mansion? Isn't he afraid that the lunatic will bite the man in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"Actually, I know it's very vague, so I just came here to take a look. Moreover, Ximen Xiaoyue made so many requests before entering the door. You are stubborn and can't bear the slightest grievance. You will definitely offend them."
In other words, his old man came here just for her today.
Why are there so many moving things today? She was on the verge of thinking it was a very good life.
"Is the lunatic so important?" Zian didn't mean that he thought that the lunatic bit someone and then died, and the life was not important, but that the regent of his dynasty actually investigated the matter himself, which is a bit of a big deal, right?
Murong Jie looked at her with a very serious expression, "Last night, there was a biting incident in the southern army, and three soldiers were bitten."
"What?" Zi'an was taken aback, "Got to the barracks?"
"The Southern Army is an elite garrison in the capital, commanded by this king, if something like this happened in the Southern Army, we have to be deeply suspicious." Murong Jie said.
Zian didn't expect the situation to be so serious and the army would be involved.
If the entire southern army has become a "zombie" that bites people, is it still capable of combat? If the Southern Army commanded by the King Regent does not have the combat capability, then there will not be many people he can mobilize in the capital. At that time, not to mention that King Nanhuai will send troops into the capital, Taifu Guangliang will be able to mobilize more troops than him. Forced to palace.
"The troops stationed in various places, who owns the military power now?" Zi'an asked.
When Murong Jie heard her ask this question, he couldn't help admiring him, "You know how to ask this, which proves that you are really not a simple boudoir girl, let me tell you this, now the military power of the Great Zhou is divided into three, and part of it belongs to the emperor. In the hands of this king, some of them are in the hands of the king, and the other part is in the hands of the vassals of various places. However, the military power in the hands of the king, except for the southern army stationed in Beijing, the rest are scattered in various provinces or border garrisons. To be precise, The only people that this king can mobilize at present are the Southern Army and the Forbidden Army in central Beijing, about 50,000 people."
"Then, how many of the troops stationed in Beijing belong to Mr. Liang?" Zian asked again.
"If there is a transfer order from the Ministry of War, he can transfer people from the Northern Army and the Infantry Battalion. The number is about 30,000. If there is no transfer order from the Ministry of War, he can only transfer his old department, which is about 9,000 people. This is a violation, but he has this The appeal, once he wants to force the palace, these nine thousand people will definitely be used by him."
Zian understood that Master Liang wanted to weaken Murong Jie's troops first. Once the Southern Army was wiped out, Murong Jie would only be left with the Forbidden Army. There is no way to fight it.
Murong Jie saw that the topic was becoming more and more serious, so he stood up and said: "Forget it, let's not talk about this matter, we should go and see the bride, I don't know if she was burned to death."
Zi'an smiled and said: "I also left a way for them to survive. They can't be burned to death, but I don't know if the beautiful face has been hurt?"
As the two walked out, Murong Jie suddenly grabbed her arm, "By the way, I haven't seen what you said to show me just now."
Zi'an rolled his eyes at him, "Don't you feel disgusted and unexpected?"
"It's true that I didn't expect it, but I can't blame you. It's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice. You just want to pretend to be smart, but I'm not blind."
"Sooner or later, you will be poisoned blind, and then you will be dumb." Zian opened the door and said a word harshly.
Murong Jie went out slowly, "I have Dr. Xia, I'm afraid you will be poisoned?"
After the two left, Su Qing and Xiao Tuo jumped down from the roof. Xiao Tuo looked at Murong Jie's slow back and couldn't accept it. He said with a look of astonishment: "That's all? Don't you even give me a beating? The prince is too easy to bully, right?"
"Yes, I am very disappointed in the prince!" Su Qing said solemnly.
