"Brother Hualong, Li Zhe is probably in danger, why are you hesitating?" Shi Shouxin glared at Murong Yanzhao with dissatisfaction.

Although Murong Yanzhao is not one of the ten brothers in Yishe, he is also Zhao Kuangyin's sworn brother, and he has a very good relationship with Shi Shouxin. Therefore, Shi Shouxin's first target of persuasion was Murong Yanzhao.

"If there is no definite news, how can we take it seriously?" Murong Yanzhao said seriously.

If Li Zhongyi died in the battlefield of the Northern Expedition, and there was no adult young master in the Li family, and the situation where the young master was suspicious, Murong Yanzhao would probably be moved and re-sumed the wise master.

However, the road to the front line has been completely cut off. If Murong Yanzhao acts rashly, he may be retribution.

Shi Shouxin also knew what Murong Yanzhao was worried about. He encouraged his words and advised: "I don't need you to lead troops to the battlefield. You just need to block the road from the capital to the north."

Murong Yanzhao understood as soon as he heard this, Shi Shouxin's purpose was actually to ask him to send troops to block the road back to Beijing from the front line. If Li Zhongyi was defeated but did not die, he could use this to delay time.

"What about my benefits?" Murong Yanzhao knew Shi Shuxin's trustworthy character, and he was too lazy to talk about loyalty with him, so he simply talked about interests directly.

"After the matter is completed, you will be the new commander of the guards and the commander of the cavalry and infantry." Shi Shouxin's promised was indeed quite a big deal.

However, Murong Yanzhao knew in his heart that under the current situation, he had the most troops of the ten brothers in Yishe near the Gyeonggi.

According to the Zhou system, the commander of the cavalry and infantry of the guards' personal military commander, although he was extremely powerful, was only the second-ranked figure of the entire Emperor** side.

The number one soldier in the empire was actually the commander-in-chief of the Palace Front Office, the position Zhao Kuangyin once held.

However, after Li Zhongyi was in power, the Palace Front Office and the Guards' Personal Military Office became decorations, and the real military power was divided into the hands of the General Senate, Logistics Office, Punishment Office and the commander of each army.

In layman's terms, the Privy Council is the nominal highest military and political organ. The General Senate Department controls operations, mobilizes and trains, the Logistics Department is in charge of supplies and supplies, and the Duty and Punishment Department holds the power of promotion and downward transfer for officers.

"According to what you said, can't I lead troops into Beijing to serve the king?" Murong Yanzhao stared at Shi Shouxin with a smile.

Shi Shouxin never expected that Murong Yanzhao would say this, and he was choked and rolled his eyes.

Fortunately, Shi Shouxin is also a flexible and flexible person. He immediately smiled and said, "As long as you have the nerve to fight with Zhao Yuanlang, I have no objection and will definitely remain neutral."

Zhao Yuanlang, also known as Zhao Laoer, was Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin once saved Murong Yanzhao's life, and Murong Yanzhao was also a very loyal person, so he naturally could not compete with Zhao Kuangyin for the throne.

"Well, it's not a joke. If you can get the martial law order issued by the Privy Council, I will naturally cooperate with you." Murong Yanzhao was just joking and had no ambition to compete for the throne.

Shi Shouxin immediately smiled, rubbed his hands and said, "It's all his brothers, so I won't hide it from you. I'm sure I can get the official documents of the Privy Council."

Murong Yanzhao blinked and thought to himself that Shi Shouxin is really powerful. He can even open joints in Li Zhongyi's heart. Isn't this really amazing?

After the general policy was negotiated, the atmosphere on the scene became much lighter. Murong Yanzhao held a banquet and hosted Shi Shouxin in the General Administration of Military Affairs of Chanzhou.

After drinking, Shi Shouxin said goodbye overnight. After all, there were many eyes and ears in Kaifeng City. If he suddenly disappeared, he would probably arouse the suspicion of the police chief Li Yanqing.

Li Yanqing, the evil dog, has a very flexible nose. If there is a slight odor, he will suddenly make a harsh mouth and bite people!

None of the old powerful people in the capital hates Li Yanqing. But the problem is that Li Yanqing comes from the Hechi Township Army and belongs to the direct line of Li Zhongyi and the confidant. Without conclusive evidence of crime, it is almost impossible to defeat him.

What's even more hateful is that according to the information Shi Shouxin found, Li Yanqing was neither greedy nor lustful, and had almost no flaws to catch.

According to Shi Shouxin's understanding, since Li Yanqing has no flaws to be taken into account for extremely important positions like the Jingzheng Temple and Li Zhongyi has not grasped the handle, how could he dare to use him with confidence?

I can’t figure it out, Shi Shouxin has been unable to see through the mystery!

This is the concept of controlling subordinates, and there is a historic gap. Li Zhongyi's method of mastering the old subordinates mainly relies on fighting for feelings and checking and balanced power.

It is not that Li Yanqing's corruption handle fell into Li Zhongyi's hands, and Li Zhongyi dared to appoint him with confidence. Instead, Li Yanqing's loyal actions won Li Zhongyi's trust in him, and then he let go of him.

The so-called water is clear and there is no fish, and there is no disciple when it is clear. In Li Zhongyi's view, it mainly refers to the civil service system, rather than the intelligence system and military system.

To put it bluntly, if Li Zhongyi allowed senior military generals to seek self-disgrace and seek self-protection and acquiesce to embezzle and accept bribery prevail, will the army still be able to fight if this continues?

By the same token, the Jingzheng Temple holds the national security power, and its importance is beyond doubt. If it had been broken since Li Yanqing, the upper beam was not straight, so how could the lower beam not be crooked?

That night, after drinking, Shi Shouxin quietly returned from Chanzhou south. Just as the city gate opened the next morning, it was mixed with a large crowd and mixed into Kaifeng City.

Shortly after returning to the mansion, Li Zhonghao came. Shi Shouxin couldn't help but feel ecstatic. He was worried that he could not come to find Mr. Li, but in the end, Mr. Li actually came to the door on his own initiative.

"Second Young Master, I haven't seen you some days, so I'm so weird." Shi Shouxin was not afraid of being sore, so he opened his mouth and flattered him.

Li Zhonghao sighed and shook his head and said, "I want to come out to play tricks too, but my father is sick, and that little concubine of Xue has never allowed me to leave the house for a while. I feel so angry when I think about it."

Shi Shouxin's eyes flashed slightly. He knew the news that Li Da and his serious illness were serious, but why did Mrs. Xue detain Li Zhonghao?

"Hurry up and serve the wine and the food. I'm already so tired." Li Zhonghao sighed and complained, "I'm just out of the name of going to the Imperial College. I've just come out. It's not easy for two hours, so I have to go back to eat."

Shi Shouxin quickly accompanied him to smile and welcomed Li Zhonghao into the banquet hall. While he ordered his servants to serve wine and food, he secretly ordered his confidant to inform Zhao Kuangyi and asked him to come over later.

In the family of Old Li, although Li Zhonghao, the second son, had long been marginalized, it was difficult to guard against the family thief. When he was drunk, he finally revealed a crucial news: the urgent rewards in front of him, Li Zhongyi was defeated by the Khitans. His life and death are still uncertain, and the women in the family are crying.
