Chapter 284 The Change of Owners of Xixia 1 "Is this true?" Li An'an was overjoyed when he heard Dai Licheng mention that Bi Zaiyu had already submitted his resignation to the Privy Council. "Yes, Mr. Li should have received his resignation and it will be sent to the palace soon." Dai Licheng smiled slightly. In fact, Bi Zaiyu had already received the news before Bi Zaiyu's resignation was handed over. Now he can tell Li An'an in advance, so that he can send it to the palace. He showed that he was still very effective at his job. "Okay, you did a good job." Li An was elated. Bi Zaiyu controlled 100,000 garrison troops in the capital. Now that he proposed to leave, it was really pleasing to the people. "Serving the Holy One is what a villain should do." Dai Licheng said respectfully. "Licheng, why do you think Bi Zaiyu suddenly resigned?" After the ecstasy in Li An'an's heart, doubts arose again. The reason why Bi Zaiyu resigned was obviously inseparable from the Xia King Han Zhongwei. Now Han Zhongwei allied with Mongolia in the north and controlled The seven states in the north of Daxia are extremely powerful. Li An'an sometimes breaks into a cold sweat in the middle of the night when he thinks about what he will do next. Now that he is already the King of Xia, the next step will probably be to take another step forward. He is already the most powerful prince among men. What is the next step? Li Ping'an shudders every time he thinks of this. "Well, it seems that Han Zhongwei has become too famous recently, and he is afraid that the Holy One will be jealous of him. I heard the news that not only Bi Zaiyu will resign, but Li Wei, the commander of the Emperor's Guards, will soon submit a letter to the Holy One in person like Bi Zaiyu Resignation." Dai Litai said very firmly. This was already decided by Han Zhongwei. Fan Shan had clearly told him that this matter would happen soon. It would be really hard to sell it to Li An'an now. The most appropriate. "Really?" Li An'an beamed with joy. If he was just overjoyed by Bi Zaiyu's resignation, then coupled with Li Wei's resignation, Li An'an would probably laugh out loud even in his sleep at night. "The villain's news is absolutely reliable." Dai Licheng said firmly. "Okay, okay, okay" Li An'an's heart was surging. As long as Li Wei and Bi meet again, the Zhongxing Mansion will be in my hands. Even if Han Zhongwei makes any changes in the future, he can mobilize the army to suppress it at any time. "Congratulations, Your Majesty." Dai Licheng also beamed, "sincerely" happy for Li An'an. "Licheng, do you know why Han Zhongwei suddenly did such a thing to ask for trouble?" Li Ping'an asked uneasily after getting excited. With Han Zhongwei's character, would he do such a thing for no reason? You must know that Bi Zaiyu and Li Wei almost control the Zhongxing Mansion. Except for the imperial palace, which they have no direct control over, all the princes and ministers in the capital are under their control. Han Zhongwei can kill them with just one word, which is worse than issuing an imperial edict himself. Much more effective. "I have heard some rumors, but there is no final confirmation yet." Dai Licheng said cautiously. "It doesn't matter, I won't blame you." Li An'an glanced at him and said softly, thinking that something earth-shattering must have happened to Han Zhongwei, otherwise he would not have transferred these two heavyweights back. "I heard that the Kingdom of Jin signed a trusteeship agreement with the King of Xia. The Kingdom of Jin will hand over all the land of seven prefectures: Lintao Prefecture, Fengxiang Prefecture, Pingliang Prefecture, Qingyang Prefecture, Yan'an Prefecture, Jingtao Prefecture, and Hezhong Prefecture. During Han Zhongwei's trusteeship, officials and troops were appointed by Han Zhongwei for a period of fifteen years. During the period of Han Zhongwei's trusteeship, the tax revenue of these seven states would be doubled to the Jin court. "Dai Licheng heard some rumors here. It was like reading the trusteeship agreement signed by Han Zhongwei and Jin Guo. "Lintao Prefecture, Fengxiang Prefecture, Pingliang Prefecture, Qingyang Prefecture, Yan'an Prefecture, Jingtao Prefecture, Hezhong Prefecture? What is the Jin Kingdom doing? Are you crazy? Such a large land is enough for Han Zhongwei. No wonder he wants to Bi Zaiyu and Li Wei were transferred back, so that's what happened." Li An'an was shocked and angry. He was surprised that Han Zhongwei was able to get another large piece of land. What he was angry about was that Han Zhongwei actually signed an agreement with the Kingdom of Jin in private. He said this summer. The king is the prince of Daxia, does he still see himself as the emperor in his eyes? "With this large piece of land in the hands of Han Zhongwei, he will be more at ease in the future. Whether it is our Daxia or the Kingdom of Jin, he will not take it seriously." The reason why Dai Licheng told Li An'an such news was for the same purpose. Wan Yanxun, who was coming soon, had the same goal. He wanted to anger Li Ping'an. It was best to send troops to Han Zhongwei so that Han Zhongwei could legitimately fight. "He dares," Li An'an roared angrily. If Bi Zaiyu and Li Wei were still in Zhongxing Mansion, and there were the two vicious dogs of Han Zhongwei, the Capital Garrison and the Emperor's Guard, around him, Li An'an would really have no choice but to swallow his anger. But now that Bi Zaiyu and Li Wei are leaving, he will truly control Daxia's army. With the hundreds of thousands of troops in Han Zhongwei's hands, what kind of disturbance can he cause? What's more, most of his troops are from me.As long as the people of the country raise their arms and call for help, Han Zhongwei's army will still obediently submit to the imperial court? "Your Majesty, if you look at the map, if Han Zhongwei really gets the seven rich state capitals of the Jin Kingdom, I am afraid that Daxia will be surrounded by him." Dai Licheng ignored Li An'an's deformed state. With his face lowered and his head lowered, he expressed his concerns. "Licheng, you did a good job, please go down first." Li An'an waved his hand, and the ecstasy just now was immediately extinguished by Dai Licheng's words. Li Anping was sitting alone in the study. The situation in Daxia was relatively stable, but Han Zhongwei was definitely a variable. Now that he has obtained the seven state capitals of Jin Kingdom at once, what is he going to do? ItĄŻs true that the Kingdom of Jin is such a dignified country, how could it do such a stupid thing. Land is the foundation of a country, how can it be entrusted to others casually? Especially for a person like Han Zhongwei, if those things were put into his mouth, is it possible to get them back? Li AnĄŻan asked someone to bring a map of the world, and he quickly found the seven prefectures on the map: Lintao Prefecture, Fengxiang Prefecture, Pingliang Prefecture, Qingyang Prefecture, YanĄŻan Prefecture, Jingtao Prefecture, and Hezhong Prefecture. These seven state capitals are all big cities, especially the location of these seven state capitals, which happens to be on the border with Jin, Xia and Song Dynasty. Recalling that Han Zhongwei was from the Song Dynasty, these places are now connected to the Song Dynasty. What if Han Zhongwei and the Song Dynasty are connected as one? Li Ping'an was suddenly shocked. This was a big bad thing. For two consecutive days, Li An'an didn't see any ministers, but there were two people he had to meet. One was Privy Councilor Li Zhiguo, who had already received Bi Zaiyu's resignation, and the other was thought to be Li Wei, the commander of the emperor's guard. No matter how upset Li An'an was, these two people needed to be seen immediately. Although Li Anping tried his best to persuade him to stay, even a blind man could see that he wished he could take back the emperor's guards and the capital's garrison immediately. Especially since Bi Zaiyu didn't come, Li Zhiguo only brought his resignation, and Li An'an snatched the resignation from Li Zhiguo's hand, which showed how urgent he was. Now that both Li Wei and Bi Zaiyu have submitted their resignations, and they both want to return to Han Zhongwei, Li An'an will certainly not refuse to agree. It is not easy to arrange for such people to stay in the capital. Let them join the Capture Army or other armies. Li Ping'an is not at ease. The best way is of course to let them return to Han Zhongwei. At this time, Li An'an was not too defensive about Bi Zaiyu and Li Wei. After all, they were also taking orders from Han Zhongwei. If he had known that most of his foundation was destroyed in the hands of these two people, I am afraid that he would never let them step out of Zhongxing Mansion now. Li Zhiguo is the privy envoy, and now two important positions in the capital are suddenly vacant. It is natural for him to recommend candidates to Li An'an. But he didn't expect that no matter what kind of person he recommended this time, Li An'an would always be non-committal, which made Li Zhiguo extremely depressed. I thought to myself, does the emperor no longer trust me? Or is he unable to trust the person he recommended? Ą°Actually, itĄŻs not that Li AnĄŻan doesnĄŻt trust Li Zhiguo, nor does it mean that Li AnĄŻan doesnĄŻt believe those people he recommended, but that now Li AnĄŻan doesnĄŻt trust anyone. Even if Li Zhiguo demoted himself and was recommended as the commander of the capital's garrison or the emperor's guard, Li An'an would not nod. We must be extremely cautious in controlling the capital's troops, and we must not make the same mistakes again. Now Li Wei and Bi Zaiyu only obey Han Zhongwei's orders. What if the newly elected commander instead obeys the orders of a certain minister of the imperial court? Do you want to give up the throne like Li Chunyou? Therefore, Li An'an could not make an immediate decision on the leadership of the capital garrison and the emperor's guard. Even if he had already made a decision in his mind, he would have to investigate and investigate first to confirm that he was 100% loyal to himself and the imperial court. Leave these two most important positions to others with confidence. Li An'an once again summoned Dai Licheng. Since Dai Licheng became the leader of the six squads in the imperial siege, Li An'an felt that many things were much easier to worry about. Dai Licheng is not only extremely loyal to himself, but most importantly, he is talented. Especially when it comes to gathering information, he is simply a genius. Especially regarding Han Zhongwei's situation, Li Ping'an was really satisfied. Now it was time to decide on the candidates for the emperor's guard and the capital's garrison. Li An'an wanted to listen to his suggestions first and give him time to get to know the background of those people. "Your Majesty, I feel that those recommended by Mr. Li are not enough to guarantee 120,000 loyalty to the imperial court. Whether it is the emperor's guard or the capital garrison, talent and bravery are not particularly important. Loyalty is the first priority. ." Dai Lichen said sincerely. "According to your opinion, none of the people recommended by Privy Councilor Li are suitable?" Li An'an asked. "According to the villain's investigation, many of the people recommended by Mr. Li are his former subordinates. I can't be sure whether they are loyal to the Holy One, but they are definitely respectful to Mr. Li." Dai Licheng bowed slightly., said. "Humph, this is Li Zhiguo." Sure enough, Li An'an said angrily when he heard this. "Your Majesty, calm down." Dai Licheng laughed secretly. It seemed that it would be easy to just gain Li Ping'an's absolute trust and manipulate him with applause. "Dai Licheng, do you have anyone to recommend?" Li An'an asked again. "This is a major military matter. I don't dare to say anything casually." Dai Licheng was "panicked" and quickly knelt down in front of Li An'an and said respectfully. But his heart was filled with laughter. He rejected all the people recommended by Li Zhiguo. Of course, Li An'an would ask about him. "Get up. I will pardon you. Just speak boldly." Li An'an was very satisfied with Dai Licheng's performance. As a minister, you must always pay attention to your position. People like Li Zhiguo know how to place their trusted subordinates. , unlike Dai Licheng, who is loyal and honest and can be of great use. "Yes." Dai Licheng slowly stood up and said slowly: "The capital garrison must be led by people who are completely trusted by the Holy One. I think there is no one more suitable than General Li Shizhen. As for the emperor's guard, the Holy One feels that the former guard of the Royal Palace of Yue Meng "How about Qing?" "Li Shizhen is now the deputy commander of the Capture Army. The Capture Army also needs a capable person, so let's choose another person. As for Meng Qing leave the Emperor's Guard to him. " Li Ping'an mused. Meng Qing's biggest advantage is that he came from the Yue Palace and has a good relationship with Dai Licheng. He has been working under Dai Licheng and is also his right-hand man. He should be able to take over the emperor's guard. Relieved. "I will thank you for your grace on behalf of Meng Qing." Dai Licheng was very excited. Meng Qing was not only his right-hand man, but he was also on the same boat. As for the boat, of course, there was a big Korean engraved on it. Character. "Although Li Wei and Bi Zaiyu are gone, what should they do with their former confidants?" Li An'an asked again. "This time, we will basically go with them to the Black City. The few who occasionally stay behind obviously still have their hearts for the emperor." Dai Licheng said quickly. In fact, Li Wei and Bi Zaiyu were just showing up as their confidants. Take away and keep all those people you secretly cultivated. It can be said that even if the emperor's guard and the capital garrison change commanders, as long as Han Zhongwei gives an order, the two armies will be in chaos without a fight. What's more, now that Meng Qing has become Han Zhongwei's, the emperor's guard is still under the control of Han Zhongwei. . "Okay, you can choose more guards from the original palace to come in. They will be with me through thick and thin, and they are all trustworthy." Li An'an warned again. "Thank you, Your Majesty." Dai Licheng was even more overjoyed. The palace guards have always been commanded by him. Even Meng Qing became a member of his boat, not to mention the others. Most of them even moved their families out. Zhongxing Mansion became naked guards. Once Han Zhongwei needs them, they can rise up immediately. With Li Quanquan's decree, Dai Licheng can now legitimately send the guards of the Yue Prince's Palace to the Emperor's Guards and the Capital Garrison. Although they cannot hold too important positions for the time being, there is still no problem in serving as middle and low-level generals. . Generals of this level have the most contact with soldiers, and soldiers are the most convinced of such generals. As long as they give an order, not to mention the order of the commander-in-chief, even if they are allowed to attack the palace, it will probably not be a problem. "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to report. Wanyan Xun, the eldest brother of the Emperor of Jin, is already on his way to the capital and will arrive soon," Dai Licheng said. "Wanyan Xun? What is he here for? Why didn't the Kingdom of Jin send an envoy in advance?" Li An'an asked in surprise. "Wan Yanxun came here in secret. It was he who signed the trusteeship agreement with Han Zhongwei on behalf of the Emperor of Jin in the Black City." Dai Licheng added quickly. "Oh, what is he here for?" Li An'an had met Wanyan Xun when he was in Black City. At that time, Li had a dispute with Wanyan Xun over buying grenades for the Capture Army. Later, Wanyan Xun focused on On top of the cement, the Qisheng Army now has tens of thousands of grenades. "I'm afraid it's about Han Zhongwei's matter." Dai Licheng smiled mysteriously. He now felt that the world was in his hands. As long as he contacted Fan Shan every day, intelligence would continue to arrive. Not only was this intelligence accurate, but the most important thing was It would be better for Li Ping'an to trust himself more and receive the large amount of intelligence fees every month as a matter of course. "What news have you heard?" Li An'an asked. Now he has regarded Dai Licheng as his eyes and ears. Every time Dai Licheng's news is not only timely but also accurate, it makes him feel that the money he spends every month is really a good deal. If he knew that Dai Licheng's information was intentionally passed on to him by Han Zhongwei through Fan Shan, I wonder if Li An'an would be so angry that he vomited blood immediately. "The villain doesn't know yet, but the villain boldly speculates that WanyanThe purpose of coming here must be for the seven state capitals entrusted to Han Zhongwei. That is a large area of ??land. No matter how generous the Emperor of Jin is, I am afraid he will not give away his land to outsiders in vain, right? There must be an internal reason for this that is not obvious to outsiders. " Dai Licheng said. "Of course, among the seven state capitals, Wanyan Jing's handiwork is even greater than mine. Li Guangan sighed. Two days later, Wanyan Xun secretly arrived at Zhongxing Mansion. Since Dai Licheng had received the news in advance, he greeted Wanyan Xun ten miles outside the city and met Wanyan Xun, the special envoy sent by the Emperor of Xixia. I was secretly shocked that this Li An'an was not doing anything. He actually knew his whereabouts. This alone should not be underestimated. Li An'an's conversation with Wanyan Xun was in compliance with Wanyan Xun's request. There was no one within ten feet. Anyone, and they were in a secret room, so the conversation between them was completely unknown to outsiders, except of course Dai Litai, who was the direct commander of the Sixth Squadron within the Imperial Palace responsible for the security of the palace. He installed copper pipes, and even from a distance of ten feet, the sound inside could be clearly transmitted to his ears. Not even an hour after Li An'an and Wanyan Xun finished talking, there were two somewhere in Zhongxing Mansion. The homing pigeons flew out. If anyone could chase them outside the city and see the direction in which they were flying, they would definitely know that these two pigeons should be flying to the north, and the north has now become Han Zhongwei's territory Collected from ( ).
