Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Chapter 60 To be published
The blue veins on Situ Jun's forehead burst out, and he pressed the desk tightly with both hands. Even the heavy oak desk seemed unable to bear the pressure on it, and it shattered into several pieces with a crash, and the door After being knocked away with a bang, several guards entered in a flash, with silver light flashing, and their sharp knives unsheathed, "Your Highness!"
"Get out!" Situ Jun scolded without looking back, his face livid.
"Yes, Your Highness!" There was nothing unusual about the shoulders, only the unlucky desk was scattered on the ground, several guards looked around, bowed respectfully and backed out.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry, this old man also thinks that the second possibility is more likely. Of course, His Majesty may also want to find a more suitable candidate through this expatriate training, but this possibility is too small." Qiu The old man's face was calm, as if he was talking about another matter that had nothing to do with him.
"You mean the old nine?!" Situ Jun's distorted face looked particularly ferocious, and his cold eyes spit out the light of choosing someone to devour like a snake letter.
"I'm afraid there are no other people besides His Highness Ninth? His Highness has been sent to Yanyun, His Highness Seven has arrived in the East China Sea, His Highness Six has stayed in the imperial capital to take charge of military affairs, but according to the old man's observation, it is just a As a foil, only His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince stayed in the imperial capital and was granted the power to wipe out the hidden forces of the Taiping Sect in the imperial capital." The old man surnamed Qiu analyzed slowly.
"Why does Mr. Qiu say that the sixth child is a foil? I think he has been very active in the past two years." Although Situ Jun was not optimistic about Situ Biao in his heart, he just had an intuition without any basis.
"Hey, in charge of military affairs, what kind of military affairs can be in charge of in the imperial capital, besides His Majesty himself, who can command the two major legions of city guards and imperial guards? What's more, how can Qiu's prestige and experience be replaced by His Highness the Sixth Highness?" What? An illusory person in charge of military affairs is just putting His Highness the Sixth Highness there, although he is tall in name, I am afraid that His Highness the Sixth Highness will have to suffer." Qiu Yuan shook his head, with a look of indifference on his thin face.
"What about Lao Jiu?" Situ Jun asked anxiously, this was what he was most concerned about.
"His Royal Highness is naturally different. Although it is nominally responsible for eliminating the remnants of the Taiping Sect, it is quite different in the imperial capital. The security forces in the imperial capital are divided into four parts. One is the most powerful military. As long as the two major legions support On the one hand, whoever ascends to the position of Great Treasure will be determined, and there will be no turning around. The attitude of the two legions is particularly important, but in fact, most of the officers and soldiers of the two legions come from the imperial capital, especially as a link between the past and the future. The mid-level officers, whose families and relatives are all in the imperial capital, no matter who ascends to the position of Great Treasure, it does not have much impact on their interests, and your highness including us all have influence in these two legions, They constrain each other, so they are actually the most stable force, that is, they will support whoever is strong and in power."
"The second part is the imperial guards of the Imperial Habayashi Army and His Majesty. Most of the members of the Habayashi Army are the children of the imperial aristocrats, and the middle and senior officers are usually the children of the royal clan or people related to the royal blood. Although in recent years There are a lot of folk children entering, but it can't change the overall situation. The current commander of the Habayashi Army is His Highness's Fifth Uncle Antai Company Tu Mingtong. It doesn't matter to him who ascends to the position, and it is estimated that there will be no change in his position. His Majesty's personal security force in the imperial guard room belongs directly to His Majesty, and it is not considered a security force, so it can be ignored."
"The Imperial Gendarmerie can barely be regarded as the third part. However, although this part of personnel is nominally affiliated to the Imperial Legal Department, since most of its personnel come from the Imperial Military, and the number of them is not too large, it has great influence on the political situation. Changes are unlikely to have much impact.”
"The fourth part, which is the most important force, is the force under the control of the Imperial Capital Police Department. In addition to the thousands of police officers under the jurisdiction of the eight police stations, what is more important is that they have close ties with them or can It is said that they can control and dominate the civil forces in the imperial capital, such as Jianghu martial arts sects, civil society organizations with violent and religious colors. Now, this force is the real decider of the situation in the imperial capital!" The last sentence echoed in the room like a shocking blow for a long time.
Situ Jun listened to Qiu Yuan's introduction and analysis silently, and did not speak to him. He seemed to be carefully analyzing the comparison of the strengths of all parties. He tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the big chair, and the room suddenly fell silent.
"It seems that besides the old nine, the elder brother's strength in the imperial capital should not be underestimated. There is obviously his shadow behind the five faction alliance. It seems that I have been a little negligent in this step. The old nine is now in control The law and order forces in the imperial capital, and of course those Jianghu sects and associations will flock to him to seek credit and flattery. position, then why am I still busy here, why not stay here honestly and sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and let's see who can come out first, big brother or old nine?"
"This is inappropriate, Your Highness. Although His Majesty has this intention, His Majesty has not made it clear, and he is still hesitating like him. The opinions of the ministers in the court and China may not be the same. Since His Majesty gave you a chance , we must take good care of it, firstly, to firmly grasp the military power, and secondly, to fight two beautiful battles, let the ministers and His Majesty take a look, who is more suitable for that position?!" Qiu Yuan categorically rejected his master's proposal Angry opinion.
"Having the upper hand in the imperial capital does not mean that you have the upper hand in the empire. Needless to say, His Royal Highness, the Seventh Highness is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the Sixth Highness may also hide behind. Before the last moment, who Don't dare to boast! In short, it won't be clear until the last moment, the old man is thinking, since His Highness the Ninth Prince sits in that position, I am afraid that His Highness will not give up, the final outcome still depends on the competition of strength Decided, at most he has the upper hand!" Qiu Yuan's sunken eyes glowed faintly, and the expression on his face became even more mysterious.
"Well said! Hehe, the throne is not something anyone can sit on if he wants to, nor can anyone sit whoever wants to sit on it, not even the father!" The cold words seemed to come from Situ Jun spattered viciously between his teeth, and the knuckles between his knuckles squeaked non-stop. A sinister aura pervaded the entire room, and even the sophisticated Qiu Yuan shivered from his master's sudden killing intent. .
After a long time, Situ Jun slowly regained his composure, and asked in a deep voice, "As far as you can see, we still need to take down the Jincheng Mansion first?"
"Well, as far as I can see, after taking Jincheng, we can pretend that the local situation is still unstable, and we need to garrison and suppress it. This can give us an excuse to delay the time. The Fifth Army can be stationed in Jincheng Mansion It is firmly in your hands, and the Third Legion still allows him to return to Heshuo and control the passage to the imperial capital. As long as the situation changes, we can return to Beijing at any time." Qiu Yuan made up his mind, and then said the plan .
Under the clear sky, under the scorching sun, it seems that the woods on the hillside where the birds used to sing have died down under its power, and the caravans passing by are much less than usual, and the three-legged blue bird flag on the fortress checkpoint hangs listlessly Under the flagpole, in order to avoid the scorching sun, the soldiers sneaked into the nearby houses to rest. At noon, even bronze figures can be roasted, and there is not even a ghost on the road. Who cares? Standing against the sun on the observation post like a steamer.
Just in the middle of noon, a caravan that entered the customs was resting at the gate. A dozen carts were lying on the side of the road just before entering the city gate. The watermelons they brought were piled up all over the ground. , the sand is sweet and delicious, the pulp full of pulp is chewed and the **** is melted, and the melon juice overflowing from the corner of the mouth drenches even the thin clothes. The pleasure makes anyone feel itchy.
"Master Jun, come down and taste it. This is the authentic Lujiang Sandy Sweet Potato. It tastes sweet and juicy~IndoMTL.com~ The entrance is slag. Hehe, even the current emperor regards it as a tribute." While fanning his cattail fan, the stout man with his chest exposed raised his hand to cover his eyes and greeted upwards.
"Huh? Why are you resting here? This is an important part of the city gate, so you can't stay here. Leave quickly and go over there." The officer leading the patrol was furious at first, but when he saw the other party greeting him warmly, In addition, after careful inspection, a dozen or so men were all dressed in thin clothes, and there were no suspicious items other than a dozen or so carts full of watermelons, and their faces softened a lot.
"Mr. Jun, I'm really sorry. No, the axle of the leading car is broken, and even the wheel is crushed. It's not going to be repaired. It's coming soon. It will be ready in a while, so I won't delay you It's something." Smiling all over his face, a man who looked like a leader rushed up to greet him, and while handing over his ID card, he held up two large, round and shiny watermelons.
Randomly checked the certificate handed over by the other party. The officer in charge didn't pay too much attention to it, but focused on these strong men themselves. Relying on his excellent intuition, the leading officer always felt that there was something wrong with these rough-looking melon sellers.
The man in front seemed to be a little too sensitive, and his hands didn't look like a melon vendor running around all the year round, but rather like a pair of soldiers' hands; while the other few of his companions didn't look like anything on the surface , but it always makes people feel a little nervous, with their eyes wandering around, especially after the arrival of their own patrol team. It was obviously difficult to fix it for a while, and the combination of these things had to make the leading officer in charge of the patrol a little suspicious.
