Looking at the back of the domineering two people leaving, although the little emperor Liu Xie's palm was about to bleed, there was no strange expression on his face. However, he swore to himself that when he really mastered the power of the jade seal, the first one to remove them was them.

After Guo and Li left, there were only half of them left in the hall. They were all loyal to the Han Dynasty. However, many loyal to the Han Dynasty were basically killed in repeated resistance, leaving only a few dozen of them. They were headed by Zhijin Wufu, Changshui Xiaowei Zhongji, tunqi Xiaowei Dongcheng, Zhaoxin Xiaowei Fu, infantry Xiaowei Jie and Shesheng There are many people, such as Ju Jun, Wu Shuo, Deng Quan, sun Rui, xuanbo, Tian Fen, Zhang Yi and Zhu Zhan. There are also Zhao Rui, the Yulin Zhongying general who Huangfu Chaobo sent to Chang'an to protect the emperor, Ma Jin, the Yulin left captain, and Sun Ping, the Yulin right captain.

At that time, apart from a number of civil and military officials, the emperor had no soldiers in his hands. Although so many officials and generals were appointed, he had no real power. For example, the soldiers, let alone the soldiers, were the guards around him, let alone leading the battle.

So when Huangfu Chaobo sent Zhao Rui to guard the emperor with 500 elite soldiers, Zhao Rui and his three men were immediately put in important position. However, with the increasing number of badminton troops, the number has now reached 5000. Although Zhao Rui is still a general in the feather forest, what he can really control is only the 2000 soldiers and horses expanded from the 500 people he brought from Luoyang. The rest of the soldiers and horses are controlled by Fu Wan, Zhong Ji and Dong Cheng.

Both Huangfu Chaobo and Zhao Rui didn't think much of this. In the eyes of the emperor, Fu Wan and others were his true confidants. Therefore, it was also a proper intention to let Fu Wan and others control the army.

Of course, among the 5000 troops, the most elite are the two thousand that Zhao Rui and his three men can command. After all, they are made up of the elite of the eastern expedition at that time. The other three thousand soldiers are basically ministers and ordinary people who are loyal to the emperor. At present, their combat effectiveness is basically zero, which is just like the appearance of goods. That's why Li and Guo are so loyal Si was able to tolerate the fact that there were 5000 soldiers and horses in the world. In their view, these soldiers and horses were basically the same.

Seeing the arrogance of Guo and Li when they left, Dong Cheng knew that the emperor was going to be angry. He winked at Fu Wan beside him. Fu Wan is now the father-in-law of the state. The emperor is seventeen years old. He accepted Fu Wan's daughter the year before last. Therefore, the most trusted person is Fu Wan.

Seeing this, Fu Wan hurriedly went out and saluted Liu Xie. Then he turned to Xun you and said, "Lord Xun, Duke Yong and Duke Qin still have military affairs to deal with. This meeting is just to meet the special envoy of Duke Tang. Now the etiquette has arrived, so I'll leave first. Please forgive me."

Xun you said with a smile, "please bother me!"

Liu Xie also calmed down, looked at Xun you and said: "this time, the Duke of the Tang Dynasty has found a long lost imperial seal for the Great Han Dynasty. It can be said that he has made great contributions. I don't know what reward the Duke of the Tang wants. The special envoy just puts forward it. I will certainly meet the requirements of the Duke of the Tang Dynasty."

"Dare not, my Lord has a word, thunder, rain and dew, are heaven's grace!" Xun you replied respectfully;

"what a thunderbolt, rain and dew, it's all God's kindness!" Dong Cheng said with a smile;

"yes, the Duke of Tang is indeed a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. I admire him so much!" Sun Duan, a taxi at one side, also praised him.

hearing this, Xun you quickly turned around and gave him a salute to show his gratitude.

Liu Xie saw that Xun you's words and deeds were measured. He suddenly remembered that Xun you had been a member of the Huangmen court for Ying, but later he resigned and returned home. He could not help but love his talents. He even said: "I remember that Xun Aiqing had been a member of the Huangmen court for Ying. Now I want to invite her back to the court. Do you want to help her?"

Xun you bowed himself and said, "the Duke of the Tang Dynasty is also his Majesty's minister. Under the command of the Duke of the Tang Dynasty, he is also serving his majesty."

After hearing Xun you's reply, Liu Xie couldn't help being disappointed, so he said, "I'm not forced to love you. Please step down and have a rest for a few days. I'll think about how to reward the Duke of Tang, and then I'll return to Luoyang with Ai Qing and his entourage."

"I will comply with the order, and I will leave!"

……

After Xunyou retired, the court meeting ended. With the eunuch's voice, all the officials left Taiji palace. Today's court officials, except for some of their lives, are all OK. They take the enviable Nianfeng, but they don't do anything every day. They just go to the last court every three to five, that is, they stand in the palace and listen to others' nagging, and then they leave They went home.

After retiring from the imperial court, Fu Wan, Dong Cheng and Zhong Ji had not left the Imperial Palace, so they were quietly sent by the little emperor to a side hall behind the Taiji hall.

In the side hall, the little emperor's face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water. Looking at the three, he said in a deep voice, "Dear Aiqing, I want to get rid of these two thieves. You Aiqing have a good plan!"

"Your Majesty, don't be impulsive. Each of the two princes has hundreds of thousands of troops, and they control the three counties of Yongzhou. Your Majesty must not act rashly, or you will be hurt by tigers instead of fighting tigers!" Fu finished a listen, quickly stop way;"According to the will of the abbot, can we only allow the two thieves to be so rampant?"

"Your Majesty, if you want to get rid of these two thieves, you have to weaken their forces. At least you should have a chance to control the whole Chang'an City before you can consider getting rid of them. But our forces are too weak to compare with the two thieves. " Dong Cheng shook his head and sighed;

"if we want to make the two thieves turn against each other, what do you think of this plan?" Zhongji suddenly asked;

"it's not enough just to let the two thieves turn against each other. We only have 5000 troops in our hands. It's not enough to protect the Imperial Palace and his majesty, let alone control the whole Chang'an city. If we don't have enough troops, the two thieves will not be very useful even if they turn against each other." Dong Cheng shook his head and sighed;

several people were sighing, but they didn't find the cold light in Liu Xie's eyes.

"With the intention of the three love ministers, if we need to control Chang'an City, how many troops do we need?" Liu Xie suddenly asked;

"Weichen once talked about this with General Zhao Rui, a general in the feather forest. General Zhao once said that if you only need to control the Imperial City, 5000 elite will be enough. If you want to control the whole Chang'an City, at least 20000 troops will be needed. If you want to drive the chaotic troops out of the city, and be able to defend the attack of the 200000 troops in Chang'an City, besides sufficient food, grass and weapons, We need no less than 50000 troops. " Although Dong Cheng didn't know what the emperor meant, he told the emperor the answer carefully.

After listening to Dong Cheng's words, the emperor took the jade seal and gently held it in his hands. He looked at it carefully. It seemed that he was observing the jade seal but didn't hear Dong Cheng's words. Just as he was about to introduce it in detail, Liu Xie suddenly stopped him by waving his hand: "the three love ministers just need to consider how to start a war between the two thieves. I will solve the problem of military strength 。”
