The hall was quiet.
The queen smiled genially, her eyes twinkled and stared at Su Lu.
Li Qing's cheeks flushed, her head almost buried in her chest, and her excited heartbeat seemed to be audible to the queen next to her.
Su Lu coughed softly, calmed his voice and said, "the queen, the minister is the person of the princess. The princess doesn't give up. She is simple and humble. She has been taken care of by the princess all the way. Su Lu will never forget such kindness."
The queen smiled and narrowed her cheeks, and her eyes became crescent moon. It was done.
Li Qing raised his head and looked at Su Lu quietly with his eyes cut. His cheeks were full of joy. He heard the man he liked say his attitude towards himself. Whose daughter was not warm.
Su Lu continued, "but whether the princess can sit in prison or not is not important. What matters is the adjustment of rights."
"Today, five of the six departments above the Golden Hall impeach ministers. Only the Ministry of household speaks for ministers. It is profitable."
"These days, the minister led a sergeant to pick down several punishment halls of Cao Gang, the largest group in Hanshui, and collected countless evidence of collusion and rebellion among courtiers. The Ministry of household copied countless families. In addition to the reward given to the forbidden army, the Ministry of household left enough money for a state tax."
"Your Majesty called his ministers to the temple. Why did the officials of all departments dare not slander him any more? The forbidden army gathered and became very angry. The ministers saw the power of the official Army and were afraid of his revenge. Naturally, they dare not slander him any more."
"If the princess wants to stay in prison, she will naturally be rewarded for what is important. For corruption and borers, dismissal and reduction of barons, all kinds of means will be used. Naturally, she will be able to establish her prestige and stay in prison. As for inheriting the great unification, she can naturally plan slowly."
The queen clapped her hands happily: "well said, Su Qing, when did you make an appointment with Qing'er?"
Su Lu almost went under the table. What he said just now was good. You didn't listen to his feelings.
Li Qing opened his mouth and said, "empress mother, Su Lu's meaning has been very clear. He must support me. The minister in the court, or loyal, or treacherous, or corrupt. How can I distinguish these?"
Su Lu pondered: "this requires an official office skilled in intelligence espionage. What the princess can use is only the forbidden army. The left and right palace guards can't move lightly. The patrol camp has the responsibility of patrolling the inner city, and can't move lightly."
Li Qing blurted out, "will the army be determined?"
Su Lu nodded: "these days, I spy on Cao Gang intelligence and use more soldiers of the fixed army. My performance is OK and can be used."
Li Qing stood up and said, "well, in that case, I'll issue a decree to the metropolitan governor. You go to train the fixed army and inquire about the intelligence of ministers. You can do anything else you need to collect."
"If there's anything missing, just come to me and ask for people and money."
Su Lu got up and saluted the queen and Li Qing: "in that case, the minister will leave."
Looking at Su Lu's back, the queen nagged Li Qing a little depressed:
"Qing'er, it's all your fault. Originally, I could force Su Lu to agree to the engagement. You'd better drive him away directly. I haven't finished yet."
Li Qing's cheeks were flushed and his voice was low:
"Mother, don't worry. I love Su Lu. Naturally, I won't let him fall into the hands of others. But now the imperial court is in turmoil, and my father and Emperor are fainted by spitting blood. If no one frightens the foreign court for me, even if I supervise the country, I can't take the ministers."
"Just like Li Xun, although all the ministers knew that he was rebellious, before me, the courtiers only knew that Li Xun, the eldest son of the emperor, could inherit the throne. Even after Li Xun was expelled by his father, they still wanted to take refuge in Li Xun in exchange for promotion to wealth."
"I don't want such a thing to happen again. Su Lu must be able to do it, so that all the ministers dare not collude with the rebels any more."
Su Lu went out of the palace, commanded LV Ming and went straight to Dingxiang military camp.
Li Ling was training at the school yard. Seeing Su Lu coming, he climbed over and said excitedly, "governor, the information I sent is still useful. Does the emperor have a reward?"
A group of forbidden troops stopped training and stared at Su Lu.
Su Lu shook his head and said in a helpless tone: "the emperor mentioned early this morning that he wanted to reward the soldiers who made great achievements. However, something happened in the middle. The emperor was stunned by Guo Ping's anger and vomiting blood. Now he has just woke up."
"The emperor fainted and made the great general supervise the country. If the great general has nothing to do with the country, our reward will not be less."
The bearded old Cheng shouted, "governor, let's do what you say."
A group of sergeants agreed and said that Su Lu would give orders.
Li Ling also patted his chest and said, "general, what do you want us to do?"
Su Lu took out a warrant, which was issued by Li Qing to call the Ding army, and gave it to Li Ling.
"From today on, I will take command of the Dingxiang army. Do you have any opinion, governor?"
Li Ling smiled: "I'm looking forward to your leadership. You said, let me be a lieutenant. I promise I have no problem."
Su Lu waved his hand and said.
"According to my assumption, the duties of the Dingxiang army will be changed. They will no longer be responsible for catching thieves. They will all be handed over to the Yanjing government."
With these words, Su Lu took a look at the road behind him:
"Do a good job. If you can win these meritorious deeds, I will write to the official department and simply appoint you as the chief constable."
Lu Ci stood up excitedly and patted his chest to Su Lu: "don't worry, my Lord. My subordinates promise to complete the tasks assigned by my Lord and go through fire and water."
Su Lu nodded: "well, take Zhao Kuo with you. I trained them, which is enough for you to deal with ordinary cases."
Lutz went with a group of constables.
Su Lu ordered Li Ling to say, "all the sergeants should practice martial arts. This time, I won't practice the open-ended sword technique in the army. This is a set of martial arts I asked from the governor, which is just suitable for assassins."
The bearded old Cheng was not happy when he heard the speech: "governor, I still like the sabre technique in the army. It's powerful and domineering. Do assassins still need to learn it? It's just hard to go straight up."
A group of forbidden troops are all shining with their eyes and looking at Su Lu. They didn't fight hard that time, and they all won. Now they rashly let these guys change their Kung Fu. Naturally, the boss doesn't agree.
Su Lu remained unmoved and continued to say, "from now on, the duties of the Dingxiang army will be changed, no longer patrolling the city defense, but watching, pursuing, spying, killing and lurking."
"From today on, it is necessary to keep a verbatim record of spying on the intelligence of senior officials and important officials of various departments, especially the intelligence related to the rebellion.
Then, through the specially established information transmission, the letter is quickly transmitted back for the sergeant processing the information to analyze, summarize and report. “
A group of forbidden troops agreed.
Su Lu called the officers of each department, told the rules, cases and distribution methods in the Shuai account, and then dissolved.
The officers of each department returned to their barracks and began to announce to their soldiers the arrangements for running through the Su road. After all, it was the forbidden army at the bottom that was responsible for spying.
