The deployment of troops has always been the most sensitive issue for those in power throughout history.
It would be extremely difficult to allow foreign troops into the capital.
But given the current situation, Li Chen had to use this power.
Otherwise, it is not safe.
No one knows how many people Zhao Xuanji has prepared.
Su Zhen Ting pondered for a moment, then said, "Your Highness, do you still remember the Liaodong Army"
Li Chen looked up at Su Zhen Ting, signaling for him to continue.
Last year, Pingbei received an order to go to the Xian Dynasty to quell the Dongying rebellion. During this campaign, he requisitioned troops from the Liaodong army. The main commander, Hu Shifan, was an old subordinate of my father and was loyal beyond reproach.
As for the armies in other places, I believe it's best to leave them untouched if possible. After all, besides Zhao Xuanji, we also need to guard against local feudal lords taking advantage of the situation to rebel, especially in Jiqing Road and Gansu-Shaanxi regions. One is ruled by King Wen, the other by King Ning, so any disturbance could have repercussions throughout the empire.
Moreover, the loyalty of some military commanders in certain regions is also questionable.
"This matter, if not foolproof, should not be acted upon hastily."
Upon hearing this, Li Chen nodded and said, "Then I shall follow your orders, General. I will immediately issue a dispatch to you, and you can send people to order the Liao Dong army to march urgently into the capital!"
"I obey your orders, Your Highness!"
Li Chen wrote the imperial decree, sealed it with the jade seal and the Prince's seal, then had Su Zhen-ting take it away. He sent people to Liaodong at top speed.
And next, Li Chen was still busy, he called for San Bao.
"Zhao Xuanji could launch a military coup at any time."
Li Chen's first sentence made Sanbao understand immediately.
"This slave understands." Sānbǎo bowed.
"Go take care of it." Li Chen said calmly.
Although their conversation was minimal, Siba understood exactly what to do next.
Leaving Xizhi Palace, San Bao licked his lips excitedly. The next thing was probably the biggest thing he had done since the establishment of Dongchang and his appointment as Factory Director. It would also be his greatest achievement before retiring.
So he decided to make a big splash of it.
Returning to the Dongchang, Sanzhao immediately summoned all of his men in the capital.
"His Highness has ordered that there are treacherous officials stirring up trouble within the court. He has tasked our Dongchang with handling this matter. From today onwards, no one is allowed to take a break or request leave. Even if they die, they must remain at their posts."
And your task, is to apprehend people.
Below, the thousand household commanders of Dongchang were all excited. They weren't afraid of offending people because their merit came from offending people. What they feared was that there would be no one to offend, so Dongchang and they would have no reason to exist.
To be dogs for the royals, that is their reason for existence.
Just as there was a constant flow of officials coming and going from Xi Zhengdian, Zhao Xuan's residence also saw an unceasing stream of officials.
One thing after another, one command after another, issued from Xizheng Hall and Zhao Mansion.
The two largest political factions in the Qin Empire are now officially clashing, this battle will not be taken lightly, they will fight until one side is completely annihilated.
Both sides have their own methods and strategies, all with one purpose: to kill the other and survive themselves.
Throughout the entire capital, the weather remained clear and sunny. With the arrival of summer, temperatures were gradually rising. However, many people with keen senses could smell a hint of coldness and killing intent in the air.
