Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 14670 Army

Zuoqiu Wen stood quietly in his study. This was not only his office, he also lived here a lot of the time, as the couch here was very large and was used for him to rest. In front of Zuoqiu Wen, there was a cup of tea. He didn't know how many times this tea had been changed, but it was always at the most delicious temperature for him and was always guaranteed to be fresh.

Decai stood beside him like a statue. Zuoqiu Wen sat there for a long time. Then he said in a deep voice: "It should be him." His voice made Decai stunned for a moment, but he didn't say anything. He just listened quietly.

Zuo Qiuwen continued, "Decai, have you noticed that he seemed a little guilty when he mentioned Ma Luo, but was really angry when he mentioned those big families? So it can be imagined that he really wants to deal with those big families, but Ma Luo should also be his man. I just don't know how he colluded with the Twelve Companies. You know, the Twelve Companies have existed for a long time, and their foundation is stronger than some big families. Logically, the Twelve Companies should not collude with him. With their own strength, they can already gain a foothold in the empire. Why do they collude with him?"

Decai shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I don't know that the foundation of the Twelve Companies is actually thicker than those big families. They have existed for a long time, and there is no way to find out how they were founded in the beginning, because it has been too long, and the Twelve Companies have always been very mysterious, so we can't find out even if we want to. However, the strength of the Twelve Companies is indeed very strong. They can indeed gain a foothold in the empire with their own strength. There is no need to collude with Prince Rui, because even if they collude with Prince Rui, they can't become stronger, because the big families They will suppress them, and it will be useless even if they bring up Prince Rui. "Decai is not a fool. He can actually be regarded as a full-time secretary of Zuoqiu Wen, and is also the most trusted by Zuoqiu Wen, so he said so, because Decai will always be loyal to Zuoqiu Wen, whether Zuoqiu Wen is the emperor or not, he will only be loyal to Zuoqiu Wen, and even Decai has already asked Zuoqiu Wen, he hopes to be buried with the emperor, and Zuoqiu Wen also agreed, that is to say, if Zuoqiu Wen dies before Decai one day, Decai will be buried directly with Zuoqiu Wen, of course, if Decai dies first, he will also be buried in Zuoqiu Wen's tomb first.

Don't think that Zuoqiu Wen has no mausoleum just because he is in his prime. In fact, almost all emperors have started building their mausoleums since the day they ascended the throne. Zuoqiu Wen was the same. His mausoleum was built long ago. This is also the rule.

Zuo Qiuwen nodded, and then said, "There must be something going on here that we don't know about. There must be someone who is connecting them. We must know. But this also has an advantage. We don't have to deal with the twelve companies, the major families and him at the same time. They are not in the same group. This is also good news for us."

Decai said: "But Your Majesty, the army here on the capital star is still in the hands of Prince Rui. This is not a good thing. But the embarrassing thing is that if we deal with Prince Rui, it will only cause more trouble and make Prince Rui suspicious. What should we do?" This is what Decai is most worried about now, because this matter is really very important to them.

Zuo Qiuwen frowned, then said, "We need to find a way to strengthen our strength. It would be great if we could control some of the garrison troops, but it's not easy to control the garrison troops. The most important thing is that he is still watching us."

Decai thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I have an idea. Zhao Hai said before that the royal family and the major families in our empire are in a state of balance. It would be best if there was a third force to balance this state. Does this also apply to the army?" After Decai finished speaking, he looked at Zuoqiu Wen. He was observing Zuoqiu Wen's reaction. He had followed Zuoqiu Wen for such a long time, and he knew very well what to say and when. He just wanted to know how Zuoqiu Wen reacted to his words.

Zuo Qiuwen was stunned for a moment, then said: "Go on." He was very interested in Decai's words. He wanted to know what Decai meant and how to strike a balance in the army. You know, the balance in the army is not easy to play. If you don't get it right, there will be chaos.

Decai said, "Now, in addition to the garrison, there is actually another army in the capital, and the strength of this army is not bad." Decai stopped talking here, but Zuoqiuwen immediately understood which army Decai was talking about. "Prince Liuru!" Zuoqiuwen said this name softly. That's right, in the capital star, in addition to the garrison, there is also Prince Liuru. The strength of Prince Liuru is certainly not as good as the garrison, but it is also very strong. If they strengthen the strength of Prince Liuru, can they use the power of Prince Liuru to balance the strength of the garrison? But there is also a problem here. If the strength of Prince Liuru becomes stronger, will it affect the prince? You must know that if the strength of Prince Liuru becomes stronger, if it is not handled properly, the prince will have thoughts that he shouldn't have. There are too many such things in history.

Zuo Qiuwen stood up and stomped slowly in the room. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "The six generals of the crown prince can be strengthened, but only on the surface. We still have to strengthen our own strength in secret. This time the secret guards are making a big move, which may be a good opportunity. No one knows how many people are in the secret guards, and no one knows how many people are in the Imperial Stables. We can strengthen their strength, but there is a problem. Where can we get so many masters loyal to us? This may not be easy." Zuo Qiuwen murmured as he walked. , and Decai had been following him. After listening to Zuoqiu Wen's words, Decai said softly: "Your Majesty, Zhao Hai's magic circle." He said this softly again, and this sentence made Zuoqiu Wen stunned, and then his eyes lit up, then he thought about it, and then said in a deep voice: "Decai, you secretly write to people on other planets and tell them that we are now conducting a secret experiment. It will require a lot of death row prisoners, preferably those with strong strength, and let them send all the death row prisoners to the capital star." Decai responded and said nothing.

Zuo Qiuwen then said: “Zhao Hai really helped a lot this time, but even if those people come to us, we must make them think that those death row prisoners are really dead. Only in this way can we use those death row prisoners.”

Decai said in a deep voice: "This is easy. We can let their dead bodies be seen by others, and then secretly transport their bodies to a place and turn them into ghosts. This way, no one will suspect anything. After all, we have seven days, which is enough time to do anything."

Zuo Qiuwen nodded and continued, "But in this case, we need a place to settle them. Well, Decai, do you think that the area southwest of the imperial palace should be renovated?" Zuo Qiuwen suddenly said this.

Decai immediately understood what Zuoqiuwen meant. There was a very special place in the southwest of the palace. There used to be buildings there, but a fire broke out there a few years ago. Although the fire was put out, many buildings were destroyed. And because there had been many fires there before, Zuoqiuwen and others thought that the place was very unlucky, so they simply gave up on it and did not repair it. In fact, the area of ​​a palace is beyond your imagination. There are many places that have actually been in disrepair for many years, so it is not surprising that there is such a place. Some ministers had suggested repairing the place before, because there was such a place in the palace that looked very indecent and dilapidated, but Zuoqiuwen never took it seriously. That place was always on fire, and Zuoqiuwen really didn't want to repair it, but now he can use this as an excuse to repair that place.

After Zuoqiu Wen figured out the matter, he no longer cared about it and went to rest. At this time, in another room in the palace, Zuoqiu Zhi was also not resting, but the light in his room was not on. He lay on the bed with his eyes closed and his breathing steady, as if he was asleep, but in fact he was still thinking about his meeting with Zuoqiu Wen today.

He believed that Zuoqiuwen did not doubt him and still trusted him as before and told him everything. It was precisely because of this that he got a lot of useful information. Zuoqiuwen believed that Malo and others might be in collusion with the major families, which was good for him because in this way, Zuoqiuwen and others' attention would be attracted by those major families and they would not doubt him. Even if he passed this level, he was still worried that Zuoqiuwen would doubt him, but now he thought that he would not. He had no contact with Malo, and it was the Lao family who contacted Malo. In Zuoqiuzhi's opinion, Zuoqiuwen and others could only investigate to this point at most. They could not even find the Twelve Companies, and he contacted Malo through the Twelve Companies. Malo did not know his existence, so even if Malo really confessed something, he could not confess him, so Zuoqiuwen really had no reason to suspect him.

In fact, Zuoqiuwen and the others were really wrong about one thing. They thought that with Malo's status, he could not be easily bribed, but they didn't know that Malo was actually a very greedy person. The Twelve Companies only paid some price to make Malo turn to them. Zuoqiuwen and the others thought that it was easy for someone like Malo to get money, but they didn't know that Malo not only wanted to get money, he also wanted to establish a family, a big family, like those big families. It was because of this ambition that he slowly turned to the Twelve Companies. He wanted to use the hands of the Twelve Companies to slowly expand his family and make his family as powerful as those big families. So from this point of view alone, Malo was not really loyal to Zuoqiuwen. He even thought that if he became a big family, then their family would be one of those big families, so he was not that difficult to bribe.
