Chapter 229 Controlling the government
Lu Qin came to Li Laiheng's side when he attacked Beijing. In fact, many of Li Laiheng's strategic decisions were made by this woman.Last night, she was with Li Laiheng. She saw Li Laiheng the first time he was attacked this morning. She naturally knew the danger.

It was she who decided to escape from the capital.

After escaping from the secret passage of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Laiheng was placed in a special cart.The outside of this kind of big car looks inconspicuous, let alone unobtrusive, and plain. However, except for the fact that it does not use mechanical power, almost all the scientific and technological achievements in the late Ming Dynasty were concentrated on this car.This car was invented by Lu Qin in her boudoir. She collected the most advanced technical information at that time, and invited many experts to modify it. It was carefully crafted by the Jiangnan Shipyard. After the completion, Yuan Chongdi's Hanyang Arsenal was invited The second modification was carried out, and scientific and technological achievements in weapons were added, and it was invincible among tens of thousands of enemy troops.So, it ended up being a veritable tank.

It is Lu Qin and a foreigner named Steve who are talking now. Steve is a royal doctor of the British Empire, proficient in Western medicine, and was invited by Li Laiheng to be a medical officer in the Prime Minister's Office a few months ago.The doctor just took out a bullet from Li Laiheng's right chest, looking at Li Laiheng who was breathing weakly, the famous doctor had to frown.

Lu Qin asked, how sure are you?
Dr. Steve said, [-]% sure.

[-]% sure?It's too dangerous!

This conclusion was reached after Li Laiheng's injury stabilized slightly after a day and night of rescue.Now, the biggest problem Li Laiheng faces is infection.Because at this time, modern medical science is still only enlightenment. According to the progress of history, the discovery of antibiotics will not be discovered by Fleming until 1929, hundreds of years later, in a failed microbial experiment.Therefore, infection is a threshold of life and death for all trauma patients.

Whether Li Laiheng can survive the infection is hard to say.

Lu Qin is smart and calm. She knows that their Lu family's ancestral Chinese medicine is useless for serious infections, so she did not waste her time using her family's medical skills. She still asked Dr. Steve to preside over Li Laiheng's treatment.And she herself devoted all her energy to controlling the government.

Lu Qin didn't feel particularly happy when a woman controlled the government. She didn't want to be a figure like Empress Lu, the first empress of the Ming Dynasty, let alone be Wu Zetian. Her interest was in scientific inventions.She heard from Li Laiheng that penicillin is produced by a microorganism called Penicillium, and many other antibiotics are also produced in this way. With the substance called "antibiotic", many diseases can be easily cured. Treat well.Therefore, Lu Qin's goal in life is to become a famous doctor of a generation.

If she masters antibiotic technology one day, she will not only be a famous doctor, but a miracle doctor!

But now Lu Qin can only let Li Laiheng wander on the edge of life and death, she is helpless, she is not hypocritical, she does not stay by Li Laiheng's bedside when he is seriously ill every day, because he knows that it will not help.

Lu Qin called Lao Jiu, and they formed a secret emergency response team. The members were Lu Qin's girl, Lao Jiu's confidant, and Li Laiheng's former personal bodyguard.Now only Lao Jiu's intelligence department is completely under their control, and it is difficult for Lu Qin to intervene in other departments.Of course, she can't directly intervene. Lu Qin has falsely spread the imperial decree that Li Yan is in control of the outside affairs.Therefore, the control of the government can only be secretly, which is more difficult.

Regarding Li Yan, Lu Qin believed that the less he knew, the better. If he didn't understand Li Laiheng's condition, he would think that Li Laiheng was critically ill, so that he could let go and preside over the government.Lu Qin made Li Laiheng "disappear" in order to create a situation where Li Yan could act according to his intention.

Li Laiheng is different from getting sick. He was assassinated, and it is not clear who the enemy is. The disclosure of Li Laiheng's illness will soon lead to chaos throughout the country.Li Yan knew that Li Laiheng was being attacked, and he rushed to the scene almost immediately. Lu Qin trusted Li Yan's ability, and he had great wisdom. In the empire, his political wisdom even surpassed Li Laiheng.If he presides over the government, at least in the near future there will be no chaos.

However, Lu Qin could not let Li Yan arbitrarily rule over the government, and Lu Qin did not have 100% trust in Li Yan.Lu Qin's control over important departments was achieved through special envoys.She and Lao Jiu researched a list of 36 people. These people are all important figures in various important departments, but they are not chief officials.Lu Qin directed them directly.

Li Yan is worthy of being a master, and soon took control of the central government.When someone asked questions about the whereabouts of Prime Minister Li Laiheng, Li Yan said very simply that he had been entrusted by Prime Minister Li Laiheng to handle government affairs, and not everyone could ask about the whereabouts of the Prime Minister.Because he had secret talks with the main ministers, they knew some things, so in the capital, the discussion is nothing but discussion, and the various administrative agencies are operating normally.

The work of apprehending the murderer was going on quietly, and Li Yan entrusted this work to Hao Yaoqi, a trustworthy man who was loyal to both Li Yan and Li Laiheng.

When Hao Yaoqi heard that Li Yan summoned him, he came over happily, but when he heard about this, his lungs exploded.Mom, someone actually assassinated Prime Minister Li Laiheng?It's so lawless, I want to catch the murderer and cut him to death!

When Li Yan told him that this matter could only be done quietly, he realized that the assassination of Li Laiheng was not a vendetta, but a political murder.Political murder is a major event, not only for Li Laiheng, but also for the country.

So who has this ambition?
Dorgon?Zhang Xianzhong?Or Li Zicheng's generals?Or a remnant of the Ming Dynasty?
Both are possible, but neither quite like it!

Hao Yaoqi felt that he had a great responsibility, and he was very grateful for Li Yan's trust in him. There are so many people who can preside over this matter, and he chose Hao Yaoqi. For friendship, the most reliable person is me, Hao Yaoqi.

Hao Yaoqi quickly dispatched his elite troops secretly to deploy defenses near the capital, and he led a team of thousands of scouts to search and arrest the city. He was determined to dig three feet to find the murderer.
