C1696 Beijing Undercurrent (1/2)
The secret work of the Black Dragon River Army Transformation was one of the most outstanding secret work done by the Qing Dynasty in the recent decade. The news had already spread to the Forbidden City for three days, but there was not a single leak, even Li Tuo and the other members of the Military Intelligence Service's staff hadn't heard a sound of it.
In the entire Beijing, only some great powers with very deep roots would know about this news in advance, such as the important Duke, Qingliu Leader and a dozen or so people. These people all received the empress dowagers's order to keep their mouths shut, they did not even dare to tell their own stewards, let alone others.
In addition, the current Fifth Master Yi Cong had the support of Li Tuo, Yang Zhi and the others, and Jiang Nan had a secret corporation loyal to him that was currently amassing money for him. Currently, the Fifth Master had already gathered a team of five hundred people from Jiang Hu, which was hidden in the grasslands outside his mouth. This was a brand-new military training.
The rich and powerful Lord Fifth had already revealed his political ambitions. How could he not be concerned about such a huge change in the imperial court?
Yi Cong's house was in the northwest corner of the capital, so the butler led Li Tuo's back door and led him to change clothes. After riding away from the back door, Li Tuo entered three more houses to change his clothes, and then went into the eight main alley's red light district.
When he arrived, Lord Fifth and Yang Zhi were drinking together, but obviously they were not thinking about the food and drinks, nor the little beauty who was pinching his shoulder, seeing that Li Tuo had arrived, they immediately retreated to give Li Tuo a seat.
”My prince!” ”Our chance has come …” , who had an excited expression, raised his head and downed a cup of fine wine.
”The prince used two hundred thousand silver taels to buy off the servants. The Sixth and Seventh Marquis weren't on duty, but to discuss northern affairs …”
”Oh!” What did they come up with? ” Yi Cong's eyes lit up as he asked.
Don't even mention our spies, even Li Lianying and Zhou Daoying had to guard the door. However, the young eunuch personally saw the six slams of the scum who left the room and even had a huge argument before he left. It seems that the Sixth Prince did not give him any face at all!
Yang Zhi gloomily said as he swirled the empty wine cup between his fingers, ”Did you make a ruckus? If I were Evil Six, I would also make a racket. Not only would I make a ruckus, I would also retreat and advance, throwing the Western Mountain New barracks's golden seal out … ”Then let's do it!”
Li Tuo laughed out loud, ”What a brilliant plan!”
Yi Cong was not an anxious and intelligent person, hence he asked anxiously, ”What exactly happened? ”Can you not keep us in suspense …”
”Using retreat to advance is the best way for General Gui to deal with this situation. Since little emperor dares to use the name of Imperial Party, then this means that he will be joining the army of his uncles and Mother s. I just want to see how they will react to this matter …”
”The imperial court is now in a state of chaos. These princes hope that the dynasty will return to the era where the Three Dynasties ruled over the Kingdom of Kang Yong, but on the surface, they can't say such a thing. They still have to act as if they respect the Emperor …”
”Of course he understands this. He can't just give someone a reason to give him the title of an royalist, so he has to hand over the military power to avoid suspicion. After all, there are people guarding his troops within the imperial court right now!”
