Chapter 165
Following Wu Qingyu's eloquent talk, Lu Hao finally had a clear understanding of the defense of the imperial capital.

That is, most of the army is in the hands of Yu Wenji, Minister of War, and only Dugu Shenyong, who has an army of 30 in Yanshan Camp, can compete with it.

Now that the emperor is in a coma, Yu Wenji holds the military power, and the prime minister is working in collusion, it seems that the imperial capital is really in turmoil!
Lu Hao wasn't very worried before, but now that he understands the entire situation in the imperial capital, he suddenly feels a little less confident.

"No! Yu Wenji is really going to take action!"

Lu Hao suddenly blurted out.

"My lord, what did you say?"

Wu Qingyu's expression also changed.

"Why didn't I think of that? How could I be so stupid?"

Lu Hao knocked his head hard.

Before, neither Yu Qian nor Yu Wenji wanted Concubine Li and her son to leave the palace. Why did they leave voluntarily now?
What does this indicate?
This shows that Master Yu Wenji is indeed going to take action. He is worried about hurting his daughter, or is worried about catching his daughter and threatening him, so he lets the mother and son leave.

"Sir, what's wrong with you? Who did you say Yu Wenji was going to do?"

Wu Qingyu asked.

"Yes, Yu Wenji will definitely mobilize his troops soon. Even if he doesn't attack the palace, he will bloodbath the imperial city!"

Lu Hao nodded heavily and added.

"Sir, are you saying that...the Minister of War, Yu Wenji, is planning to rebel?"

Wu Qingyu was also shocked.

"This matter must not be leaked! I want to enter the palace to see the Queen Mother, but I don't know if it will be late?"

Lu Hao was frightened for a while.

"Sir, why are you going to see the Empress Dowager? The plan for now is to seize military power!"

Wu Qingyu spoke loudly.

"Military power? This military power is controlled by the Ministry of War. Where can I get the military power?"

Lu Hao looked confused.

"Sir, don't you have the Emperor's Sword? The Emperor's Sword represents the emperor and can completely take over military power."

Wu Qingyu quickly explained.

"No hurry, no hurry, let me think about it."

Lu Hao forced himself to calm down.

Now that we already know Yuwenji's plan, it will be easier to deal with it.

The departure of Concubine Li and her son from the palace was just a precursor. Even if Yu Wenji wanted to take action, he would not be in such a hurry.

There is no doubt that Yu Wenji and Yu Qian are still waiting for news from the emperor. Once the emperor dies, they may take the opportunity to launch a mutiny.

However, if the army is mobilized according to the order of the Ministry of War, it will definitely not be a rebellion, but a Qing emperor who will control the power of the government and support the eldest prince Murong Xian to ascend the throne.

If you want to mobilize the army, you need orders from the Ministry of War and military symbols, and military symbols are generally controlled by the emperor.

Unless the emperor awarded all these military symbols to those generals or commanders.

In this case, Lu Hao wondered if he could get back all the military talismans that had been awarded.

"Master Wu, go and check, who has the military talisman? Who doesn't have the military talisman?"

Lu Hao explained.

"Subordinates take orders!"

Wu Qingyu was ordered to leave.

Lu Hao looked at his back, but his expression was not very good, but he was deep in thought.

The most important question now is, is Wu Qingyu worthy of trust?

Lu Hao just blurted out that Yu Wenji was planning to rebel, and now he regrets it.

Seeing Wu Qingyu in disguise leaving, Lu Hao followed quietly.In his opinion, if Wu Qingyu was Yu Wenji or Yu Qian, he would definitely pass on the news just now.

Wu Qingyu went all the way east and entered a secret stronghold in the east gate, and soon issued an investigation order to his subordinates.

Judging from this secret stronghold, it was set up opposite the Yamen of the Guards Army. It was obviously targeted specifically at the commanders of the Guards Army.

There is no doubt that the government offices of the Guards must also have secret spies arranged by Wu Qingyu, so that they can cooperate inside and outside and obtain a lot of information.

Otherwise, he would not be sure that there were four commanders loyal to Yu Wenji.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Qingyu came to the secret stronghold monitoring the city defense military office and also issued an order.

Now it seems that there is no problem with Wu Qingyu's loyalty.

However, Lu Hao was still worried and waited until he returned to the Supervision Department before he breathed a sigh of relief.

None of the people in the Supervision Department were promoted by him. Therefore, everyone's loyalty needs time to be observed and investigated.

"Sir, actually, I have the data you need here. However, I am still a little worried and asked someone to confirm it."

Wu Qingyu reported back.

"Master Wu, thank you for your hard work. Starting today, I will send people to keep an eye on Yu Qian, Yu Wenji, Dugu Shenyong, and several ministers. I want to know their whereabouts."

Lu Hao said.

"Reporting to your lord, because these people can threaten the security of the imperial capital, my subordinates have already arranged to follow them in all directions."

Wu Qingyu responded loudly.

Lu Hao really didn't expect that Mr. Wu was so smart and his loyalty was not a problem.

"Master Wu, the safety of the entire imperial capital is now in your hands. I believe you will do a good job!"

Lu Hao smiled and praised.

"My subordinates must cooperate with you to protect the safety of the imperial capital! Protect the safety of the emperor!"

Wu Qingyu clasped his fists and replied loudly.

"Master Wu, don't worry, if this matter is done well, I will definitely take credit for you in front of the emperor!"

Lu Hao encouraged.

"My subordinates will do their best!"

Wu Qingyu assured loudly.

Judging from the conversation last night, Yu Wenji and Yu Qian would not launch a mutiny so soon.

However, what if the two of them desperately launch the attack in advance?
Therefore, Lu Hao asked Wu Qingyu to send someone to keep an eye on the two of them to see their movements and comprehensively judge the time when the mutiny would be launched.

At the military aircraft office on the other side, Yu Qian and Yu Wenji submitted a memorial to the Empress Dowager urging Chen Lin to send troops, and received the Empress Dowager's approval.

Although Yu Qian secretly told Chen Lin that he could help him clear the relationship, the army still had to move.

Along with the memorial urging Chen Lin to send troops, there was also a huge list of military expenditures.

How could the Empress Dowager control such a huge military expenditure? She approved the military expenditure with a stroke of her pen.

Now Shangguan Fengyi just wants Chen Lin and the Xixia Kingdom to defeat both sides, and then let Dugu Shenyong go and wipe out their remaining defeated soldiers.

Of course, Yu Qian and Yu Wenji had already figured out how to intercept these incoming military expenses.

If there is so much military expenditure, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, so why worry about the mutiny not succeeding?
Mr. Yu Qian is worthy of being a prime minister. He is connected with each other, and he can also profit from it.

Lu Hao was taking a nap after lunch when urgent information about Hangu Pass arrived.

"Chen Lin's army is really on the move!"

Lu Hao looked at the information and didn't know whether he was happy or worried.

There were 5000 troops left behind at Hangu Pass. Chen Lin personally led the rest of the army and headed west in a mighty manner.

As for whether to attack Xixia?That’s unknown!
