Situ Jun's forehead was bulging with blue veins, and his hands were pressing on the desk tightly. Even the thick oak desk seemed to be unable to withstand the pressure applied to it. It shattered into several pieces with a thud. The door was knocked open with a bang, and several guards flashed in, silver lights continued, and sharp blades were unsheathed, "Your Highness!"

"Get out!" Situ Jun's face turned pale and he scolded without looking back.

"Yes, Your Highness!" There was nothing unusual on his shoulders, only the unlucky desk was split on the ground. Several guards looked around and retreated respectfully.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry, I also think that the second possibility is greater. Of course, perhaps Your Majesty also wants to find a more suitable candidate through this outing training, but this possibility is too small." The old man surnamed Qiu looked calm, as if he said something else that had nothing to do with him.

"You mean Lao Jiu?" Situ Jun's twisted face looked particularly ferocious, and his cold eyes were like a snake's letter to exhale the light of choosing a person.

"I'm afraid there's no one else except Your Highness Ninth? Your Highness has been sent to Yanyun, Your Highness Seventh Highness to the East China Sea. Although Your Highness Sixth Highness stayed in the imperial capital to be responsible for military affairs, according to my old observation, it was just a foil. Only Your Highness Ninth Highness remained in the imperial capital and was granted the power to clear out the hidden forces of the Taiping Cult in the imperial capital." The old man surnamed Qiu slowly analyzed.

"Why did Mr. Qiu say that Lao Liu is a foil? I think he has been very active in the past two years." Although Situ Jun is not optimistic about Situ Biao in his heart, he is just intuition and has no basis.

"Hehe, I'm responsible for military affairs. What military affairs can be responsible for in the imperial capital? The two armies of the city guards and imperial guards can command the two kingdoms except His Majesty himself? Besides, how could the prestige and experience of the Sixth Prince be replaced by His Highness? A vague and misty person is just to put His Highness there. Although he is in name, he is afraid that the Sixth Prince will have troubles. "Akihara shook his head, and his thin face looked indifferent.

"What about Lao Jiu?" Situ Jun asked anxiously. This was his most concerned issue.

"Your Highness Nine is naturally different. Although it is nominally responsible for clearing out the remnants of the Taiping Sect, it is very unusual to be placed in the imperial capital. The security forces of the imperial capital are divided into four parts, one is the most powerful military. As long as the two legions support one side, whoever ascends to the position of Dabao can be determined on the board and there is no turning around. The attitude direction of the two legions is particularly important, but in fact, most of the officers and soldiers in the two legions come from the imperial capital, especially the intermediate officer group that connects the past and the future. Their families and relatives are in the imperial capital. No matter who ascends to the position of Dabao, it will not have much impact on their interests. Moreover, all Your Highness, including us, have influence in these two legions, and they are mutually restrained and restrained, so they are actually the most stable force, that is, they will support whoever is strong and whoever is in power."

"The second part is the Imperial Yulin Army and His Majesty's Imperial Guards. Most of the Yulin Army personnel are the children of the Imperial nobles. The middle and senior officers are always the children of the royal family or those with the royal bloodline. Although many civilian children have entered in recent years, they cannot change the overall situation. The current commander of the Yulin Army, the fifth uncle of His Highness, the Antai Company, is the Tu Mingtong of His Highness. He has always kept a low profile and impartiality. Your Highness has a fleshy palm to him. Whoever ascended to the throne has no effect on him, and it is estimated that his position will not change. His Majesty's personal guard power belongs to His Majesty directly, and it is not considered a public security force and can be ignored."

"The Imperial Gendarmerie can barely be considered the third part. However, although this part of the personnel is nominally affiliated with the Imperial Legal Department, most of their personnel come from the Imperial military, and the number is not large, so it is difficult to have too much impact on the changes in the political situation."

"The fourth part is the most important force, that is, the power controlled by the Imperial Capital Police Station. In addition to the thousands of police officers under the eight police stations, what is more important is that the civil forces in the imperial capital that are always closely connected with them or can be said to be able to control and control them, such as the martial arts sects in the martial arts world, and the civil society with violence and religious colors. This is a powerful force with varying quality and a very large force. With the other forces in the imperial capital constraining each other and the situation is in a balanced state, this force is the real determiner of the situation in the imperial capital!" The last sentence was like a shocking blow echoing in the room for a long time.

Situ Jun listened to Qiuyuan's introduction and analysis silently, without saying a word, as if he was carefully analyzing the comparison of strengths of all parties. His fingers gently tapped on the armrest of the big chair, and the room suddenly became silent.

"It seems that besides Lao Jiu, the strength of the eldest brother in the imperial capital cannot be underestimated. There is obviously a shadow behind the Five Sect Alliance. It seems that I am a little careless at this step. Lao Jiu is now controlling the security power of the imperial capital. Of course, those sects and sorrows of the rivers and lakes have to rush to flatter him. Hehe, I'm afraid that I'm not the only one who is uneasy, right?" Situ Jun sneered, "Since my father wants Lao Jiu to sit in this position, why am I still busy here? Why don't I stay here and sit here and watch the tiger fight? Let's see who can take the lead first?"

"This is not appropriate. Your Highness, although Your Majesty has this intention, Your Majesty has not made it clear, and he is still hesitating. The opinions of the ministers in the court may not be consistent. Since Your Majesty has given you a chance, we must grasp it well. First, we must firmly grasp the military power, and second, we will fight two beautiful battles, so that the ministers in the court and Your Majesty can see who is more suitable for that position?!" Akihara flatly rejected the angry opinions of his master.

"Getting the upper hand in the imperial capital does not mean that you have the upper hand in the empire. Needless to say, the Seventh Prince is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the Sixth Prince may also hide his backhand. No one dares to boast until the last moment! In short, no one can tell who will win until the last moment. I was thinking that since the Ninth Prince sat in that position, I am afraid that your highness will not give up. The final outcome will still be determined by the competition of strength. At most, he will take the lead!" Akihara's deep-concave eyes emitted a faint dark light, and the expression on his face seemed even more mysterious.

"Well said! Hehe, the throne cannot be sat on anyone who wants to sit, nor can anyone who wants to sit on anyone who wants to sit on anyone. Even the father cannot do it!" Cold words seemed to splash out violently from Situ Jun's teeth, and the joints between his fingers kept clattering, and a evil aura filled the entire room. Even the worldly Akihara was shivered by the sudden murderous intent of his master.

After a long time, Situ Jun slowly recovered his calmness and asked in a deep voice: "As far as you see, do we still need to take down Jincheng Mansion first?"

"Well, I saw that after taking down Jincheng, you can pretend that the situation in the local area is still unstable, and you need to garrison and suppress the troops, so that we can find an excuse to delay time. The Fifth Legion can be stationed in Jincheng Mansion and firmly controlled it in your hands, while the Third Legion still let it return to Heshuo and control the passage to the imperial capital. As long as the situation changes, we can return to Beijing at any time." Qiu Yuan decided to calm down and then said his plan.

The sky was clear and under the scorching sun, it seemed that the woods singing in the past were singing on the hillside were all silenced under its power, and there were fewer passing caravans than usual. The three-legged bluebird flag on the fortress post was hanging listlessly under the flagpole. In order to avoid the scorching sun, soldiers slipped into nearby houses to rest. At noon, even the bronze man could be roasted, and there was not even a ghost on the avenue. Who had the intention to stand on the sun like a steamer to observe the post.

At noon, a caravan that entered the customs was resting at the closing door. More than a dozen large trucks were crossing the roadside where they had just entered the city gate. The watermelons they carried were piled up on the ground, chopped open one, green skin and red flesh, the sand was sweet and delicious, and the slurry pulp was chewed into the residue. The melon juice that overflowed from the corner of the mouth was even moistened by the thin clothes. The pleasure made anyone feel itchy.

"June, come down and try it. This is the authentic Lujiang sand sweet potato. It tastes sweet and juicy, and it is slag in the mouth. Hehe, even the emperor today regards it as a tribute." Several stout men with open chests and exposed their arms slaptops while raising their hands to cover the mist and greeting Xiang Shang.

"Huh? Why are you resting here? This is the city gate, so you can't stop. You can leave quickly and go there." The officer who led the patrol was furious, but when he saw the other party greeting him warmly, and after careful examination, the dozen or so men were all thin-clothed. Except for a dozen cars of watermelons, there were no other suspicious items, and his face calmed down a lot.

"June, I'm so embarrassed. Now, the axle of the leading car broke and the wheels were crushed. I won't repair it. It's almost done. It will be fine in a while and it won't delay your business." A man with a head-on face hurriedly came up, handing over his identity certificate, and holding two round and shiny watermelons.

I randomly checked the certificate handed over by the other party. The officer in the team leader did not pay much attention to it, but focused on these strong men himself. Although there was no doubt about the goods and origin, the officer in the team always felt that these seemingly generous melon vendors were not that right with their outstanding personal intuition.
