Under Gu Jinzhi's arrangement, the rotation of guards between the Beijing camp and the outer city garrison was carried out in an orderly manner.
In this way, the three armies under the Imperial Stables were able to reduce their strength and become more flexible.
Among them, the Imperial Guards and the Warrior Battalion were responsible for guarding the inner city.
The palace was handed over to the few remaining guards and eunuchs who knew some martial arts.
However, what made Gu Jinzhi most relieved was that Li Wei had finally been quiet these days.
When Gu Jinzhi came to court, she sat on the dragon throne with him and exuded a cold air.
Gu Jinzhi summoned the cabinet ministers to discuss matters, and she was there to accompany him.
As a result, the resistance to Gu Jinzhi's implementation of the decree was greatly reduced, and everything went smoothly.
Gu Jinzhi was happy, but the court officials were at a loss.
Nowadays, everyone has to prepare a suicide note before going out, and when they meet the emperor and empress, they are all very nervous and cautious.
It is clearly autumn in Yujing and the weather is turning cooler.
But they sweat all day long, and their lives are more unbearable than the dog days of summer.
Especially before the morning court, the time for singing "The Internationale" is unshakable.
Before, many people dared to fill in the gaps and do things perfunctorily with a hum and a haw.
Now, everyone sang at the top of their lungs, with solemn expressions, as if they were about to join the party at the next moment.
Three days passed in a flash.
On the morning of the fourth day, Duke Li finally submitted a report that the Beijing camp had successfully taken over the defense of the outer city.
All the strong and capable men among the original outer city defenders were disbanded and incorporated into various units of the Beijing camp.
As for the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled who have families, they will be allowed to return home and participate in the benevolent policy of dividing the land; for those who are homeless, the court will organize them to participate in military reclamation or remarry and start a new life.
Seeing that the situation in Yujing City had basically stabilized, Li Wei proposed to Gu Jinzhi during breakfast:
"After dinner, I'll leave for Fengjing."
"At my current speed, if everything goes well, I'll be back before dark."
Just as Gu Jinzhi was about to agree, Chu Hong came running in hurriedly from outside the warm room with small steps.
"Your Majesty... ahem... Your Majesty," Chu Hong bowed and reported, "A warrior has arrived outside Chengtian Gate, claiming to be an old friend of your Majesty and your Majesty, and wishes to enter the palace for an audience."
After saying that, he also gave a general description of the man's physical features.
Upon hearing this, Li Wei and Gu Jinzhi exchanged glances.
Judging from Chu Hong's description, the person who came was most likely Min Zimo.
When the three of them entered the Guantian Mirror, their "birth points" were all in the palace, so they quickly gathered together.
In order to find the whereabouts of Min Zimo and Su Mo, the spies of the factory guards ran almost all over the capital.
It took more than twenty days before they found Su Mo, who was only half alive, in a clinic in Tong County.
But no matter how hard the factory guards searched, there was no news of Min Zimo.
I thought this guy had died because he couldn't withstand the first wave of crisis due to Li Wei's suppression.
Unexpectedly, a month later, he showed up on his own initiative.
While Gu Jinzhi breathed a sigh of relief, his brows unconsciously furrowed.
He looked at Chu Hong and asked in a deep voice, "How is the health of this person?"
Chu Hong was a little confused by the question, but he still answered truthfully: "Your Majesty, that warrior is imposing and full of energy. Judging from his aura, he is probably a good fighter in the third level."
After hearing this, Gu Jinzhi's brows furrowed even tighter.
He waved his hand to let Chu Hong retreat outside the hall and wait, then he exchanged a glance with Zeng Yi who was standing behind Li Wei.
Seeing that he was not sending anyone to see the emperor, Li Wei fell into deep thought and began to murmur in her heart, but she did not urge him.
Her mind was now full of the trip to Fengjing. She was thinking about what kind of posture she would use to "eliminate the barbarians" when she arrived at her destination.
As for what Gu Jinzhi is planning, just wait for him to speak up.
After a moment, Gu Jinzhi turned to Li Wei, his tone somewhat inquiring: "Don't you find it strange?"
Li Wei was a little confused by the question, "Huh?"
Seeing this, Gu Jinzhi shook his head helplessly:
"Su Mo was suppressed by you and was so sick that he couldn't get out of bed. When I first came in, I was also poisoned and almost died. Even Zeng Yi, who was a member of the Zeng family and received special treatment, was also covered in wounds at the beginning, and..."
As he spoke, his eyes vaguely swept across Zeng Yi's crotch.
The "powerful eunuch" Zeng Gonggong felt a sudden chill in an unspeakable part of his body, and he almost broke down on the spot.
He raised his eyebrows, leaned closer to Li Wei, twisted his fingers, and said unwillingly: "Your Majesty, look at His Majesty, he...he is so disrespectful..."
Li Wei didn't join in his play because, after listening to Gu Jinzhi's analysis, she also felt a chill in her heart.
Gu Jinzhi was not clear about his specific numerical strength and could only infer the essence through phenomena.
But she herself knew clearly...her blood nourishment reached an unprecedented 100 points.
So, when she saw the sick Gu Jinzhi, saw Zeng Yi who was covered in wounds and missing a part, and even heard that Su Mo was bedridden, she didn't think there was anything wrong.
Now, an "oddball" like Min Zimo has emerged.
Things suddenly seemed a little strange.
She waved her hand, signaling Zeng Yi to calm down and not act funny at this critical moment.
Without him making jokes, the atmosphere between the three of them immediately returned to its proper seriousness.
Li Wei stroked her smooth chin with her slender hand and pondered:
"Now that you put it that way, there is some truth to it."
"Min Zimo is ninety-five, Su Mo is ninety-four, the difference between them is not much."
