When Zhao Ji heard what the emperor said, his expression suddenly became serious.
"Your Majesty, are you saying that you encountered an assassin who was specifically targeting you outside?"
Hearing Zhao Ji's question, the emperor nodded quickly: "I'm sure they are definitely coming for me!"
"Those people didn't look for anyone else, they just came straight to me, and they slashed at me with weapons in their hands, it was obvious that they wanted to kill me!"
Even when recalling it now, the emperor still feels a lingering fear. The scene at that time has deeply engraved fear in his heart.
"It's okay, Your Majesty, you should heal your wounds first. I will arrange for someone to investigate as soon as possible to find out what's going on..."
"Too many people knew about this incident during this southern tour, so it is very likely to be used by someone with ulterior motives behind the scenes!"
Zhao Ji sighed and said this.
Until now, the emperor has not recovered, and at this time, the emperor also realized that if too many people knew his whereabouts, it would not be a good thing for him.
"What should we do now?" The emperor had never encountered such a change before and was a little at a loss for a moment.
Zhao Ji thought for a moment and said, "Does the emperor still plan to continue his southern tour?"
When the emperor heard Zhao Ji ask this, he hesitated, and then what flashed through his mind was what Xiao Xia Zi said, that Zhao Ji might have ulterior motives.
So the emperor mistakenly thought that the reason Zhao Ji asked him this was because he wanted him to give up his southern tour.
So the emperor hesitated for a moment and said firmly: "Many people have made efforts and preparations for this trip. If I say I won't go, it will seem like I'm afraid of the person behind the scenes. So we have to continue this trip!"
Zhao Ji's expression did not change at all, he just smiled and nodded: "If Your Majesty intends to continue, then I suggest that Your Majesty be very low-key, such as not being so extravagant, so that it will be easier to conceal our identities!"
"If it's like this now, I'm afraid that before Your Majesty arrives at the next county, the people in the next county will have already started preparing for the ceremony to welcome Your Majesty. By then, the whereabouts of Your Majesty wherever he goes will be traceable!"
"Then a situation like today will not occur only once. Even if our guards are very strong, with such a high frequency of assassinations, if an unexpected situation occurs, it will be enough..."
Zhao Ji didn't finish his words, but the emperor understood what Zhao Ji meant.
The emperor considered this matter carefully and ultimately felt that there was nothing wrong with what Zhao Ji said.
Even the emperor began to think that the reason he encountered the assassination attempt by these men in black today was because these people knew about his actions in advance from this grand welcoming ceremony.
That's why things like this happen.
"Then, you should keep your itinerary confidential. I will leave this matter to you. I believe that you, the Regent, are very concerned about my safety!"
The emperor gradually calmed down, and his thoughts became clearer and clearer.
If this matter is handed over to Zhao Ji, then Zhao Ji must ensure the emperor's comfort, otherwise it would be Zhao Ji's dereliction of duty.
In this way, no matter whether Zhao Ji does well or not, the emperor will benefit.
Zhao Ji naturally understood the meaning of the emperor's arrangement.
However, Zhao Ji did not intend to care about this matter. After all, in Zhao Ji's opinion, if the emperor let someone else arrange this matter, it would be more troublesome.
Because at this stage, Zhao Ji had no intention of letting the emperor's safety be threatened in the slightest.
Even if the emperor asked someone else to make such arrangements, Zhao Ji would privately send someone else to check and fill in the gaps.
But no one knew about this before, and it was Zhao Ji himself who arranged for people to implement it properly.
Sometimes, in order to avoid being discovered by the emperor, they even had to ask their subordinates to disguise themselves.
It's just a thankless job.
But now, since this job has been given to Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji can arrange it with ease.
Zhao Ji did exactly that.
"Your Majesty, for your safety, we will continue to maintain the current scale and posture wherever we go, just like before..."
Hearing what Zhao Ji said, the emperor asked in confusion: "But just now you said that I would be a little conspicuous and would easily attract the attention of those people in the dark!"
Zhao Ji smiled and shook his head: "Of course, I didn't make this arrangement to put you, Your Majesty, in danger, but to set a trap!"
"Although Your Majesty will still follow these ceremonial guards on the surface, in fact, we will split our forces into two groups. One group will be of the current scale and posture, but Your Majesty will not be here. If Your Majesty really wants to see something new during the southern tour, then Your Majesty must not reveal your identity!"
Hearing what Zhao Ji said, the emperor widened his eyes slightly with a hint of confusion.
"But if this is the case, will there really be no one to assassinate me?"
Zhao Ji smiled and shook his head: "This kind of thing, I can't guarantee you, because no one knows what will happen tomorrow, but I can only say that doing this can confuse the enemy!"
"You know, if those people are coming for you, the emperor, they will definitely be attracted by the people in the carriage. I will arrange for a subordinate who is about the same size as you, the emperor, to pretend to get into the carriage!"
"When the time comes, as long as those people come, they will be captured by my subordinates. Then I will give you, Your Majesty, an explanation!"
When the emperor heard what Zhao Ji said, and saw that Zhao Ji had come up with such a strategy of attacking from the east and the west in such a short time, he actually felt a bit of admiration and envy in his heart.
I admire Zhao Ji's ability to think so comprehensively and come up with such a complete emergency plan. At the same time, I envy him for having help from other people.
The plan is now being implemented bit by bit as Zhao Ji had conceived.
The first one was an apprentice from a martial arts school who had a similar body shape and physique to the emperor. After going through layers of selection, he sat in the wheelchair.
Zhao Ji is now busy telling this fake emperor some things every day, which are mainly some precautions.
At the same time, Zhao Ji was also getting information from this fake emperor about what happened today, so that Zhao Ji could give feedback to the emperor as soon as possible.
Although the emperor was not very concerned about state affairs, Zhao Ji did not intend to hide these things from the emperor.
"What's the situation with the emperor now?" Zhao Ji rubbed his brows. Now the fake emperor was outside pretending that everything was fine.
But the truth is that the emperor has had a high fever since he was frightened, and he has been under the care of the imperial physician for the past few days.
